    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\

“ 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. Few men are htjiheloi# of
their own free will. Go to the veriest mjwanthropo
among them,and ask him of his h s ory, dnd he will
tell jou of the unfbrgoitt n hours of his ijafly ass c
lions ; and his eye will light up again wif |h| tu won
tad energy, as ho CattM the story ofhH : love, for
one who had proved faithless, nr whnseljtiffe ‘ftons
were repressed by the rude hand of arijiilra-y au
thority, or wiiohad gone down to the c |t*tirch yard
—a beautiful bud plucked from the. Being,
la open and expand in a brighter and holier sun
sliine, where no worm eoulu knaw at ijis bosom,
and no blighting descend upon if. J
Talk not to us oft ho sorrows of old limits ! They
are light ns air in comparison to those off bachelors
--the patter of the sm 11 rain t > the ovr ,4« helming
of tne dt-luge. Old maids c m enmmuny together,
and mingle in the charities and kindly (jJTteer, and
sympathies of existence. Ir is not so-With the
bachelor. He has no home—h ’hn no s*ppy firc
sidt—no child to a«k h'i hh esing n|r; beautiful
creature of smiles and gentle tunc to v. Income his
coining, and melt away the tr-nmess ujscare with
the warm kiss of affection- -no patient hkatcher at
his couch of sickness Mealing with u leashed and
gentle step around him, like the Vissarion of n
spirit. True—his sorrows are s tmewhalf of a nega
live character. Cut what is it save posjnxe agony,
for him to gave, all bis life long, upon the Paradise
of Matiimony, like n hall starved school-boy upon
the garden whose enclosure he cannot s*iile ?

PROSPECTUS OF
THE REFORMER.
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.

JAYNE’S HAIR TONIC.
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

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!—
