“A LITTLE .VOKE liItAPE.”
THE undersigned, true to Ins promise, again
presents to the Public more data on w hich
they can safely base their calculations relative
to the respective merits of the depleting system
of tbo disciples of Esculnpiiis, and of that invig
orating and phlngeslic one of which he is proud
to be the advocate.
Leaving the stilts of egotism and shafts 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 gives 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 Ins ipiiet amusement by the
tcrrible 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 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
mav ere long take 41 another ol the same ala
motif dc Taylor.
After the following there will still ho “ a few
more left.”

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,
ill 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 case before I)r.
M. 8. T noaison, who, without having seen her,
prescribed and sent her medicine that soon re
lieved 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 of her long lost health
FRANCIS B. IIASCAL.

Du. M. S. Thomson,
Dear Sir Dooming it a duty 1 owe to your
self as well as to the afflicted generally, I have
concluded to give you a short statement of iny
case, which you are at liberty to publish if you
think that the best inode of thereby subserving
the interests of suffering humanity.
In May 1841, after considerable exposure to
cold, I was 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 !84(j, 1 ap
plied to you. Between these attacks I had a very
severe cough, which ied some of the physicians
to whom 1 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 l had reduced
from being a strong, fleshy man,down to a mere
skeleton and could hardly creep about—When
I applied to you, I had but 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-
L» Phelps, in Jasper, yet they gavo mo confi
dence and by persevering in the use of your
remedies, and as it wero hoping against hope,
am much gratified in being able to announce
that I have got entirely well, for 1 have had but
one light attack in twenty months, and that was
eight months ago. 1 have now regained about
my former weight, and feel as strong as almost
any mail offifty-one, which is my age. Without
•I isparagemen t to the cliaraoterof the other cures
that have so frequently resulted from 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 long been classed among the in
curcables. Most respectfully,yours,
H. LIGIITFOOT.

PROSPECTUS
OF
THE C It US A I> Elt .
mt|E undersigned have adopted the above,as
1 the significant title of a Monthly' I aper,
winch 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 oftliis work was first suggested, in
view ofthe rapidly growing numbers within the j
ranks of the Sons of Temperance, and the in- ;
creasing demand for light, touching the objects
iind movements oftliis benevolent and nourish
ing “Order." We believe that a Divine agency ;
is manifest in the startling progress and triumphs
oftbisgreat moral organization. It is God s
work. He is now summoning Ins “embattled |
hosts” for a crusade against the greatest foe that
ever scourged the earth. ’lempcrance, there
fore, will stand prominent upon our banner, i
But while we march under the “triple Hag,”
and solicit the patronage and fostering care of
“The Sons,” yet, we shall claim the privilege
of strikin'' some good blows for Education and
Religion. 3 “The Order ofthe Sons,” we regard,
under God, as the handmaid of the Church, the
harbinger of Religion—“preparing the way ofthe
Lord.”
We shall spare no pains to make T 1 Itc
Crusader a work of standard merit; to give
it a decided character for usefulness, and to
make it a work interesting to general readers.

Our stock at present consists ot Eighty Rosewood

are continually receiving new additions to our
stock.
All of the above Instruments will be sold very
low for cash or approved notes. Every 1 iano

and can he returned should any defect he found
in the instrument.

BRUNO A VI R GINS take this oppor
tunity to corrcet a false statement which has
been made in two ot the Columbus papers, viz .
“That Mr. Hem, when he gave his Concerts
here, had used and preferred a Bacon «,■ Horen's
Viono to all others in this city by which the
advertiser intends to make the public believe
that Becon A Raven’s Pianos are superior to
Nunns A Clark's and Chickcring’s, which we
keep. , , ,
We deem it due to our customers and the pub
lic generally, to say, that Mr. llerz first rolled
on us (with Mr. John Forsyth) and wanted one
of Chicliering's siren octave Pianos ; we had
sold the last one of this kind two days before the
arrival ofMr llerz, to a gentleman of Columbus.
Mr. Hcrz wished us to see the gentleman and
get the instrument for him —which we refused
to do, for reasons that we explained to hurl.
Knowing that Mr. Ilerz’s Concert Music is ar
ranged for seven octave 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 A Raven’s Piano instead ot
Cliiekering’s, which he preferred. Mr. John
Forsyth, who was with Mr. Herz, can testify to
the above statement. ,
Mr. llerz has always preferred Checkering s
and .Yunus Clark's Pianos. When. |,e gave
his Concerts in Boston, he 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 A
Clark’s splendid Grand Piano Fortes, which was
purchased last summer for ijjil.OOO, and was se
lected by un eminent Professor ol Music ; at the
same time Nunns A 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
lion. Caleb Cushing, for $2,000 ! (or $‘2,900,
we forget which.) This is the truth, and no
“upper-ten” humbug.
By such instruments the Manufacturers prove
that they can satisfy the most particularcustonier.
in a few days we shall have some of Chicker
ing’s and Nunns i Clark’s low priced I 1 ANUS,
which we will sell here, with Stool and Cover,
for $250.

Columbus, January 16, 1849.
To Hie S’tihlic.
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 (that has remain
ed undisputed for the last two years,) are res
pectfully requested to read the following corres
pondence and judge for themselves, who has
made a “false statement.”
COLUMBUS, Ga., 19th Jan., 1849.
John Forsvtii — 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 I am accused of making a -‘false state
ment,’’and to support which accusation your
name is cited 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, I have to regret that
M essrs. 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
me, I should not now have to say, that the testi
mony of my recollection does not support their
“correction of a false statement.”
The fucts 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, he
selected a “Bacon &. Raven,’’ from yours ; and
not because it was a “seven octave’’ (for it was
a six octave,) hut, as I understood him, because
he preferredit. Respectfully, yours,etc.

• I’IIE GLOBE:
A Congressional, Agricultural and Literary
.Xcwspaper.
'IMIE Editors ofthc Congressional Globe pro-
I. pose anew publication. To deserve the
patronage which Congress has accorded to their
reports ofits debates, in receiving aud 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 till 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 inav he 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
topics connected with agriculture, will he 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 he 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
tlenian favorable known to the Government, for
talent aud judgment which 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
(jlohe 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 it 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 pioceedingsand 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 ofthc Executive Departments.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will
he 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 the end of
the session.
Nothing of a political party aspect will appear
in tho Globe save that which will he found in
the Congressiohal reports. A paper assuming
to he 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 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 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
he $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 wc
cannot afford to credij them out ; therefore no
person need consume time in orderiug them,
unless the subscription price accompanies the
order. BLAIR A RIVES.

flicted with Cancer, Fistula, Wens, and
all 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 u iliter. 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 alio 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
wofully imposed upon, and have been obliged
to visit Dr. M. at last. Dr. M. deems it only
necessary loadd, that hisformer 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 lie refers to his pamphlet on Cancer,
dire., which may be obtain* and 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 who have been made
whole, 'and also to those who are continually
under treatment from various parts of the Union,
in every stage and variety ofthe complaints.—

Agreeable to the practisoof last year, the pub
lisher will issue as good a number each month
as he does in January. This is a novel feature
in Magazine publishing. During the whole of
last year he gave more engravings and more
reading matter than any of liis contemporaries,
and will continue to do so next year. Those
who subscribe to GODEY’S LADY’S BOOK,
may do so under the nssurauce that they will re
ceive more foj their money in the Magazine a

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

contains in one month nearly, if not quite as
much reading matter as the other monthlies,
making for $3, the amount of reading of two
magazines a month. There are peculiarities a

no other Magazine possesses. Thereisa Mez

both by the best artists. In addition to these,
there are given monthly what no other Maga
