VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL FILLS,
IT in fteiienilly known (but my Griuuifiithor was tlie
.riiriimi inventor of tlietie rutuurktihle pills. '
He whb mrieutUin mrtii, and a medical prHetitioner
of the Old School. Hut becoming urni'meil at the nior
tulitv that liUuiiiluil the lileuiliiitf and Miuerul Pruc-
tin, he turned hin attention to the Hiudy of nature and
the philOHophv ot oirtwiMe, m hi ho to the minimi renio
tlial iicntr which he ton ml to exim excltiMivoly in the
Vegetable Kintfdom. In hi reHoaruliuft and inveotl
atioiiB, he became fully au tidied thiit the lift) watt in
the blood: that bv wlmVever name di-jetties were din
tinuiHlied, impurity of the blood was the source of
. nil a simple and truMitul uovtnne, wiiii'ii, in reduciii)
all dirieuBtiB to a unit, ne warily ettlablitthed the fact
that alt were to he treated on the wimu general priu
ciplw. vir. by pnrtratioit.
Novr the nind dilHcalty ronton) ed in devising a veg
etable coiiiponud tlmt would inviurute, purity, and
cleanse the blood, correct and refftilute all the di Her
ein HecretioiiR. and by pmxntion diciM.rfo tlio whole
mm of morbid matter from the body, without reduc
ing the strength. After thirty years of close applica
tion, he couaidered Ins object fully accomplished in
the production ol these pills, which have now been
before the public One Hundred and Fourteen Years,
and it is now (IHfiS) nearly 31 years since Dr. Uran
druth's VeneUible Universal Lite 1'i-eserviiiK Pill
were Urst presuLted u the Amcricau public -during
which tiuiu thoir superior excellence and virtues have
been extensively proclaimed by papers and pamphlets,
and a rapid yearly increase of the sale of them ef
fected. To know what will save life, to know what will
restore health, is a knowledge not to be hidden, I,
therefore, as a inuu desiring to do my duty faithfully,
have dolled down some of my thirty-live yeuin' expe
rience with IJrundrelh's Pills, which ure an effectual
ossiHtuut of nature, and cause (he expulsion of urri
luonious humors the occasion of every sickness. Let
us admit that corrupt humors prevent the free circula
tion of the blood, that Hnuidritili's Pills take out
these humors, giving health for paiu.and strength for
weakness.
No man is sick save when the principle of corrup
tion gets the ascendency; ilrundreth's Pills aid (lie
Life Principle to regain the empire by removing the
corrupt humors from the body. Many u time 1 have
eeen life apparently at the last ebb, when these Pills
were given, and in a few hours the danger was past,
and health's Hood tide uave the patient renewed life
and vigor. Many arc the fathers, mothers, sons, and
daughters, thus saved.
These celebrated Pills are cou,poned wholly of me
dicinal herbs, and do not ootitain any mercury urotiW
mineial, being perfectly harmless to the most tender
aire or weakest frame; yet sure to search otit the muse
of sickness, and restore the health if taken uccording
to the directions.
Let no one imatrine they ure 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, aud then (he beauties of purgation will
gradually become unfolded to our view, which, en
forced with liraiidieth's Vegetable Universal Pills, is
able to cure every disease where the organs ure sound,
and greatly increase the average of human life.
I have now used on my own person, and prepared
and administered, liraiidreth's Pills for thirty-live
years. 1 believe they are the best purgative in the
world; and with this' medical quality they have also
a tonic effect. Aud as I am of the llrm opinion that
inttainmatioti and fevers are caused by corrupted
blood Dot being timely evacuated, because it regurgi
tates, so to speak, over (he whole body, and thus cor
rupts the sound blood (bat should nourish all the mem
bers, and actually destroys and paralyzes members or
organs that are unsound; and us 1 know that these
Pills have a direct ettuct to remove all corrupt blood
and acrimonious humors from the body in fact, all
humors below the vital standard of health; so I should
be guilty of a irreut sin, did I not do all in my power
to propagate the use of a medicine which is possessed
of properties so calculated to suve aud increase the
average of human life.

, , Eehruary Till. )
Mr. Editor i It is now twelve days since I reached
this city, having been robued on board the steamship
Oreiion of 120 JIIO in Culled Slates gold coin, which I
hud collected on imports in the District of Oregon, and
wlticb, lu accordance with iti.n ucll.ins front the Depart
ment in Wiifthingtun, I wos bringing to deposit with tlc
Asib-taut Treasurer iu San KmnciKco. The money was
taken from my trunk In my state-room, the thief enter
lttlt my moi, during my shsenc Sir a short tltne, by
unha'kitig the disir, and entering my trunk hy prying
off a portion of the bottom nnd unlocking the trunk, us
I suppose, by pushiug the bolt :tf the lock back with
his linger, m 1 afterward learned from the Detectives
could be done. ' My room I found locked as usual, and
the cord around my trunk properly tied. I had no ana.
picions that my trunk had been disturbed till I arrived
at the liusa House, very loon after tli landing of the
Oregon, and opened the same to deposit' the BioBcy In
a safe, when 1 discovered that, out of H",.',()0 In gold,
M.7I7 in greenbacks, fin in demand notes, Government
money In my trunk besides some currency helongingto
tne, nf which I had no! memorandum of the precise
amount, $'.'0,500 in gold luuj licen taken. 1 immediately
niainea tn Polite wwscfersaperrd hsv siece lu.eu en
gaged in rendering every iisfiinnce iu my power lo en
shle them to ferret out the guilty parties, Shockedsml
mortillcd as I wus on discovering the loss of the luoney,
I very soon learned that I was to sutler a still sorer iitin-
ishment, ai 1 and my friend were not hng In di.wovor-
iuk uiii. a poneriui iinuieiice was set on loul, in a soon
time alter the robbery became nubile, to create the im
pression tliat 1 wss a villuin and had not been robbed of
a diMiur. i he mugnitiiile ut that tiilluenee, tlie initiring
zcul with which It hunted me down, and its success In
doing tne mischief, hits been ahiindantly shown in the
remiirlts which have been insdo hy certain parties on
tlie streets, by tlie iiiicandid. uncalled for and unjust ur
tirlcH which have appeared in one o the prints of this
eity, and a villiitn'inHly libellous editorial in in. other. It
these men luid desired lo know the truth, they cmilil
have oliLaitted It from the Detective, who weie the only
parties, eieept myself and 'those who committed the
rubbery, who have the means of knowing to a certainty
that the roblicry was urtually eoitiniiiied. The lietect
ives Captains Lees. Ellis and Watkina could have
told tlicm.m they have often told mc and several prom
inent ami worthy men si tins city ami or Oregon, tliat
they hud arrived at evidence, during a moat thorough
iovestiirati in. that " ure ved lievond nil nossitiilitv ot a
donhtthst the robbery had boeu committed.'' as I al
leged. Sunie of the men have assured me and oiheia
that thev were just a-, well auretl, from wltst their in
vestisatlnii hail developed, thiit I hud been foully mbta-d
as though they hud seen the robbery emnmiued. Thee
men have tieen t-ireed Into tills utHiel liy exauiiiiing tlie
whole case, in the face of nn Influence that has failed
to extort a condemnation of me from thut quarter. Vet
1 find the Alia, niter having pnblitlicd an exeeedinuly

intiint, speaks ot It yeterdny us " the rohberv--if any
was committed." Tlie .Vers Uilrr of the iflh has

We are nermitlctl to publish the following

at " Heai.qiiarteta Military Division of the

;V v Dear Friend t Your letter
wa very welcome, and nai the first new I

I wa rerjr glad to hear your view, m the
Mexican question. Some people think it a
nonny ol mine, bnt Ihey are mistaken, a I
have no hnbhiei. What I here written to the
Government i I roe, and will grow in import
ance ue lime grow.- I believe that we never
will have a restored Union until the French
lenve Mexico, nnd I have considered this sn
important that I have thought the Government
should Intve demanded their withdrawal. The
occupation of Mexico wa a blow at republican
institutions, a blow at own country, nnd if they
are allowed to remain, the nialouiiti'ute nf the
South, vthii lure any flag better than the old
Ping, will lie an element of strength fur Fran
in our midst, which will be more dangerous
than the Copperhead of the North in the
struggle just gone by. Miiny nf the people nf
the .Southern Slates have beoouie very poor
during I lie wnr. and are too indolent tn retrieve
their fiirluiif by labor. These men will drift
In Mexico, nnd each one nf them will have hit
IciticHi in hia heart. This and many oilier
evil lean foresee, utiles we establish the Lib
eral again in (hi country. I have ,'ailli that
they will drive the French nut Ihemselvea, as
