And I must hive dice, for thou .an mine own,

I.vtkhes’i’inn la\v CASE —The Athens (Ten

' inu-i esiiiifr case which was recently decided
at Unit place by Judge Kid 1) :
A Cherokee Indian confined by Gen. Scott
for improper conduct, was brought before the
Judge on a writ of Habeas Corpus, will! a view
of procuring bis discharge. flic case ivus ar
gued at ful! 1-■ 1 1 0-l 1 1 , and wt it cot.side,-able abil
ity, on part of lire prisoner, by Judge Roane,
of North Carolina, and J. E. Giilesby, t.tq of

cou se of Lite investigatioit, involving lie gen

ot cmitgi at ion.
For the pr,t oner it was contended, first; |
| That be was a citizen of Norlli Carolina, be
i cause ids ancestor bad pr. viouslv taken a re- >
serva inn in Ilia Stale under the treaties of,
181 r and 1819, and lastly, that lie had bt.cn ’
j permitted by Uen Smith, Superintendent of!
; Emigration,'With the approbation of the Coin- j
1 mtssiuncr of Indian altUtrs, to tern in in the \
i-country. On the oilier side it was contended •
| dial the prisoner was not a citizen and flint the :
: permission to remain was void, being in viola.- !
; don ot the treaty of 1835-6, and no: given by I
: the authority of the President of the United !
i States. General Scott, more aver, claimed the
right, and did, in form, in the body of Ids
i lui’ii to die vviit of Habeas Corpus, revoke the
permission given ;* the prisoner lo remain in
I the country.
.lodge Keith determined, in substance, that
| the prisoner was no citizen—that, by the terms
, of me treaty of 1835-6, the «C!ierokees were
; hound to leave the country ceded, and the lime
agreed upon in which they bound themselves
(to remove having 1 expired, the Government of

Tan iV’rsTKit \ Isnuxs The St. Louia
I.mlr in ol the 20th Sopl. says that Gen. Gaines
Ins entirely mi-apprehended the intention of the
'..Mtoekees, m uniting the various tribes to attend
1-‘T '•/■•■’Hi council. The saute paper, on the
authority ol a gentleman recently from a »Uk to
the tribe ~-tales that they arc by no means anx
ious to have a col mien with the whiles, and that
■he thinks their main object was to induce all the
mhes near our borders to move beyond the reach
jof our people. They ate of opinion that their
; proximity to the slates has a most injurious effect
j upon them, that it breaks the spirit of the war
rior-; brings upon them intemperance; and for
iheso reasons they arc said to have some idea of
removing to places beyond nnr reach. They
have ) iund out I tint they cannot contend against
; the .Americans, and they say it they are to be en
gaged in wars, they would rather contend against
men >\ hose customs and manners are similar to
i heir own. I( the Gherokees resolve to remove,
it is probable they will be joined l.y the Kansas
ami other ita'ions, who will make some league of
mutual protection and defence against any new
enemies that they may encounter.

■ < d a night on which to meet the fiend who directs
