In a preceding column Of this paper, will
be found two letters from Mr.. Barbour, Ssc-
rotary at War; one addressed to Governor
Troup of Georgia, and the other to General
Gaines, relative to the Greek lands. IT will
be seen that the President, through the Sec
retary, has forbid the Governors entering
upon the lands for the purpose of making a
survey, before September, 1926, and au-
thorises Gen. Gaines, in case Gov. Iroup
should persist in his determination, to EN-
ploy the military against him. This business
has arrived at an awful crisis, through the
perverscness and obstinacy Of a hothcaded
demagogue; out he will find the executive
made OF stuff too stern to give way, or even
to be alarmed at his gasconading. Although
the Governor has declared that cost what
it may" he would effect his purpose, yet
when he views the firm position assumed
by the General Government, in opposition
to his designs, he will relinquish the attemp
and mantle himself with the comfortable re
Election, that it would be better to save th'
cost and let the arms alonc-he may thel
address his courtiers and parasites in Ian
guage little different from Canute's, "thu

An,o of co,nbustibes had been raised on this

neonle of Concord are at variance where
,h;s monument should be placed, or whcth-
er il should be placed at all; and, after vari'
ous disputes and arguments on the SUBJECT,
tbcv came to the conclusion that "medla

in the middle of the road, near the town

of Ai,ril last. A short time since monu-
,nent was raised about this corner stone con-
sisting of barrels, kegs, and candle boxes,
surmountcd by jug of rum, the whole beng
about fifteen or twenty feet high. This
monumental pile was set fire to on the night
after its erection, and, Notwithstanding ITS
proximity to the town pump, 1t was suffered
to burn down in silence. We we're tempted
to deny this account, and set it down as the
fabrication of some industrious wag, but
found it fully corroborated by the assertions
of respectable men in the neighbourhood.
