 We nave lately seen tine manuscript of map of the northern part of inc State of Mississippi, said to have been drawn by an able mathematician of that state, in which he places our town south of the parallel of 8 deg. and complete ly within the boundary of Mississippi The author of the manuscript, we iraa- zine, is not aware that the latitude of this place was taken by Mir. Ellicot, when on his way to ascertain the boun- dary, between the United States and Florida. Mir. Ellicot was acting under the authorities of the Union, and was directed particularly, to ascertain the fact, that il might settle q point in con-. trosersy, with the Srafiiartis. The in- struments, with which the observations were taken, are said to have been the finest in America; and the latitude is set down in his journal at B deg. 07 min. N.
