“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. After the following there will still bo “a few mote left.” , r la - a VI MMtti iv, .» ~ ~ ~ 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.

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.

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 of the Editors. W. 11. ELLISON, E. 11. MYERS, J R. THOMAS, G. 11. HANCOCK. Maco:»> December 30, 1846. i: i4 ( A o & vißuins, i 'll.

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 In a tew days we shall have some ofCliicker ing’s and Nunns & Clark’s low priced PIANOS, vyiiirh we will sell here, with Stool and Cover, for $250. . r irf’Just received, and directly imported from Europe, 15 Cases of GUITARS, VIOLINS, BOWS, BRASS INSTRUMENTS, FLUTES, ACCORDLONS, STRINGS, &c. teb 310—2 t V, ii A RL E S K E F g * .Tin sir W'arcroom, If road Street, COLUMBUS, GA., NEXT DOOR lO VIULFORD’S —IIP STAIRS. -JtZ - i this establishment can always 'V r'ri-W ho found a splendid .assortment of J J U j j ROSEWOOD and MAHOGANY PMJVO FORTES, from the celebrated Manufactories of BACON <St lIAV EN, and 11.

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.

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.

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, 1 or caustic, and is botli constitutional and local, dec 2 I—ts Godey’s Lady’s Book for 1849.
