“A little nohi: OKAPE." i
TIE undersigned, true to Ins promise, again
presents to tho Public more data on which
they can safely base their calculations relative
to the respective merits of the depleting system
of the disciples of Esculapius, and of that invig
orating and phlogcstic one of which he is proud
to be the advocate.
Leaving the stilts of egotism and shirts of rid
icule for the use of those who have nothing bet
ter to stand on, and no other weapons for attack
or defence, he selects his standing on truth, and
uses such support only as merit g'ves 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 are evi
dently the hardest kind of arguments since they
often administer to his 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 arc not the only people, these
days, whom vanity has blinded to their own de
fects ; neither can they claim much superiority
in tho way of fancied eminence and blustering
bravado over many that live a great deal nearer
home A salutary lesson lias 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.

This certifies that for more than four or five
years my 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,
m 1644, 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 Dr.
M S Thomson, who, without having seen her,
prescribed and sent her medicine that soon re
lieved her, and in the course ot a short time re
stored her to permanent health. She has now
been well about four years and rejoices in the
recovery of her long . ,

Dr. M. S. Thomson,
Dear Sir Deeming it a duty I owe to your
self ns well as to the afflicted generally, I have
concluded to give you a short statement of my
ense which you are at liberty to publish if you
think that tho best mode of thereby subserving
tho interests of siitiering humanity.
In May 1641, after considerable exposure to
cold I w'as attacked with Asthma, which pros
trated me very much, and notwithstanding all
that could be done to prevent it, it continued to
return about every two weeks till in 1846, 1 ap
plied to you. Between these attacks I had aver)
severe cough, which led soino of the physicians
to whom I applied to believe that 1 had consump
tion. i applied to physicians o both tho Min
eral and Botanic schools, of eminent general
qualifications, but all to no benefit, lor I contm
ucd to get worse, so much so that 1 hud reduce'
from being a strong, fleshy man, down to a mere
skeleton and could hardly creep about —When
I applied to you, I find hut little faith in being
cured, though I had witnessed some wonderful
results following your treatment, especially the
ruro of that cra/.y woman you bought ot Aquil
la Phelps, in Jasper, jet they gave me confi
dence and by persevering m 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, lor 1 have had hut
one light attack in twenty months, and that was
ci-ht months ago. 1 have now regained about
mv former weight, and foci as strong as almost
any man offifty-one, which is my ago. W itliout
disparagement to the charscterot tho other cures
that ha?o so frequently resulted from your prac
tice, I do not think that any ot them can heat
this for confirmed Asthma combined with n
Consumptive cough, especially where the flesh
has wasted, has long been classed among the 111-

PROSPECTUS
OF
THE CRUSADE 11.
THE undersigned have adopted the above, as
the significant title of a Monthly taper,
watch 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 ofthis 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 ofthis benevolent and flourish
ing “Order." We believe that a Div ine agency
is manifest in the startling progress and triumphs
of this great moral organization. It is Ood s
work. He 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 of
“The Sons," yet, we shall claim the privilege
of striking some good blows for Education and
Religion. 0 “The Order of the Sons,” we regard,
under God, as the handmaid of the Church, the
harbinger of Religion— I “preparing the way ofthe
Lord.”
We shall spare no pains to make a nc
Ci'lisiuler 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 per annum, payabic 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 may bo pledged, at
the earliest possible date, as it is our wish to
alike our 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, and if desired they shall receive an extra
copy of The Crusader.
Communications may be addressed to cither

Our stock at present consists of Eighty Rosewood
and Mahogany cased PIANOS, (Macon
and Columbus, Ga. ; Montgomery*, Ala.) arid we
are continually receiving new additions to our
stock.
All of the above Instruments will be sold very
low for cash or approved notes. Every Piano
sold by us, will be waurantep for one year
and can be returned should any defect be found
in the instrument.

BRUNO S’ VIRGINS take this oppor
tunity to correct a false statement which has
been'made in two of the Columbus papers, viz :
“That Mr Here, when lie gave his Concerts
here, had used and preferrala Hue on (,■ Itarcn's
Piano to all others in this city” —by which the
advertiser intends to make the public beliete
that Bccnn & Raven’s Pianos are superior to
Nunns & Clark's and Chickerings, which we
\Ve deem it due to our customers and the pub
lic generally, to say, that Mr. Herz first culled
on us (with'Mr. John Forsyth) and wanted one
of Chickering s sum octave 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. Herz * Concert Music is ar
ranged for seven octavo Pianos, we said to him
that “perhaps Mr. Reps could accommodate him
with a seven octave Piano,’ which he did. So
it happened that Mr. llerz accidentally got the
use of a Bacon & Raven’s Piano instead of
Chickering’s, which he prefetred. Mr. John
Forsyth, who was with Mr. Herz, can testify to
the above statement. . ,
Mr. Herz has always preferred Chickering s
and.Vanns Clark's 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 INnnns <x
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 & 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,
we forget which.) This is the truth, and no
“upper-ten” humbug.
15v such instruments the Manufacturers prove
that they can satisfy the most particular customer

Columbus, January 16, 1849.
To tlio 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 Ilerz's selection of
a Bacon & Raven Piano, all persons who take
sufficient interest in the matter (tiiat has remain
ed undisputed for the last two years,) are res
pectfully requested to read tho following corres
pondence anil judge for themselves, who has
made a “false statement."
COLUMBUS, Ga., 19th 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 lam accused of making a -‘false state
ment,” and to support which accusation your
name is eited as a witness.
Will you do me the favor to state your recol
lection of the transaction referred to? Very
respectfully. CHARLES REPS.
COLUMBUS, Jan. 20, 1849.
Mr. Charles Reps— Dear Sir — ln reply to
your note of yesterday, 1 have to regret that
Messrs. Bruno & Virgins have called on me to
testily in a matter of difference between you ; at
least without consulting my recollection of the
facts 1 am eited to prove. Had they consulted
me, I 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 went with him to both establish
ments—yours and Messrs. Bruno & Virgins'—
and after trying several instruments in each, lie
selected a “Bacon &, Raven,’’ from yours ; and
not becauso it was a “seven octave” (for it was
a six octave,) but, as I understood him, becauso
he preferred it. Respectfully, yours, etc.

THE GLOBE :
A Congressional, Agricultural and Literary
.Xewspaper.
r fMIE Editors ofthc Congressional Globe pro-
I. 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 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, lor
material, the leading journals and periodicals of
France and Great Britain, treating of such sub
jects, will hr- 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', 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 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
<PAffaires 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 w ill be published daily during the
session ofCongress, 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 tho vehicle of the
miscellaneous articles of the daily print, with a
sy’nopsis 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 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 tiie enu 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 be an impaitiai vehicle for all sides, cannot
maintain its character if the editorial columns
reflect a party hue. The Editors of the Globe
have borne tfieir 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, arid 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
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 we
cannot afford to crcdi; them out ; therefore no
person need consume time in ordering them,
unless the subscription price accompanies the
order. 81-AIII & RIVES.

both summer and * inter. Dr. M. would guard
the public against false reports, viz : that he
had removed from Gporgia—that he was dead,
or deranged in mind. It alsoappearsthatsome
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 his former and continues
success in the management of tiicse 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 lie refers to his pamphlet on Cancer,
&c., which may be obtain* and gratis, by appli
cation to him by letter (postpaid) 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,

Agreeable to the practise of last year, the pub

To tliis is added and included in the same $3, the

much reading matter as the other monthlies,
making for $3, the amount of reading of two

there are given monthly what no other Maga
