Thompson, on the Jackson line, and leaving said mills in said new county, thence a straight liue to the old saw mill site ol Nathaniel L. Barnard, on McNutt's creek, thence down said McNutt’s creek to its junction with Barter's creek; thence down said Barter’s creek to its junction with the Oconee river, commonly called Middle river; thence down said river to the junction of the two Oconee rivers ; thence down the Oconee river to Barnett’s or Neal’s bridge, on said river; thence with the public road to Big creek church to the Oglethorpe county line; thence with the lines of the coun ties of Oglethorpe, Greene, Mor gan, Walton and Jackson, to the starting point; and that the ter ritory thus included, shall form a for said county shall be held on the second Monday in May aud No vember. Sec. 8th. Be it further enacted hy the authority aforesaid, That whereas there is now an outstand ing debt against the county of Clarke, that said new county shall pay or cause to he paid its pro ra ta share of said debt to he estima ted according to the taxable prop erty in the old and new counties as shown by the Tax Receiver’s hooks of Clark county for the year 1874 ; and the Ordinary of said new coun ty is hereby authorized to levy an extra tax for the purpose of pay ing said pro rata share of said debt. Sec. 9th. Be it further cuacted by the authority aforesaid, That the second section of an act to change the county site of Clarke county from Watkinsville to Athens, and to make provisions new county to he called the conn- t * ,e procurement of a suitable {most as a national calamity ty of Oconee, and that the same building for the court house and “ ’ *’ after such deliberation, we have resolved to lay aside aft considera tions of a personal character—to waivo all personal preferences— to consider nothing but the im periled condition of the country— the capacity of the man of our choice to grapple with the mo mentous questions of the day—to meet and shatter the sophistries of Northern fanatics;—to repel the slanders of the vile culminators of the South. The lituess of the man, all things considered, for the grave and responsible office of Representative in the Congress of a great Republic—of vast and di versified Interests under a govern ment in the hands of usuipers, from whom it must soon be wrested, else plunged into revolu tion, anarchy aud ruin. We ig nore the doctrine that any man, or set of men, have claims*upon the party or the people, hut hold that the party aud the people have elaiins upon men, uud in times of great peril, as the present, we be lieve it to he our duty to select for our standard-bearer, the very be t talent m the country. With out intending disparagement to any aspiniut for Congressional honors, we express the opinion that Hon. B. II. Hill is vastly su perior, intellectually, to any man in the 9th Congressional District —superior, perhaps, to any in the State, and equal to any in the na tion. The interests of the 9th District, the State and the entire South, demand his presence in the National Assembly, and we should regard his defeat at this time, nl- Ncv- shall he attached to the Judicial circuit and Congressional and Sen atorial Districts to which said ter ritory now belongs. Sec. 2d. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the county-site and location of the public buildings shall he in the town of Watkinsville. Sec. 3d. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, ’J hat the qualified voters within said new comity shall, on the first Wednesday in April next, at the several election precincts now es tablished by law, and which arc included within said new county, proceed pursuant to the election laws then in force in said State, to elect all county officers necessary for the organization of said new county, according to the laws of this State ; and the Ordinary there of, as soon as practicable, shall re model tjic three fractional Malitia Districts, made bv the d viding line, by adding them to the ad- make provisions for a jail in said town be and the same is hereby repealed so far as the sale of the court house and Clerk’s office in Watkinsville, is concerned ; and the removal of the jail, but re serving all other power and au- passed by grAter dangers than at the present time. Let us send a man to Congress from this Dis trict who understands the situa tion, and can, and will make him self heard ou all the great ques tions of the day, upon the deter- thority therein given to the Town | miuation of which, so much for us, Council of Athens. Sec. 10th. Be it further enacted by thqauthority aforesaid, That after the expiration of the terms of the members of the present Homjg of Representatives in the General Assembly, the county of Clarke shall be entitled to one member, and the new county of Oconee shall pe entitled to one member in the House of Repre sentatives.

His first triumphs at the bar were iu Franklin county. He was the personal friend of many of our citizeus, by whom his loss is keenly felt. We tender our condolence to his bereaved family, and remind them that though his sun set early, it shined brightly from its rising to its sotting—that he has left a spotless record, and died in the. faith of the ohristian religion and in tbe hope of a glo rious immortality beyond tbe grave.• Resolved, That in view of the necessity of electing a member to of weal or woe depends; one who will command the respect of all men in every section of the coun try ; in whom the people of Geor gia have full confidence, and to whom the people of down-trodden South Carolina and throttled Louisiana look for help.
