Prospectus of a' New Work to be entitled
GEORGIA ILLUSTRATED,
IN a series of original pictures, on steel, with let
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
our own country.
The proposition to issue such a work, devoted to
the scenery of Georgia, although novel, will find
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. The upper counties abound in scenes,
which need only be known to command the admi
ration of all who Jqvc the beauties of nature. —
Much of the scenery! of the North is inferior to our
own, but is } - et visited by thousand* simply because
it has been written \sung an 1 “ lionized ,” by au
thors and travellers {until its beauty has become
universally known and appreciated. It is desirable
that attention shoukj be directed to our own resour
ces of picturesque it,; natural scenery, and when
this is done, our owe: land Northern tourists will
speedily render our tleautiful views as immortal as
our language. |
The South is chart-jed with general indiffetence
to the progress of Literature and Fine Arts; and
probably the strongest foundation for the charge is
found in her inaction jin enterprise calculated to fos
ter these objects. Tiie publication of the propos
ed work will it is believed, be an effective blow
at the foundation, a st ep towards the establishment
of our literary reputation, to which end much hon
orable effort is now |irectcd.
A third consideration and the last which will
bow be urged, is the 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 belji<rld,but which, in either case,
would afford peculiar [-Measure.
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, froml original drawing, made ex
pressly for the purposb, by Mr. T. Addi-on Rich
ards, of Augusta. The engravings will be accom
companied with letccl press descriptions, prepared
for the work, and in [this department the editor
will secure, as far as ifiossible, the assistance and
co-operation of our heist writers. In short, no pains
will be spared to mak<| thd work a perfect gem of
the kind, to the end tii.it it may meet a welcome
reception not only at llome but also abroad.

MOFFAT’S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES
UJAHESE medicines are indebted for their name
L »o tin ir manilest and sensible action in puri
fying the spring and channels ol file, and enduing
them with renewed tone and vigor. In manv 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
knowledged by the jiersons benefiitted, and who
were previously unacquainted with the beautifully
philosophical principles upon which they are
compounfed, and upon which they consequently
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases of every form and description. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coals ol the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities con tantly settling around them ; and to
remove the hardened faeces which collect
convolusions of the smallest intestines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as lo produce habitu
al costiveness with till its train of evils, or tn a sud
den diarrhoea, with its eminent dangers. This fact
is well known to nil 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 p< rsons. Ihe se-.
cond 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 oft he urinary
organs. The blood, which lakes its red color from
the agenev of the liver and the lungs before it
passes into the heaT, being thus purified by them
and nourished by food coming from a clean stom
ach, courses freely th.ougli the veins, renews every
part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the
banner of health in the blooming cheek.
Moffat’s Vegetable Life Medicines have been
thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign
remedy lor Dyspepsia, Hatulency, Palpitation of
the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-born and Head
ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor
and Melancholy, Costiveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera,
Fevers of all kinds. Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies
of all kind. Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consump
tion, Scur%), Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic
Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive com
plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable
Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Common
Colds and influenza and various other complaints
which afflict the huniar frame. In fever and
ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been
most eminently successful; so much so that in the
Fever and Ague districts, 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 thirg that he himself may say
in their lavor, that he hopes lo gain credit. It is
alone by the resuT of a lair trial.
MOFFAT’S MEDICAL MANUAL ; designed
as a domestic guide lo health.—This little pamphlet
edited by W. B V]offal 375 Broadway New York,
has been published for the purpose of explaining
more fully Mr. Moffat’s theory ol diseases, arm w ill

causes thereof. Price 25 cents —lor sale by Mr

VOUS AiND SICK HEAD ACHE, has thesatis-
Ibction lo make known, tha. he has a remedy w hich
by removing the causes cures effectually and perma
nently this distressing complaint. There are many
families who have considered Sick Headache a con
stitutional incurable lumiiy complaint- Dr. S. as
sures them that they are mi.-iaken, and labouring
litioer distress which imy might not only alleviate
but actually eradicated by the us if'his remedy.
It is the result of scientific research,and is entirely
of a different character from advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant to the inste.
HEADACHE, Sit K OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr Spohn’s
remedy for this distressing compaintis every day
gaining is certainly a matter ofmuch astonishment,
That so much suffering should have existed forages
w ithout any discovery of an effectual preventive, or
cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. S.
now assures the public lhatsucha remedy has been
invented as will convince the most credulous. The
..nnciples on w hich it acts are simple and plain. It is
an a milled fact that tins complaint, whether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach—those who think they have
the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th a sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expect s restoration ol the natural and
healthy functions ol 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 with ihe headache become
convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end
in restoration ol health, Dr. Spohn pledges his
professional reputation on this fact. 'The remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United States.

Often have the cures performed by tliis medicine

be asserted, that no me heme of the kind has ever

THE subscriber wil continue his School at the

that the distance to his place will not be an objec- j

ly disposed to patronize him. He will pledge him
‘ self to prepare youth for Franklin College, or any
other College in the Union, in Classics and in tne
minor branches of Mathematics, and should a sutti
cient patronage be extended to him, he could secure
the services of a gentleman of well known ability
in Mathematical science. In reference to the sub
scriber himself, he has had charge of Schools and
Academies in this State during a period of ten
years, and begs leave to refer, if necessary, to Col.
Thomas N. Hamilton of Athens, and the Rev.
Juiiah Harris, before whom he had been examined
by a classical gentleman of the North, bcfoie he
could be admitted to take the Rectorship of tne
Columbia County Academy, which he had for thiee
years. Should a class of eight or ten young men
be found, be could devote two hours to their in
stiuction each day, at a time that would not inter
fere with his School. There are three things con
nected with the Classics, which is almost, if not
totally neglected in our Southern Seminaries, viz :
Mythology, Latin Exercises, and Prosody, without
which the Scansion of Pentameter and Hexameter
Verse cannot be acquired.
The first quarter’s tuition will be required at
entrance, and the scholastic year will be the same
as that of the other Seminaries of the city.
At a future time should his patrons desire his
coming to a more convenient place, he will comply
with their wishes, it he meets witn sufficient pa
