The following excellent parody on “ Though
hove is warm awhile ” is from a satirical poem
which lately made its appearance in New-York
tailed “An excursion of the Dog Cart,” li\ an
imprisoned debtor, from the pen of CROAKER,
as the Editor of the Stateman avers,
Though soup is warm awhile,
Soon if grows cold;
Keeping will make it spoil,
When it grows old.
Richest of food and wine,
With Freeedom once were mine;
Rut now in jail I pine,
When poor and old.
O who can patient prove,
Thus pressed by care!
Can those who freedom love,
Confinement bear ?
O it is hard to be;
Shut up to starve, like me,
ilnl since ’tis fate’a decree,
Welcome despa r!

SAVANNAi |, April, 22, 1822.
To John P. VTluampsox, Esk..
Chairman us the Hoard of Commissioners of
Health and Dry Culture.
Incompliance with a resolution passed by
tiie honorable the Mayor and Aldermen of
tiie city of Savannah, requiring an immedi
ate inspection of plantations subject to the
.fry culture contract, and a report on the
Mine on the 22d inst. the day fixed for Ihe
meeting of your honorable board, your de
,puty agent from the shortness of time, and
excessive rains, lias Only been able to take
a view of the following plantations. He has
carefully inspected the same and reports as
follows;-—On the’inspection of Mr. Joseph
Sides’ plantation commencing on the Au
gusta road, at Musgrovc Creek, he found the
cultivated part of the plantation on the
south west side of Musgrove Crtek, above
the Saw Mill planted in corn, tiie surface
very wet and part of it boggy, ow ing to tho
ditches being too small and shallow. lie
found all Ihe gates of the small trunks,
drawn up, apparently drawn on the mor-i
ning of his inspection; the dams very low
and fa! 1 on each vide; on the top of the!
bank leading down Musgrove’a Creek to the,
oUI Saw Mill,he found the weeds and bush-j
es chopped down and the small breaks in
T ;ese (lams partially mended, but not suffi
cient to repel spring tide. In the unculti
vated part above Mr. Stiles’ causeway, he
found many places where the tide washed
or ran over the banks, the banks had been
broken in several places, and Mr. Stiles’
Lands were at that time stopping them.—
The ditches were vfcry s.nall and shallow,
and the sm face of the land very boggy, the
trunks foul, small anil in very bad order,
and should that part us the plantation not
be placed in better order than it is at tins
time, it is (he Opinion of your deputy agent
it vyitl be very injurious, to the health of
the city. Part of these uncultivated lands;
are kept for a pasture for cattle and hors-j
es, and on that part, there is little or noth*]
•iitg done. !
No part of this plantation above the Saw|
Mil* on Musgrove Creek, can in his judge-j
meat be considered in a state of ihy cul
t ire, and very heavy rains and high titles will
mat e it much wor„e without immediate at
t,.niton. On taking a view of the part of:
the plantation between tlie old Saw Mill |
ami old Rice Barn, he found it planted in
cotton and the surface of the land as dry
as the wet weather would admit; the ditch
es foul and wanted much work. There was
much water about the Saw Mill, which if
not let off, will become stagnant and in
warm weather produce disease. This can
be effected with a little labour the dams are
very flat and foul, and require considerable
to get them in order, to repel the
hioh spring tide. The uncultivated aquares
supposed to contain sistv acres, bounded
by Savannah river and Musgrove's Creek,
be found in a very |>ad state, he could not
examine the river bank in any other way
turn by taking an inside dstn to the rive*-,
advanced up the rivers dam a short dis
tance. to his great surprise lie found a break
in the river dans, he supposes to be at least;
70 fvet wide, ihrou. h which the tide ebbs $’
llowhjhc could not proceed further up ini
I consequent of this large break arid could
he have pajSetl that place, lie was informed
there wasiseveral more small ones which
would intfrupthis progress. lie could not
proceed ay further up on this dam in con
sequenceof the vast quantity of briars,
canes an'scrubs that were growing on the
river bail. He then turned his course to
take a v(w of the lower end of the river
dam, am found several places where the
title wasjed over the bank, one of those
places bp been raised, but not sufficiently
high to l>ep out the tides—in attempting
to procejd down he found it impossible in
conseqnjnce of the matted growth of bri
ars and lushes of every description; he was
also interned that there were many small
breaks p that part of the dam leading down
the rivejto Musgrove’.s Creek, nearTwigg’s
wharf lit. This part of the land is under
no kindiif cultivation and the title ebbs and
flows o*r it; the ditches in as bad order as
might le expected and nothing done to
them, she surface is very wet anti boggy,
and no ranks whatever in this part. His
not haing the names of the different
squares causes him to designate the plan
tation i this way. Tire twenty acres lying
west of the city formerly occupied and
leaded I ’ George Miller, and contracted
for by Vm. Scarbrough as trustee fora
compart, seems much neglected. The
bank bo ruled by Musgrove’s Creek, is ve
ry rnun exposed to the back water and
tide. Nothing appears to have been done
i there ti s season. The ditches are very
‘foul ant) filled up in consequence of stocks
, |of all kikds being suffered to leed thereon.
|The suntans very wet.
I The ilitward dam at Doctor Bayard’s
plairfatim on the margin of the back river,
he endeavored to examine, but could no;
satisfy hfttself as to its real condition, ow
ing to thj extensive growth of canes, bri
ers, and throbs which have taken posses
sion, and render it impassable—with some
difficulty he passed some distance on the
inside margin, audconluded from its mois
ture and the frequent leaks lie observed
that all those parts hid from his view most
want repiirs—he discovered several pla
ces where the water tan over the darn
which he considered dangerous and requir
es immediate attention. In the hack river
bank he found one large trunk but no gate
to prevent the ebbing and flowing of the
tide. In progressing round he saw seve
ral old trunks, but no gales to any of them.
The ditches vety foul. The river bank
of the square next to Mcssman, and lying
in the south east corner of tins plantation
he wished to examine, but found italso in
accessible from the growth of canes, &c.
The plantation seems entirely neglected,
there is no person living on it. Three
squares appear to have been in a gulden
and corn last season, and appear to be
dry. The trunks are in bad order, ditches
foul and want veht. The remainder lying
fallow, and the suiface only dry in the
high parts. Should the banks and ditches
of this plantation remain unattended
during the ensuing summer months, the
rapid growth on this tract will preclude a
farther inspection of the most material
parts.
Respectfully,
IUCHAIID ROWELL, n. i. and. cl
Savannah, April £.7, 1822.
From tue same to the same.
On taking a view ot the plantation, be
longing to the estate of Ganeral James
Jackson, now occupied by James llurrfor,
ihe fount! the banks in tolerable good order,
but grown up with thick growth of weeds ;
j the trunks few, hut in good order. The
ditches very foul and much filled up and
I want vent.’ Four squares, are plantrd in
cotton and two in corn. One of the
squares planted in cotton, nearest to the
settlement wet, owing to the ditches being
too shallow and foul. Oo the square op
posite the settlement, there appears to be
little or nothing done this season. The
other five squared arc dry ; the ditches and
dams of this plantation! are foul, but the
manager promised me to have them attend
ed to immediately after he had finished;
planting. The canal of this plantation
ought to be dug at least two feet deeper so
as to take the surplus water two feet from
:he ditches and the upper part of the
plantation. The land formerly occupied
by VV. C Wayne, adjoining Dr. Haig and
jibe estate of Gen. James Jackson, seetns
entirely sbandoned. The plantation of
jjames Bilbo, he tounil seven squares cul
jtivated, three planted in corn and four in
icottnn. The surface of the land dry, the
outward bank sound trunks in tolerable good
oitler. The dams very weedy, and hands
cleaning them. The ditches foul and want
considerable vent. The manager of this
(plantation promised to keep hands at work
|on the dams until he gets them all in good
order, and so soon as he has finished plan
ting the crop, the ditches should be atten
ded to. In justice to Mr. Bibo, except the
foulness of the dams and ditches, this plan
tation is in good ordei.
Kbeneier Jackson’s plantation he found
the trunks in good order the dams over
grown with weeds, the ditches foul, but
orherwise in good order. Eighty acres im-
proved, and the manager promised to have
the ditches and banks all hoed and cleaned
out as soon as possible. The surface of
this plantation is dry. The upper part of
Win. .Mein’s plantation, formerly called
Mosstnan’s, he found two hundred acres in
.cotton; forty in corn, and eighteen in rice
He found the surface dry, but the ditches
fuul, the banks weedy. The trunks of this
jpaitof the plantation in good order. The
(lower part of the plantation called Delay’s
Point, be found in bad order. On the back
river dam he saw several places, where the
tide run over the dam, inconsequence of
the bank being tread down by the stock of
the plantation. The trunks are in bad or
der, he found three with no gates to them,
the tide ebbed and flowed through them and
kept the surface very wet. The manager
of this plantation informed him that lie
did not know that the partcalled Belay’s
Point was included in the contract, as lie
had not long been on the place, and that
he would put bands immetiialy to repair
the dams and trunks, and have the ditches
and darns in good order. From exertions
he saw making lie believes that the whole
es this plantation will he very shortly in
the order that is required.
