IJrtiiKlrctli'e VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL PILLS, IT is ircnerully known llmt my Gmndfiither was the original inventor nf these remarkable pills. He whh h scientific man, and a medical practitioner of the Old School. . Hut becoming ulurmeit at the mor tality that attended the Hlemlin mid Mineral Prac tice, he tamed Inn attentiun to the pttitly of nature and the philoflophv of disease, nsalno to the natimil reme dial acntn which lie found to exist exclusively in the Vegetable Kinifdom. In bin researches and inventi KHtiuiis, he became fully tatinfied that the life wa in the blood; that by whatever name diseases were dis tinguished, fnipurity of the blood was the source of all h fimpie and truthful doctrine, wbicli, in reducing all dieeasua to a uuit. neceHwirily eatuldinlied the fuel that utl were to be tivutcd oa the auuie general prin ciples, viz: by puryalion. Now the grand dilKculty consisted in devising a veg etable compound that would invigorate, purify, and cleanse the hluud, correct and regulate all the dill'er ent secretions, uud by purgation discharge the whole maw of morbid matter from the body, without reduc ing the strength. After thirty year of close applica tion, he commlered his object fully accomplished in the production ol thvae pills, which have now been before the public One Hundred and Fourteen Years, and it is now (IHft.) nearly HI years since I'r. llrau dreilfa Vegetable ruivcimd 'Life Preserving Tills were tint presei.ted to the American public during which time their superior excellence anil virtues Iihvh been extensively proclaimed by pa pern uud pamphlet, and a rapid yearly increase of the sale of them ef fected. To knuw what will save life, to know what will restore heal'h, isa knowledge not to he bidlin, I, therefore, nun until desiring I o ih my dutv faithfully, have dotted down mime of my thirty live years' expe rience with llrandreth's Tills, u hicfi are an etteclual an i stunt of iiaiure, mid canoe the expulsion of acri mouious humors the occasion of every Sickness. IVt its admit tjuit roriupt humors prevent the free circula tion of the blood, llmt Hmmlreiirii Pills take out these humors, giving heuiih for pain, uud strength for weakuei8. ' No man is sick save when the principle of corrup tion gets the ascendency; liiandreth's Til In aid the Life 1'rineiple to re gum ilieeiupiie by removing the corrupt humors from the body. Many n time I have seen life apparently at the hut ebb, when these Tills were given, and iu a few hours the danger was past, and health's Hood i ile gave the naiient renewed life and vigor. Many are the fathers, mother, sons, and daitanters. thus saved. lliese celebrated Tills are composed wholly of me dicinal herbs, and do not oontitiu any mercury ornthr mineral, being perfect It harmless to the most tender aire or weakest fraioe; yet sure to teiirch out the cause of en-knew, and restore the health if Ukcu accoruiug to the directions. Let mi one iiuuuine tbevare too wt?uk to bear tire eft eel of these Tills, which put no wenkness into the frame, but draws weakness out. A few doses will be get con tide nee, and then the beauties of purgation will gradually become unfolded to pur view, which, eu forced with Hmndreth's Vegetable Uuivetsal Tills, is able to wire every disease where the orguiis are sound, and greatly increase the average of human lile. 1 nave now useu on my owu pentou, unit prepared and administered, tfraudreth's Tills for thir.y-live yearn. 1 believe they are the liesr purgative in the world; ami with this medical qm'ity they have also a tonic effect. And as I am of me tirm opinion that intiummation and fevers are canned by corrupted u.:mI uoi ouing timely evaemtied, necaiiire it reurgi lates, so to speak . over the whole body, and thus cor inipts the son ud bliHd that should nourish all the aieui bers, and actnally destroys ami paralyses me tubers or organs tat are unsound'; and as i know that these Tills have a direct eHect to remove all corrupt blood and acrimonious humors from the liody iu fad, all humors below the vital standard nf health; so I should be guilty of a irreiit sin, did I nut do all in my power to propauate Ute use of a medicine which is possessed of properties so calculated to save and increase the average of human life.

Dkpartmiht or thk Intkkioh, ' ) OJJice Indian AJ air ti, January 31, IWjo j Sib : I have the honor to refer herewith the letter of lion. J. W. Ncmnitli, of the UUUi invlunt aakiug for tnfoniiHliuii as to the amount unpaid to chtiumiil, under the treaty with the Hague river Indium, and as to the propriety of appropriation! to pay the same. The claims referred to by Mr. Nesniith lire bused upon article 3 of (he treaty' with the ltogiiB river In dmus, BepUmiber 10. lHoi' See Statutes at Large, vol. Id, page 1018, The claims hi question are of two class es, vis: 1st. Pay fur property of the whites, destroyed by Indiana 2d. Payments of such improvements as may have been made by land claimant on the reserve. For the payment of the first clues of claims, the urn of $l.UiiU waa retained under the treaty, but, the commissioners appointed to value the property destroyed-brought in un approved list, amounting to $13,110 75, there being seventy three claimants, as will be observed by reference tu tlte copy of their re port herewith, the original having beeu tiled in this ollice by J. Palmer, March 'U, lt&. Having but (15,000 to pay fl't.HO 75, this ollice made "pro rata" puyments of lit 77 per cent to such claimants as made application therefor on surrender of duplicate certifi cates of award, issued to them by the euinmisHiuuers. It would therefore take an appropriation of the fur ther on m of $-j8,HU 75 to complete tho payment of the claims now under l.o!.ice, to the full amount found duo by the cummissioners. The second class of claims amounted, according to the report of the commissioners, to $2,H:W V.5, for which there were ten claimants, and lor their satis faction the sum ol $2,000 has been appropriated, conse quently to make the pavments in full will require a further appropriation of$SU! 25, less $17 43 overplus alter pro rate. It would seem that justice to the claimants, iu both clusses mentioned, would require a full payment, and I would respectively recommend appropriations of the deficiencies. On the copies of the list, in the report of the com missioners herewith, the parties to whom pro rut a payments have been made are designated thus.

Such description of the property deMroved as will enable the commis sioners to iisiwm us just value- "In addition to the above basis of proof, (he hoard will require the same to he supported by the testimony of two disinterested witnesses, when practicable If such testimony eonnot be procured, claimants must present such circumntanlial or other evidence as may sutid'y the commissioners of the justice of their claims. If the claimant cannot be personally present, el units may b presented by aiceut. and proved by any kind of competent Icbtiuionv." The board then proceeded to receive and enierfain proof of claims a aforesaid, reducing the substance thereof to writuig, which will he found herewith ac com puny ing eiu-h chum, numbered from I to 73, inclu sive, in envelopes, After claiuiuuis hud closed their testimony the board proceeded to umke ateardn in the several Sjiotiation cluium hi such amounts a the proof mid circumstan ces of the case would warrant, basin their estimates of the value of all property of a current commercial rate during the war, on a price curieut established by the testimony of several merchants and farmers of Jaekson county, iu said Territory, the suhstauce of which was reduced to writing, and is herewith accom panying, marked II in envelope : a to kinds of prop erty ant therein contained, the value of the same wua efttablirdied by testimony o tie led by claimants, ulweys varying the estimate made according to the description and locution of the property destroyed ; certificate of such awHnls mude iircum puny ing the claims mid proof, numbered from one to seventy three, inclusive, cii- tim.

In severul instances they found the same partially removed or destroyed by said Indians, they therefore deemed it expedient to take the statement of the i-lainmnts on oath, and such other testimony from diniiiterested sources as eonld be obtained, to assist the commissioners in arriving at a just estimate of the value of suid improvements attiie time such claimants were dispossessed thereof by the act of the govern ment. 1 ' The amounts allowed are ink very slight degree only compensatory of the real damages sustained bv kettlers who were' required to remove from said Indi ans' reserve, prior occupancy of agricultural lauds in a district furnishing the best market for fanning pro duce on the Puciliu coast beingi iu most instances, of ten-fold ureater value than the iiuprove'uieniB on the same. Hut the Commissioners regarded their instruc tions as strictly limiting their duties in the premises to the assessment of the Yalna' of improvements on said lands alone, and govemcd uncmselves accordingly. Thts awanls ia oases of reservation claims, umnhored from one to ten, inclusive, certiHcate accompanying tiie nroof, and duplicates of the same, have been issued to claimant., in manner as hereinbefore reported with refereuee to spoliation claims.

THIRTY THOmMI IMMSONEUS STARVED TO DEATH! In the ConRreuional Globe of January 27lh, 28 111 and 311th, 1865, we find reported at length u, Semite debute nn a resolution for relnliulinn, introduced by Senator llitrlan, of Iowa. The resolution provided that by aot nf Congress the President elm II lie empowered to notify the rebel authorities that just ui titer treat our prisoners nf war their own prisoners shall be treated. It was variously amended, and nn a motion to recommit tho resolution with all these amendments tn the Military Committee, this 'debate sprang on. We have carefully read it through, as much edilied by the elaborate ar guments of the Senators in furor nf retalialiim as appalled by the abundant proofs adduced in explanation of tin infernal malice and barbar ity uf the rvbel authorities in- the treatment of I mon prisoners ot war. 1 he reniiirliulilo lea tnre in the debate is, that no Senator opposed retaliation on tiie ground uf insiillicieiit proofs nf cruelty. Mr. Sumner, of Massachusetts, opposed it wholly nn the ground of inhumanity, admitting nil the proofs furnished by the sup porters of tho resolution. Mr. lleiidricks (dem ocrat ) of Indiana, nut bis opposition uo scrip turnl ginnnds, as did Davis (democrat.) of Krntut'kri and Mr. itereriir Jolmsmi, ol Alurv- liind, thought that, though ooii.im..,,, iil in. ternationnl law, (which is the essence nf cur rent morality,) retaliation would be averse to id morals- Mr. Henderson, (republican,) of Mh-snuri, thought it woui I be unjust to re taliate the crimes ol tho guilty upon the hint) cent, lint When it was asserted that thirty th- uttind of our soldiers have been starved to death in rebel prisons by the coiiiiivaiu-e of the rel:el enverntuent, not one nenutor dined, In the lace of the abundant proofs known to be at bund, to di ny the nppullmg assertion. That such is the fact there oau be 110 innro dnubt than that the sun will set tn night and rise In morrow. Hud there been the slightest ehanoe of refutation, Senators Davis. Hendricks, Johnson, Powell. Wright, and Buck .lew, are not the men to have sat silent while the learlul ndictmriit was being read against those ahum they havo so long plead frr and atipportrd. 1 heir silence was a tacit admission ul the alle gation. 1 hey had not ground fur a word in extenuation uf tho crime; they only argnrd the stronger against it by deprecating Ike in humanity of retaliation for revenue. ir. liar lau and those who agreed with bis views in the debater, did not pnt it upon revenge or even upon strict justice, bat on the ground ol neces- ary protection to our prisoners lor the luiure. Suys Mr. 1 lut Ian " but it is said that this would involve the right to scalp, to mutilate, to sell into slavery. I see no connection betweeu the premises and the conclusion. Tb punishment inllicled limy br hard, it may be severe, it may be tertible, for the object uf the punishment is to terrify the belligerent party who has himself departed Irnio the rules ol -civilized warlarn. 1 he frr taliuni is never applied except to deter a bel ligereut from such departure. The punish liii-nl. thereltirM. mar lui Borero. It tnnv lie trr rilile, but should be human; it should not be accompanied by any unnecessary circumstances ol oruelly. II you reluau to resort in lint rem edy you will place your troops that may by the lurtnues ul war lull into the hands ul the rebels at their mercy." It was shown hy this henatnr that we have already practiced retaliation beneficially, by putting rebel prisoners 111 the trout ul battle at Cbarlestnn, and at City Point, hy which menus they were estopped from continuing tmiloruel nractice nn onr nrisotters: that wa had br somewhat similar means deterred their guerril las from firing un our passenger trams uo cars, and otic in Missouri, by shouting ten guerrillas in retaliation lor the murder ol L 111011 cttiseus. Precedent, were, moreover, introduced fionj the laws uf the L'uiled State and from the lislory nf other nations, to show that retaliation tn kind is uot new to civilization ; that its ro sort is allowable ou moral and international law, uot for revenge, but to compel a eruel, re vetieelul, barbarous for, to recede from his bar barilies. We have never reud a speech mure tlmtouglily forical or comprehensive in Hsiuar i.y thau that uf Mr. Harlan, reported in tin Globe, J an. ,'JOlh, pp. 1 and 2. iu favor of re lahation. It was unanswerable, and uo Sena tor attempted to reply. In the speeches of Senators Wade of Ohio, ami Clark of New Hampshire, the reader will detect some vio dictivrurw, but But mora than is quite natural and parduuahle, considering that these gentle men were commenting on the frightful evidence just then furniiurd, uf wbulrsale slaughter by starvation. Mr. ( lark "Neither will it b necessary to starve them or strip them. The moment yoa U-ll these fiends that J ou ire going to do with them a hat ther do to you, they will desist in self defense. That Is exactly my idea about it. I want to bring them to the trial, and that is the object of this resolution, in mr Judgment.

Mr. Howard of Michiren, said -If Too cannot retaliate dietrra for distress. tf ye cannot inflict hanger fur banger, and. If you please, starvation for starvation, exposure for exposure, shunting for shooting, if that has occurred, prny tell me what ground there is loft for retaliation at a'l )" Mr. Merrill of Maine, said The honorable Senatnr from Maryland Mr. Johnson who, to some extent, in his argument, oombats the idea of general barbarity, con cedes that ns a general statement, the treat ment of our prisoners by the rebels has been cruel and barbarous in the extreme. We are then all agreud nn the main qucstiun. Mr. Wado As in tho course of this debate there has been a question raised as tn whether the barbarities narrated in the preamble fo the resolution have been continued since the report made on that subject in May last, I desire tn present to lbs Senate a deposition taken to day by the Committee, nn (be Conduct of the War. It ia tho deposition of a man who has just escaped frnm the dungeon at Salisbury, North Carolina ; he esoaped with those editnia of whom wo hare recently read.

II states that al'tor he bad been two months nt Snulishtiry prison, 10.(100 prisoners were sent there, There, waa.tent room for but 2.01)0. The rest had to stay out of doors, They hud been robbed of their blankets, cloth ing, shoes, hnta and money. Tho only way they could keep Irnm freezing was by digging holes in tho ground and covering themselves with dirt therein. One night six froze to death, (n three months the hospital records showed 1.800 deaths by slarvnlion and ill trenlinent. We quote frnm Thurston's account: "Iu regard to tho treatment nf our men in other respects, I cau illustrate it by nn incident I saw myself. I wns standing one day by the hospital; I had been to see Mr. Davis, nue of the prisoners, who had been appointed superin tendent of the hospital. One of our negro soldiers, captured nt tho time of the explosion of the mine near Petersburg, wns standing near hy engaged in "skirmishing," as we pris oners cull it, examining his clothes fur vermin. A sentinel there, nt whom I bnppened to be looking nt tho time, drew up his musket, took eliberalo aim and fifed, killing tho negro 011 the spot. One nf nnr boys asked hi 111 whnt he did that for. nnd he replied that he did it "to see thed d black son of a l h drop." That I saw done myself.

WHO IS A MASTER MASOX f -Tie Grand Orator of the Grand Lodge of Iowa, In a recent address taid : Latitude and Inneilnde nn the enrtb'f sur- faoe lire incnaured hy degrees, the minutes and seconds aro esteemed tn bn equally important wttii tne uegrees, a'ni ausoiuteiy iiiuiepeuinuir In the perleution of measurement. Mi that lie who placing ntiiluo emphasis nn the degrees, is unmindful nf the minutes, will be regarded as unskillful and defective in his calculus. And so, brethren, in computing our masonio latitude and longitude it is to he feared too great stress has been laid upon the degrees as such, while loo Utile importance hat been attached to the minutes and teoonils, or wbal Masonry enjoins upon us between the degrees. It is to this de faction, this criminal want of attention to what have been falsely called the little things of Ma sonry, that such falso rotlraates have been made as to the character uf onr institution, and that profanes have lometiifies said Masons are no better than other people, whereas Masons should so exemplify their principles in their lives as to constrain others to desire admission to onr rights, lights and benefits. lint I hasten to the consideration, who is a Muster Mason 1 1 hear a brother sny ho is one who is regularly initiated, passed and raised aocording to the due and ancient form. Hut does this really make a Master Mason 1 .1 answer unhesita tingly, nn. . Masonry, at you are aware, is a Master Mason who has succeed in mastering the whole subject in all it parts, whether spec ulative, preoeptiveor prautical. Ho who has simply graduated on the third degree of Ma sonry ba only entered tho vestibule of our glo rious old temple having not yet penetrated far enough to become familiar with its sublime mysteries. If to livo in a Christian country, to profess the Christian religion, and join a church necessarily makes a man a Christian, then to have taken the third degree of Masonry makes a man a genuine Mason, but the premise being false, the conclusion is of cnuru untrue ; still further, u person may take npon himself tho solemn ubligulious of Christianity, and still have done nothing mure than 'stole tho livery of llcnvttn tu servo the devil in.' So if yon were to ask a brother wbal makes him a Ma son, and bo were, to answer, my ohligatitfli, he would havo but linlf answered your question, heuuusu his obligation only makes him a Ma sou nominally, not it facto. It is Ihe working out that obligation into the life that tnnkea him such in reality, it is profession and prnotico, married faith and works 01 cause aud effect, that illustrate Masonry. - In a word, then, a Master Mason is 0110 whose heart is always in the right place, always palpitating at the sight of Ii 11 umn wue, whose conscience is tremblingly sensitive, und true tu its trust as Ilia needlo lo the magnet, who comes out of the dust and toil the complications and antagonisms nf daily life unsullied, with hit soul pcrpjiiilicnlor tu the zenith. He ia a man whoso hand is never lift ed up in violation of God's law us expressed in the ileunlogiio, hut who ia always ready tn miu gle his iiuall'ectcd tears with the sulfcriug sons uud daughter of mortality. Such is my ideal of a Master Mason, nn ideal which I am glad lo know bits many illustrious exemplifications in the catalogue of American Masons." TELEORAPIIIO DlSPATCni.S.
