July Cd contains several specimens of the saw
age treatment which some of the missionaries.
in the territory belonging to that nation, expe
renced from the mild, humane, and generous
agents of the State of Georgia, by whom they
were arrested, upon the charge Of residing
among the Cherokees in violation of the laws
of Georgia. This treatment strongly resem.
bes that which civilized men experience, when
they tall into the hands Of Algerines, or Moors
upon the African coasts; and was evidently cal
culated, and designedy so, to enhance their
sufferings, and to render the indignities cast
upon them more intolerabe. As far az this
conduct has any tendency 30 increase the repu.
tation OF that State for Justice or marnanimity
( they will be welcome to the full benefit of it,
But we hope most sincerely that IT,. persons who
have thus been most dsgracefuy injured, will
without delay commence actions at law against
the persons Immediately concerned in their
arrest, and IN that way try the constitutionaliy
5 OF the Georgia laws concerning the Cherokees
The parties to such suit will not be "sover
eign States nor white men and lndians-they
will be American citizens, against whom the
State of Georgia dare not shut her courts. nor
withhold process. An action ofthis kind was
probably referred to by Chief Justice Marshall
when he alluded to another mode of proceeding
by which the constitutional question might be
determined. An action of assault and battery
and false Imprisonment, would force the person
prosecuted to defend by pleading in justification
the acts OF Georgia; and on the point of con.
stItutionality, the parties would be at issue ;
and on that point, if decded IN favor of the de-
PENDANT, as in the Georgia Court it undoubtedly
would be-, the case would be transferred to The
United States Court, and there be definitely
setted.-Ne1o YOrk Daily .4doertiSer.
THE STORM ofSaturday, July I6, passed over

EGGS. Few of on. readers, we imagine, can
have any idea of the enormous quantity of eggs
winch pass through this town on their way
from the Continent to London. The year be-
ioro last, no less than $4,000 was received at
the Custom House for duty on eggs imported
from thence, the duty being at the rate of I0d
for the long hundred, (six score) The number
must therefore have been 25.920 900. Larpe
Quantities are also imported from Ireland 81 !
tons 10 cwt. of eggs have arrived at Liverpool
IN the Queen Adelaide steamer, lately from I
that country. This cargo was valued at from
