IT Is generally known that my Grandfather was the original inventor of these remarkable pilis. He was a scientific man. and a medical practitioner oi tne via school uut becoming alarmed at too mor tality that attended the Illcedinif and Mineral Prac tice, he turned his attention to the study of natureand me pmiosopny ot uisease, us also to tne natural reme dial agents which he found to exist exclusively in the Vegetable Kingdom. In his researches and investi gations, lie 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 an a simple una trutiiiiii doctrine, which, in reiiuctng till diseases to it unit, necessarily established the fast Unit all were to-be treated on the same general prin ciples, viz; by purgation, ' Now the viiind dilllcultv consisled in devising a veg etable compound that would invigorate, purify, and clcanso the blood, correct and regulate all the differ ent secretions, and by purgation discharge the whole muss of morbid matter from the body, without reduc ing the strength. After thirty years of close applica tion, he considered bis object fully accptnplished in the production ot these pills, which have now been before the public One Hundred and Fourteen Years, and it is now (1865) nearly 31 years since Dr. Bran dreih's Vegetable Universul Life Preserving Pills wereiirst presei.ted to the American publicduring which time their superior excellence and virtues have been extensively proclaimed by papers aud pamphlets, and a rapid yearly increase of the sale of them ef fected. To know what will snve life, to know what will restore health, lea knowledge nut to be hidden. 1. therefore, as a man desiring to do my duty faithfully, nave uonea aown some oi tny tniriy-nve years expe rience with Ilrandreth's Pills, which are an effectual assistant of nature, and cause the expulsion of acri monious humors the occasion of every sickness. Ijet us admit that corrupt humors prevent the free circula tion of the blood, that Ilrandreth's Pills take ont these humors, giving heallh for pain, and strength fur weakness. No man is sick save when the principle of corrup. tiongcta the ascendency; Ilrandretu'a Pills aid the Life Principle to reiain the empire bv romovinu' tlie corrupt humors from the body. Many a time 1 have seen life apparently at the last ebb, when these Pills were given, and in a few hunrs the danger was tmst, and health's flood tide gave ttie patient renewed life and vigor. Many are the fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters, thus saved. lliese celebrated fills are composed wholly of me icinal herbs, and do not oontaiu anv mercury or other miuernl, being perfectly hat-mless to the most tender aire or weakest frame; yet sure to search out the cause of sickness, and restore the bualth if tukeu uccording to the directions. Let no one iitiiiirine tlinv are ton wpaIc to iipiir the effect of these Pills, which put no weakness into the rramo, but draws weakness out. A few doses will be get confidence, und then the beuuties of purgation will gradually become nufoldcd to our view, which, en wen with Itrilliilrctli s Vegetntilo Universul fills, is and greatly increase the average of human life. I have now used on mv own person, ami prepared and administered, Uralidreth's Pills for thiriy-ltve years. I believe they are the best purgative iu the world; ana wnn tins ineuirui qimuiv mey iinve nmv a tonic effect. Anil as I am of the firm opinion that inflammation and fevers are caused by corrupted blood not being timely evueuuted, because it regurgi tates, so to speak, over the whole body, and thus cor rupts the sound blood that should nourish all the mem hem. and aeiiinilv destroys and oa ml vies members or oruaus that are unsound; and as 1 know that these Pills have a direct effect to remove all corrupt blood and acrimonious humors from the bixlv in fact, all humors below the vital standard of health; so I should be guilty of a great sin, did I not do all in my power to propagate the use of a medicine which is possessed of properties ao calculated to save and increase the average of huinau lifo. ine public servant, BENJAMIN BRANDRETII.

GrJer iufomi the Slalemnan that he it not tho niter of the article tigned "Fair PJay," and ptplished in the Orcp;onian of May 15th, nd the niter of which we allnil'J in the tiluUmum. of June 10th, its re sorting to the "trick f lesiig the arguinout in defence of the Snletu Woden Company jipan tho prices paid for wool tvo years ago." Mr. G. rays: "I hale not wrlten anything upon the lulijcot natndl at anytime fur. pnblicattnn. I believe H. W, "orbett, prominent raerch anff of this oity (Portlaid), is tho author of "Fair Play." Mr. Corbdt It now aluont from Oregon no bu si tens to N'W York. He would not, if present, hesitate to assert hi views ; and in his absence he reeds no defence of his business intelligence anl integrity," This is the sibstance of Mr. G.'s letter. And, in reply, we say o ate glad to learn he is not the man! and, with -egard to Mr. Cor bett, desire tulsay, .that, Although we were aware of his bong a stockholder in the Salem Company to i limited eent, in view of the ipcciouincBi which, chanoterizes tlie entire paper, we ootjd not conchdo "that ho wai the writer of "Fait PlaJ.' " We consider it well written, and wl ealcnated to deceive ; and naturally concli 'ed it was the work of some gentleman learned in die art of reaching out side of a oase in o ilet to get argument to sup port It. To that urt W! applied the term "pet tifogging." Mr. Grove- Is understood to be a large stockholder in anl director of the Com pany, and we naturally (included he had skill to draw up the paper, aid the interest in the subject to induce him t) use it. If Mr. Cor liett was the writer, as nr. G. says ho believes he was (and we would ave been gl id if Mr. 0. hud stated his reasojs for his belief), Mr. Corbett was doubtless dpeiveil by the director of whom he says he niilo inquiry, and from whom he learned the fihts he states ; and we consider the director ie really responsible party in Salem. We einll not conclude with out further evidence thalMr.C. was the writer, and wo never thought i questioning tho litini ness intelligence or intgrity of Mr; Corbett. It is the business integrty of the Snlem Wool en Company that is in dspute, and its business intelligence, passing evtnts are rapidly illus trating. Our opinion ol the aot we alluded to, is unchanged, the porton of the article we used, truly quoted, and tho deductions there from fairly made, we innsider its suggestion dangerous to the interets of tho wool growing furmers of Oregon, aid the tendency of the whole artiole injurious the prosperity of the State. It is now vircuating through tho ag ricultural press of other States as iin exposi tion of wool growing til Oregon. Tho "Fair Play" article will be piblished in I lie Stain man shortly, and we wil give our opinion of its bearing upon particular and general interests, not caring who fathers it. A. E. Crops PitoapECTs.-Ln. Statesman : Recently I traveled orei Marion, Yamhill and Polk counties, and hare received general news from most of the counties in the valley. In re lation to orops, I wonld Hate that the prospeots in Westcro Oregon, for iniall grain and mend ows, tire somewhat dull. All early sown grain Inst fall, well put in, will yield fair orops Late sown full grain, tnd late sown spring grain will generally bn very light. The cold wentipr ail spring, and sow the revere Urnntli, is the cauio of this fni!ore of onr crops in West ern Oregon. The cut worms and oilier insects have nenrly swept out all garden vegetables. In some seotioni. these worms, after destrovine he gardens, pitched into the oats. Potatoes will be about half crop in Western Oregon. bad. Meadows n'f. o failure, and vines look acre of hay, on an average.' 'S lin'(nnsl''rni. oiiir, there mar be enough raised iu Western Oregon for homo consumption. The froat on the28tli of May was general in this valley. I ho fruit orop is generally good in the Wil lamette valley this season. l'ACIFIU. Insf.cts, Crickets, and Worms. Our ex changes are record i ng the devastations of the minor plagues." lhe ban Jose Mercury says that a little green insect, about tho size of a flea, is making serious devastations in some sections of California. It feeds on the leave rf beets, cabbnges, strawberries, turnip, and in lact nearly every green plant. Rose bushes are completely covered with this pest. They are as numerous as the lice of Egypt, aud twice ns nienn. The Mountaineer says that the bills in tl vioinity of the Dalles are literary covered with crickets. It is stated that they can bo kept ont of fields by digging trenches, iuln nhivh they full and are unable to get ont. They nei ther jump nor tly, and seem to lie aettctent 111 power or locomotion. On the creeks, where they are tho most troublesome, the. farmers have turned their hogs in among them, and in this way baro measurably sneoeaaed in milling their lielus ol the pest, in KliKllut Valley they are purlieu In rly bad, and in some cases the settlers have Inst nil tli'-ir growing crops. 1 lie Sentinel snvs that between the Lalipoota mountains and Rogue river, a worm, similnrto the caterpillar, is making terriblo havno on the eaves ol ash timber, and 111 some instances in Umpiina valley, they have attacked the leaves of apple trees. This w.irtn travel on the ground en mane, from one nsh tree to another. stripping every vestige of h aves ns it goes. the same kind ol insect has made lis tip pear ance near Salem, its depredations being con fined mainly to maple trees. Hayb You Firrr Dollars to Spaiib f Reader, have vnu fifty dollars to spare, or I hundred, or a thousand ? If so, don't delay to invest it in the popular 7-30 U. 8. Loan. It is to men ol small means that the . annual Government now offer this admirably safe and profitable opportunity for investment, and not to large capitalists only. On the Pactfio coast there are still vast nnra bars of men who hoard gold coin or dust, in sums varying from fifty dollars to thousands. In this way a very large amount oi mean lies idle from year to year. Hidden away, buried in the earth, or locked op with care it i a constant object of anxiety to its owners, and a source of temptation to lawless men. The owners eipeol to viait the Eastern Slates at some future time or they wait only to increase tluir store before changing their social or bust ness relations : aud they are saving their fuuda for that noeasinn. In the meantime their sold lies inactive producing nothing but uneasiness and anxiety because they nave do ready and safe means of investment, upon securities that mar be relied upon not to fail tbem. The Government ol the L tilted Slates now rising regenerated and purified from the bloody baptism of civil war offers to this capital profitable employment, npnn security that Is ample and absolute. 1 lie 1JM bund are sou scribed for at par (and accrued inlereet) iu greenback. Hunoe, as they will be paid in gold at maturity, on ine resumption 01 specie payment after th close of tb war. the wnn who invest in tbem will make hrt a profit eqnal to the premium on gold at date of bis subscription. For instance if gold is worth I.V) per cent, in paper money, each 'M rold will par for Ta of the 7 30 IiomU the dar is not far distant when they will tell at th latter rat in gold, even if they ate oat at a bandsoni premium.

Rut, stay half an hour of any day, and plaoe yourself In the room adjoining the Secretary's office. You will find it filled with anxious faces, waiting their turn to bo oalled in. A bcli rings ; one by one these people aro escorted by a page to tho Secretary. Still their plaoes are filled. The room it as full as when you entered.

Oft en In order to relieve parties in waiting of the delay of form, he kindly leaves bis own room and oooupios a standing desk in thaante-rnom among the crowd, and there, without formality and with no display, you will tee a sober, al most melancholy face, a thoughtful, heary brow, a frame once massive, now half subdued with care and weariness. He dispatohes onses ith an ense that is wonderful. Tlieso stran gers, men, women, young and old, all classcss aro heard and attended to. No loud voice of authority, a scaroely audible tone is answering, ordering, qtiestioning.diutnting, explaiiing.con snling, and censuring, all the long weary days of, these dreadful times. Rut this is a mcru fragment of tho toil ind ent to that situation. It passes description. omo day, when the sky hns oleared and ob jects are seen in true light, thero will comp up, in this country, a gratitude for the eminent, unobtrusive, and immeasurable labor of Stim uli, not surpassed by that which is duo to any ivitig man.
