To know what will save life, to know w tint will

thereiore, as u man desiring lo do my duty faithfully ,
have dotted down some of my thirty live years' expe
rience with lirandretti's Fills, whicfi am an efTfciiial
assirtiant of nature, and cause the expulsion of ncri
uionious humors the occasion of every sickness. TvCt
as admit that corrupt humors prevent the free circula
tion of the blood, that Jtrandrcth'B Fills take out
these humors, giving health fur pain, and strength for
weakuess.
No man is sick save when the principle of corrup
tion gets the ascendency; Hramlretb's rills aid the
Lite 1'rineiple lo regain ihe empire by removiuif the
corrupt humor from the body. Many a time 1 have
seen life apparently at the laift ebb, when tltestf Fills
were given, und iii a few hours the dunger was punt,
ami health's flood lido gave the p:ttitnt renewed life
ann viuor. Many are the utuen, motlien, sons, and
dan liters, thus saved.
These celebrated rills are eoaipnsed wholly ef me
dicinal herbs, and do nut ootitnianuy mercury omtlir
tniueiur, being peituutly harm lens to the n mat tender
aire or weakest frame; yet sure to st-arch out the cause
of sickness, and restore the health if taken according
lo the directions.
Let no one imuuiue titer are too wenk to bear the
effect of these Fills, wltico put no weakness into the
frame, hut draws weakness out. A few dosrs will be
get confidence, aud then the beauties of purgation will
gruduully become unfolded to oar view, which, en
forced with lir.imlreth'i Vegetable I'uiveieal Fills, is
able to cure every discue where the organs are sound,
aud greatly i uc mow the average of human life.
I have now ncd on my own person, und prej'-arcd
and udmiiiistered, Hnitidreth's FilU for tliir y-live
years. I believe they are the bust pargative u the
world: and with this medical quality they have also
a tonic erlV-ct. And as I aui of the firm opinion that
inflammation and fevers are caused by corrupted
hi hmI not being timely evacuutcd, benauee it reanrgi

for that party the merit and ndvnntnges of tlie
constitutional amendment iilmliMimg shivery.
What were tn be the (lirlitigiiishini; principlfi
of the reformed Democracy the I'osl did not
inform us. That point, however, ia touched
upon in the following, from thu Pott of Sutur
duy :
" We should like to hi'ar, also, whether Iho
II luntri.Mia Rgrnti on our ride of the question
had the sagacity to suggest nn ' intrinsic policy
or scheme' for the uuiied efforts of both Noith
and South, which, in our opinion, would go
further toward reproducing a cordial nninn be
tween them tlinn any external plan of lililios
teriim and robbery. We mum the establish
ment of the principles of free trade as the fier
munent policy of the whole nation. That prin
ciple, now that slavery is removed, ia destined
to be the rallying point of the great popular
and Democratic party of the future ; it ia pni
itive, comprehensive, true and consistent with
onr institutions ; it hae ufwnys been, from rea
0111 of oirciimstance, very acceptable at the
South; and the concession of it on our part
would be, we believe, hailed with eagerness
and joy by large numbers of the .Southern lead
era and people aa a compensation for the. re
linquishment or loss of slavery, It would
furnish the only basis of compromise now pos
sible with honor to eithor aide. Did the Pres
ident Ihiuk of it ; did Seward suggest it was
it talked of at all j or was it wholly overlooked?
If it waa forgotten, wo think the negotiators
ou both sides neglected the most vital uod sug
gestive topic that could have beeu brought into
the debate. Hunter, who is almost a fanatical
free-truder, would have closed liis jaws upon
the thought like a tuupping turtle; und Steph
ens, though an ancient Whig, has shown that
he can change round when the occasion serves.'
At nny rate, we could have put u,on them the
burden of rejecting a principle which is more
than half their Block in trady iu Europe."
The Post lias never hitherto favored rose
water remedies: for the rebellion. The idea of
offering the South free trade iu case they will
lay down their anus seems to us especially and
farcically absurd. It evidently did escape the
attention of President Lincoln and Seward nt
their receut confluence. We presume it never
occurred to either of them. Does the Post ad
vise a fresh commission, for the purpose of ten
dering this new olive branch to thu rebels in
anus I
Nor do wo see very clearlv how the Post will
make free trade any more available as the basis
of its regenerated Democratic party than it is
likely to be a ground of compromise with
tho rebels. For a good ninny years tn come
the country will requiro a very large revenue
from customs, too huge, we apprehend, to he at
all consistent with the notion of free trade. The
money to pay our debt) must be raised some
how, and e fancy the great body of Ihe people
will very greatly prefer indirect taxation us fur
as it will go. Any party which takes issue on
that point and goes iu for direct taxes exclu
sively will huve a dismal time iu .collecting
votes. That is about the only miiioinle that

wrong in not making a full retraction. But
pride and ultstinancy stood in the way.
Much has been said about General Butler'a
civil administration iu New Orleans. We
uti-ly hud the ftilb'st talk with him upon the
subject, lie gave his own views as to nil lie
bud done. As to personal peculation, he had
too much sell-respect lo speak of it. He told
us of the hanging of Mmuliird. Ho snid, that
when New Orleans wne at tho federal mercy.
Hie whole leileral fleet lietug drawn up tu Iroitt
of the city, the desire i n the federal side was
fur pence and quiet. He said that Commodore
r arragul, a most modest and lorheartng olltcer
and gentleman, simply required, after the for
mal surrender of the city, that the U .lied
States flag should flout over thu Custom House
lint ut the same time had the guns id bis fleet
tu protect It. In the event of an atrault opon
the flag, the flag-ship was to open Ihe lire. A
heavy rain came the first or second night. Au
officer of the flng-sl;ip removed the priming
Innu the guns to prevent Its gelling wet.
Mutiifnrd at the head of a tnoli, asraulted tho
Custom Iluure and tore duwn the ling. Match
es were applied to the cannon on the fl ig-ihip
nut 111 vain, it the llug-ship s guns Und lieeu
discharged, ull the other ships nf the fleet
would have opened upoti the city. Fearful
and terrible destruction would have been done.
Before the priming could be replaced, interno-
sitiou fortunately prevented it.
.Muii.lotU, iu leading a limb to tear down the
federal Ihu in frout of a powerful federal fleet
put thousands and tens of thousands of citizens
iittl ;cff Orleans itself in deadly peril. Gen.
Butler ordered his urrest and triul. He wna
convicted aud sentenced (o death. Gen. But
ler, a very able lawyer, examined Ihe authori
ties and found the senteiioe was riht. But the
New Orleans rebels proclaimed aloud that
Iteu B. mould not dare to hare Mumlurd shot.
Mi: mfoid himself ward) lUut and ii.sulimt, not
admitting lor an iimlaut that bis life waa in the
least ilauger. On ihe duy before the one ap
pointed lur the execution, Dr. .Mercer, a most
venerable cititen ol New Orleans and very
dear friend ol Gen. Butler, culled u the
latter ana appealed to mm tu spnre slumlord s
life. Gen. Butler said, "I will grant yon any
thing iu the world. Dr. Mercer, that 1 can
grant consisleu.ly with my obligations to my
country, but I caot ot pardon this man without
sncr fifing my own authority and all federal
authority in the city and the State." Dr. Mer
cer wept. and. although be and General Butler
were together, his were not the only dry eyes
iu the room.
The sentence nf the Court Martial was car
ried out; Mninfurd was executed. Would
that uo worse deeds hud been dune iu tins war.
Only Fivb Lf.ft. Congress has passed a
bill granting tn the five surviving heroes of the
inlant republic, a gialuity of (line hundred
dollars per auniMi lor Ihe remainder of their
live. The venerable list is as follows t
Lemuel Cook, aged t3, Orleans county. New
York.

Tun " Tanner." Pollard, in a clumsy nt
tempt to satirize Gen. Grant, says; "Four
years ago the man who commands nil the arm
ies of the North, had been tanner." He
might have added and is yet faithfully following
his trade, hatinf about tanned all Ihe rebel
bides frien the Mississippi tn the Potomac, re
serving Lee's lo the last. A high old tanner is
Grant, to be sure.
tf Some of the Eng'isli papers are a;in

and the I'nited Hates. Whether or not there
ia any foundation for thov fears, it Is certain
that of all the great powers in Ihe world, lias

Tim last writing done hy President Lincoln,
nils addressed to Hon, Geo. Ashman in renlv
to a request nf the latter fer Hit interview. The
uuswer was written on a card on the President's
knee in bis oarriage, about a quarter past 8
o'clock, Just as he was starling for the theater.
Tho note was as follows;
" Allow Mr. Ashman tn come tn mo at 9 a.
m. to morrow, April 15th, 1805."
At a Cabinet meeting, at which Grant was
present, the subject of Ihe state of the country
and the prospects nf speedy peace were dis
cussed. President Lincoln was very cheerful
aud booeftil, nnd spoke yery kindly of Gen.
Lee and others, of the Coiatderaoy. and nf tho
establishment of the. Goverirnicnt iu Virginia.
Tub PuEsiDBNT'g Dbath He was sur
rounded by Cabinet Ministers all of whom
were bathed iu tears, not even exoeptiug Mr.
Stanton, who when informed by the Surgeon
General that the President could not lire until
morning, exclaimed, "Oh no, General, no, no,"
with an impulse as natural as it wns unaffect
ed, und hu. immediately sat down on a chair
near his bed aud wept like a child. Senator
Sumner was seated on tho right of thu P'esi
deut's coujuh, nt ihe head, holding the right
bund of the President in his own. Ho was sob
bing like a woman, with his bead bowed down
almost on the pillow of the bed ou which the
President was lying.
The World says that yesterday the ennutry
was in the height of joyful exultation over the
decidivo efforts which seemed to promise peace
und the restoration of the Union lo the people.
To day every loyul heart must suffer a terrible
shock and swell with grief at the calamity
which bus beeu permitted to -befall us by the
ussaseinutinu of our Chief Mueistrutn. The
spleudid success of our triumphs is robbed of
unit tie gtory.
It is a deeper Insa Hum if our first soldier
hud fallen by a bullet, and that of the gallant
Sedgwick a greater loss than if an army bad
perished in the shock of buttle.
Washington, April 10 The extra of Ihe
Star has Ihe following: Developments have
beeu mude, showitnr a deen laid nlun bv nart
of a gang of conspirators, including members
of the Order of the Golden Circle, to murder

says: We can state ou the highest authority,
that it lias been ascertained that a regular cun
sptrucy exists to assassiuale every member of
the Cabinet, mid names seven appointed as
suraius who are understood and known, and
when present investigations are concluded nnd

A member of the Catiin rmrtJ i-r
alter toe loonier in i ir.ideiit Lincoln, tliut
lite rebels had lost their best friend.
The Intelligencer has the following : It is
understood from the best etitlmritiee tliut Mr.
Lincoln expressed the utmost coufidenco in the
then Vice President.
Stanton culled on Seward on Friday night.
Mr. Seward, who had not been informed ol the
attack on the President, asked why Mr Lin
coln bad not oalled ou him. On Mr. Stanton
then devolved the unpleasant duty of informing
him, as it was considered best not to keep bini
longer ignorant of the sad event. Slntiton gave
a short stnlement of what had transpired. Mr.
Seward at once appeared to comprehend Ihe
great events ol the night, which, instead of de
pressing, only strengthened him to his own nf.
Iliciion. s
After the tragic occurrence, au officer com
manding one ot thu forts east of the city, was
returning to his command, and when between
Lincoln Hospital aud Camp Belay, he cm te
suddenly upon two men riding desperately.
These two men turned down a large lane in
which were four oilier', nil mounted. The of
llicer and others with him gave chase, where
upon the officer was wounded. The parly pur
sued rode rapidly nway, and escaped with their
friends, who were undoubtedly wuiting fur
them.
Thu soldiers are greatly incensed at the as
sassination, but are counseled In calmness.
The Tribune's Washington dispatch i( the
Kith says Maulon inclines lo the belief I hut
; Booth is secreted in the. city, but his band nf
accomplices escaped across Ihe western bridge.
The correspondent says of Booth : Ou Friday
about H o'clock a.m.. three strangers, rhabbily
dressed, called on him, hut not being nt the
room, they left. They had the general ap
pearance of refugees. About II o'clock Booth
came in. looking uuusnully pale'aud called lor
some piper. After writing some time, he n-k-ed
Ihe cietk of the hotel whether this was IrjGI
or I SOS. The clerk then noticed the change
in thu deportment of Booth. He sealed bis
letter, put it in Ins pocket, and left.
Thu following is a copy of a note ho sent to
Vice-President Johnsuu. last Friday, which
was found on bis table only yesterday, along
with other papers :
" 1 do not wish to disturb you, but would be
glad Iu have an interview.

Johnson was nut at Ihe time, aud did not see

Chicago. April 15. Dispatches frm every
portion of Ihe North show the most bitter feel
lug against secession sympathizers. There
have been no serious outbreaks, lint individual
instances are mentioned where persons express
iug secession seiiUiueuls bate been summarily
dealt with.
A synipiilhitrr at Washington was shot dead
try a soldier lor rejoining ever the death ol Mr.
Lincoln, and the soldier was not arrested.
Gcu. Wells was arrested and sent to the
penitentiary in New l ork city for a similar of

The universal feeling seems lobe lo nele
out ihe rernest J'lilice to all fviupwtlricrs with
UI.irOK.MA AMI -OKKUOJt RAILROAD.
The Sun Francisco Bulletin speaking of tho
pnjeot says :
The California entnpnny propose to build the
road from th terminus of the Marysvillo and
Oroville road (already in operation) to the Sis
kiyou mountains, on the Oregon border, via
lied Bluff, Shasta and Yreka. The Oregon
oompany, known as the California anil Colum
bia Ktver Unilrotid Company, will continue it
inrnugji tne uogue river.Uinpuua and Willam
ette valleys to Portland. The whole length of
me roan is t.u miles, npil it is estimated tn
cost about $:!.. MM), (MM). Many years must
shipse, perhups.beforo the entire completion of
such an extensive work, the length and oust of
winon are nearly one-third those of IhcPaoilia
Railroad ; yet that it will ho built there is no
doubt, while important sections of it. at either
end. will he commenced during the present
year. Apart from the need for it as a connec
tion between the Central Paoiho Railroad ami
the IColnmhia river and Pnget Sound, it is
made a local necessity by the peculiar topog
raphy of the region it will I lint it will traverse.
The productive valley land of Not thorn Cali
fornia and Oregon lie In a trough between two
mountain chains the Sierra N evades or Cas.
cades and Coast Kango, A lino of railroad
connecting these lauds with tide water cau
alone give the inhabitants quick access tn the
best markets for I heir products, and invite the
immigration of an agricultural character which
is so essential tn the solid prosperity of a Slate.
To the farmers nf both Northern California
and Oregon, the cost of transportation, be the
uluw arid devious modes In vogue, is so great
us to union tit to an iilmist complete embargo.
Direct riiilroiid communication tn Portland nt
the north, thence by steamboat to the ocean
and to Marysvillo nt tho suulh, thence by rail
mail already in operation or progress lo the
Bay of San Francisco, would removo vxisllur
difficulties and burdens, anil enable the fanners
nf the rcgiouHlins opened to furnish for expor

could not get lo market nt remunerating rutus.
A great many papers in California mid In

ter some of (he Washington correspondents
have fallen into an error iji stating that Con
gress had passed n law giving liberal grants of
land to aid in constructing this proposed rail
road. Wo regret to say that such is not Hie
fact. The hill passed the House but was de
feated in the Senate. The following extract
from a letter of Congressman Colo of Califor
nia, the author of the bill, under dale of March
Hi, explains itself:

worth more money per pound, but they cannot
lay any claim In requiring less attention than

New York, April 17. Mrs. Harris who was
iu Iho box with the President, makes tho fol
lowing statement : Nearly au hour before the
commission nf the deed, the assassin camn tn
the door of tho box. looked in, took a survey
of Ihe position and its oooupants. . It was
thought at the time that It was either a mistaku
or exerolso of impertinent curiosity, Ciicutn
stance attracted no particular attention at the
time, lint upon his entering the box again,
Muj. Huthhurn arose and asked tho intruder
his bisiueus. Hi, rushed past without making
a reply, and placing his pistol olose tu the
President's head, and actually in contact wilh
it, fired then instantly springing npon cush
ioned balustrade, made a backward plunge
with his knife aimed nt ihe faoe and breast of
Mr. Linooln. Mnj. Katliburn, springing for
ward tn protect the President, received n stub
in tho arm. Tho murderer then jumped npon
the stage and ell'eutod bis escape. "The rapid
ity with whioh the attack was committed upon
the President was astounding. Mrs. Linooln
saw the form of a person go down from tho
box. and thought Mr. Lincoln had fallen out,
and looking to see if sho could see him on the
floor barely saw the culprit jump to the stage.
When all was over, she turned her eyes to
ward the box anil saw that Mr Lincoln's head
had dropped furwurd upon his breust, and at
once realized what bad transpired. From the
moment tou ('resident was shot, to the time of
his death, he was insensible, and exhibited no
signs uf pain. Ho recognized no one, in foot
it is believed he had not opened his eyes.
Blood troubled his breathing, often making it
exceedingly diflicnlt. ,
