the military on the 7th OF July last, in the South
wark riots, is creating much excitement and inte
rest in the city. The Court-house is full, while
crowds of people surround the windows and doors.
The evidence having closed last night, j. Murray
Rush, Esq, commenced his address for the Com
monwealth. He viii be followed by G. j. Clarkson
and George w. Barton, Esqrs for the defendant.
The Attorney General, Ovid F. Johnson, will con-
clude for the Commonwealth. We heard his Honor
Judge King say he intended to sit cut the trial to-
night. II a verdict is rendered tomorrow in time
for the mail, you shall have it. From testimony,
NC, &c. it is presumed, generally, that there will
not be hasty verdict Much good has b0en done
by Judge King during the recent session. 1t now be-
comes question whetherit is not time to "sheath
the sword and spare mankind" Already have
three quarrels, which commenced with expeling
the Bible from public schools, covered our
nifty with mourning, from which we about to
emerge and our mourning removed, only by the
all-absorbing Joy occasoned by the result Of the
recent elections throughout the Union.


The wings with US are perfectly rabid; they cry
out are the verge Of revolution, they'll not
submit, &c, their factories shall be closed their
Senators shall vote for repeal of the tariff of AZ,
and we will all go the devil together or rather,
they say they will leave their country because





patriots these, be 1t understood, they will leave
their country Tor their country's good The de-


mocrats say the tariff of 1912 shall not be repealed
even by the malice OF the wings, and further, they
say that they intend to hedge the God-like Daniel
who determined, in his speech of coincidence,
at Boston, to lead off in the declaration Of new
party name, in the fond hope of cajoling the Ma
| tive American party into marriage with modern
whiggery The democracy will alter the naturali-
Zation laws so az not 10 interfere with vested rights
| under the present aws-then what will become of
L this Of DOIIflcal iugplInQf The pannla
| up-their eyes have been opened. Let the defeat
ed party take counsel from the present vctors. De-
feat never daunted them-they submitted like true
| patriots-they contend for principles, not men.
You may remember. more than two years ago, in
letter Of mine, pronounced George Miillin Dal-
las, Pennsylvania's iavorite son, and spoke OF him
prophecy, as it has every fact or statement have
| ever given you i'll anticipation; and the election
when contrasted with General Harrison's, in this
State proves how deeply Mr.. Dallas ia rooted in


the affections of the people OF his own native State


He Is most valued where best known; is far beyond
the reach of calumny in all his relations IN liie
and affords bright example in the practice OF all
social and domestic virtues.


The case of Butler Price, Esq, was not disposed
of to-day, but is fixed for Monday. You shall be
early advised by me, II your correspondent Cato is
plants are among the friends to which his on dit
Of Thursday referred to; and we confess that we
think them more fastidious than wise. Cato seems
/ to me to be generally early and well advised OF
matters and ihings he may be mistaken at times,
and probably was in that Time will tell. In
Europe it is not regarded offensive to speak
spectiully Of the most exalted in society, and we
| see no very great harm in the same thing here.
People will differ in taste.--So let il be- Az re-

PROGRESS OF CHERok ER CIVILIZATION


ReEskSsf ASd1vSfes 81 e 81 2b " the n'frEfs. E
glsatve Council, 0f the anniversaries OF the Cher
okee Bible Society and the Temperance Society,
which all give evidence OF the wholesome growth
OF society. We notice also that the administra-
| ton of justice is regular and uniform Arthe Cir
cult Court in Skin Bayou district, Hon. John
Thorn presiding, on the 18th ult., Black Haw, a
Cherokee, was tried and found guilty of having
murdered, in the early part of the month, eoun-
tryman named Johnson, under the power OF whis-
/ key, drunkenness being no excuse for murder in
! the Cherokee code,) and he was duly hung on the
2,d ult. AS our readers may be curious TO see
what kind Of place The Cherokee capital town is
we transfer the following account of it from the
| Advocate


At present every thing about town is life and
animation. The number of persons called together
| by the annual session Of the National Council,
though not SO great as on some similar occasions


heretoore is quite conside rable Besides the pub


lie officers, council men, judges, clerks, sherfs,
| Nc.-there are many otha rs in daily attendance,


some Of whom are called hither by business and


others by curiosity to see and hear what is occur
| ring IN the nation Tahlequah, the place whence


we hail, is situated some eighteen miles east of
Fort Gibson. 1t became the seat Of Government
Of the Cherokee Nation in 1879, after the reunion
i
rokee fairly. The location Of the town is cen.


tral and beautiful, and combines advantages Of good


health, excellent spring water aud plentiful sup
ply Of timber for firewood and purposes Of build
ing. The surrounding country is, IN our opinion,
OF SURPRISING beauty, presenting diversity OF


mouataln, wood land and prairie scenery. The


prairie which extends within the town reservation,


affords luxurlant grass which ID ood substitute


for hay, and as much land OF productive quality as
will be required IN many years, tor agricultural


purposes by those wishing to live in Town"
After il became the seat OF Government, number


"log cabins" were "thrown ups about the place,
/ without, however, much regard 70 order, as they


were designed for the temporary accommodation


of those engaged IN the transaction OF public busi-


ness. But regular town having been laid OIL last


winter, and number OF lots sold to citizens OF the


nation, these cabins will be removed and others


built, which will present better appearance
| few houses have, however, been already erected,
| and others are in contemplation, of tire "iam up


kind. The Supreme Court has lust opened It's annual
| session, in a new and commodious brick Court
House, which, In point oil neatness and durability,


is perhaps surpassed by no building OF the kind IN


Arkansas. The contractor for doinAv this job is a
Jersey carpenter, whose habits OF industry secure


him constant employment. The mason work was
done by little Yankee" all the way from Bos
| ton. Our house iealso a spank new one, eighteen
by forty feet, two stories high, ceiled, etc. Oal


country woman, Mrs. Taylor, has also in fVrwarc
state OF erection, new brick house. intend I'd fol


hotel, which will be when completed, not only
| great accommodation TO the public, but alse an or
nament TO our town.
