The Western Baptists intend to organize a school of high order, near Talbotton, to commence 1st January next. A building to cost $12,000, is about to be erected. Mr. Josiah Flournoy, of Putnam, it is understood, has pledged $20,000 for a Labor School, and which has been accepted by his Methodist brethren, in Talbot: they intend to organize a school in that county. Oxford is the site of Emory College, 1 miles north of Covington-not selected nor named when the Gazetteer was written. The recapitulation of appropriations on 101st page is for 1835. The salary of the Governor is not $4,000 'till after the next election. Brunswick was constituted a city, by the Legislature, in December, 1836. Mr. Cotting should have been credited for the list of Fossils at 88th page. Little River.-No Map has yet marked this stream correctly, and whether the engraver of the map, to accompany this work, will succeed, is yet unknown: a true delineation was furnished him. One head spring is just south of Social Circle, in Walton, another near Harris's Spring Meetinghouse, in Newton. The road from Madison to Covington crosses them. Mr. Greene's map puts Social Circle on the route between the above towns; but the road to the Circle diverges to the right, and leaves that village 10 miles N. W. The road from the Circle to Covington passes 7 or 8 miles in Newton county, via Mount Pleasant in the Grave's settlement. Over 6,000 Cherokees had reached their destination west of the Mississippi, according to Rev. Mr. McCoy's Journal, before the close of 1836. |
