‘ 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.

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.

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, curt H.

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.” .

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.

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 !

John Forsyth —Dear Sir —l take the liberty to hand to you an advertisement of Messrs Bruno &.

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.

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.

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 dec 2 I—ts Godey’s Lady's ICook lor 1819.
