1 saw the outcast—An abandoned boy,
.Whom wretchedness, debased, might call its own.—
His look \VSis wail, and his sad sunken eye.
Mute pleader—told a bosom-harrowing tule
For lie was one, unknown to foslVing care,
Which should have shielded and protected him
la childhood's daugVous hour. No father's prayer,
* Ir mid night orison, had ris’n ever,
Before the viewless throne, to fall again
In blessings on the lad. No mother s te;>r "
Had dropt in secret for the waud’rer. He,
Dejected, stood before me, and me thought
I’e’semhled much a flower, a ruined flower.
Bui lovely once, and might have bourgeon'd gaily,
Had not adver.-icy’s dread simoom pass’d,
And blighted all its sweets. The Duds of hope
lllrom'd bn—but not for him. The morning sun
{■'hone gladly out—but to him was dark.
His soiu was in eclipse,—the energies
Os mind, lay dormant, wlth'ring in their prime.

IVwpjndingly, irresolute his pace,

T or him*, —Imply its frigid boon were much,
To yield thesufTVer misery’s slicit'ring grave.
/ I saw the outcast j—but to fancy’s view
MelhoUght a vision, fair and bright, appeared.
So chang’d, I mus’d—but the intelligence
Darting in lustre from his mild (\dl eye
Assur’d my throbbing heart 'twas he indeed.
Gone was the sa low nue, the sombre cast
Os Wretchedness, and in its stead, the glow
Os cheerfulness shone out. His parting lip
Disclos’d the suyle, content delights to wear,
W.’.enueace within sits revelling. His step erect,
Told ot a heart at pence.—He walk’d in the beauty

To the Honorable the President anti-Mem •
ben of ike Semite, and the Speaker of
the House of RepresenlaUris, of the
Stale of Soultt-Ccholina.
THE Memorial of Henry Shultz,
most respectfully sheweth, That he
once more ventures to solicit the at
tention of the members of your hon
orable bodies, to the town of Ham
burg, on Savannah river, opposite
Augusta, on the South-Carolina side.
Your memoralist would not have the
boldness to solicit this attention, were
it not in his power by reference to his
memorial of last year to your hon
orable bodies, and the various facts
therein stated, to prove incontestibly,
that his promises and assurances
therein given, which elicited that
liberality and munificence, so char
acteristic of the elevated spirit of S.
Carolina then displayed to him, were
performed and fulfilled, and indeed
more than realized, in every impor
tant particular; and to this memorial,
and these assurances, he begs leave
the more confidently and particularly
to refer, that by a comparison of the
then situation of Hamburg, with its
, present slate, it may be distinctly
seen whether or not your memorialist
This afforded those practical evidences
of a faithful stewardship, which ought
to entitle him to your further confi
dence and liberality. Your memori
alist, begs leave briefly to state that
the frame of the first house in Ham
burg, was raised on the 2nd of July,
If 21; that so striking were its su
perior advantages in trade, in secur
ing to this state, all the benefits of the
commerce arising from its own pro
ductions, that at the last session of
your honorrble bodies it had but 8-1
houses, it now has between 135 and
140 ;• it then had one large ware
house, it has now two: it had then
but a few families permanently settled ■
in it, it has now 70; it had then about
2tH) inhabitants, it has now upwards |
of 400; it had then but about 20
stores, many of them small, it has ,
now 35 ; and many of them, bottom (
ed on solid capital,' it then had no
market or market-house, and no print- |
mg press, it has now both, being re- .
spec table establishments, and a news
paper will be issued from the latter ,
this week ; it then w’as dependant on j
other sources for brick, it has now a <
yard from which 200,000 bricks have (
been made this year, aiufofa most ,
e*.-i%it quality. Last year the ,
houses which rented for |ioo to
,$l2O, are now rented for S3OO, anti I
so much in demand, that a sufficient ■
number cannot be furnished. Last i
season there were purchased and re
ceived in the Hamburg ware-house
17,896 bags of cotton, as much of
which was carried to Charleston as
the boat could possibly convey this
season, within little more than one
month, although from low prices and
other causes, cotton was slow in com
ing into market, there have been re
ceived 5,980 bags, and from a rea
sonable estimate, your memoralist
has no hesitation in stating, that he
will receive from 30 to 35,000 bags,
all of which would unquestionably
have gone, or go to Georgia, were it
not for the deposite in this town, but
i which will now all go to Charleston,
jif boats can be procured to carry
| them together with a considerable
| quantity of tobacco, Hour and other
articles. Last year your memoralist
■ only promised, contrary to the opin
■ ions of many intelligent men* that a
steam boat could navigate the waters
from Hamburg 4o Charleston, and
that atrip could be mqde to Charles
ton in G days, and back to Hamburg
j in 8 mor»- which your memoralist
. ■ stood pitcgcd to perform, provided
;, your honorable body would loan him
the money to purchase the steam
bout. You did so, and since Feb
ruary last, he has made eleven suc
-1 cessful trips from Hamburg to
Charleston, and back again, in con
siderable less time, always having
had offered to him two or three times
as much freight as he could carry or
bring back, except for a short time
when the river wa? very low.
Your memorialist further states,
that Hamburg has proved to be as
healthy as Augdsta. That it affords
excellent water in almost every direc
tion from springs and wells already
in use. The streets of the upper
town are lined with. shade trees,
which have been planted out and are
living, and your memorialist has
made arrangements for procuring a
first jgte fire engine, with hose, which
will reach from the river to the houses.
Indeed so rapid has been the increase
of trade, and in ad vantages which are
continually developing themselves,
that he verily believes the capital of
the town, since he last had the honor
of addressing your honorable bodies,
has multiplied ten-folJ. Your me
morialist further states, that cotton to
the amount of from 4000 to 5000
bags per annum, besides other pro
duce, are sent to G eorgia for a market,
partly for the want of a bridge over
Stephens’ creek, about twelve miles
anove Hamburg, which cotton and
odier produce, would unquestionably
be sent to Hamburg, but for the im
possibility of now passing this large
anil rapid stream. Your memorialist
further states, that cotton shipped to
Savannah and then to Charleston
from Hambitrg or Augusta, will cost
two dollars and ninety cents per bag.
He can carry it for one dollar and
fifty cents, and if the inland naviga
tion, between Charleston and Savan
nah was improved, as it might
be, with the most perfect certain
ty, and which your memorialist
pledges himself to do with an ap
propriation of only $20,000, he ven
tures to say that the trade to Charles
ton, would be greatly increased, not
alone from Hamburg, but also from
Augusta and Savannah. He refers
to the improvement of the navigation
as it regards the' impediments at
Wappoo Cut, New Cut, Bull’s Cut
and Wall s Cut. The sum taken for
such a certain and practicable work,
your memoralist must be permitted
to say, dwindles into insignificance
compared to the importance of the
object. As these improvements have
been in part submitted to the City
Council of Charleston by your me
morialist, he begs leave particularly
to refer your honorable bodies to that
memorial and the proceedings bad
tbeteon by the said Council, in which
they unequivocally approved of the
views taken by your memorialist,
(copies of which accompany this me
morial.) Another object to which
yoi/r memoralist begs leave strongly
to direct the attention of your hqno
rable bodies is the establishment of,a
Branch of the Bank of the state of
South-Carolina, at Hamburg, or if
this be found impracticable* to pass
an act incorporating a Banking Com
pany there, in which the state may,
or may not be interested according
to its views or policy. Your memo
rialist has .always been of opinion,
• and with due deference submits his
opinion to your more enlightened
members, that the great use of all
Banks is to afford safely and tacilities
to commerce, and if ever this object
was important, it is so now to this
rising town, whose whole and entire
existence depends 911 commerce.—
Why will your honorable bodies suf
fer the paper of the Georgia Batiks,
alnjpst to inundate all the middle and
south-western districts of South-Ca
rolina, when the establishment of
such a Bank at Hamburg, us is pray
ed for, would give a circulating me
dimn of our own, of greater and more
permanent value, and when the com- 1
merce and interest of this place will 1
be in various ways inconceivably 1
benefitted by such an institution
which will give that advantage" to
the citizens of your own state, which
is now enjoyed’ by those of another. ?
The views df your memorialist in
the rise of Hamburg, issuing in the
permanent advantages of South-Caro
lina, had been greatly advanced by
the loan so munificiently granted byj
your honorable bodies at ybur last.
sitting, and he trusts that the state is
amply secured for the performance o(
his promises in every way, as it re
lates to that loan ; but as “ Home was
not built in a day,” and as it is a mat
ter of no trifling difficulty for an indi
vidual, commencing with a small ca
pital, to sustain the mighty weight of
rearing a town which he humbly
trusts is now shedding and will more
and more continue to shed its distin
guished advantages on our own state;
which must in the nature of things,
“grow with our growth, and strength
en with our strength,’" he trusts and
i prays, that you would grant him the
i further loan of 115,000 upon ample
1 security, which he greatly needs, and
■ which he will stand pledged faithfully
; to appropriate in part for the ctyu
t pletiun of another steam-boat, {or*. y,
I more effectually draining - tire Jow
i grounds surrounding a part ot Ham
i burg, for the purpose of purchasing a
■ fire-engine, and paying for the danw
• age done to individuals by opening
> ryads necessary for the interests of
- the town, &c.
I He also prays your honorable bo
-5 dies to appropriate $•;'), 01)0 for build
r ing a bridge over Stephens’ creek,
i and also $20,000 for lire improve
ment of the navigation between
Charleston and Savannah.
’ That you would also establish ci
ther a branch of the State or some
( other bank in Hamburg, as before ex
, plained.
r That you would grant ycur memo
rialist leave to open two lands, the
II one in a more direct way from, the
( j town to captain L 5. Mims’ on the main
t Columbia road ; the other frmn Ham

direct and best way to intersect the
, main roads to Charleston mid Pnrys
’ burgli, upon paying the dam jge done
" to individuals by opening sa d roads,
j- to be ascertained by commissioners
r to be appointed for the purpose.
That your honorable bodies would
1 grant leave to the commissioners who
( were appointed to approve of the se
j curity to be given by your ■nerncrial
ists for the payment of the loan of
$50,000 granted him at last session,
’ to receive the bonds and monies for

, A FAMILY SCENE.
5 M Just us the twig is bont the tree’s inclin'd.”
i A Father, while attempting to pun
t ish a disobedient and refractory son,
t was thus the lad: “ Dad
• dy,” says he, (pointing to a sturdy
, oak that grew near tire house,) “ look
I to yonder tree, and receive instruc
■ tion. Once it was a tender twig, ca
■ pable ot being bent according to the
■ will ol its owner. Now it has be
come so firmly rooted and stocked,
• as to defy the comparatively nerve
less arm of man to move or shake it.”
I rom this we would infer that the
will ot a child is much more easily
broken and properly subdued, in its
infancy', titan when it is confirmed in.
vicious habits. It is for the want of
early discipline, and a uniform go
vernment, that children prove'so
troublesome and refractory. To sub
stantiate this idea, permit me to re
cord a circumstance which has fdlen
under the writer’s notice. I happen
ed not long since, to call at a certain
neighbor’s for the purpose of friendly
conversation; when on a sudden,
hall a dozen boys and girls rushed in
to the room, and with a boisterous
, sound ol words and loud laughter,
contused and almost drowned our
conversation. The farmer reddened
with seeming resentment, and said in
a soft tone, “ don't, my children be
so noisy.” He might as well have
been silent; for they had been too
long acquainted with Isis irresolution
and unsteady government, to pay
the least attention to what was said.
They continued their noise, till one a !
little out of breath, drew off from the j
rest to listen to a story his father was I
relating. Presently he bawled out
you dont tell the story
right. “ But do you not know, mv
son, it is not good manners to inter
rupt your father, when talking?”
“ Hut 1 vow, father, you dont lctl°the
story as I heard it.” His father was
silent j and his son \yeat on with the
story ; the old man was as tame as a
whipped spaniel till it was finished.
He then said, “come my son, fetch
some wood and put it on the fire.” “ 1 ,
tjim’t; let Sam go; great lazy lout, I
iLjf hikn’l ’done nothing to-day.” J
y Yes I have done more than you j
stave, too; you may go, father told
(you first.” ’ “ Don’t say so, Sammy

' act worst than ever I knew them to

1 These, said Ito myself, as I de
" parted from the house, are the effects
of indulgence, and a slack unsteady
government. This conclusion was
’ confirmed by afn lend I met, who was
s well acquainted with their mode of
family government. He informed
me, that when his neighbor threat
-1 cned to punish his children, he sel
dom kept his word, or if he attempf
' ed it, it was when they least deserved
it; or his wife would interfere and
> rescue them out of his hands. She
1 rarely allowed him to punish, and as
for herself, she usually began with the
~ rod, and ended by , giving sugar or
pic to appease their almost incessant
hawlings. What the father denied,
’ the mother gave, and thus destroyed
the face of their authority. Stop
1 reader! (if you are the parent of
children) and compare the Conduct of
yourself and yours with the before
mentioned. Do you not threaten and
"I threaten your children, and promise
1 to punish them for transgressions,
and habitually break your word ? and
f in consequence of this, arp not your
commands violated with impunity,
your troubles increased, and your
children strengihenon in disobedi
ence ? or when you do fulfil your
promise, do you not completely de
stroy its effects by giving sugar and
pie to stop its crying ? If in any of
these respects you find yourself im
plicated, let me beseech you to com
, niencc a reformation. Do not de
- sttoy your children by indulgence,—
' j Begin this very hour a now course,
k i and its happy effects will not only be
-1 realized by you, but your children
- will reap lasting benefits therefrom,
- ntul perhaps through this instrumen
■ tidily, will escape destruction, and be
> made partakers of eternal life.
