L
mind, Of many If the ultra Republicans
of Ohio who voted for Gov. Tod, should
w;sb ia recall that act. It appears that

of a conservative Union mon TO SUIT
their perverted tastes, for he declares
that, in "putting down the rebellion
the object can be accomplished only "
brinplne to condign punishment The
LEADERS of Tie rebellion, and satisfying
,heir misguided followers, by firm aud
generous policy, that we seek, not the
destruction OF any OF their domestic IN
sti,utions, but only the maintenance and
enforcement OF the Constitution and
laws Of the nation"
This will not suit the ultraists. for
instance, it will not suit our nelghboF,
for he very fatty declares that he hopes
TIE war will not close until the ioui
stain Of slavery is wiped from the land
There are many OF the same school, VINO,
!, ,bc;r anxiety to cary GU, their par
,;cu'a1 spite against the peculiar instltu'
ton, lose sight Of the Constitution ana
seem to forget that the only true object
Of the war is to preserve the Union and
o,t,rco obe1jence to the laws OF the
lsnd. They will be down on Gov. Tod
sure.
COFFEE RAISING ~ ILLINoIs.-The
Chicago Journal says it has been dem
OF stra,ed to certainty, that coffee can
be grown in Illinois.
Mr.. George X. Hoffman, OF Ellington
county, last year raised too bushels Of
coGeg, nearly indertlcal with Rio coffee.

ago from Australia. 1t is unproductlve
the first year, bearing little the second
year, and is most productive the third
season. At his estimate, thirty bushels
can be grown per acre. The plant has
every appearance ofhardness and adapt
ability TO Illinois soil. Many farmers IN
Mr.. Hotiman's vicinity will plant il the
coming season.

THE "markers' at the New York
Custom House, eighty one in number,
we've discharged on Saturday, the Office
haviog been abolished. The markers
were employed to stamp upon each box
or bale of imported goods the name OF
the ships by which it arrived, and the

was paid a salary Of twelve dollars
week for services which now devolve
upon the storekeepers and their assist
ants. The saving effected by this is up
wards Of $4,000 year.

forward movement by land, from Cairo,
seems to be mud. 1t is said to be knee

With such state Of travel, it is unrea-
sonable to suppose that there will be
much progress made at present in that
