“ A LITTLE .WORE (JKAPE.”
THE undersigned, true to his promise, again
presents to the Public more data on which
they can safely base tlirir calculations relative
to the respective merits of the depleting system
of the disciples of Esculnpius, and id that invig
oraling and phlogostic one ot which he is proud
to be the advocate.
Leaving the stilts of egotism and shat'.s of rid
icule for the use of those who have nothing hel
ler to stand on, and no other w eapons tor attack
or defence, lie selects his standing on truth, and
«ses such support only as merit gives him ; and
for ivenpous, he chooses simply to assail the
ranks of the enemy occasionally with “a little
more grape,’’ in the form ot tacts, which are evi
dently the hardest kind of arguments since they
often administer to Ins quiet amusement hy the
terrible destruction they cause among the stilts
mid 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 arc not the only people, these
days, whom vanity has blinded to their own de
fects; neither can they claim inucli superiority

This certifies that for more than four or five
years my wife was alllictcd with a disease pecu

could do, she still continued to get xxorso. The
Physicians ill attendance had exhausted their

PROSPECTUS
OF
THE C' It US A O I’. It .
TINIIE undersigned have adopted the above,as
I the significant title ot a Monthly Paper,
winch with sufficient encouragement, they pro
pose to publish in the City of Macon, to be de
voted to tho interests of Temperance, l.duca
tion and Religion.
The plan of this work was first suggested, in
view ofthe rapidly growing numbers within the
ranks of tho Sons of Temperance, and the in
creasing demand for light, touching the objects
and movements ot this benevolent and tlourish
in„ “Order.” We believe that a Divine agency
is manifest in the startling progress and triumphs
of this great inoral organization. It is God’s
work. He is now summoning his “embattled
hosts ’’for a crusade against the greatest foe that
ever scourged tho earth. 1 eniperaiiee, 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, n3 the handmaid of the Church, the
harbingerof 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 usefulness, and to
make it a work interesting to general readers.
CONDITIONS :
Tlic Crusader will be issued in Month
ly numbers, containing Sixteen quarto pages
each, at One Dollar per annum, payable on the
delivery of the first number. The Second Num
ber will in no case he 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 bocome agents, or may interest themselves
in obtaining subscribers, will act immediately,
and forward sueli names as may be pledged, at
the earliest possible date, as 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 tho enterprise,
will oblige us by giving litis Prospectus an inser
tion, and if desired they shall receive an extia
copy of The Crusudcr.
Communications may be addressed to cither
of the Editors.

II It U N O & V I R G INS take this oppor
tunity to correct a false statement which has
i l.een'madc in txvo of the Columbus papers, viz :
| “That Mr. llerz, when lie gave his Concerts
here, had used and preferred a liacon Horens
Tin no to all others in this city —hy which the
advertiser intends to make the public believe
that Decon & Raven's Pianos are superior to
Nunns Jc Clark's and Citickqring’s, which we
keep.
W'e deem it due to onr customers and Hie pub
lic "cnerallv, to say, that Mr. ilerz first culled
on us (with'Mr. John Forsyth) and wanted one
of Cliickering's siren octave Pianos ; xve had
sold the last one of this kind two days before the
arrival of Mr Herz, to a gentleman of Columbus.
Mr. ilerz wished us to see the gentleman and
get the instrument for him—xvlrich xve refused
To do, for reasons that we explained to him.
Knoxving that Mr. Ilerz’s Concert Music is ar
ranged for seven octavo Pianos, we aaid to him
that “perhaps Mr. Reps could accommodate him
xvitli a seven octave Piano, which he did. 80
it happened that Mr. Herz accidentally got the
use of a Bacon & Raven’s Piano instead of
(’bickering's, which ho prefetred. Mr. John
Forsyth, who xvas xvitli Mr. Herz, can testify to
the above statement.
Mr. Ilerz has always preferred Cliickering's
and .Yunns 4- Clark's Pianos. When lie gave
his Concerts in Boston, lie used a Cliickering s
grand Piano, and left his oxvn at the Hotel
A net he ought to know.
There is now in this city one of Nunns &
Clark’s splendid Grand Piano Fortes, which was
purchased last summer for SI,OOO, and xvas se
lected hy an eminent Professor ot .Music; at the
same time Nunns lV Clark received an order for
one at $1,600! In a Boston paper xye read an
account of a Piano made by Cliickering for the
Hon. Caleb Cushing, for $’2,000! (or $2,200,
we forget which.) This is the truth, and no
“uppi*r-tcn” humbug.

Columbus, January 16, 1849.
To tlio Public.
The Proprietor of the above establishment,
having been accused in last week’s Democrat,
by Messrs. Bruno i& Virgins, of making a “false
statement” in regard to Mr llerz’s selection of
a Bacon & Raven Piano, all persons xvlio take
; sufficient interest in the matter (that lias remain
!ed undisputed for the last txvo years,) are res
j pectfully requested to read the following corres
pondence and judge for themselves, xvlio has
: made a “false statement.”
COLUMBUS, Ga., 19th Jan., 1849.
John Forsyth— Dear Sir —l take the liberty
i to hand to you an advertisement of Messrs Bruno
| ife Virgins, in one of the late city papers, in
xvliich I am accused of making a -‘lalse state
ment,” and to support xvliich accusation ypur
name is cited as a xvitness.
YVill you do me the favor to state your recol
lection of the transaction referred to? Very
respectfully. CHARLES REPS.
COLUMBUS, Jan. 20, 1849.
i 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
I least xvithout consulting my recollection of the
] facts lam cited to prove Had they consulted
1 me, I should not now have to say, that the testi-
I mony ’of my recollection does not support tueir
“correction of a false statement.”
The facts are simply, that at the request of
Mr. Herz, I xvent 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
not because it was a “seven octave” (for it was
a six octare,) but, as I understood him, because
lie preferred it. Respectfully, yours, etc.

THE GLOBE:
A Congressional , Agricultural und Literary
Newspaper.
THE Editors ofthe Congressional Globe pro
pose anew publication. 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 lias 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 ofthe 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
topies 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 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 xvitli Blair and Rives as
connected xvitli the press. In introducing Mr.
Pickett as one of the concern, they will be al
lowed to say a fexv words of him. He is a gen
tleman favorable known to the Government, for
talent and judgment xvliich distinguished his di
plomatic service while connected with the mis
sion to Quito ; 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 xvill bo found among its chief attractions.
The Globe xvill 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 xvill 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 pioceedings and debates exclusively.
The Appendix xvill embrace the revised
speeches separately, and the messages of the
President of the United States, and the reports
ofthe Heads ofthe Executive Departments.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will
be published ns fast as the proceedings of Con
gress xvill 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 ufterxvards, 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 Congressiolial reports. A paper assuming
to be an impaitial vehicle for all sides, cannot
maintain its character if the editorial columns
reflect a party hue. The Editors of the Globe
have borne their siiare in the party conflicts of
the press They claim an honorable discharge
from the vocation. The Globe xvill inviolably
maintain the neutrality xvliich its relation to
Congress imposes.
TERMS:
Fo? 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,

The subscription for the Congressional Globe
or the Appendix, after the Ist of January, xvill

docs not pay the expenses of the publication in
consequence of the great increase of matter pub

Our prices for these papers are so loxvthat we
cannot afford to credi; them out ; therefore no
person need consume time in ordering them,
unless the subscription price accompanies the
order. BLAIR & RIVES.

ITTOULD respectfully inform all persons as
s T flirted with Cancer, I’istula, Wens, and
all ulcers and tumors, originating trom wiiatso
evercause, that lie is permanently located in
the city of Macon, where he may be found
both summer and u inter. Dr. M. would guard
the public against false reports, viz : that he
had removed from Georgia—that lie was dead,
or deranged in mind. It alsoappcarstliatsome
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
xvofully imposed upon, and have been obliged
to visit Dr. M. at last. Dr. M. deems it only
necessary to add, that liisformer and continues
success in tlie management of these diseases, is
conclusive evidence of the superiority of li is
practice over all o'liers known in this, or and
other country. For the correctness of this as
sertion he refers to his pamphlet on Cancer,
dec., 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 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 xvlio have been made
whole, and also to those who are continually
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,
