“A LITTLE 'loin: GHA PE.”
Tlin undersigned, sue to Ins promise, again
presents to llie Public more data oil which
tlicv can safely base their calculations relative
to the respective merits of the depleting system
of the disciples of Esculnpiits, and of that invig
orating ami 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 fur attack
or defence, lie selects his standing on truth, anti
uses such support only as merit gives him ; and
for weapons, he chooses simply to assail the
ranks of the enemy occasionally with “a little
more grape,’’ in the form of facts, which arc evi
dently the hardest kind of arguments since they
often administer to his quiet amusement by the
terrible destruction they cause among the stilts
iuid the ludicrous effect they produce in causing
certain individuals to laugh, ns it is expressed in
homely phrase, “on t'other side the mouth.”
The Mexicans arc not the only people, these
days, whom vanity has blinded to their ow n de
fects ; neither can they claim much superiority
in the way of fancied cminenre’and blustering
bravado over many that live a great deal nearer
home. A salutary lesson has latterly been giv
en the former by the Americans, and the latter
may ere long take “ another of the same ” ala
mode de Tat,lor.
After the following there will still ho “a few
more left.”

This certifies that for more than four or five
years niy wife was afflicted with a disease pecu
liar to her sex, and notwithstanding all that we
could do, she still continued to get worse. The
Physicians in attendance had exhausted their
skill without rendering her any assistance till,
in 1844, when she was confined to her lied in a
very low condition, 1 got her last attendant to go
with me to Macon arid lay her ease before I)r.
M. S. Thomson, who, without having seen her,
prescribed and sent her medicine that soon re
lieved her, and in the course of a short time re
stored Iter to permanent health. She has now
been well about four years and rejoices in the
recovery of her long lost health
FRANCIS U. HASCAL.
Macon. June 22d, 1848.
Da. M. S. Thomson,
Dear Sir :— Deeming it a duty I owe to your
self as well as to the afflicted generally, I 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
tint i ntcrests of suffering humanity.
In May 1841, after considerable exposure to
cold, I was attacked with Asthma, which pros
trated me very much, and notwithstanding all
that could he done to prevent it, it continued to
return about every two weeks till in 1846, I ap
plied to you. lletwcen these attacks I had a very
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 get worse,so much so that I had reduced
from being a strong, fleshy man, down to a mere
skeleton alid could hardly creep about —When
I applied to you, I had hut little faith itt being
cured, though 1 had witnessed some wonderful
results following your treatment, especially the
cure of that crazy woman you bought ol Aquil
la Phelps, in Jasper, yet they gave mo confi
dence and by persevering in the use of your
remedies, and as it were hoping against hope,
am much gratified in being able to announce
that I have got entirely well, for 1 have had hut
one light attack in twenty months, and that was
eight months ago. I have now regained about
my former weight, and feel as strong as almost
any man of fifty-one, which is tny age. Without
disparagement to the charaetorofthe othercures
that have so frequently resulted from your prac
tice, I do not think that any of them can heat
this, for confirmed Jisthnui combined with a
Consumptive cough, especially where the flesh
has wasted, has long been classed among the iu
cureables. Most respectfully,yours,

PROSPECTUS
OF
THE CItIIS AI) E It.
TIIE undersigned have adopted the above, as
the significant title of a Monthly Paper,
wmcli with sufficient encouragement, they pro
pose to publish in the City of Macon, to be 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
jn" “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 tho greatest foe that
ever scourged tho 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, tho
harbinger of Religion—“preparing the way ofthe
Lord.” . .
We shall spare no pains to make I Ise
Cl'lisadci* a work of standard merit ; to give
it a decided character for usefulness, and to
make it a work interesting to general readers.
CONDITIONS :
The Crusader will be issued in Month
ly numbers, containing Sixteen quarto pages
each, at One Dollar por annum, payable on the
delivery of the first number. The Second 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 twonty cash subscribers, the 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 inav he pledged, at
the earliest possible date, as it is our wish to
make onr first issue by the Ist of February, if
the requisite patronage can be secured.
Editors who may be friendly to the enterprise,
will oblige us by giving this Prospectus an inser
tion, anil if desired they shall receive an extra
eopy of The Crusader.
Communications may be addressed to either

and can he returned should any defect he found
in the instrument.
Also, tine American and French P 1.1 .V O
COVERS and STOOLS , to correspond

B RUNG & VIRGINS take this oppor
tunity to correct a false statement which lias
been made in two of the Columbus papers, viz :
“That Mr. Herz, when ho gave his Concerts
here, had used and preferred a Huron (,■ Harm's
Pinna to all others in this city ” —by which the
advertiser intends to make the public believe
that Heron & Raven’s Pianos are superior to
Nunns A. Clark’s and Chickering’s, which we
keep.
We deem it due to our customers and the pub
lic generally, to say, that Mr. flerz first cnllefl
on ns (with'Air. John Forsyth) and wanted one
of Chickcring's siren octave Pianos; we had
sold the last one of this kind two days before life
arrival of.Mr Ilcrz, 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 Air. 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 A Raven’s Piano instead of
Chickering’s, which he preferred. Mr. John
Forsyth, who was with Air. Ilerz, cun testify to
the above statement.
Mr. Ilcrz has always preferred Chickcring's
and A'unns Sf Clark's Pianos. When ho gave
his Concerts in Boston, he used a Chickcring’s
grand Piano, and left his own at the Hotel.
And, he ought to know.
There is now in this city one of Nunns A
Clark’s splendid Grand 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 A Clark received an order for
one at $1,600! In a Boston paper we read an
account of a Piano made by Chickering for the
Hon. Caleb Cushing, for $2,000! (or $2,200,
wc forget which.) This is the truth, anil no
“upper-ten” humbug.
By such instruments the Manufacturers prove
that they can satisfy the most particularcnstomer
In a few days we shall have some of Chicker
ing's and Nunns A Clark’s low priced PIANOS,'
which wo will sell here, with Stool and Cover,
for $250.

Columbus, January 16, 1849.
To the Public.
The Proprietor of the above establishment,
having been accused iu last week’s Democrat,
by M essrs. Bruno & Virgins, of making a “false
statement” in regard to Mr Ilerz’s selection of
a Bacon & 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.”
COLUMBUS, Ga., lflth Jan., 1849.
John Forsyth —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 1 am accused of making a -‘false state
ment,” and to suppoM which accusation your
namo is cited as a witness.
Will you do me the favor to state your recol
lection oftlie transaction referred to? Very
respectfully. CHARLES REPS.
COCUMBUS, Jan. 20, 1849.
Mr. Charles Reps —Dear Sir —In reply to
your note of yesterday, I have to regret that
3! essrs. Bruno & Virgins have culled 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 iny recollection does not support their
j “correction of a false statement.”
Tlie facts are simply, that at tho request of
Mr. Herz, 1 went with him to both establish
ments —yours and 31essrs Bruno & Virgins’—
and after trying several instruments in each, lie
selected a “Bacon At Raven,” from yours ; and
not because it was a “seven octave” (for it was
a six octave,) but, as I understood him, because
lie preferred it. lle'spcctfully, yours, etc.

THE GLOBE :
.1 Congressional, .Agricultural und Literary
A’cicspapcr.
''B’MIE Editors of the Congressional Globe pro
-11 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, embodying the re
ports of Congress separate from the miscellaneous
matter which will accompany them in the daily
print. To fill the sheet 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 the most enlightened and practical men
of our country.
Tl te Globe, as a newspaper, and as a vehicle
of information and amusement in gther 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 G. 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 his di
plomatic service while connected with the mis
sion to liuilo ; and more recently when Charge
d’Affaires to Peru. From his pen mainly the
Globe w ill derive the selections and translations
from the French journals and periodicals, the
comments on them, and the other literary articles
which will he 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 tfie
form of a Weekly Globe, a Congressional Globe
and an Appendix.
The Weekly Globe will be the vehicle oftlie
miscellaneous articles of the daily print, with a
synopsis of the Congressional proceedings.
The Congressional Globe will embody, as it
has done for the hist sixteen years, Congression
al ptoceedingsand 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 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
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 he found in
tlie Congressiohal reports. A paper assuming
to be an impnitiai 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,

For one copy of the Appendix during the

For six copies of either the Congressional
Globe, or the Appendix, or part of both, 5 00
The subscription for tile Congressional Globe
or the ‘Appendix, after the Ist of January, will
he $1 50. The original price of One Dollar
does not pay the expenses of the publication in
consequence of the great increase of matter pub
lished.
Our prices for these papers are so low that w'e
cannot afford to credi; tlfem out ; therefore no
person need consume time in ordering them,
unless the subscription price accompanies the

T V flirted with Cancer, Fistula, Wens, and
a 1 ulcers and tumors, originating from whatso
ever cause, tluit lie is permanently located in
the city of Macon, w here lie may he found
both summer and u inter. Dr M. would guard
the public against false reports, viz : that lie
had removed from Georgia—that he was dead,
or deranged in mind. It also appears that vome
itinerant and other doctors, are making, or try
ing to make, the false impression tiiat 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. 31. at last. Dr. 31. deems it only
necessary to add, that his former and continues
success in the management of these diseases, is
conclusive evidence of the superiority of iiis
practice over all o’hers known in this, or and
other country. For the correctness of this as
sertion lie refers to his pamphlet on Cancer,
Ac., which may he obtain)d gratis, by appli
cation to him by letter (post paid) or otherwise.
For the further encouragement of the afflicted
Dr. 31. would just 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 who arc continually
under treatment from various parts oftlie Union,
in every stage and variety of the complaints.—
The treatment is without tlie use of the knife,
