He found that the matter from the pustules upon the udder ot: a cow contained a principle which would produce the almost divine results for which he had so pa t tenth and anxiously sought. Opposition arose. Inter*! te 1 persons, high in social rank and profes sional jh sition, ridicul'd what they dared not deny! They averted 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 tills 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 i n to the Company from all parts ot 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 see that they are genuine. Among these, are the names of the Rev. N. Bangs. D.

LE HOY’S SARSAPARILLA AND WILD CHERRY PILLS, Tub only known Medicine that at the same time Purges, Purifies, and Strengthens the system. Extract from a letter ter if ten by Dr. Gregory Tisdale, Presiding Physician of the Fleet-street Hospital. LONDON, July 7th, 1840. DR. LE ROY’S Pills are a new medicine which lias just appeared, and is fast taking the places of all others of the same class. These pills arc composed of many ingredients, but the two principal ones are Sarsaparilla and Wild Cher ry,so united that they act together; the one, through its 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 thev do the work of two medicines, and do it much better than any two we know of; for they remove nothing trom the system but the impurities; so that while they purge they strengthen; and hence they cause uo 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 slackness attending the operations of this most ex oellent of medicines.which never strains or tortures the digestive functions, but causes them to work a a perfectly natural manner; and whence per son-taking them do not become pale and eman ciated. but the contrary; for while it is the pro perty of the Sarsaparilla, anted as it with other ngredieats. to remove all that is foreiurn and im pare, 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 Athena, Got-, on the \Zth of May, 1848. EDITED BY WILLIAM C. RICHARDS. YIA HERE is not, south of the Potomac, a single I weekly Journal whose sole object is to devel op and foster literary taste and talent in the South, and this fact is certainly a sufficient reason for an earnest attempt to establish such a journal. The failure of previous efforts cannot be regarded by i the intelligent mind as an argument against such I an attempt. The failures may have been, and j probably were, the result of circumstances no lon ! gc r existing. The need of such an organ in our midst is so universally acknowledged, 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 ment of the South in commerce, manufactures and interna! improvement, imparativcly 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 man) considerations, cun be readily accomplished. The Editor is already assured of the support of his able coadjutors in the Orion magazine, and also of much other assistance from the most pro 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 formation 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 he 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 isone 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, tlie 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 wiit* {taper 2. It will furnish to single suhscrilers at Two Dollars per annum in advance-, and to club's of six for Ten Dollars. CTAII communications, not containing remit tances or solicited articles, must be post-paid to en sure attention. desiring an exchange, will please copy and notice this prospectus, anil send their papers marked <l Gazette” Athens, Ga. WJM. C. RICHARDS. April 25 G PROSPECTUS. FOR THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX. 11TE issue this Prospectus to apprise the public v ▼ of renewed preparations on our part to pub lish the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE & APPEN DIX for the approaching session, and to invite subscriptions. The two Houses having contracted with us for the work, on such terms as enable us now to make complete reports, to multiply and 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 toits usefulness by extending still further its large circulation. This last is not the least important point in the vie wjof t 'ongress. faithful and durable reports of 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 ofits remote constituents*—that it obtains easy access and holds communication w ith them from day today, and renders the government real ity representative. Having received from all parties in Congress the strongest marks of approbation and confidence in the liberal means and permanent contract voted to continue the work, we shall not be found tv an ting 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 ol abiding concern. The war, it- origin and conduct by officers in the cabinet and in the field, will furnish subjects of profound inquiry and consideration. The terms oi peace, the dis position to be made of conquests, the consequences to be drawn from all that lias been done, as affect ing parlies in tiiis 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, fcsuch a fi.-lcl for deliberation and action was never presented to any 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 be decided by arms or diplo macy. And whatever is developed concerning this vast and interesting matter on the floor 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. moPons, and other proceedings, are given in the form of the Journals, with the yeas 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 speeches of the members of Congress, written out or revised by themselves. It is printed in the same form as the Congressional Globe, ami usually makes about the same number of pages durin< r 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 and one 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 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 w'e 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—g 7 a copy. We have no surplus copies of the Appendix for that session.

UNDER-SHIRTS AND DRAWERS OF MERINO, COTTON, SILK, and all other kinds, cheap, at Oct. 17 WM, O. PRICE & CO'S, PROSPECTUS r OF A NEW JOURNAL! THE REPUBLIC. [lTThis is the title ol a New Paper, which the subscriber proposes to publish in the : citv of Augusta. . The Republic will advocate with zeal, and main- j tain with fidelity, the great and conservative prin- j ciples of the Whig Party. Home Industry will receive a cordial support, and be ardently sus tained in opposition to systems calculated to fo i ter foreign interests at the expense of American. The Distribution among the States of the Proceeds of the Sales of the Public Lands, will be urged as soon as the state of the national finances will permit, as a measure of ex pediency 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 ol 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 tic able period. For the sake of brevity, we will define our course no farther in reference to Nation al politics and atlairs. The Republic will as ardently sustain Whig policy and measures in Georgia as it will those for the Union at large. The views ol the subscriber, in reference to State interests, have been so often put forth in the columns of the Chronicle Jj* 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 Georgia, 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. . Bis the fervent wish of the subscriber to see I the South and North linked in the bonds ofper | petnal harmony and friendship. Their differences will he to The Republic a source of constant solicitude, and its efforts will be warmly directed to heal their broken affections,and point to a nation At pathway of glory, marked out by our Con stitution AND THE WISE PRECEPTS OF OCR POLITICAL FATHERS. A great struggle—a period full of danger and worthy of solemn thought —peers up before us in the eventful future. lien all hope ofreconcilation 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 OF HIS COUNTRYMEN, AND 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. Resides its political information, the Republic will furnish the j CURRENT NEWS OF the day, and will be constant- I ly enriched with interesting tales, essays, his torical sketches, and other literature, se ’ lected with a strict reference to its purity and ex- J : cellence. It will zealously maintain the cause of | i EDUCATION. Particular care will be paid to its j * COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT. , The readers of the Chronicle <S* Sentinel have i had. in the editorial columns of that paper for the lust twenty months, specimens of such ability for I writing as she subscriber possesses; the lk \ding editorials for that period, with few exceptions. 1 | 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, and honorable opposition. I Ihe Subscriber, in conclusion, asks for a gen j F.ROUS CONFIDENCE and LIBERAL PATRONAGE; ' and PROMISES IN RETURN, CONSTANT AND IN j CREASED EXERTIONS TO PROMOTE THE PUBLIC 1 ' ENTERTAINMENT AND GOOD, AND THE TRIUMPH > Ol THE PRINCIPLES OF THE WHIG PARTY. i he Republic will be published Tri-Weekly and A eekly, and also Daily, if the patronage will ’ authorize it, and will be printed on new and beau -1 tiful type.
