Java-Growtb of oofee and PeDpery

In extent, Java is about 700 miles in length. and
it varies from 80 to 40 miles in width lis area is
less than 2O,OOO square miles. The face of the
country is more or less broken by mountains but
the soil generally is rich and productive The
products are rice, sugar, coffee pepper spices and
prOfusOn of the finest tropical fruit We were
much interested in seeing some Of these tropical
productions growin& Coffee is cultivated here To
as great perfection as in almost any other part of
the world. II grows upon large bushes, that very
much resemble our large chinquepin bushes and
the grains of coffee formed two in a berry
about the size and shape Of our common plum
The skin of the berry is about thick as that of
the plum, and the color, when ripe, that of pale
scarlet. The bush is very productive. Every
branch is loaded with the berries which grow
two in place, on opposite sides of each other
and about one inch and a half apart When ripe
the skin bursts Open and the grains of coffee fall
out on the ground. But more general way is to
spread something under the bush, and shake the
coffee down. After the outer skin is taken off
there remains a kind Of husk over each kernel,
which is broken of, after being well dried in the
sun, by heavy rollers. The coffee, after this needs
winnowng, in order tobe freed from the broken
particles of the husk 1t has been said by some
writers that one bush will not with another, aver
age more than pound Of coffee but it seemed to
me, though could only judge from Appearances
that this was too small an allowance for each bush
Black pepper is also raised to some extent on the
island of Java; but Sumatra, which lies just across
the Straits, is by far the most celebrated for this
commodity. Her pepper is, perhaps, the finest and
most abundant OF any one country IN the world
Black pepper grows on vine, very much like our
grape vine, and the pepper-vineyards remnded.me
very much of our American vineyards. of grapes
The pepper grape grows and looks, when green, a
good deal like our currants. There is this differ
ence, however the currant has each lis own dis
tinct stem, but the pepper has not. Every grain
grows hard on to one common stem, just as each
grain of Indian corn does on the cob, or husk, as
Yirgimans incorrectly would say The color of
pepper, when first ripe, is almost bright red, and
changes to the dead black common to us, by being
exposed to the heat of the sun.
The famous white pepper is nothing more than
the common black with the outer skin taken off
1t is first soaked until this skin bursts open, which
is then rubbed of and the grain dried, The white,
therefore, is not considered pungen as the black,
though it is nicer and more expensive, as more
labor is necessary in order to prepare it

From THE CALIFORNIA MINEs.-A letter to the
New York Tribune, dated at San Francisco, on
the LIST May, says: arrived here last evening
from the Mines, where things are in very bad
way at present. very serious difficulty has
arisen between the miners and the Indians. The
evening before left ! saw five Indians shot down
in as many minutes. These red men Of the forest
were executed on suspicion of having been the
murderers of IS men from Oregon. They (the
Indians) had been long and well-known as friendly
10 the whites before the occurrence of this sad
affair. | came down as the bearer Of petition
from the minersto Gen Persfor F. Smith, asking
for troops TO be sent to the mines to protect the
whites against other Indians who are lurking about
the diggngs and threatening vengeance against the
pale faces ] think he will try to send some
troops out but he will need at least three men "a
guard each soger at the mines to avoid deserOn.'

GOLD DUsT.-Mr. Ward, who lately came down
the Missouri to St. Louis, brought with him between
$1,000 and $1,000 worth of gold dust, which he
purchased from Arapache Indian, who assured
him he had dug it at the mouth of Ash Hollow, on
the Platte. It is said, however THAT no traces of
gold be found in the vicinity Of the Platte and
the Indian in all probability, obtained it from some
Mormons, recently returned from the Salt Lake.

jury REBUKED.-In the Philadelphia Court
Of Sessions nine young men were tried for a riot
at the Philadelphia engine-house on the 24th ult.,
and, notwithstanding the evidence against them
was overwhelming, the Jury (which had been Sc
lected from talesmenl returned verdict of acquit-
tai The verdict occasiOned much establishment,
and Judge Parsons, after dseharging the Jury, ad-
dressed the defendants as follows;
You are probably as much surprised as the
Court at the verdict just rendered. It is without
the slightest justification in the law the evidence
and doubt much whether twelve other men could
be found in the city and county of Philadelphia
who would have rendered such verdict. In my
experiences upon the bench, have generally found
me Verdlcts OF Iuries to be correct If they err il
Is because there is something in the evidence ia
raise a reasonable doubt but in this case there
was not shadow upon which the conscience
could base justification, or even an excuse. Lei
me warn you, young men, not to let this verdict
embolden yop III crime. Should you again be
brought TO trial, you cannot expect such another
verdict. Though Justice is sometimes slow, she is
always certain in her operations Beware. then
how You again commit like offence against tbe
peace Of society and the laws of the land''
