SCggagßiar ICTSSITM. 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. W. H. ELLISON, E. H. MYERS, J. R. THOMAS, G 11. HANCOCK. Macon, December 30, 1818. THE NEW YORK Saturday Evening mirror.

Ist Monday, Baker Jefferson 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.

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.

Trv us and see. 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. CONDITIONS! The Southern Museum will be published in the city of Macon, Ga., every Saturday morn ing, on an Imperial sheet, and delivered in the City or forwarded by Mail to any part of the Union, at Two Dollars per annum, payable on the receipt of the first number If payment be delayed Six Months Two Dollars and Fiktv Cents will be exacted—and Three Dollars will be invariably required from all who fail to pay within the year.

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.
