Commissioners met on Tuesday last, at which
time only two licenses were applied for and
prau-ed Now. the law does not allow these
Licenses TO be dated b ck to cover back sales,

was tied uD at the wharf in Hawkinsville last
week and we learn that Mr.. Simon Merritt, OF
Uhis place. has been commissioned 10 take
charEe of the beat and carry on the work of
the government in dredging the channel and
putting the strram in navigable condition The
appropriation by Congress Is said 70 be sufh-
cieut 10 carry on the work for the present year.
Mr. Merrirt-s commission is cf the rank Of Cap

quaiutanCe with the beating business on the
Ucmulgee for many years past, renders
him fully cap able OF looking after the work.
ana we Z not think a better selection could
have been made by the government.
