Keep it before the people, that Charles Manly said,
in the late Whig Convention in this place, that if
there had been found among the people of Old Sodom
in the day of their visitation, such men as the
Wings of the Centre, verify that old LOCOFOCO
TOWN would not have been destroyed thus pro-
claiming his righteousness as one of the Wings
of the Centre-thus trifing with the words of Holy
Writ-thus insulting, grossly and inexcusably, the
entire Democratic party of the State!
Keep it before the people, that Charles Manly is
the candidate Of /" Clique" which has ruled the
State for years; that this Clique -instead of de-
voting its energies to State affairs, and laboring to
stimulate enterprise and industry among the people,
gagged in Federal politics, has been ashing the public
mind every two years, into tempest of excitement
for its own advantage, and has been looking year by
year to Washington City for promotion and partizan
rewards. Sucha concern" animated and governed
by such purposes, 10 unworthy Of popular regard OF
confidence, and ought to be put down.
Keep it before the people, that Charles Manly, in
1874, deliberately charged the people of Edgecombe
in printed secret" Circular, with the intention to
cast thousand beyond their real strength
insulting honest, enlightened and patriotic Coun-
ty without cause and without excuse, and thus leav-
ing it to be inferred, where Edgecombe is not known
that her people were reckless, unprncipled and giv-
en- to open and notorious frauds, at the ballot.box
He has never apologized to Edgecombe for this
insult. Let her remember it at the polls.

NINEvEH OIsCovERIEs.-Very late and satisfac-
tory accounts have been received by The Europa
from Mr. Layard, in Assyria, giving intelligence
Of new and important discoveries In the Nhnroud
mound He has made fresh and extensive exca
vatons in parts of the eminence not yet explored.
and the result has been the finding OF nothing less
than the throne upon which the monarch, reignDg
about 1900 years ago, sat IN his splendid palace.
1t is composed Of metal and ivory, the meta being
richly wrought, and the ivory beautiful carved
1t does not appear in what part of the edice this
discovery has been mad, bat it seems that the
throne separated from the State apartments
bv means OF large curtain, the rings by which
it was drawn and undrawn having been preserved.
At the date of his advices, lthe beginning of last
month,) Mr.. Layard was pursuing his researches
with renewed ardor, in consequence of the aston
shing success that has hitherto attended his exer-
tions. No human remains have come TO light,
and everything indicates the destruction of the
place by fire. Ii is said that the throne has been
partially fuzed by the heat.

NASHVILLE CoNvENTIoN-Tbe Columbus (Ga.)
Enquirer of the 9Th ul!. say that the election for
delegates to the Nashville ention over, and
1t must now be apparent to every man OF ordinary
sense that the people Of Georgia desire 10 take
neither part nor lot in that proposed assembly.
Ii says that the people ready for such
move, and consequently let the matter pass with
out giving themselves much trouble. 1t adds:
SIN many Of the counties there was no election
at all. In some a few votes Were pretty equally
diviLed between the delegates and that incorrgibe
fellow, scattering, and in others what few hap
pened to be about the polls their votes for the
delegates. In this county, where we vote at our
ease t,co thousand, there were but about two hun
dred votes Po'led, and of these nearly one -ha
We're against the convention. In Mhrion there
were twenty-five votes, in Steward sixty-seven,
in Macon sixtv-two, in Early no election; and so
we see the thing has gone generally and pro-
miscuously throughout and throughin the whole
state We deem it perfect waste OF time
and labor TO attempt to collect the returns. They
are few and far between. When the Governor
authorizes their official publication will give
them To the world until then readers must
live on the evidence of things not seem"
The Augusta Chroncle and Sentinel Of the

"Not Heard FfOm.-'The silence of the Charles

in reference TO the late election in Georgia for

SCARLET FEVER CURED.
.AsLonishing Effect Of Water Cruel.

poor child, in William street, was taken down
with scarlet fever. The doctor in attendance had
been remarkably unsuccessful, and determined to
see what no medicine would do in all the cases
he had heard OF this fever were fatal, and he con-
cluded that no medicine would be worse than this
had proved. SO in this case he ordered Water
Cruel. The poor mother knew how fatal this fever
had been, and she though" Il will give my child
Brandreth's Pills and the Cruel" So she gave
him four Pills which operated well. The doctor
the next day, was pleased. told the mother the
child was doing we'll, and to 60 on with the water
cruel. She did-and four more Pills Every day
the .octor ordered Cruel, and every day the mother
gave from two to four Brandreths Pills. In a
little more than week the child was we'll. The
doctor said THAT case had given him lesson for
the child was cured simply by gruel whereas every
other case OF scarlet fever he had had that winter
he had lost, when he had pursued active treatment.
But now he was satisfied That Nature was the best
ply stefan, aided by water Cruel; he might have
added and Brandreth's Pills

DRopsy OF THE HEAD CURED.

poor child. boy about two years old, was
given up to die The parents, nelshbors and doc
tors had no hopes Of his recovery For several
days his breathing had been short and deathIike,
and, in fact, those abound him supposed another
night would be mis- last In this stage Of the case,
an aunt of the child was sent for, with whom the
little sufferer was great lavorite. This lady
having arrived, and being seated by the child ask
ed few questions as the condition of the chids
bowels, and then expressed an opinion that Bran
dreths Pills were capable OF saving its life She
was so earnest in her remarks that her advice was
followed from the moment She gave him two
Pills at once. and followed them up with more in
about an hour she crushed the Pills and gave them
in molasses, washing them down with little tea
The effect was surprising in six hours she had
given him over twelve Pills, and the discharges
were OF the most malignant nature. Suffice it to
say, that in flty-two hours she had given him
fity-two Pills, and all the alarming symptoms had
entirely disappeared. He is now well, and, tho
before weakly child, he is now strong; he is
in fact, re-made.
