Observing aa anecdote in a late num ber of your paper, of one of our summer emigrating gentry to a fashionable water ing place, reminds me of one that occur red at Saratoga, some years since, when it was so much the resoi t of Southern vis itors. A South Carolinian, from the assumption of consequence, caused an en quiry of his servant, how many negroes his mastei had? He answered, " Me, and Fatimore," (the name of the other negro.) ".Ah ! You and forty more !-He is rich." This established the Gentleman's right of importance, and the greatest atten tion was paid him, until a neighbor arrived, who barely recognized him: this appeared strange to the company, who were paying coutt to him. Another en quiry was made of the new comer, and when the matter was explained, a precip itate retreat was made. A SUBsscIBER. Miscellaneous. An election was held in the Town of Hamburg. S.

HARD RuuN.-A West Tennessee Mer -chant advertises that he will not only take jea. ploughs, linseys, beeswax, feathers. tow and talib iik payment forgoods,. but aif enn. will take Missisipi Motey! Fron t&e CoAniede Ir Sentiml. Ma. EDrIo.- have told you that I had won a victory of eigh teen years war. What signifies the conquest of war unless the Generai koows how to reap the bene fit or his victory? What signifies the build ing of a town if the builder does not know how to enjoy the results of his success? I have told you that I have accomplished great designs and others were fattening upon the fruits of them, and that an over hauling might be indispensable. Many years experience has given me full proof that I can plan and execute great works but not enjoy the benefits of them myself, because while I am planning and execu ting with both body anti mindezealously, I cannot guard myselfagainst the ingenuity of others from dispossessing me of the same when accomplished. The world will have it. that were I to live fifty more years, the course of my pursuits would be tho same the world will find itself mistaken. The first rule of nature tells us that we must labor for our existence and be useful to mankind. I feel satisfied that I have done my part, and believe the same is ac knowledged by the world. I shall now begin to sell off and square off. I am now wanted to help to build a Turnpike from Hamburg to the mountains. I deem that enterprize a practicable one, and the importance it would give to Ham burg cannot be told, yet I decline enjoy ing the honor conferred on me as one of the Commissioners. I may, however, do one thing. Intending to visit Europe next spring, I might bring a number of my coontrymen as laborers to serve in that en terprise. The object of that visit is in part to put in operation that direct trade between this country and Europe which seems so-natural, for we have the same seas and use the same ships as those o: the North. For that pturpose several conven tions were held in the Union, among them two or three held in. Augusta, at which many speeches were made, fine dinners eaten, anti the silver cup given to William Dearing, but nothing more has been done to my knowledge: I suppose the golden cup is very properly reserved for me. I presume it will not be denied that South Carolina was the first State and I the firat man that brought this great enterprize to the view of the Southern people; for on the 19th day of December, 1835, the Legisla ture granted me an act of incorporation to carry on this important object. anti here are tne words; "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives now met in general assembly, and by the authority of the same, that Henry Shultz, Charles Lamar, and Edward Delius. in behalf of themselves, and such others as now or hereafter may be associated with them, for the purpose of establishing a direct trade, between the town of Hamburg in South Carolina, and the Kingdoms of Prussia, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, and thefree republic of Hamburg, Germany, by the way of Charleston, S. C. are hereby con stituted a body corporate.. and politic, by the name and title of "the American and German Trading and Insurance Compa ny," with a capital of five hundred thou sand dollars each," and this enterprise was followed up by Mir. Dearing, and oth ers, which brought about the first Conven tion, which was held in Augusta, 17th October 1837, after the lapse of two years, from the time I received my charter, for that enterprise. HENRY SHULTZ, Founder and Proprietor of the town of Hnmhurg, S. C. Hamburg. Febrary 7, 1839. South- Westrn Rail Road Bank Bill. The following paragraph. from thc Lex ington Observer, of the .5th inst. revives once more some small hope -of the final success of this measute: "The Legislatur.-We regret to state that the bill to confer Bankitng potw era up. on the Charleston, Louisville andI Citncin nati Rail Road Company. has been defea ted in the Houseof Representatives of the Kentucky Legislature, by a vote of ayee 48, noes 52-every member present. Since the vote was taken o Tuesday, we learn that t wo gentlemen who voted against the bill, have received instructions from their constitutents to vote for it. an~d we presume the question will again come u upon a reconsideration next week, when wve are not wvithbout a hope of its passage. The bill was defeated upon its third read ing, and a letter fronm Frankrort to the Louisville Journal states that -it is knowtn that at least three members voted for the third reading of the bill who woutld have voted against it upon its final passage.' The question of its passage we are never theless still inclined to regard as at leaus doubtful." Judging by what we can learn of the tenor of the constitution made by the con vention which lately met at St. Josephs, the people of Florida are abuout as friendly to Banks as their Red waet are to the Whites. Look at what they have put in to-the constitution under which they are to be governed in future. To pass or altet any act of incorporation, reuires a t wo thirds vote of each House, after three months public notice of thes intention to ap ply for the same. No hank shall have less thatt twenty stockholders, of whom more than one half. must be residents in Florida. The capital must not be less than $100, 000 paid in specie; loans on stock are forbid den,and banks are prohibited from borrow ing money to add to their capital stock, ot aid their business. Dealing in any kind of merchandize, in stocks, real est ate, in in surance, manufacturing, exportation ot importation. (except in gold and silver,) are specially forbidden. Their liab'ilities and issues shall never exceed twice the a mount of capital stock paid in. They shall not issue notes less than five dollars, and the legislature may carry the restric tion to twenty dollars. Stokholders are liable to the amount of their stock for every violation of charter and for the payment ol its debts wvhen the charter expires. The legislature is forbidden to pledge the faith and credit of the State to raise fund. in aid of any corporation whatever. No Presi dent, Director, or officer of a Bank, is eli gible as Governor, or State Senator ot Representative, while bolding these rela. tionsi-o'a-bank, or for twelve months after they may have served.-. 0. Courfer. .Butoonle, N. C-/Ihe legislature of N. C4arolina, we learn, has again subdivided the old county of Buncombe, and thus en tirely shorn it of its pretentious to be any longer called, in pride of territorial extent, "the State of Buncombe." A new county called Henderson, has been formed of its Southern part. bordering on South Caro lina-the county town has not yet been located, but will most probably he estab lished on the French Broad, West of Flat Rock. Flat Rock itself, however, may be selected. Commercial. From the Augusta Constautionalist, Feb.24. AUGUSTA AND HAMBUIW MARKET.
