The following is an extract of a letter received from Rey Win. Oalu.-ha. Berkshire, Vt., Oct. 22, 1848. Messrs Sands: I have been afflicted with a severe pain in my side, occasioned by a diseased liver, for the last 20 years, suffering at times what language cannot convey; but since taking your Sarsaparilla 1 have been greatly re lieved, so much so that 1 have been able to attend to my busiuess. aud preach occasionally, for the last IS months. I wholly discarded all other medicine, and thoroughly tried the Sarsaparilla, which I can recommend in truth and sincerity to all those who arc in any way afflicted wit h any species of scrofulous complaints. There have been some remarkable cures effected by its use in this vicinity. Mrs I. Shaw, by the use of six bottles, was restored to bet ter health than she had before enjoyed for ten years; and Mr W. Stevens, who had been severely afflicted with erysipelas, was entirely cured by the use of a few bottles. Yours truly, WM. GALCSHA. SCROFULOUS AFFECTION OF THE EYES. South Kingston. R. I., Oct 11, 1847. Messrs Sand : Gentlemen My little daughter, when one year old, was attacked with a scrofulous humor on her face, which soon after extended into her eyes, causing almost total blindness in one of them, and disfiguring her whole faco. 1 employed two physicians to attend her. wh exhausted their utmost skill to give her relief, but it all proved useless, and finally one of them remarked to me that he had known of some striking cures effected by Sands' Sarsaparilla. and advised me to try it. I obtained one bottle which she commenced using, aud before it was all used up it had effected an entire cure. It is now oer four years eince she was cured, and there has been no re appearance of the disease, and we are eatisnvd that it is a perfect cure. It gives me great pleasure to add that I can recommend it to every sufferer from anvsiimlar complaint. Yours respectfully. GLO. ROBINSON. Prepared and soil, wholesale and retail- by A. B. & D. SANDS.

It shows which way the wind blows: "As your paper has taken an indepen dent stand upon the subject which nosv agitates the public mind, 1 hope you will not refuse your columns to a short exami nation of the proceedings of our late whi- convention, and Gov.Manly's address. ! i r H, ! ly, and my opposition to his nomination arose simply from the mode and manner in which he was originally brought before the people as a candidate for the office of Gov ernor. Upwards of two years ago Gov. Graham's second term of service being about to expire in all the primary meet ings of the people to nominate his succes sor, no mention was made of Gov. Manly; but both west and east, it was conceded that the nomination was due to the latter. In defiance of this clearly expressed opinion by the people, a Convention assembled in Raleigh in mid winter, composed almost exclusively of delegates from the surround ing counties, aud 1 believe to the surprise of the whole State, or at least to the voters of the ninth congressional district, brought forward Gov. Manly as the candidate of the whig pasty." CUBA. We understand, says the Na tional Intelligencer, that information has recently been received at the Navy De partment, from Cuba, which promises a most happy and immediate termination of all difficulties growing out of the Lopez expedition.

We felt perfectly confident, when we asserted a week or two since that Gov. aulj had taken ground against the pre sent basis of representation in the Legis 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: Wenth worth, July 1G, 1850 Mr Httlden 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 were present on that occasion and heard him, do certify that he then declared most distinctly and unequivocally that he was in favor of" abolishing the present black or federal basis and of instituting a white basis tn its stead." He called upon Col. Reid to know what were his views on this sub ject ; to which the Colonel unhesitatingly replied, that he was opposed to any change whatever in the mode of apportioning our representatives, ana 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 to Equal Suffrage than his opponent. Some whose signatures are hereto an nexed are Whigs, 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 Whigs or Democrats, to give the truth to the world whenever doubts have arisen in relation to the position and views ot him who may be a candidate tor office, and especially on a subject so intricate and important as this. We heard Gov Manly on the occasion referred to with our own ears, aud are willing to testify to it ; and 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 be necessary in order to establish the truth, we consent that thi ffiflnublished T. B. WHEELER, JOSEPH S. ROBINSON, Jr. E. W. HANCOCK, J. W. ELLINGTON, T- RUFFIN, Jr. The above gentlemen are as respectable as any body of men in Rockingham or in the State ; and their veracity no man, who has any regard for the truth, will call in question. lhcy assert, in the most positive mamier, 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 declared himself opposed to any change; and that Gov. Manly then ''announced himself in favor of the change, and a better friend to Equal Suffrage than his opponent." THE LAST MESSAGE. We saw it stated last week, that President Taylor had prepared a message for CongresJ, a 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 a fuller synopsis of Gen. Taylor's last message, which was to have been sent to Congress on Monday week : Washington, July 15. It is now ascertained that a 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. It was to have been presented on Mon day last. It is said to have sustained the Presi dent's policy with emphasis. It recom mended the immediate admission of Cali fornia and New Mexico, as States that had already formed for themselves a gov ernment; and it declared that the Presi dent would have prevented Texas from tak ing possession of any portion of New Mex ico, by all the means at his disposal. Those who have seen the draught of it, now deposited in the State Department, say that it is a must 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'. .

Our uncle Ezra is in the habit sometimes of ''stretching the truth" a little a vicious sort of propensity from which the rest of the familv are smgularlv free. We head him tell Snooks a severe tale one day last j week, which we have concluded to give to j the world: When I lived in Maine, (said I he I helped to break up a new piece of ground: we got the wood oft in the winter, and early in the spring we began to plough ing on't. It was so consarned rocky that we had to get forty yoke of oxen to one plough we did faith and I held that plough more'n a week; I thought 1 should die. It e'en a most killed me, 1 vow. Why, one day I was hold'n, the plough hit a stump that measured just nine feet and a half through it, hard and sound white oak. The plough split it, and 1 was going straight through the stump when 1 happened to think it might snap together again, so 1 threw my feet out, and had no sooner done this, than it snapped together, taking a smart hold of my pautaloons. Of course 1 was tight, but 1 held on to the plough handles, and though the teamsters did all they could, that team of forty ox en couldn't tear my pautaloons, nor cause me to let go my grip. At last though, af ter letting the cattle breathe, they give another strong pull altogether, and the old stump came out about the quickest; it had monstrous long roots, too, let me tell you. My wife made the cloth for them. panta loons, and i haven't worn any other kind since." The only reply made to this, was 1 should have thought it would have come hard upon your susptnders.

St. Mary's, June 27, 18 JO. Circumstances of a somewhat singular character having occuned in this vicinity lately, I have concluded to narrate them to you, as they may lead to the detection of some roguery. The circumstances I am about to mention assume a more singular character than they would ordinarily wear, from the widely know n confession made by "Gibbs, the Pirate," just before his executiion, many years ago, of a treasure hid on Cumberland island beach, the lo cality of which he particularly described, but which tlivers and sundry very labori ous and industrious digging, at different times, have never been able to discover. Somewhat over a week ago, a young gen tleman coming from Savannah to visit hi friends here, made the acquaintance of two gentlemen on board the steamer St Mat thews, who represented ("apart) each other to be w ealthy- One of them stated that he was from New Hampshire, that he had an interest in a gold mine in Virginia, and had come out to visit it, but did not say what had brought him further South. II said he had met at Wilmington the other gentleman, but had never known him be fore. The other party represented him self to be from Virginia, stating that he knows the father of his friend well, that he was immensely wealthy, &c. The young gentleman from Savannah casually mentioned and pointed out to them the Dun geness place ou Cumberland, some what famous about here for the beauty of its locality, grounds, &c. They express ed a desire to see the place, in such a manner as an entire stranger would do to see a place of interest. They therefore stopped in St. Mary's, and the three visit ed Cumberland together. While there and on the beach, one of them, sayin- lie would look for shells, left the party and disappeared on a sand hill near by, "where he was gone some time. His frie"nd shor tly went for him, and the two were gone perhaps twenty minutes longer on the same spot, which will shortly be alluded to again. On returning to St. Mary's, one of them took the next steamer to Savannah, intending, he said, to telegraph his part ners in regard to his gold mine, and also to see or write to Mr Nightingale to ne-oti-man'remainea nef'eV anu snomyuiier'nie open boat of a schooner, in Cumberland sound, came for him. Yesterday some negroes, left in charge of the Dungeness place, reported to the collector of this port that a schooner had laid off the place some three days, but was now gone, and they had discovered a complete path, made by tramping backwards aud forwards of men's feet, from where the vessel was anchored to this spot on the beach where the men first alluded to had disappeared and here, on the sand hill, they lound a very l.irgc hole dug, a strong oak stick which had been used as a pry, and a broken spade. The collector of the port and a party of gentlemen went yesterday to the beach, and found every thing as the rtegioeshad representee!. There was but one digging, and the party had evidently known exac tly in what spot to dig in lor whatever it was that they sought. The collector has taken measures to ascertain if the head winds have prevented this schooner from going over the bar at St. Andrews, and if so, will promptly inspect the vessel to as certain what these singular movements mean. The schooner is the Belknap, Capt. Dexter, of Charleston. The hole dug is same eight or ten feet deep, and thirty feet around at the top. They had cut through palmetto roots, in excavating. The negroes represent that they had not worked by day, and that a good road rati paralled through the wood to the path they hail made, but they had avoided the road. Hurrah for Mystery, Piracy, and Gold! Yours, &c, St. Mary's.' CURfcToF RHEUMATISM. Corrcipondttnce of the Charleston Courier. Warm Springs, Merriwether co. Ga., 5th July, IBjO. I-arrived at this place on the 1st inst.. and 1 have consequently been here a little over four days too short a time, one would think, to derive any advantages from the visit yet 1 have got so much better, that lean only attribute it to the water. On my arrival 1 could barely, with some as sistance, get out of the carriage, and with great care aud some pain crawled into the house. Now I 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 bathing it is the finest 1 have ever seen. These baths are furnished by a spring, dis charging 1-100 gallons in a minute, and is said tube 90 deg. in temperature, which would make it about 8 dez. lower than the . human body. To me . the water is tool, the first plunge a little too much so, but in a few minutes it becomes perfectly delight ful, and 1 feel as it I could remain in it all day; it is biacing, invigorating. While 1 hear others complain that 15 or 20 .minutes debilitates them and even one young man told, me that five minutes is as long as he could remain iu the bath with comfort. From present indications, 1 think it will prove of great benefit to me, " and if I am to believe the representations of many others here, it will cure me. I endeavor not to be too sanguine,' and vet lain buoyed up vith great hopes and ex pectations. Time will prove all. ; l V
