The United States Supreme Court and the State of Georgia. Considerable excitement has prevailed in this vicinity since the reception of the news of a rupture between the State of Georgia, and the Supreme Court of the United States, concerning a Cherokee Indian, lately found guilty of murder, and sentenced by the State of Georgia to be hung—Chief Justice Marshall having issued a writ of error, and cited the State of Georgia to appear before the Supreme Court at Washington, and show cause why judgment against the said Indian, should not be corrected. On the receipt of Judge Marshall's communication, the Governor transmitted it to the legislature, then in session, where it excited much surprise, and was by many thought to be spurious. It was, however, referred to a committee, which subsequently reported in the shape of resolutions, "that we view with deep regret the interference by the Chief Justice in the administration of the criminal laws of this state," that we disregard any & every mandate of this character; and that "the Governor be authorised and required, with all the force at his command, to repel every invasion upon the administration of the criminal laws of this State;" that "this State will not so far compromise her dignity as to appear as a party" in the case in question, and that the sheriff of Hall County, be ordered to proceed in the execution of the Indian.

This report was adopted by the house, and agreed to by the Senate, and thus the matter stands.
