Rf.**onabi,x RKB.urst.—The editor of the New York Sun begs that he will h? excused from the imputation of libel or calumny, when he pronounces the company doing business under the title of the “ North Hi ver Banking Company”, a villanous, swindling, gallows-descr'ing crew, for attempting to deceive the unwary and igno rant by their post notes, after a decision from the ice Chancellor that such issues were a fraud. Thk K X IGHTS OF M alta. —When th< Knights of St. John of Jerusalem were driven out of Rhodes by the Turks, in 1530, the Emperor Chaslcs V. bestowed upon them the small hut memorable Island of Malta. They were of noble birth—were under vows of celibacy, ami pledged to carry on war with the Infidels. Their number was unlimited: their grand master, eltc.ed for life, possessed the attributes of sovereign; their badge was a white cross of eight points worn on the left side ; their habits were black. A writer thus alludes to them in 1641; “ M alta is a seminary, wherein arc brought up the bravest sparks in Christendom, picked out of the most illustrious families. These persons know not what fear is; they have imposed upon themselves the necessity of vanquishing or dying: ujul there fore, they get the mastery of whatever. jhey at tempt ; and with those few vessels tbii-y have they make the Ottoman fleets tremble.! They wear a golden cro-s on their stomachs \ twhich is always dipped in the blood of the faithful Mus sulraeo.” These hardy warriors became luxu rious and effeminate : their discipline became re laxed ; their simplicity destroyed. In il|7Bß, the French found means to corrupt their chiefs, and made an easy conquest of a place wlj|ch once drew congratulations from every part i'if Chris tendom for deeds of valor, acted during- a four months’ siege ly the Turks. t\ jj “ His (Harrison’s) blundering conduct during the late war only exposed him to ridicule and contempt.” \ Thus spake the Jackson .Mississippi™ on the 18th ult. It never spoke again. The! next day the grave worms were battening upon its car case. Horrible banquet !— Prentice. ;' Or.D Bachklors —W© never could, jir the life of us, perceive why old maids should manifest such a morird antipathy lo old bachelors T&re is no reason in iheir wrath. ’Tis spiteful, crtjej and un called for- the trampling on a read already broken It is like flogging a cripple with his owrj; rrutchea because he is lame.

The undersigned propose to publish in Augusta, Ga. a weekly paper, to be entitled The Reformer, of extra imperial size, from the 10th of May to the 10th 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 TYdER, of Virginia, for \ ice 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 lo 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 hur 1 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. TERMS.

WE have heretofore numbered ourselves a mong those who believed that “Jayne’s Hair Tonic’ was one of the many quack nostrums whose virtues are never seen bei’ond the fulsome putFs of their authors. We are willing, at length, ' to make public acknowledgment of the error of our belief. An intimate friend, some two or three ; months since, all the top of whose cranium was as bald as a piece of polished marble .maugre ail our i jesting and ridicule of the idea o to i cultivate so barren a spot, purchased a bottle or two of the Hair Tonic from Dr. Jayne, and accord ing to his directions applied it. During the present week the same friend ushered himself into our j presence, and uncovering his hitherto naked head, astonished us with a thin, though luxuriant growth of hair, from one to two inches in length—upon the very premises we had believed as unyielding to cultivation as the trackless sand that skirts the At lantic. This is no puff, but is religiously true ; and to those who doubt, the gentle nan can be pointed out. What is more in favor of this “Tonic,” the case here cited was not ©ne of temporary baldness —no sudden loss of the hair —but was one of years’ standing, though the gentleman is but forty-five years of age. —Philadelphia Spirit of the Times October 21st, 1539. ’ This valuable remedy for the growth, preserva tion and restoration of the Hair, can be had of WM.

PEDIGREE. J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama, certifies as follows : —Tom Tunstall was sealed mine on the 29tb May, 1831. His dam was High land Mary and her dam n full-blooded Archie mare; the sire of Highland Mary was old PacoleL Tom Tunstall was sired by old Pacific, and he by old Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’ 1 am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as good a stock as any horse in the United States.— He was a race horse 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 1 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 Mary combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough breds than any mare ever raised in Tennessee.— She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of imported Citizen ; her dam Hosey Carey by Sir Archie ; grand-darn Sally Jones by the imported horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemainc, (son of O’Keller’s Eclipse, and one of the purest importations of the last century;) great grand-dam by the imported horse Wrangler; great-great-grand dara 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 Fearnought; great-great-great-great-great-grand-dam by Lee’s old Mark Anthony outof a marc by imported Mou key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none will require a purer or better attested pedegree!— If farther recommendation be wanted, call and see Tom WILLIAM HOLMES, Agent. feb 22 —trwficwtf FURNITURE AND PIANO 1-X)RTE WARE-HOUSE, No. 236 Broad street , Augusta, Georgia.
