THOMAS, the Principal of the School, begs leave to state, for the information of the afflicted and publie generally', that he has been many years engaged in the practice of Medicine, and has devoted much of Ins time, labor and practice, with many of the most intelligent and successful German and Indian Doctors, both in the United States and Canada, to the treatment of acute and chronic dis eases of every name, stage and type, and of the most malignant character ; and lias, by practicing with them, acquired a thorough knowledge of all their valuable secret Recipes and manner of treatment, which is tar superior to any thing known or taught m the Medical Schools, and which has been successful, by the bles sings of the Almighty, i:i restoring to health, hundreds and thousands of persons that had been treated for a number of years by many of the most learned and scientific Pnysicians of the day, and pronounced to be entirely beyond the reach of remedv, anil given over o die. Vet by the simple, efficacious Vegetable Medi tcines, not poisons, they were snatched from the jaws of the grim monster, death, and restored to health, the greatest of all earthly blessings; for what is riches and elegant dwellings', without 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 he made, an infirmary—the cold, hot, tepid, shower,sulphur and the German, Rus sian and rhotnsonian Medicated Vapor Baths; and every thing that can possibly be ol any advantage in restoring the sick to health’or relieving suifering hu manity, will be promptly and constant:v attended to; and where the student will learn by practical experi ence, (the best kind of logic,) the true principles of i. ) healing art.

His plans are so well matured, by having, at his command, the most < fficient aid, located at different points, and suc cessfully harmonizing, that he cannot but flatter him self that he will have more complete success, if possi ble, in future, than heretofore. In defiance of the Ab olitionists, he can cause to be secured any fugitive slave, who shall be north of Mason and Dixon’s line. There neither is, nor can there be, any law of this or anv other Ssaie, which can militate against the Fe derafConstitution, which authorises the master, or his regularly constituted Agent to arrest his fugitive slave, take him before a Judge or Magistrate, prove property, and take him away. To the end therefore, it will be necessary for those who may wish the services of Mr. P M to forward him a Power of Attorney, duly execut ed, and minutely descriptive of the fugitive, and also a fee of twenty dollars to defray preliminary and contin gent expenses. When the slave shall have been se cured and handed over to the master, one hundred dol lars additional charge will be made.

THE present Publishers and Editors ofihe “Ne penthes,” after striving to maintain that ntu trai ty on political subjects which they had partly j,re mised to their patrons, find it vain any longer to con tinue the attempt. Did vve regard our own personal easo and quiet, or did we desire to increase the pecu niary profits if business, vve should keep up a strict neutrality. But we believe the existing state of af fairs in our country will not allow any men, situated as we are, if they have one spark of patr otism in them, to r main silent on those subjects, and to keep their conscience silent at the same time. As vve are yet unbought by the rank-power of the country, and as we intend to remain free_ those who are disposed to lend us the aid we solicit, may feel con fident that we shall continue to speak freely and open ly on all matters of public po icy. At present vve hold ourse ves bound to that party known as the Democra tic Republican; for we believe rhe principles and mea sures supported by that party, are those best calculat ed to perpetuate the Union, and to yield peace and prosperity to every portion of the Union—not to op press one section for the benefit of ihe other. Thus far, only, are vve partizans—that so long as the Democratic party maintains its present creed, we remain with it—so soon as it attempts to bring so ward principles which, afier due reflection, we think to be improper, so soon will we desert it; for, ttniike many who now support the whig candidate, vve are not slaves to the name of a party. Our object Is to uphold the right and discard the wrong—no government can be permanent which is not based on the sound principles of right and justice. In opposing thf wrong we oppose the Harrison party, by themselves called Whigs; in supporting the right , vve support the Republican Dem ocratic party,—and thus vve trust to prove a ‘Cham pion of Democracy.’ Older and more able soldiers in the good cause there may be, but none more faithful than ourselves. To our opponents vve tender our columns, for candid and liberal discussion of principles, as freely as wo.of fered the columns of the Nepenthes. They refused to avail themselves of the offer vve then made; how this, which vve now make, will be accepted, vve know not; vve neither ask nor expect any favors at their hands. The ‘Champion’ will be published every Saturday morning, at Three Dollars a year in advance, or Four Dol ars, if not paid before the expiration of the year. It will be printed on fine paper, with new type. Eve ry attention shall be paid to its typographical appear ance, and its contents shall be so at ranged that the greatest possible quantity of reading matter maybe in serted. Irwin ton, Ala.

March 14. 1840. 4 in6m JOB PRINTING Don-: tip neaffy and immediate, *if net sooner ‘ The Stampedo. —About an hour after tiie usual time at which the horses were brought in for ihe night, hobbled, and otherwise se cured near the tents and tires ofiheir respect ive owners, an indistinct sound arose, like the muttering of distant thunder. As it approach ed it became mingled with the howling of all thedogsintheencampment,and with the shouts and veils of the Indians. In coining nearer, it rose high above all these accompaniments: and resembled the lashing of a heavy surt up on the beach. On and on it rolled towards us, and partly from my own hearing, partly from the hurried words and actions of the tenants of our lodge, I gathered that it must be the fierce and uncontrollable gallop of thousand ofpanic-stricken horses. As this living torren, drew nigh, I sprang to the front of my tent seized my favorite riding mare, and, in addi tion to the hobbles which confined her, twist ed the long larvette round her forelegs, then led her immediately in front ofihe fire, hoping that the excited and maddened flood of horses would divide and pass on each side ol it. * * * As the galloping mass drew nigh, our horses began to snort, prick up their ears, and then to tremble; and when it burst upon us, they became completely un g tvernable Horn terror. All broke loose and joined their affrighted companions, except my mare, which struggled with the fury ofa wild beast, and I only retained her by using all my strength, and at last throwing her on her side. On went the maddened troop, trampling in their headlong speed over skins, dried meat, &c., and throwing down some of the smaller tents. They were soon lost in tiie darkness of night and in the wilds of the prairie, and nothing more was heard of them save the dis tant yelping of the curs, who continued their ineffectual pursuit. This is a Stampedo, and is one of the most extraordinary scenes I have ever witnessed, as may easily be imagined by any one who reflects that this race of terror is run in darkness, only partially lighted by the fitful glare of half-extinguished fires, and that it is, moreover, run by several thousand steeds, driven by terror, to ungovernable madness. [Murray. Remarkable instance of Canine Sagacity. — A gentleman of property had a mastiff of great size, very watchful, and, altogether, a fine intelligent animal. Though often let out to range about, he was in general chained up during the day in a wooden house, construct ed for his comfort and shelter. On a certain day, when let out, he was observed to attach himself particularly to his master ; and when the servant, as usual, came to tie him up, he clung so to his master’s feet—showed such anger when they attempted to force him away, and altogether was so particular in his manner, that the gentleman desired him to be left as he was, and with him fie continued the whole day ; and when night came on, still he staid by him, and on going towards his bed room, the dog resolutely, and lor the first time in his life, went up along with him, and rush ing into the room, took refuge under the bed, fiom whence neither blows nor caresses could draw him. In the middle of the night am in burst into the room, and dagger in hand at tempted to stab the sleeping gentleman ; but the dog darted at the robber’s neck, fastened his fangs in him, and so kept him down that his master had time to call for assistance and secure the ruffian, who turned out to be the coachman, and who afterwards confessed, that seeing his master receive a large sum of money, he and the groom conspired together to 10b and murder him—and they plotted their whole scheme leaning over the roof of the dog’s house. — Dublin Magazine. Cincinnati, June fl 9. Atrocious attempt at Poisoning. —A most diabolical attempt was made last week to poi son the whole of the passengers between (10 and 70 in number, of the steamer New York, on her trip from Cincinnati and Pittsburg. _ It appears that a warm discussion on the subject of Abolition had been carried on du ing the day, amongst the passengers, a large part of whom were anti-abolition men. The steward of the boat being unwell, employed a black man to bake the bread for supper, immediately after eating it the passengers were taken vio lently sick, with vomiting, &o. Tiie black man was immediately examined, who ac knowledged his guilt; and that he intended to have poisoned all the passengers. He was then confined in the steward’s room, but in the confusion ol the momc.it he jumped out of the window, and it was not known whether he was drowned or had reached the shore. There were two kinds of bread on the table, and it was soon ascertained that those who had not eaten the corn bread escaped. Every alleviation possible was afforded to the suffer ers, many of whom it was feared for a few days would not recover; none, however, have died. Among the sufferers was the Rev. James F. Clarke, Pastor of the Unitarian church at Louisville, who lay one or two days very sick at Pittsburg, from the effects of the poison, bat has since resumed his jour ney. Hie above took place near Marietta. Por tions of the corn bread have been brought to this city to be analized. From the Baltimore American. THE EXPLORING EXPEDITION. Letters from Lieut. Com. Wilkes, cf the Exploring Expedition, have been received at the Navy Department. One letter, dated September 24. h, 1839, written from Papeffie, the principal harbour of Otaheiie, give's some interesting particulars respecting that island. Otaheite is becoming an important point in the Pacific, and is much visited by ships tra ding in that ocean —especially by whalers. About one hundred foreigners reside in the Island, several of whom are engaged in trade, and supply vessels with such articles as they require. Lieut. Wilkes annexes a statement by which it appears that from 1536 to 1539, both inclusive, one hundred aud ninety Amer ican vessels stopped at the island, comprising an aggregate tonnage of 67,131 tons, with cargoes estimated at five millions and a hall’ of dollars. Christianity has spread over the island through the labours of Missionaries, several of whom reside there and have great influence with the government and inhabitants. About 3000 of the native children attend schools, and one third of the population read and write. Several vessels are owned in Otaheite. and they are admitted into the British ports of New South Wales on tiie same looting as English vessels. We do r.ot know that Eng land claims this island as a part of her colonial possessions—the right of discovery, however, is on her side. Otaheite is under a monarchical govern ment. The sceptre is now swayed by a Queen. The fact may serve to remind the readers of voyages of the history of this beau tiful island and of the circumstances of the first visits made there by the English navigu tors, Wallis, Cook, and others. A queen was then on the throne, ruling in primeval simpli city over a race of willing subjects. W hen Captain Wallis, accompanied bv his olliceis went to partake of hei majesty m hospitality, the queen, with i train of fennh. o-'.enda:.*.;. accompanist; him from the ship; and as they came to a damp place in the road, the cap tain being an invalid from tiie efllcts of itcent illness, the queen took him in iier arms and carried him over the spot. The whole story ofihe discovery of Otaheite by Wallis —the simple manners of the natives, their kindness! and unsuspecting confidence; the queen’s a flection for the English captain, and other circumstances of a like nature, invest the island with a romantic interest which the natural loveliness of the spot ar.d the soft mildness of the climate, are calculated to en hance in the minds of those who visit it. The other letter from Lieut. Wilkes is dated at Upolu, one of the Navigator group of island, November 9,1839. These islands are easily accessible, and situated very con veniently for ships in need of water or sup plies of fresh provisions. Lieut. Wilkes says : It is surprising ihat a group of islands, so central, so fertile, and producing so many advantages 33 this group, should have been overlooked by previous navigators, and I deem it, therefore, more necessary to make as minute a survey as possible. For this purpose, I had recourse entirely to our boats and smaller vessels, the result of which has made known many new harbors and places of safety for vessels to carry on the c, mmerce of these islands. Every part of the coasts of each of the eight islands has been carefully examined. Tne charts are now completing, which will give our results, but owing to the necessary daily duties, are not yet completed, and will not be in time to forwaid by this opportunity. The aggregate population of these islands is estimated at about 56,000. About two thirds of these are supposed to be under cln is tian influence; those that can read and vviite are about ten thousand. The llcv. Mr. Williams is the principal Missionary. He visited the group in 1830, and others came in 1836. By the efforts of these gentlemen, the language has been reduced to writing, a printing press established, books distributed, and a general pacification of quarrels effected. The native schools are well attended, and ‘ although accustomed,’ says Lieut. Wilkes, ‘ to the rapid advancement of education in our country, I was surprised to witness a more rapid one in these islands, proving that the natives are by no means deficient in the necessary faculties, for rapid improvement in civilization.’ These Islands arc high arid mountainous and composed of lava; having several extinct volcanoes. The soil is richer than upon any other islands in the Pacific visited by the squa dron. Sugar eanejis produced—also, coffee, cotton, arrow-root, bread fruit, yams, pine apples, See. Lieut. Wilkes speaks in a complimentary mariner of the aid lie has received from the officers and scientific gentlemen of the squad ron in the discharge of the various duties connected with the objects of the Expedition. The health of the squadron was generally good. The expedition was then about to sail for Sydney, New South Wales. From tho Evening Post. FLORIDA. In continuation of the remarks uttered in the Post of Saturday evening, June 20ih, per mit me to add a few more, even upon so trite a theme as the “Seminole war.” ft is evi dent to all who read the newspapers, and ob serve the running events of the day, that for nearly five years the war lias been carried on and pushed by our troops even “ mio Afri ca.’ In my article of the 20;h, it is affirm ed that the war can be finished only by of sering rewards to those adventurous sprits who will go into the country single handed, . and hunt out tiie enemy as the backwoods men hunt the animals ofihe forest. To do this in Florida, and against the Seminoles, is not children’s play, and requires a degree of nerve and moral courage possessed but by few men in these “ piping times of peace.”— h has been said that the war could be •• fin ished” only in this way, and in support of this assertion, I beg leave to give following rea sons : In the prosecufion of this war all kinds of men have been employed, every species of troops tried, regulars and volunteers from New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Geor gia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Ten nessee, Missouri and Florida, besides friendly Indians, Cherokees, Creeks, Delawares and Shawnecs. These have been under the com mand of Scott, Gaines, Call, Clinch, Jesup and Taylor. Tiie war has cost m human l;fi nearly seventy officers and seven hundred soldiers, —in money nearly thirteen million ot dollars*. Indeed, if it we repossible to arrive at the actual state of ihe case, this estimate would be found probably underrated. To say that the war is finished, or as near conclusion as it was before hostilities com menced, is highly idle and absurd, for ihese reasons: Ist. The enemy will not meet our troops embodied. They have not done so since tne battle of Okcchobce, 25ih December, 1b37, (General Taylor) and tiie action of Lochaba chee, January 24th, 1838, (General Jessup). Bodies of men, from hall a dozen in number up to columns by regiments, have been sent against them with no other died than loss on our part. 2J. Because the efibrs of our gallant army have not been made against a brave, visible and powerful enemy, or as some will have it, against “ a handful of half starved, naked and miserable savages,” but in the main against the climate and toi’OGßai’Ry of Florida. 3J. Because the Cuba hound (about the employment of which so much mawkish sen sibiiity has been shown by certain people, and j which still serves as a plaything for very ilia- J ny editors), lias been tried with no decided success ; this animal evincing just as much sagacity on the trail cf an Indian as any oili er hound. 4th. Because there is no reason to believe that Congress will authorize the employment of a force sufficiently large to cover the whole country. And if this force is organized, such means must be taken as will force the enemy to remain in one section of the countiy, so that a point may be had against which our efforts may be brought to bear. Indepen dently of the military principle, that your en emy should always be k. pt in your front, ne-1 ver permitted to attack or secrete himself in your rear, in order so to confine the Semi- i noles, a kind of Chinese wall must be con-1 structed, a cordon ot posts within sight o! j each other must be established, or men must j be stationed at intervals of six feet fiom each other. Ail of these propositions are imprac ticable’ if not impossible. sth. Because the General on the spot, and j commanding in the field,"should have the sole j direction of operations; opening of roads, Jis 1 position of troops, se! ctioii ot positions, build i ing of posts, occ., b-e. Gib. Because the commanding General, have not received on all occasions that cuun t-.-nat.ee and support which tin y had a ri.-ht. ami; was their duty ! *tx; ct tie pro-se * cuii;;:i oftech a contest. \Ye must not h. i tiuders-ood as rdLrmg in the -r u the 1 Secretary of War, who has ahva\s evim-td an anxiety and zea! worthy oka mote pun. ous cause. 7th. Because Cos!. Denton’s pn •-„> • t i provide for the armed occupation if i . and tor other purposes, has not massed lower blouse of Congress, nor are r vorable probabilities of its becoming a For these and other reasons, li.o war r.et yet finished.” In tiiis age orcovetousness and i u I when every man’s hand is raised against :h<- goods of his brother, the maxim “get what you can, and keep what you gel” appears to have universal application and influence.— l'he thirst for gam operating so uniformly in the transactions of every day life, is scarce ly conceivable why men would not attempt for money, for hire and “ salary,” greater and more dangerous deeds than they would from tiie impulse of honor and thirst for renown. In the frigid state of our patriotism, people will risk their lives, sacrifice their case and comfort, forego the pleasures of home and ci vilization, and roam through sands beneath a burning sun, enduring every privation for money—not for love. In a war with ar.v civilized na;ion, where an open field and a lair fight might occasionally be looked tor, doubtless the yeomen of the country—the hardy adventurers of the west and southwest —would buckle on their armor and go forth to tne battle with much the same speed and actuated by the same motives r.s were our countrymen in ’76 and ’I 2. None other than an idiotic fancy can pos sess any man who, at this day, and under such adverse circumstances, volunteers in the Seminole war! It"he does any tiling he ne ver receives any credit for it. * The scene of action is too lar removed or the losses of life too many and from causes 100 various to excite the ambition ol men. There’s nought to gain —and the prospects of losing all arc too ma ny and palpable. Under such circumstances the most expe ditious and economical way of closing this vexatious and hitherto expensive contest, is the plan of rewards. The enterprise and love of money common to a certain portion of our people would make the swamps and ham mocks alive with men hunting for the Indians as they would for the beasts of the forest.— This would be done at a risk—but this risk is only encountered for a “ valuable considera tion.” The point above alluded to, viz—that the climate and topography of the scat of war, have been and will continue to be the main cause of failure in any attempt to carry on systematic operations, is a strong one. It is to be hoped that when men are acquainted with the Facts of the case, they will discontin ue their ungenerous remarks upon the Secre tary of War, and the gallant portion of our army engaged in such a thankless service.

Auspicious because we see around the Union men and State Rights men all engaged in the same object and united Ibr the same end. Gentlemen, in three short years the ad ministration of Mr. Van Buren has brought healing upon its wings. We see him stand ing between the living and the dead. We see him standing between the friends of Gen. Jackson and the friends of William H. Craw ford—and there is peace between them! The chasm that has heretofore divided them has closed forever. Hereafter the people of Geor gia will battle under one banner, they will together, defend the interest, the honor and the glory of this great Republic—the greatest that the world lias known since Rome was rent asunder by a Ctesar, a Pompey and a Crassus—the Clay, the Webster and the Adams of their day. But, Gentlemen, we have not time to waste upon words ; nor can it be necessary after the impassioned and eloquent address yesterday, by our State Rights brethren, upon this sub ject. I will then only supplicate Almighty God to shield and protect us from the machi nations of the Friuutvirs—their satellites and their followers. On motion Judge Joseph Sturgis, Frederick H.
