From the .Wje York Mercury.
Patent Lennon for the Week.
BV DOW, JR.
H aving returned, my friends, from i
Wiml-wliistle Island, l shall deliver a dis
course to you upon this text :
And what is friendship but a name,
A charm that lulls to sleep;
A shade that follows wealth and fame,
But leaves the wretch to weep.
My hearers—friendship with us civiliz
ed scoundrels consists of two kinds—the !
false and the true. Among the simple- i
minded an 1 honest Wind whistle Island |
barbarians, none but the true, genuine ar
ticle can be found. With them it is some
thing more than a name : it is ablest and
unfading reality'. Now, whether with
you. my friends, false or true friendship j
predominates, is a problematical matter ; I
but I am afraid there is a little too much
of the counterfeit in circulation. I call
you all “my friends,” for form’s sake, atul
for courtesy —I don't know as 1 have any
right to call you otherwise ; but my pri
vate opinion, here publicly expressed, is,
that if I were starving in the streets to
morrow, not one out of a hundred of you
would come voluntarily forward and bes
tow a paltry pittance wlieiewith to put a I
patch upon my poverty. A friend in need i
is a friend indeed, says the old saw. So !
he is—but there are so many friends in
need, who go about sucking sustenance
from wealth grown vanity, and exchang
ing flattery for food, that it is next to im
possible to investigate their individual
merits, and ascertain the true worth of
them all. Therefore, let all needy friends
go to (work) on their own hooks.
My brethren—friendship is certainly
hut little more than a name in a frigorific
world like this. It is not a passion, hut a
manufactured motive, made up of. shreds
and patches, to imitate the beautiful drape
ry of love. In the category of the Pas
fiions, we have Ambition, Anger, Despair,
linvy, Fear, Ilate, Hope, Jealousy, Joy,
Love, Melancholy, Pity, Pride, Revenge,
Remorse, Scorn, and Sorrow, —but no
Friendship ; that is a hibred —a nonde
script—a concoction to suit a variety of
purposes. It may sometimes be termed a
fledging of love, to turn to love itself as
soon as able to fly. ’1 lien it ;s no longer
friendship hut love—die same as a polly
vyog ceases to be a tadpole, and turns to a
frog, after Providence pulls bis tail off.
Mybearers— setting that sort of friend
ship aside which bangs to the skirts of
wealth and fume, let ns look at another
kind of the article. There is another kind
as much superior to it as the nectar of the
gods is superior to the three-ceii*, sword
fish brandy of a doggery. It is prompted
by no pecuniary consideration, swayed by
no selfish motive, and interrupted by no
adverse circumstances. It is the warm,
fresh milk of human kindness—a fellow,
nay, a brotherly feeling—a pure and ar
dent desire for another’s welfare. It is a
gem to be found in the casket of almost
every heart, but unfortunately it is too fre
quently buried beneath a mass of paste
and galvanized trumpery. Time, hovvev
er, will cring it to light. A poor culprit
upon the gallows may give you good and
timely advice ; receive it and be benefit
tod. Don’t distrust him, for he has no
thing to make out of you. What he says
flows spontaneously from his bosom’s fresh
flowing fountain, and should receive your
most solemn consideration. Though a
murderer and a wretch, lie is still your
friend, or he wouldn’t have said that. Let
not his words, so prolific of good, fall
blighted upon a barren soil! 1, too, fur
nish you with discourses rather than with
dollars— because I bepeve they are better
for you. Ihe woof is spun from the wool
of friendship, and woven in the loom of
love. 1 ako my advice—perchance a
fool s nevertheless a friend’s advice. 1
ask nothing for it beyond my regular sala
ry—which is, the kind wishes of you all
and the love of every pretty woman. Yes,
take my advice. Be virtuous, if you would
he happy—be temperate, if you would en
joy health—be honest, if you would be
respected—be industrious if you would be
prosperous—and be pious if you expect to
get to heaven much ahead of the heathen.
If any of you have pursued the path of
vice so far that the prospect begins to look
dubious beyond, melancholy around, and
bilious behind, strike out anew track at
once. Work your way out, and look up
on the world at once in all its pristine
beauty and loveliness. Reform, immedi
ately—it is never too late—not with you
men, who go to the devil by degrees. But
alas ! I cannot say so much for woman !
When she falls, she falls
Like a liousc a-firc, to rise no more !
Y oung man !—lis'en to the words of
tme and disinterested friendship, no matter
whence they emanate ; whether from the
hole that leads to my heart and stomach,
or from the mouths of those'whom you es
teem above all other earthly friends. If
you have brought sorrow upon those who
are near and dear to you, and dipped your
own soul in disgrace by a licentious course
of folly and dissipation, pause and reflect.
Resolve to reform and be firm.in the res
olution. Take friendly advice—receive it
as though it came from a brother—from
one whose very being is identified with
your own—whose happiness is inseparate
ly entwined with yours—and who is so
bound to you by the strong chain of affec
tion, that if you persist in going to perdi
tion, you will, to say the least, drag him
into an un-get-out-able quagmire of misery.
Perhaps, in your reckless career, you
iavc involved yourself in pecuniary per-'
p exiiies. If some kind friend should step
lor ward and cancel every obligation— set
you upon your feet again, and open the
way for you to prosperity, respectability
anil honor—then, I say, if you have a sin
gle spark of feeling left glowing in your
bosom, you will not, cannot, be guilty of |
base ingratitude, by trifling with such fond, 1
fraternal friendship. Y’oung man ! take I
wholesome advice, I repeat, from any one.
There are only two ways about it : one is,
go on iu your thoughtless course, gather
ing here and there a flower, amid innumer
ab'e thorns, thistles and brambles—push
ahead into deeper thickets arid still more
moles!ing briars, hoping soon to get a
sight of the fair fields of Flysium ; hut be
fore you know it you will run against that
same old stump, encountered by thous
ands before you, which can neither be got
round nor moved out of the way. Per
ish, then, you must, and rot, where pity
'never shed a tear; die, even as the fool
dieth ! The other is, to abandon the evil
course at once—change your moral gar
ment—hold up your head among the vir
tuous, sober and respectable; and be both
| an ornament and a useful member of soci
ety. Pure peace and pleasure are, of
j course, the natural concomitants. Don’t
fear—you will be welcomed back, and
warmly received. The Good 15‘ ok says,
“ there is more joy in heaven over one sin
ner that repeuteth, that ninety and nine
who need no repentance.” So there is
here, and in any one of heaven’s little pro
vinces. Such are the words of unadulter
ated friendship. 1 sow them gratuitously
that others may reap. So mote it be !
PROSPECTUS
OF
The Crusader.
riMIE undersigned have adopted the above, as
M the significant title of a Monthly Paper,
which with sufficient encouragement, they pro
pose to publish in the City of Macon, to bo do
voted to the interests of Temperance, Educa
tion and Religion.
The plan of this work was first suggested, in
view of tin: rapidly growing numbers within the
ranks of the Sons of Temperance, and the in
creasing demand for light, touching the objects
and movements of this benevolent and flourisli
ing“Order.” We believe that a Divine agency
is manifest in the startling progress and triumphs
of this groat moral organization. It is God's
work, lie is now summoning his “embattled
hosts” for a crusade against the greatest foe that
ever scourged the earth. Temperance, there
fore, will stand prominent upon our banner.
But while we march under the “triple flag,’’
and solicit the patronage and fostering care of
“The Sons," yet, we shall claim the privilege
of striking some good blows for Education and
Religion. “The Order of the Sons,” we regard,
under God, us the handmaid of the Church, the
liarbiugeroflteligion—“preparing the way oftlie
Lord.”
Wo shall spare no pains to make Tllf*
Pl'lltUlder a work of standard merit ; to give
it a decided character for u efulness, and to
make it a work interesting to general readers.
CONDITIONS:
The Crusader will he issued in Month
ly numbers, containing Sixteen quarto pages
each, at One Dollar per annum, parable on the
delivery of the first number. The Second Num
ber will in no case be sent to a subscriber unless
the subscription price shall have been forwarded
previously to the time of its issue.
Persons acting as agents will receive ten per
cent, upon all amounts remitted. Upon the re
ception of twenty cash subscribers, the agent
shall also be entitled to a copy of the work ns a
bonus. It is especially desired that those who
may become agents, or may interest themselves
in obtaining subscribers, will act immediately,
and forward such names as may bo pledged, at
the earliest possible date, as it is our wish to
make our first issue by the Ist of February, if
the requisite patronage can he secured.
Editors who may bcjfrtendly to the enterprise,
will oblige us by giving this Prospectus an inser
tion, and if desired they shall receive an e.xtia
copy of The Crusader.
Communications may be addressed to either
of the Editors.

Georgia—Bibb County.
To the Honorable Inferior Court of Bibb County:
The undersigned in obedience to your request,
has carefully examined the Books and Papers
showing the indebtedness oftlie County of Bibb,
and he is happy to state that he finds that the
County is able to pay all its debts.
Since September, 1847, there has been paid
and canceled, County Orders amounting to the
5um0f512,477 27.
A plain record has been kept of the payment
of each Order and a copy in substance of each,
and by whom paid, is entered on the Minutes
of this Court, that every tax payer who wishes
can see what has become of his money paid to
the Tax Collector.
The indebtedness of the County as shown from
the Clerk's Books, is $2,546 20
Assets w hich can be made available, 2,639 00
Excess in favor of the County, $92 80
This may approximate to the true amount, but
I regret to add that it is not altogether reliable.
In some instances Orders marked “paid” on the
Bill book, are yet in circulation, and some Or
ders are in circulation that have never been
entered on the Clerk’s books. I would respect
fully suggest that anew set of Books be opened
and that after the amount now due the County
i9 applied in extinguishment of outstanding debts
that all persons bolding Orders, if tiiere should
be any, present them to this Court and secure in
lieu thereof, County Scrip, redeemable in Taxes,
and that all Orders issued liercafterbc redeemable
in Taxes, and so expressed in the face thereof
This would give the County a good credit and
enable it to obtain labor and materials at fair
prices. T. P. STUBBS,
, Attorney for Bibb County.

THE GLOBE :
A Congressional, Agricultural and Literary
.Yeicspaper.
THE Editors of the Congressional Globe pro
pose anew publication. To deserve the
patronage which Congress lias accorded to their
reports of its debates, in receiving and making
the Globe the official register, they intend to add
promptitude to whatever merit has hitherto re
commended the work. They will publish a
Daily Globe, to record the proceedings and de
bates as they occur ; and a Congressional Globe
periodically, as heretofore, embody ing the re
ports of Congress separate from the miscellaneous
matter which will accompany them in the daily
print. To fill the slice", of the daily newspaper,
it is designed to gather the news from all quar
ters, and complete the contents by drawing from
every source that may be of most interest among
literary novelties, and of greatest utility in scien
tific and practical works on agriculture. For
material, the leading journals and periodicals of
France and Great Britain, treating of such sub
jects, will be consulted, and, it is hoped, advan
tageously used. Original essays, especially on
topics connected with agriculture, will b« obtain
ed from the most enlightened and practical men
of our country.
The Globe, as a newspaper, and as a vehicle
of information and amusement in other respec’s,
will be under the charge of Francis I*. Blair
and James C. Pickett. The Congressional
department and business concerns oftlie paper
will be under the management of John U Rives.
The public are familiar with Blair and Rives as
connected with the press. In introducing Mr.
Pickett as one of the concern, they will be al
lowed to say a few words of him. He is a gen
tleman favorable known to the Government, for
talent and judgment which distinguished bis di
plomatic service while connected with the mis
sion to Quito ; and more recently when Charge
d’Affuires to Peru. From his pen mainly the
Globe will derive the selections and translations
from the French journals and periodicals, the
comments on them, and the other literary articles
which will be found among its chief attractions.
The Globe will be published daily during the
session of Congress, and Weekly the balance of
the year, and will undergo distribution in the
form of u Weekly Globe, a Congressional Globe
and an Appendix.
The Weekly Globe will bn the vehicle of the
miscellaneous articles of the daily print, with a
synopsis of the Congressional proceedings.
The Congressional Globe will embody, as it
lias done for the last sixteen years, Congression
al pi oceedings and debates exclusively.
The Appendix will embrace the revised
speeches separately, and the messages of the
President of the United States, and the reports
oftlie Heads oftlie Executive Departments.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will
he published as fast as the proceedings of Con
gress will make a number. Subscribers may ex
pect one number of each a week during the first
four weeks of a session, and two or three num
bers of each a week afterwards, until the end of
the session.
Nothing of a political party aspect will appear
in the Globe save that which will be found in
the Congressiobal reports. A paper assuming
to be an impartial vehicle for all sides, cannot
maintain its character if the editorial columns
reflect a party hue. The Editors of the Globe
have borne their share in the party conflicts of
the press They claim an honorable discharge
from the vocation. The Globe will inviolably
maintain the neutrality which its relation to
Congress imposes.
TERMS:
For one copy of the Daily Globe (daily during
the session of Congress, and Weekly during
the recess,) a year, : : $5 00
For one copy of the Weekly Globe, one year, 2 00
For one copy of the Congressional Globe,
during the next session, if subscribed
for before the first day of January, 1
For one copy oftlie Appendix during the
next session, if subscribed for before
the first day of January, : 1 00
For six copies of either the Congressional
Globe, or the Appendix, or part of both, 5 00
The subscription for the Congressional Globe
or the Appendix., after the Ist of January, will
he $1 30. The original price of One Dollar
does not pay the expenses oftlie publication in
consequence of the great increase of matter pub
lished.
Our prices for these papers are so low that we
cannot afford to credi; them out ; therefore no
person need consume time in ordering them,
unless the subscription price accompanies the
“order ftfcA IR -tir-RFVES.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
SOUTHERN MUSEUM.
A Weekly Paper, published in Macon, Ga.
WHILST tile Paper will bear principally a
Literary character, we shall endeavor to
make it useful and interesting to«ll classes of the
communin', bv rendering it a disseminator of
the’latest intelligence—an advocate of virtue
—and a censor of vice. In pursuing the plan
determined upon the following will comprise
the leading departments of the Paper, which
we hope \vi I carry the cheerfulness of knowl
edge and the light of truth wherever it is re
ceived.
General Politics. —Waiving all intention
of entering the arena of mere party polities,
we shall be content with presenting to our
readers the result of elections, nominations,
proceedings of conventions, See., of both the
great parties that now divide the country, so far
as they may be deemed of public interest.
Our columns will be open to the discussion of I
any subject connected with the public good—
excluding, however, all scurrilous or merely par
tizau communications.
Commercial. —Under this bend will be found
the latest statement of the prices of Cotton at
the various markets for that article—together
with a carefully corrected Weekly Review and
Prices Current of our own Market.
Literature and Science. —Every field will
be traversed and every avenue pursued, that ran
be thought to lead to those sacred retreats, where
Literature loves to hide herself from the common
gaze, that her labors may be rendered conducive
to the public good. Selections from the best
Literary Periodicals, both Foreign and Domes
tic, will be made—Original Correspondence
encouraged—Domestic Talent supported—and
Science and Learning shall always obtain the
sincere advocacy of this Press.
Agriculture. —Whatever may be deemed of
interest to those engaged in Agricultural pursuits,
shall have due attention, and no eflbrts will be
spared to n.nke our paper interesting to the
Fanner.
General Intelligence. —ln this department
will be found a general synopsis oftlie passing
events of the day. The ensuing Congress will
be one of unusual interest, we shall therefore
keep our readers advised of the movements of
that body—We shall also give the proceedingsof
our State Legislature, whilst in session. In fine,
whatever will have a tendency to develspe the
rich and varied natural resources of our State,
elevate the moral character of its citizens, or
promote the prosperity and happiness of the
community in which we live, shall meet with
our ardent and humble support.
Holding these views, thus cursorily glanced
at, we seek the patronage of the Merchant—the
M eclianie—the Scholar—and the Philanthropist,
in our undertaking; being satisfied in our own
mind, that they will receive an equivalent for
the patronage they may think proper to bestow.

being peculiarly American in sentiment and feel
ing, it gathers and embodies all the beauties of
the French, English and American Periodicals,
while discarding their follies and vices. Acorn
bination of the Encyclopedia, the Gazetteer, the
Quarterly Review, and the Weekly Newspaper,
it is yet separate and distinct from ail, but pos
sessing enough of their various qualifications to
commend itself to every reader.
The object of the Editor has been to give a
Three Dollar Magazine for one third price, and
a gla' ce at Holden’s will shew the result. Now
lie only asks the support of the community, and
in return ill give improvements as they are de
manded.
Now is the time to subscribe, as those sending
first will receive the first impressions of the En
gravings. The numbers can be furnished from
July, 1848, if wished by subscribers—that month
commencing the previous volume.

Dr. W. W. Jlarshall,
IIJOULD respectfully inform all persons af-
TT flirted with Cancer, Fistula, Wens, and
a I ulcers and tumors, originating trom whatso
ever cause, that he is permanently located in
the city of Macon, where he may be found
both summer and u inter. Dr M. would guard
the public against false reports, viz : that he
had removed from Georgia—that he was dead,
or deranged in mind. It alsoappcarsthat come
itinerant and other doctors, are making, or try
ing to make, the false impression that they
treated diseases precisely as Dr M. does, there
by misrepresenting him, and deceiving their
patients, some of whom, of late, have been
wofully imposed upon, and have been obliged
to visit Dr. M. at last. Dr. M. deems it only
necessary to add, that his former and continued
success in the management of these diseases, is
conclusive evidence of the superiority of liis
practice over all o'liers known in this, or any
other country. For the correctness of this as
sertion he refers to his pamphlet on Cancer,
ike., which may be obtain'd gratis, by nppli
cation to him by letter (post paid) or otherwise.
For the further encouragement of the afflicted
Dr. M. would just add, that on their arrival at
Macon, they will have the m st abundant tes
timony in favor of the utility of the treatment,
by having access to those who have been made
whole, and also to those who are continuaUy
under treatment from various parts of tie Union,
in every stage and variety of the complaints.—
The treatment is without the use of the knife,
ior caustic, and is both constitutional and local,
