SOUTHERN AGRICULTURIST.
We have received three numbers of this valua
ble work, but have been so negligent as not be
fore to acknowledge its reception. The highest
eulogism which can be pronounced upon this val
uable work, is, the fact, that the last# 1 American
Farmer” which we received, selects from the
“‘Agriculturist,” at leastone fourth of its contents.
This tribute ol'respect from one periodical to an
other cannot come under the head of fashionable
puffing. It is an intelligent and gentlemanly in
terchange of courtesies, which cannot but tend to
promote a, liberal and useful competition.
Beside a number of judicious selections, the
following original Articles appear i:i the “South
ern Agriculturist” for the present month. Wo
shall quote from them hereafter.

• THE CHATTAHOOCHIE BANK.
It will lie remembered by many of our readers
what great interest has been produced, from the
anxiety of different individuals, composing two
companies, to obtain a ipajority or control of the
Stock in the Chattahoochie Bank. The most
lively interest was manifested, and the greatest
[exertions made, at all the places where Books
were opened, and, aftervarious conflicts, the Stock
was nearly equally divided. At Forsyth, howev
er, such a result did not prevail. Some irregu
larity occurred, and the Stock was taken in such a
way as to have originated a mandamus case, which
has come up before Judges Strong and Lamar,
who are now hearing counsel on both sides of the
controversy. Wednesday last was appointed for
the discussion, when and since that time, there
has been a display cf much of the talent and res
pectability of the Bar in this section of the State.
The following members of it have already ad
dressed the court, Messrs. Shorter, Prince, How
ard and Lamar, aud to day the argument was
continued by Messrs, Rockwell, Torrance,
Jones. Poe, Chappell and T. Campbell. When
the case shall have been decided, we will give an
account of it, and will no doubt be enabled to pre
sent the decision of the Judges, at length.
Just as our paper was going to Press we re
ceived tiie following letter: — Columbus Democrat.

Roger R. Taney, Esq. of Maryland has been
appointed by the President Attorney General of
the United States.
We lehrn from the Florida papers, and also
from Air. Cantak, who has returned home, tiiat
the Commissioners appointed by the Executive
of this State to run the dividing line between
Georgia and Florida, after giving the St.
Mary’s river a thorough examination have fix
ed oh its middle branch, as being in their
opinign the principal one. It was traded into
Lake Randolph or Ocean Pond, and from
thenoe Air. Thomas, the surveyor, is running
the line to the junction of the Flint and Chat
tahoochie. The St. Mary’s lias, it appears,
three branches; the source of tho Northern
one was agreed on by the American and Spa
nish Commissioners, EHicott and Miner, as
the spot where the line fimnstho junction of j
Flint aud Chattahoochie should terminate;
the report made to the Governor of this State
by the late Surveyor General, Mr. Mcßride,
who carefully examined the several streams
forming the St. Mary’s, was clearly in favor of
the South branch; and the present Conimi
oners determine, that neitner the North nor
South branch, but the middle one, is the true
source of the St. Mary’s.
If the exercise of jurisdiction over tlid con
tested territory should be claimed by both
Georgia and as it probably will be
some inconvenience maybe experienced by
the people living on it, until the question can
be determined by a decision of the Supreme
Court. Some of the lands which have been
sold by tbe U. States as within the territory of
Florida will be thrown into Georgia by the
line now running.— South. Rrc.
