SCTTZEP.IT ICTSBTIg.' From Graham's Magazine. 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 ! *Mon occur, ail lieu do sang, ne roule que des larincs. Lamartine. 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.” City Officers. Mayor, GEORGE M.

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.

Ist Monday, Baker Jefferson 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.

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. .

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. CONDITIONS! The Southern Museum will bo 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.

A com bination of the Encyolopmdia, the Gazetteer, the Quarter!y*lieview, and the Weekly Newspaper, it is yet separate and distinct from all, but pos sessing enough oftheir various qualifications to commend itself to every reader.
