TUESDAY FEBRUARY, G, 1827.
THE NEXT LAND LOTTERY.
Having been often solicited, the Editors of
the Georgia Statesman have finally determined
to publish the official List of Fortunate Draw
ers in the approaching Land Lottery, provid
ed 150 Subscribers shall forward us their
names on or before the expiration of the first
Weeks Drawing, or the first day of March
now ensuing. We "nderstand that many,
for the purpose of getting an official list of the
whole Oruvingfhave associated themselves in
.companies of from 4 to 8 or 10, and will thus
enjoy in it the right of perusal collectively.
The plan is a good one in general, and if the
owners are neighborly, it may answer every
purpose of individual possession. The List
will be printed weekly, on an imperial octavo
form, and sent to subscribers with scrupulous
regularity, until the completion of the Draw
ing; and if any Numbers are lost by mail or
the way of conveyance, such Numbers to be
made good without an additional charge.
{Cy* TERMS:—To Subscribers of the
Georgia Statesman, $2,00 in advance.
To Non Subscribers, $3,00 in advance.
In no case will the List be sent before the
money is paid.
'ey* Editors of Papers in this State who
will give the above two or three insertions,
Shall be intitled to a copy.
Jtfajw of Lottery Lands. —From what we
hive had an opportunity to learn on this sub
ject, we would take to ourselves the liberty of
observing, that to every individual concerned
in the New Treaty Territory, these Maps of
-;&c Surveyor General will be as interesting as
any thing of this kind can be. We had an
opportunity to examine the drawings and de
sign of the original copy, before it was sent
to the Engraver’s, and we have no hesitation
in saying, that if it is faithfully ex- cuted, it
will be the most accurate, as well as the most
papular thing which lias ever been got up for
(he geographical delineation of any portion of
the State.
If it answer expectation we need not wish it
what we could notj hinder, very general suc
cess.
From the Augusta Chronicle.
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
Free Trade and Merchants Rights.
From the publications of Mr. Shultz, which
have, for some time past, occasionally appear
ed in the public prints, it has no doubt been
anticipated by many, that it is his intention
to carry the trade of Hamburg back to
Savannah, as a means of retaliation upon
he Legislature of South Carolina, for the in
gratitude which be seems to think has been
t xcrclsed towards him by that body. The
•.oases which have led to this apparent im
pression are already before the public, and
at present we have not room for comments
'upon them ; our present object being merely
to state some information in accordance
with these expectations, derived from e
meeting held by *hc citizens of Hamburg, on
the 29th inst. as communicated to us by a
gentleman who was present.
The meeting was called at the instance of
Mr. Shnltz, who rose to explain its object.—
And after discussing, at some length, the
'’lnims of Charleston and Savannah upon the
'rade of Hamburg, and its vicinity, it was
unanimously
“ Resolved, That the citizens of Hamburg,
h’. C. have not £it>en their indentures to the
State of South Carolina, nor to the city of
Charleston, and that they conceive themselves <
at perfect liberty to trade whithersoever it be
>heir interest; whether it be to Savannah
Charleston, Nevv-Yorkor elsewhere.”
Many of our readers will no doubt smile
at the singularity of the above resolution and
remarks but those who are acquainted with
-Mr. Shultz’s originality of character, and
s he leading incidents in the history of Ham
burg, will at once perceive that there is an
importance attached to their probable results
which may lead to consequences of the high
est interest to South Caronina and Georgia;
but if we are not greatly mistaken, more
particularly to the inhabitants of Savannah.
•)ur time and limits do not permit us to con
tinue this subject at present, but we shall pro
bably notice it more fully at some future time.

THE PRESS
'be honorable Mr. Forsyth, of
J corgia, in a late debate in Congress
nM secn to utter a terrible anath
ema against the Press, which he con-
is a mere vehicle of slander,
1 e! and licentiousness Wc are
out aware that the honorable gentle
,sn *»» «ver been thought of coo-
euough to merit from the
P* °‘ Editors more th;m a parsing
notice ; though it is probable, that
someone has, heretofore remarked
with freedom upon the honorable
gentleman’s conduct, as a statesman
or a public agent, and that he has
laken the present opportunity to
illustrate the gospel truth of the
maxim of Hudibras—
No man e’er felt the halter draw,
With good opinion of the law.
Or, it is possible, that the honorable
gentleman may have been about to
sell his vote for President, and kind
ly wished to give warning to printers
and editors, that if they should not
keep quiet, they might expect a
prosecution at common law, where
truth is a libel, and good intention a
crime, and fine and imprisonment
the reward for publishing the one
and exercising the other.
CANAL NAVIGATION.
The two following articles ex
hibit the actual progress, and the
prospective extent and importance
of Canal Navigation within the U.
States :
From the Albany Daily Adverttser.
Canal Commerce, Revenue &fc. —The
early friends and steadfast advocates
of the system of Internal Improve
ment which was finally adopted in
this State, have the most abundant
cause of triumph : for their most
sanguine anticipations, anticipations,
which, at the time, by many were
pronounced to be the mere day
dreams of over-heated immagina
tion, have been more than realized.
The increase of transportation on
our canals, and the toil arising there
from, has been in a ratio, far out
stripping all calculations made there
on, and the result is such as to shut
out all cavil against the foresight
and wisdom of those who staked
their reputations upon the issue.
By an exhibit from the Comp
troller’s books of the returns made
to him by the different collectors of
toll, it appears that the amount re
ceived this year is $765, 780 10.
which is $15,780 10 greater m a
mount than was estimated by the
Canal Board, and is $145,436 16
more than the sum received m the
year 1825. The amount of toll re
ceived at each Collector’s office for
the current year is given as follows,
viz : On the

document from the Collector at this port.
‘Canal Collector’s Office,
Many, Dee. 22d, 1826.
The whole number of boats that arrived at,
and departed from, Albany, in the year 1826,
is 12,856, laden as follows; with

The whole amount of toll received at this
office for the year 1826, is one hundred and

JOHN B. STAATS, Collector.
* After the 16th of August, the toll on
staves and heading was charged by the ton,
instead of per thousand.
Wc understand the amount of toll accruing
to the Albany Pier Company, and which will
have to be deducted from the above total, is
about {8,400.
The Reservoir of the Ohio Canal, on the
Licking Summit, Contracted for by Mr. John
Sheather, of Rochester, N. Y. is completed.
It contains an area of about 500 acres, and
the embankment, necessary to its completion,
two miles and twenty-three chains in length .
and is iidended to supply the main line of
Canal with water in dry seasons. The em
bankment. with a wall of hewn timber in the
centre of the bank, has cost the state about
$50,000.

GEORGIA STATESMAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1827.
From a Washington Paper.
The charge of a participation in
the Mix contract, by Major Vande
venter, is not new; neither is it now
for the first time that an allegation
has appeared in the papers, that
Mr. Calhoun was acquainted with
that circumstance. The fact of
participation is admitted in a letter
of Major Vandeventer, published in
the Washington Gazette, the prede
cessor of the Telegraph, on the 22d
of April, 1822; and the fact that his
participation was with the knowl
edge of Mr. Calhoun, and that the
contract with Mix was entered into
without the usual notice being giv
en by public advertisements, was
stated in the report of the commit
tee of the House of Representatives
upon that subject, made at the close
of the session, and published about
hat time. We shall take occasi on
to republish the letter and report,
with somo observations on the sub
ject, in our next. We cannot, how
ever, refrain from the expression of
our regret that the subject should
have been presented to Congress at
a time when so much and such im
portant business is a bout to come
before that body.
From the present, we will only
observe that we think U<ere is some
thing in Mr. Calhoun’s communica
tion to the House of Representa
tives very objectionable; as it is ca
pable of being so construed, (how
ever intended,) as to assign a cause
and origin to this occurrence which
are entirely different from its true
cause and origin.
Labor.. We have olten asserted
and shewn the reason why Great Bri
tain cannot exchange day's labor with
the United States. The commerce
and navigation between the two
countries are precisely on the same
footing—they are reciprocal in every
respect; and, though the former is
the greatest commercial nation in
the world, the trade between her
and us, in 1825, employed 181,033
tons of American shiping and oniv
37,852 British. The whole business
of building and navigating ships is
nerformed by manual labor and
such is the competition between the
great rival navigating nations. The
official value of British goods im
ported in 1826, was l 11,066,793.

PROPOSALS
FOR Publishing ENGRAVED MAPS,
of the newly acquired Territory in
Georgia, according to the recent surveys.
The increasing demand for manuscript
Maps of this highly interesting portion of
Georgia, having already greatly exceeded the
means of supply, and the growing difficulty of
supplying copies of these numerous Surveys,
to even but a small proportion of applicants,
have induced the Surveyor General to pro
pose, for this purpose, a suitable Engraving
of the whole of the territory, embracing the
Counties of Carroll, Cowetah, Troup, Musco
gee, and Lee ; each county to be subdivided
into their respective Districts, and numbered,
having the principle water-courses and rivers
properly delineated thereon, together with the
Reserves, Public Roads, Boundaries, &c.
The Engravings for the Map, (which will
be about 14 by 16 inches square, and contain
beside, much statistic information,) will bt
commenced so soon as 200 copies are bespoke.
Those who wish them, are desired to for
ward their names, FVee of Postage.
CARLTON WELLBORN.
SCJ 2 ' It was first intended to afford these
Maps at fifty cents each, but since the work
has been put into the hands of an Engraver,
and the whole cost more accurately known,
the publisher feels himself compelled from a
sence of equity to enhance the price accord
ingly.—The price of subscription therefore,
will be One Dollar each, after the first of
April.

Catt. Henry \V. Lubbock,
Dear Sir :—Your favor of the
7th instant, from Mathew’s Bluff, on
the Savannah river, I received. My
memorial was presented on the 12th
instant, by 11. L. Pinckney, Esq. of
Charleston. S. C. in the House of
Representatives, and was referred to
a special committee. On the 13th
inst. it was presented in the Senate
by the lion. John L. Wilson, and it
was required to be read. The most
important part of the memorial, in
volving the great interests of the
Stale and proving more than a full
compliance of my contract with the
State, was omitted to be read : and
then was considered a petition of a
private nature, and too late to be
received.
Such a proceeding I have never
known a wise Legislature to adopt.
In my humble conception, the whole
or none of the memorial ought to
have been read. The part of the
memorial, which was omitted to be
read, was that part of it, which prov
ed the amount the State at large had
been kenejittedhy my talents and in
dustry, and the disinterested support

why that part of the memorial was
ommitted to be read, l cannot con
jecture, unless it be, that the benefits
arising to the State out of the $ 50,
000 loaned me by them and expended
by me, were, perhaps greater to the
State, than were the benefits arising
to the State out of the millions of
dollars appropriated by the Legisla
ture and expended in Internal Imp rove
ments ! ! perhaps an appropriation
may be made for Elliott’s cut on the

MEMORIAL.
To the Honorable llic President and
Members of the Senate, and Speaker
and Members of the House of Re
presentatives of the State of South-
Carolina.
The memorial of Henry Shultz,
respectfully sheweth, that in the
year 1821, he presented a memorial
lo your honorable body, in which he
stated, "that he was engaged in crec
-1 a TOWN in this State, for the
reception of commerce, called HAM
BURG : in which project he eolisted
ome of his jriends to support him
ti his undertaking.” He prayed your
Honorable body, for the loan of $ 50
000, in order to execute his plans,
on the most favorable terms, consis
tent with the public good
at the same time, that an
part of his design was to effect a di
rect communication between Ham
burg and Charleston, by opening a ,
direct steam-boat navigation, by j
which means he would not only cut
off the trade from Augusta but also
from Savannah, and carry it to Char
leston.
Your Honorable body entered into
a contract with your memorialist, for
the purpose of carrying into effect
his designs. The committee to whom
his memorial was referred made the
following report, viz : " The joint
committee to whom was referred the
petition of Honry Shultz, beg leave
to Report, that upon so much of the
memorial as relates to the loan of
$ 50,000, prayed for in the same,
they unanimously adopted the fol
lowing resolution, which they re
spectfully recommend to the House,
viz •
Rtsclced, That the s«n of $50,000 ba lent
to Henry Shultz, for (be purposes expressed
in his memorial, on a credit of five years, Su.
As the time for which this loan was grant
ed will expire before the next session of the
Legislature ; and conceiving that your me
morialist has complied with his part of the
contract, and wishing to release his friends
from their responsibility, and reUtrn to them
the amounts so liberally and disinterestedly ad
vanced by them to him to promote his views, in
furthering tlie inierosts of the State, your
memorialist now inresents himself before your
Honorable body and prays for a settlement. !
He will name only a few items of direct bene
fits that Hie State of South Carolina, by this
contract, boo received.

The direct and indirect advantages
that have been, and may be realized \
by the State, are beyond the pow
er of man to calculate, The
gain to the State by an increase of
her revenue—the gain to the Banks
—The gain to the Insurancd Com
panies—-The gain to the Mer
chants—The gain to the Ship and
Boat Builders—The gain to the Siiip
and Boat Owners—The gain to ow
ners of Real Estate, and in Charles
ton particularly—The gain to La
borers of ail professions—The gain
to planters in saving Bridge Toll,
cannot be foretold.
Your memorialist deems it his du
ty to state that there is a great change
in the Savannah river from what it
lias been for the last six or seven
'years, it having been, and being now
very low : so much so, that the pre
sent Steam-boats cannot carry on the
business with that facility, which
the importance of the commerce for
the interests of this State requires :
in consequence of which, there is a
great opening for enterprize on that
river—which might, by talent, ex
perience and industry, be carried on
much to the injury ofthis state. In
consequence ofthis change, the pre
sent Steam-boats arc obliged to car
ry on their operations with a vast
labour, and with a great hazard of
loss. The produce must be carried
to market ; and should the change
ot nature be against our former trans
portation, man must change his ope
rations, to follow the change of na
ture. On this principal Hamburg
was built. On this principle the trade
was carried from Augusta and Savan
nah to Charleston. On this principal
Hambnrg will exist. On this principal,
aided only by talent, experience and
industry, Charleston can retain the
trade, that has been given her. Im
provement of the Savannah river is
important—but much more impor
tant is the improvement of the in
land navigation between Savannah
and Charleston. A Change of the J
mode of carrying on tiio commerce
on the Savannah river, from the for
mer one, is decroed by nature to
take place. That change may be
used extensively for the benefit of
one State, and to (lie injury of the
other—and to be felt immediately.
Circumstances have compelled your
memorialist to engage again in the
same business, which he was engag
in twenty years since, when he first
trod on the soil of this land of free
dom, which business is called Boat
ing, on the Savannah river.
It is not well thought of, for a man
to sound his own trumpet —“but who
has a better right to it. than himself?
Your memorialist has not only estab
lished profitable and permanent works
in Augusta, but also ornamental to
that city. He has connected South-
Carolina and Georgia by a perma
nent Bridge across the Savannah
river. He has built a Town in this
State. He has produced a revolu
tion in trade between the two States,
South Carolina and Georgia ; and
has diverted much of the trade of
Georgia to South Carolina. Much
has he done for the public—as yet,
nothing for himself in a pecuniary
point of view.
Circumstances imperiously require
that your memorialist should now
give his talents, experience and in
dustry, where they will yield the
most, so as to extricate himself, as
well us his friends; from pecuniary
embarrassments. Should your Hon
orable body deem it advisable to
place in Ins hands $85,000, for the j
purpose of expending it, according
to this judgment, to retain and to
secure the trade from Hamburg, Au-i
gusta, and Savannah, lo Charles-'
ton, for the benefit of this State; lie'
feels sanguine in saying, that in a
great degree he can retain it— that ]
in a jjrvat degree he will securo it— >
md docs not deny, at tbu same time,!
benefit Imusclf.
lalure, your Honorable body appro
printed $5,000, out of the interest
due by him to the State, for the pur
pose of budding a Bridge across
Stephens’Creek. 110 could not pro*
cure the priviledge to the landing, aft
such place on that creek, where he
thought a bridge might be made
permanent, and therefore no bridge,
has been built: hut a good ferry
boat and ferryman has been kept at
another place on that creek, on the
present road, for crossing free of
charges.
As the time for which the townof
Hamburg was excmj»ted from taxa
tion, will shortly expire, he prays
your bouorable body, that that town
may be exempted from all taxes for
three years more.
Should your Honorable body con
cur in opinion with your memorialist,
that the bonds of bimsclffc his securi
ties have been paid off to the state,
he prays that they may be delivered
up to him, and that the mortgage
which the State has on hamburg be
satisfied.
For his five years services to the
State, ho leaves it with your honora
ble body to reward him according to
his merit.
And, as in duty bound will ever
pray,
HENRY SHULTZ.

To order a prosecution, before a
crime, is condemnin' g a man before a.
trial.
Solomon says, "There was a city
and few men within it; and there
came a great King against it, and be
sieged it, and built great bulwarks
against it.
Now there was found in it a poor
Wise man, and ho by bis Wisdom
delivered the city : yet, no man rc*.
membered that same poor man.
Then said I, Wisdom is better than
strength; nevertheless, the poor
man’s wisdom is despised, and his
words arc not heard."
No tidings yet of the two promised
Steam-boats. The promise I receiv
ed ; but where are the two forty
thousand d6llar Steam-boats ? The
Legislature could not receive my Mi>
mokial, because “it was received too
late /” But it was not too late to re
ceive the trade,
years had elapsed. A public man
was I, when giving,—but a "private"
one was I, when to receive. Your
empty stores have been filled with
Cotton—Your wharves have groan
ed under the weight of Cotton—
ships have | left your harbor ladened
with Cotton! —lu short the State has
a Tow n —Charleston has the trade ;
but what have l? The depts to pay f ! !
