vile, 21st March, was received by a
gentleman in this city. 10 whom we
are indebted for the important informa.
ton which il diseloses. The crisis then
has arrived. The refusal Of Judge
Dougherty, to carry the mandate Of the
Supreme Court into effect, places Geor-
| GA IN the attitude Of resistance to the
Federal judiciary. Il snust have been
anticipated, add therefore our people
are prepared to meetit. We now look
Tor uiterior measures. II says, "There
IS great excitement in the State, 10 re-
gard 70 the decision Of the Supreme
Court in the Missionary case. Our
people in this section, and from this
in every direction, are unanimous, /
believe, in the determination that the
Missionaries shall not be discharged.
Gwinnett Court was held last week,
at which time and place the Mandate
lef the Supreme Court was presented.
Judge Dougherty refused to yield obe-
Idienee TO its terms. The messenger
left forthwith for Washington. where
ne arrived about yesterday. His hurry
was to return in time to present the
refusal before the Supreme Court
should adjourn, 10 obtain an order
awarding execution Of judgment direct.
The order TO execute the decree will.
OF course, be directed 10 the Marshal.
The counties round about here sav.
that they will, If necessary, shoulder
their muskets and march to the Peni.
Tertiary to guard and prevent the Mis-
s'onaries from being discharged"
