BRUNO & VIRGINS take this oppor
tunity to correct a false statement which has
been made ill two of the Columbus papers, viz :
•‘That Mr. Hem, when he gave his Concerts
here, had used and preferred a Duron and Raven s
Piano to all others in this city' —liy which the
advertiser intends to make the public believe
that Benin & Raven's Pianos are superior to
Nunns & Ciaik's and Cliiekering’*, which we
ke,: P- , , .
\V# deem it due to our customers and the pub
lie generally, to say, that -Mr. ilerz first called
on us (with Mr John Forsyth) and wanted one
of Chickering's S<ttn octuce Pianos ; we had
sold the last one of this kind two days before the
arrival of Mr Hers, toagent'eioan of Columbus.
Mr. Ilerz wished us to see the gentleman mid
get (lie instrument for hint —which we refused
to do, for reasons that we explained to him
Knowing that Mr. Herz’s Concert Music is ar
ranged for Seven octave Pianos, we said to him
that “perhaps Mr. Reps could accommodate him
with a seven octave Piano, which he did 80
it happened that Mr. Herz accidentally g"t the
use of a Bacon A- Raven’s Piano instead of
Chickering's, which lie prefcired. Mr John
Forsyth, Who was with Mr. Ilerz, can testify to
the above statement.
Mr. Herz has always preferred Chickering's
and.Sunns D Clark’s Pianos. When ho gave
his Concerts in liostnn, lie used a Chickering's
grand Piano, and left his own at the Hotel.
And hr. ought to know.
There is now in this city one of Nunns A
Clark’s splendid Grand Piano Fortes, w liicli was
purchased last summer for §*1.(100, and was se
lected by an eminent Professor of .Music ; at the
same time Nunns A Clark received an order for
one at $1,600 ! In a Boston paper wo read an
account of a Piano made by Cliiekering for the,
Hon. Caleb Cushing, for $‘2,000! (or $2,200,
we forget which ) This is the truth, und no
“upper-ten” humbug.

To the Public.
The Proprietor of the above establishment,
having been accused in last week's Democrat,
by Messrs. Bruno A Virgins, of making a “false
statement” in regard to Mr Harz's selection of
a Bacon A Raven Piano, all persons who take
sufficient interest in the matter (that lias remain
ed undisputed for the last two years,) are res
pectfully requested to read the following corres
pondence and judge for themselves, who has
made a “false statement."
C LUMBUS, G.v, 10th Jan , 1649.
John Forsvth— Dear Sir —l take the liberty
to hand to you an advertisement of Messrs Bruno
A Virgins, in ona of the latu city papers, in
which I am accused of making a “false slate
mom,” and to support which accusation your
tiame is cited as a witness
Will you do me the favor to state your recol
lection of the transaction referred to ? Very
respectfully CHARLES REPS.
COLUMBUS, Jan. 29, 1649.
Mr. Charles Reps— Dear Sir— In reply to
vour note of yesterday, i have to regret lital
Messrs. Bruno A Virgins have called on me to
testify in a matter of difference between you ; at
least without consulting my recollection of the
facts lam cited to prove. Had they consulted
me, I should not now have to say, that the testi
mony of my recollection does not support thoir
“correction of a false statement."
The facts aro simply, that at tho request of
Mr. Hers, I went with him to both establish
ments—yours and Messrs Bruno A Virgins’—
and after trying several instruments in each, he
selected a “Bacon A Raven,’ 1 from yours ; and
not because it was a “seven octave’’ (for it was
a six octave,) but, as I understood him, because
he preforred it. Respectfully, yours,etc.

FZ/.ITC FORTIES,
For Male Du BKU’NO A VIKUIAS.
t| O THE PUBLIC.— It is with reluctance
J that we feel ourselves called upon to ex
pose some of the “hiimhuggery” w Inch has for
some time past been attempted upon the public
credulity, by a rival dealer, in the sale of Piano
Forte* in tins city. He lias, however,provoked
the exposure by hi* clap-trap devices to gam
business at the expense of bis competitors, and
is therefore eutiiled to that notice which we pro
pose to bestow upon him.
In the m.itter at issue concerning Mr. Herz’s
choice of a Piano, we are not at all surprised that
Air Forsyth does not ezeictiy recollect the cir
cmn lances as tin y occurred in otir store, inas
much as ii was ol little or no importance to him
at all. He. w ill therefore ext use us for depend
ing rather upon our ecr/uin recollections of an
incident w Inch was important enough to make
an impression upon our mind, ban upon Ins im
perfect recollection of tho same, even had We
no reason to suspect a bias of mind on his part
ill favor tis the man who is his teacher in instru
mental music. \\ liether the Piano used by Mr
lletz while here was a six or sev eu octave, is not
very material. It was one chosen by Inin eefter
he had failed to gel one of Chickering's seven
octave instruments from us, and which he was
most anxious to get through our means, we hav
ing sold the last of that kind a few days before
to a gentleman of this city. For further proof
that Mr 11. was not satisfied with the instru
ment of which Mr. Reps makes such boast, Mr.
iiivori (llerz'g partner) tlie next morning alter
their concert, spoke of its performance in a very
different light from that represented in the ad
vertisement of Mr. Reps. We can also prove bv
our elerk, then with us, that Air. Ilerz did not
sit down and try our instruments, but played
wi h one hand on a German Piano which stood
in t lie front part of our store, ai tl which we af
ter some time opened for the gentleman 1 From
lie company with w hom lie t ame into the store,
we knew that a preference would be given loan
instrument from Mr. Reps' establishment, if one
could there be obtained near equal to any we
then had on hand, and therefore we advised Air.
Ilerz to go to Air. Rips, which lie nccoroingly
did. But it is idle for Mr. Forsyth or Air. Reps
to say that Air. Ilerz did not first seek one of
I 'bickering's seven octave Pianos, before putting
tip with the six octave he afterwards used. If
our competitor's willing witness “understood”
Mr. Ilerz to ''prefer" the one used, before all
others, why solicit from ns the use of one of
Cbiekenng sseven-oetaves, at all—and why re
quest us to get for him the use of the one vve
had just sold ? The public enn answer these
questions to their own satisfacrion.
Having thus disposed of this small matter, we
proceed o notice a few of the “tricks” of which
our competitor has been guilty, since he com
menced his present business in this city.
1 A gentleman lik-d a Foreign Piano which
was in our store, and mentioned the fart to Air.
Reps. The latter told him that vve had sold
one exactly like that to Mr. Forsyth, who had
used it only a year or two, and was then willing
to sell it for half price t Now, Air. Reps never
*avv the Piano which was in our store, and lie
has shewn Ins ignorance fiv say ing that a Piano,
with .he English (most durable) action, such as
lint was, was exactly like the one of the Vienna
(a very light and pleasant) action. He might as
well have said that light aid darkness were ex
actly alike 1 This was trii k No. I intended to
njure us, although it is well known that we
..live always, for obvious reasons, refused to
currant foreign Pianos which w ere sent lousbv
• friend, without our order.
Trick No. 2—consisted in advertising a“Cnu
ion" to the public 10 look out, least they should
•e cheated in the purchase of Gilbert’s Pianos,
iiiless they were sure the name ofT. Gilbert A
Cos. was 011 the instrument. We were selling
the instruments of Lemuel Gilbert at the time,
which was a different concern from that of his
brother, T. Gilbert! The object of this trick
was to create the impression that we were sell
mg counterfeit instruments, and of inferior qual
ity to those sold by Air. Reps, although the in
struments of L. 4* T. Gilbert were both ranked
in the third class by a committee of mechanics
who were appointed to examine Panes, at the
Third Exhibition of the Massachusetts Charita
ble Mechanic Association, in 1641—see Report
of the Association for that year, page 66, where
it will also he seen that Chickering's Pianos
were ranked in the first class, and won the gold
medul.
Such arc some of the devices which have been
practiced to injure our business, but which have
so far failed, as our trade ison the increase, and
we can and do sell the best Pianos at less profit
than any other establishment. Air. Reps him
self has recently boasted that lie made more
profit from the sale of one Piano than vve had
from the sale of three, on the same day—and he
probably made a correct statement this time, if
he never did before !
In conclusion, vve do not deem it necessary to
say one word in recommendation of Nunns Se
Clark's and Chickering's Piano Fortes, which
vve keep on hand for'sale. Neither do vve mean
to say any thing against the instrument
sold hy Air. Reps. All we want is a fair and an
honorable competition. Let our neighbor do all
that he can to extend his business, hy fair m< tins,
and wo shall tint complain. We have no de
sire to injure him, or vve might have done it by
accepting an agency proffered to us to sell the
Pianos kept hy him. Neither do we envy his
success, for vve liavp sold three Pianos to his one,
and more since lie commenced than before, be
en sea greater trade is brought to a place where
there i* competition than where one house is
supposed to hold an exclusive monopoly of an ar
ticle. But vve are determined no longer to sub
mit, in patience, to the many sly movements
which lie and his friends may set on foot to ng.
grandizc himself, at the expense of truth,justice
and candor. BRUNO & VIRGINS.
P. S. We have a few words to sav to another
individual who has so opportune y and quite
accidentally, of course, conic to the aid of Mr.
Reps. Dr O. P. Laird, having one “ Grand
Piano” of Al r. Herz’s manufacture for sale, seems
to think that our reconi mendut ion of Chickering's
and Nunns & Clark’s Pianos, and our statement
that Mr. Ilerz on ooeocca-ion used Chickering's
ins,end ol his own, in Boston, were cnlrulalcd to
injure the salo of his property, and Infs therefore
kindly informed the public that Air. Ilerz only
did so out of complimew to Air. Cliiekering!
Very well : lie was probably sincere in the com
pliment, and if so, it shows that Air. Ilerz was
manly enough to acknowledge merit, even
though found in a competitor. 8o far, then, vve
were correct incur statement on this point. As
to any attempt to prevent the sale of the Doctor’s
Piano, we plead not guilty. The article i* not
as saleable as others better known. Even the
name of the “Pianist ofhis Majesty,” the exiled
King of the French, around w hom* certain gen
tlemen “icAo know" all about music, danced at
tendance so gracefully when Air. Herz was in
our city—as manufacturer of Pianos, has so far
failed to elicit a single order through us in four
teen years. Why, then,should Dr. L. suppose
that the lady to whom he expected to sell his
instrument, was influenred by us to send else
where for a Piano ? Let him ask that lady, and
lie will discover the fact that we knew nothing
of her purchase or intention to purchase in New
York, of Nunns & Clark, until vve had received
notice that the instrument was shipped to our
care, and we were expected Input it up for the
owner, when it arrived. We are, however,
unwilling to admit that Air. Herz, who is a com
poser of music, residing in New York, can nnko
any bette’ instruments at his manufactory in
Paris, France, than can be furnished by us of
American construction. The instrument ol Dr.
L. is probably a good one. It may be “A No. I,”
hut it will not sell any the sooner because the
ovv ner puffs it beyond measure. It will speak fen
itself. Doctor, if 11s voice lias not been impaired
l»v old age, or some other vital disease to which
*iicli tilings are subject, especially if beaten un
mercifully 1 B. A V. j
EpToshow the public what is the character
of Chickering's Pi nos at tin North, we append
an extract from the Report of the I’nmniit'ee of
the Charitable Mechanic Association of .Massa
chusetts, for the year 1t44 And what is llieie
said of Chickering's Pianos may also be said of
Nunns A Clark's, of New York. The latter
stand No 1 in that city. For several years
Nunns A Clark have not sent Pianos to the ex
hibilions, but always received the gold medals,
when they did send, fee Report of above Asso
ciation for the year aforesaid, page 126, for the
ollowing .
“There is one manufacturer, however, (N<>.
755,) whose instruments take precedence of all
the o hers, with so unques ionable a pre-emi
nence, that the Committee felt not the slightest
hesitation in recommending the award, to him,
of a Gold Medal. And this they diJ, on two
grounds ; not only for the decided superiority of
his r-quaie Pianos, which, it is no exaggeration
to say, may be fearlessly placed in competition
with the best that Europe can produce. Mr.
CiuczEßlNo's Pianos, of both kinds, are of so
delightful a lone, so delicate action,and so firm
arid enduring construction, tint they need no
medals to give them celebrity ; and it might
seem superfluous to give encouragement to one
who has already received the highest recotn
inendaiions But the Committee were appoint
ed, not simply to giv e encouragement to any per
sons, but 10 decide, according to their ability,
upon the relative rank of the instniments pre
sented t > them ; and it would be nothing short of
glaring injustice to lav aside the c-lain sos the
instruments acknowledged tie be the lust, be
cause the maker of them had always produced
theMiest. So much the more does lie deserve
the highest reward for his skill, enterprise and
industry ; especially w lien lie is seen to go on,
diligently and steadily, in lliecourse of improve
ment, and his competitors find, when they a
rive at one point—where he lias long stood be
fore them—that he has reached another, and
that without more than common speed, they
cannot overtake one, who unites, with all their
ambition, a perseverance which may he equalled
but not surpassed. Air. Chicken ng's manufac
ture is an honor to the community, in the opin
ion of the Committee ; and they would omit no
proper opportunity of In aiit.g testimony to an
excellence, which makes them feel more proud
of their city."

THE GLOBEi
A Congressional, Agncu'tural und Literary
.Vewspaper.
riMIE Editors of the Congressional Globe pro
fi pose anew publicat: u. To deserve the
patronage which Congress has accorded to their
reports-of its debates, in receiving and making
the Globe he official register, they intend to ado
promptitude to wha ever merit has hitherto re
conmieii.led the work. They will publish a
Daily Globe, to record the proceedings and de
bates as iliev occur ; and a Congressional Globe
periodically', as heretofore, embodying the re
ports ol 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 ft. lit all quar
ters, and complete therontenla by drawing from
every source hat may be of most interest among
literary novelties, and of greatest Utility in scien
tific and practical works on agriculture. Fur
material, the leading journals and periodicals of
France and Great Britain, treaiing of such sub
jects. will be consulted, and, it is hoped, advan
tageously used. Original essays, especially on
topics connected with agriculture, will be obtain
ed from the most enlightened and practical men
of our country.
The Globe, as a newspaper, and as a vehicle
of information and alll use men l in other respec's,
will he under the charge of Francis P. Blair
and James C. Pickett. The Congressional
department and business concerns of the paper
will be under the management of John C Rives
The public are familiar with Blair and Rives us
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. lieis a gen
tleman favorable known to the Government, for
talent and judgment which distinguished his di
plomatic service while connected vviih the mis
sion to Quito ; and tnu'-e recently when Charge
rl’Affaire- to Peru. Front his pen mainly the
Globe will derive the selections and translations
from the French journals and periodicals, tin
comments on them, and the other literary articles
which will he found among ils eh es attractions.
The Globe will he published daily during tin
session of Congress, and W eik Iv the balance"
the year, and will undergo distribution in tin
form of a Weekly Globe, a Congressional Globe
and an Appendix.
j Tire Weekly Globe will be the vehicle of the
\ miscellaneous articles of the daily print, with a
synopsis of the Congressional proceedings.
I Tho Congressional Globe will embody, as it
has done for the last sixteen y ears, Congression
al pioceedingsand debates exclusively.
The Appendix will embrace the revised
speeches separately, and the messages of the
President of the United Stutes, and the reports
of the Heads oftlie Executive Departments.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will
be published as fast as the proceeding* 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 tlnee 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 Congressiohal reports. A paper assuming
to be an inipaitiai vehicle for all sides, cannot
maintain its character if the editorial columns
reflect a party line. 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.

the public against false reports, viz : that lie

treated diseases precisely as Dr AL does, there
by misrepresenting hint, 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 Al. deems it only

conclusive evidence of the superiority of his

For the further encouragement of the afflicted

PROSPECT! 118
OF TIIE
SOUTHERN MUSEUM.
A Weekly Paper, published in Macon, Ga.
WHILST the Paper will bear principally t
Literary charac er, we shall endeavor to
make ii usefu and interesting to all classes of the

the la es intelligence—an advocate of virtue
—and a cens .r of vice. In pursuing the plan
de errnined upon the following will comprise
the leading departments of the Paper, which
we hope wi I carry the cheerfulness of know),
edge and the light of truth wherever it is rs.
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,
proceeding* of conventions, &c., of both the
great parties that now divide the country, so far
us 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, nil scurr lousor merely par*
lizan communications
Commercial.—Under this head will be found
the latest statement ofthe 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 tr .versed and every avenue pursued, that ran
be thought to lead to those sacred retreats, whers
Literu'ure loves to hide herselffrnm the common
gaze, that her labors may be rendered conducive
to the public good. Selections from ihe 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 effort* will be
spared to make our paper interesting to the
Farmer.
General Intelligence.—ln this department
will he found a general synopsis of the passing
events of the day The ensuing Congress w ill
be one of u usual interest, vve shall therefore
keep our readers advised of tlie movements of
that body—We shall also give the proceedings of
our Sia'e Legislature, wliils in session. In fine,
whatever will have a tendency to develope the
rich and varied na'ural resources of our btale,
elevate the moral character of its citizens, or
promote the prosperity and happiness of the
community in which vve live, shall meet with
our ardent and humble support.
Holding these views, thus cursorily glanced
at, we seek the patronage of the M erelian —the.
Mechanic—the Scholar—and thePhiian hropisi,
in our undertaking ; being satisfied in our own
mind, that they w.II receive an equivalent for
the patronage they may think proper to beatow.
