We understand that party Of Engi :
neers, under the direction of the Board
OF Public Works, have commenced a
survey Of the several routes for rail
road from this place 10 Gordonsville or
New Ark. We trust this preliminary
step will be speedily followed up by a
charter for company TO construct the
work with the utmost espatch. The
great uncertainty that must, from the ma :
ture OF the case, ever attend the naviga,
ton OF the RivanDa. renders il essential
that we should have some other means
OF getting produce from this place to
Richmond. We are not very particu-
lar as to the precise route the road should
take, but decidedly prefer a more direct
one. than by the way OF Gordousville.
We are rather inclined to believe that
rail road from this place to Columbia, to
connect with the James River Canal.
would be The most advisable plan for us
to adopt. There will no doubt. in a
short time, be packet boats on that I'm.

time required 10 reach Richmond by
this route would not much exceed that

The Norfolk Beacon says that an in>
stance of the relief to be afforded by
steam vessels to coast navigation in stor-
my weather was exhibited there on Sat.
uIday. During the height Of the storm
of wind and rain which then prevailed
the U. S. Ship Fulton. Captain Skinner,
raised her steam. and departed for the
CaPes in search CT distressed vessels, and
succeeded in rescuing the brig Favorite,
from Turks Island, with salt, which had
lost sails. and must in all probability have
been driven ashore. The Fulton imme.
diately took the brig, in tow, and in six
hours IRON her departure from the har-
bour returned with her prize to her ior-
mer anchorage. The capacity Of the
Fulton is spoken highly OF, and we are
confident, that, under the command oil
Capt Skinner. she will receive full and
lair trial.

Interesting La,c Case.-The Athens
(rennessee) Journal has the following
notice OF an interesting case which was
recently decided at that place by Judge
Keith
A Cherokee Indian confined by Gen.
Scott for improper conduct, was brought
before the Judge oh writ Of Habeas
Corpus. with view of procuring his dis
charge. The case was argued at full
length, and with considerable ability
on part of the prisoner. by Judge Rosne,
OF North Carolina. and J.,F. Giilespy,
Esq. Of jacksonville, TENN defence
OF the application, by Gen. Scott. who
appeared iu person, and made his own
defence. assisted, however, by Major
Jarnagin. who was employed. we sup
| pose. by the Cherokee authorities, to at.
tend to any general question. which
might arise in the course Of the investi-
cation. involving the general Interests OF
the Cherokees on the subject OF emiera.
ton.
For the prisoner it was-conte nded,
first. That he was citizen of North
Carolina, because his ancestor had pre-
viousiy taken reservation in that State
under the treaties OF 1917 and 1919. aud
lastly, that he had been permitted by
Gen. Smith, Superintendent OF Emigra-
ton, with the appreciation Of the Com
missioner of Indian affairs, to remain in
the country. On the other side it was
contended that the prisoner was not a
citizen and that the permission TO remain
was void, being in violation OF the treaty
OF 1866, and not given BY the au.
thorlty of the President Of the Unite d
States. General Scott, moreover, claims
ed the right, and did i'm form, in the body
OF his return to the writ of Habeas Cor
pus. revoke the permission given to the
prisoner 10 remain in the country.
Judge Keith determined, in substance
that the prisoner was no citizen-that,
by the terms of the treaty of 1856
the Cherokees were bound 10 leave the
country coded, and the time agreed upon
IN which they bound themselves to re-
move having expired, the Government
OF the u. States not only had authority,
but were bound TO remove the Indians
from the ceded territory; and that the
Judicial officers of the States possessed
no authority to discharge from the custo
dy OF the officer charged with the re-
moval of the Indians, The body of any
prisoner legally taken in the execution
OF his order or in discharge of his official
functions and that the permission to the
prisoner to remain. ifgiven. was void nc
matter by whom granted, as no power
existed in any officer OF the Government
10 grant permission to any individual
IN violation of the terms OF the treaty.
