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. On the variety of cotton proper to be cultivated on the Sea Islands; by J ('Mcmursh B. Scabrook. Accounted' tbe progress made in tho culture of Sugar in the neighborhood of Beaufort; by Ed ward Barkwll. Account of some experiments made in the cul ture of Clover; by Tuomas Porker.

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. Creek Agency, July Ist. 1831. Sir —lnformation that can be relied on has just reached me, that, the Small Pox has made its ap- I pearan.ee among the Indians about forty miles i from this place on the Federal Road ; and as the | Indians are in the daily practice of visiting Co- ! luinbus and other frontier settlements of Georgia,! yon will please give the information, through the medium of your paper. lam air, respectfully, your obt. servt. ' JOHN CROWEL. 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. //. O list Hit V//.
