DRowNED.-Last Tuesday evening, Rog- CTS, who was imprisoned upon charge of murder in the Indian nation, and a runa- way negro, who was eonfned in the iail at the time, rushed upon the jaIler, with Bowie knives, just after he had raised the trap-door. to go down in the dungeon with their sup per, and effected their escape, before he could get assistance. That night, however, the negro was recaptured, and in answer to en- quiries about Rogers, said he was drowned in attempting to swim the river. This story was believed to have been fabricated. at the time, to stop all pursuit after hun; but, on Thursday evening, when all hopes of retak- ing him had vanished, body was reported to have been found floating down the river. below the State-Ilouse, which, upon exami- nation turned to be the corpse of Rogers. It seems that, in his haste to get beyond the reach of pursuit, he had plunged in the river. perhaps without knowing ofany rise, and. un- able to stem its current, became exhausted and lost his life It was in his case, that a divis-

 ion between the judges arose, as to the iuris- diction of the court over white men. who had intermarried and become citizens of the Cherokee nation; and the questions involved were ordered to be certified to the Supreme Court Of the United States, for it's determi- nation. He fled from the prospect of death aiar c6, and met 1t in the very attempt to es- cape it. y4rk Ga+ette. .Nav 19
