Chicago. May 9.-The marriage of Gen. Phil. Sheridan to Miss R. Rucker will take place during the first week in June, at the residence of General D. H. Fucker, on Mich igan avenue. The most elaborate prepara- tions are being made, and society is already in a profound furry. The nuptials are to be attended with all the so,emnity and splen- dor of the Roman Catholic church, the bride being devotee of that faith. Bishop Faley will probably perform the ceremony, though it is thought that efforts will be made to in- duce the Cardinal to visit Chicago for that purpose. The President and Mrs. Grant, with other distinguished personages, are ex- pected to be present. The bride, tall and beautiful brunette, is the second daughter of General D. H. Rucker and is l9y years of age. She graduated at the Convent of St. Leon- ards, and is said to be highly accomplished and intelligent.
 Washington, May l2.-The news from all sources from the Mexican frontier of Texas is not at all assuring, and betokens serious trouble. The raiding troubles seem to be more frequent and better organized, anc the serious attention of the Government is st- tracted thereto. The Mexican government is entirely poweress to prevent such border
  Zens of Texas and their State authorities are but little if any more competent to the task, but they may be made so with the aid Of our national forces which are tendered by Gen. Sherman, who says in a dispatch on the sub feet to the Texans: s'Should it be hostile measure from Mexico, the President may order more troops and take more positive course of action.n The depredations keep all ..tl, ar1f ntf which renders the fears and excitement greater on the border.
 Lexington, Ky, May l3.-John c. Breck- enridge is sinking rapidly, and his death IS expected at any moment.
 Sen Antonio, Texas, May l2-Generals Hatch and Davis, of the U. 5. Army, have arrived here from the Rio Grande and report that the raids from Mexico are increasing and the raiders are becoming more bold. Mur- ders are constantly occurring, and unless summary measures are taken the country be- tween the Rio Grande and NeuceS will soon be in the hands of Mexican outlaws.
 Washington, May i2--There is said to be growing coolness between the President and Secretary Bristow. This has beel caus- ed by the injudiclous warmth of some of Brisiow's friends who, in season and out Of season, talked about his lovely prospect for being the next President. Tall Kentuckians stand about the hotel Hobbies and earnestly advocate the claims of "the nan who is hon est, perfick gentleman, sah, and man who has backbone, sah," until much talk has made Bristow several times mentioned as 6 possible candidate. Bristow, it seems, has taken no sort of pains to stop th.s, ;n fact he rather appears to like it, and hence the fact that the Presidential bosom does not yearn over Bristow.
 Topeka, Kansas, May 12.-The Indians continue to be troublesome along the vest ern frontier. The troops have had severa! light sk;rmishes with small parties of them during the past week. Arrangements have been made to send force from Fort Hayes that will pursue them until they surrender or are captured.
 Washington, May 12-The delegation of Sioux who arrived here to treat with the Government concerning the Black Hills country is delayed at Fort Laramie by the intrigues Of post traders. Indian agent Sa- vile has telegraphed their complaints to the Indian Department, aud there will probably be no further trouble. The Indians will leave immediately, and will arrive here in ten days.
 The usual complaints concerning the awards of contracts for Indian supplies are reaching the Interior Department. There is no foundation for belief that the awards were not made fairly and according to the usual rule.
