May 3.—7—»6t. « For Sale, ^ T the Cabinet Ware-House of the subscriber, From the Backwoodsman It is now ono hundred and two years, sinco the first English settlers, landed and sat down among the primitive forests of Georgia. The following ex. tract from Hale’s History of the United States, though very much generalized and condensed, may not bo unacceptable to our readers; it may prove to have beon as worthy of a column or two, as many an ar ticle dealing in contemporaneous events and specu lations; although it merely reaches back through col onial retrospects and struggles. Every citizen should have some knowledge, at least of the history of his own State. It will certainly yield a very lively plea sure to compare the handful of discouraged and dwin. died settlers, and the' scanty patches of cultivated soil of those days, with tho present wide spread ex. tent and multiplied and still increasing population. From the sea to the mountains and beyond; from the Savannah river to the Cbattahoocbie, Georgia smiles over as fertile soil and as abundant natural re sources, as bless the most favoured regions, and glows and prospers beneath as fine a climate as hap- pifics any portion of the globe; amid scenes of pecu liar loveliness and captivation; at least to us. With her limits now fixed and her boundaries extended to their farthest and permanent poiuL a theatre promi sing and tempting as any, is presented to genius; in dustry and enterprize. Her march to wealth is siif- ficiently obvious : may that to moral distinction, sci entific advancement, and literaiy amelioration be sure and glorious! May she continue to fulfil her destinies by noble efforts and with commanding char acter { Apiopos, how commendable would it bo if somo gifted Eon of tho soil, would give us au cle. gant and aklo History of the State ? Call’s isolated and imperfect attempt, cannot certainly supersede the effort or discourage competition. We should like to know, in what results tho late Mr. Bovan’s la bours terminated; who it may be remembered was appointed to collect from England, materials and papers, connected with the authentic early History of this State 7 At the untimely decease of that ingen ious and respectable gentleman, was the enterprize of preparing for an able History of the State aban doned ; and is there no likelihood of looking out among the genius and abilities of the country for a competent successor 7 GEORGIA. Upon the southern part of the territory in cluded in the Carolina charter, no settlement was made, until several years after that char acter was forfeited. In June, 1732, several benevolent gentlemen, in England, concerted a project for planting a colony in that unoccu pied region. Their principal object was to relieve, by transporting thither, the indigent subjects of Great Britain; but their plan of benevolence embraced also ti e persecuted protestants of all nations. To a project springing from motives so no ble and disinterested, the people and the go vernment extended their encouragment and patronage. A patent was granted by the king, conveying to twenty-one trustees the- territory now constituting the state of Gbob- gia, which was to be apportioned gratuitous ly among the settlers; and liberal donations were made by the charitable, to defray the expense of transporting them across the At lantic, and of providing for their support the first season. The concerns of the colony were managed by the trustees, who freely devoted much of their time to the undertaking. Among other regulations, they provided, that the lands should not be sold nor devised by the owners; but should descend to the male children only; they forbade the use of rum in tho colony, and strictly prohibited the importation of ne groes. . But none of these regulations re. mained long in force. In November, 1732, one hundred and thir teen emigrants embarked for Georgia, at the head of whom the trustees bad placed James Oglethorpe, a zealous and active promoter" of •this scheme of benevolence. In Janaary, they arrived at Charleston; and ihe Carolini ans, sensible of the advantage of having very low for cash. Feb. 92—49—tf. SAMUEL FROST. barrier between them and the Indians, gave the adventurers a cordial welcome. They supplied them with provisions, and with boats to convey them to the place-of their destina- tion. Yamacraw bluff, since called- Savan nah, was selected as the most eligible place for a settlement. The next year, five or six hundred poor persons arrived, and to each a portion of the wilderness was assigned. But it was soon found that these emigrants, who were the re fuse of cities, had been rendered poor by idle ness, and irresolute by poverty, were not fit ted to fell the mighty groves of Georgia. A race more .hardy and enterprising, was ne cessary. The trustees, therefore, offered to receive also, all such as had not, by persecu tion or poverty, been rendered objectB -of compassion, and to grant to all,- who should settle in the colony, fifty acres of land. In consequence of this offor, more than four hun dred persons, from Germany, Scotland, and Switzerland, arrived in the year 1735. The Germans settled at Ebenezer, the Scotch at New-Invemess, now Darien. In 1736, John Westley, a celebrated Me thodist, made a visit to Georgia, for tho pur pose of preaching to the colonists, and con verting the Indians. He was then young and ardent, the people around him felt less ardour than himself, and his pious zeal soon brought him into collision with some of the principal settlers. He was accused of diverting the people from their labor to attend his religious meetings, and of exercising unwarranted ec clesiastical authority. Persecuted by' his en emies, and finding he could render no further service to the cause of religion in the colony, he returned to England, and there, for many years, pursued a distinguished career of piety and usefulness. Two years afterwards, George Whitfield, another and more celebrated Methodist, arri ved in the colony. He had already made himself conspicuous in England, by his nu. merous eccentricities, his ardent piety, his extraordinary eloquence, his zeal and activity in propagating his opinions. He came to Georgia for the benevolent purpose of estab lishing an orphan house, where poor, children might be fed, clothed and educated in the knowledge of Christianity. In prosecution of this purpose, he often crossed the Atlantic, and traversed Great Britain and America, so liciting aid from the pious and charitable. Wherever he went, he preached, with sin cerity and fervor, his peculiar doctrines, ma king proselytes of most who heard him, and founding a sect which has since become nu merous **k1 respectable. His orphan house, during his life, did not flourish, and after his death, was entirely abandoned. In 1740, the trustees rendered an account of their administration, At that time; two thousand four hundred and ninety-eight emi- grants had arrived in the colony. Of these, fifteen hun dred and twenty-one were indigent Englishmen, or persecuted Protestants. The benefactions, from government and from in dividuals, had been, nearly half a million of dollars; and it was computed that, for every person transported "and maintained by the trustees, more than threb hundred dollars had been expended. The hopes which the trustees had cherished, that the colony, -planted at such vast expense, would be prosperous, and the objects of their benevolence happy, were completely disap. pointed. Such was the character of the greater part of the settlers, and such the re strictions imposed, that the plantations lan guished and continued to require the contri butions of the charitable. War having been-declared against Spain, Mr. Oglethorpe was promoted to the rank of general in the British army, and at the head of two thousand men, partly from Virginia and the Carolinas, undertook an expedition against Florida. He took two Spanish forts and be sieged St. Augustine ; but encountering an ob. stinate resistance, was compelled to return un: successful to Georgia. Two years afterwards the Spaniards, in retaliation, prepared to invade Georgia; and they intended, if successful there, to subjugate the Carolinas and Virginia. On receiving in. formation of their approach, general Ogle tborpe solicited assistance from South-Caro- Kna. But the inhabitants of that colony, en tertaining a strong prejudice against him, in consequence of his lato defeat, and terrified by tho danger which threatened themselves determined to provide only for their own safety Meanwhile general Oglethorpe made pre parations for a vigorous defence. He assem bled seven hundred men exclusive of a body of Indians, fixed his head quarters at Frederi ca, on the island of St. Simon, and with this small band, determined to encounter whatever force might be brooght against him. ' It was his utmost hope that he might be able to re- sist the enemy until a reinforcement should arrive frotn Carolina, which ho daily and anx iously expected. On the last of June, the Spanish fleet, con sisting of thirty-two sail, and having on board more than three thousand men, came to an- chor off St. Simon’s bar. Notwithstanding all the resistance which general Oglethorpe could oppose, they sailed up the river Alta- maha. landed upon the island, and there erect ed fortifications. * , General Oglethorpe, convinced that bis small force, if divided, roust be entirely ineffi cient," assembled the whole of it at Frederica. One portion he employed in strengthening bis fortifications; the Highlanders and Indians, ranging night and day through tho woods, often attacked the out-posts of the enemy. The toil of the troops was incessant; and the long delay of the expected succors, so cruelly with. held by South Carolina, caused the most gloomy and depressing apprehensions. Learning that the Spanish army occupied two distinct positions, Oglethorpe conceived the project of attacking one by sunrise. He selected the bravest of his little r.rmy, and in the night marched, entirely unobserved, to within two miles of the camp which he inten ded to assail. Directing his troops to halt, he. advanced, at the head of a small body, to reconnoitre the enemy. While thus employ ed, a French soldier of his party, firing his musket, deserted to the Spaniards. Discov ery destroying all hope of success, the gen. eral immediately returned to Frederica. He was not only chagrined at this occurrence, but apprehended instant danger from the dis closure which the deserter would doubtless make of his weakness. In this embarrassment, he devised an ex pedient which was attended with the most hap- py success. He wrote a letter to the desert, er, instructing him to acquaint tho Spaniards with the defenceless state of Frederica ; to urge them to attack the place, and if he could not succeed, to persuade them to remain three days longer on the island ; for Within that time, according to late advices from Carolina, he should receive a reinforcement of two thou sand men and six ships of war. He caution, ed him against dropping any hint of the attack meditated, by admiral Vernon, upon St. Au gustine, and assured him that the reward for his services should be ample. For* a small bribe, a Soldier who had been made prisoner in'one of the numerous skir mishes, engaged to deliver this letter to the deserter, and was then set at liberty. As was foreseen he carried it directly to the Spunish General, who immediately suspected the deserter to be a spy from the English camp, and ordered him to be put in irons.— But although his suspicions were awakened, he was yet uncertain whether the whole might not be a stratagem of his antagonist. While hesitating what to believe, three small vessels of war appeared off the coast. Supposing they brought the reinforcements al luded to in the letter to the deserter, he hesi tated no longer, but determined to make a Vigorous attack upon the English before these reinforcements could arrive aud be brought into action. General Oglethorpe, by mere accident, ob. tained information of their design. A small party was instautly placed in ambuscade, the Spaniards advanced near them, halted to rest, and laid aside their arms. A sudden and well directed fire killed many, threw the ene my into confusion. After a few more dis. charges, they fied to their fortifications, which they demolished, and hastily embark- iug, made fcvery posible effort to escape from the reinforcements that were supposed to be approaching. Thus was Georgia with trifling loss, deliv ered from the most imminent danger. Gen eral Oglethorpe not only retrieved but exal- ted his reputation. From the Carolinas, grate ful for their preservation, and from the Gov- ernors of most of the northern colonics, ho re ceived cordial congratulations upon his ad- dress aud good fortune. So mortified were the Spaniards at the result of the expedition, that the commander, on his return, was ar rested, tried and cashiered for misconduct. But the prosperity of the colony was retar ded by these disturbances. For ten years This Caspar Hauser has always acted like a longer, it remained under the management of! mischievous boy, lying, lazy, and indocile, the trustees, who embarrassing it by too much Ridiculous attempts have been made to prove to assume the responsibility of expressing our own belief in the facts given below, or in the deductions drawn from them. We confide ourselves to translating a3 closely as possible a letter, written from Ansbach, tho place where Caspar Hauser died; by the Chevalier e Lang, to the editor of the Literary Ga zette, published at Leipzig. * * * Ansbach, the 3d January, 1834. living hn ou J 010 ™ that Caspar Hauser was * Jf UrW “ scho ? lma9 ‘er, under whose care he had been placed. H e returned home on tho 14th December last, towards evening, wounded in the breast, of which wound he died on the 17th of the same month According to his own saying, he had been invited by a stranger (in the midst of a vio lent tempest of wind and rain) to take a walk into tho garden of the castle, where, near tho monument erected to the memory of Tz,* this unknown person presented to him a silk purso with a letter, whilst opening which, the stran ger struck him a blow with a poignard, which wounded him in the breast. The judicial enquiry which has just taken, place, proves that all his declarations are false. Until now, no one has been able to discover the least trace of this stranger, whom Caspar describes as weariug moustach es and whiskers, tall, wrapped up in a blue mantle, and with spurs on. The witnesses examined, affirm under oath, that they saw Hauser (who in fact went out at the hour he did, contrary to the restrictions which had been imposed on him) enter, the garden of tho castle alone, and walk towards tho monu ment, without being accompanied by uny one ; they saw him afterwards return, no person pursuing him. Besides, at the place whero the monument is erected, the ground was covered with snow, and here and there the print of Hauser’s footsteps was only percepti ble. The purse which Hauser said was pre'- seated to him, was found there, but with it, n letter, the writing in which, and it is now said, the contents betraying extreme igno rance, leave the strongest reasons to pre sume, they proceeded from Hauser himself. In it, among other things, it is said they would not kill Hauser, ami that he would know.better than any one who was the stran ger, and who sent him. The wound, after scratching the pericardium, enters the stom ach, and passes through its whole length, till it is lost in the liver, which is of a larger sizu than usual, appears to show that it was in flicted by himself, and renders it improbable that it was struck by the hand of an assassin standing in front of him, who could not have given his weapon such a direction. In con sidering what could have induced Hauser to commit an act of this kind, two conjectures present themselves. It is possible that ns formerly at Nuremberg, he wanted to inter est and mystify the public, by another story of a pretended attempt at assassination, and that he had given the instrument he used a wrong direction. It is possible, too, that the re proaches of his conscience on his culpable impostures, have driven him at last to this desperate step. The examination of his corpse, which shows that his physical organ ization was perfect', also forbids the belief in his long captivity in a dungeon, deprived .of all liberty of motion. Marks of inoculation have too, been discovered on his body. What are wo to conclude from all this 7 regulation, discouraged the emigrants and checked its growth* At length, disappointed in tbeir hopes, and .wearied by complaints, they surrendered their charter to the crown, and in 1754, a royal government was estab lished over the colony. New regulations being adopted, .Georgia began to flourish. Among her - governors, James Wright deserves honorable notice for his wisdom in discerning, and his zeal in. pur suing her true interests. The cultivation of rice and indigo was prosecuted with augment ed industry, skill and profit; and in every succeeding year, an increased amount of these staple commodities was exported to the moth er couutry. The Florida Indians were some times troublesome, but were as often chastis ed and compelled to sue for peace. -* Caspar Hacsek.—While the tragic death of Caspar Hauser still excites the sympathy of every feeling mind, and the King of Ba varia is offering enormous sums for the dis- covery of his murderer—whilst the sudden fall of the curtain, on the dark drama of his life, would seem to have condemned us to, endless uncertainty as to the occult and mys terious power that tortured his existence for so many years, and at last brought it to so fatal a close, a new CEdipus starts up, and attempts to throw down the whole structure of hypothesis and brooding fancies, which the fertile imaginations of Germany have thrown around this adopted son of 'Nuremberg, aud protege of Lord Stanhope—around this Cas par Hauser, through whom philosophers flat tered themselves they might solve some of the most diflicult problems in philosophy— on whom, Doctor Fiurback has written very excellent work, which has been transla. ted'into English, republished in England and in this country- This Caspar Hauser, ac? cording to the authority in question, was, reader! originally nothing more than a Mer ry Andrew, a mountebank, a * performer of high vaulting and low vaulting, and all ft*® wonderful feats, by which the gaping crowd in Europe aro amused at their public tairs and their public places. Far bo it fro® us that he is the last shoot of the elder branch, now extinct, of the Counts of Tattenbacb; then, again, that he was a son of the Grand Duchess Stephaine, from whom be was taken away by stealth, she being assured that tho child of which site had been delivered, was dead. It is thun that his stupidity has been worked upon, and his imagination perverted, by forcing him to believe that be was tho son of a prince., or at least of a count. Ac cording to my belief, it is very probable that this phenomenon is no ono else than tho Merry Andrew of some of those troops of mendicants which alxmnd in Lower Bavaria, and that his parents had taken him with them on a pilgrimage to Alten-Ettengen, where he was to exhibit himself at one time as a cripple, at another as a simpleton; then, when a wager had been made, be was to surprise the public by marks of good sense, or some other unexpected talent, such as, for instance, the crippled leaping with agility on a horse, and then managing the animal like a good rider. In support of this opinion, are the facts of his first appearance at Nurem berg in the garb of a mendicant, his vulgar dialect, common in those parts of Bavaria ; the rosary he t ad about him, with the pray* ers printed and addressed to our Lady of AL ten-Ettengen; then, again, his dexterity fa riding, which immediately struck the good citizens of Nuremberg. And I concludu that Caspar Hauser left his troupe of Bava rian mendicantu and began to practice at Nu- remberg, on hiu own account, hts talents tor deception and oiysiifiMh®®* I authorize you, sir, to make such use of tkjp letter aa you may think proper, and to publish ttwtfo or without my signature. - * A lyric poet born at Anatagb in 1720. died is 1796.
