“A LITTLE IIOKE GRAPE.”
TIE undersigned, t r uo to ins promise, again
present* to toe Public more da:a on which
they can safely base their calculations relative
IO the respective merits of the depleting system
of ibe disciples of Lsculapiu*, and of rtiat invig
orating and phlngutie one of winch he is proud
to be the advocate.
Leaving the stilts of egotism and shaf sos 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 Ills standing on truth, and
uses such support only as merit gives him ; and
f>tt weapons, he chooses simply to assail the
ranks of the enemy occasionally with “ a little
more grape,'* in the form o! tacts,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 Mix leans 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 anil blustering
bravado over many that live a great deal nearer
home. A salutary- lesson has latterly been giv
en the former by tile Americans, and the latter
may ere long take “ another of the same ’’ ala
mo le de Tat,lor.
After the following there will still be “a few
more left.”
Georgia, (ones County. 1848
This certifies that for more than four or five
vears 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 lu r nnv assistance till,
in 1844, when she was confined to her lied in a
very low condition, I got her last attendant to go
with me to Macon and lay her ease before i>r
JVf. S. Thomson, who, without having seen her,
f described and sent her medicine that soon re
ieved 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

Dn. M. S. Thomson,
Dear Sir :—Deeming it a duty I owe to your
•elf as well as to the afflicted generally, l have
colic 1 tided to give you a short statement of my
css *, which you are at liberty to publish if you
think that the heat mode of thereby subserving
th i interests of suffering humanity.
In May 1841, as-or considerable exposure to
cold, I was attacked with Asthma, which pros,
tratelme very much, and notwithstanding all
that cool I lie done to prevent it, it continued to
return about every two weeks till in I84(i, I ap
plied to vou. Between these attacks I had a very
severe cough, which led some of'lie physuiuus
to whom I .applied to believe that I had consump
tion. I applied to physicians of both ilie Min
eral and iiitmir. schools, of eminent gtneral
qualifications, but all to no benefit, for I cnnlin
ued to got worse, so much so that I had reducer*
from being a strong, fleshy man,down to a iiie'e
skeleton and could hardly creep about —When
I applied to vou, I had hut little faith in being
cured, though I had witnessed some wonderful
results following your treatmen', especially Hie
cure of that crazy woman you bought ot Aipiil-
I, Phelps, in Jasper, yet'they gave me cm,fi
deuoe 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 l have got entirely well, lor I have had hut
one light attack in twenty months, and that was
eight mouths ago. I have now regained about
my former weight, and feel as strong as almost
any man ofSfty-nne, which is tny age. Witla mi t
disparagement to the character ofthe other cures
that have so frequently resulted fmm your prac
tice, I do not think that any of them can heat
this, for confirmed Asthma combined with a
Consumptive, cough, especially where the flesh
has wasted, has lung been classed among the in
carcables. Most respectfully,yours,

BHUNO & VIRGINS take this opp»r
iunity to correct a false statement which has
been made in two of the Columbus papers, viz
“That Mr. Here, when he give his Concerts
here, had used »:nd preferred a Baron hr Ra ve* S
P, mo to all others in this city -by which the
advertiser intends to make the public believe
that Rerun A Raven's Pianos are superior to

We deem it due to our customers and the pub.
lie generally, to say, that Mr. Her* first called
on US (with Mr John Forsyth) and t canted one
of Chickerings s ten oclace Pianos; we had
sold the last one of this kind two do vs before the
arrival of M r Her*, to a gentleman of t uluinbua.
Mr. Herz wished us to see the gentleman and
get the instrument for him—w hich we refused
m do, for reasons that we explained to him.
Knowing that Mr Herz’* Concert Music is ar
ranged for seven octave Ptntios, we said to him
that “perhaps Mr. Reps could accommodate him
with a seven octave Piano,” which he did. 6«
i happened that Mr 11-rz accidentally got the
ose of a Bacon cV Raven's Piano instead of
Chickerings, which lie prcfeired. Mr. John
Forsyth, who was with Mr. Ilerz, cun testily to
the above statement. , , . ,
Vr Herz has always preferred Chichenng s
and.Vanns V Clark s Pianos. When he gave
Ins Concerts in Boston, he used a Chickertng s
grand Piano, and left bis own at the Hotel.
And he ought to know.
There is now in iliis city one of Nunns A
Clark’s splendid Grand Piano Fortes, which was
purchased last rummer for SI,OOO, and was se-
I voted by an eminent Professor of Music; at tlit:
same time Nunns & Clark received an order fur
one at $1,6110 ! In a Boston paper we read an
account Ot a Piano made by Cbickering for the
Hon Caleb Cushing, lor $2,000 ! (or $2,200,
we forget which ) This is the truth, and no

To the Public.
The Proprietor of the above establishment,

hv Messrs. Bruno & Virgins, of making a “lal*c

a Bacon vNi Raven Piano, all persons who lake

ed undisputed for the last two years,) are res

John Forsyth Dear Sir —l take the liberty
to band to you an advertisement of Messrs Bruno
& Virgins, in one of ilm lain city papers, in
which I am accused of making a ‘false state
ment,' and to support which accusation your
name is ‘ ited as a witness
Will you do me llm favor to state your recol
lection of the transaction referred to? Very
respectfully. CHARLES REPft.
COLUMBUS, Jan 29, 1*49.
Mr. Charles Raps Dear Sir— In reply to
your note of yesterday, 1 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
fad* |am cited to prove. Had they consulted
me, I should not now have to say, that llic testi
mony of my recollection docs not support their
“correction of a false statement.”
The facts arc silliplv, that at the request ol
Mr. Hcrz, I wool w iiii him to both establish
men's—voors and Messrs Bruno iY \ irgins’—
and after trying several instruments in each, lie
►elected a “Bacon &. Raven,’ from yours ; and
not because il was a “seven octave'’ (for it was
a six octave.) but, as I under*'nod him, because
he preferred tt. Respectfully. vonrs etc.

• HIE GLOBE:
A Congressional, Agricultural and Literary
.Xeicspaper.
'|NUE Editors ofthe Congressional Globe pro
-1 pose anew publicati u. To deserve the
patronage which Congress lias accorded to their
reports ofits debates, in receiving and making
the Globe the official 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 from the miscellaneous
matter which will accompany them in the daily
print. To fill the sliee: 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 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, as a newspaper, and as a vehicle
of information and amusement in other respec’s,
will he 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 he 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 rii
plomatie service while connected with the mis
sion to Quito ; and mice recently when Charge
d’Affaire* to Peru. From his pen mainly the
Globe w ill derive the selections and translations
from the French journals anil periodicals, the
comments on them, and tile other literary articles
w hich will be found among its ch es attractions.
The Globe will he published daily during the
session of Congress, and Weekly the balance ol
the year,and will undergo distribution in the
form of a Weekly Globe, a Congressional Globe
and an Appendix.
The Weekly Globe will he the vehicle ofthe
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 will embrace the revised
speeches separately, and the messages of the
President nf the United States, and the reports
of the Heads ofthe Executive Departments.
The Congressional Globe anil 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 nr three num
bers of each a week afterwurds, until the end of
tin* Hi-SStOti.
Nothing of a political party aspect will appear
in the Globe save that which will be found in
the Congressiohal reports. A paper assuming
to be an impaitial vehicle for all sides, cannot
maintain its character if the editorial columns
reflect a party line. The Editors of the Globe
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.

no other Magazine possesses. There is a Mez
zotint and Line Engraving in each number—
both by the best artists. In addition to these,
there are given monthly what no other Maga
zine gives—a colored Fashion Plato, ith a full
description. This feature is peculiar to Godey,
as no other work has them every month and co
lored Then there are Caps, Bonnets, Chemi
setts, Equestrianism for Ladies, with Engravings
The Ladies’ W ork Table, with designs for knit
ting- netting, crotchet,and all other kinds of
work. Patterns for Smoking Caps, Chair Covers
