Henry Schultz?, a man in humble life, it a happy
husband and father; hit wife it seduced, hit
family perishes, and he starves himself to death.
The poem it founded on a fact related by pro
fessor Hutsland. The following, on the discov
ery of bis dishonour, is very touching :
She held ray knees, and pleaded till away
She swoon'd. I gazed upon her at she lay,
And knew not where I was. I could not speak.
My heart’s blood went and came: my knees grew
weak,
And shook beneath me, till I almost thought
I should have sunk and died upon the spot.
At last came tears and cries to my relief;
I turned away and howled aloud my grief.
But still he lived.—l snatched the knife, and
rushed
Forth to his chamber, hoping to have crnsbed
The serpent in his lair ; but he was fled.
I stabbed in frenzy his deserted bed,
And cut the clothes in pieces he had worn,
And would have next destroyed myself forlorn;
But God withheld me there —I tottered down
To her again, anJ wept—l could not frown—
No, in despite of every stain and fall,
She was my dimmed, degraded, ruined All.
I mourned,but could not hate her. “Go 1” cried I,
II Go ! we are neither of usfit to die.
Thy parents’ roof must now thy shelter be,
TVhere thou may’st weep for thy lost self, and me.
Kiss, then, thy helpless children and go hence,
And seek tbv God with prayer and penitence.
And O, may lie, all fallen at thou art,
Forgive thee as doth now my breaking heart I”
The death of his last child is very pathetick.
But ah! my spirit from its trance awoke !
A second thunderbolt upon me broke.
“ Thy child is dying,” smote upon my ear.
Mychild !my child 1 , my little dear'!
My only solace left! (for note ! knew
1 had a solace) must she quit me too ?
Tes : and the dread contagion stopp’d not there ;
Sickened and sank the other little pair;
Sickened and sank, and died before my face,
Almost before 1 caught one live embrace.
Or snatched one breathing kis. O God ! O God!
The little darlings! that beside me trod,
And climbed my knees, and pulled my cost in
playl
.And smiled and prattled round me yesterday,
Cold, stiff, and silent now, and low in earth,
Laid by the side of her who gave them birth.
But I must put aside these musings drear,
And torn where yet a hope remains to cheer
My toils; and God may pity, may forbear
This little lone one from my heart to tear.
O would He leave her tone, here I’d vow
To own his love, and prize my blessings now ;
Might ray wild prayer this single boron obtain,
I ne’er would murmur—come what might—again.
I took my anxious station near her bed,
Fann’d her hot cheek, and propped her little
head.
Watched her asleep, and tended her awake.
And wept and prayed and trembled for her sake.
I see her now, when from her stooping eye
She wip’d the tear and whisper’d, “ Do not cry.
My dear papa, forme. You said, you know,
To heaven, where poor mamma and Sophie are,
And Wilhelm too, and live with angels there,
And God, and Jesus Christ, and all good men :
And I am 6ure 1 must be happy then.
But if 1 go and tell mamma that you
Were crying here, 1 know she will cry too
I cannot speak the rest. From my embrace
They took and bore the body to its place.
My heart went with it down into the grave;
And there it rests with those it failed to save.
MISCELLANY.
GREEK ROBBER.
The sanguinary civil war at this moment
waged between the Christian or Greek in
habitants ofthe Turkish empire, and their
tyrannick masters, has been preceded by a
long train of petty warfares in which the :
veng°ance of the Greeks has degenerated i
into robbery, of which the following is a
singular instance:
From the year 1745 to 1760, the Turks
were greatly annoyed on their Venetian
frontier by a bandit of the name of Sociviz
ca, who had conceived an inveterate ani
mosity against the whole Ottoman race,and
made them the constant and exclusive ob
jects of his marauding enterprises. At
length, pursued on every side, and anxious
for a short repose, Socivizca retired with
bis family to Carlowifz, in the Austrian do
minions, where he resided for three years,
distinguished during the whole period for
the most irreproachable conduct.
While living here in peace, he was be
trayed into the hands of a Turkish Pacha,
who had most cruelly put to death one of
his brothers, and his wife and children were
soon, after entrapped in the same manner.
Fortune had not, however, yet deserted So
civizca. As the Turks were conducting
him to Traunick, he contrived to make hi*
escape, though he had still the mortifica
tion to leave his family prisoners.
When his own safety was insured, he en
tered into a negotiation with the Pacha for
the liberty of his wife and children, lmtin
vain.- All other methods failing, he deter
mined to write ; and his letter h a curious
specimen ofsocial feeling, operating oa a
rugged mind and ardent disposition. It
was in these terms :
<l 1 am informed, 0 Pacha of Bosnia ! that
you complain of my escape ; but I put it to
yourself, what would you have done in my
place ? Would you have suffered yourself
to be bound with cords like a miserable
beast, and led without resistance by men,
who, ns soon as they arrived at a certain
place, would in all probability have put you
to death ? Nature impels us to avoid des
truction, and 1 have only acted in obedience
to her laws.
“ Tell me, Pacha, what crime have my
wisp and children committed, that in spite ,
©flaw and justice, you should retain them
as slaves ? Perhaps you want to render me
more submissive f but you cannot surely
expect that 1 shall return to you, and hold
forth my arm* to be loaded with fresh
chains? No, you do but deceive yourself,
and render me more terrible than before.
Hear me, then, Pacha ; you may eahaust
on them all vour fury without producing
the least advantage. On my part i declare
1 will wreak my vengeance on all the
Turks, your subjects, who may fall into my
lianas ;und I will omit nO means of injuring
_you. For the love of God restore to me, i]
...U. Obtain pardon I
_.j sovereign, and no longer retain in
your memory my past offences. I promise
1 that I will then leave your subjects in tran
quillity, and even serve them as a guide
when necessary.
“If you refuse me this favour, expect
from me all that despair can prompt. I
will assemble my friends, carry destruction
wherever you reside, pillage your proper
ty, plunder your merchants, and from this
moment, if you pay no attention to my en
treaties, I swear that I will massacre every
ITurk that falls into my hands.”
The Pacha did not think proper to pay
apy attention to the letter of a highway
robber, and Socivizca was not slow in car
rying into <ffect the vow he had made. He
desolated the country, giving proofs of pro
digious valour; insomuch that the people
were obliged to intreat the Pacha to deliv
er them from so great a scourge, by send
ing back his wife and children. The Pacha,
however, was inexorable, and it was only
by a fortunate co-operation of force and
stratagem, of (he particulars of which we
are not correctly informed, that he succeed
ed at last in obtaining the liberty of his fam
ily.
Shortly after, his troop took prisoner a
Turk, who had favoured the escape of one
of Socivizca’s brothers. The brother, in
opposition to the wish of the chief and the
rest of the band, was anxious to return the
favour. The captive was destined to die ;
k 4.xt rr
at prayers, a ceremony which he never
omitted before meals, set him at liberty :
all the band were outrageous against the
brother of Socivizca, and one of his neph
ews carried his resentment so far as to give
him a blow ; the indignant uncle drew a
pistol, and killed the aggressor on (he spot;
Socivizca at the same time expelled his
brother from the troop; and after perform
ing the funeral obsequies of his nephew,
felt so great a dngree of mortification, that
he determined to pass the remaioder of hi?
days in retirement.
But the habits of a long life are not so
easily changed ; after a short retreat, So
civizca suddenly resumed his system of hos
tilities against the Turks.
Yet how instructive i? the sequel of this
extraordinary man’s life ! Aftpr as many
massacres and robberies as would have out
weighed the souls of a thousand men, he
found himself in possession of no more than
six hundred sequins ; part of which sum he
confided to a friend, and part to a cousin,
both of whom absconded with their respec
tive deposits.
At length, in 1775, the emperour Joseph
11. passing by Grazach, was desirous to see
him ; be had him brought into his presence,
and made him repeat the chief events of his
life ; after which, besides making him a
considerable present in money, he appoint
ed him to the post of Anambassa of Fau
dours.
GEOLOGICAL.
From, the Chillicolhe Recorder.
In digging a well in Maysville, Kentucky,
for Mr. Edmond Martin, about the year
1795, at the depth of 20 feet from the sur
face of the earth, the workmen came to a
tree on which the marks of the axe are
dearly discernible ! This was, at the time,
considered a curious discovery ; but it can
be rationally and easily accounted for. It
is evident from this circumstance that the
w aters of the Ohio once rolled where Mays
ville now stands, and that the ground upon
which this town is situated has been form
ed by the current of the river.
About a year ago, we gave a statement
of a singular discovery made in digging the
canal at Zanesville, in thisstate. It will be
remembered that the roots, trunks, limbs,
leaves, and even blossoms of the cassia,
cocoa-nut, bearing palm, and bamboo were
there found. From the following extract
of a letter from Caleb Atwater, Esq. our
readers will perceive that a similar discov
ery has been made near Circleville.
“ There i9 a prairie, extending from
Margos’ creek adjoining the town of Cir
cleville, to near the mouth of Walnut
creek, which i3 nearly six miles. In width
this natural meadow is from half a mile to
two miles. In digging several ditches for
the purpose of draining this prairie, it has
been ascertained that peat of the best qual
ity and in abundance exists here ; that after
descending a few feet below the present
surface, white cedar trees covered the (hen
surface, on several of which marks of ax
es or other sharp tools of either iron or
steel, are quite visible. Grape vines are
frequently iitJ t. oeuars, nnu me
bones of various animals are frequently dis
covered. Specimens may be seen at the
post-office in Circleville.* In such alluvial
lands the remains of the mastadon, those of
man and his works, are often found in Ohio.
“ Are these antediluvian relicks? The
peat appears to be the remains of grasses
and vegetables, which have grown since
the cedars were felled. llow long it has
been since the surface was where the trees
now lie, we cannot say ; but many, many
years have certainly passed away, since
that time. An examination of this region,
between the Allegany and the Rocky
Mountains, the Lakes and the Mississippi,
will throw new light on the history of the
earth and of man. In a country so vast,
I where lie entombed the beings of past ages,
i what a field is opened for speculation, re
search and discovery ? Were it not for the
idea, that l should never have been person
ally acquainted with my highly esteemed
, friends of the present age, I could have
i wished, that 1 had been born one fifty years
! later. Before that time, I clearly foresee
that some mighty genius will show himself
upon this field, who by his talents, his zeal,
industry and researches, will pull down
with his giant arm, the idle theories of the
present times, produce one grand whole
system of geology, the base of which, rest
-1 iog on eternal truth, shall sfcmd as high rb
heaven and as durable as time, of his la
bours and his mighty genius. He will do
honour to himself, his country and to man.
But alas, I shall never behold him. All my
little efforts will “be forgotten, the hand
which traces these lines shall have moul
dered, and the eye which sees them be
dim in the grave.”
A letter from Mrs. A G'-sntt, to a friend near
Boston, dated Edinburg, an. 2, appears in a late
Boston paper, and present the following agreea
ble information :
“ Your country is Ike Virgil’s fame, .en
larging while we looi at it, till we are over
whelmed by its magnitude. While we,
bound in our watery girdle and sinking un
der the deb# in which our valour and gen
erosity hae involved us, have no other re
source fr>m which to support our conse
quence dot our intellectual wealth ; —the
legacie* left by the glorious Bards and
sages f the golden time, and anew crop of
poetical laurels that are springing daily up
with unequalled vigour and freshness. Os
these we have been perhaps too vain, and
tot ready to wonder that the belles lettres
his not been suddenly and successfully cul
tivated among the stumps and Indian corn
fields of recent settlements, or amidst all
the effervescence of politicks and legisla
tion in the new-born empire. This ground
of superiority seems fast receding, and we
are now by abundant candour atoning for
our arrogance. Could you believe that it
is uow the universal fashion to admire
aim-riu... anrt with noepti 0 n of
ocotl s incomparable novels, there noth
ing so much read, praised and admired, as
the Sketch Book and Knickerbocker, which
the reading people here have now discov
ered to be a treasure of wit, humour and
sound reasoning, and keen, yet good hu
moured satire. The style too, is allowed
lobe all faultless excellence; totally free
of the Gallicism arid meretricious ornaments
which occurred too frequently in former
translantick productions. The purity of its
anglecisms far exceeds what is frequent
among ourselves. This, with the impres
sion left by some elegant minded Americans
who have visited us within the last few
years, have brought about a wonderful rev
olution in pnblick opinion in favour of our
grand-children of the new continent. Mr.
Mackenzie (Henry) who is still the most
lively person l ever met with, and by far
the most eloquent and pleasant, sat with
me a good while the ether day, as indeed |
he olten does. He talked of America as ai
most magnificent and wonderful country, j
and expressed his admiration of the late
works.
George 11. did not like either the princi
ples or measures of Pitt and Temple. So.
little was he satisfied with the language ■
put into his mouth at the opening of the ses
sion, that hearing of a printer who was to
be punished for publishing a spurious speech
from the throne, he expressed his hope
that the man’s sentence would be mild, be
cause he had read both, and so far as he
could understand either of them, be liked
the spurious speech better than the real
one.
GREAT WESTERX CANAL.
There is no subject of publick interest, which
so much attracts the attention of the Northern and :
Eastern people of the U. States, as the canah in ;
the state of New York ; and of these the great
Western Canal from the city of Albany to Lake
Erie, ending at or near Buffalo, is the most im
portant. This, when completed, will be from
310 to 350 miles in length ; thereby connecting
the waters of Erie with those of the Hudson, and
uniting the navigable waters of all the Western
Lakes with the Atlautick Ocean. The shores ad-j
joining these lakes are of greater extent than the j
whole of our shores on the Atlantick, from Maine
to Georgia, both inclusive. On this canal, the!
product of a fertile country, much greater in ex- 1
tent than all the New England States, will be
brought into market.
One hundred aud five miles of this canal are j
now completed, and the water let in for publick
use; beginning nine miles south of the village of
Utica, and ending at Montezuma, 96 miles west;
of that village. The canal is 44 feet in width, and i
4in depth. The first level, beginning 9 miles be- i
low Utica, is 09 miles without any lock. On tbisj
Middle Section (as it is called) there are nine ’
locks :of these 7 fall, and 2 rise. The greatest!
fall at any lock is 11 feet, and the least 6 : the j
greatest rise is 11 1-2 feet, and the least 6 1-2.
Two basinß or harbours have been made by
the village of Utica, within which a great number
of boats can be conveniently accommodated, for
the purpose of taking in and discharging freight.
Other large basins have been formed at different
places, and houses erected for the reception of
produce. At Syracuse, is the junction of the side
cut canal to Salina, beiiw one mile from the On
ondaga Salt Springs m which are several spacious
basins.
On the middle section of the canal, the deepest
cut into the earth is 22 feet, and the highest em
bankment 36. There are several aqueduct
bridges, constructed of well wrought stone into
arches, which carry the waters of the canal from
20 to 30 feet above the level of the streams
which pass under it. These are all handsome
specimens of workmanship.
It ought to be here noticed, that in erecting the
locks aud other stone works connected with the
water, the builders have used what is called wa
ter-lime, which petrifies and hardens under wa
ter, I'ke the Duke of Bridgewater’s lime. This
lime is found adjacent to the canal, in great
abundance,‘and may well be considered a great
i acquisition to the United States.
There are two boats employed exclusively for
passengers, 77 feet in length and 13 in width,nav
’ igated by 7 hands ; and capable of accommoda
ting in handsome style, 30 passengers. These
boats are drawn by two horses each, by means of
a tow rope from 6 to 8 rods in length ; the horses
, ate harnessed tandem, with a small rider on the
hind horse, and are exchanged every eight miles.
| They pass and repass night and day (Sundays ex
cepted) and though they are prohibited a greater
| headway than 5 miles an hotr, yet, in the course
of 25 hours the progress is as great as that of our
i best stages. There isno detention in passing each
, other, and at the looks it does not exceed four 1
1 minutes. The average number of passengers in 1
| these boats, for this season, each trip, is 20. In i
these boats travellers are regaled by viewing al- j
temately, the richest productions of cultivated
earth, and the rudest display of forests, hills, mo
•ra,*e* and swamps ; which, together with the
i rapidity and ease of their passage, makes the
whole a delightful stretch of scenery, highly in
'l cresting to those who have never before witnsfted
48
I any thing of the kind. The fare of passenger* is
I 4 cents per mile, nml includes efery expense, ex
cept such as may be voluntarily incurred at the
bar, which is rented to the steward of the boat lor
4250 for the season. ,
The canal from Montezuma to Rochester on the
Genesee River, is understood to be in great for
wardness ; that from Utica to the Little Falls on
the Mohawk, is finished, and the water thus far
will be let in next fall ; and the remainder down
the river to the city of Schenectady, a distance of
about 70 miles, will be completed in the autumn,
but the water will not be let in till next spring;
and from the best information which could be ob
tained, the whole will be completed within two
yeurs from next November. Thus, the State of
New York will then have effected and completed
that which will redound more to her honour than
any thing which she has ever before accomplish
ed, and more than has been done by any other
State in the Union. She has, as it were, connect
ed two empires. Those only who best know the
great extent and interest of the new world, and
that as connected with this Canal, can duly ap
preciate the importance of tbis stupendous work.

“ ’Tis not in mortals to command success,
u But we’ll do more, Sempronius,
“ We’ll deserve it.”
THE Press has been truly and classically call
ed the Palladium of Liberty. In the dis
i semination of useful knowledge, in the correction
of political abuses, it stands proudly pre-eminent
j above evey other institution ; it is the handmaid
to the Arts and Sciences, the conservator of Ge
: nius, and the pioneer to tfce march of Liberty and
• Virtue. However corrupt a press may be, how
ever ably and skilfully conducted, it cannot long
retain an undue influence upon the minds of the
i People: the glare of publick observation through
i which it moves, like the unsullied mirror of Con
• fucius, immediately reflects its deformity ; and
. exposes its venality. Someone has aptly observ
j ed, (hat opinion is the Queen of the World. She
[ is emphatically so in a government like ours.
| The aristocratical maxim, “thepeople are their
, own worst enemies under whatever semblance
it may appear, will still retain an impress of its
original features; and the ken of an enlightened
community will soon penetrate thegoseamer man
tle, and drag the monster to light.
WE, THE PEOPLE , will be particularly
devoted to an impartial examination of the poli
ticks of the State of Georgia. The policy of its
present administration is one which fully accords
with our feelings and principles : and • l. s
it adheres to that honest ana independent course
which has invariably marked its progress, so long
will the Editors be devoted to its support. All
other subjects of State or National concern will
receive that portion of attention which they mer
it ; and every exertion will be used to render the
paper a medium of useful intelligence.
Such are the sentiments of the Editors; and
thus feeling and thinking, will they launch their
little barque upon the political ocean. With
I ruth their chart, and Independence their com
pass, they hope in attempting to avoid Scylla they
will not founder on Charybdis ; but ride in tri
umph on the Sea of Principle into the Port of
Publick Safety.
We, the People, will be published forthwith,
under the management of one of the Editors of
