In the preceding account of the use and
suCCesS OF Inc Vapour bath, we have had con-
slant reference 10 that mode offs applica-
ton by which its primary action is on the
skin alone, the head of the invalid being

cltement the lower the temperature of Tho
Vapour bath, and the reverse.

From the National MteHigencsr.
THE CHEROKEE CASE.

We have noticed the comments in
different quarters, upon our views Of the
Cherokee case, in reference to the de-
eision of the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States upon it and the refusal of the
Circuit Court of the State of Georgia, to
obey the mandate of the Cour. against
carrying into effect its judgment.
In the course of our remarks on this
subject, we said 1T is possible, that
application might be made to one of
the Judges Of the United States, out of
court, for a ha5eas corpus, to bring the
case Immediately before him" On this
point we spoke doubtingly, it will be
seen, not having the Statute book before
US. We thought it possible only that
writ of habeaS corpus might be sued out.
We are indebted to an Eastern paper for
calling our attention to this point, so as
to enable us to correct our view Of the
matter, wherein it was erroneous.
Upon further examination, we are
now enabled to say, it is doubtless true
that the power of the Supreme Court Of
the United States to issue writs of hdbe.
as corpus is limited to those cases in
which the party is imprisoned under
some authority proceeding from some
Court, or Officer, Of The United States.
Therefore, it would seem, that, if the
authorities ofGeorgia persist in retaining
the Missionaries in prison, they cannot
be relieved in the recess of Court. by
habeas corpus. But the remedy is ade-
quate, and is, indeed, no slower than bv
that writ. For habeas corpus, unless
1T be such as a single Judge might grant,
could not issue until the next term; and
when the next term shall come, if the
Missionaries be still in goal, the Supreme
Court may issue process and execute its
own Judgment The venerable Ju-
dietary Act ofI7S9 provides that in ca
ses in which the judgment Of State
Court is reversed, and where the case
mas been already before remanded, the

decision, and a,oard execution.
In the mean time, it would seem to
be quite evident, that all the agents Of
Georgia, who are concerned in retaining
the Missionaries in goal, are trespassers,
and must, one day, answer for the false
Imprisonment.
This is not the first instance, by seve-
raj, of State Court taking upon itselfto
disregard the judgment of the highest
Judicial tribunal of our country. Every
case ofthe kind has hitherto had a lame
and almost ludicrous conclusion and we
have too much confidence in the love of
country and the common sense of the
Georgians, to apprehend that the present
collision between the Judicial authorities
of that State and of the United States
will terminate tragically. Let all the
