simple one, but the effect is marvellous.
Perforated paper, the holes corresponding
with certain notes Of music, Is drawn
through an aperture over the organ pipes
This stops some, and leaves the air to rush
out from Others. The music produced is
exactly conformable to the perforations,

CURE OF RHEUMATISM.


Correspondence Of the Charleston Courier.
Warm Springs, Nerriwether co.. Ga.,
5th July. 1850.
I.arriyed at this place on the / st inst,
and have consequently been here little
over four davs-tOO short time, one woukl
think, to derive any advantages from the
visit-yet have got 50 much better, that
can OILY attribute it to the water. On
my arrival could barely, with some as
sistance, get out Of the carriage, and with
great care and some pain crawled into the
house. Now | have thrown aside one
crutch, and walked to-day all around the
premises. This seems marvellous, yet it
is true. and can only be attributed to the
bathins-it is the finest have ever seen.
These baths are furnished by spring. dis
charging 400 gallons in a minute. and is
said to be so deg. in temperature. which
would make it about deg. lower than the
human body. To me the water is cool,
the first plunge little too much SD, but n
few minutes it becomes perfectly delight
fol, and / feel as il could remain in it
all day; it is b,acing. insisorating
While hear others complain that Is or
20 minutes debilitatcs them-ard even
one young man told me that FIVE minutes
is as long as he could remain iu the bath
with comfort. From present indications,
l think It will prove Of great benefit to me,
and It am to believe the representations
Of many others here, it will cure me. I
endeavor not to be too sanguine, and yet
| am buoyed up with great hopes and cx-
pectations. Time will provc all.

= THE PROOF! THE PROOF!!

We felt perfectly confident, when we
asserted week or two since that Gov.
Manly had taken ground against the pre-
| sent basis OF representation in the Lesis-
| lature, that In due time we should be able
to establish the fact, by documentary
evidence, IN the most conclusive manner.
The proof has been received, and we lay
! it at once before our readers:
WENrHwoRrH, July 16, 1850.
Mr. Holden-Sir Understanding that
it is doubted, if not denied, by some, that
Gov. Manly in his Speech at this place
came out In favor Of the White Basis for
representation, we, the undersigned, who
him, do certify that he then declared most
distinctly and unequivocally that ne ,cas
IN facor of'' abolishing the present black or
federa! basis and Of instif,aing a ,ohue basis
IN its stead" He called upon Col. Reid
to know what were his views on this sub
ject; to which the Colonel unhesitatinsly
replied, that he was opposed to any change
whatever in the mode Of apportioning our
representatives, and especially SO at this
particular juncture. Gov. Manly then
emphatically announced himself in favor
of the change, and proclaimed that he was
a better friend 20 Equal Suffrage than his
opponent.
Some whose 81 ignatures are hereto an
nexed are Wings, and have therefore no
wish to injure Gov. Manly or his election;
but they deem it to be the duty of all men,
be they Wings or Democrats, to give the
truth to the world whenever doubts have
arisen in relation to the position and views
OF him who may be candidate Tor office,
aud especially on subject so intricate and
important as this.
We heard Gov Manly on the occas ion
referred to with our own ears, aud are
willing to testify to it; aud should it be
denied we pledge ourselves to produce the
certificates of fifty as respectable men as
the world contains
We are not ambitious Of appearing in the
public papers, but should it he necessary
in order to establish the truth, we consent
that this 8dfyg, 8may he published.

THE LAST MESSAGE.-We saw it stated
last week, that President Taylor had prepared a
message for Congress, short time before he
died, and the report appears now to be confirm
ed We find the following in the Washington
Union in relation to it:
The special telegraphic correspondent
of the n. Y. Evening Post, gives fuller
synopsis Of Gen. Taylor's last message,
which was to have been sent to Congress
on Monday week:
WAsH1Noros, July Is.
1t is now ascertained that message up
on the general state Of the country had
been prepared by the late President, just
previous to his death; but it was not en-
tirely finished when he was seized with
his disease.
The principles of it were fully discussed
and settled in cabinet session, and the
writing out committed to Secretary Clay
ton.
1t was to have been presented on Mon
day last.
it is said to have sustained the Presi-
dents policy with emphasis. 1t rec ON
fornia aud New Mexico, as States that
had already formed for themselves gov
ernment; and it declared that the Presi-
dent ,oouid haze prevented Texas from TAX
ing possession Of any portion of New Mex
leo, by aHthe means at his disposal.
Those who have seen the draught Of it,
now deposited in the State Department,
say that it is most powerful and exciting
document.
Great curiosity exists here now to know
whether Fillmore will adopt this farewell
testament of the late venerated President,
or whether he will attempt to strike out
some compromising course Of his own.

The above gentlemen are as respectable
as any body Of men in Rockingham or in

who has any regard for the truth, will call
in question. They assert, IN the most
positiue manner, that Gov. Manly did. at
Wentworth, take the most decided ground
against the present basis, and in favor of
the white that he demanded of Col. Reid
whether he was for or against the present
basis, and that Col. Reid unhesitatingly Y
declared himself opposed 10 any change;
and that Gov. Manly then s'announced

that ITS advertising business has on seve
raj years increased from $1,000 to 6.OOC
above the increase of the next preceding

was not quite $1,000; but the increase O
l849 upon 1843, was upwards of 81 900
with reference to advertising generally
and its influences on business. the Tri-
bune makes the following sensible and
