CHEROKEE AFFAIRs-There are four Chctokecs in
Medgeviie, who state, that in the absence of Colonel
Bishop the second officer of the Cherokee Guard with
detachment, crossed the boundary of the State pro
ceeded to the residence of John Ross in Tennessee
seized him, and brought him prisoner into Georpia -
lhey state that this outrage pcrpetraed al the
gestion of Schermerhorn and Curre agcnfs Of The II
States and that it's motive was keep Ross from 90
ing to Washington to represent the Cherokees with the
Federal Government These four said TO be as re-
putabe most Indians but they belong the Ross party
and there is strong TO believe that there "a
truth in the statement it partial and suppresses material
facts lit be true enormous outrage has been
ted which cannot be too severely condenned and which
we shall the more deeply depore because may produce
an impression unfayorabe continuance Of ouard
which has been found necessary to the peace and GOOD
order oil the Cherokee county An officer of that qua
may DO wrong, and so may sheriff, and may Judge
ana SO may the governor of the State. Who for the
fault OF one of these latter officers would think Of abo
shing our courts destroying our government If n
gross outrage has been PerPetrned the offenders ought
10 DC punished; but 1t ought to be permitted 10 exert
any influence over the decision OF the question: whether
1t be proper to continue or to abolish the Cherokee guard

10 the literary world, has been arrested under the

rare OF Georgia and 4 said that his papers give evil
dence OF the fact. We have precise information on
the subject but we fear that this gentleman has suffered
injustice from the excited temper of the times An au
