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.

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. ')

dersigned, commissioners appointed to examine and"
audit claims of citizens for property destroyed by the
Kogue river tribe nf Indians during the war with' said

improvements made by whites on lands assigned as a
reservation to said Indians by the treaty of the 10th
ot September, 1853, beg, leave most respectfully to
report that on the 1st day of January, 1855, they con
vened at Jacksonville, in said Territory, and afier
being duly qualified by taking the proper oath of of
fice, certified copies of which were forth with forward

their duties.
They determined by the most available and reliable

stroyed by the uctuul hostilities of said war. 3d.
Thais rh properly waa destroyed by the Kogue river
tribe of Indian ortheir allies. ' 4th. 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

After claiuiuuis hud closed their testimony the board
proceeded to umke ateardn in the several Sjiotiation

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

as aforesaid, tiie snine lying iu tlie vicinity of Jack
sonville, and uiade inspeeiions of perinanent improve
tnrnts made by whites on said lands previously to
aid treaty, with a view of assessing their value.
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. The following is a
statement of the number and names of cluiiiiiints for
permanent improvements made by whites on luuils as
signed us a reservation to the Rogue river tribe of In

In making nwsnls on claims for spoliation during
-said war, the object of the board has beeu to ascertain
in favor of each claimant the just vnlue of property
actually destroyed, without considering resultant
damages, ur endeavoring to canvass claims with the
view of reducing lliera within the llfteen thousand
dollars reserved from the Indian utiuuities fur the
purposes nf liquidating such claims, believing that
more ample and equal justice could be obtainud by
pursuing such course. b
. Nome few claims of slight amounts for Indian spoil
iation during said war probably remain uuprcseiited.
Hut tiie commissioners have spurcd 110 paius in obtain
ing testimony and making awards in all practicable
vases, wbeve they had reiuvm to believe existed just
claims. Considering the floating character of the
population in the mining districts of Oregon and the
numerous disunities incident to life on our froittbrs,
it is believed that from the lime spent in sesinn bv

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.
I wsnt to bring I hem to the trial, and git
them Ilia opportunity s I wmihl aay, I hero, it
dopemls 011 yon ynorarlvrs what y.sj ill do,
and II yon win visit tries crueltiea, it m tour

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. The deposi
tion ia here, and if genlleinen would like to
bear it, can be rend,
Mr. Wilkinson I should like tn hear It. .

the paper will be read.

We lack space in our columns for all lbs er

The reader will find it all, however, on page 3
onlumns 4 and 5, Con fressionul Globe, Janu
ary 28th, 1805. The witness wns C.W. Thnri
tnn. Sergeant Company K, Sixth New Hamp
shire Volunteers. He wns taken prisoner Sep
tember 30th, 1864. near Petersburg, tent to
Richmond first, and the second dor after bis
capture, to Salisbury, North Carolina, where
he remained until Deoeniber 18th, when, with
Uiohnrdsou, of tho New York Tribune, and
Davis of the Cincinnati Gazette- ho made bis
escape. 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.
Question What notice was taken of that
hy the rebel authorities there 1
Answer None that I know. The report is
Hint they get thirty days lorlough lor shouting
a Ynukee ; Hint it is encouraged. Mr. Davis,
the superintendent nf the hospital, assured nie
that bo has nt the present time tho names of
eighteen liiiutlrtd of our men who died there
between the 1st day of October nnd the loth
day of December, 18(i4.
Question Who is this Mr. Davis ?

it don't matter much now. Wo suppose it w as
virtually killed by the general exchange nf
prisoners siucu repurted tu bavo been ngrred
upon an exchange, whioh, aa explained by
Senutor Harlan, the rebel nnthoiilies persist
ently declined nntil they found that Gen. Slier
man bad them by the throat, and that the army,
shirked and maddened by what they saw at
Millen and heard from Audersonville and Sal
isbury, were about to take (lie business nf re
taliation nut nf tho bands of the President and
Congress. W a are not sorry that the exchange
ot prisoners is Inking place. 1 heir prisoners
in our hands were not all guilty of these crimes
against humanity ; and in spite uf current rea
soiling and international law, it must always
excite sympathy when the innocent auller
for tke orimes of the guilty. Hut there is an
avenging Nemesis
"Who never yet of human wrong

and to her we look with all confidence, for Ihe
fmal judgment and executiou of the infamous
wretches who have caused all this wholesale
murder. Thirty thousand prisoners starved to
death! ! Uetioeforth, the man who lift his
voice in sympathy with those who have sano

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."
