entire court will sit together. The 10th
circuit, composed Of the counties Of Rob
ertson, Montgomery, Stewart, Oheathsm,
Dixon, Humphreys and Sumner, will be
next in order, and will be reached about
Wednesday or Thursday next The 9th
circuit, composed of williamson, Marshall,
Maury, Giles and Lawrence, will probably
be reached by the first Monday in Feb
ruary. The causes from Hickman viii be
tried with that circuit. The court has so

very much upon the bar. No case will bs

caused quite a sensation in administration

made in his behalf Gen. Thayer left

states that he desired the return of Thayer
TO the Senate, as good Republican and
true friend of the administration. This
looked so much like Executive dictation

Thsyer should remain at home. The new
