U. s. CIRCUIT COURT,
FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS.

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS.
 Most of our readers, in this State, are familiar with the of Moses .4lberty, an Indian indicted for the murder of MT. Long, a white man, in the Indian country! Alberty and others, for similar of fences, were arraigned at the present term of the Court. When the case of Alberty was called, the Court suggested its want of jurisdiction This ques ton was argued at length, by counsel On the fol- lowing day, April 18th, ls44, Hon. PETER V DANIEL delivered the decision of the Court as follows:
 The United States Upon an Indictment for
 Alberty. '''''
 At the very threshhold of this case, the Court is met by the important inquiry, whether it has jurisdiction to try the offence with which the prisoner stands charged3 This offence Is murder, alledged to have been committed by the prisoner, who is an Indian, upon the body of white man, without the limits of the State and District of Arkansas, and within the Indian country. On either side of the ques- tion here propounded, 1t Is admitted, that the Circuit and District Courts of the United States can take cognizance of matters civil or crimi- nal, so far only as the power so to do is con- ferred upon them by statute: and 1t would seem to be proposition equally plain as general one, that the jurisdiction of those courts so far as it results from the terms of their creation, or is necessarily implied in their constitution, IS restricted within the ter ritorial limits within which they are placed Amongst the exceptions to this general prin- ciple, or perhaps it might with stricter pro- priety of language be said, amongst the in- stances which extend the powers of these courts beyond the restriction above laid down, (and there unquestionably are such,) are said to be certain provisions in the acts of Con- gress, which vest this court with cognizance of the offence on which the accused now stands before us: That is, which authorize the trial before the Circuit Court of the District of Ar kansas, of a murder committed by an Indian upon white man, out of the District of Ar kansas, as defined by the law creating the State, without the limits of any Circuit of the United States, and within the Indian country.

FROM WASHINGTON.

The mail of last Friday brought us letter from Judge CRoss, dated 30th March, from which we take the liberty of making the following extracts on matters of interest to our readers:
 MT. CALHOUN reached here on yesterday, and to day entered upon his duties Secretary of State. The principal objects to which his attention will be directed are the occupancy of Oregon, and the ation of Texas. Neither of these measures wi think be carried during the present session of Con gress The latter is gaining strength every hour; :; and bids fair to become the prominent and fla vorite measure of the country. Ultimately, both will succeed and without the predicted consequences of War with either England Mexico. Rumor has it that Col. BENTON is opposed to the annexa- ton of Texas; but such is not the case. He will probably favor postponement of the measure, if a treaty of annexation be submitted to the Senate-as it probably will be in few days. On vote of ra- tifcation, he may be relied on, in favor of it, as certainly as any other member of the body to which he belongs.
 It is not certain when Congress will adjourn. Most probably not before the middle of June. If possible, however, the time fixed by the Resolution of the Senate will be concurred in by the House There still pending, various measures, of prima " importance to the country, which must be acted on. The principal of these is the 7arif. That sub ject will be taken up about the 7th. of April, and disposed ofby the 2Oth when the B ifsuccessful in the House, will be sent to the Senate There it will consume but little time, as the general subject is a ready under discussion there; and will, it is most probable, be, at once laid the table. If this be so, the other business can be hastened and we may get off by the 27th of May.
 The expenses of the Army, Navy, and other De- partments of the Government, will be very eonside- raby reduced, so far the action of the House is concerned and the Senate will scarcely hazard the the consequences of refusal to concur''
