The undersigned propose to publish in Augusta, Ga. a weekly paper, to he entitled The Reformer, of extra imperial size, from the 10th of May to the loth of November next, for One Dollar in advance. As its name indicates, it will be devoted exclusively to the cause of Reform, the elevation of WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, of Ohio, for President, and JOHN TYIER, of Virginia, for Vice President, and the subversion of the present Administration, —the necessity of reform in which is becoming every day more and more apparent.— It will observe a mild, dignified tone, and address itself to the common sense of every class of citi zens, for whose benefit it is designed. This Prospectus is issued under the impression that the friends of reform will make a united and zealous effort to give the paper a general circula tion, in short to send it to the house of every man who reads. The People want light, and if our friends will aid us in our work, we shall be able to counteract the thousand calumnies of the Van Buren presses, and carry the “war into Africa.”— In the language of a distinguished co-worker, “All we ask is to be heard by the people. It is for them we speak, and if we can get a hearing, we have no fears of the result,” even in Georgia. — “The people will vindicate their wrongs, and hurl their oppressors from office.” We ask the press throughout this and the ad joining States, to insert our Prospectus, and we especially invoke the friends of the cause to be vigilant in procuring subscribers and forward their names by mail as early as possible. The paper will contain nothing but leading mat ter, being entirely free from all advertisements, and is p aced at so low a price as to bring it within the means of every man.

PEDIGREE. J. R. 11. Acklin, F>q. of Huntsville, Alabama, certifies as follows : —‘ Tom Tunstall was foaled mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High land Mary .and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare; tne sire of Highland Mary was old PacoleL Tom Tunstall was sired by o'd Pacific, and he by old Sir Archie. This is as for as lam able to go, tho’ I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as good a stock as any horse in the United States.— He was a racehorse of the first order, but I lear will never be able to make a first rate race again, owing to his leg; it was injured when a. three year old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har dy Cryer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus : —“ Highland Maiy combined as many or more rich crosses of thorougn breds than any maic ever raised in Tennessee.— She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir Archie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported ■ horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine, (son of O’Kelle; ’s Flclipse, and one of the purest importations of the last century;) great grand-dam by the imported horse Wrangler; great-great-grand dam O’Possum by imported Shark; great-great great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great great-great-grand-dam by imported F'earnaught; great-gicat-groat-great-great-grand-dam by Lee’s old Matk Anthony out of a mare by imported Mou key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary to trace be3 - ond Sir Archie. It is presumed none will require a purer or better attested pedegree!— If farther recommendation be wranted, call and see To* WILLIAM HOLMES, Agent, feb 22 —trw&wtf FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD.

NOTICE TO I AM instructed by the Colonel to publish the following extract from the Militia i aws of this State now of force, for the information of all those against whom executions have been issued and are now outstanding, —and add that “ignorance of the law excuseth no man.” Prince’s Digest, pp. 604, Sec. 24, latter clause: —“And the commanding officer of Regiments or Battalions, upon receiving the affidavit of any de linquent, ( previous to the issuing of execution J properly attested by any officer aulhorized to ad minister the same, and showing good cause why ho should not have been fined, may direct the Clerk to stay the issuing of Execution until the sitting of the succeeding Court, when said affidavit shad be laid before the Court, who may, upon the merits thereof, remit or continue said fine, and direct that it be collected forthwith. “And the Clerk shall immediately after the ex piration of thirty days, (that is, after the sitting of the Court) issue executions against each de linquent who has failed to pay the fine assessed against him, or to file the affidavit hereinbefore re quired, signed by himself and countersigned by|the presiding officer of the Court.or in his absence by any other officer who was a member of the Court, and directed to the Provost Marshal of the Regi ment. * * Who shall proceed to collect the same under the same rules and regulations in re gard to Constables’ Sales generally ; and such ex ecutions shall have the same dignity as though they had been issued by a Justice of the Peace,” * * ♦ It frequently so happens that individuals (de faulters) neglect to atten 1 Courts of Inquiry, to render in their excuse." or absence from parade; they also neglect to file with the Clerk their affi davit, according to law. And yet, when the col lecting officer calls on them to settle their fines, they plead some trifling excuse. Now, this is to notify all such, that a’ter the ex piration of 30 days after the sitting of any Court ■ of Inquiry, no excuse can be rendered, nor will any be accepted, unless made according to the requisi tions of the law as above published. lam also instructed to state that J. H. Clarke, Esq. has been appointed Provost Marshal of the Regiment. Ex ecutions have been placed in his hands, with in structions to enforce the law rigidly. JOHN S. HUTCHINSON, May 11,1840. Clerk 10th Regiment. MOFFAT’S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINE*? f i'HESE medicines are indebted for their name M. to tin ir manifest and sensible action in puri lying the spring and channels ot life, and enduing them with renewed tone and vigor. In manv hun dred certified cases which has been made public, and in almost ever} species ol disease to which the human frame is liable, the happy effects of MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AM) PHENIX BIT TERS have been gratefully and publicly nc l nowledged by the persons benefiiited, and who were previously unacquainted with the beau’ilully philosophical principles upon which they are i compounded, and upon which they eonsequently act. The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves in diseases ot every form and description. Their first operation is to loosen from the coats ol the stomach and bowels, the various impurities and crudities con-tantly settling around them ; and to remove the hardened faeces which collect in the convolusions of the smallest intestines. Other medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind as to produce habitu . al costivencss w ith ell its train ofevils. or in a sud j den diarrhoea, with its eminent dangers. This tact . is well known to ail regular anatomists, who ex . amine the human bowels after death ; and hen~e ’ the prejudice of those well informed men against quack medicines—or medicines prepared and her ’ aided to the public bv ignorant p« rsons. 'J he se eond effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse the 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. Theblocd, which lakes its red color from the agency of the liver and the lungs before it pa.s>es intolhe heat, being thus purified by them ’ and nourished by food coming from a clean atom- 4 ach, courses freely thiough the veins, renews every ! part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the 1 banner of health in the blooming cheek. Moffat’s Vegetable Life Medicines have been 1 thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign ■ remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-burn and Head i ache. Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor ami Melancholy, Cosliveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera, Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies of all kind. Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Constimp tion, Bcur\>, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive com , plaints. Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable , Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysi|«elus, Common Colds and influenza and various other complaints which afflict the human frame. In fever and ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been most eminently successful ; so much so that in the Fever and Ague dislncts, Physicians almost uni versally prescribe them. All that Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly according lo the directions. It is not by a news paper notice, or any thing that he himself may say in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is alone hy the resuh of a fair trial.
