Chattanooga
a Georgia Town
The
Chattanooga papers are discussing
the question, whether their town belongs to Georgia or Tennessee.
The
Representatives
says it is a matter
of controversy among old
citizens, whether
the territory
on which it stands is rightfully the property of the State that claims and holds
it or not,
and that a determination
exists with many to investigate and settle the question.
They contend that the
Tennessee River is the proper line between the two States, from the mouth, of Chickamauga Creek, six
miles above the city, to the mouth of Nick jack Cave, forty miles below, by
water.
The
Representative
insist that it
is naturally, if not legally, the proper
boundary and says a
large number of the
citizens are for annexation to the State of Georgia, with which she
is wholly identified in
sympathy, topography
and trade.
