DULY ('OXSTITI'TIOMIST BY JAM l:s gardN EI i. •FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 4. Contract Advertisers Must remember that five o’clock, P. M., every day, is the latest hour for receiving their adver tising favors, for publication the ensuing morning. Lecture by W. Gilmore Simms, L.L. D. The lecture of this learned and distinguished gentleman, delivered at the Masonic Hall last eve ning, more than realized the high-wrought expec tations of his large and intelligent auditory. The ] subject was an attractive one—-“Ante-Colonial Hi*- j tory of the South," and every person present an tieipated un agreeable and instructive entertain - i ment, from one of such known celebrity for histori- ; cal and legendary lore. But few, if any, had an idea of the curious and wonderful field of discove ry and speculation the lecturer was about to unfold j to their mental vision. Few, if any, looked for ! disclosures of such surpassing interest, and facts \ ranging back so manv centuries, suggesting theo- ■ ries and provoking inquiry relative to extinct ra- ; ces of European origin, who once peopled our 1 southern soil, and were swept from existence by I the conquering red men, long, long before the j shores of America were visited by the great Ge- j noese discoverer. It is difficult to describe the absorbing interest thrown around the subject, or the terse and schol arly style, and impressive manner of its presenta tion. It was made luminous by the store-houSfe of facts poured out upon it, and was clothed with ro mantic attractions, called up by the graphic and poetic touches which were given these mysterious pictures of a past civilization. One theory presented, and well sustained by au thentic chronicles, was that the coast of North America was discovered by European vovagers, as far back, at least, us between the sixth and the tenth centuries, and that the countries south of the Chesapeake, as far down as South Carolina and Georgia, were colonized by white ra ces. Wnether Northmen of Scandinarian race, from continental Europe, whether Irish or Welsh colonists, were matters forienquirv. A remarkable concurrence of facts and traditions pointed to Ireland or to Wales as the spot whence these col onies emigrated. Other portions of the lecture we would be pleased to refer to, as every part was singularly instructive and curious, but our notice is necessa rily hasty and imperfect. We must defer the sub ject to another opportunity. In the meantime it gives us great pleasure to announce that to-morrow evening, Dr. Simms will continue the subject, in a •eeond lecture. An entertainment of such rare intellectual quali ty, and from a source so distinguished in the world of letters, will command the attention of every cultivated mind among us. Not the South only, but our whole country is proud of the genius and acquirements of W. Gilmore Simms. Judge W. W. Holt. We are pleased to state that the condition ol j Judge Holt has somewhat improved, and reason;)- j ble hopes are now indulged of his restoration to ! health. Fifty-Six Years .Ago. “A wagon going to Charleston in the course of ten or twelve days from Augusta, may have freight of four hundred weight, together with three pas sengers. Apply at this office. January 1, 1800.” We extract the above from the Augusta Herald, of January 1, 1800. We have made improvements in the transportation departments since then; bu: : it is well enough to recur to fir3t principles, occa sionally, and think what we have been. In the Herald , of Aug. 7, 1790, under the ‘‘State ment of the fuuds of the corporation of Augusta,’ we copy the debit accouut; DR. ‘‘1799. —Neat amount collected of the City Tax, under an ordinance passed the 10th Dec. 17 a8 f 2053.36 Cash received of Messrs.

At that time, the salary- o the Clerk of Council was only SIOO per year, and other officers, or what few were then re quired, received corresponding amounts for theii •ervices. There would have been civil war in the community then if $-2,000 had been expended in fitting out a room for*he members of Council n hold their meetings in—but now the wants of the times, the improved taste of the community, and the necessities which have resulted from out advanced civilization, ail require the most libera! expenditures, or, at least, the money is very liber ally expended, and it is presumable, from the causes stated. In looking over the old files we find much that would amuse some of the “fast folks” of the pre sent time. Fifty-six years ago we received news from Liverpool in from two to three months ; and from Washington City and New York from two weeks to a month. In those days business was conducted very- differently from the present; and our merchants were liberal dealers in hogsheads of tobacco, indigo, deer skins, Ac. We intend to refer, occasionally, to the good old times, and resurrect many a long entombed news paragraph, and present it to our readers. While all the world is pressing so eagerly onward, it is well to take, occasionally, a “ lingering look be hind.” . Carelessness ill Legislation. Col. Milledoe has been recently at Milledgeville in attendance as one of the Commissioners of the Atlantic and Gulf railroad. While there he had occasion to inquire as to the fate of the bill to compensate the delegates from Georgia to the Nashville Convention. From the following letter it appears that by some great carelessness the bill, after passing both branches of the Legislature, failed to reach his Excellency for his signature. This is much to be regretted, for we doubt not the Governor would cheerfully have signed it. It was a measure which it behooved Georgia to carry into effect, as we have heretofore said, and continued delay in discharging the obligation thus resting upon the State may reflect on her good faith and •ense of justice. We do not, however, undertake to recommend to the Governor the assumption of any responsibility in the matter. We leave the de cision of that point where it properly belongs : Milledgeville, April 1, IS">6. D»ar Sir: I regret to inform you that the bill which I had the honor to introduce in the House of Representatives, at the last session of the Legisla ture, to pay the delegates to the Nashville Conven tion has, in a manner, most extraordinarily and un accountably failed to reach the Governor for his signature. ' It passed the House, and both from the Journals of the Senate, and from the endorse ments on the engrossed bill, it must have also passed the latter—but up to this time it cannot be found, nor can any one say whether it was signed by the presiding officers of the General Assemble. \\ ha: his Excellency may feel authorized to do under the circumstances. 1 cannot sav. The mode is left with him to decide whether or not lie will feel at liberty to have their accounts paid, and trust to the next Legislature to correct the irregu larities. Yours, truly, John- Milledoe Three persons were recently burned to death at Holy Hill, in South Carolina. It is pre sumed that none of the parties were Sons of Tem perance. JSF* The Hon. Thouas H.

This body convened in the Lecture Room of the First Presbyterian Church of this city, on Wednes j day evening. The opening sermon was preached j by Rev. S. K. Talmage, D.

Reid, temporary 1 Clerk for the present session. In the unfinished state of the Presbyterian ; Church building of this city, the St, John’s Meth odist Church has been tendered the use of the j Presbytery and congregation, and their religious : services will be held there. The daily sessions of the Presbytery will be held I in the Presbyterian Lecture Room, and will be i °Pen to the visits of the public. I The Rev. S. K. Talaiage will deliver a sermon at the St. John’s Methodist Church, this evening, at j 7J4 o’clock. The newspaper printing offices in Charles i ton narrowly escaped destruction by fire and total | derangement, on Wednesday last The fire was j discovered in the Standard office, and subdued with comparatively small loss. The editor referring to i the fire, says: “Our loss will not be heavy. Home sash were dashed*ti; the plastering fell in places • I prints and papers were drenched; cases w - ere j overturned ; columns of matter were knocked into j pi; rules were broken ; type scattered about; and i some books are a little the worse of navi nation; ; but a few hour’s hard work, with some dozen hands, we began to look nearly right again. Our cotemporaries have placed us under manv obliga tions. It has not been necessary to task them greatly ; but, at a time when it was still doubtful to what extent we might be thrown upon their liberality, they all came forward with offers of as sistance, so frank and hearty that, in the pleasure thus inspired, we are almost reconciled to the event ' which occasioned its occurrence. HP The foreign papers inform us of the great anxiety on the part of the Emperor of the French, to have, at least, all the preliminaries of a peace firmly established before the advent into the world of the child of Eugenie. The Emperor was anx ious that so important an occasion as the birth of a young Bonaparte, should find the public mind of the people of France in such a satisfied condition, as to give full vent to the enthusiastic pleasure which would follow so interesting an event. In a great measure, the desire of Louis Nopoleon was gratified; for almost simultaneously with the un uouucement that the plenipotentiaries had agreed upon the terms of a peace, and the news was flashed over I ranee, the glad tidings were communicated that the Prince of Algiers was bom. If it is true that there is always joy in Heaven when a boy child is born, it is equally true that there was great joy in France when the young Prince made his appearauce. Os course, what will appear to our people as sublime tom-foolery, will not be so re garded in France. We may attribute it to the pre judices of political or other education, it matters not—the people of France are perfectly bewildered with delight at the happy event—guns have been fired—cities illuminated—and every conceivable mode of public and private exultation induled in. Nations are blit families on a larger and more ex pensive scale. The birth of a young daughter or ! son, with parents in the humble walks of life, ex | cites a degree of happiness and pleasure among I members of their family and friends, and nu merous congratulations are made upon the occa sion; and yet in circles beyond the immediate sphere of the family, but little interest is felt in such an event. The Prince has been born, and the French fami ly are delighted, and if they are disposed to be enthusiastically happy, the world of pleasure is ' boundless, and they - can freely indulge themselves ! to their hearts content. At the American ball iu Paris, the palm was uni versally awarded to Mrs. Lesusr, of Norfolk, Va., for pre-eminence in the display of diamonds and lace. The late Henry Parish, of New York, left bv his will the sum of 50,000 to four benevolent in stitutions. Among them was .* 10,000 to the Amer ican Bible Society. The Philadelphia papers notice the death of layse Newcomb, Esq., one of the oldest and most expectable members of the bar in that city. Theodore, one of the Aztec children, died at ierlin, of fever. The Sultan's brother is dead. The buildings which surround the famous and i oeautiful church at St. Germain l’Auxerrois, in i Paris, are to be demolished, so as to make the j riew of the building unobstructed. From the Savannah RepvHican, April 3. Melancholy Occurrence. A most melancholy affair occurred at the house if Mr. Fugh, in Drayton street, yesterday after noon. Mr. John F. Deiubriski, a Foie, and one of hose unfortunate exiles who have been driven from their own land by the political convulsions of iate years, being destitute of means and employ ment, deliberately placed a pistol to bis side and discharged its contents into his body. When our reporter saw him, a lew hours after the occurrence, ne was still alive, but suffering greatly from pain j and internal hemorrhage. No hopes are enter- j ained of his recovery. Mr. Dembriuski was a young man, some twenty- ■ four or twenty-five years of age, was educated for | die army at St. Petersburg, joined the Hungarians i in the revolution of ls4s, taken prisoner lifter a i disastrous battle, and sent to Ht: Petersburg. ' While on his way he escaped from the guard, pass si through Belgium, into England, and thence i ■ame to the United States. He arrived in this city about three weeks ago. The following note in the handwriting of the unfortunate man, was found in his room. Savannah, April 2d, 1856. Lam tired of life. T am here as a stranger. Could not find any employment, and my money was all gone, and so I resolved to commit suicide. 1 fought in Europe against despotism and lost every tiling I possessed. No bullet could find me in the battles, and here, in a Republican country, I am obliged to shoot myself. Dear Charles you are my only friend. Farewell forever. If there is another world, there we will j see one another again. J. F. W. i The cause that I don’t sign my name is because I don’t want my parents to know that I am dead. It would kill my mother. X Arvery Rg Pmsk, Remember me. Since the above was in type, we learn that Mr. Dembrinski died at lojsj o’clock last night. The ladies of Aurora, 111., have passed the fol lowing resolution: Resolved, That if we, the young ladies of Auro ra, don’t get married this year somebody will be to blame. Old, but Good. —The New York Mirror, notic ing the fact that none of the courts in that city sat on Good Friday, localizes au old English story thus : A somewhat eccentric, yet very celebrated judge I of the Superior Court, some years ago, was asked by a counsellor to put down a certain case for the last Friday in the month, which happened to be Good Friday. His honor indignantly replied: “No, sir; won’t set any cause down for that day. There never was but one judge who tried a cause on that day—that ! was Pontius Pilate, sir.” A Dangerous Mistake of the Telegraph. —ln the New York papers’ Washington news per tele graph, published yesterday, it is announced that j the ‘Washington Bank” o t this citv has failed. There is no such institution here. The issues of 1 the “Bank of Washington” of this city are as good as gold. The so-called bank of this city that has j squashed up is the “Arlington Bank,” a bogus con cern from first to last. The telegraph operators j should be more careful in making such announce ments. — Washington Star. Melancholy Suicide. — Robert W. Armstrong, j who has been long residing some twelve miles J North of this place, deliberately shot himself dead j on the 25th ult. The deceased had always borne an excellent character as an honest man, and we believe was a member of the Presbyterian Church. He was perhaps over fiftv years of age, and was about to be harrassed with au old claim which he deemed unjust. It is supposed so far as we are in formed, that this working upon his mind wrought him up to the commission of the dreadful deed. Selma Reporter. Svil company is like tobacco smoke ; you cannot be long in its presence without carrying a taint of it. BY TELEGRAPH. Farther by the Atlantic. In Constantinople the Divan, in consequence of the remonstrances of the merchants, had renounced the projected issue of 100,000,000 of paper money. Advices from Africa, dated the 25th of February, J announce that disturbances had occurred at Cape Coast, and that thirty natives were killed and one hundred wounded. The Indian mail had arrived at Marseilles from Trieste. Oude had been formally annexed and the King deposed. The rebellion in Sandall had been renewed. Congressional. Washington, April 2. —In Congress to-day noth ing of importance occurred. Rhode Island Election. Columbia, H. C., April 3.—The elections in Rhode Island have resulted in favor of the ticket run by the Americans and Black Republicans, with the exception of the candidate for Lieutenant Gov ernor. The result for members of the Legislature is doubtful. A despatch received eight hours later than the above, states that the Republicans have elected the whole ticket by three hundred majority, and carried both branches of the Legislature. New York Market. New York, April 2.—Flour was dull, and the sales comprised 7,500 bales. Corn was lower, and 13,000 bushels changed hands at 63 cents $ bush el.

It is much joy when you first get married, but more jawy after a year or two. [communicated,.] To Gas Consumers. Mr. Editor: I would ask permission to make the following inquiry through the medium of your paper: Have thegas consumers of Augusta been yet sufficiently goaded by miserable gas and exorbi tant charges, to have been brought to a state of feeling which may determine them to act in convert to resist the extortion ol the present Company, and to take suitable measures, either for establishing another, or withholding their support from the one which has so long and so unscrupulously scourged them ? Pro Bono Publico. W ortns ! Worms !— A great many learn ed treatises have been written, explaining tin origin 01, and classifying the worms generated in the human system. Scarcely any topic of medical science has elicited more acute observation and profound research; and yet physicians are very much divided in opinion on trie subject. It must be admitted, however, (hat, after all, a mode of ex pelling these worms, and purifying the body from their presence, is of more vwlue than the wisest disquisitions as to the origin. The expelling agent has at length been found— Dr. M'Lane's Vermi fuge, prepared by Fleming Brno., is (he much sought after specific, and has already superseded all worm medicines, its efficacy being universally acknowledged by medical practitioners. £5?” Purchasers will be careful to ask for DR.

The Empire State of the South still ahead in |her Improvements. rrnilis article will compare favora- JL bly with any of like character in the known world. mrtT^T^i I find that by putting it in the form of a Soap it gives it a decided advan tage over any Balm, Salve, Liniment, ; or Ointment that can be made for the cure of dis eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents its vir tues from being impaired by age or climate, and renders it very convenient for use. Its action is prompt, and at the same time harm less, as it contains no mercurial or other prepara tion injurious to the patient. This article, there fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers, Cuts, Flesh Wounds, Ring and Tetter Worm, Piles, Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurry, Sore Eyes, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac., extract scurf and dandruff from the head, thereby preventing premature balduess. It is also one of the best remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses ; extract tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a 1 superior dentrifice to the teeth. For.sbaving soap, ! it forms a rich lather, softening the beard, and | curing such sores as may be on the face. In the cure of all the enumerated diseases, and particular • ■!■/ sores, this soap has proved a balm indeed, by its wonderful healing powers. I can procure certificates innumerable were it necessary, but believing that a single cake is only requisite to prove its efficacy as above stated, anil wishing to avoid everything like humbuggerv, I leave it to those who w ill give it a fair trial, not doubting they will then declare this to bo the tie plus ultra, of the age in the healing art. ; ' Prepared by C. Pemble, Augusta, Ga., and sold | by I). B. PLUMB A CO., Druggists. Price 25 cents. dacSmins ap2 ~ H. G. FARRELL’S j CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT IS well known to possess the most wonderfully healing, penetrating and stimulating properties, and by its promptness in effecting cures, which previously had resisted all other medicines, ad ministered by the most scientific physicians, has placed it far beyond any similar remedy ever in troduced to the people "of the United States. It stimulates the absorbents to increased action, and tbits enables nature to throw off disease— it pene trates to the bom*, adding strength and activity to the muscles —it is powerfully anodyne and thereby allays nervous irritation, producing a delightfully pleasing sensation through the whole frame. Owing to its remarkable amiceptic properties, it purifies and neutralizes that poisonous, corrosive principle which renders old ulcerous sores so difficult to heal; it therefore is peculiarly adapted to their speedy cure. This Liniment from its penetrating anil strengthening qualities has been found to be a spe cific for Paralysis or Palsy, Whiteswelliugs and diseased joints, and in fact all conmlaints invol ving the muscular system. It has cured cases of Rheumatism of twenty to thirty years’standing, and affections of the. spine wherein the entire spi nal column was so crooked and distorted, that the patient could not walk or stand without artificial support. Numerous cases of Palsy have been cured when the tlcsh had withered, leaving nothing but the dried skin and bone, and the limbs totally i without use or feeling. For Children with Croup j it is of inestimable value, rubbed and bathed over j the throat and chest. If applied freely on the chest ! it never tails to give relief in the severe (kmghs al j tend in a Consumption, Asthma and Colds. It heals wounds speedily—will cure Scaldhead, Mange, etc. Planters and Farmers will find it a most valuable medicine to be applied to Horses and Cattle for Sprains, Bruises, Lameness, Stiff Joints, Sweeney, Dry Shoulder, Wounds, Burns, Splint, Chafes or Galls, Hardened Knots on the flesh, etc. • J Atoll out for Counterfeits! The public are cautioned against another conn- j terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called j W. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex ists. and they will perhaps only discover their error when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil effects. The genuine article is manufactured onlv bv 11. • G. Farrell, sole inventor and proprietor, and whole sale druggist, No. 17 Main street, Peoria, Illinois, j to whom all applications for Agencies must be ad- i dressed. Be sure you get it with the letters H. G. be- I fore Farrell’s, thus—H. G. FARRELL’S—and his 1 j signature on the wrapper, all others are counter- i feit. Sold bv IIAVILAND, RISLEY A CO., W. H.
