Prospectus of a Neve Work to be entitled
GEORG f A IL LUST R ATE I),
"■ N a series of original pictures, on steel, with let-
X 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
ourown country.
The proposition to issue such a work, devoted to
the scenery of Georgia, although novel, will tind
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. Th'* upper counties abound in scenes,
which need only be known to command the admi
ration ol all who love the beauties of nature. —
Much of the scenery of the Noith is inferior to our
own, but is yet vEitcd by thousands simply because
it has been written sung an 1 ‘•■lionized," by au
thors and travellers until its beauly has become
universally known and appreciated. It is desirable
that attention should be directed to our own resour
ces of picturesque in natural scenery, and when
this is done, our own and Northern tourists will
speedily render our beautiful views as immortal as
our language.
The South is charged with general indiffeience
to the progress of Literature and Fine Arts; and
probably the strongest foundation for the charge is
found in her inaction in enterprise calculated to fos
ter these objects. The publication of the propos
ed work will it is believed, be an effective blow
at the foundation, a step towards the establishment
of our literary reputation, to which end much hon
orable elfort is now directed.
A third consideration and the last which will
now be urged, is (he 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 behold, but which, in either case,
would afford peculiar pleasure.
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, from oiiginal diawing, made ex
pressly for the purpose, by Mr. T. Addi-on Rich
ards, of Augusta. The engravings will be accom
cornpanied with letter press descriptions, prepared
for the work, and in this department the editor
will secure, as far as possible, the assistance and
co-operation ol our best writers. In short, no pains
will be spared to make thd work a perfei t gem of
the kind, to the end that it may meet a welcome
reception not only at home but also abroad.

MOFFAT’S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES
medicines are indebted for their name.
Jl to tin ir manitest and sensible action in puri
fying she spring and channels ot hie, ami enduing
• them with renewed tone and vigor. In many 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-
I nowledged by the persons benefiitted, and who
were previously unacquainted with the beautifully
philosophical principles upon which they are
compounled. and upon which they «onsequent!y
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases of every form and description. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coals of the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities eon tantly settling around them ; and to
remove the hardened faeces which collect
convolusions of the smallest intestines. Other
medicines only pariially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costiveness with j 11 its train ofevils.or in a sud
den diarrhoea, with its eminent dangers. This fact
is well known to all 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 pi rsons. ’I he se-.
cond effect of the Life Medicines is lo cleanse l lie
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. The blood, w hich takes its red color from
the agency of the liver and the lungs before it
passes into the hen r, being tnus purified by them j
and nourished by food coming from a clean stom- 1
ach, courses free!}’ ih.ougli the \eins, renews every |
part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the j
banner of health in the blooming cheek.
Moffat’s Vegetable Life Medicine j have been i
thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign
remedy lor Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of
the Heart, Lossot Appetite, Heart-bora and Head
ache, Restlessness, ill-temper, Anxiety, Languor
and Melancholy, Cosliveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera,
Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies
of all kind. Gravel, Wouns, Asthma and Consump
lion, Scurty, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic
Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive com
plaints, Sallow, Cloudy’, ami 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 j
Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni
versally prescribe them.
All thal Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is
to he particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly :
according to the directions, it is not by a news
paper nonce, or any thing that he himself may say
ui their favor, that he hopes to gam credit. It is
alone by the resul. of a fair :rial.

VOUS AND 8>1( K HEAD At 'll E, lias the saiis
loctionto make known, lha. he has a remedy which
by removing tfie causes cures effectually and perma
nently this distressing complaint 'There are many
families who have considered s>ick Headache a con
stituiional incurable family complaint- Dr. 8. as
sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which mey might not only alleviate
but actually eradicated by the us »fhi s remedy.
It is lhe result of scientific research,and is entirely
of a different character Irom advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant to the inste.
HEADACHE, Sit K OK NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr Spohn’s
remedy for this distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter ot much astonishment.
That so much suffering should have existed Tor ages
without any discovery ot an effectual preventive, or
cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. S.
now assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will c onvince the most credulous. The
principles on which it acts are simple and plain, it is
an a mined feet that this complaint, whether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach—those who think ihey have
I lie Nervous Headache may rest assured that this
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th a sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, liuougli ihe
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expect s restoration of the naiural and
healthy functions ot 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 wiih die headache become
convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end
in restoration ol health, Dr. Spohn pledges his
professional reputation on this fact. Tne remedy
may he had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United States.

self to prepare youth for Franklin College, or any

minor branches of Mathematics, and should a suffi
i cient patronage be extended to him, he could secure
I 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
i Academies in this State during a period of ton
years, and begs leave to refer, if necessary', to Col.
; Thomas N. Hamilton of Athens, and the Rev.
1 Juriah Harris, before whom he had been examined
by r a classical gentleman of the North, before he
| could be admitted to take the Rectorship of tne
■ Columbia County Academy, which he had for three
years. Should a class of eight or ten young men
j be found, be could devote two hours to their in
