Now, while it is remembered that the survey was 1 made by authority of this aefe* we would call the at tentiou of* our lßaders*especfally to tlie following languageaused in it to express the full meaning of the Legislature. In the prcamblo # we read : “The result of which was an agreementßo adopt fbo 1 terminal points of the 4 present recognized line, as the true terminal points of tlie boundary line, to he re-surf ey ed, corrected%lnd marked, provided it is shown by either ( parft- that the present line is incorrect.’’ Having thus, in the preamble, set forth and ex plained its object, the Legislature pr®ooeds to rati fy, in first resolution above, the action of the Sxeeutive the proposition of tht? Exec- Florida,,“to affopt the terminal points off the pres nt recognized line, as tlie true terminal points of 4he boundary line,” agreeing to regard adopt a iine run between those points, or any other line, between the same points, that “may be ascertain*! and established o mu re-sumey and the ® ® - . ‘ boundary, provided sai l bounaary correction is 1 tftade by va - tue of-law, and the joint action of the two ! Stars.' 9 $?o particular was the Legislature in being properly understood fii tlie abßve act, that “ the pres- j ® ent rccojfkized line “ is used la each instruction, both in i\in tn-ntttnM*; nucX resolutions. Tlie twferencc can J® be vary fairly drawn, then, that tlie Legislature me. Wit to have the line then recognised by Georaia, re surveyed, and “if found incorrect by either party,” to jun a straight *iine between the* terminal points of said& ine, and let that be the settlement of the difficulty. Is this vfhat the surveyors did ? They noted under the instructions of the Executives of the two States, given ii® accordance will* this act, and expressly with the view of carrying out i*.s pro visions. The Executive could not give instructions . A coiitranMo the ac*. ;Wid tke survey must, therefore, I be settled by it. We have made use of the Italics j • above, to draw out the particular points in contro- j versy and set them before the reader: and buying • • ‘ . • °l shown plainlw, we think, what the Legislature au thorized in this matter, we now direct attention to (S> r tlie report of Pi*bf. Orr, to prove by his own admission that the surveyors did not mnA: the boundary be- | • tween tlie two States as contemplated by the Legis latureiind expresse f*in tliis act. Lite very opening of the I'eporUof Prof. Orr, is ar; admission, that while” he understood the act of 1857 j to require the running and marking of a line between The terminal points of the present recogni&d j line, “the surveyors dis nojt/mftk it necessary to run j upon the • -id line in order Jo dccidevus to its crrcctness.” i They knew by the manner iff which it was run, he i says, that it was incorrect, and “they, therefore, resolved to run, by an original calculation, a straight > Jiuc between the termini without attempting to follow the old line.'’ Tlie surveyor’s, then, disregarded the act of Georgia ink 1857. prescribing,!he manner ‘n „ •lyclTtlie survey should be mad. :*ud sift up ihei% own theory instead, alleging a foreknowledge of the incorrectness of .(hi* o'd line, founded upon a calcu lation of their own, in which they made use of the data tTmnd in “ EllicotPi But wfeat j strict s us as being yerv strange in this is, thfit while Prof. Orr confesses to have made use of*the , “ata derived from “Ellkott’? Journal,” lie, immedi- | ately- after admits that “the Survey of 1854 proved this journal be ‘incorrect, and that HllicrtPtt had errc*l in his astronomjeal observations, in determin- he terming points. If this be true, liow do#s Prof. Orr know that liis “original calculation” is correct?

Perhaps something may bes Sid here in vindication * of the honor ofßhe old Empire State, and also in justification of the seeming repose of Florida wWle behig deprived of her rights. Let see. Ellicott threw two mounds near the St. Marys river, one at the fork pf the two largest branches, and the other a Rttle oveff eight n iles, said, north of the last„iu the palmetto flats. Now, in her act of 1859, Georgia aJojjted KUicott’s mound as the eastern ter i®niims of her boundary, without saying ® /, mound she meant, the iferthern or southern mound. The question note, therefore, is, whffh of the mound*’ dijj, she agree to aceqjot ? In 1857, she passed an j act “adopting the® terminal points of tj** then recog * nized lot f-,*Fh>rida concurring. Did tJeorgja, infifcs9, mean to recede from her position in 1857, or did # she b’fflqive thafcthe then “recognized liv o ttftmiijfilied at Ellicott’s mound?

If so, her loss of territory has (•onsiderable; ffut if the source of that stream (the south prong) ig the -terminal point agreed upon bp tween the United Stages and Spain, if ]*is im mense. And how has it been ascertained fliat “the prong is not the maig soured? There is not a particle *of conclusive evidence to support it fc r.or (iocs the report of Prof. Oi-r afford anybut hearsay. •He watfin*too great hasteto*get iray from those ( appallinj regfons of. musquitoes, alligators and chillsLnd fevers, to spend mucdi time in observa tions, mid consequently lys labors threw no more , light, upofi the mysteries of the eastern terminus of our southern boundary, than die? the surveys o? other pariies. In fact, lie relites atyiost wholly upon * the ofi servations and “surveys of h?s predecessor®, ! t (®) 1 Throughout kis entire survey.

Orr committed a blunder, unpardoft able as she representative of in the settle ment, and'’'which shetold upset and render totally null Tind vqjdvyis entire survej’. If we *ean do this from his own evidence’ we think (S) we shalbliave gained the question and shall claim a j decree against him and move to Save his survey set jiside as a useless expenditure of the public funds. 4V*e have said |,*>at the only questioti, uniter certain circumstances, notv to be decided in this* matter is ! which line, o* the previous surveys, shall be consider- 1 ed at ‘-thi recog nized* line ” mentioned in the gets of and 1859? Siqpe this Language is usad in eve- j ry instancf'by the Georgia Legislature, amt i,jr j Florida we now maintain that it is the only ques tion to be settled without regard lo circumstances. It must be remembered that in his report Prof. Orr 1 says: “Tlie place of beginning (the survey) was determined, Ry a fore and tfee, upon'* the old re cognized boundary known ns McNeils line.” But be fore dismissing the McNeil line, liesay “it is proper to state that it (the McNeil line) was not rut j original ly for a bound fry, L<*i simply as a precautionary line* •upon which the surveys of tRe Government lands on the south side of it might be closed.” In the tint of tlnAe statements it wilt be noticed that be calls the ® if; (§;• line the “ old recognized boundary,’’ and in the last lie admits that iLwas not “ originally ” inten ded as the boundary?, but only a “precautionary” line. ‘ . Why this inconsistency ? If the McN il line was not ‘'*igina?ly” recognized af the boundary, by what authority has it been so recognized latterly ? can not be shown that Georgia ere? Recognized it as her bourfdary, and if any have so regarded it they were igtiorant of tLe facts connocted with its history.— Prof. Orr does not it as,the boundary, as we ha#* already shown, and in this lie.RO*miitted tli£ blunder we have called* unpardonable. If the McNeil line then was not the recognized boundary, wti* did lie take tho terminal points of that line as the terminal points of ltis survey? Was Ink not going contriiry to the act sf 1857 ? Ifkhe ’ cannot showlhat the MaNeil line teas t I*e “ recognized boundary, and he admits the contrary, then In* did* not make the survey in i&cordanqp with the'law on sthe silliject “and the liac he thus run ismot the legal boundary. Prof. Orr, did not seem to know tlfilt tbgre was any o‘her line in the neighborhood of the Mcheil line, and with all hi- knovriedgm of the his t*>ryo%the surveys between the two State** which we thank Him for including in lie docs 1 not.(mention the ) which is, in fact, the 4‘ recognized hue” we have so often mentioned. The Watson l?t*c, where it touches Thomas county is al most uniformly about 200 yds. south of the McNeil line, and to which the jurisdiction has always extended, for the reasoifthnt sold granted her lands to thatjine. Now if Georgia sold and conveyed her lands tot Sat line and no further, It w#s a recognition of it. Di 4 she so recogn*ize f ihe 1 ’ McNeil line? y*v no means'* mid although |he Mc- Neil line *was riift after she had,-old and conveyed those lands, yet that line did not sever fcergurisdic fion. Florida recognized the Watson line, fnf ajft did not claim jurisdiction nortljof it, arfd tlie Wnitwl States it fuff they would not suffer sections of land touching it on the south to be#olcf lest ft should be a trespass upon the claims p showing*that slie anticipated ehen a more” southerly line than either the McNeil or Watson line as flie ultimate and permanent boundary between the two States. The Watson line then, was “the recog nized due,” recognized by all parties and neveisdis i jftited J>y ar®- unlil brought into ftintrover-y by w siriaaice offered thl Sheriff oleomas county by al sqimttei on tli© iractionjfi lands between tlie two lines, ti year since. And that the true * boundary ” Prof. Orr should liave.“ re surveyed ” it according |o<the act of 1857, and taken llie terminal of that line instead of the Sic- * Nejl line, for hiTnew survey. Vet he seems tg have been in blissful ignorance ot* the existence of such a line? and his colleague who kuew all abouteit deftn it hiyiuty to enlighten him on tlfe subject.— Thus Georgia madefthe sacrifice of more mil lion dollars worth of taxable property, Does not blame attach to Gie Exeeutivff of Georgia as well as to under appointment, for the haste and ( Riosness of the transactfon ? The Executive of Georgia seems to have grown j very impatient of the subject, and determined to sektle it in any ic§y Florida would agl-ee to, and hence he kept it before the Legislature. What right had Georgia, after declaring in 1857 thafcthe termi nal points of the then line” should be thettasis of the new survey, to pass another act Hi 1859, declaring “Ellicotl's mound’’ to be the east crn terminus? and then, after this, what right had she ro !>t both aside, ratify anil confirm the new sur vey before it was made? Who was it brought abfut suSh a complication, and then cheated lier out of her territory? Was it the hasty impatience of her Executive? It seems to us that wisdom and a proper devotion to the fhterests of the State wOuld have prompted* reflection on the subject and ’made our Executive slow t% sacrifice so much the State. Ono.or tWo mote qeftstion% we wish to ask and close this article. The recently established line cuts off a coftsiderAle strip of Gebrgiij, nearly one mile • wide.
