The Republican has received a late ur.mber of the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, from which the following is ex tracted ; The annexed news has been prepared Ijy t hc Agent of the Associated Press and officially approved. Advices to March Ist report Gherman’s advance near Cheraw with a very heavy •olumn on the north side of the river.— He is supposed to be moving on Flor once and Fayetteville.though presenting a formidable feint towards Raleigh and other points north of his line—against which, it his demonstrations are success ful. he hopes to make a flank movement and follow out his original plau. The evacuation of Wilmington furnishes him with abase to supply his anny when he reaches Florence if his other plans fail. His latest movements are in accord ance with the plan announced when he left Savannah. No battle had been fought up to the first of March. There was only skirmish ing along the moveable lines. Hardee is supposed to have passed Cheraw or Florence before the Yankees arrived there. To-day the Southern Express Com pany brought the papers from the South west, the only ones which have arrived here for two weeks. Another account says : An intelligent gentleman who arrived from Charlotte on Monday furnishes us with some interesting information from the front. Sherman's route it is now r ascertained will be through the lower part of Lancas ter District to Cheraw'. Camden has been destro} r ed and the country along the line of his march is desolated. The prevailing belief at Charlotte is that Sherman will move on Goldsboro’ through Cheraw aud Fayetteville, if suf fered to do so. A heavy" force, however, is moving in his front, and he may ulti mately turn off in the direction of Wil mington. It Avas also stated and generally be lieved that Gen.. Hoke" had been worsted in an engagement with the enemy m the vicinity of Wilmington. Our informant says that the route that Sherman has selected is almost imprac ticable in view of the recent rains.— From Camden to Cheraw the country is fiat anu svvampv and Sherman must of necessity make bis road as he proceeds. There seems to be no doubt that a heavy column of the enemy is moving from the coast to co-operate with Sher man. Gen. Johnston assumed command on Monday, 27th ult., and his appointment was gratifying to all parties. Our Satan is she eked to read in the news reports that Gen. Sherman has not only been “ fooling about Augusta,’’ but has actually been guilty of “ striking Charlotte,” and is now 7 “after Florence. ’ —Norwalk Gazette . SAVANNAH, GA., MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 13, 1865. .''From the Charleston Courier } PUBLIC INSTRUCTION. Col. Woodford has succeeded, by the system he inaugurated, in rapidly re moving vagrant children from the streets. About fifteen hundred children are al ready attending the schools now' in oper ation. There has been no parallel to this tact in the history of any captured city in the insurrectionary States. Thir ty-eight teachers are employed in the Public Scnools, and the Christian Com mission has generously furnished all the primers necessary for the use of begin ners. The large majority of the teach ers are citizens of Charleston. While there has been no distinction recognized among applicants for admission to the Schools, no attempt whatever has been made to force auy uncongenial compan ionships. The white children are taught in entirely distinct departments, have different play-grounds, and are v.’holly taught by Southern white ladies. It has not been dcured, we may say, either by the colored people, or their friends, to associate the two classes of children who have a right to be taught, aud whom it is our duty to teach, in all the public schools : but disloyal people may just as well know 7 at once as here after that the voice of the great Ameri can Nation has declared that henceforth and forever all children shall be educat ed, and ignorance, the mother of civil wars, be Totally exterminated. To resist this decree will be as vain as trying to drive back the billows of the ocean ; and they will be the wisest who at once conform their opinions and action to the new order of things. The colored people of Charleston have been taxed to build aud support these schools ; yet they were never allowed to send their children to them. This thing is ended. The Government has resolved that all loyal people in every part of this land shall have the right of educating their children. The richest and best educated ladies of the North, the daugh ters of its oldest and first families, have left homes of luxury to teach colored children in the South ; and in the old times, the richest ladies of the South often taught their slaves. These facts dispose of all questions of respectability. A number of private schools have been opened. All teachers are required to take the oath of allegiance, and ob tain an authorization from the Bureau of Instruction. This is to prevent any fur ther teaching of rebel doctrine or . any singing of rebel songs, as was practiced in tiiese schools before our occupatidh of the city. To all persons willing to com ply with these conditions every facility will be extended to begin their work. Chemistry Simplified for locng Be ginners.—Hotr to make a Light in a JJarl: Room. —First darken the room. Then take of spirits of wine, 2 oz. : deal sha vings as much as you can carry ; gun powder. about a wine-glassfull. Mix well together, and place them on the floor in the center of the room. Procure a red hot poker ; apply it to the mass.— Tiiis will soon light the room up. How to Burn u Hole in a Piece of Veleet with Water.— Get your mother’s best vel vet mantle. Take about two drachms of nitric acid, put" them in a test tube. Sav it’s water : if they don’t believe you. ask them to taste it. ‘ Pour it on the vel vet. It will burn a hole right through it. This will gladden your mother shear*. How to wake n Precipitate. —Take of de tonating powder about two table spoon fuls, skyrockets one bushel, blank car tridges twelve or more. Wrap them in a paper parcel. Make the company stand round with their backs to the fire. Give the parcei to any nervous old gen tleman and tell him to put it into the fire. It will go off: so will the com pany, and precipitate themselves out of the room. Don't try this experiment mere than twice a day. - Answers to Corkkspoit dents. —Josh Billings is writing for the New York Weekly Mercury. In the following he happily bits off the oft exposed trick of writing “Answers to (imaginary) Corres pondents.” so much in vogue nowa days V Hennery. —The best time tew sett a hen. iz when the hen iz reddy. I kant tell you what the best breed iz, but the shanghigh iz the meanest. It kosts az mutch tew' board one, as it doz a stage boss, and yu mite az w r eU undertake tew fat a fanning-mill, by running oats thru it. Tliure aim no proflitt in keeping a hen for kiz eggs, if he lays less tkau one a day. Hens are very long lived, if they don’t contrakt the thrut disseaze. there is a great menny goes tew pot every year hi this melankolly disseaze. I kant tell exactly now' lew* pick out a good hen, but az ageural thing,the long-eared ones, ere kounted the best. The one-legged ones I kno, are the lest ap tew skratch up the garden. Eggs packed in equal partes ov salt, and lime water, with the other end down, will keep from JO, or 40, years, if they are not disturbed. — Fresh beef-stake iz good for hens; I ser pose 4, or 5, pounds a day, woutd be awl a hen would need, at fust along. I shall be happee tew advise w ith yu at enny time, on the hen question, aud —take it in eggs. Mir aide. —Yu sa yu kant understand the mirakel of the wTiale, that swallered Joner. I dont suipose that Joner, nor the whale, ever fully understood it thein selfs. I hav thought that it waz eezyer for the whale, tew sw'aller Joner, than it w r az for the outsiders, tew swaller the mirakie. I kant tell you what Joner did w'hile in the whale’s belly; but I kuo what a yankee would hav did, he would hav rigged a rudder on the animal, and run him into port, and either klaimed th<i ile for salvage,or sold out his chause tew a petroleum grease company. A Dutchman in Search of Justice.— A Dutch man in a passion labors under many difficulties when he attempts to express his feelings in English. Few have mercy upon him, and the jests at his expense are both numerous and irre sistible. While we sympathize we can not but laugh. A breathless, excited individual rushed into the police office yesterday and in quired for the chief. » ‘‘What do you want of him ?” inquired an impassive officer. ‘‘l van Is ein baper to kill a tog vot pites me in te leg.’ “Ah. you wish an order of execution issued against a vicious canine,” said the officer. . ' “No, I tussant vant any such ting. I vants a baper to tell me to kill de pup.— Ke piles my leg so bad, I have got de hydrophobe, und w ill kili him, or goes mat too.” “Ah, now I see," said the impassive temperament, “you require authority to proceed with force of arms against the dangerous animal.” •‘Mein Got, no! dat ish not vat I vants. 1 vants te Jeaf to give me license to kill te tog. I vants him to make me baper. so ven I kill te tog he enu nitch go inter de bolice court and swear against me “The dog ?” 4 ‘lSein : not te te tog. You see if I. kills him—" “What, the man ?” “Nein —te tog. Und tc man sues me forte price of te tog. den I vants ter law on min side, d’yer see ?” “O yes !” said the officer, who was quietly clruokling at the caution evinc.d by the German, and intent on exhausting his patience ; “then you w ant to get a warrant to arrest the man who owns the dog, so the animal may not again attack you.” ' “No, no ! You gets everything by the tail." cried Lager beer, who began to think the officer was quizzing him. “I tink you vants to make choke of me. runder and blitzen ! I vants shustees, not choke. I vants to cut te tog’s head oli, and it shustees will not give me u baper, I cuts his head off any how.” And the lover of sourkrout started to leave the hall: but meeting the 1 ‘Jeaf uv Police at the door, lie conversed with him in the German dialect. He knew his wants, and received an order to execute the vicious animal. As he was going out he met the im passive officer. “All right ?” he inquired. ah, all right. I goes shtraight off to te owner of te tog and kills him. ’ “W hat, tiie owner ?” “No, te tog. You make fool of your self by sayiug tog ven I means man, and when I means man you sav tog. Now you gone to ter tuyvel!" IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

He knows every article that comes in or goes out of the store. No bundle leaves without a check. He selected a shawl for his wife one day, and neglecting to check it, it could not leave the building.
