‘ A LITTLE JIOUE CRAPE.”
TilE undersigned, fuc to Ins promise, again
presents to the Public more data on w Jiich
lliey c.n safely base their calculations relative
to the respective merits of the depicting system
of the disciples of Esculapiiis, and of that invig
orating and phlogestii- one of which lie is proud
to be the advocate.
Leaving the stilts of egotism and shafsof rid
icule for the use of those who have nothing bet
ter to stand on, and no other w eapons for attack
or defence, lie selects his standing ou truth, and
uses such support only as merit gives him ; and
for weapons, lie chooses simply to assail the
ranks of the enemy occasionally with “a little
more grape,” in the form of facts,w hich are evi
dentlv the hardest kind of arguments since they
often ad minister 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
boiuelv phrase, 41 on t other side the mouth.
The Mexicans arc 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 great deal nearer
home. A salutary lesson has latterly been giv
en the former by the Americans, and the latter
may ere long take 44 another of the same ” ala
mode de Tat,lor.
After the following there will still bo “a few
more left.”
Georgia, Jones County, 1843.
This certifies that for more than four or five
vears my wile was afflicted with ii 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 1344, when she was confined to her lied in a
very low condition, 1 got her last attendant to go
with me to Macon and lay her ease before Dr.
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 her to permanent health. She has now
been well about four years and rejoices in the
recovery ol her long lost health

Macon. June 22d, 1848.
Dr. M. S. Thomson,
Dear Sir Deeming it a duty I owe to your
self ns well as to the afflicted generally, 1 have
concluded to give you a short statement of my
c.ise, which you are at liberty to publish if you
think that the best mode of thereby subserving
the interests of suffering humanity.
In May 1841, after considerable exposure to
cold, I was attacked with Asthma, which pros
tratcd me very much, and notwithstanding all
that could be done to prevent it, it continued to
return about every' two weeks till in 1. lb, 1 ap
plied to you. Between these attacks 1 had a very
severe cougii, 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 1 hail reduce*
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 Aquil
la Phelps, in Jasper, yet they gave me 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 entirelyTvrrtt, fur I have had hut
one light attack in twenty months, and that was
eight months ago. 1 have now regained about
my former weight, and feel us strong as almost
any man of fifty-one, which is my age. H itliout
disparagement to the charscterof the other cures
that have so frequently resulted from your prac
tice, 1 do not think that any of them can beat
this, for confirmed Asthma combined with a
Consumptive cough, especially where the flesh
has wasted, has long been classed among the m
cureahles Most respectfully,yours,

PROSPECTUS
OF
TII E CItUBA I> EK .
fTHIE undersigned have adopted the above,as
JL the significant title of a Monthly lapel,;
winch with sufficient encouragement, they pro
pose to publish in the City ol Macon, to he de- ]
voted to the interests of Temperance, Educa
tion and Religion.
The plan ofthis work was first suggested, in
view ofthe 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
»n*'“Order.” We believe that a Divine agency
is manifest in the startling progress and triumphs
ofthis great moral organization. It is God s
work lie 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 ot
“The Sons,” yet, vve shall claim the privilege
of striking some good blows for Education and
Religion ° “The Order of the Sons,” we regard,
under God, as the handmaid of the Church, the
Harbinger of Religion —“preparing the way ofthe
Lord.” .
We shall spare no pains to make I lit*
UrilNiulcr a work of standard merit ; to give
it a decided character for usefulness, and to
make it a work interesting to general readers.
CONDITIONS:
TIIR CrilSSltld’ will be 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 be 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, 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 tnay be pledged, at
the earliest possible date, as it is our wish to
make our first issue bv the Ist of February, if
the requisite patronage can be secured.
Editors who may be friendly to the enterprise,
will oblige us hy giving this Prospectus an inser
tion, and if desired they shall receive an extia
eopy of The Crusader.
Communications may be addressed to either
of the Editors.

Our stock at present consists of Eighty Rosewood

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

sold by us, will be warranted for one year —
and can be returned should any defect be found
in the instrument.
Also, fine American and French PIA A O

II R U N O & V I R G I N S take this oppor
tunity to correct a Julse statement which has
been made in two ot the Columbus papers, viz .
| “That Mr. Herz, when he gave his Concerts
! here, had used and preferred a Bacon &,■ Huren's
Piano to all others in this city —hv which the
j advertiser intends to make the public believe
that Bccon &. Raven's Pianos are superior to
Non ns &. Clark’s and Cbickering’s, which we
keep. i t »
We deem it due to our customers and the pub
lic generally, to say, that Mr. Herz first catted
on tis (with Mr. John Forsyth) and wanted one
of Chickering's siren octare. Pianos ; we had
sold the last one 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. II erz’s Concert Music is ar
ranged for seven octave Pianos, we said to him
Hint “perhaps Mr. Reps could accommodate him
with a seven octave Piano,” Avhich he did. 8o
it happened that Mr. Herz accidentally got the
use of a Bacon & Raven’s Piano instead of
Chiekcring’s, which he prefeired. Mr. John
Forsyth, who was with Mr. Herz, can testify to
the above statement. * J
Mr. Herz has always preferred Chickering s
and Xunns Pianos. When he gave
his Concerts in Boston, lie used a Chickering s
grand Piano, and left his own at the Hotel.
And, he ought to know.%
There is now in this city one of Nunns &
Clark’s splendid Grand Piano I' ortes, which was
purchased last summer for SI,OOO, and was se
lected by an eminent Professor of Music; at the
same time Nunns At Clark received an order for
one at $1,600 ! In a Boston papei we read an
account of a Piano made by Chickering for the
lion. 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 soul! have some of

Columbus, January 16, 1840.
To tin* Public.
The Proprietor of the above establishment,
having been accused in last week’s Democrat,
by Messrs. Bruno & Virgins, of making a “false
statement” in regard to Mr Herz’a selection of
a Bacon & Raven Piano, all persons who take
sufficient interest in the matter (that has remain
ed undisputed for the lust two years,) are res
pectfully requested to read the following corres
pondence and judge for themselves, who lias
made a “false statement.’
COLUMBUS, Ga., lfttli 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 I am accused of making a “false state
ment,” and to support which accusation your
name is rited as a witness.
Will you do me the favor to state your recol
lection of the transaction referred to? Very
respectfully. CHARLES REPts.
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
tne, I should not now have to say, that the testi
mony of my recollection does not support their
“correction of a false statement.”
The facts are simply, that at the request of
Mr. Herz, 1 went with him to both establish
ments —yours and Messrs Bruno & Virgins’—
and after trying several instruments in each, he
selected a “Bacon &. Raven,” from yours ; and
riot because it was a “seven octave” (for it was
a six octave,) but, as 1 understood him, because
he preferred it. Respectfully, yours, etc.

THE GLOBE :
A Congressional, Agricultural and Literary
Newspaper.
rjNIIE Editors oftlie Congressional Globe pro
.l pose anew publication. To deserve the
patronage which Congress has accorded to their
reports of its debates, in receiving and making
the Globe the otlicial 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 Irom 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 irom
every source that may be of most interest among
literary novelties, and ofgreatestutility 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.
The Globe, ns a newspaper, and-as a vehicle
of information and amusement in other respects,
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 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 Quito ; and more recently when Charge
d’Affuires 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 be 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, with a
synopsis of the Congressional proceedings.
The Congressional Globe will embody, as it
has done for the last sixteen years,Congression
al pi oceedings 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.
TReCongressional Globe and Appendix will
be published as fust 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
the Congressiohal reports. A paper assuming
to he an impaitia! vehicle for all sides, cannot
maintain its character if the editorial columns
reflect a party line. The Editors of the GJ«be
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 ofthe 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 ofthe 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
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; them* out ; tiieretore no
person need consume time in ordering them,
unless the subscription price accompanies the
order. BLAIR & RIVES.

Dr. IV. IV. marshall,
II’ OULD respectfully inform all persons as
s V flirted with Cancer, Fistula, Wens, and
a:l ulcers and tumors, originating trom whatso
ever cause, that he is permanently located in
the city of Macon, where lie may be found
both summer and winter. 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 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
woftilly imposed upon, and have been obliged
to visit Dr. M. at last. Dr. M. 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 his
practice over all others known in this, or and
other country. For the correctness of this as
sertion he refers to Ii is pamphlet on Cancer,
Ac., which may be obtaimd gratis, by appli
cation to4iim by letter (post paid) or otherwise.
For the further encouragement of the afflicted
Dr. M. would just add, that on their arrival at
Macon, they will have the most 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 are continuaMy
under treatment from various parts of the Union,
in every stage and variety of the complaints.—
The treatment is without the use of the knife,
or caustic, and is both constitutional and local
