RYE COFFEE.

An article has appeared in several papers,
singed by l.. J. Roberts, NJ. d., which contains
two such grave that | cannot refrain from
correcting them, particularly many persons who
use rye as substitute for coffee mi ght be fright
ened out of an innocent beverage. H.1- g. -
The article says: ''The grain when burnt con-
tains fifty per ceut of phosphorie acid !" Now,
unscientifc people would suppose this to mean.
when parched. Ne suppose the Doctor intended
the ash of the grain. What is the true anal ysis
of rye according to the best authorities? 1000.
pounds produces only 103 pounds of ash; and of
this 103 pounds only .. .I6 of pound is phos-
phoric acid; not quite half pound to 1 900
pounds of the grain, and not quite per cent. OF
the ASH instead of upwards of 50 per cent, being
not quite the one-ffth of l per cent of the solid
grain. Besides, the Doctor forgets that not one
particle of the earthly salts is probably held in
solution by common weak decoction of the rye;
and If the whole grain swallowed there wouio
only be the medium amount of phosphorlc acid
contained in wheat and other cereals, just about
enough to make bone instead of destroying it.
The effects of rye, or the phosphoric acid In 1t,
utero gcstation, Is equally faaeious, aud quite
as grave error 1t is the ergot Of rye that pro-
duces abortion, not the common, healthy grain
used for coffee. 1t is a long, black, sinking
grain, easily distinguis he'd from the other, and
only occurring under certain unfayorabe cilcum-
stances. The common rye is quite as innocent as
wheat or coffee in this respect. as

incapable of resistance, We only remind our
readers that in the course Of the war, New York
aud Philadelphia fell into the hands of the enemy,
that Norfolk was burned and Charleston aud Saw
annah captured.
If it we're within our limits TO describe the con-
dition of the army and country at that period our
readers would be astonished at the picture
TIE Confederate Treasury was without money or
credit The troops without arms, ammunition or
clothes. The people without accumulated wealth
or current supplies of the most necessary charac-
ter The country was divided in opinion. The
temptations u sasssy and senfort were held out
to the timid and mercenary. Threats Of death
and confscation published against those who per-
sisted.
Yet the approval of Providence, the resointe
and unyielding resistance of the people, and .
mode of warfare appropriate to the emergency,
bore our ancestors triumphantiy ont OF the most
unequal aud terrible strife.
When we review the present resources Of our
country, the many advantages which We possess,
the infinitely greater difference between submit-
ting to the hereditary rule of distant government
aud the domination of present abolitionists, ignor
ant and vicious aliens and the accumulated abom-
ination which Northern wickedness will pour upon
us-when we know that subjugation implies the
confscation of our property, with the deliberate
extirpation of everything of which Southerner 10

to apprcheud and abhor--we see that while eur

tors, we have Thousand fold more motives TO

ARMS IN PRIVATE HANDs.-We learn from
the Richmond Enquirer that over seven thousand
stand of fire arms have been delivered over to the
military authorities by the citizens of Richmond
in response re recent proclamation by the Gov
nor of Virginia--all of them good and effective
weapons Tn addition to the firearms about two
hundred sabres and seventy artillery swords have
been received There is no way of estimating the
wealth of weapons in private hands throughout
the Confederacy. IF our several State Governments
will but require an exhibit by the people of their
resources in this respect there will be found to be
no want of the means to carry on energetic war
fare

The Journal d Avranches mentions the follow

Ing large house dog, chained up in the yard,
was heard barking violently, and was at length set
at liberty in order to quiet him The moment the
animal was let loose it ran into the house, and up
the stairs to the door of the room prepared for
the married couple, against which he began
scratching in a violent manner On the door
being opened by the persons who had followed
the animal, the dog rushed under the bed and
Immediately loud cry was heard. On looking
under, man, who had been just stranglcd By
the dog, was found, having in his hands two
loaded pistols. He was recognized as one Of the

MARTIAL LAw-The Standard says that a
public meeting was held il Raleigh last week to
consider whether the citizens should apply to Pre-
sident Davis to declare martial law in Raleigh and
for ten miles around. NJ A Bedsoe, Esq, advo-
Gated martial law and Fl. W Miller, Esq opposed
it. The meeting decided against it, and the Stan
dard approves the decision remarking that there
is no necessity for martial law at this time.
If what Raleigh correspondent of the Peters
burg Express says is true it is certainly time for
martial law, or some other kind Of law, to be pro-
claimed in Raleigh The correspondent, under
date of March 18th, says:
The successes which the yankees have met
with on coast has given encouragement to
some of the disaffected in our community, and SEN
timents are openly expressed which it would be
dangerous to hint IN some communities.
In addition to the above we will state what
told us some weeks ago. respectable citizen
of this county, who was in Raleigh when the news
of the fall of Roanoke Island reached that place,
says he heard man proclaim on the street that
he had been Union man and intended to remain
a Union man, and that the Union cause would yet
triumph. The gentleman who informed of this
declaration had sick soldier, his own son, in
charge, and did not have opportunity to learn
the name of the tory who used the language we
have repeated
" call the attention Of the editor of the Stand
ard to these things, and ask him if it is not time
for martial law some sort of law to be enforced

waiting for an opportunity to injure the southern
cause, Is it right to allow them to go at large in
not for us is against US. Prompt and vigorous ac-
ton and watchfulness is what we need now.

CONFEDERATE MoNEY.-The war has swollen
far beyond the proportions contemplated in the
beginning, and the necessary result has been a
larger issue Of Confederate money than at first
supposed probable. All were agreed at the outset
that Confederate money was better than any of
the evidences of debt afoat in the community, and
this fact has not been changed by the prodsious
growth of the war. If Confederate paper is not
good, there is good money in the South
States. Confederate money is issued for the
protection of all other property The whole oper-
ations of war are carried on by its means; and the
object of the war Is to protect our slaves from
emancipation our labour system from destruction,
our real estate from coniscatien, and PERSONAL
t6 from seizure and appropriation By the enemy.
By means of Confederate money we are defending
ali the rest of our property, and system of
labour which gives value to all property y.-Rtch-

We highly approve the action Of this meeting,

meet our cordial appreciation. We know of but

better qualified to be Governor during these trou-

VIM. JOHNSTON, Eso.-The name Of this gen
tleman has been prominently brought before the
people of the State by large portion Of the press
ana otherwise, as most suitable to be elected
Governor of the good Old Commonwealth, at the
election to be held in August next. And men of
all former political parties have united in
mending him to their fellow citizens for the nigh
aud responsible office, in the present critical con-
dition of our public affairs, whose admins
trative abilities and well-tested energy, would be
equal to the crisis which the war has prccipitated
upon the State and country. But that Mr. John
ston, with all his sterling abilities, and administra-
tive public career Of usefulness for of years
past, in the discharge of most responsible trusts,
for the welfare and prosperity of the people and
honor of the State-should encounter opposition
from some quarter, is not matter for wonder.
Such occurs in the history of all great men; al
though, Mr. Johnston pretends to nothing more
than to occupy equality with his fellow citizens
