Prospectus of a Neve Work to be entitled GEORG f A IL LUST R ATE I), "■ N a series of original pictures, on steel, with let- X ler press descriptions. The plan of publishing in successive numbers pictorial works, illustrative of the scenery of countries, has long been a popu lar one in Europe, and is rapidly gaining favor in ourown country. The proposition to issue such a work, devoted to the scenery of Georgia, although novel, will tind universal favor, and be regarded as it is by the Edit or, a plan at once felicitous and feasible. There is much scenery in our State,that is not surpassed in beauty and sublimity, by that of any other State in the Union. Th'* upper counties abound in scenes, which need only be known to command the admi ration ol all who love the beauties of nature. — Much of the scenery of the Noith is inferior to our own, but is yet vEitcd by thousands simply because it has been written sung an 1 ‘•■lionized," by au thors and travellers until its beauly has become universally known and appreciated. It is desirable that attention should be directed to our own resour ces of picturesque in natural scenery, and when this is done, our own and Northern tourists will speedily render our beautiful views as immortal as our language. The South is charged with general indiffeience to the progress of Literature and Fine Arts; and probably the strongest foundation for the charge is found in her inaction in enterprise calculated to fos ter these objects. The publication of the propos ed work will it is believed, be an effective blow at the foundation, a step towards the establishment of our literary reputation, to which end much hon orable elfort is now directed. A third consideration and the last which will now be urged, is (he intrinsic value of such publi cation as “ Georgia Illustrated.” It will embo dy the representations of the beautiful and sublime in our State scenery, and afford to all, at a trifling expense, exact pictures of our mountains, vallies, cataracts, public buildings, &c., which they may or may not otherwise behold, but which, in either case, would afford peculiar pleasure. The proposed work will be executed in a style superior to any Similar pictorial work in the coun try. The plates will be executed on steel, by em inent engravers, from oiiginal diawing, made ex pressly for the purpose, by Mr. T. Addi-on Rich ards, of Augusta. The engravings will be accom cornpanied with letter press descriptions, prepared for the work, and in this department the editor will secure, as far as possible, the assistance and co-operation ol our best writers. In short, no pains will be spared to make thd work a perfei t gem of the kind, to the end that it may meet a welcome reception not only at home but also abroad. CONDITIONS. I. “Georgia Illustrated,” will be issued in monthly parts, in the quarto form, at $5 per annum invariably in advance, or at 5U cents for each part, payable on delivery. 11.

MOFFAT’S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES medicines are indebted for their name. Jl to tin ir manitest and sensible action in puri fying she spring and channels ot hie, ami enduing • them with renewed tone and vigor. In many hun , dred certified cases which has been made public, and in almost every species of disease to which the human frame is liable, the happy effects of MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PHENIX BIT TERS have been gratefully and publicly ac- I nowledged by the persons benefiitted, and who were previously unacquainted with the beautifully philosophical principles upon which they are compounled. and upon which they «onsequent!y act. The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves in diseases of every form and description. Their first operation is to loosen from the coals of the stomach and bowels, the various impurities and crudities eon tantly settling around them ; and to remove the hardened faeces which collect convolusions of the smallest intestines. Other medicines only pariially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind as to produce habitu al costiveness with j 11 its train ofevils.or in a sud den diarrhoea, with its eminent dangers. This fact is well known to all regular anatomists, who ex amine the human bowels after death ; and hence the prejudice of those well informed men against quack medicines—or medicines prepared and her laded to the public bv ignorant pi rsons. ’I he se-. cond effect of the Life Medicines is lo cleanse l lie kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the ! liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary organs. The blood, w hich takes its red color from the agency of the liver and the lungs before it passes into the hen r, being tnus purified by them j and nourished by food coming from a clean stom- 1 ach, courses free!}’ ih.ougli the \eins, renews every | part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the j banner of health in the blooming cheek. Moffat’s Vegetable Life Medicine j have been i thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign remedy lor Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of the Heart, Lossot Appetite, Heart-bora and Head ache, Restlessness, ill-temper, Anxiety, Languor and Melancholy, Cosliveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera, Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies of all kind.

In fever and ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been most eminently successful; so much so that in the j Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni versally prescribe them. All thal Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is to he particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly : according to the directions, it is not by a news paper nonce, or any thing that he himself may say ui their favor, that he hopes to gam credit. It is alone by the resul. of a fair :rial.

The extraordinary reputation that Dr Spohn’s remedy for this distressing compaint is every day gaining is certainly a matter ot much astonishment. That so much suffering should have existed Tor ages without any discovery ot an effectual preventive, or cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. S. now assures the public that such a remedy has been invented as will c onvince the most credulous. The principles on which it acts are simple and plain, it is an a mined feet that this complaint, whether called Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim arily from the stomach—those who think ihey have I lie Nervous Headache may rest assured that this organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th a sys tem has become vitiated or debilitated, liuougli ihe stomach, and that only through the same channel must they expect s restoration of the naiural and healthy functions ot the system. This object, Dr Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to attain. The truth of this position cannot be controverted, and the sooner sufferers wiih die headache become convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end in restoration ol health, Dr. Spohn pledges his professional reputation on this fact. Tne remedy may he had of apothecaries generally throughout the United States. For sale by ANTONY & HAINES, No. 232 Broau-street.
