Vera Cruz correspondence of the 9th inst +.
says that the merchants of that city are com
planning bitterly of the addition of 80 per
cent. to the tariff. They claim that it should
not extend to the merchandise imported be-
fore the publication of the decree; but Max
imillian has declared not only that they must
pay the additional duty upon such goods,
but that. if they do not render full account
of the merchandise on hand in three days,
they will be compelled to pay so instead of
80 per cent.

Conference of the United Brethren.

The Kansas Annual Conference of the
United Brethren in Christ, closed i!s SEES
sion at Lecompton few days ago. From
perusal of the proceedings published in
the Lawrence Tribune, it seems the session
was one of great interest TO this growing de-
nomination. Our readers are aware that
the Brethren of this State have purchased a
large building in Lecompton. and started
their State University there. called Lane
University. This school is already 10 a
fourishing condition, and has wrought won
ders on the morals of Lecompton. This
denomination has always been radically an :
IL slavery, and its ministers have deemed it
their duty to denounce the twin relic"
from the time of its organization. We
quote resolution passed by the conference
which shows how these people feel on the
great questions of the day
WHEREAS, We believe that the late war,
which brought so much death and suffering
to our country, was waged in defense Of
principles which we have ever cherished,
and especially in defense of the great prin-
ciple OF equal rights 10 all men; and
WHEREAS, l. is the duty of the followers
of Christ everywhere to encourage the right
and to condemn the wrong in governments
as we'll as in individuals; therefore
RESOLVED, That. while We behold with
deep regret SO wide difference of opinion
between the Chief Executive of our country,
we express our most cordial approval of the
course of our Congress. and our heartfelt
thanks to Almighty God that He has, at
this critical juncture in the history of our
nation, given US, to frame our national laws,
men of such wisdom and frmness.
The following resolution was passed in
relation to the institution of learning con,
trolled by this denomination
Resolved, That we commend Lane Uni
versity, located at Lecompton, as a fully
successful enterprise. ably and economical
ly administered, aud in every respect one Of
the leading institutions of education in the
State.

Pill, use ''Dr. I. Rennold's celebrated Virginia
Hcpatic and Purgative Pill"
This pin is not the invention Of quack or an
imposter, designed to impose upon public creduli-.
ty, but was compounded by DR.. i. Rennolds, of
Staunton Va, regular graduatesand eminent
practitioner of medicine in this section, who, after
years of careful study SO arranged the proper
tlons of the ingredients to render it applicable
to the diseases for which it is recommended He
had no idea OF extending their use beyond the
community in which he lived and practiced, but,
after his death, which occurred in y anuary, 1861
having lett the formula for compromising them to
his brothar, VIM Rennolds, of Louisa county
Va, the later, for reasons stated iii pamphlet
around box containing them, has undertaken to
have tn IN manufactured for the people of the
whole Stat.
This pill has stood the test of ample experience,
having been extensively used and highly valued
by the people of this section for many years. is
| substantiated by certificates contained in pamph-
let around DOx as well as Otnef evidences or APP
probation from many Of our most distinguished
| AMI reliable citizens.
The price Of this pill is so cts per box. Though
this is apparently higher than the price charged
for those ordinarily sold to the public, yet it
be remembered that the dose is less than cne half
Of the latter, and consequently is just cheap as
any others.
To prove this, it is only necessary to call atten-
ton to the fact that boxes Of pills uiual contain
from "a to 80 pills, the avarage4 dose being from
B to g. One boxe contains II, the dose being only
one for ordinary purposes, and hence the quantity
is just great in a smaller bulk without reference
to the certainty and efficiency of the remedy and
obviating the serious objection to taking so many
for dose.
Nothing is claimed for this pill that we do not
cncously believe and if we cannot succeed
lin introducing it to the people by stating the truth
we will not degrade ourselves or try to impose
| lpon others By going beyond it..
