Mr. Wirt.—We learn, with great regret, that Mr. Wirt's appearance during his recent argument before the Supreme Court, in the case of the Cherokee Nation, indicated the ravages that disease has made upon his frame. His intellectual powers are still as vigorous as ever, but sickness has laid its blight upon his person. We have heard that it is his intention to settle in Louisiana, where, we trust, the climate may re-invigorate his health, and add many days to a life which has already been so honorable and so useful.
