Soldiers Of First Corps Of Army Of Potomac:
My duty calls me away and to temporary
separation from YOU. hope, however, to be
with YOU again to share your Iabors and your
pcrils and in defence of our homes and our
rights to lead you to new battles and to be
crowned with signal victories.
You arc now undergoing the severcst trial
OF soldiers life; the one by which his disci-
pine and capacity of endurance arc most thor
oughly tested. My faith in your PATRIOTISM,
your devotion and determination, aqd in your
high s0ldicrly qualities is so great that shall
rest assured you will pass through the ordeal
resolutcly. triumphantly. Still, cannot quit
You without deep emotions, without even deep
anxiety in the moment of our countrv's trials
and dangers. Above all, am anxious that my
brave countrvmcn, here in arms, fronting the
naughty - nv and muster of Northern mcrcc-

gcncv, and hence comprehend that this is no
time for the army of the Potomac-the men
of Manassas-to stack their arms and quit
even for a brief period, the standard they have
made glorious by their manhood.
All must understand this, and feel the mag
nitudc of the conflict impending the universal
personal sacrifices this war has cntaiIcd, and

boil it, but not so much as to burst the grain,
then dry it either in the sun, on a stove or a
kiln, after which it is ready for parching, to be
used like the real Coffee Bean. Prepared in
this manner it can hardly be distinguished
from the genuine Coffee. The Rye, when
boiled and dried, will keep for any. length of
time, and consequently can be DONE at some
convenient moment, as to have it ready
whenever wanted for parching.
