IT li frenerally known that my GntnHfnther wai the nriKinitl inventor of tlietw remarkable cilU. He wan a prientiHc man. and a mediral nrnrlitioner of tlie Old Kchool. lint lKcniint; aiurmril at the mor tality that hiumi. led the HltMHliiiK and Aline ml Prac tioe, he turned h altuntiun to the study of ltatureand the philosophy of diiease, as alto to the' natural reme dial atrentft winch he found toexint exclusively in the Veirelahlu Kititfdom. In his reseitrrhee and'iiivesti- nations, he became fully satisfied that the life was in the blood; that by whatever name diseases were dis tinguished, impurity of the blood was the source of all a sim pie and truthful doctrine, which, in redncinK all diseases to a nnit. necessarily established the fact that all were to be treated on the same general prin ciples, viz; by ptirvalii.ii. Now the irrand ditticultv consisted in deviuinir a veg etable compound that would invigorate, purify, mid cleanse the blood, correct and regulate all the differ em secretions, and by purgation discharge the whole mass of morbid mailer from the body, without reduc ing the strength. After thirty years' of close applica tion, he considered his object fully accompli a hud in the production ot these pills, which have now been before the oiiblic One Hundred and Fourteen Years. and it is now (IHtio) nearly 31 years stuco Dr. Uran- areuis egeiuoie universal Lite reserving rms were first presented to tho American publfc during which time their superior excellence aud virtues have been extensively proclaimed by papers and pamphlets, and a rapid yearly increase of the sale of them ef- lecied. To know what will save life, to know what will restore health, is n knowledge not to be hidden. I, therefore, as a man desiring to do my duty faithfully, have dotted down some of my thirty live years' expe rience with Uramtreth's Pills, -vlncli ure 'an effectual assistant of nature, and cause the expulsiou of acri monious numors-sine occasion oi every sic miens., iiei ua admit thtit roriupt humors prevent lite free circula tion of the blood, that Hraudreth's Pills tuke out these humors, giving health for pain, aud strength for weakness. Ho man is sick save when the Principle of corrup tion gets the ascendency; Brandreth's. Pills aid the Life Principle to reuain llieempiie by removing the corrupt humors from the body. Many a timo 1 have seen me apparently at me las. eon, wnen mese rius were given, and in a ruw bonrs tne danger was nan, and health's Hnud lide gavj the patient renewed life aud vigor. Many are the fathers, mothers, sons, and dun adders, thus suved. These celebrated Pills are composed wholly of me dicinal herbs, and do not ooutain any mercury orollir mineral, being perfectly harmless to the must leader ave or weakest frame; vet sure to search out the cause of sickness, and restore the bealtb if taken according to the directions. Ixtt no one it n a trine they are too weak to bear the effect of these Pills, which put no weakness into the frame, but draws weakness out. A few doses will be get confidence, and then the beauties of purtfation will gradually become unfolded to enr view, which, en forced with lira nd ret be Vegetable Univeisal Pills, is able to cure every disease where the nrirans are soaud. and greatly increase the average of human life. I have now used on mv own person, and prepared and administered, Urntidretli's Pills fur thirty five years. I ueiieve itiey are the oust purgative iu tlie world; and with this medical quality they have also t tonic effect. And as 1 am of the firm opinion that iuttammatioii aud fevers are canned by corrupted blriod not being timely evacuated, because it retfiirgi tales, so to speak, over the whole body, aud thus cor rupts the sound blood that should nourish all the mem bers, and actually destroys aud paralyzes members or nivalis that are unsound; aud as I know that these Pills have a direct effect to reiuovo all corrupt blood and acrimonious humors from the hod v in fact, all humors below the vital standard of health; sol should be guihy of a if real sin, did 1 not do all in my power to propagate the use of a mediciue which Is ptuwesHcd of properties so calculated to save and increase the average of human life.

WOOL CROWING. It is it remarkable fact that an acricultnrnl nalmn like the United States should lie found an deficient in the production nf wool. One would aupprii that a country. which at the be ginning nf the Rebellion was exporting largely nf almost every kind of farm produce, would have raised itiilicient wool for its own wants: hnt such is not ihe case, nor has it been for a long series of years. Yet the United States has never ranked ns a ma.iuraotunng nation, though Ha manufactures have consumed during the year that is jtiit passed not fur from 130,. 000,000,000 Iht.; while not over one half of Ihis amount has been produced in this country, the other half has been brought from distant lands, ot large cost of transportation ; and at tho same time we are paying enormous sums for transporting oilier produce of tho snil to a foreign market. This coat nf transportation is a very important item in the products of agri culture, and seriously affects the profits arising therefrom. It costs fifty cents to transport a dollar's worth of corn from Central Illinois tn Now York, while less than three cents would deliver a dollar's worth of wool In the same plane. What a differenoe t wonld make in the profits of an Illinois farm, between delivering corn iu Men York, to tin transported to a fur cign land and exchanged for wool, and enli vening that corn into wool upon the form that raised it, and then delivering it In New York, Speaking on this sohjiHjt, Mr. Grinnell says i "At Any point 200 miles from Chicago this ra tio of cost iu freighting is well established; that to transport ronr produots to the renhnnrd, on wheat you pay 80 per cent, nf its vulue j on pork, 30 pef cent.j on beef, 20 per cent, gross; nn wool 4 per oent, This is nut conjecture, but my own experience; tliut I give 80 per cent, of ine value ol my wheat, which iinpi.verislies my farm, tn find a market, nnd 4 per cent, lo find the best wool market, the production of which enriches my seres beyond comparison." This faot should be impressed upon (be mind nf every farmer, that wool enriches Ihe soil on which it is raited, while those products nf wnicn we are exporting so much are rendering sterile nnr most fertile roils. Another important faot tn which we wish tn call attegtinn is that the production of wool has not kept pace with the increase nf population, and has hardly kept pace with the increased consumption nf our manufactures. In 18-10 our manufactories consumed 50,808.524 lbs. of wool, 35.803.114 lbs. nf which wero the pro duct of the United States, and 15.000,410 lbs. were imported. In 1850 the consumption was 71.18(1. 76.'! lbs., the home product of which was M.Slb,mi Ins., and 18.tiiU,7!H Hit. wore im ported. In 18G0 the consumption was 80.386,. 572 lbs., of which 60,51 1.343 lbs. were lionie produce, arid 10.875.129 lbs. were produced nn foreign soils. During all this 20 j ears we were exporting to pay for this wool large quantities of wheat, corn, beef, pork, ice., at a heavy cost nf transportation, w bile the producer nf the wool was bringing it here at a trifling expense. Not only has t e production of wool not kept pace with the population, hut in some Slates there has been nil actual falling off. This is Ihe case in New York, while her manufactures have been increasing the consumption, mnking it a source of wealth lo the State, nnd the beet market in the world for nnnl. In 1850, the State nf New York produced 10,071,300 lbs., while Iter manufactures con sumed 12,538.786 lbs., iinving for lubnr ex pended n pun it $4,778,584. giving employment to 7.I0U persons, and thus biiunig a home mar ket for tlie farmer's produce. In 18(10 the pro duction had declined to 9.454.753 lbs., and the consumption of wool, owing to nn admixture of cotton, lind fallen to 11.708,230 lbs., but the number of persons employed lind increased to 8.041, while the amount expended on labor had increased to $0,0110,316. Now these figures show the importance of the production ol nool to tins sunt!, t nero were unuually pniU to the farmers about $4.5(10.000 for wool ; there were distributed iu 1800 $9,000,000 paid for labor, a large portion nf which would find ita way into tho farmer's pocket. It is inexplica ble that the farmers of this State should have allowed her manufacturers to go abroad every year for about 2.000.000 lbs. of wool, while they were producing that which had tn find a market nn foreign shores. Dill to tuke a wider view nf this subject. In I Boll there were consumed by manufac turers in the United States 80.33(.572 lbs or wool, of which 10.875.111) lbs. were iuiMirted at a cost of $4,842 152. In the same tear we imported $10,000,000 worth of woolens and worsteds. To produce this amount of goods would require at least GI.OOIUMHI lbs. of wool ; then if we had done nnr awn iiinniinicluring and onr own wonl-rnisiiiir, we should have re quired in addition to lint wo did raise about BJ.InHI.UUU Ilia. 1 Ins would have given to onr fanners about $30,000 OIHI. And this amount was paid tn foreign formers, while our bound less prairies were lying waste, paitures only for the deer and buffalo, or a hunting ground for the red man. Thus, with all these wide-ex panded pastures lying idlo, at a lime when our Western granaries were filled with wheat and corn, and which would hardly pay Ihe cost nf transportation, we were hnring near $5.000,. 000 fur wool raised upnn lands in South Amer ica, Mexico, Australia, Mew Aealuiid, cxo a hose. pastures, for fertility, bear no compari son In our Western domains. lint how did we pay lor this $5,000,000 worth of wool snd $40,000,000 worth of wool ens and worsteds I In the same year we ex ported about $45,000,000 worth of furin pro duce, exclusive of collon. tobacco and rice. These being ihe products of Southern snil, we have not considered, hut have taken Northern and Western produce, to deliver which at its destination would require about one-third of its whole value, which would be fI5.UOO.000, leaving $,'0,000,000 for the farmer; while the $15,000,000 expended for wool ai d woolens would require ahont one per cent, to deliver them at the place of consumption, which would have lor their producers about $44,500,000. In I860, bad we manufactured all the wool- ens aud worsteds we oonsome, we should have required in addition to what we did raise 84,- 000.000 lbs. of wool. Since then, our popula tion has greatly increased, which wuuld in crease the demand ; and the short supply of ooltou has also greatly increased that demand, for in 1860 there was mixed with wool in its manufacture, cotton to the amount of 16.009.'- 625 lbs. To snpplr the place of this would re quire about VMSSi.uiS) lbs. of wool, which, sddrd to Ihe 60.511,343. of home production of I860, would amount in rrand numbers to 80j00.000. This added In Ihe 84.000.000 re ferred lo above, will give 164.000,000 lbs. This does not include what would he required by extra population, nor for the increased de mand caused by substituting a large number of articles which were formerly maJe of collon, but nnw are made of wool. And as the South ern States become opened, Ihe demand must still increase. We think we are within the bounds of fair calculation if we add 36,000.000 lbs. to our basis of 1860. which would swell the amount now rrouired In "IKI.II'IO 000 lbs., and this amount will never be less, but continue to increase. This amount nf wool at present prices wonld be worth .'O0.000.0OO, while the whole cotton cropnf the ccuntty fur 1860 was less than tmooo.ooo. Now, the high rata ttt exchange, the high revenue tariff, the scarcity of collon. which mast continue for rears, lot Ihis war end w hen it mar, must give to wool a high value while capital is everyntiure seeking employment, the number of factories which are changing from cotton In wool, aud ths farmer's best interest, call loudly to In in In make every e xertioa to supply our want nf wool, in order that this na tion may be rendered independent of every oilier uation eu Ihe globe. Hut we have another consideration to pre sent. In I860 we expended in labor tn matin, fuoture the 80,386,572 lbs. ahont elevan null, ions of dollars, omploving 49.000 persona. To manufacture tho 200.000.000 lbs. would re. quire about 122,500 persons, which, scoording to tut- prices oi lowi, would receive lor ooin pensntion $27,500,000. It is true, we have not the operatives to msn ufacture this quantity of wool, but those who are doing our manufacturing in fnreign lands, and to whom we are carrying fond at a great cost, and from whom we are taking the pro ducts of their labor, would find it greatly to their advantage to live nearer the market for their food, aud also for their labor. It would certainly save that heavy cost of transporta tion which bears so heavily upon both farmer auu artisan. iv. i. jnoune. To Farmers.

Mr. R, specially refers to these sheep as producers of fine wool, of a length sufficient for combing purposes, fit fur the produolinn nf a " delaine wool of unequalled value for fibrins of luxury,1" without crossing. He speaks nf some samples as four inches long. We have that breed of sheep in Uregon trnm the samn Australian flock, and wool of greater length than that of the same Wood has been exhibited at nnr State r nir.

A lengthy debate rprunr no in the Senate of the United States, Fell. 21st. on a bill es tablishing and regulating a District and a Cir cuit Court of the United Slates for the Statu nf Nevada. 1 he subject Ud to a discussion upon the tenure of mining property, and finally In nn amendment to tlie original bill, which amendment we believe constitutes the first af firmation by either brunch of Congress, of the right of miners to settle upon and work the mineral lands of the United States. It reads as follows : And be it further enacted. That in actions respecting milling claims, tho rules, customs, and regulations of miners shall be regarded as law and enforced by Ihe United Stales i Pro vided, This shall not be so construed as to affect in any wise Ihe right or ownership of the Uni ted States to the same. Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, explains 1 thai in the case of Lnwnsdale n. I'ltrrish, reported iu 21 Howard, which went up from the Territory of Oregon, before tho passage of any law mak ing a disposition of the piblio lands of that Territory, tho Supreme Court ol the Unit"il Slates held lliat, neither parly having any legal interest in the land, the appuul should be dis missed; in other words, that until Congress makes some disposition of the mineral lands. all parlies occupyiug those lands will be held by the Courts of-Ihe United Stales as naked trespassers. The above quoted amendment is me tirst legislation on the suhji-ct towards cor recting the disabilities of settlers upou the min ing Inuds. It verls no fi(c. That is still left in the United States ; but it expressly rocog niii'S the right of prior possession, under "Ihe rules, customs, and regulations of miners." These rules and regulations thus become a part (so to speak) of Ihe Common Law uf America ; an in au actmu of ejectment to oust a possessor of mineral land. Ihe "law of the mining local ity" will be received in evidence by the Fed ernl Courts, to establish the possessor's right. Furthermore this legislation of the Senate, if it becomes the law of the country, establishes the equity of the possessor of a milling claim, hold ing under the rule of the miners, to oompensa lion for bis improvements before he can be ousted by the United States or any party pur chasing Ihe fee in the claim.

The great features are, that the Stato of Virginia was not recognised as having ever gone nut of thx Union ; that the functions nf the United States Government were simply suspended within the State, and are nnw put in motion again ; that nn vestiges of the Con federate or rebel State Government are recog. nixed, and that Gov.

' The London limei says the end has oomo at last, and tb great war eventually ended by Lee's surrei, icr. The tone of the eonferrnoa hetweeoaGrant and Lee was honorable to both. . The conditions were suoh as weYo or aitgreon inr an overmatched army to accept. The Fed eral Generals have made moves with as moon rapidity aa Napoleon's marshals. The Federal army is entitled to rank among those of the very first military nations. All attempts to establish the Southern Confederacy mast bs abandoned with the defeat of Ihe Sorftherners. Notwithstanding the strong sympathy felt for the South at Liverpool, the Intelligence of Lee's surrender was received with satisfaction, causing an inoreased confidence In commercial ciroles. The London Star thinks recent events have materially altered the state of things from what It was when England recognised the rebels aa belligerents, and says Jeff Davis with bis ear-pet-bag at Danville, Is a very different person in view nf international law from Jefferson Davis at Richmond backed by Lee's army. The United States have an unquestionable right tn dispute the validity of the commissions nf Davis, and tn demand that the war vessels nf the United States shall not be subjected to vexatious restrictions. ' . ; , Ths principal journals of London alike de scribe the intense excitement which tlie latest news created, and alike rive utteranoe to warm eulngioms upnn President Lincoln, and bitter denunciations of the assassination. The seen nn Change) at Liverpnnl will not soon be forgot ten, t he excitement nas seldom, it ever, been exoeeded. Late in the day a request was sent to ins mayor loosll a nobllo meeting to ex press Ihe sorrow and Indignation of the people. The Mayor issued a proclamation for a meet ing in St. George's Hall, on the afternoon of April 27th, to bo adjourned to Ihe evening of the same day, so that the working olasses might likewise have an opportunity of attending. The flags pn the Hail and ether buildings and on ths shipping at Liverpool were at half mast. Tho Liverpool Post nf April 27th is printed with its onluinus In mourning, ' The Timet savst Nothing In history cart ha remembered that has ever drawn forth a more nnnuuuous expression of feeling than this news. Personally President Linooln enjoyed the kind retards of every one In Eugland.

' ' Ths London Telegraph says i From vulrar corruption, from factious hatred, from mean jealousy and nnoharitableness, this great ruler was wholly iree. At last came what teemed to be the fruition of his labors and the reward of bis patience and courage. ' He entered Richmond an a oonqueror, but lannohed node ores of proscription against the South, for the right appeared to bun to be over, and it was not in his Isrgo heart to bear malice against a beaten foe. ; ,'- DirrictiLTiEg or Christian Union. There was a conference of pastors ol various denominations at St. Panl'a Methodist ohnreh in New.Ynrk, one night last week, to see if -a Union nl Protestants to arrest the progress of the Calholio church could be agreed upon. Rev. Dr. Haoon sent an essay that was read bv hia son. He thought Christian onion ona ef the most feasible things in the world. The Con gregational platform was large enough for all creation, and all the sects had tn do was to. come no lo that platform and alt would be on. l ney ouuid not give up Inlant baptism, aad so oould not be Baptists i could not give ap the rignt to oranin their own ministers, thereloro could not accept the Episconaoy t oould not give np tha Independence of the churches, and therefore oould not be Presbyterians. Bat all these could become Coogregntionalisls easily. Dr. Vermilve represented the Presbyterian and Reformed Dutch element. He regarded his sects as holding the middlo ground between tho extremes of Congregational independence and Episcopaov. He stated dielinotly that It waa folly to talk about Christian union while tha Dnptists excluded Christians from their com- muninn table because they were not immersed, and Episcopalians exoluded ministers from their pulpits who were ordained by a Presbytery . Dr. Western spoks lor the Baptists ; be said the basis of Christian union was t " One Lord, one faith, ona bspiism." One lord and ono faith they already had. Now let all bava tno one baptism iu other words become llaptie to and the union would be complete He said it was no part of the duty of Baptists to sacri fice their views on that question, Bishop Cox represented the Episcopalians. The feeblenosa of Ihe Protestant church consisted in Its being in ttjuadt auq not an organised army. Tho only basis of onion was tbe eharch organisa tion known as tliani.pisoopalians. As the Con-grt-galioualists insisted on their notions as tho basis of Christian unions ss Dr. Vsrmilro said that if to he one all must stand on tno Baptist or Episcopal platform " it never wonld bo done "as the Bsptiste refused to yield Im mersion, and ihe Episonpahaos ordination by a bishop the impossibility of a farther unioa than now exists. was demonstrated and tha oonveutien adjourned. i . .r,.,.'u fTTlie performance of the Greek servloa In Trinity Church, New York, has prodoced a lively sectarian skirmish, both ths Presbyteri ans aud Roman Catholics Insisting that the Episcopalians, by iratrratzlng with ths Ureets, have put themselves on the defensive." Tho Catholics say that the mass has aow been eel ehrated in Trinity, and prayers offered to tho Virgin, and Trinity must no looter aonoaaoa ihrse practices as mummery and idolatry. The differences between the Greek and Cath olic churches are Ibeso The Greek eaurok denies ibe authority of ibe Pope, asd rejoota the dogma that Ihe Holy unost prooeeus iron the Son. It rejects purgatory, iodolgenoes, and dispensations, allheogh It admits loterees- sion of the saints.
