VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL FILLS.
IT I" generally known that my Grandfather waa the
nriirinal inventor of these remarkable nilla.
He waa a ac-ientiflr mun, and a medical practitioner
of tin Old School. Hut becoming alarineii at tne nior
mliiv that attended the llleedimr and Mineral Prao-
tire, he turned hie attention to the atndy of uiitiireand
the nhiloaonhv of diaeaae. na alao to the natural reme
dial uitcuta which he found to exiat exrlnaively in tlie
Vairetable K iniiloin. In hia rviutarcliea and Inveati
XHlioiin, he Iwcame fully tutiafied that the life waa in
the blood: that br whatever name diseases were dis-
tinirnished, impurity of the blood waa the aonrce of
all a simple ana traintui uocinne, w u, in renurniK
all diseases to a nnlt, necessarily established the fact
that all were to be treated on the same general prin
ciples, via: by pnriraiion.
vu ti... un,a ,liHlciiltv nonsisted in devisiuir a veir-
tahla cnnioouud that would iuviirorate, purity, and
lutMi the IiIcmmI. correct and resolute all the differ
eat secretions, and by purgation discharge the whole
mass of morbid matter from the body, without reduc
ing the etreuiflli. After thirty years of clone applica
tion ha p,nHul,rfJ his obiect fnllv accolunlisbed in
the production W these pills, which have now been
before the public One Hundred and fourteen Yean,
ami ii ! nnw llHi'iSI nearlv 31 veara since Dr. llrun-
dreth's Vegoluhle Universal Lite Preserving Pills
were Brat presented to the Amerirau public during
which time their superior excellence and virtues have
been extensively procunmeo uy papers anu iainpuieu,
and a rapid yearly increase of the sale of them ef-
To know what will save life, to know what will
restore health, is a knowledge not to be hidden, I,
therefore, as a man desiring to do my duty faitltlully
liBVMnntUMl Anwn mms of mv thirtv-tive veers' exne
rience with llrandreth's Pills, which are 'an enecionl
assistant of nature, and cause the expulsion of acn
momotia humors the occasion of every sickness. Iet
n. Milmit that eornint humors prevent the free rircule
tiouof the blood, that Ilnuidrelh's Pills lake onl
these bnmora, giving health for pain, and strength for
weakness.
Nn man la sick save when the Drinciule of corrnp
tlnngcis the ascendency; llrandreth's Pills aid the
Life Principle to regain ihcempiso by reiuovimr the
corrupt buuiors from the body, ilunyv time 1 have
seen life anparentlr at the last ebb. when these Pills
wkis invent, and in a Tmw honra the duliuer was lust
and health's Hood lide aave the patient renewed life
and vimir. Munv are the fatbera, mothers, eons, and
i)HiiifliU,ra. thus saved.
These celebrated Pills are composed wholly of me
dicinal herbs, and do nut oontuiii any mercury or other
mineral, being perfectly harmless to the most teuder
aae or weakest frame; yet sure to search out the canae
of sicklies, and restore the health if takeu according
lo the directions.
Let no one imairine they are loo weak to bear the
effect of three Pills, which put no weakness inUi the
frame, bnt draws weakness out. A few doses will be
get conHilence, aud then thebinlies of purgation will
unlMll krnms nnfnhlrd to onr view, which, en
lured with Hrandreth's Veiretable Ciiiversal l"ills, is
able to core every disease where the onraus are sound,
mnA irwrMlM thf. BV.rutfe of humail life.
I have now used on my own person, ami prepared
and administered, Uraiidrcih'a Pilla for thirty-five
years. 1 Iwlieve thev are the best pmyative in the
world: and with this' medical quality they have also
- a tonic effect Anil as I am of the lino opiuion that
Inflammation and fevers are caused by eorruptad

so to speak, over the whole hotly, and thus cor

Pills have a direct elfect to remove all corrupt blood

OREGON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18.1865;
THE 8NAKK IXDUJf TREATY SPEECH E8
OS BOTH Slims. ETC..
We clip the following interesting ncoonnt of
the making of the treaty with Ibe Snake In
dian, from the Fort Klamath correspondence
of the 8aoramento Union. It is well worth
reading, as showing up the Indian clinrncter,
and the proceedings and trouble of making a
treaty with them : 1 ; .
The moraine of the treaty dawned aa the
day alway are at thii glorious season of the
rear. And at nine A. If. the assembly oonvened.
"The Snakes seated in two semi circles, flunked
by the Warm Springs Indian and the Klam
ath; seats of flour SRcks were arranged for
the gentlemen nnder a shade, and snldit-rs with
out arms stood in the hack-ground aa specta
tors. All beiife prepared, Superintendent
Huntimrton spoke in English ; Doctor MoKay,
assisted by his brother, Doonald McKay, trans
lated into Chinook jargon to a Klamath, br
whom it was rendered into Snake; and though
it may appear somewhat oirooitous, yet the
rendering appear prneciiy complete ana won
understood. Tbe following vs a literal transla
tion of the speeches on either side, from ver
batim notes taken at the tiuro t '
Huntington--"I wish to speak with a straight
tongue, and expect yon to dn the same. I wish
to make known lo yoo what yonr Great Father
at Washington desires, Your people have been
at war with as for a long time eight snows
and are yet at war. In that period yoo have
killed many whites and friendly Indians, nutl
have taken ninny horse and much nf their
property ; the whites have done the same to
yoo. Wo are all weary of this, and, therefore,
havo Invited yoo here In put a stnp to this.
Your hearts most tell you by this time that ynu
are not powerful to curry nn the war witli the
whites. Bee bow few yoo are. I sent for you
a long time ago ; yet not thirty of yea came,
and I am told yon have not over 200 or 300 in
your band. Tho white people are innuinera
hie.- They arc more numerous than the grit
on the meadow (taking up a handful). Yoo
mar kill a few hundred whites, hut there are
till as many left as before. It is like the grass
on this prairie. Hum it np. but it is not gone,
for it springs np fresh and plentiful as ever ; so
It is with the " Bostons;" kill them off and
others will take their place. - Now, what bnve
you got to say ? I am willing to listen to yon.''
A silenco ensued for some minutes, when
Pah-ni-tte threw down a paper oo tho grass.
It was the pass of safe conduct Hnnting'oo bad
sent the year before. ' Ho then said t
- Last year when you were here yon sent me
this paper. It did did not reach mo nor my
people until after you had reached my camp,
captured and killed my people, but I have kept
your paper to my heart. I remained in the
mountains, but I heard of your coming, and
woold like to have seen yon. I have nothing
bad to say t I would like to talk good words to
you. I wish to say gnnd. Ynu see my fnue.
and in my faco ynu tee my heart. I um not
afraid of you; though you have so many sol
diers along with yon. I wish good. When
yoo return, Great Chief, tell your people if I
have snoken evil. I sneak tha truth. I wish
yon to do the tame; 1 with no other kind nf
talk. It is as if each of ns put down a stake
yonr stake and my stake yonr talk and my
talk let it be lasting let none tear them np.
You havo talked to the Chief of the Klamaths
about friendship, and I have heard it all and
taking it to heart. I have not much to any but
about one thing, and that is my hoy. nutl I wish
to speak- strong nliont it. ' For tlio present I
am dune." - .. - - -
Huntington "Very goods I will now ex
plain to you what is expected of yon by your
Father at Washington, and what he will do fur
yoot
"1. I wish to boy yonr lands and all your
ooontry.
" 2. I wish yon to remove to this reserva
tion and remain here.
" 3. Whatever prioners or slaves nf whites
or friendly Indians yoo have got, you must do
liver np to me; and if either the whites or
friendly Indians have got any of yonr people,
thev shall be delivered on to ron.
"4. After yaxt remove to this reservation,
there will be an agent appnintrd, nnder whose
authority and protection you will be placed.
" 5. You are to stop all war upon the whites
or InenUly Indians, and all plundering wlmtro
ever. If, after coining here, ynu commit any
depredations whatsoever, on persons or prop
erty, yoo will be arrested by the soldier and
punished. If auy white man ouiiiinia nny
depredations against ynu, be will be eiiuallv
punished. In case any bad white man does
oommit injury anon yon, yoo are not to attempt
to take the law into yon own hands, but to go
to your agent and lay formal complaint before
him ; ami in the tame war, II you commit any
injury to the whites, ther will reek rentirntion
through the agent. If nny of yonr people are
injured or killed, then the ullcntler will be pnn
ished ; and if any of your property is stolen,
we guarantee that It shall lie returned. Last
year you are awnre that I made a treaty with
the Klamath, providing certain privileges for

Yoo have a blaoksmith and gunsmith, tinsmith,
oarpenter and wagonmaker, and in addition,

who will teach yon bow to cnllivnte the so
There will also be a school, and a person who

and merriment ensued ; and long after I re

an assessment roll before them, and the depre
ciation of the ourrency is nnnght to them. An
independent race are these roving vagabonds,
neither troubled with Inoome tax nor with

though in tho good old times they had a hered
itary limited monarchy, with a nrnnd tinge of
the tloutrlne that might Is riglit, yet sinoe the

bitter ones, over the divisibn of their plunder,
and certain infidelities of their snoses is a sub
ject nf continual heart-burnings ; but they are,
unlortunately, as the divorce courts show, tiot
one In this. Chivalry ther are, forsooth, as
Cliivs go nnw-a-days dirty, ragged and not
over lionoruble, like certain brothers over the
Rocky Mountains ; and, moreover rather given

these latter days).
An Indian comes down to the river where I
am drinking and asks me to poor a little water
among hit cup of pnnd-lilly seeds. Ilo stirs it
up Willi his finger, and, never inuring from the
river side, finishes his frugal supper, remark
ing as lie washed it down with a drink ol water:
Urns klonsh niuok-a-niuck." Mighty good
grub! Easy, lousy, improvident, happy set of
vagabonds!
TUB WIND UP. - '
Bright and early were they together next
morning to receivo their presents of blankets,
shirts, trowsers, calico, beads and butcher-
nires, with tlie inevitable tobacco added in.
nntiiiglnii gave them a few parting words of
advice and caution, and told Pah ni we that he
ished a messenger sent to Hnllek mid We-
wnw-we-wa, the other two Snake chiefs who
ere still at war, so coma into a trenty, and if
they came to tlie Fort none should harm them,
and that on the soldier ohief then sending word
to tlieui, he should travel here again to meet
them. I'ali-ul-nn then replied t " As soon as
get back to my lodges, 1 will send a messen
ger to Hnllek and We-wnw-wewa, telling
them how good yon have treated ino, and to
show yoo my heart i now gtuid to yoo and Ihe
warm Springs Indians. 1 will only tiike two
suns to reach We-wow-we-wa and llallek's
camps. They are by the Iron Mountain, near
Harney's Lake, and in thot vicinity. ' Over
their mind and mine was the same impression,
and nti hearing fmiu me tfley will dime right
in and make peace. I would liko a, pass tor
my messenger, lu case he should meet whites,
and also one for Hnllek and We-wow-we-wa.

hero or at Crooked river." , ,i
Mr. Huntington "I will gire you a pass to
0 there and bitoll for half a moon. After that
time it will ho worthless, and roil will he shot
own like a wolf on the prairie. I will meet
them either here or on Crooked river. Let
llieiu stty which place."
He was then dismissed. p,oxt cutns old
Skontinn, chief of Mndno, once a noted enemy
of the whites, but as fust a friend. The first
year he went against the whites he thought In
kill oil all the Dosloti tribe ; the second year
he thought ho would scarcely do it. but the
third year tho whites were more numerous than
ever, and ho had lost fifty nf his warriors and
so hit stoiipod. His tribe, htm ever, though at
leucu witli the whites, wish still lo keep their
amis ami live as they used lo do, and on no-
count of Skontinn Inking an opposite view they
have deposed tlie old man. An Indian from
hi tribe came iulo Ihe fort Ihe other day. The
junior risked turn to stop until Huntington ar
rived and he should have fund, hut he replied :
Mn ! I am friendly to the white men ; bat
wish none of their ptesents and none of their
total. My horse Is wearr, 1 am poor, and I
havo tasted nothing since yesterday, but I want
nothing from you." And b rndeoif and bought
fond I torn the Kliimath. the old mail was
firm and intelligent looking, nnj spoke very
horny, lie said Ho came, thongu lie came
though he cam alone t "When yna first came
here yoa took mo by the bund quite different
from the other white men, and since then I
have built you a lodge in my heart, and your
advice lint taken rout nrm as a stake In the
ground." Huntington promised that he should
le supported In Ills nlnee against all Usurpers.
Le-lnke, chief of Klamaths, then made a king
and dreary speech, f)oii:pliniiig that he eoald
not govern his people, that they would not obey
him, and so on, asking Huntington to make
laws for this and laws for lhat. Huntington
gnve him some advice and a sound raking for
the tragedy committed on the Snakes, and a
warning in folure. Le-luke, their chief, al
wars preaches peso. He is not tho war ohie
and is altogether a mild sort of a cost, renuir
mg continually his liacK to he stiffened to tie
toy chief at all. His speech was foil ol growl
ing against the whites, fear of whisky being
brought into bis tribe, and altogether was full
ol complaint, and much too long and too oo
interesting to giro in foil. Then were the
present distributed by tbe ohief, when a Jolly
row eusned. It was confined to wotds Just
then, but one long Individual, standing on III
bock of a horse, th better to command th
crowd, shrieked out nt the top of his mice that

plenty of powder and balls at bc.tne, and h
aoold see if be was to be treated thus. 11

LETTER FROM MEXICO.
State op Durahoo. Mexico, ?
, July 20, 1805..
Dear Sirs In answer to many Inquiries
about the soil, climate, products, people and
politics or Mexico, I must say mat n me coun
try was Indian Territnry. instead of what it is,
It woold hold out the greatest inducements for
emigration ol any place Ip Norm America.
n..- i f. i .i i..t..i.:.
nut. as tne majority oi me niiiniiiiniiis urn mr
thing hut a mongrel race of half-olvillxed In
dians and degraded Spaniards, tannht by the
priesthood and treasure seekers, and fallen back
to worse than barbarism, demoralized by fifty
five years nf revolution. Every vioe of all the
world has been p radioed in Mexico; and
thieving and robbery it the strong game. Ran
dolph knew what he was saying when he de
scribed the Mexicans at a raoe of "blanketed
thieves and hooded "wh s." , ,
God seems to have eursed both them and
their anttle. Their horses, cattle, hogs, dogs,
donkeys, sheep and goats, are all lean and
stunted, Their crops are always negleoted;
though the "Saint days" are ttriotly observed.
' Mexioo, as It is now. It ono of the most over
rated countries In the world. ' The same may
lie said of all her mines, haciendas and ' ran
cho. Aside from the incumbrances of the
people, and their hail laws aod regulations, the
country offers many inducements and advan
tages. It has all climates known to man t all
kinds of soil, rich' and poor t and the poorest
soil produces a valuable crop konwn as the
mngney plant. In ilillurent parts of the coon
trp the very best coffee, sugar, lohacoo, cocoa,
oorn, wheat, beans, oats, barley, and all kinds
nf vegetables the year rnnnd hy irrigation, may
be raised. Some are planting eoru now, and
others are sending roasting ears to market. Of
the fruits, apples, pears (seedlings), pome
grnnates, peaohes, and quinces seem to do
well. In some parts nf the country, oranges,
lemons, and bananas are cultivated. . A plant
is cultivated from which they get the fiber for
ropes, cords, gnni'iy saoks, &o., differing from
flax. '
Books are seldom seen. This Stnte (Duron
go) once had three newspapers, now it sop
ports but one, called tlie "Governor'" paper.
All the professional pursuits are but poorly sus
tained, and the arts and soiences are on the
wane,
To onr detrimont, there has been some un
principled Ainerioans through hero, and every
misdeed of their is treasured up against us
(Indian like), notwithstanding the people make
professions ol esteem and good will. We fre
quently hear of the murder and assassination
nf strangers, lint a few days ago one of my
friends was murdered on tho highway far bit
oiotnes, and one ol hit murderers was alter

THIS ASSASSINS AT THE DRT T0RTF6AS.
Tin U. S. steamer Florida, which Teasel con
Toyed tha conspiratora. Dr. Mndd, Arnold, Spang,
ler, and O'Laughlin, to th Dry Tortugas-e-tli
place designated for their imprisonment, for com
plicity in the assassination of President Lincoln
returned to New York en th let of Anguat, bar
ing left th Dry Tortaga on tha 2(lth July, after
delivering the prisoners safely Into th hands of
the authorities of Fort Jefferson. Th following'
account of the trip and situation of affairs at th
place of Imprisonment, Is dorived from the officers
of th Florida) i " i Ki
Wheu Ihe prisoners ware put npea ths Flewkla
Ihey were totally ignorant of their dsatinatioa,
but supposed ther were to be taken to Albany for
incarceration, and ther were dly disappointed
when informed that their prison-honae would.be
upon tho arid wastes of the Dry Tortiigas, of
which they had undoubtedly heardnough to in
spire them with a desire to b sent almost any
where else upon tlie footstool.. But,, on the SJTilh
ot July, wiiou they reached tne isians, ther were
rather agreeably surprised to find that all the hor
rors they bad imagined of the spot had beta fig
ments ot tne Drain, ana nu noexlstence In reality.
The Tortugaa, an island of some 13 acres id ex
tent, has no particular elaims to.present a a de
lightful plica of protracted rosidonce, being dry,
barren, and sand-covered, with but few tro.s and
less green grass aad vegetation i but it Is not Ha
des exaetly, nor is it Pandemonium i and tk con
spirators may congratulate themselves that they
nave me ireoaom or it barren heaths and arid
sand-banks, rather than Uia close, dreary tails of
tne Aioany roniieiiuary, wnar tno par sunlight
aoldom ponetratos, and where their tottered limbs
would chafe and their hsart beat against Only
four hsrd, naked, and cheerless stone walls. Fort
.Jefferson, an inclosur of about seven acre of th
island, will be their plaeo of confinement daring
the greater part of tlie timet bnt at interval the
lnmatos, mostly political prisoners, have the free
dom uf tha entire surface af the island. There
are at present faV) of these criminal confined at ,
the iorlugas, who are well treated, and whrvolh
er stories to the contrary notwithstanding, do not
wear the ball and chain, excepting as a punish
ment for extreme Infraction of the military law
governing the fort aud the neighborhood. There.
wore nut nine persons inmates ot the hospital
when the Florida left, which Is pretty convincing
evidence that ths prisoners are properly fed and -
nave tha necessary medical and surgical attend
ance. Ibis is as inueh ns any of the men thsre
confined oould expect at the hand of the Govern
ment, and sums would any far mora than they to-
litany unserve.
The 1 10th regiment N. Y. Volunteers Is doing
guard duty at Fort Jefferson, Col. Hamilton' of
that command being thu commandant in charge
of the island.
Dr. Mudd. who is said to have many auallRea-
tions, natural aud acquired, for the uotition and
it labor, has been placed in tha hospital, where
he will hold the post of an assistant surgeon, giv
ing hi mind and body something to do, which
will aid in passing the tedious hours of his im
prisonment, rendering life something more than
mere existence. He will be making nimself use
ful tu a class with whom his aynipathies, which
first lad him into difficulty, hav much in com
mon, and can read, practice his' profession, and
pernnp ntaao nimseii oeuerB, in tun, Mat a i

Virginia, before h ever saw or heard of J. Wilkes
Uooth or th Southern Confederacy.
Arnold, who has probably had some experience
in tli Hue, Is to b ntada a clwrk among tb pris
oners, and will also derive profit from employment
and relief from the pang of outraged oontcienee.
8psnglcr Is to return to his trade as a carpenter,
ther being plenty of labor ef that character to
be performed oo Uie Island, ia the way of repair
and erecting new additions to tb buildings eon
nested with th fort. He it reported at feeling
more cheerful, since learning that be le to have
pur air lo breath and plenty to eat, with accom
panying manual employment.
' cixaughlln will also find some business ba the
Island suited to his mental and physical status,
though it may aot b aa congenial a lhat usually
pursued by lb member of th cores Wraasafi,
whou at liberty, enjoying the favor of a discrim
inating or non-discriminating public, aod playing
their part oatore tne toot ngnt or a popular taea

very well, aud is thankful that be was not leut la

Waoiiinoton, Ang. 3d, (Ion. Dodd, who had
charge of the aasaasius, aud who delivered them
to the prison-keeper at the Dry Tortugaa, made
his report to-day lo tbe War Department . ,
(Jen. Dodd reports that on tb trip Dr. Mndd
acknowledged to Cant. Iludd, Gen. Dodd, and
others, that he knew llooih when he cams lo bis
house with Harrold on the morning after the as
sassination, but was afraid t tell of his having
been there, fearing the life of himself and family
would oe endangered tlierotiy. lie Knew thai
llooih would nvr be taken alive. He -also ac
knowledged that be bad been acquainted with
lliHith for some time, and that be was with Booth
at the National Hotel en the evening referred to
by Welchmant that be met Booth in th street,
and Booth said h wanted him (Mudd) to Intro
duce him to John Surrattf that Ihey started op
Seventh street, on their way to Mrs. Sutrratt's
house, and on their way Uiey met John tiurrett
nnd Weichman, and returned to Booth's room at
th National, wher he ami John Snrratl had
some conversation ef a private character. H
aaid that th Military Commission, in hj case,
had done their duty, and, as far aa they were con
cerned, the sentence ill hi cam was jost, bet
some of th witnewe had sworn falsely aad ma
liciously. ;
O'Laughlin acknowledged that tha Court had
done iu duty, and said lhat he was in Ihe plot to
capture the President, but that after th Insffeet
ual attempt in March, when th party hoped la
rapture th coach containing th President, he
thought that th entire project waa given op, and
il was as far as be wa concerned. Ha denies
positively (list he had part or knowledge in the
plot to assassinate tho President, Uen. (Irani, or
any on els. ,
Arnold made about the same statement as lit
did before the trial thai he wa in th plot le
capture, but aot In assassinate i that that had
failed, and b considered himself out ef it, and
never knew anything about tbe assassination,
which he thonght wa gotten np by Booth only a
few hour before executing it. II thought the
I'oort could not have don otherwise than it did.
He expressed his sorrow that b had been led Inte
tb plot loeaptnr by llooth and other, and ax
pressed himself thankful that lb punishment waa
no worse.
Bpanglrr, on tha voyage, expressed so as Impa
tlsiic at hi own stupidity in oot having recol
lected whilson trltl a eircumstanc In eonuectioa
with Booth's scape from th stage that would
hav told tMierially to his (Mpangler's) advan
tage, bom f tbe testimony want to show that
Spaugler had slammed th duor to after Booth's
xit, in a way to hinder Immediau pursuit
Spatigler says It quite escaped hi rtroilectiM

had dull right, and if they gave him plenty ef
work and plenty to eat h wa satisfied. Al
though be wa not guilty, aod knew nothing of
Booth's intenUnns, he says that h did say to
Booth "I will do all I can for you," but that It
wa In reference le selling his (Booth's) horse and
boggy, and that il waa three day Mure lha e
