Chickory, We all know, is largely used
in adulterating ground coffee. Use

concentrated coffee, which is made mostly
of the sugar beet. Use sugar beet.
Take carrots and cut them up into small
pieces not larger than grain of coffee

The same paper announces that thirteen
large steamers. loaded with troops left Old
Point on Thursday, and presumes that
they are intended for another expedition
to some other point. The editor has been
hoaxed, as no steamers except two delayed
by the storm, containing the De Penicul
Zouaves. left on that day The prisoners
from Richmond also say that up to the
