THE FRoNTIER.-Some interesting news from the
war will be found in paper to-day. Two successful
and to them destructive attacks have been made upon
the retreatng Sacs since last. Black Hawks fam
i'od band, we imagine, must, by this time, be so far
reduced and dispersed, that they will be unable soon,
ever again, to render themselves very troublesome to
their white neighbors.
The number of Indians DESTROYED in the last three
engagements, is doubtless much underraed they are SO
far reduced in strength by the want of food and dipr-
tied at the hopeless prospect before them that slight
wounds exhaust them, and they compelled to lie
down and die. Some Indian prisoners taken in the en-
gagemenf at the mouth of the Ouisconsn the Cd
nst say that not less than one hundred of their party
were Killed IN the battle of 2st July, died of their
wounds soon AFTER 30 the previously
given.

Weextract the following from com Inenication i'll the New York Evening Post.
 Ut appears not little singular that, in the opinion Of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the late Cherokee case, no noticeis taken of point, upon which the question might very plausi- biy have been decided in favor of the plaintiff in error (Worcester) without touching question of the jurisdiction of the state of Georgia over tic Chero- keeterfitory. The law pronounced un- constitutional, provides in substance, us IS here understood, that all persons rc- siding in the Cherokee territory, ex- eept the agents of the United States, shall take an oath to obey the laws of Georgia, and for disobedience to that law, Worcester is now suffering his punishment. The constitution Of tAe United States provides that the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunitics of citizensin tie several states.
 sQW admitting tllat lne SiiefoKee territory is a part of the state of Geor- gia, and that the laws of the state are binding in that territory, is it not 8 se- flous question whether the state of Georgia CT any other state can consti- tutlonaliy exact such an oath from a citizen; an oath which, if observed, nasgHt interfere directly with his ac- hiowledged duties to the government of the United States. Much might be said on this subject, but it is not neecs- sary here to argue this question, which one would think the learning and ingcn uity of the counsel for the plaintiff in error. might have discovered. The ar gumehts of these gentlemen arenot be- fore the public, but as this point is hot alluded to in the opinion of the Court, it is fair to infer that it was not discussed in the argument"

EXPEDITION WEST OF THE
 ROCKY MOUNTAINS.

We have been informed that during the Session of Congres for 1920 '21 all act was past authorizing the raising oi company or II men to explore the Rocky Mountains, and North from the Mexican line, tue Bearing Straits, and 93 degrees North Latitude. We have endeayored to lay our hand upon the act, but haze not succeeded in so doing; although assured by many of our citi- zens that if is within their reeollec- tions. From the long time the compa- ny have been absent, (nearl5 I years,) all hopes of their return was abandon ed, as 1t was supposed they had fallen victims to the sayages, or the severity of the climate. On "Wednesday even ing the 18th, ono of the party Mr. WILLIAM CLAwsoN, stopped at the house of gentleman in Fearing town ship, In thls county, on his way home wards, (Northumberland county Pa.) who has politely furnished us with the following particulars, obtained from MT.

The snow part of the time was II feet deep. and the company were compelled to eat fl of their pack horses, horses to pre- vent starving; whilst the only food the horses had was birch bark, which the company cut and carried to them by walking on the snow with snow shoes. After passing the Mountains, they pass ed 3S6 different tribes of Indians, some perfectly white, some rcd, some entire ly covered with hair, (denominated the Esau Indians,) who were among the most singular, and so wild that the com pany were compelled to run them down with horses to take their dimensions, which was a part of their duty; whilst

LATE ouE EsssroNs.
From the National Intelligencer,

Ihe Cherokee Case.-We have notie, ed the comments in different quarters. upon our views of the Cherokee case, in reference to the decision of the Su- preme Court of the United States up- on 1t, and the. refusal of the Circuit Court of the State of Georgia to obey the mandate of the Court against car rylng into effect its judgment.
 In the course of our remarks on this subject, we said ''lt is possible, that ap- plication might be made to one of the Judges of the United States, out. of Court for habcas corpus, to bring the case immediately before him. On this point We spoke doubtingly, it will be seen, not having the Stautc-booE before us. We thought it possible only that a writ ol ha6eas 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 CT. roneous.
 Upon further examination, we arc now enabled to say, it is doubtless true that the power Of the Supreme Court of the United States to. issue writs of ha6eos corpus is limited 10 those cases in which the party is imprisoned under some authority proceeding from some Court, or 0DGcer, of the Uutcd istates.- Therefore, it would seem, that if the authorities of Georgia persist in retain Ing the Missionaries in prison, they can not be relieved in the recess of Court, by habeas corpus. But the remedy IS adequate, and is, indeed, no slower than by that writ. For a habeas corpus, un- less 1t be such as a single Judge might grant, could not issue until ihe next term; and, when the next term shall come, if the Missionaries be still in ga- ol, the Supreme Court may issue pro. cess and execute it's own iudgment.- The venerable Judiciary Act of l789 provides that in cases in which the Judgment of a State Court is reversed. . and where the case has been already before remanded, the Supreme Court may proceed to q final decision, and o7oard erecation.
 In the mean time, 1t would seem to be quite evident, that all the agents Of Georgia, who are concerned in retain lns the Missionaries in gaol, are tres passers, and must, one day, answer for the false imprisonment.
 This is not the first instance, by seye- ral, Of State Court taking upon itself to disregard the judgment of the high est Judiciary tribunal of our country. Every case of the kind has hitherto had lame aad almost ludicrous con- eluslon; and VIC have too much confi- dencc in the. love of country and the common sense of the Georglans, to ap- prehend that the present collision be- tween the Judicial authorities of that State and of the United States will ter minate tragically. Let all the parties keep their temper as well as they can: let the friends of the Union stand firm by the sheet anchor: and let no one of them doubt the safety of the gallant ship

We cannot but look upon the at tempts, open as well as insidious, mak- ing in various quarters, to bring into question, and consequently into con tempt, the authority of the Supreme Court of the United States, as in the highest degree criminal. The occasion afforded by the late decision against Georgia, seems 10 be eagerly seized, in order 10 vent upon that Court many boarded resentfncnts; aid unhappily the persuasion that by so doing the good will of the Executive branch of the Federal government may be propitiat- ed, and the present interests Of party
 be advanced, lends ssigof and ;scriifsofjj
 10 those assaults. At one time, the haste of the Supreme Court in deciding upon the Georgia case, is reproachlul- ly referred 10; as fl, where citizens are deprived of liberty and immurcd among felons, there could De in free country too much haste to determine wheth- CT they were justly or not thus treat ed. At another, the Court is formally apostrophized, and conjured to stop ere it be too late; as if the Court had the option of stopping or going at pleasure; !; as if it coald choose what questions it

Coaobiding by Prony.--A negro on a plantation in the West Indies, having misbchayed, was sent by his master 10 the oyerseer with note, in which the latter was directed 10 bestow upon the delinquent divers and sundry stripes.-- Now Sambo had been sent upon such errands before and keen were his bangs at being again delegated upon such un- pleasant duty. He surveyed the note with q rufifcd yisage, and mcditatcd how he should escape the seemingly unavoidable. penalty. At length u thought struck him. Meeting brother Abyssinian, he slammed sudden and sc-
 we're illness; "Brodder Jacko,n he said,
 sme got mazing pain in tomac-prease
 hand dis letter 10 massa, and take
 sick brodder's bressen." The sympa-
 thetic Jacko complied with the prcten- ded sufferers request, and to his amaze ment was forthwith sposted,' and re- ceived tremendous whipping at the hands of the ovcrsecr-a poor rcquital. he thought for doing brother a favor: Sambo was in ecstacies at the success of his stratagem. He soon got rid of his pains, and could never see his friend Iarkn afterwards without an inward chuckle at the ingenuity of the trick he had played off upon him.

Roaaovais of Indians. The Secreta- y of War, in Repoir lately commu- nicated by the President to Congress, states that according to the best csti- mate that can be made, the number of indians who have emigratcd 10 the tcr- rltofy appropriated to them, west of the State of Missouri, and the Arkansas Territory, is I9 390-of whom COCO arc Chocktaws, 3,500 Cerokees, 2,5OO Greeks, 5000 Delawares, l,50O Shaw ness, 800 Kickapoos, and the rest be- longing to various smaller tribes. The number of Indians south of Michigan, who have not cmigrated, he estimates to be 36,46O, viz: Greeks 10000, Cher oIees ii,000. Florida indians 4,O0O, Miamis 1000, and Wyandots 450.- The territory which the Government proposes 10 assign 10 these tribes, is es- timated 10 contain 100 millions of acres. of which about 50 millions have been already allotted to s tribes of Indians.
