The THIRD JUDICIAL ClRcUIr.-The rcgu.
lar time for the commencement of the Courts
in this Circuit is the first Monday Of the
present month, at Washington, Rllca county.
1t is desirable that the Legislature should at
once proceed to the election of Judge for
our Circuit, rs it will create great inconvcn-
fence and expense if the whole round of
Courts should BE- missed. -Four men who
were confined in Jail at Cleveland on n
charge Of countericting madc their escape last
week, and there are Others in "durance vile"
who, il their eases are not speedily disposed
Of will probably adopt the same means to
effect their liberation. 1t is no trouble to
catch rogucs in this country, but it seems to
be n very difficult matter to retain them in
safe custody until they have their trials.

tbs CHEROKEE DIrrICULTlEs.-The Fort
Smith (Arkansas) Herald Of the LIST inst has
the following in relation to the recent distur-
Dances in the. Cherokee Nation: .... ..
'S"me weeks ago the full blood Cherokee
Indians, out Of ieudal luminosity, killed two
of the Adar family. Gather and son.) Gov.
Drew, the United States Government official,
seems to think that this circumstance is the
furrrunner OF an instruction in the Cherokee
nation, and, we are told, has written to Wash.
inston asking that more troops should 10
sent here TO keep the natives in subsection.
We do not anticipate any difficulty with these
people. They have their own way of doing
things, and any interference on our part with
their petty qnaires is small potat"es.' Indi-
ans will be Indians in despite Of Superin,en.
dent Drew and the United States Govern.
mrnt, and any interference with the Chrro.
KEGS ut ;his juncturc We conside. entirely
uncaIled for. Let them alone. When they
need our interference in their affairs, they'll
ask for it," .'

Characterization is the chief staple
Indian Corn (Nlaizc) or its results, Pork
and Whiskey. We passed, during our recent
visit, many n corn-iicId large enough for II
pretty good school district, though We did
not see the largest by any means. An old
friend now farming in the Wabash Valley is
interested in the purchase of township of
Pr,ric-six miles square, without tree or
human habitation upon it-which was taken
up last spring, broken up and put into corn,
of which the yield is estimated ut fifty bush
els per acre. or Orer one million Of bushels,
from six-milc plat OF ground, which never
fed any thing but wild animals till now. or
course, the State, at this rate, might produce
corn enough to feed the entire Union, and
have enough left to make all the Pork that
ought to be eaten and more Whiskey than
should be drank by the present gencration.-

systems and old societies. The year 1852
WAS signazcd by spirit OF re uni"n--by

but in 1853 we have the era of disruption and
revolution among the politicians, from one
end of the country to the other The evil
has DESTROYED the wing party, is destroying
the democratic party, and, We are very much
afraid, will destroy the Cabinet before they
