OUR “JOB” OFFICE. Having recently added a variety of New Styles v i TV PE to our Job Department, we are prepared to execute every description of LETTER PRESS PRINTING In a superior manner, and on reasonable terms. \niong tbe assortment are some Mammoth Type for POSTERS. From the Savannah Morning Betas, March 5. Chatham Delegation -Col. It. A. Lawton. We consider that our citizens and the people of Chatham county have just cause to be proud of their able delegation iu the Legislature, which has just closed its session at Milledgeville. The ability ivi ih which they labored for the advancement of the interests of their constituency, und the influ ence which their councils exerted'on the State leg islation, is shown not less by the success ofjthe iiii |, .riant measures which they originated and advo- ’ rated, than by the high personal regard in which ! they arc held by the representatives and press of i other sections of the State. From what we know ■ and hear of the history of the late session, we ! doubt whether Savannah has for many years’ had ■ an abler or more influential delegation in the Leg- j islature than her lust, or one who accomplished so ! much to promote her true interests, conciliate op- ! position, and remove prejudice. This thought was suggested by meeting the following complimenta ry reference to Col. It. A. Lawton, in the Columbus j T mes: Speaking of ottr representative, the writer 1 sars: lie is easy and unassuming in his manners and totally devoid of pretensions; though we doubt j .. >t, he is endowed with a reasonable share of self- \ > 'teeni as well as of ambition. When he took his j •at in the House, we imagine very few recognized j .him the real leader of that body; nor did he , :pains to bring himself forward m thatcapa- * Representing, however, the intersts of our j nmercial emporium, he was necessarily forced i ii;...:i !.’> feet very often, and every time he rose he j added to his reputation as a man of sense as well ; as of erudition, and, at length, was looked to in : every emergency when Democratic principles were to be enunciated or Democratic policy to be de fended, as the leader of the party in the House of j Representatives. Mr. Lawton is not an orator, but ! is a most effective speaker. His mind is active, j his apprehension quick, his logic irresistible, his : flow nt words good, his voice pleasant to the ear ; ! but of all, he is endowed with a large share of common sense, and knows when to speak and when to keep silent. We have heard him in several ] keen encounters with the chiefs of the opposition, 1 and never saw hint worsted by any or all of them! i He impresses us with the idea that he never brings 1 into an encounter all his powers, hut keeps in re ! serve a large part of his torces for an unexpected j emergency. He employes just enough strength to overcome his adversary, and never seems to care ! to overwhelm him. Since the above was in type, we have received the ' 1 Milledgeville Union, of yesterday morning, from 1 « hich we extract the following : Col. Lawton, of Chatham.—lt has been a pleas- [ ure, and a pride we may sav (for we feel proud of ] . ur seaport city • in referring to the valuable set- , vices rendered the House of Representatives dur- i mg the session just closed, by the gentleman whose untie heads this paragraph. Always at liis post, i , diligent in business, affable and courteous in man ners, he has won for himself the friendship and respect of all his late associates, and a reputation, j generally, as a ready debater and clear-headed man. lie has done as much, if not more, than any ! of bis predecessors from the seaboard, to disabuse the minds of the people of Upper Georgia of the prevalent idea, that a man coming from Savannah i must mvessarih he, in common parlance, a “swell b-.iJ. Indeed, Savannah honored herself, and exhibited a worthy pride iu sending such a delega- I ti -n as she did to both Houses—gentlemen high- j toned, liberal, and warm advocates of every meas- ! me that could enhance the interests of their beuu tittil city, or speed the onward inarch of Georgia t j eminence and prosperity. Mav she always do oi well The V irginia Convention. v\ m. Smith, of Va.—This gentleman was admit ted into the recent State Convention of the Demo cratic party of Virginia, upon his declaring that be would support the nominees of the Cincinnati | \ f invent Mil. In his defence lie declared that he , had never quitted the Democratic part v, nor joined the Know Nothings. ‘‘l repeat,” said he, ‘‘that , there is hut one great fight iu this country, and ; . that between Democracy and lilack Republicanism, i There is but one line of policy for me to pursue, < and that is plain. 1 cannot do any thing else j t I thau support the nominees of the Cincinnati Coil- I | reution. THE PLALFORM OF THE DEMOCRACY OF ' VIRGINIA. | , ihe Democratic Republicans of Virginia, in ' t ( invention assembled, following the time-honored i usage in declaring the principles which bind them < together as a party, do 1. //■■ *e. /, That the true relations between the : 1 States and the Federal Government, and the true rules tor the construction of the Constitution, are 1 "•needy set forth in the resolutions and report of . and est, of the General Assembly of Virginia; < and the doctrines therein expounded are hereby • t adopted and re-affimed. ‘ i i -• R *di'vl, That Congress has no power to ap- | i propriate, directly or indirectly, the proceeds of the states of the public lands, or to grant, directly, • thepuolie lands to the purposes of internal im- I provement. Reeohaf, That specific duties, taxing, as they I d'>, the low-priced necessaries of the poor as lieav- | ly as the costly luxuries of the rich, are unequal, unjust, and odious; that duties designed for pro- | teetion, foster one branch of industry and cherish • " ae section of the country at the expense of others, j s:d are utterly inconsistent with justice and sound : ;• ney and Democratic principles; and that we are j opposed to any increase of the duties on imports, j especially on articles of general and necessary con sumption, such us iron, coal, sugar, salt and coarse i cottons. j 4 Beard red, That the Federal Government ought ’• s ihere in its foreign policy to the maxims in- i cukated by the Father of his country, and by the Hiper of Democracy.

TL London Money Market.-— Consols had ad i vauced to 91. Advices from London, dated the 23d ult., state j that Count Orloff had arrived in Paris, on the 21st ult., and that the Conference was to have opened .on the 25th. Every tiling was, also, progressing ' favorably. Letters, however, from St. Petersburg and Warsaw, published in some of the German ■ papers give reason for the belief of their writers that the war will continue, and state that in no j respect whatever has the energy of the Military ; Department abated. ! , It is said that the amount of frauds committed by Mr. Sadlier, who recently committed suicide j in London, is not much short of £1,000,000 Ster | ling. A portion of the advanced squadron of the Bal tic fleet was ready for sea at Spithead on the even ing of the 22d ult. Tiie Messrs. Rothschilds will take the whole loan.

New V ore, March 8. — The Bank of the Republic quotes Produce drafts at from 107(5il0SV'. Other di atts were firm at previous rates, hut they were scarce and in demand. New Orleans, March 7.—The Lower Cotton i ress in this city has been destroyed br tire iu vo t ing a loss of *130,000, part of which amount only, was insured.

New \ ork, March 8. —The cargo of the Union, containing 9,100 bags Rio coffee, was offered at auction to-day, and all sold at prices ranging from 10K to 13>g cents per lb., as to quality—averaging 1134 cents, showing %c. per lb. advance. There was a large attendance and spirited bidding. The Secretary of War, in the course of au order hearing upon a recent court martial, takes occa sion to rebuke these officers who are in the habit of treating the soldiers under them harshly. He tells them that they have no more right to treat the enlisted soldiers under them in au insulting and abusive manner, than have their superior offi cers to treat them so. Potatoes bv Weight. —A bill is before the New i oi k legislature to regulate the sale of potaioesas follows : “In all sales of potatoes, sixty pounds shall he considered one bushel, and one hundred and fifty pounds one barrel; and in all transactions or con tracts for the sale of potatoes hereafter made, the delivery thereof shall he by weight as aforesaid, unless a special contract be made otherwise." xrST The Washington correspondent of the Sa vannah Georgian, of March 2d, says: “As for Mr. Fillmore, he signalized his adminis tration by pardoning two negro thieves, Drayton ..nd Sears, who had formed and nearly consumma ted a deep laid conspiracy to carry off a number of slaves from the District of Columbia, and who were actually found on hoard of the vessel with them, making down the river to sea as fast as they could. How, with the knowledge of this fact, and the utter ignorance of Mr. FUmore’s views on the great question of the day -the principle of the Kansas-Nebraska bill southern men could vote for his nomination for the Presidency,l cannot see. “ A singular event in connection with the nomi nation of Mr. Fillmore, is the adhesion of a promi nent member of the Republican party to the Amer ican ticket. At the Fillmore and Donelson ratifi cation meeting, held in this city on Friday night, Mr. Lewis D. Campbell was one of the speakers. He spoke from the same stand with southern Americans, lie is Mr. Banks’ leader in the House, being chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, and is noted as the man who advised his constituents to trample the Fugitive Slave Law un der foot. Events are thickening upon us to satisfy us of the entire sympathy between Abolitionism and Know Nothingism. “ I learn that Mr. Albert Pike, of Arkansas, is opposed to the whole action of the Convention, and will not support its nominees. He looks upon the abrogation <.f the twelfth section, and the adoption of the District of Columbia platform, as a conces sion to the North prejudicial to the South. This is the true view of it, and I think one that is having its efleet upon the Southern Know Nothing mem bers, as they are quite mum as to what they pro pose to do in the premises.” Mr. Fillmore in Rome.—A letter dated Rome, Jan 1 st, says : “ Our friends ex-President Fillmore, Dr. Foote and Mr. Jewett were at the Church of the Jesuits and appeared to enjoy the ceremonies quite as well a s others. The ex-Bresident has only been here two or three days. Cass makes a party for him on Thursday evening of this week. I think the Papal government will make something of a lion of him, as they did of Mr. Van Burcn last winter.” Thk Bivingsvillk Factory.—This valuable pro perty, consisting of the factory and twelve hun dred acres of land, which has been advertised for tiie last five or six sales days, was actually sold at Sheriff's sale on Monday last, and only brought : nineteen thousand and five hundred dollars, not : quite one-third as much as Col. E. C. Leitner paid for the same in 1645.— Spartanburg Express. The sugar planters in different portions of Lou isiana report that the growing crop of cane in that State has suffered material injury from the unusual 1 severity of the winter, and that there is every rea son to apprehend another short crop of sugar. This is likely to cause the article to maintain its present advanced rates, if not to reach higher tig j ures. The Georgia Know Nothings are said to console themselves that if the second Philadelphia Con vention has ignored slavery and the twelfth sec tion, and kicked the Georgia platform to the dogs, it still avows a belief in the “existence of a Su preme Being. That is some comfort, and everv little helps in a dry time.— Xtw York ,Veiiw. A Naw \ rrsion.—Kossuth thus interprets the Central American Treaty; “Two travellers had hut one horse; otie of them proposed an agree ment on these terms: the first half hour you shall , walk and 1 will ride; the second half an hour I i will ride and you shall walk. Just such would be ! the Central American treaty, according to the Eng lish interpretation.” Übtcrnino Reason.— Our telegraphic column of ; yesterday contained the following announcement - ■ Chicago, March 5. —Mr. Dyer, Democrat, was yesterday elected Mayor by four hundred majority. The Council stands four Republicans and five Democrats. Just twelve months ago the Know Nothings . swept the citv. electing a Mayor and a majority of . the Council. Now they have not even a name, the [ Abolitionists having swallowed them up. This election, though a small matter comparatively, is j a type of the character of the contest now going I on in the North, the only real parties to which are , the Democrats and the Freesoilers, under whatever name the latter may act.— ShM Si<k Itenb>rrjt.

PETER COOPER, j feb2tf 3na New York. j The most extraordinary discovery in the World is the j Great Arabian Remedy fen- Alan and Beast. H. G. FARRELL’S j CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT. THE beautiful and fertile region skirting the desert of Arabia, abounds with rare plants and odorous woods, whence are procured those aro matic gums and balsams of which this Liniment is composed, and by whose stimulating, unctuous and penetrating properties it is, when applied, diffused through the whole nervous system, allaying the most intense pain in a few minutes. Try it, when j you will be convinced that no preparation possesses I in so high a degree, its perfect anodyne qualities, j Its action is prompt and effective. It penetrates the tiesh to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, re storing use to limbs paralysed for years, and where the flesh has wasted away, leaving nothing but skin and bone, excites a ’healthy action, causing new flesh to grow out and fill up the shrivelled part. It restores the synovial fluid or joint water, and this is the reason why it has been so success ful in diseases of the joints. In affections of the Spine, Liver, Lungs and Kidneys, this great reme dy stands before any other ever produced. For ague cake or enlargement of the spleen, it is a spe cific. For any internal inflammation, you will find it gives great relief. It has no equal in the world for Rheumatism—also, cramps, swelling, numb ness, weak joints, Spine and Chest, pains, wounds, chilblains, burns, sore throat, bites of insects and reptiles, salt rheum, warts, corns, mange, and in deed nearly all diseases which require an internal application, and many others, are greatly benefitted by it. It is used externally with great success in goitre, or swelled neck, Scrofula or King’s Evil, Liver Complaint, nervous diseases, Ac. For Horses or Cattle, it is as effectual as in diseases of man. Will cure any case of Sweeney iu existence ; also Spavin, Splint, Ringbone, Big-head, Fistula, Farcy’ Poll Evil, Windgalls, Strains, Bruises, Ac. Look out for Counterfeits ! The public are cautioned against another coun terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called \V. B.
