•Whakteeahcuid seek tn the Sciences is truth, and truth,
.< „ ~, t.,, is in the facts." —Broussais.
IT is now more than six years since I first con
ceived the idea of publishing periodically the
above work, for the following reasons, winch are ob
vious and striking: There being no publication ot the
kind in the States and, for ought'l know, throughout
the whole Southern States; we are compel ed, con
sequently, to look to the North, and through hei to
“Xpe, tor every thing new. rare, and iuterest.ng in
the science, it would seem If cu ’ ,! *it\
just at the present time, When tlie most awfui 'it
tion is hovering over the laud the . m.i i<, . < • ■
It has already swept across a great extent ct Nott
America ; t"ou: Montreal and Quebec to New Or
k " visiting almost every city and town ot any un
. ’ Northern Middle and VV estern States.
Kre is left no reasonable, ground to justify the con
cl Lion, that our highly favoured section of couu ry,
ran much longer escape the impending evil Besides,;
have we no disease or modification of disease, inci
dent and peculiar to our climate, and remedies native
•of our country ? ... r
Medicine had its origin: in necessity : in motives of
benevolence and philanthropy—in a disposition to
initraate »he evils—to ameliorate the condition o: suf
fering human nature to bailie fell discase-the greatest
curse inflicted on fallen man—and bestow on linn
Health, the chicfest blessing, saving the atoning blood
of our Saviour. Our much lamented Rush said, while
the world, from the progressoi intellectual, moral,
arid political truth, is becoming a more safe and agree
able abode for man, the votaries of Medicine should
not be idle.” The American J.inmeus, the late ven
erable Beni. 8. Bartoll said, “he who discovers one
valuable new Medicine, is a more important benefac
tor of his species than Alexander, Cesar, Bonaparte,
or an hundred other conquerors. Even his glory,
in the estimation ot a uuly civilized age, will be great
er and more lasting, than that of these admired ravag
es of the world.” .
What is the condition of our department of science
in Georgia ? Indeed and in truth, our Medical lore is
lurking far behind (comparatively speaking) the active
Improvements of the day—the spirit ot the. tunes ad- ,
tionishiugusto look forward, with an unnvited gaze
irion the advance of man and the “march ot mind.
Ttiere is medical talent in Georgia, and yet she is al
most without professional character; because she has
not enterprise, industry and energy. There is mani
festly but little written on medicine in our btate; med
ical reading too, is not pursued With avidity, less stud
ied, properly undeistood and regarded.
] et us turn our attention to tile constant and inde
fatigable efforts of many American teacheis; but es
pecially to the late works of our own countryman,
professor Jackson of Philadelphia. He inculcates
principles upon the unerring guide ot geumiic and m-
Lictive philosophy. he declaims against authority;
and boldly asserts the non-existence of a specific g«s
tric juice, .nd advocates other certainties, as impor
tant to physiology and truth. .
, The recent splendid discoveries of Abercrombie of
Scotland of Abernethy, Lawrence, Clutterbuck, j
Teale.&C- &c. of England, arc their everlasting mon- !
aments. Germany is likewise moving on But above :
a.i, stand the sons of France, and of true medical phi
iosophv, Andral Broussais, Baron Larry, J inel Lneu-1
nee and others; these moderns of the moderns, have
. wholly uprooted the old and ancient systems ot rou
tine, medicine’.—they have sought, however, not so
much to overthrow former systems founded tn error, >
as they have to discover truth, 3nd the real etiology ot
disease. They have not only succeeded m removing
the rubbish, but in establishing medicine on a surer
and tinner foundation, and giving to it the hue of
, m uch onwardto perfection- . .
Kt would be uncandid. and it is not to be denied or
concealed, that the doctrines of the French school
and particularly those ot the deservedly renowned
and immortal reformer Broussnw, will be held and
maintained in this Gazette. Wo regard them (and
thev are universally admitted) as containing!he purest
and most substantial ot the great fundamental truths
ot physiological medicine. They are founded in data,
the dissecting knife has been made to reveal and de
veiope. nom pathological anatomy, pr.nciples of a,
fixed character. . i- i '
They will be as enduring ns time, and as solid as
adamant. Principles involved in cause and effect,
That were heretofore considered mysteries inexplica
ble, are now known and established facts. In the
mind of Broussais, positive philosophy has sought and
found confessedly a regenerating and redeeming
spirit.
We come not-without diffidence, presenting our
humble offering, feeble and retired ns it is. to contrib
ute our mite nt the altar ot professional science: it we
can but give a Zest to the young mind, an inclination
and direction to medical inquiry, it is all we hope and
expect; it is the “Me plus ultra" of our wishes
Some of the best talent of the State is engaged to
assiit ..nd to contribute in the work, and we confi
dently expect to be able to concentrate and combine
such a fund of foreign and domestic intelligence in
our journal, as to make it acceptable, if not agreeable

Mercer Institute. ;
FBI HE Mercer Institute, for combining study and '
manual labour, will go into operation on the 2d
Monday in January next, under the direction ot the 1
Rev. B. 11. B anders.
The principle object of the Institution is the educa- ;
tion of pious young men, who are called to the gospel
ministry and have been licensed by the church to
which they belong, and have a good report of them : !
that are without —and particularly those who are indi- '
gent —and such are affectionately invited to bring '
their testimonials and avail lliemselves gratuitously of j '
(he advantages of the Institution. But as we have no i '
reason to believe that tins class ot pupils will fill up ; !
the school ; it will receive, in addition, as many young 11
men of good moral character, as can be pro.ided lor, | 1
irrespective of religious sentiments. The (Committee J (
are of opinion that, from the limited state ot its pres- |
ent accommodations, they will not be able to receive j ’
more than 30 to board on the premises the first Term '
As fast, ns our triends may find themselves well 1
pleased with the experiment we may make, as to con
tribute to our means, we design to enlarge our accom- 1
modations tor students, and open our doors for them. '
All the branches of science, usually taught in gram- '
mer schools, will be taught in this Institution No stu
dent w ill be received for less than one yeaF —theyear
will be divided into two terms—the first of six months, '
from the 2d Monday in January, to the 2d in July— I
the 2d of 5 months, from the 3d Monday iu July, to ; '
(he 3 I Monday in December. > '
BOARD, lor ail over hi years of nge, will be S3O j
for the scholastic year, and $6 for washing ; those un- i'
der Hi, at 5 per month, having a reasonable deduction j •
for their labour —each student furnishing his own bed
and candles. For want of funds, board and tuition !
will be required in advance, to be paid to the stew
ard. Tuition will be $9 for the first term, to all en- 1
gaged in reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, ge- I
ography and history. All the higher branches of]
science and the languages, will be taught tor sls the
i first term —the second ih proportion.
Each student will be required to labour three hours '
1 each day, five and a halfdays in the week. The time
and kind of labour will be directed by the steward,
under the control of the Trustees ; and each student
will be expected to conform strictly to the regulations
;of the Institution. It will be expedient for each stu
dent to have coarse clothes to work in ; and it is de
sired that the wearing apparel of all should be plain ;
and cheap, that there may be as little distinction as
i possible, and that the principle of economy may be
fully carried into every department of the Institution.
As our Institution is in its infancy, and in want of ev
ery thing, any useful book, to aid in formhig a library,
mid liny implement for labour, or any s lit able article
. of furniture, that any friend may find it convenient to
: contribute, wiil be thankhilly received.

Military Encampment.
With a view to the prom tion of Military Science i
and the encouragement of Volunteer Corps, a system
of annual encampments is proposed. Arrangements |
are in progress, for an extensive Encampment in this
neighborhood to commence on Monday the 13th May ;
next ; in which all the Volunteer Corps of Infantry
in the state are respectfully invited to join us. The i
time proposed for the continuance of the Encampment
is one week A beautiful location has been selected,
commanding an extensive view of the town and sur-'
rounding country. An arrangement has been made
for the construction of comfortable Tents and Mar
quees, for the accommodation of as many Companies
as may come ; and a contract has been m ide with in
dividuals, who will act as sutlers and furnish the men
I with good board, on the ground, at seventy-five cents
: each per day. On the last day, an Encampment-Me
dal will be shot for. The first of this seriesof Encamp
ments took place near Macon, last spring, and was at
tended with much benefit to the Companies present.

mversal satisfaction. The frontispiece, respect
ung the Queen of belgium, is, at this juncture, pe
, ctiltary appropriate, and has much merit as a pic
j tore. The whole length of Napoleon is one of the
| specimmes of that style of engraving, which has
I ever been presented to the public, and reflects
high credit on the artist, Mr. Lubbren. The Mer
-1 maid ol Martin Meer, though of a different kind, is
no less excellent. Lord Byron’s beautiful stanzas
1 here is none of beaufic’s daughteis,” set to
music by an eminent composer, will be found in
this number. L. A. Godey & Co. take this op
portumty ot requesting agents to forward the sums
