censures Of JEFF. Dsvis' administration a. it
dares be, its agreement with his official or
gan, the Enquirer, in spurniug the over
lures Of the Northern peace men is the more
important. It says the abolition majority"
Of the North, and the majority in the South,
are alike opposed to the copperhead plan.

parties aetuated BY such uncontrollabis an
tipathies. II required forty years to accom-
plish dissolution. The work had to be ec
fected by radical measures. The old roots
of affection which bound the tive people to-
gcther had to be thoroughly uptorn before
the work could be accomplished. The task
had to be so efiectually done as to be In
capable Of being undone. ~ ~
The Northern Democrats ask now, that,
with the frivolity of children, the two COM
munities should ignore the past, should treat
the tremendous events of the last forty years
as trifles; and with d.bt Of two or three
million of dollars incurred IN mutual slaugh-
ter, should make the bloody hands of each

Proclamation by the President respecting
soldiers absent without leave osas f7y
s..A ' ExEcur1vs MANSION,
Washington, March, 10. :
In pursuance of the 26th section Of an
act of Congress entitled an act for the en-
rollment and calling out of National forces
approved on the Cd Of March, 1868: I
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President, and
Commander in Chief of the Army and Ma
w of the United States, do hereby order
and command that all soldiers enlisted or
drafted into the service of the United States,
now absent from their regiments without
leave shall forthwith return to their respec-
tive regiments. and I do hereby proclaim
all soldiers now absent from their regi-
ments without leave, who shall on or be-
fore the first day Of April, 1868, report
themselves at any rendezvous designated in
General Orders No. So, may be restored to
their respective regiments without punish
ment, except the forfeiture Of pay and alow-
ances during their absence; and all who do
not return within the time above specified
shall be arrested IS deserters, and punished
IS the law pressribes.
Whereas, evil-disposed and disloyal per-
sons have enticed and procured soldiers to
desert and absent themselves from their
regiments, thereby weakening the strength
of the armies and prolonging the war, and
giving aid and comfort to the enemy, and
cruelty exposing the gallant and faithful
soldiers remaining in the RANKS to incsea ed
hardships and dangers. / do, therefore, cali
upon all patriotic and faithful citizens to op
pose and resist and aforementioned danger
Gus and reasonable crimes, and to aid in
restoring to their regiments all soldiers ab-
sent without leaye, and 70 assist in the exc
cution Of the act of Congress, for the enroll
ment and calling out of the National forces;
and for other purposes, and to support the
proper authorities in the prevention and
punishment Of offenses against said act, and
IN suppressing the insurrection and rebel
lion.
Ia testimony whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand. ' 'ts 2 '

Javn coffee and Pepper.

In extent Java is about seven hundred
miles in length. and It varies from eighty to
ore hundred and forty miles in width. It's
area is less than twenty thousand square
niles The face of this country is more o:
IS broken by mountains, but the soil gen.
orally is rich, sugar, coffee, pepper, spices
and a profusion OF the finest tropical fruits.
Coffee is cultivated to as great perfection as
in almost any other part of the world, 1t
grows upon large bushes, and the grains Of
coffee are formed two il . berry about the
SIZE and shape of our common plum. The
skin Of the berry is abont as thick as that

The bush is very productive. Every
branch is loaded with berries. which grows
two in aplace onjthe opposite sides Of each
other, and about an inch and a half apart.
When ripe the skin burst open and the
grains Of coffee fall out upon the groudn
but more general way is to spread some.

down. After the outer skin is taken of

dried in the sun) by heavy rollers. The cof

freed from the broken particles Of the bush.
II has been said by some writer's that one
bush with smother, WIN not average more
than pound of coffso. -, ,....,...
Black pepper is also raised to some extent
on the Island Of Java; but Sumatra, which
lies just accross the straits, is by far the
most celebrated for this commodity. Her
pepper is perhaps, the finest and most
abundant Of any country in the world.
Black pepper grows on . vine. The pepper
grows and looks, when grows, very much
like our currants., There is this difference,
however, the eurrant has each iss distinct
stem just as each grain Of Indian corn does
on the cob. The color Of the pepper, when
ripe, is almost bright red, and changes to
the dead black by being exposed to the heat
Of the sun. q 4assE
The white pepper is nothing more than
the common black with, the outer skin taken
of. It is first soaked until this skin bursts
open, which Is then rubbed or md the
grain dried. The white Is not cpnsidcred 50
pungent as the black though It is nicer and
more expensive, As more, labor is necessary
n order to prepare it. - g : q -
