Illl!9i^)atci^ THIS WORLD has ever been the sceneot /& the fiercest struggles £y . between Truth and er /*?' ifi Off - A ror. No sooner does I Truth propound an im to the immortal Jenner. ** ' llis master mind was „ n( ler Providence, to the discovery of ' accin nat ion by which that dreadful scom-ge the Small Pox was robbed of its terrors. He found that the matter from the pustules upon the udder of a cow contained a principle which would produce the almost divine results for which he had so pa tiently and anxiously sought. Opposition arose. Interested persons, high in social rank and profes sional position, ridiculed what they dared not deny! Thev asserted that many vaccinnated persons be came covered with hair, and even exhibited horns and a tail ; and that in one case a child ran on all fours bellowing like a bull. But the current was soon turned. The British Parliament voted him £“20,000 sterling. ($100,000,) and the world sang his praises. The same spirit has come down to our own times. Even while we write this Bulletin, interested per sons, jealous of the wonderful delicacy and suc cess of . The Graefenburg Medicines, are opposing them. Misguided men ! How utter ly impossible to arrest their spread. The most ex traordinary certificates are constantly flowing in to the Company from all parts of the country ; certificates which have astonished the most re spectable citizens. Many of these testimonials have been submitted to gentlemen of great dis tinction, who have carefully examined them to sec that they are genuine. Among these, are the names of the Rev. N. Bangs, D. 1)., of the Metho dist Episcopal Church, and Francis Hall, Esq., ed itor of the New York Commercial Advertiser. We finally submitted the whole to the Hon. WM. V. BRADY, the Mayor of New York, who has giv en his certificate, under the Great Seal of the City, that they are genuine and reliable. With such names, we fear no opposition. We are fortified at every point, and solicit a contin uance of the unexampled patronage we have al ready received. We would earncsely advise— -Ist. That in every neighborhood where there is no Gracfenberg Depot, immediate steps be taken to have one. By addressing the General Agent of any district, this can be secured. 2d. Families should club together and get an im mediate supply. 3d. Emigrant Societies and other philanthropic bodies should furnish them to the needy. Os the Vegetable Pills alone 30,000 boxes are sold each and every week! Os the Health Bitters, an enormous quantity. These extraordinary Bitters are sold at 25 cents a paper, and are warranted to make two quarts of Bitters superior to any in the world. They are composed of Roots. Barks, Herbs and Vines, ga thered in the vast forests and prairies of America, and arc a speedy and certain restorative of weak and debilitated constitutions. The other Medicines of the Company are of equal value, and are as follows : The Graefenberg Sarsaparilla Compound The Grakfe.vberg Eye Lotion, The Chil dren's Panacea, The Green Mountain Oint ment, The Consumptive's Balm, The Dysen tery Syrup.

Extract from a letter written by Dr. Gregory Tisdale, Presiding Physician of the Fleet-street Hospital. LONDON, July 7th. IS hi. DR. LE ROY r ’S Pills are a new medicine which has just appeared, and is fast taking the places of all others of the same class. These pills are composed of many ingredients, but the two principal ones are Sarsaparilla and Wild Cher ry,so united that they act together; the one, through it s admixture with other substances purifying and purging, while the other is strengthening the sys tem. Thus those pills arc at the same time tonic and opening, a desideratum long and eagerly sought for by medical men. but never before discovered. In other words they do the work of two medicines, and do it much better than any two we know of; for they remove nothing from the system but the impurities; so that while they purge they strengthen; and hence they cause no debilita tion, and are followed by no re-action. Dr. Le Roy's Pills have a wonderful influence on the blood; they not only purify without-weakening it, but they remove all noxious particles from the chyle before it is converted into fluid, and thus make impure blood an utter impossibility. As there is no debilitation, so there is no nausea or sirickuess attending the operations of this most ex ccllcnt of medicines.which never strains or tortures the digestive functions, but causes them to work n a perfectlv natural manner; and whence per sons taking them do not become pale and emau ciated, but the contrary; for while it is the pro perty of the Sarsaparilla, united as it with other ngredients. to remove all that is foreign and im pure, it is equally‘the property of the Wild Cherry to retain all that is natural and sound; and hence a robust state of health is the certain result of their united operations.

OF THE SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE, A Weekly , to be commenced in Athens, Ga., on the ! 3th of May . 1348. EDITED BY WILLIAM C. RICHARDS. THERE is not,south of the Potomac, a single weekly Journal whose sole object is to devel op and foster literary taste and talent in the South, i and this fact is certainly a sufficient reason for an i earnest attempt to establish such a journal. The failure of previous efforts cannot be regarded by the intelligent mind as an argument against such i an attempt. The failures may have been, and probably were, the result of circumstances no lon ger existing. The need of such an organ in our midst is so universally ackonwledged. that not to attempt to supply the deficiency would indicate a disregard of the signs of the times scarcely more surprising than inexcusable. The progress of the age and the rapid advance • mentof the South in commerce, manufactures and | internal improvement, imparatively demand a cor responding advance in literature. ' To aid in this great object, it is proposed to establish a weekly Journal at the seat of the University of Georgia, and to rally round it the best writers of the South. This, it is believed, from many considerations, can be readily accomplished. The Editor is already assured of the support of his able coadjutors in the Orion magazine, and I also of much other assistance from the most pro- I minent writers of the South. The Gazette will be made up of matter both original and selected; and will comprise tales, essays, sketches of travel, poetry, criticisms, and a general miscellany of in lormalion in all departments of Literature, Art and Science. Particular attention will be given to scientific and practical mechanics. In mechanical execution it shall be surpassed by no contemporay, and the aid of the line arts shall not be wanting to enhance its attraction. The Editor confidently appeals to the friends of Literature in the South; and he is happy to an nounce that the enterprise is one of no doubtful issue. By private effort a large and generous list has been obtained, and upwards of One Thousand Subscribers have pledged their support to the Paper. Until this was accomplished, the Editor was unwilling to publish his Prospectus, but it is now given to the public with the unequivocal as surance that the Gazette shall be permanent. It is strongly hoped, therefore, that every friend of letters in the South to whom this Prospectus may be sent will feel a special interest in procuring subscriptions; for it is important that not merely a bare support be accorded to such a work, but that it shall be so well sustained as to afford to the pub lisher the means and incentives for increasing its attractions in every successive volume. TERMS. 1. The Southern Literary Gazette shall be pub lished weekly, on a handsome imperial quarto of eight pages,printed from new type, on fine whit* paper. 2. It will furnish to single subscril ers at Two Dollars per annum in advance ; and to clubs of six for Ten Dollars. tUf”All communications, not containing remit tances or solicited articles, must be post-paid to en sure attention. [UpEditors desiring an exchange, will please copy and notice this prospectus, and send their papers marked “Gazette,” Athens, (la. WM. C. RICHARDS. April 25 G PROSPECTUS. | FOR THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX. 117’E issue this Prospectus to apprise the public I v v of renewed preparations on our part to pub ' lish the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE APPEN- I DIX lor the approaching session, and to invite I subscriptions. '1 he two Houses having contracted with us for the work, on such terms as enable us now to make complete reports, to multiply ami issue the numbers in quicker succession than here tofore, and without increasing the price to sub scribers, we hope to make a good return for the liberality and high official sanction thus bestowed on the publication. We shall increase the volume at least one-third beyond the ordinary bulk; and endeavor to add to its usefulness by extending still further its large circulation. This last is not the least important point in the viewfof Congress. Faithful and durable reports ol the debates of the body- are of value in proportion to the extent of their circulation among the people. It is in this way that Congress is brought into the presence of its remote constituents —that it obtains easy r access and holds communication with them from day today, and renders the government real ity representative. Having received from all parties in Congress the strongest marks ol approbation and confidence in the libera! means and permanent contract voted to continue the work, we shall not be found wanting in the impartiality and industry necessary to the due fulfilment of the engagement on our part. The next session will task to the utmost the best efforts of those connected with the undertaking. It will be distinguished by discussions of extraordinary in terest and results of abiding concern. The war, its origin and conduct by officers in the cabinet and in the field, will furnish subjects of profound inquiry and consideration. The terms of peace, the dis position to he made of conquests, the consequences to be drawn from all that has been done, as affect ing parties in this country, and especially as bear ing on the approaching Presidential election, will open up novel and powerfully operating discus sions, rendering the councils at Washington during the next year as pregnant of good or evil to, (his continent as those of Rome were to the Old World in the days of her early energy. Such a (i<-ld for deliberation and action was never presented to anv Congress. All that has transpired, or may here after transpire before the close of the approaching session of Congress, in New Mexico, California, in the capital of Mexico, and the provinces still de pendent on it, will come under the consideration of the next Congress. Its debates will contain the history of the war, and its action determine its re sults, whether they he decided by arms or diplo macy . And whatever is developed concerning this vast and interesting matter on the ffoor of Con gress or in the Executive messages, will be found recorded in the Congressional Globe and Ap pendix. The Congressional Globe is made up of the daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress, and printed on superfine double royal paper, with small type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form, each number containing sixteen royal quarto pages. The speeches of the members in this first form, are condensed —the full report of the prepared speeches being reserved for the Appendix. All resolutions, mot’ons, and other proceedings, are given in the form of the Journals, with the y'cas and nays on every important question. Every member will have an opportunity to read his remarks before they are put to press, and alter our report, if he shall think it incorrect. The Appendix is made up of the President's an nual message, the reports of the principal officers of the government that accompany it, and all i speeches of the members of Congress, written out or revised by themselves. It is printed in the same form as the Congressional Globe, and usually makes about the same number of pages during a session. During the first month or six weeks of a session there is rarely more business done than will make two numbers a week—one of the Congressional Globe undone of the Appendix; but during the re mainder of a session, there is usually sufficient mat ter for two or three numbers of each every week. The next session will be unusually interesting, therefore, we, calculate that the Congressional Globe and Appendix together will make near 3,000 large quarto pages, printed in small type—brevier and nonpareil. We furnish complete Indexes to both at the end of a session. We will endeavor to print a sufficient number of i surplus copies to supply all that may be miscar ried, or lost in the mails ; but subscribers should be very particular to file their papers carefully, for fear that we should not be able to supply- all the lost numbers. We have a few surplus copies of the Congression al Globe for the last session of Congress, which we will sell for the original subscription price—sl a copy. We have no surplus copic? of the Appendix tor that session. TERMS.

UNDER-SHIRTS AND DRAWERS OF MERINO, COTTON, SILK, and all j other kinds, cheap, at Oct. 17 WM. O. PRICE & CO’S.P I PROSPECTUS OF A NEW JOURNAL! THE REPUBLIC. ICPThis is the title of a New Paper, which the subscriber proposes to publish in the city of Augusta. The Republic will advocate with zeal, and main tain with fidelity, the great and conservative prin ciples of the Whig Party. Home Industry will receive a cordial support, and be ardently sus tained in opposition to systems calculated to foster foreign interests at the expense of American. The Distribution among the States of the Proceeds of the Sales of the Public i Lands, will be urged as soon as the state of the national finances will permit, as a measure of ex- 1 pcdiency and justice. The Sub-Treasury will be opposed, as a scheme for keeping and disburs ing the public funds—less safe and economical than the agency of Banks. The Acquisition of Foreign Territory will be opposed as unne cessary for the wants of our people, dangerous to the peace and safety of the Union, and utterly ad verse to Southern security. Peace with Mexi co will be advocated as a measure to be honestly and honorably consummated at the earliest prac- 1 ticable period. b or the sake of brevity, we will define our course no farther in reference to National politics and affairs. The Republic will as ardently sustain Whig policy and measures in Georgia as it will those for the Union at large. The views of the subscriber, in reference to State interests, have been so often put forth in the columns of the Chronicle itj- Sentinel that it is unnecessary to re iterate them now. Suffice it to say , that every effort which the Republic can make to add to the prosperity of the great commonwealth of Geo kg i \. and the happiness of her people, will be made as a free-will offering of one of her native sons. The interests of Augusta will receive a large share of his attention. Whatever can add to her population and wealth, and the prosperity of her people, will be sustained by The Republic with unwearied devotion. It is the fervent wish of the subscriber to see the South and North linked in the bonds of per petual harmony and friendship. Their differences will be to The Republic a source of constant solicitude, and its efforts will be warmly directed to heal their broken affections,and point to an a tion al pathway of glory, marked out by our Con stitution AND THE WISE PRECEPTS OE OUR POLITICAL FATHERS. A great struggle—a period full of danger and worthy of solemn thought —peers up before us in the eventful future. When all hope of reconcilation is gone and our political constellation is darkened by clouds and storms, we shall be content to triumph or fall with the South. Her final destiny- shall be our destiny, and our faith and love shall be hers to the last. While the canvass is going on,of the claims of distinguished Whigs for the first office within the gift of the people, The Repub lic WILL SUSTAIN THOSE OF THE GREATEST Statesman of the age, HENRY CLAY. Age has not yet dimmed the lustre of his genius. Time does not, cannot darken the moral grandeur and beauty of his fame, for that is founded upon undy ING DEVOTION TO HIS COUNTRY, and PUBLIC SER VICES, WHICH HAVE GIVEN HIM A HOME IN THE HEARTS OE HIS COUNTRYMEN, ANI» THE NATION A lofty character abkoad. His genius and practi cal wisdon have illumined our councils, and blessed the Republic, while even sages have been fascinated by his eloquence IN DEFENCE OF the Constitution and in efforts to preserve the Union. Like a Star of Hope, he yet shines in the West, and patriots still look to his radiant in fluence to re-illuminethe clouded prospects of the Republic. This, however, will be no factious support. The Republic will give its best energies to effect the election of Him, whom the Whigs may choose to lead them to anticipated victory. Besides its political information, the Republic will furnish the current news of the day, and will be constant ly enriched with interesting TALES, ESSAYS, his torical sketches, and other literature, se lected with a strict reference to its purity and ex cellence. It will zealously maintain the cause of education. Particular care will be paid to its commercial department. The readers of the Chronicle <s• Sentinel have had, in the editorial columns of that paper for the last twenty months, specimens of such ability for writing as the subscriber possesses; the leading editorials for that period, with few exceptions, having been written by himself. He desires to cultivate a cordial good feeling with his brethren of the Whig and Democratic Press. The latter shall find in The Republic, a frank, manly, i and honorable opposition. The Subscriber, in conclusion, ask- for a gen erous confidence and liberal patronage; and promises in return, constant and in creased EXERTIONS TO PROMOTE THE PUBLIC , ENTERTAINMENT AND GOOD, AND THE TRIUMPH OF THE PRINCIPLES OE THE WHIG PARTY. The Republic will he published Tri-Weekly and Weekly, and also Daily, if the patronage will authorize it, and will be printed on new and beau tiful type. As the first number will be issued at or near the commencement of the next year, the Sub scriber respectfully asks of those who favor the enterprize, to send on their names as early as pos sible. The Tri-Weekly Republic will he issued on a medium sheet, the details of news to be copious, without unnecessary prolixity. The Weekly pa per will be a large sheet, '(26 by 38 inches.)

IN offering this valuable medicine to the people ! ol Georgia, for the relief and cure of many dis- | eases incident to a Southern climate. I do not claim 1 fqrjit infallibility; neither’do 1 say it will cure all diseases. But in Chronic Liver Affections and Dyspepsia, 1 can confidently advise and recom mend its use, from my personal observation and use of the article in my own practice. This article is favorably received wherever it lias been used. I am allowed to refer to Mr. George Heard of Troup, Mr. John Warren of Columbus, Mr. McKaffee of Cobb, Mr. Asbury Hull of Athens, Mr. William 1). I crrell of Putnam, Rev. John E. Dawson of La grange; to which a great number of names might be added, who bear their testimony to its value.— Dr. Henry Branham has used this medicine in his j own case, and has prescribed it to many others, gives it as his opinion, that it is one of the safest and most valuable medicines that can be used in imperfect digestion, liver complaints, constipation and irregular state of the bowels. It is useful in billions complaints, to persons recovering from bil lions fevers,and in sick or nervous head-ache. To I pregnant women, who are subject to costiveness, this medicine is well suited. In regulating the state ' of the stomach and bowels, and promoting digestion, it is particularly useful. I could append a long list of certificates, but for i bear, prefering to rely on the virtues of the medi cine to sustain itself. The medicine is a gentle and j certain cathartic, tonic and sudorific.

I ~ " ~ FLORIDA « CITIZENS of this beautiful and healthy State allow me, a native Georgian, the pleasure to tall jour attention to one of the greatest and most Usclul Medicines ever discovered—one of a simple and liarmless nature—one which has proved itself to he an infallible remedy for the FEVER AND AGUE, effecting a certain and speedj' cure. The time mentioned is truly very short, and will be doubted by many, but 1 have certificates from the j first Physicians and of gentlemen of the highest rc ; spectability of Savannah, where I reside. It is ; known by all that a poison will soon circulate through and effect the whole human system, then I why not a simple and one that is harmless? This Medicine is not a Northern Humbug, but a Soi/th ern Remedy altogether. It is made in the city of Savannah —it is recommended by citizens of Su I vannah, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, &c.; and to be candid, all mj r Printing is Southern, executed | by Mr. E. J. Purse, of Savannah; so you will at once sec it is altogether a Southerner, and if it was my intention to humbug any community, I would I not choose gentlemen’s names that arc well! known i and in the same place where I reside. 1 submit the testimony' of residents of this city, among whom are the first Physicians, and I presume you are acquainted with many of them. The Medi i cine offered to the world, is a safe, certain and j speedy cure for Fever and Ague, which it will do I in the very short space of Twelve Hours. As Flori da is a newly settled country, it is liable to a great I deal of this troublesome disease, and it will be to the advantage of everj- family to keep a supply on ! hand. Citizens of Florida: it is not my intention to wearj- your patience with a string of nonsense ; or of advertisements, for lean assure 'you that 1 am pretty well used up in this part of the work; but 1 wish you to try this Medicine and satisfy your selves, and you will for the first time believe’ that a disease could be cured in Twelve Hours, and the only way to prove it is to try it. I really do not know why a Southern Medicine | should not be as good as one that is manufactured j at the North. My Medicine has effected a perfect | cure where all others have failed. 1 admit there arc many other remedies, but not one that can be I come so popular, and so certain of curing this com -1 plaint, as Humphreys' Remedy for Fever and A one. Onty think for a moment. Twelve Hours to lie a healthy man! It is strange, very strange, that truth ! should need so much boasting at last; but such is this world. I will not tax you with an}' more of this, but willingly I leave the Medicine to recom mend itself to Florida. And now, to close, / pledge my honor the Medicine does not contain any Mercury or any Mineral Preparation whatever; it is a Vege table only. I am respectfully, yours, &c. W. HUMPHREYS. Jr.. Druggist, Corner Bay and Drayton-streets, Savannah. SOUTH CAROLINA. PLANTERS of this noble State, I ask you to give the above Medicine one and a fair trial and you will find it to excel all the humbugs of the North.
