By reference to our advertising columns it will be seen that M'lle Dccr Barre. Mr. O. W. Smith. W. B. Rothschild and Mr. N. E.

Statuary, Oil Paintings, &c. We are requested by Messrs.

Our citizens have for years known “ poor Sam”—black, idiotic, eccentric Sam—who has bean employed as a bearer of coffins for Mr. 11. Coffin, to most of our habitations —he is dead. He died on Friday night last. He furnished amusement for many of our young urchins, and was exceedingly fond of public display’s of the militarv, processions of firemen, Ac. He was a free bov, idiotic from his birth ; and Ins absence from his usual avocation, may be accounted for in this announcement of his death. The Postmaster at Rome, Ga. We cheerfully comply with the request of Mr. Thos. J. Perry, Postmaster at Rome, and publish his letter to the Chronicle <£ Sentinel, inasmuch as Mr. Psrry does not consider that the editor of that paper is disposed to do him justice : Post Office, Rome, Ga., 28th March, 1856. Ed.tor Chronicle rfc Sentinel — Dear Sir : I notice an editorial in your paper of the 26th iust., under the head of “ The Mails—Our Subscribers,” in reference to the non-reception of your paper in due time, by your subscribers. You take occasion to sav that you know of no remedy for the evil com plained of, but the turning out of office of the mis erable, imbecile administration of the Government. Allow me to Say, before y’our suggestions be acted upon, correct your own errors at home. The fault lies at your own door, to a great extent, at least. This I am able to prove by the “ miserable, imbecile administration of the Government.” You frequently misdirect your packages. I will mention one case of a recent date. But a few days ago, you plainly directed the Home package of your dailies to Meal roe, Ga. Yet you sav that your papers are regu larly mailed, and if they do not reach their desti nation in due time, the fault is in the Post Office Department. If you wish to put a stop to the numerous com plaints of your subscribers, commence the work ol reformation at home, by turning out of office the mis erable, imbecile administration of the "Chronicle cl Sentinel office. This being done, stop there until you hear of further complaints. Let the blame rest where it properly belongs. Scarcely a week passes that you are not pouring out your bitter denuncia tions upon the heads of the Post Office officials. Why is it that you find more fault than any one else? Why is it that your subscribers complain more about the non-reception of their papers than the subscribers of other papers? Answer these questions, and oblige yours, respectfnlly, Tnos. J. Perry, P. M. The .Mock Governer of Kansas, The Washington Star favors its readers with a brief history Robinson, or Dr. Charles E. Robin son, the mock Governor of Kansas, which presents the antecedents of that individual in very harmo nious accord with his presenter recent position and exploits in Kansas. He is represented as one of those discontented and unhappy spirit.*, which can only be satisfied amid scenes of agitation and excite ment. He reached Sacramento, in California, in 185'.', and at once headod a party to contest, by force, the rights of Captain Sutter, to possessions which he held under a valid Mexican grant. Robinson, with others, sold many of those valuable lots of land, and pocketed the proceeds, and left the ten ants or owners to contend with Hotter in subse quent law suits. A tierce conflict followed the rash and lawless proceedings, iu which the Mayor, .Sheriff, and sev eral good citizens of Sacramento, as well as several of Robinson's party, lost their lives, and Robinson himself was wounded. Under the eseiiement which followed this event, Robinson was elected a member of the California legislature. From the manner in which he represented his constituents, he was compelled to flee from California. At the time of his departure, there ware grave charges affecting his character, introduced into the Legis lature, but he did not remain to hear the result. Ilis conduct in Kansas appears to bo dictated by a total di-regard to law and order; and his sudden departure from Topeka, may be for a similar cause to that which induced his premature departure from California. The Augusta Auxiliary Bible Society will celebrate its Thirty-ninth Anniversary this Sab bath evening, April Bth. at a quarter before eight o’clock in the St. John's Methodist Church, at which time the annual report will be read, and ad dresses made by Colonel Campbell, Rer.

The statement that the small pox prevails m Atlanta is contradicted by the Mayor. Yellow Fevcb at Baltimore. —The Baltimore papers are earnestly invoking their City Council to take measures lor warding of!' the visitation of the scourge which last summer converted Norfolk into a eliarnel house, and which, it is apprehend ed, may this summer visit other neighboring cities. They demand a thorough system of purification of all tiie streets, alleys, lots, docks, Ac., of the city, and refer to the adoption of such a system during the last general visitation of the cholera as the reason why Baltimore enjoyed a marked exemption from the scourge. Tee Earth Growing Uolheii.— lt is stated by German astronomers that the sun is increasing his distance from the earth annually; and, in the course of sixthousand years from the present time, it is supposed that the distance will be so great that only an eighth part of the warmth we now enjoy from the sun will] be communicated to the earth ; and it will then be covered with eter nal ice, in the same manner as we see the plains of the North, where the elephant formerly lived, and have neither spring nor autumn. Paying Homage to the Force of Truth. —While the Know Nothing State Council of Ohio has abandoned, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, its idea of requiring foreigners to remain in this country twenty-one years before they are naturalized, bv striking it out of its platform, the Black Republi cans in the Legislature have virtually signified their approval of the repeal of the Missouri re striction, or Compromise, as it is called by some, by voting down a proposition to respire it. Both divisions of the opposition are paying homage to the force of truth by throwing overboard some of their most obnoxious principles, and adopting in their stead portions of the Democratic platform. Dr. .Simms’ Second Lecture. All who heard the deeply interesting lecture of Dr. Simms, on Thursday evening, felt a strong de sire to be present at his second lecture, delivered last evening on the same subject—" The ante-Colo nial History of the South,” and he was, therefore, greeted by a large and intelligent auditory. The subject grew in interest under his skillful" hands, and every one present was richly rewarded by his graphic and masterly descriptions. The story of the adventures of Ponce De Leon, of Hernandez De Soto, of Lodonikr— of the little French settle ment on Port Royal Sound, south Carolina, early’ in the sixteenth century, and the touching tragedy which marked their return voyage to La Belle France—the sketch of the settlement of St. Augus tine by the bloody Melendez and his atrocious acts of cruelty and perfidy upon the Huguenot French, and the signal reiribution which overtook him— all these and many other passages from the bloody chronicles of the past, were delivered with a thril ling power and vividness of coloring, which made the lecture one of surpassing interest. These two lectures will long be remembered as among the most instructive and pleasing ever pre sented before the Young Men’s Library Associa tion. Americ.au or Know Nothing Party. The grand general ratification meeting con vened at the City Hall, last night. The hall was not crowded, hut yet it was quite a respectable meeting in point of number as well as talent. About one hundred and twenty-five persons were present. Mr. W. 11. Stark was Chairman, and Mr. Li’Cien LaTastb the Secretarv. The nomination for Mayor was General George W. Evans, who received a very large majority of the votes cast, and yet quite a small vote compared with “a majority of the legal voters” of that party in this city. The members of Council declared to be nomina ted by the several Ward Councils, were— First Ward —Foster Blodgf.t, Jr,, A. V. La- Roche, and Dr. Wu. 11. Terr. Second Ward —Wu. H. Maharrsy, James M. Dye, and B. F. Chew. Third Ward —B. Conley, R. 11. Mat, and J*nx D. Butt. Fourth Ward —Wm. H. Goodrich, B. F. Hall, and Wm. H. Stark. Gen. Evans very briefly returned his thanks to the “ American parti-,” for the honor which they eonferred upon him in constituting him their standard bearer in the canvass for the Mayoralty of Augusta. On motion of Judge Wm. H. Gibson, a Commit tee of seven were appointed to prepare such fur ther business for the meeting as might be regard ed “for the good of the Order,” whereupon Judge Gibson, Jon.v Hill, Esq., and the requisite num ber of other gentlemen, whose names we could not hear, were appointed. The Committee retired, and after remaining out about long enough to read the resolutions which had already been prepared, they retnrnedand reported a preamble and resolutions, approving of the nominations of Millard Fill more for the Presidency, and A. J. Donelson for the Vice Presidency. The report of the Committee had been submit ted to the meeting, and upon a call, Col. Cooper, of Shelbyville, Tenn., came lorward and was ad dressing the party, when we were compelled to leave. The gentleman may have delivered a very ■loquent, patriotic and argumentative speech, or the reverse, for aught we know. When the Colo nel commenced his speech, our hastv chronicle of the proceedings must be considered as closed. We understand that the meeting was subse quently addressed by Mr. T. C. Cone, Judge Gib son and Mr. Julies- Ccmmixg, and that the pream ble aud resolutions offered, were adopted. If there was any enthusiasm in the meeting, we did not perceive it. We did expect a more numer ous attendance of the party, when the grand gen eral ratifications of candidates for members of Council, for Mayor of the city, for President, as t veil as Vice President of the United States, were o be made. The Convention. The Wilmington Journal, in alluding to the Cin cinnati Convention, says of South Carolina: “ A large party in that State goes for a Conven tion, or rather for the presence of South Carolina in such Convention. This is owing to the interest felt in the struggle now drawing to a point through out the country —to the feeling that in the National Democratic party alone can tile South rely for safety in the Union ; and, above all, to the admi ration excited by the nobly independent course of President Pierce, and the confidence reposed in him. South Carolina, we believe, will be found •asting her eight votes for any good Democrat whom the Cincinnati Convention may nominate; nut if she herself be represented in that Conven ion, her presence will be mainly due to a desire to promote the re-nomination of Gen. Pierce.” Every word of this is unquestionably true; and in view of the fact that the people of South Caro lina, if the choice were with them, would, bv ac lamation, declare for Gen. Pierce, it is eminently proper that they should be represented in the Con vention, when formidable opposition will be ex hibited to the man of their choice. For many years past the attitude of affairs was such that it •ould not be positively predicted of South Caroli na, that she would certainly support the nominee ■f the Democratic Convention, whoever he might be. There were prominent aspirants for the nomi nation, for any one of whom it was very doubtful whether South Curolina would willingly vote if nom inated. It «as therefore reasonable that her public men should object to the committal of the State in advance, to sustain the action of the Convention. To have been represented in it would have imposed an obligation on the party sending delegates, to support the nominee which could not gracefully— perhaps not honorably be ignored. But this state •I" things no longer exists. There can be no doubt bat whoever is presented by the Cincinnati Con vention will receive the vote of South Carolina. That Convention will be the exponent of a party and of principles that will meet the sanction of that State. There is no parly in the country that can present a platform and a candidate that will be as acceptable, ir that can have the slightest chance for the support if that State. Every indication that can be gather ed from the tact, points unerringly to the ccrtainty hat South Carolina will be with the national Democracy iu the coming contest. It will be i contest in which the only formidable compe tition will be between the Democracy and Black Republicanism. The Know Nothing organization, fast dying out, and the sectional remnants of the old Federal Whig party, will seek to rally their joint forces on Mr. Fillmore in the hope of holding the balance of power between the two leading par ties. It will try and hold together some show of force, waiting, like Wilkins Micauber, “in the hope that something will turn up.” But it is the exponent of no ideas, no policy, no principle with which South Carolina has any sympathy. There can be no question but that the people of that State ire thoroughly with the national Democracy, the real antagonists of Black Republicanism—with that organization which alone has the power to crush out that foul embodiment of fanaticism, discord and treason to the Constitution. This being so, there is every proprigo in the voice of South Carolina being heard in the selec ion of the nominee whose name is to be inscribed on the banner under which the constitutional men of the country will march to the battle. The name of any national Democrat on that banner will se cure her support. But she would hail with an en thusiasm no other name would inspire, that of our present Chief Magistrate, as the sure pledge of victory, security and peace. Motion of the Waves. —Prof. Bache, by a series of calculations, has demonstrated that the waves of the sea travel at the rate of six and a haif miles a minute. The first wave occasioned by the earth quake at Simoda, Japan, in December, 1854, reach ed San Francisco, forty-eight hundred miles, in twelve hours and sixteen minutes. Adulterations of Quinine. —The high price says the Medical Gazette . at which sulphate of quinine can now be had in its purity has led to its extensive adulteration. Physicians and the public should be on their guard, and only obtain the arti cle from safe and reliable hands, else they may be using areenie, peperine, or strychnine ; for all these are employed for adulterating purposes. BY TELEGRAPH. Additional by the Asia. Omar Pacha had arrived at Constantinople.— j Great mortality had occurred among the French ■ troops in the Crimea. The fortifications at Nico laieff had been strengthened. Gen. Luders had ordered all the Russian officers on furlough to re turn. The news of the armistice had caused a : profound sensation of joy to all the armies. Busi- I ness on the shores of the sea of Azoff was active. | The Imperial Foundry on the bank of the river Don was closed, and it is believed that the step is an indication of the intention of the Russian gov ! eminent to abandon its maritime establishment. Later from Santa Fe. | St. Louis, April 3. —Santa Fe advices have been j received in this city stating that two hundred and sixty troops had been ordered by General Garland to invade the Gila country, and to seek redress for , the murders and robberies of the Apaches.

New York, April s.—The Cotton market is buoyant under the Asia’s news. Sales to-day amounted to three thousand hales, at stiff rates. New Orleans Market. New Orleans, April 4.—The sales to-dav reach 6500 bales at an advance of bgth. Middling grades quoted from to ffil cents. The sales of the week are 58,500 bales, and the receigts 52,- 000 against 88,000 bales last year. Thejincreased receipts at this port 499,000 bales. The stock 298,- 000 bales. Washington, April 2. —The seeming ill-feeling which had arisen yesterday in the heat of argu meut, between Senators Bell and Clavtou, was to day amicably settled by these gentlemen. Washington, April 2.—The object of the visit of Mr. Robinson from Kansas to this city, is said to be to ascertain the facts and state of feeling here relative to the territory of Kansas. The informa tion transmitted thither having been so contradic tory and unreliable. He will return homeward this week. While Mr. 11. was on his wav hither, and West of St. Louis, the passengers on board the steamboat organised themselves into a meeting and listened with the most respectful attention to liis statement about the Kansas affairs. Senatorial Changes.—On the 4th of March, 1357, the senatorial terms of the following gen tlemen will expire: J. B. Weller, of California; Isacc Toucey, of Connecticut: Hannibal Hamlin, | of Maine; Jesse D. Bright, of Indiana; Charles i Sumner, of Massachusetts; Lewis Cass, of Michi gan ; John R.

Bv accident, the Southerner’s package, of last week, fiv Van’s Valley, was misdirected, and did not reach its destination at the proper time. We trust such an accident will not happen again. Rome Southerner, April. 3. Such an acknowledgement as the above is much more creditable to the newspaper press, than to place the blame upon the Post Office Department.

This shows a deficiency of a fraction over 33 per cent, from last year, and a deficiency of nearly 49 per cent, front the great crop of 1853.

[communicated. J The Hible Union. yfr. Editor: In the Constitutionalist, of yesterday morning, is a clipping from the Christian Index, stating, upon the authority of one of its exchanges, that “ Dr. Maclat had resigned the Presidency of the Bible Union, and disclaimed any further con nection with it.” It also observes that the ‘‘rea son assigned, is the heretical expressions that are creeping into the new translation of the Bible”— that the “representatives of eight different denom inations are making a very curious Baptist Bible," Ac., fcc. I am authorised, by information direct from the Bible Union Department, New York, to say that these statements are wholly devoid of truth. Dr. Maclat has not resigned the Presidency! To say that the “representatives of eight different denom inations” would make a Baptist Bible, is simply absurd. And to admit that these same evangeli cal denominations would suffer “ heretical expres sions” to creep into the new translation, is to pay a poor compliment to their orthodoxy or their dis cernment. The denominations referred to are the Old School Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Disciples, Metbxlists, Ar Ref d. Presbyterians, Seventh Day Baptists, Herman Reformed, and Church of England. It is presumed that these are sufficiently sound in the faith to counteract the “heretical” proclivities of the Baptists! J. S. Lamar. Dr. M’Lane’s Celebrated Vermifuge AND LIVER PILLS.—A singular combination, but very effectual, as the following will show : New York, Nov. 20, 1552. Knowing, from experience, the valuable qualities of Dr. M'Pant's Vermifuge <:nd liver Pills, pre pared by Fleming Bros., Pittsburgh, I have for some time back considered it my duty, and made it my business, to make those articles known wher ever I went among my friends. A short time ago I became acquainted with the case of a young girl, who seemed to be troubled with worms and liver complaint at the same time, and had been suffering for some two months. Through my persuasion she purchased one bottle of Dr. AT Lane’s I 't-rmifuge, aud one box of Liver Pills, which she took accord ing to directions. The result was, she passed a large quantity of worms, and thinks that one box more of the Pills will restore her to perfect health. Her name and residence can be learned by calling on E. L. Tiieall, Druggist, corner of Rutger and Monroe streets. Purchasers will be careful to ask for DR. M’LANE’S CELEBRATED VERMIFUGE, manu ufuctured by Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa. All other Vermifuges, in comparison, are worth less. Dr. M’Lane’s genuine Vermifuge, also his celebrated Liver Pills, can now be had at all re- ! spectable drug stores.

I The Empire State of the South still ahead in j her Improvements. f HAIIIS article will compare favora £ bly with any of like character 3c in the known world. I find that by putting it in the form TOSsfIT of a Soap it gives it a decided advau 'ISS* 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 prenara j tion injurious to the patient. This article, there | fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers, I Outs, Flesh Wounds, Ring and Tetter Worm, Piles, j Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt j Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvy, Sore j Eyes, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac., extract scurf and dandruff from the head, thereby : preventing premature baldness. 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 superior dentrifice to the teeth. For shaving 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 old sores, this soap has proved a balm 1 indeed, by its wonderful healing powers. I can procure certificates innumerable were it i necessary, but believing that a single cake is only j requisite to prove its efficacy as above stated, anil ; wishing to avoid everything like humbuggery, I I leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, not ! doubting they will then declare this to be the ne \ plus ultra of the age in the healing art. Prepared by C. Pemble, Augusta, Ga., and sold by 1). B. PLUMB A CO., Druggists. Price 25 cents. djtc3mins ap2 H. G. FARRELL’S CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT B'S well known to possess the most wonderfully healing, penetrating and stimulating properties, and bv 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 | traduced to the people of the United States. It ; stimulates the absorbents to increased action, and I ! thus enables nature to throw off disease—it pene trates to the bones, adding strength and activity to i the muscles —it is powerfully anodyne and thereby allays nervous irritation, producing a delightfully ; phasing sensation through the whole frame. Owing to its remarkable antieeptic 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, Whiteswellings and diseased joints, and in fact all complaints invol ving the muscular system. It has cured cases of Rheumatism of twenty to thirty vei*rs’ standing, and affections of the Spine wherein the entire spi nal column was so crooked and distorted, that tlie ! patient could not walk or stand without artificial ! support. Numerous cases of Palsv have been cured when the flesh had withered, leaving nothing but the dried skin and bone, and the limbs totallv | without use or feeling. For Children with Croup \ ii is of inestimable value, rubbed and bathed over the throat and chest. If applied freely on the chest i it never fails to give reluj in the severe Coughs ah | tending Consumption, Asthma and Colds. It heals wounds speedily—will cure Sealdhead, 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. i Look out for Counterfeits ' | The public are cautioned against another couu- t I terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called M . B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan j gerous of ail the counterfeits, because bis having > the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good \ j faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex j ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error : ; when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil j effects. | The genuine article is manufactured only by 11. !
