JJ, ISO. lt THE THOROUGH BRED RACE HORSE LIN WOOD. HAVING wi hilrawu Lmwooil from the turf in consequence of an injury in his legs, he will stand the ensuing spring season, one half ofhis time at my stables about three mil<-s East of Columbus, and the other half at Maj. Henry Kendall’s on Upatoy. I he season to commence at mv stables on the 15th day of February and close about the last of July. Lmwood will be let to mares at thirty dollars the sea son, and fifty to ensure, and one dollar to the groom in every instance. In every case when the mare is sent it will be expected that a note for the season money will accompany the mare. Mares will be kept both at Maj. Kendall’s and at the Proprietor’s own farm at the usual rates, arid every care taken to prevent acci dents and escapes, but no liability will be incurred for either. Pedigree and Description. Linwood is a light chesnut, of remarkable beauty and fine form, fifteen and three-quarter hands high, of gay, graceful, spirited action, with a very docil# tem per, a quality much to be desired in a rate horse, and which runs in the veins of all the Pacolets, to whom he is closely allied in blood. He was five years old last spring, was bred by Mr. John Conually of Alabama, the h eeder of Jouu Bascomb, Bill Austin, Gander, and other distinguished runners, and was got by the celebrated race horse Wild Bill, dam by old Pacolet, grand dam by imp. Diomed, great grand dam by imp. Wildair, great great grand dam by imp. Shark, &c. Wild Bill was by Sir Archy, out of McNorrel’s old sorrel mare, Mariab, a Georgia nag, who was also the dam of Charles Kemble and other good runners— Mariah was by Gallatin, dam by imp. Bedford, (also the sire of Gallatin,) g. and. by Gen. McPherson’s De bonair, g. g. and. by grey Diomed, g. g. g and. bv Wildait, &c. Pacolet, the sire of Linwood’s dam, was by imp. Citizen, and was the progenitor of most of the best racing stock of [he West. From the pedigree it will be seen that Linwood traces immediately to the very best English horses ever imported into America, viz: imp. Diomed, imp. Bedford, imp. Citizen, imp. Wildair, imp. Shark, &c. ft is the opinion of many of our most distinguished breeders and judges that the descendants of these horses have not been improved by the recent fashiona ble importations. Linwood was let to a few mares the two last seasons and proved himself to be a sure foal getter. His colts are remarkably large and hand some, and will compare with the gel of any horse in the Stale. I can witli great confidence recommend him to my fi lends and the public as a first rate horse in every respect to breed from, either for the saddle, the farm, or the turf. Performances. Linwood made his first race on the Ist day of May. 1837, over the Western Course at Columbus, Ga., being then three years old, and carrying full 86 lbs. On that occasion, he won the two mile Jockey Club purse, at two heats and with great ease, beating Black Duke. Cronometer, and tho celebrated two mile hors<- Blue Black, in 3m. and 50 sec. each heat. In conse quence of the extraordinary promise exhibited in this race I purchased him from Col. John Blevins, and immediately afterwards, at his earnest solicitation, permitted him to be taken to Alabama, in the stable of Col. Blevins. In travelling to Montgomery he was very badly foundered, which doubtless affected his racing powers ever alter. In the fall of 1837 he was taken to Greensborough, Ala. by Col. Blevins, and although in very bad condi'ion won the Jockey Club purse two mile heats, beating a good field of horses and making the best race which was made during ihe week. He was then laken to M bile and entered for the Jockey Club purse two mile heats, was beaten the first heat and withdrawn. He was then taken to Vlon'gomery in January 1838. and again beaten two m:!e heals. He was returned to me in the spring of 1838 in a wretched condition, and with the tendons of both legs greatly inflamed and enlarged; he was then turned out until fall, when he was put in training, but his legs became so much swollen that it was necessary to blister them severely and stop his exercise, in con sequence of which he did not start at Ihe races ever the Western Course that fall. He was then taken to Macon, and with only two weeks exercise and still complaining ii his legs, lie was started for the Jockey Club purse, four mile heats, against I liana and Gerow, he won the first heat in the best time ever made over the track, and was beaten the two last byGerow,both in good time and af era very severe and close contest. Two weeks after he was again started the four mile day at Milledgeville again-t ‘.crow and Alice Ann. A few minutes before the start he broke loose from the groom and run about two miles over the track, from place to place, with a crowd at his heels; he caught, and in this worried condition started in the race in which he was beaten bv Gerow. He was again beaten in Augusta in December following, three mde heats, by Col. Hampton’s Emily and others. The condition of his legs was such that he could not be traint din the spring of 1839. In the fall lie was again put in training, atid although greatly complaining, won the Jockev C ttb purse, three mile heats, over the course at Columbus, beating Gen. Scott’s West Wind and others at two teats in 5 56. 6.00. Two weeks afierwur ds. lie w as started the four mile day at Macon, and run one h-ai in winch he was again beaten by Gercw. After the heat, the tendons ofhis legs became so much inflamed and enlarged that 1 was sstisfied tl.ev would completely give way in another heat, and I withdrew him from the race and from the turf. Linwood’s first rare over the course at Columbus under the < ircumstancps. the b st two mile race ever made over that track, an I exhibited first rate sneed, whil t his t vclve mile race at Macon with GerovF shewed that he was • hr>r of bottom. He has never started in good condition since his first race, although lie has made a great many and some very eood raees. t have no hesitation in expressing the opinion that ifhe had not been foundered as stated, and otherwise injured, he would have made ore of the most distinguished race horses ofhis dav. ALFRED IVERSON. Columbus Ga., Jan. 16, 1840. 51 ts GERMAN, INDIAN AND TIIOMSONIAN OR, PRIMITIVE, PRACTICAL. BOTANICO ZVJE3ICAL SCHOOL. Located seven miles Lust of Marion, near Hamburg IN uniting these several Medical Systems or modes of practice, Dr. B. R. THOMAS, the Principal of the School, begs leave to state, for the information of the afflicted and public generally, that he has been many years engaged in the practice ot Medicine, and has devoted much of his time, labor and practice, with many of the most intelligent and successful German and Indian Doctors, both in the United Slates and Canada, to the treatment of acute and chronic dis ea es of every name, stage and type, and of the most malignant character ; and has, by practicing with them, acquired a thorough knowledge of all their valuable secret Recipes and manner of treatment, which is far superior to aav thing known or taught in the Medical Schools, and win. h has been successful, by the bles sings of the Aimtghtv, in restoring to health, hundreds and thou ui is of persons that had been treated for a number of years by many of the most learned and s tentific Physicians of the day, and pronounced to be cn’ireiy beyond the reach of remedy, and given over idle. Yet by the simple, efficacious Vegetable Medi tctties, not poisons, they were snatched from the jaws of the grim monster, death, and restored to health, the greatest of all earthly blessingsfor what is riches and elegant dwellings, wilhoat health to enjoy them. Health is the poor man’s wealth, and the rich man’s bliss. To a man laboring under disease, the world is little better than a dreary solitude, a cheerless waste enlivened by no variety, a joyless scene cheered by no social sweets ; for the soul in a diseased body, like a martyr in his dungeon, may retain its value, but it has lost its usefulness. Will be added to this institution, as soon as the ne cessary arrangements can be made, an infirmary—the cold, hot, tepid, shower,sulphur and the German, Rus sian and Ihomsonian Medicated Vapor Baths; and every thing that can possibly be of any advantage in restoring the sick to health, ot relieving suffering hu manity, will be promptly and constantly attended to; and where the student will learn by practical expert-! ence, (the best kind of logic,) the true principles of tin; healing art. Price of tuition will be §2OO, payable in advance. Id/ 2 ’ All persons afflicted with lingering and chron ic diseases, (of any name, state, stage or type, for we have battled disease in a thousand forms,) who cannot conveniently apply in person, will send the symptoms of their diseases in writing to Dr. B. R. Thomas, Hamburg. Ala., where Medicines will be prepared in the best manner to suit each case. Although they may have been of many years standing, and treated by a dozen d'fferent Doctors, is no good reason why thev cannot be cured by the subscriber. Persons liv ing at a distance must expect to pay for their Medi cines when they get them, as no Medicines will be sent from the office on a credit.

Finn the Comedian. —As usual when a con spicuous personage dies,the corps editorial art on the qui ttirelbi the forgolen adventures auo anecdotes ofhis life. The loHowing is rela eii of Finn the comedian by lh£ New York Atlas. Finn was once, a long lime ago, a witness lor the prosecution in a case before the Common pleas in Boston, and his testimony was so direct and conclusi\'e that the counsel for ihe defence thought it neecessary to discredit hint. The following dialogue en sued. ‘ Mr. Finn, you live in* street; do you not?* ‘ Yes, I do.’ ‘You have lived there a great while?’ ‘Several years.’ ‘Does not a female live there under your protection ?’ ‘There does.’ ‘Does she bear your name r ‘She is certainly known in the neighbor hood by the name ot Mrs. i inn. ‘ls she your wife?’ ‘No we were never legally married.’ •That will do, sir; 1 have no more to ask.’ ‘But I have something more to answer, sir,’ replied Finn with spirit. “The Mrs. Finn of whom vou have been pleased to speak with such levity is my mother, and I have known but one man base enough to breathe aught against her.—You, sir, can guess who he is. True, she is under my protection. She pro tected me through my infancy and childhood, and it is but paying a small part of the debt I owe her, to do as much for her in her old age.’ THE SCHOOL MASTER ABROAD, The Baltimore Clipper tells a good story, of which the following is the substance. A board of ‘ School Commissioners,’ encumber ed a consequential little village in Maryland, being in want of a teacher, advertised in the newspapers for ‘ a well disposed moral man, who was capable of teaching the dead lan guages, and did not chew tobacco or drink whiskey.’ After a fortnight of this advertis ing had been elaborated, a rawboned Yankee mac!c iiis appearance, with a knife and pine stick in one hand, and a Cape Cod Protection, alias a oake of gingerb ead, in the other, and held the following dialogue with the Com mittee aforesaid: ‘ Well, sir,’ said the chairman, eyeing the cand date from head to foot, ‘do you possess the necessary requirements for a public school teacher ?’ ‘ I guess I do,’ answered Slick, whittling his stick. ‘ Do you understand Latin ?’ asked one of the Committee men, a Dutch farmer. ‘ I guess I do, 5 replied Slick again, rounding the end of the stick with his knife. ‘ Well, let’s hear some of your Latin,’ said the Chairman. ‘ Quimbo hie squashicum, et punkinitum lingurn,’ said Slick, drawing his coat sleeve slowly under bis nose. ‘ Humph !’ exclaimed the Dutchman, ‘ ish dat Latin? Who’s te author?’ ‘ Josephus,’ replied Slick; ‘ he says in his life of Governor Hancock. ‘ Sic transit gloria Monday morning—Hancockibus quad erat demonstradum.’ ‘ Dat’s croot!’ exclaimed the Dutchman, rubbing til hands, - tere never Vas belter Latins!’ ‘ Now, sir,’ said the chairman, ‘ I suppose vou understand geography?’ ‘ I guess I do,’ said Slick, sharpening the end o( his stick. ‘ How far have you been ?’ ‘ As far as the District of Columby.’ ‘ What State is it in ?’ ‘ A state of desperation.’ ‘ What latitude are we in ?’ ‘ According to the themoineter, we’re ten degrees below zero.’ ‘ Which is the most western point ol Nortlr America.’ ‘Cape Cod.’ ‘Good. Now, sir, let us know how far you studied mathematics. What’s the area of a square acre of land ?’ ‘ That depends upon the quality.’ replied Slick, snapping the blade of his knife. ‘ Well, suppose it to be good c> rn land ?’ ‘ Why, it depends upon the number of hills.’ ‘ Say—five hundred.’ Guess you might as well tell a fellow how n/anv grains to the hid?’ 4 F ive.’ ‘Then, accordin’to Euclid, it would be 742 feet horizontally perpendicular.’ ‘ Excellent! Pray, sir, where are you from? ‘ Staunton, down in the Bay State —and I can do ’most anything.’ ‘ No doubt, but there is one thing you cannot do; you cannot humbug us. \ou can g@.’ A Military Dandy of the Bon Ton.— ‘Will you take supper, Sir Harry?’ said a noble hostess to a lieutenant of the Tenth, who was rolling and quizzing, and attitudin arvirtg through herspUndid apartments. “‘ Neo, my Leddy, I cut all suppers decoid edly.’ ‘ You play r’ t ‘ Neo, I cut all keords too.’ ‘ Then vou must dance.’ ‘ Neo, my dear Leddy Mary, I abbominate dancing,’ ‘ But you must, Sir Harry; I have a part ner for you.’ 4 Weil, trot her out,’ A Mississippi Romance. —A correspondent of the Natchez Courier, writing from the seat of government of Mississisippi, in a long let ter about banks and banking, gives currency to the following slo r y of adventure : I turn from the legislature to give an item which smacks of romance and novelty. To day there arrived in the stage, in company wite Judge Bodlev, a fair faced and juvenile passenger in pantaloons arrayed, and on stopping at the mansion of Madame Dixon, the said personage wasconsigned to a room ir. company with Senator Thomas B. Rives. In a few minutes suspicions were set afloat that the stranger aforesaid was a woman, whereupon Mrs. Dixon in curious trepidation, repaired to the presence of her new guest. You are a woman,” said Mrs. D. ‘ I know Ptm,” replied the stranger,” “but listen to my story.” She then related an adventure that far eclipsed the dangers braved by the lover of Orlando; she had been cruelly treated, her husband had fled the country, and resolved to find him she changed her dress and went to the Mississippi River, where she secured a berth on one of the steamboats as cabin box tins life she followed up and d->wn the western waters for eight months; despairing of the object of her anxious pursuit she is now on her way to the bosom of her family, in one of the eastern counties of Mississippi. When her sex was discovered several laidies and gentlemen recalled her acquain tance, and by the kindness of her friends, she was soon transformed and conducted to the parlour glittering in all the sp'end >r of her sex. The stories she told were intensely in teresting and all true —while a cabin boy she had two or three fights, in all of wh'ch she came off’ victorious! Who will say the Mississippi ladies are not brave and do KOt lover We intend to write the history of this lady for one of the annuals; the materiels are ample, her beauty, chivalry, devotion, and other heroic qualities! Look out for t/ie story of the “cabin boy wife.” JEFFERSON AND ADAMS “ The veil of eternity was first lifted up Irotn before the eyes of Mr. Jefferson. For several weeks, his strength had been gradu ally tailing, though his min i’s vigour remained unimpaired. As he drew nearer to the last, and no expectation remained that bis term could be much protracted, he expressed no other wish, than that he might live to breathe the air of the fiftieth anniversary of indepen dence. This he was graciously permitted to do. But it was evident, on The morning of the fourth, that Providence intended that this day, consecrated by his deed, should now be solemnized by his death. On some mo mentary revival of bis wasting strength, the friends around would have soothed him with the hope of continuing; but he answered their kind encouragements only .by saying fie did not fear to die. Once, as he drew near to his close, he lifted up his languid head, and murmured with a smile, “ It is the fourth of July, 5 ’ while Lis repeated exclamation on the last great day, was JYune dimittis Domino, “ Lord lettest thou thy servant depart in peace.” He departed in peace a little before one o’clock of this memorable day: uncon scious that his co-patriot, who, fifty years before, had shared its efforts and perils, was now the partner of its glory. “ Mr. Adams’ mind had also wandered back over the long line of great things, with which his life was filled, and found rest on the thought of independence. When the discharge of artillery proclaimed the triumph ant anniversary, he pronounced it “ a great, a glorious day.” The thri.ling word of inde pendence, which, fifty years before, in tl e ardor of his manly strength, be had s mnded to the nations, at the head of his conntiy’s councils, was now amongst the last that dwelt on his inquiring lips; and when, towards the hour of noon, he felt, his noble heart growing cold within him, the last emotion that warmed it was, “ Jeffe/son still survives.” But lie survives not; he is gone: Ye are gone to gether ! Take them, great God, together to thy rest.”— Edward Everett. From tho Wabash Indiana Enquirer of tho 4th inst, ‘ HEAR OLD MOSES DAWSON SPEAK.’ We this week commence a series of letters addressed by Moses Dawson, Esq., to Gen. Harrison, and ask for them the careful peru sal of our readers, whether democrats or whigs. Mr. Dawson is the biographer of Gen. Harrison, and every thing he has ever said in favor of Gen. Harrison is seize i upon by ti cm for political capital. At any rate, he is acknowledged by them as “good au thority.” TO MAJ. GEN. W. H. HARRISON. Sir: The peculiar relation in which Island towards you as your biographer, as well as my position as the advocate of the democrat ic republican principles, induces me to address you bn the present occasion. It perhaps may be assumed, that he who wrote a narrative of v.c., ---> - • >•- character and conduct as a statesman, a citi zen, and a soldier, could not consistently give opposition to your election to the presidency of the United Stales. It is under the convic tion that many have adopted this opinion that I now come forward and assign m y reasons for that ppposition. That it is a painful as well as an ungracious task to give opposition to the elevation of a friend to any office, I am free to declare, and more particularly is it so to me when that office is the highest to which any man can aspire; but I flatter myself that this circum itance is the most conclusive evidence of my disinterestedness in the case. In the work alluded to, I have represented you as a-brave and capable commander, a disinterested patriot and an honest man ; all of which I did, and do yet believe you to be, and I to the utmost of my weak ability defended you against what I conscientiously believe to be the foulest slanders, and of those efforts in your favor I have never yet had reason to repent. If in my future temarks, then, I may impugn vour political opinions, or contest your judgment on constitutional questions, I must not be considered as doubting of the purity of your motives or the honesty of your intentions. In addition to the qualifications above sta ted, I did conceive that you were a democrat c republican of the school of the “real apostle of democracy, Thomas Jefferson. 1 found arrayed against you the men who had been hostile to bis principles and opposed to his administration, and from the foul slanders of those men I did my best to defend you. It was with no less surprise than chagrin, I af terwards found that you approved of the principles set forth in Mr. Adams’ first mes sage to Congress after his accession to the Presidential Chair, and to express your entire approval of the measures of his administration, among which were the loss of the British Colonial trade, that of France, and that wild unconstitutional scheme of the mission of Panama ; for though we differed in opinion between General Jackson and Mr. Chy, as candidates for the Presidency in 1324, I did not perceive that the difference arose from political sentiments, but merely from personal preference. We both wished, as I believed, to have a western man and a democrat to succeed Mr. Monroe, and in these respects both gentlemen at that time stood equal; but I so >n had cause to change my opinion of the democracy of the latter; his condition and corrupt bargain with an avowed federalist, and one whose political sentiments he has condemned and denounced as an enemy to the western country, gave a very different view of bis character, and deprived me of all confidence in his principles—the man who had gained much of his celebrity and popularity by adhering to the doctrine of the right of the constituent to instruct his representative, and the duty of the latter to obey those in structions, to throw himself into the arms and make a President of one who repudiated the doctrine, and afterwards in the most solemn manner declared in the face of the world, in his message to Congress that for the repre sentative to be palsied by the will of his con stituents was to cast away ihe bounties of Providence, induced ine to withdraw all con fidence from Henry Clay as a democratic republican. Alter the jugglery of February 1325, which placed Mr. Adams at the head of the Govern ment, and Mr. Clay in the Slate depajlment. and presuming that you weie fully aware of the corrupt arrangement between them, I suggested to you the propriety of abandoning b ilh, and taking up Gen. Jackson as the caa didate for the Presidency in 1928, who you must have observed was the favorite of the American people. On this occasion it was that I first iearnt your predilection for the federal principles, when you declared your approval of the principles avowed by Mr. Adams in his first message tp Congress, and the incipient measures of his administration, which had given offence to all true democrats, and revived the long extinguished hopes of the federalists and brought from some of their leaders the exulting exclamation, that 1 those who fell with the first Adams would rise with the second;’ and on this occasion you candidly acknowledged your belief, that my sugges tion was dictated by the purest motives of Iriendship towards yourself as well as by an anxious solicitude for the public interest, and stated to me that conscientiously you could not comply with my wishes. Hence it was, General, that under feelings of deep mortifi cation at having so far mistaken your politi cal sertiments, 1 proposed that at our future meetings we should abstain from all discussion ol political subjects, to which you readily agreed. The position which you now occupy as a candidate for the Presidency, and that in which I stand as the advocate of another, and of different principles from those which you avow, have induced me to pursue another and I a different course towards you, which course j is, in my opinion, as much due to the inter ests and welfare of the country as to my own character as the biographer of General Har rison. Your letter to Harmer Denny, in which you accept of the nomination as a candidate lor the Presidential Chair, offered by the anti masonic convention, has been long enough before the public here toshowthat it is genu ine, and as such tacitly acknowledged by you. I propose to review it in a few suc ceeding numbers; I therefore for the present take my leave, and to-morrow shall proceed in my review of that letter, which will then be laid before the reader. M.
