“A LITTLE nOltC GK.irE.’’
THE unJersigucd, trim to liis promise, again
presents to the Public more data on which
thev can safely base their calculations relative
to the respective merits of the depleting system
of the disciples of Esculapitis, anil of that invig
orating and phlogestic one of which he is proud
to be the advocate.
Leaving the stilts of egotism and shafts of rid
icule for the use of those who have nothing bet
ter to stand on, and no other weapons for attack
or defence, lie selects his standing on truth, and
uses such support only as merit gives him ; and
for weapons, ho chooses simply to assail the
ranks of the enemy occasionally with “a little
more grape, ’’ in the form of facts,which are evi
dently the hardest kind of arguments since they
often administer to Ins quiet amusement by the
terrible destruction they cause among the stilts
and the ludicrous effect they produce in causing
certain individuals to laugh, as it is expressed in
homely phrase, “on t’other side the mouth.”
The Mexicans are not the only people, these
days, whom vanity has blinded to their own de
fects; neither can they claim much superiority
in the way of fancied eminence and blustering
bravado over many that live a groat deal nearer
nome. A salutary lesson has latterly been giv
en the former by tlm Americans, and tho latter
may ere long take “ another of the same ” ala
inode de Taylor.
Astor tho following there will still he “a few
more left."

This certifies that for more than four or five
vears my wife was afflicted with a disease pecu
liar to hor sex, and notwithstanding all that we
could do, she still continued to get worse. The
Physicians in attendance had exhausted their
skill without rendering Iter any assistance till,
in 1844, when she was confined to her bed in a
very low condition, I got her last attendant to go
with me to Macon and lay her case before lir.
M. S. Thomson, who, without having seen Iter,
prescribed and sent her medicine that soon re
lieved her, and in the course of a short time re
stored her to permanent health. She lias now
been well about four years and rejoices in the
recovery of her long lost health

Dn. 11. S. Thomson,
Dear Sir : —Deeming it a ditty I owe to your
self as well us to the afflicted generally, 1 have
concluded to give you a short statement of my
case, which you are at liberty to publish if you
think that the best mode of thereby subserving
tlm interests of suffering humanity.
In May 1841, after considerable exposure to
cold, I was attacked with Asthma, which pros
•rated ms very much, and notwithstanding all
that could bo done to prevent it, it continued to
return about every two weeks till in 1846, I ap
plied to you. Between these attacks I had avert
severe cough, which led some of the physicians
to whom I applied to believe that I had consump
tion. 1 applied to physicians of both the Min
eral and Botanic schools, of eminent general
qualifications, but all to no benefit, for I contin
ued to got worse, so much so that 1 had reduced
from being a strong, fleshy man, down to a mere
skeleton and could hardly creep about—When
I applied to you, I had hut little faith in being
cured, though 1 had witnessed some wonderful
results following your treatment, especially the
cure of that crazy woman you bought of Aqtiil
la Pholps, in Jasper, yet they gave me confi
dence and by persevering in the use of your
remedies, and as it wore hoping against hope,
Jam much gratified in being able to announce
that I have got entirely well* for I have had but
•mo light attack in twenty months, and that was
eight months ago. I have now regained about
triy former weight, and feel as strong us almost
any man of fifty-one, which is my age. Without
disparagement to the charaeteroftho other cures
that have so frequently resulted from your prac
tice, I do not think that any of them can heat
this, for confirmed Asthma combined with a
Consumptive cough, especially where the flesh
has wasted, has long been classed among the in- !
curcables. Most respectfully,yours, |

f|AHE undersigned have .adopted the above, as
X the significant title of a Monthly Paper,
watch with sufficient encouragement, they pro
pose to publish in tlio City of Macon, to he de
voted to the. interests of Tompcrance, 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 Teinperiiiieo, and the in
creasing demand for light, touching the objects
and movements of this benevolent and flourish
ing “Order." Wo believe that a Divine agency
is manifest in the startling progress and triumphs
of this great moral organization. It is God's
work. He is now summoning his “embattled
hosts” for a crusade against the greatest foe that
ever scourged tlio earth. Temperance, there
fore, will stand prominent upon our banner.
Hut while wo march under the “triple flag,"
and solicit tlio patronage and fostering earn of
“The Sons," yet, we shall claim the privilege
of striking some good blows for Education and
Religion. “The Order of tlio Sons,” we regard,
undor God, as the handmaid of tho Church, the
harbinger of Religion—“preparing the way ofthe
Lord.”
We shall spare no pains to make The
Crusader a work ofstandard merit; to give
it a decided character for u-efttlncss, and to
make it a work interesting to genera! reader;.
CONDITIONS:
The Crusader will he issued ill Month
ly numbers, containing Sixteen quarto pages
each, at One Dollar per annum, payable on tho
delivery ofthe first number. The Socond Num
ber will in no case bo 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, tho agent
shall also be 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, ns it is our wish to
make our first issue by the Ist of February, if
the requisite patronage can be secured.
Editors who may he friendly to the enterprise,
will oblige us by giving this Prospectus an inser
tion, and if desired they shall receive an extia
copy of The Crusader

Our stock at present consists ot Eighty Rosewood

are continually receiving new additions to our
stock.
All of the above Instruments will be sold mry

and ean he returned should any delect be found
; in the instrument.
j Also, fine American and French PIA .V 0
j COPERS and STOOLS, to correspond
II with the Piano.
BRUM O & VIRGINS take this oppor
tunity to correct a fulse statement which lias
I been made in two of the Columbus papers, viz :
“That Mr. Herz, when he gave liis Concerts
1 here, had used and preferred a Bacon 4- llaren s
Piano to all others in this city" —by w hich the
j advertiser intends to make the public believe
j that Becon <1 Raven’s Pianos are superior to
Nunns Clark's and Cliiekeriug’s, which we
keep.
Wo deem it due to our customers and the pub
lic generally, to sav, that Mr. Herz first called
on us (with" Air. John Forsyth) and wanted one
of Chickcring's seven octave Pianos; we had
sold the histone of this kind two days before the
arrival ofMr Herz, to a gentleman of Columbus.
Mr. Herz wished us to see the gentleman and
get the instrument for him—which we refused
to do, for reasons that we explained to him.
Knowing that Mr. Ilerz'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 ho did. So
it happened that Mr. Herz accidentally got the
use of a Bacon & Raven’s Piano instead of
Chickering's, which ho prefcircd. Mr. John
Forsyth, who was with Mr. Herz, can testify to
the above statement.
Mr. Herz has always preferred Chickering’s
and JVunns if Clark’s Pianos. When ho gave
his Concerts in Boston, ho used a Chickering’s
grand Piano, and left bis own at the Hotel.
And he ought to know.
There is now in this city one of Nunns &
Clark’s splendid Giand Piano Fortes, which was
purchased last summer for SI,OOO, and was se
lected by an eminent Professor of Music ; at the
same time Nunns & Clark received an order for
one at $1,600! In a Boston paper we read an
account of a Piano made bv Cliickering for the
Hon. Caleb Cushing, for $2,000 ! (or $2,200,
we forget which.) This is the truth, and no
“upper-ten” humbug.
By such instruments the Manufacturers prove
that they can satisfy the most particular customer
In a few days we shall have some of Chickor
ing’s and Nunns & Clark's low priced PIANOS,
which we will sell hero, with Stool and Cover,
for $250.

To the Public.
The Proprietor of the above establishment,
having been accused in last week's Democrat,
by Messrs. Bruno & Virgins, of making a “fulse
statement” in regard to Mr Ilerz's selection of
a Bacon & Raven Piano, all persons who take
sufficient interest in the matter (that has remain
ed undisputed for the last two yenrs,) are res
pectfully requested to read the following corres
pondence and judge for themselves, who has
made a “falgo statement.”
Columbus, Ga., 19th Jan, 1849.
John Forsvth — Dear Sir —l take the liberty
to hand to you an advertisement of Messrs Bruno
& Virgins, in one of the late city papers, in
which I am accused of making a ‘false state
ment,” and to support which accusation your
name is cited as a witness.
Will you do me the favor to state your recol
lection of the transaction referred to? Y'ery
respectfully. CHARLES REPS.
COLUMBUS, Jan 20, 1849.
Mr. Charles Reps— Dear Sir —ln reply to
your note of yesterday, I have to regret that
Messrs. Bruno & 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, {should not now have to say, that the testi
mony of my recollection docs not support their
“correction of a false statement.”
The facts are simply, that at the request of
Mr. Herz, I wont with him to both establish
ments—yours and Messrs Bruno & Virgins’—
and after trying several instruments in each, ho
selected a “Bacon Sl Raven,” from yours ; and
not because it was a “seven octave” (for it was
a six octave,) but, as I understood him, because
ho preferred it. Respectfully, yours, etc.

Till] GLOBE :
A Congressional, Agricultural and Literary
.Yeicspapcr.
tPIIE Editors cftlte Congressional Globe pro
-1 pose anew publicat: n. To deserve the
patronage which Congress has 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, us heretofore, embodying the re
ports ot Congress separate from the miscellaneous
matter which will accompany them in the daily
print. To fill the sliee - 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 be obtain
ed from tbe most enlightened and [practical men
of our country.
The Globe, as a newspaper, and ns a vehicle
of information and amusement in other respec's,
will be 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 as
connected with the press. In introducing Hr.
Pickett as one of tile 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 his di
plomatic service while connected with the mis
sion to Quito 4 and more recently when Charge
d’Affaires 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 he published daily during the
session of Congress, 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 be the vehicle of the
miscellaneous articles of the daily print, w ith a
synopsis of the Congressional proceedings.
The Congressional Globe will embody, as it
has done for the last sixteen years,Congression
al ptoceedings and debates exclusively.
The Appendix will embrace the revised
speeches separately, and the messages of the
President of the United States, and the reports
of the Heads ofthe Executive Departments,
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will
be 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 Congressiohal reports. A paper assuming
to be an impnitial 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.
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 00
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
lie $1 50. The original price of One Dollar
does not pay the expenses ofthe 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 orderiug them,
unless the subscription price accompanies the
order. BLAIR & RIVES.

IVOULD respectfully inform all persons af
? v 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 » inter. Dr M. would guard
tbe public against false reports, viz : that he
had removed from Georgia—that he was dead,
or deranged in mind. It also appears that some
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 hisforiner and continues
success in the management of these diseases, is
conclusive evidence of the superiority of his
practice over all others known in this, or and
other country. For the correctness of this as
sertion he refers to his pamphlet on Cancer,
&c., which may be obtained gratis, by appli
cation to him by letter (post paid) or otherwise.
For the further encouragement of the afflicted
Dr. M. would j list 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 w-ho are continually
under treatment from various parts of th- Union,
in every stage and variety of the complaints.—
The treatment is without the use ofthe knife,
1 or caustic, and is both constitutional and local,

Agreeable to the practise of last year, the pub
lisher will issue as good a number each month
as he does in January. This is a novel feature
in Magazine publishing. During the whole of
last year l e gave more engravings and more
reading matter than any of liis contemporaries,
and will continue to do so next year. Those
who subscribe to GODEY’S LADY’S BOOK,
may do so under the nssurauce that they will re
ceive more foj their money in the Magazine a
lone, than by subscribing to any other work.
To this is added and included in the same $3, the
LADY’S DOLLAR NEWSPAPER, which
contains in one month nearly, if not quite as
much reading matter as the other monthlies,
making for $3, the amount of reading of two
magazines a month. There are peculiarities a

no other Magazine possesses. There is a Mez

Literary character, we shall endeavor'«,

the leading departments of the Paper, whirl,
we hope wi I carry the cheerfulness of knnw|.
edge and the light of truth wherever it is re /
ccived.

of entering the arena of mere party politics
we Shall be content with presenting to on/
readers the result of elections, nominations
proceedings of conventions, See., of both t| le ’
great parties that now divide the country, so ft,
as they may be deemed of public interest.

any subject connected with the public good

tizan communications

the latest statement of the prices of Cotton a(
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 can
be thought to lead to those sacred retreats, w here
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 ths
sincere advocacy of this Press.

events ofthe day. The ensuing Congress wilf

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 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
Mechanic—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.
