VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL PILLS.
IT in Konemlly known-thut my Omndfatlier was the
nriKiiml iuvuiilnr of I he bo ri'iimrkubln pills,
lie whk it m MMttilit' in tin, unit a mcdicul practitioner
of the Old School. Hut l.ttcouiiiitf alurmiMi at the mor
tality that aUetiiled the IJIimxImik and Mineral Pitte-
tice, he turned Inn altuiitioti to the stmly ot imtnreatul
the pliihmopliv of riitM'.ihu. an a! no to the nuliirul reme
dial aonlH wliiidi he Inund to exim uxcliiHively in the
Vesttuhle Kinyd'iin. In lii ruHeart'lion and invewli
iiiiinim, he hecamo fully fmtinlicd that the life was in
the blond; that by whatever name ditteaties were dm
tiiininlifd, iinptirity of llie blood wan the nource of
all a Bimpii! and truthful dot-trine, wlii.li, in rednciiiLr
all diHeaHUH to li unit, ueceHmirily eHtahlished the fact
that all were to be treated on the name general prin
ciple, vi.i by purgation.
Now the jrriu.il dilHculty pniiHialeil in tic vising a veg
etable compoiitid that would invigorate, pniify, and
dentine the bloud, correct and regulate alt the differ
ent ttecretiond. and by pnrKatimi dicliarK the whole
umwi of morbid matter from the body, without reduc
ing the RtrenKili. After thirty years' of clows applica
tion, he con ni k-red lii object fully accomplished in
tlie production ol theite pill, which have now been
before the public One Hundred and Koarleen Yeari,
and it in now 0HM nearly HI years since Dr. Urtin
druih's Vetfeluble Universal Life Preservlnu; Fills
wore II ret preser.ted Ut the American public during
which time their superior excellence und virtues have
been t-xtiMitrively proclaimed by papers and pamphlets,
and a rapid yearly increaio of the sale of theia ef
fected. To know what will savs life, to know what will
restore health, in a knowledge tint to be hidden, I,
therefore, as a man deHirinv to do my duty faithfully,
have dotted down some of my thirty-live years' expe
rience with Hrnndrcth's Pills, which are an el led mil
aHHiHtant of nature, and camte the expulsion of acri
monious (minors the occasion of every sickness. Let
us admit thut corrupt humors prevent the free circula
tion of the blood, thut Hrandreth's Pills take out
thefte humors, giving health for pain, and strength for
weakness.
No man is sick save when the principle of corrup
tion gets the ascendency; llrnndrelh'e Pills aid the
Life Principle to regain the empire by removing the
corrupt humors from the body. Muny a time 1 have
seen life apparently at the hut ebb, when these Pills
were given, and in a few hours the danger was past,
and health's flood tide gave the patient renewed life
and vigor. Many are the fathers, mothers, sons, and
daughters, thus saved.
These celebrated rills are composed wholly of me
dicinal herbs, and do not oontain uuy mercury or other
mineral, being perfectly harmless to the most tender
age or weakest frame; yet sure to search out the cause
of sicknens, and restore the health if taken according
to the directions.
Let no one imnirino they are too weak to bear the
effect of these Pills, whiclt put no weakness into. the
frame, but draws weakness out. A few doses will be
get confidence, and then the beautieB of purgution will
graduullv become unfolded to our view, which, en
forced with Urandrcth's Vegetable Univeisnl Pills, is
able to cure every dinei.se where the organs are sound,
and greatly increase the average of human lite.
1 have now ned ou mv own person, and prepared
and udmiuintered, Hrandreth's Pills for thiriy-five
years. I believe they are the best purgative in the
world; and with this medical quality they have also
a tonic effect. Ami as I am of the firm opinion that
inflammation and fevers tire caused by corrupted
blood not being timely evacuated, becaune it regurgi
tates, so to Hpcak. over the whole body, and thus cor
rupts the sound blood that ohould nourish all the mem
bers, and actually destroys and puralyzes members or
ortruus that are .iiiwhiikI. and as 1 know thut thene
Pills have a direct ellect to remove all corrupt blood
and acrimonious humors from the body iu fuct, ul)
humors below the vital standard of health; so I should
be guilty of a (treat sin, did I not do all in my power
to propumite the ue of a medicine which is ptwteiumd
of properties so calculated to save and increase the
average of human life.

As set for t h in a rormer disnntoh, the Hon.
Ovorgo II. Will'mmi, Senator of the Uniti-d
Htntt'8 Irom Urcgim. and a member ol the I'om
mittco on tbo Iieconstructinn of the Soutlicrn

( oster, arrived in this city last Saturday even
ing, on a tour oi onservntion bearing on the iu
telligent discharge of the duties of the Com
mittee ol which he u a memher. Up I" this
wiiting (Christmas nighl), Senator Willinina
has devoted his whols time to an investignllon
of the present actual eiinililion and political nnd
social prospects of the Southern people, us
viewed from tlio ilnnil-point ol this the most
important capital of the late so-styled Confed
erate States, heeaupe first in position, fiist in
wealth, first in intelligence, and equal to each
and ollln the varieil phases of disloyally. The

nfnt neither tlio Lk'tiU'nunt General command
ing the armies, nor Mnlor General and corro
spondent Shurr, in their recent reports to the
President of the United Sinter, touched upon
the condition of affaits in Virginia relative to
reconstruction the former expressly ignoring
any conference with the people of this Stale,
and the latter asserting in his report that lie
was directed not tn dual will) Virginia upon I lie
unject of ins mission.
ItKSULTS OF II1S OIlSKItVATIONS ON VIKCIINIA
LOYALTY.
While it may not he ooiifidonlly asserted that
Richmond opinion in respect to-the natrre,
lirendlh nnd scope of the loyally of Virginia
heurs t lie snmo relation to the Stale at lurjje as
the tail of the lion (camla est index tioni) does
to Ihnt Hiigust monarch of the forest up when
he is inflamed and dowa when lie is siilnlneil
nevertheless it may he safely regarded as the
reliable test of nil those who have held public
position in the National or State Councils, the
pulpit, the bar, and at tlio more restricted till nr
of medicine nnd belle Ultrts. fur the last sixty
years, as well as of those (a very bilge and in
iluential class) who adhere tn the convictions of
these their representative men. Senator Wil
liams has learned, first, that Virginia loyally,
as represnled in both Ipiuses of the State Leg
islature nnd in the socill circles of Kichtiiiiiid,
is well nigh au nbsubito myth. His observa
tions further teach him that the people have au
enlarged personal resppct for President John
son, but nre utterly devoid of respect for und
tolerance of tlijp United Slates Government ;
hence this personal regird fur the President by
reason of Ins liberal con r so towards them, they
look upon as the very eialtntion of loyalty. He
finds, and snv that they cling with a tenacious
iniiuness, unexampled in nil instiry, under the
circumstances of most disastrous defeat and seo-
tinnnl humiliulion, to the exploded fallacies of
the Confederacy us a benevolent system of gov
ernment, and cherish with a righteous rever
ence the lending spirits, both dead and alive,
in the late giant attempt against the integrity
of the Union, which was completely foiled by
the prowess ot the rederal nrms in April Inst.
He also finds the popular sentiment of the
Siiuthei a people, as such, indubitably and over
wheliuingly opposed to the Congress or the
United States and nil its functional and legis
lative tendencies, owing to the persistent refus
al tu admit the Southern delegates to their
seats in either homo ol Washington. They
nnd soLbiSvritly counted, liy vmuu in the coun
sels of (xrlnin oveiweotiing conservatives at
the North, In enter the councils of the nation,
and, in conjunction with the conservatives, rule
with arbitrary and insolent power, as of old
thus realizing, by a master stroke of Confeiler
ate policy, their balmiest dreams of the opu
lent, overbearing, landed and slave-driving an
tocrat of other days.
THE KEOItO ISSUE.
Implicitly supposiig, from various represent
ations of the bnlelul Virginia press, aided In
the suggestions of certain men at the North of
had eminence, that the negioes were to rise
tn duy. be bud chosen that his first Seniilorinl
Christmas should lie passed here iu Richmond
treason's very charnel house, wherein it is
alive only liy the fact or Its animated ilecoinno
silir-u and leurn for himself the whole extent
of the negro's olTenre. lie is convinced Ihnt
a more quiet orderly and well disposed cilieii
than the freed man, in this fallen capital, does
not dwell iu all the plrnsuiit places of the South
In fine, Mr. Williaini concludes that Ihu great
uliieet of tlio war, next tn the abolition of slav
ery. ha been accomplished in the success that
is now established of labor over a lauded and
rullen oligarchy, and thut this combined result
Ibe extirpation of slavery and the dignifying
of labor is tbo end, through God, triumphant
ly attained in the great struggle now loiever
solved.
Senator Williams returns tn Ibe federal cap
ital quite prepared l conscientiously enunei
ale these views and these convictions to his
brethren of the Senate mid of the committee
he represents. IK has bad interviews with a
large number of distinguished people both Hi
and out of power here, nnd litis not failed to
religiously beur and note the well-digested
opinions of the clio.es representatives of the
musses, both black and white.
Til K FUEE LABOR SYSTEM AT THE KOI Til.
Tim opinion of General Howard that "free
labor, notwithstanding Ibe sudden emancipa
tion and the Ihoosandsof causes incident tn the
war. w ill eventually prove successful." is the
result of many mouths of communication with
and close observation of the laboring class ol
the South. Such an opinion, coming from so
reliable a source, will do ninch to dissipate the
erroneous views entertained iu some quarters
as to Ibe future ol Win industrial interests in
Ihiit section. Thse views have been mostly
engendered by the malicious ami false state
ments, circulated from partisan motives, con
cerning the inherent indolence of the negro.
e have been unable tu ascertain w hat there
parties who have engaged so industriously in
this rather disgraceful crnsade agaiu.t the la
boring class nf the South expect to raiu hv
their efforts. If Ihey presume that Ihey ire
acting as the champion of the Interests of tho
South, their zeal is not according to knowledcc:
for Dolhing can be plainer than that any policy
which places Hie employer aud the laborer in
antagonistic relations to each other would be
inimical to the Interest ol both. Whatever
effort is made, therefore, to harmonize the dis
organized condition of affairs between the freed
man and his late master. Ilia interest of bolh
parties should be kept steadily in view, heoaose
the same laws regulate capital that intern la
bor. I'ninst discrimination in favor of the em
ployer and against the laborer may succeed
temporarily, nut sucti a course is certain to re
suit, eventually, in disaster to all concerned.
We have been among those who from the
beginning had faith in the ultimate success of
free labor. It is amazing that, in a country
whose wealth is bssed to a great extent npon
the labor of the people, any other idea should
prevail. 1 here can he no failure in this mat
ter, except such as will arise under an infringe
ment ol the well known laws of political econ
omv. It will not be to the interests of employ
ers and capitalists of III" South, nr any other
section nf the country, to disregard these laws.
In a comparatively new cauntry like ours,
where I here is a wide field for Ibe display of
enterprise and energr, and where capital, In
stead of being owned hy the few, is distributed
among the many, labor can never be degraded
and it is always certain to command a (air re
numeration in an open market. This nrincl
pie is thoroughly understood and cheerfully
rvcegnizid in the Nor lb. und whenever it is
fairly acknowledged at Ilia Woulh lb labor
I r'.lktu In il)3t mtioD will re nired ThT
is no such thing known tn the laws of pulilical
economy as nn intermediate t'p between free
nnd slave labor. A man is cither at liberty t
rell his labor for what it is worth tn the highest
bidder, or it is taken from him by force and
sold hv another. It is this effort to create a
sort of purgatory, in the transition from slavo
to free labor, that has caused so much trouble
in adjusting this whole question at the South.
It is almost, if not altogether, as difficult for
the lata slaveholders tu become accustomed tn
tho free labor system as it is for the slaves
themselves. Instead of accepting the uew or
der of things in a philosophic spirit, as one of
the inevitable consequences of the rebellion,
and setting about earnestly In adapt themselves
to it, they waste time iu endenvnring to find
rome substitute for slavery which shall resem
ble it as much us possible. All such efforts nre,
nf course, worse than futile, fur while they are
being made the industrial interests of the
Smith are suffering from neglect, and the la
boring olnsses become, demoralized. While
the whole country is injuriously affected there
by, the great sufferers after all are the employ
ers of the South themselves. Not only Is their
land and their capital allowed to remain Idle,
but every duy lost now diminishes the prospect
of Iheir being able to recover, within the pres
ent generation, from r lit? prostration consequent
upon the luio war.
Wo have nn faith in the statement that the
negro will not work. Such an assertion is at
variance not only with the pact history of I lie
race in this country, but with the principles
which govern human nature. Human action
s controlled altogether by motives. While the
negro was n sluve. he worked because he knew
that a refusal to do so would insure punishment.
TJlen lie was not impelled by a sense of duty,
but by his fears. Now that he is free, he will
work beat use he knows thut he will receive Ibe
reward of his toil for the benefit of himself and
those around him, and in this onse he is con
trolled by hi; hopes, This is tho great differ
ence between slave and free labor. If the
freedinen refuse lo work, it is because Ihey dn
not receive Hie terms and treatment which oth
er laborers would demand. Iu that case the
fault is not with them, but with their employ
ers. V, hat is wanted is conliilence between

FKOM CAMP LOU AX.
Wo make, by permission, the following ex
tracts from a private letter v ritten by a private
in Company K. lit Oregon Inlatitry (Captain
lirgraham). dated Deo. 23d, 1805:
We have not had a word from (he land nf
the living fur over two weeks The latest pa
pers wo have are of Nov. 21st. Our lile is
very monotonous, hut there was a slight break
in the regular routine ulmut two weeks ngu. A
Doctor arrived here from Camp Wntron en
route fur Camp Colfax another miserable, nut
side post garrisoned h" 25 men and demand
ed nn escort tioin tins camp. .So there were
seven men, under charge of Corporal Harris
furnished with eight days' rations, nnd rolled
nut llirniigh the snow. It kept stunning nenrly
all the lime Ihey were gone, but Ihey nil got
back on Ibe eighth day. every one more or less
Irnst-bilten. Most of I he in are now almost well
hut nne or two will nut be able to do duly fur
some line, us their leet are badly frozen.
f e
reeding the mules and beef-cntlle at the
post is the only work I dn that seems natural
or I te like. We were furnished 22 head of
little, poor entile, nnionj; ihu hit eiehl old cows,
as our winter's supply nf meat, and Wo now
have eighteen mules, all of which have tu be
fed, of course, a they can get nothing through
the snow. If the Regulars should come, we
will have a cold trip helow, if the weather does
not change fur Ihe better, though I havu bill
little hope ol going before my year is up.
I sec by Ihe papers that they have learned
somehow Ihnt Ihu men of our Company (K)
have been in actual batiio with the Indians,
mil lulled in one grand encounter Indium to
the number nf eight. Now this perhaps looks
well on paper, but like most other affairs of the
kind nheru Indians have been killed, that yon
rrad about, it has Ihe leat Imaginable founda
tion iu truth. The facts in the case are simply
these ; We were camped near the summit ol a
high range of mountains four of us were on
guard ! just at dnylight nil Indian was seen
about HO!) yards from enmp, as liu passed an
open place among Ihe scrub pine. Two of us
went, fast as we could tun, for a rocky bluff ne
knew Ibe Indian must pass. hen we gut
within 100 yards of ihe bluff two Indians rode
nut in view. We linlh bred. Ihe Indiana ply

redrkins, four iu number now, kcepine. at the
lowest calculation, 1,000 yards ahead, yelling

about one nnd one half miles they found Iheir
temporary camp, where there had been Killed
as muny al nine head nf rattle wiiliiu a few

we kept finding plenty of heel which Ihev had
Ihtiiwu away In luzbten their loads. All Ihe
damage we did the in, aside finm giviug them a
big scare, vrns the burning of a few thousand
pounds nf beef, which they had slulen from the
settlers in John Day's valley, and this will nut

they stole Irom us the week before.
We two who fired first had the only shot

Thinning of Kift'iT. One lesson which ex

thinning the Iruit, especially nf apple and

but comparatively little attention. Thero is a
limit tu the capacity of all created thing.' If

hence we bear among farmers what they term

the Ilaldwin apple a a tree that bear nn al

Tho following; is a copy of a letter written
to Virgil U. Nutvsom, of llili oonnly, by sol-,
dier doted at Powder river, Jan, 19tli s
I promised that I would hold a regular cor
respondence with yon, at least nnce a month.
I received your favor, dated Deo. 3d, with
pleasure. You can imagine with what pleas
ure a soldier receives a letter from an old and
valued friend.
The last time I wrote to you I did not get to
tell you all I wished to. I will now try to give
you a few particulars of nnr trip from the Mis
sion over la this pluce. We started irom there
Deo. 24th and arrived here Jan. 18lh. We
hud a pretty cold trip. The boy who bad
their feet frozen suffered a great deal. We!
did everything we oonhl tn alleviate their mis.
ery. W found the buys nt this stntion well, 1
with Ihe exception of Ihuse who had their feet
frozen. Olio uf them bad tn undergo amputa
tion of Ihe feet, and that was ynnr old friend
Jacob Huffman. He is getting along as well
as could be expected under the circumstances.
There Is at Ibis time six nf the soldier lyin?
in Ihe hospital with frozen feet nnd hands. A
great many people Imagine that the soldiers nn
this coast havu no hardships to endure, hut in
Ihnt they aru mistaken. 1 have, for nne. soen
harder times in the last year than than I ever
saw in my life.
When I wrote to you before, I had intended
tn write inoro, but had not the time. Mr. Bel-
lieu, my iiifuriiinut concerning tho lllackfoot
mines, gave me n list, nf prices In thu mines,
which 1 penciled down, Hu says there nre nt
present about y,r00 men there, and provisions
scarce and very dear. 1 send yon repotted
prices: huperline Hour, per pound, 82 23:
iecf, 50c; luioun sides, $1 75; beans, 01; sugar
1 25; coffee, $1 75; leu, $3 50; whisky per
iinuifi; common playing cards, per deck.
92 50; French manic cards. $10: long-han
dled shovels. $32; mining forks, $:J2; long
tnin Irons, $10, lumber per m. $400; gum
boats. (32; common leather boots, $25; oast
nails, per pound, $2 : hammer, $7 50 ; hatohet
fill; hand sow, $15; whip-saws, $200. ,
1 he cause ul these enormous prices is Ibe
great scarcity nf the articles. But high as
these prices may seem, a mun can make grub
and lay up money besides. Next spring peo
ple, will bring in provisions, elo., from Ihe vul-
y, from alia. Salt l.nue, and up the Miss
ouri river from Missouri Iu Fort Kenton by
steamer. 1'rnvisiuns will then, of course, til
minish in price. If it were not' that I bad
token au oath to support Iho Union for three
years. I would certainly to to these mines, but
my oath is binding. Mr. llellien told me that
ho had seen gaming tables groaning under the
weight oi gold op there, Moke run very hlgn.
A mau whu gne thero slid is saving can make
a fortune. No euoh a shun as these mine has
offered itself nr a man to enrich himself.
