“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.” Georgia, Jones County, lß4B. 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.

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.

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 &.

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.

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.— The treatment is witiiout the use of the knife, or caustic, and is both constitutional and local dec 2 I—ts Oodey’s Lady's Book lor IS 19.
