BOUSZ OF COMMONS,
' November 21. -
The following Mcffage was receive! from
the Governor, by Mr. 1. W. Guion,
Ms Secretary,: '
To the Honorable the General Assembly of
North-Carolina, "
GENTLRBIIf,
BEFORE 1 proceed to lay before you
the feveral fubjeels which I have it in con
temptation to communicate, permit me to
congratulate you, as a Body of AgricuL
turHis corning from all parts of the Stare,
that notwhhlfartdjng the excc(fiv and a
larming' drought which we experienced
"dutirijtW. litter part of the palt fu miner,
our crops, though, comparatively iighr,
will be found fuffi;ient, if ufed wjth ceco
riomy, to furnilh a comfortable lupport
for the people at b'rge ; and though jhe
encreafed, price of the necetlaries of lile
may fall heavy upon a tew, that gsncral
diftrefs, which at one 'period' was appre.
Jierjded, will riot, truif he felt.
In purfuance ot t!?e direction bf the laft
General AHembly, i tranfmltted on the
1 8th December bit, to his Excellency the
Governor of South-Carolina, a copy of
the at juft then parted, .entitled " An act
appointing Commiffionera to extend the
1 Boundary Line of this Hate and the Stare
of South-Carolina," the receipt of which
was acknowledged by him the 17th March
following ; when it appeared that my com
munication was not received until after
the LeiQiture of South-Carolina had ri
fen. -. J ft this letter his Excellency Hates
his intention ot hying our aft before their
Legilhttire at their extra, (eflion to be held
in May t but not having been favored viih
any communication from him liuce, it is
pre fumed that tbs Legiflature did not ad
on this iuhjeel at (hit fclfion. :
Soon after our laft General AfTembly
rofe, I recrived a letter froin his Excel
lency the Governor of.Gcorgia, endofing
an extract of an Art parted by the Legifla
iiireofxibai State on tb-if ik't December
afl, nukiirg provifion for the" afcertain
ihg, running, an J marking the Bonn iary
' Line between Georgia and North-Caro
Una. It appears that bf the convention
" entered into bet weenihe IX'iiie i States
and the State of Georgia, on the 34th A
pril, i862,'ihat that part of the territory,
ceded by South-Carolina, to the General
Government, which lies well of the Blue
Ridge of M-i iutns, and iouth of the
fotifhcin b'iiniirics of frorth Carolina
and Tcanciic:, was edcl to the State of
Georgia. It u pre fJmed this clrcum
ilance was ncM adveiifid ro by the General
AttijrriMy 01 thts iute when the above ad
wat pa'lud ; and had the LeglfUture of
South-Carolina, at their M ty feifion, have
, taken up the fubjef) and ma le provifions
for co-operating with our CommitHoneri,
aJ the Boundary Line between thb State
tnd Sinth-Carolini, had been fettled as
far at her limits extend, I lhoulJ have

the C" nmilfi'r?ri which might havebten
appointed for the purpf bv the State of
