awe are sorry to learn, says the Tennes-
see Clarion of the 22d ult that the Georgia
troops are remaining at their former camp
lit is said Georgia is at this time unfor
tunately divided into factions, and nothing
can or will be DONE"

Georgia is divided into factions. Party
spirit is less virulent in cur state at this time
thaa it has been for ten or Fl cen years
past. The people are very generally unit

British and their Indian allies. The citizens
of no state suffrr greater privations from
the interruption of intercourse with their
sister states and with Europe--none com
plain less
That the achievements Of our army have
mt been so great IS Could have been 6eslr-
ed, may be attribu' ed TO other causes than
those assigned by the Editor of the Clarion.

Aptossee and Tailassee towns, and Of q con-
Siderable namber of their warriors, thev
have built line CT forts extending some
distance be9ond the ChAtahoochie, and 4

our frontier 10 he Tombigby, and thereby
open the communication between this state
and the Mississippi Territory.
