EARTH-LIFE.
BY J. BAVARD TATLOR.
The breeze is blowing fresh and strong:
The rocking shallop chafes its chain,
And tire billows arc breaking in swells of song,
That call me forth to the deep again :
A fiery charger paws the sand";
A hound looks up with watching eye,
To scour the forest and valley land,
And hay with the winds on the mountain high !
Let horns be heard in the gray ravine,
And stormy songs from off the sea !
There’s blood in tny heart,where tears had been,*
And the blood of Youth is bold and free !
Leave, weary Soul, the hermit-lore
Which kept this arm from the Life of Earth
Lie dbwn to rest on the quiet shore,
While the dust, exulting, marches forth !
Thou hast wasted weak and pale, oh frame.
That once wert rtiJdy as the dawn !
But the Earth, thy mother, is filled with flame,
Whose sturdy warmth to thee has gone.
Thy locks shall toss on the mountain air—
Thy limbs shall cool in the sparkling brine;
She will brace thy nerves with her forest-fare,
And warm thy veins with generous wine !
Thy loins shall grow to a pard-like power,
On the wild slopes of craggy hills ;
Thou shall bare thy breast to the arrowy shower,
And catch in thine arms the icy rills :
Thy vigorous blood shall exult the same,
When fevered cares in the spirit start,
Asa pine, when the mountain is swathed in
flame,
Keeps green and fresh in his spicy heart !
Thou shalt go where the battle clarions blare, —
With the fierce, heroic rage of old ;
The lust of the soldier thy brow shall wear—
Thy heart shall swell like a banner’s fold.
In the shrieking hail thou shalt stnnd, my frame,
Nor shrink from the path of thine arm’s cm
ploy,
When the thews are steel and the veins are
flame,
And Death to thee is u terrible joy !
Then, tighten the girth and loose the rein !
Unleash the keen, impatient hound,
And deep in the seething foam again
Let every quivering oar he drowned I
We will rock on the ocean's solemn roll,
Or follow the charging music’s mirth,
And the vein's bright blood shall crown the
bowl
That brims for us with the Life of Earth !

Woman’s Love. —A man wholmilstrug
gled with a malignant disease, approached
that crisis in its stage on which his life
seemed to depend. Sleep, uninterrupted
sleep, might ensure his recovery. His
anxious wife, scarcely daring to breathe,
was sittingby his bed; her servants.fatigued
by constant watching, had all left her. It
was past midnight—a door was open for
air, she heard; in the stillness of the night,
a window open below stairs, andsoon after
approaching footsteps. A moment more
and aman with his face disguised, entered
the room. She instantly saw her husband’s
danger, and anticipating the design of the
unwelcome intruder, she pointed to her
hipsband, and pressing her finger upon her
lip t<» implore silence, held out to the
robber her purse and keys. To her
surprise, he look neither. Whether he
was terrified, or charmed by the courage
of her affection, cannot be known. He left
the room; and without robbing a house
sanctified by such strength of affection,
lie departed.
Curious Bill. —The following bill for
work done in repairing the ornaments,of
the Lutheran Church at Hamburg, is sairl
by a traveller to have been presented for
payment:
For mending the ten commandments.
For a nose and three fingers to one of
the robbers on the cross.
For scouring and brushing Pontius Pi
late.
For guilding and painting the wings of
the angel Gabriel.
For half a breast for Mary Magdelen.
For cleansing aud painting tho High
Priest’s maid, and adding color to her
cheeks.
For putting anew feather in the cock
ade of St. Peter.
For beautifying and ornamenting some
of the elders, and strengthening their
backs on frames.
For supplying one of the apostles.
Thf, Bible.—The Rev. Mr. Turnbull,
in a recent discourse on the law of revo
lutions, says : “The Bible for more than
a<thousand years has gone hand in hand
with civilization, science and law. It has
never been behind the age ; nay, it has al
ways gone before it, like the pillar of fire
before Israel in the wilderness. Its great
principles of order, submission and free
dom, have been the stability of States.
Its very presence among them has been a
saving ark, a refuge, and a rest. How
far, even beyond the present time,
gleams the light of that wondrous book
which describes and promises true free
dom and fraternity, that divine and univer
sal brotherhood, of which the nations onlv
•Jream. In a word, the Christian Revela
tion is the true salt of the earth, the vital
fbree of communities and States. It alone
regenerates while it preserves, preserves
while it regenerates. There never, says
Lord Bacon, was found in any age of the
world, either religion, or law, that did
»o highly exalt the public good as the Bi
ble.”

PROSPECTUS
OF
Thp€rll sa<l c •
riXIIE undersigned have adopted the above,as
1 the significant title of a Monthly Paper,
which with sufficient encouragement, they pro
pose to publish in tlie City of Macon, to he de
voted to the interests of Temperance, Educa
tion and Religion.
The plan of this work was first suggested, in
view of the 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 flourish
ing “Order.” We believe that a Divine agency
is manifest in the startling progress and triumphs
ofthisgreat moral organization. It is God’s
work. He 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, ns the handmaid of the Church, the
harbinger of Religion—“preparing the way ofthe
Lord.”
We shall spare no pains to make TIIC
Crusader 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, payable on the ]
delivery ofthe first number. The Second Num
ber will in no case he sent to a subscriber unless
the subscription price shall have been forwarded
previously to the time of its issue.
Persons acting ns agents will receive ten per
cent, upon nil amounts remitted. Upon tlie re
ception of twenty cash subscribers, the agent
shall also he entitled to a copy of the work as 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 be pledged, at
the earliest possible date, as it is our wish to
make our first issue by the l Ist of February, if
the requisite patronage can he secured.
Editors who may beffriendly to’he enterprise,
will oblige us by giving this Prospectus an inser
tion, and if desired they siiaii receive an u.vtiu
copy of The Crusader.
Communications may be addressed to either
of the Editors.

Georgia-Bihb County.
To the Honorable Inferior Court of DM County:
The undersigned in obedience to your request,
has carefully examined the Books and Papers
showing the indebtedness of the County of Bibb,
and he is happy to state that he finds that the
County is aide to pay all its debts.
Since September, 1847, there lias been paid
and cancele'd, County Orders amounting to the
sum 0f19,477 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 w hat has become of liis money paid to
the Tax Collector.
The indebtedness of the County as shown from
the Clerk's Books, is $2,546 20
Assets which can be made available, 2,639 00
Excess in favor ofthe County, $92 80
This may approximate to the true amount, but
I regret to add liiatit is not altogether reliable.
In some instances Orders marked “paid” on the
Bill hook, arc yet in circulation, and some Or
ders arc in circulation that have never been
entered on the Clerk’s books. I would respect
fully suggest that anew set ofßooks he opened
and that after the amount now due the County
is applied in extinguishment ofoutstanding debts
that all persons holding Orders, if there should
be any, present them to this Court and secure in
lieu thereof, County Scrip, redeemable in Taxes,
and that all Orders issued hereafter be redeemable
in Taxes, and so expressed iu the face thereof
This would give the County a good credit and
enable it to obtain labor and materials at fair
prices. T. B. STUBBS,
Attorney for Bibb County.

TIIE GLOBE :
.1 Congressional, Agricultural and Literary
JS'ewspaper.
riAHE Editors of the Congressional Globe pro
.l. pose anew publication. To deserve the
patronage which Congress has accorded to their
reports ofits 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, embodying the re
ports of Congress separate from the miscellaneous
matter which will accompany them in the daily
print. To fill the sheet ofthe 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, Iftating of such sub
jects, will be consulted, and, it is hoped, advan
tageously used. Original essays, especially on
topics connected with agriculture, will he 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 F rancis F. Blair
and James C. Pickett. The Congressional
department and business concerns ofthe paper
will he under the management of John C. 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 he 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 his di
plomatic service while connected with the mis
sion toCinito ; and more recently when Charge
d'Affaires to Peru. From iiis pen mainly the
Globe will derive the selections and translations
from the F’rench journals and periodicals, the
comments on them, and the other literary articles
which will be found among its oiiief attractions:.
The Globe will be published daily during the
session ofCongress, and Weekly the balance of
the year, and will undergo distribution in the
form of a Weekly Globe, a Congressional Globe
and an Appendix.
The Weekly Globe will he the vehicle of the
miscellaneous articles of the daily print, with a
synopsis of the Congressional proceedings.
Thu Congressional Globe will embody, ns it
has done for the last sixteen years, Congression
al pioeeedings and debates exclusively.
The Appendix will embrace the revised
speeches separately, and the messages of the
President of the United States, and the reports
ofthe Heads ofthe 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
lour 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 he found in
the Congrossiohal reports. A paper assuming
to he an impaitial vehicle for all sides, cannot
maintain its character if the editorial columns
reflect a party hue. The Editors of the Globe
have borne tlieir share iu 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
Hie recess,) a year, : : $5 00
For one copy of the Weekly Globe, one year, 2 00
For one copy ofthe Congressional Globe,
during the next session, if subscribed
for before the first day of January, 1
For one copy of the 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
be $1 50. The original price of One Dollar
docs not pay the expenses ofthe publication iu
consequence of the great increase of matter pub
lished.
Our prices for these papers arc so low that we
cannot afford to credit them out ; therefore no
person need consume time in ordering them,
unless the subscription price accompanies the
order. . BLAIR & RIVES.

PROSPECTUS
OF TIIE
SOUTHERN MUSEUM.
A Weekly Paper, published in Macon, Ga.
WKT IIIEST the Paper will hear principally a
VI Literary character, we shall endeavor to
make it useful and interesting to all classes of the
community, by rendering it a disseminator of
the latest intelligence—an advocate of virtue
—and a censor of vice. In pursuing the plan
de.ermined upon the following will comprise
the leading departments of the Paper, which
we hope wi.l 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 politics,
we shall be content with presenting to our
readers the result of elections, nominations,
proceedings of conventions, of both the
groat parties that now divide the country, so fir
as they may he deemed of public interest.
Our columns will be open to the discussion of
any subject connected with the public good—
excluding, however, all scurrilous or merely par
tizan communications.
Commercial. —Under this head will he 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
he traversed and every avenue pursued, that can
he thought to lend to those sacred retreats, where
Literature loves to hide hcrsolffrom 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, arid no efforts will be
spared to ff uke"-aw 1 --ftiijiiif "fineresting" to tire
F’ariner.
General Intelligence. —ln this department
will he found a general synopsis of the 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 proceedings of
our State Legislature, whilst in session. In fine,
whatever will have a tendency to develope 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 iu which wo live, shall meet with
our ardent and humble support.
Holding these views, thus cursorily glanced
at, we seek the patronage of the Merchant—the
Alechanic—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.

Asa Family Magazine, the Editor is confident
that no rivalry can affect, or opposition lessen its

Dr. IV. W. Marshall,
OULD respectfully inform all persorig sf.
» v flirted with Cancer, Fistula, \l ens, and
a 1 ulcers and tumors, originating Irom wli at so
ever cause, ttiat lie is permanently located in
the city of Alucon, where lie may l»e found
both summer and « inter. Dr Al. would guard
the public against false reports, viz : that he
hud removed from Groigia—that he was dead,
or deranged in mind. It also appears that xonie
itinerant and other doctors, are making, or try
ing ro 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. Al. at last. Dr. M. deems it only
necessary to add, that hisformer and continued
success in the management of these diseases, is
conclusive evidence of the superiority of his
practice over all o'hcrs known in this, or any
other country. For the correctness of this as
sertion lie refers to his pamphlet on Uanc< r
&c., which may be obtain* and /gratis, by appli
cation to him by letter (post paid) or otherwise.
I’or the further encouragement of the afflicted
Dr. M. would just add, that on their arrival at
Alacon, they will have the tin 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 arc continual?
under treatment from various parts of th< Union
in every stage and variety ofthe complaints.
The treatment is without the use of the knife
or caustic, and is both constitutional and loegl.
