Good coffee is a luxury, but one that
is seldom met with. It is doubtful
whether one family in dozen know
what really good coffee is. Though
we have published cline upon line"
upon the subjective give the following
from a lady correspondent ofthe, Ger
mantown Telegraph, and hope some Of
our lady readers will give the recon-
mended trial, and report to us the re-
suit. ..
The making ofgood coffee is a rare
thing in this country; most persons
boil it, thus making a.decotion instead
of an infusion; this effeetually gets rid
of the delicate and agreeable aromatic
flavor, and leaves a. comparatively
tasteless beverage. The following par
ticulars will be found worth atten-.
ton:
Never by your coffee ground, but
grind it yourself, Immediately before
using it; keep your coffee pot, whatev-
er kind you may use, wiped clean and
dry inside (; a damp tea or coffee pot
acquires musty flavor that spoils
the best tea or coffee. The cheapest
and perhaps the best, coffee pots arc
those made on the French plan, called
cafetieres. Ifyou havenot oneof these,
adopt the following plan: Put your
freshly ground coffee into the coffee
pot previously made warm, and pour
upon it water actually boiling; set tie
pot by the side of the fire Tor a few
seconds, but do not let it boil up; then
pour cupful out and return it back
again to the pot, in order to clear Il;
having done this let itstand ON thehob
or centre to settle, and in less than
five minutes transparent, strong, ar
ometic cup Of coffee may be poured out.
The proportions ofcofee (Which should
not be too finely ground) recommend
ed, are an ounce to q pint and u half Of
water. 91liI hHgW
The milk used with coffee should
always be boiled and used as hot as
possible; the boiling Of milk imparts a
peculiar and exceedingly pleasant IA
vor to thecoflee. Whitesugaris recon-
mended, as the molasseslike Aavors Of
moist sugar quite over powers, the
delicate aroma,

ton and assaSsination-the very leaders Of tho
rebelon-should be allowed, after their in
voluntary failure, to posses all the rights and
privilege of good citizens. That o scheme 30
absurd and dangerous should be sternly oppos-
ed by every true patriot, ought to admit of no
doubt. The fact that it has some advocates
render it more important to sustain the con-
trary proposition.
In my inaugural address, l said, "that while
Pennsylvania will contide in loyal Congress,
she will not hesitate to sustain II by her infiu-
ence and power" This repeat. Nor can l
be induced to change this purpose nor do l
believe the people of the State can be, by sp-
peals to the humanitaranism Of the age and
the invocation of mercy for those whose afro
cious deeds have darken the pages Of our his
tory 1t has been well said, 'the pity Of tho
magistrate which suffers criminal dangerous
to society to escape from deserved punishment
is not mercy but weakness" TracmercD In
clnes us to pity and relieve the MN nato
and guilty but only in accordance wNtijus-
ticc And itmay well be added that 1t Is at
least q weakness, ifnot a crime, to permit un-
repentant and only outwardly subdued trail
tors, to exercise the elective franchise, hold
offices, or take part in the deliberations and
legislation OF the nation, Its stability and
prosperity, the welfare fthe people now and
hereafter, cannot permit these things TO be
done.
individual interests, as well as the general
financial condition of our national affairs would
he greatly benefited by the simplifcs.ion OF
internal revenue taxation reducing the numb er
of articles taxed and insuring honesty and
faithfulness in collection. The reduction of
taxes on the necessaries of life and on manu-
facturcs that are in competition with tho, pro-
ducts OF foreign labor should be encouraged.
while the tax on luxuries and imports should
be made sufficient to sustain the expenses Of
the Government. !,
The people of Pennsylvania, ever true to
the Union. and answering in their determi-
nation to preserve its honor, integrity and
perpetuity, are proud and free to assert the
!
sacredncss of the national debt, and that ks
ultmative payment in full must bc secured.
As regardsthc tariff, the protection otlhome
labor and resources, need only refer to the
views expressed in my inaugural. Time and
continued reflection have strengthened the
views therein expressed. But this subject IL
committed to the watchful care of our Repre-
sentatives in Congress- and it is hoped their
labors will be crowned with the happiest con-
sequences. Surely the United States should
protect and defend her ownindustry and skill
her own toiiirg millions!
earnestly invoke the blessing of Almighty
God upon your deliberations and that he will
prosper your eycrtion to promote the peoplc
and the welfare of our beloved Common
wealth. JSo. w. GgARY.

SO plugs of tobacco at 10 cents cost $50
300 drinks at ten cents each. cost 80 90

self under their protection" and gave
up my arms. One of them, a corporal,
said he had better take me to the rear.

tunity.
We went back over the battle
ground, and L had fair chance to wit
ness the effects. The field was pretty
thickly strewn with the dead and
wounded, but the rebel dead outnum-
bered ours two to one. No wonder,
for every chance for doing good exc
cution had been in our favor. | was
put to work carrying our wounded
into barn, and making them COM
Portable as possible. But few had been
left to fall into the hands Of the enemy.
One man of our company was killed,
one wounded and left on the field, and
four captured.
In the evening we were taken into
New Market and quartered for a short
time in house into which the rebel
wounded had been carried. The
ladies of the town were in attendance,
caring for the poor fellows. The street
in front of the hospital was red with
blood. My corporal captor was still
with me, and treated me very kindly.
He permitted me to pick up blanket
and haversack, while Others were rob-
bed of blankets, hats and boots, as
well as of money. He said he was
tired of fighting, but so long as the
war continued, he would fight. He
had no negroes of his own, and cared
nothing about them. He could not
read or write.
Finally we were marched to a camp
two miles south of town. 1t was dark
when we arrived there, and the ground
was soaked with rain, but we kindled
fires, and made the best oft. | cook
ed what meat and coffee | had, and
then lay down and soon fell asleep.
Thus ended my first dag of PRISON

PRISON EYFE.
BY A PRISONER.

The next day was Sunday, the 18th
of May. flour commanders had been
the right kind of men, we would have
rested on that day, and very likely
have escaped a defeat. But before
daylight we were on the move. The
whole force was marching. Soon the
booming Of cannon again burst upon
our ears.
"And nearer, clearer, deadlicr STILL"
it came, as we advanced. Our hearts
were beating fast. We knew we were
going into battle. The jest and song
of the march died away, and in their
stead came quiet, firm detcrmina
ton.
AT noon we reached Mt. jackson,
~ miles from Woodstock. Here 4
short halt was made, and then we
marched on. In two hours we had
made eight miles. The road was now
lined with stragglcrs going to the
rear, who assured us that all was well
at the front. Soon we reached the
battle ground and formed into line.
-Four regiments Of infantry besides our
own, were on the field. We lay few
minutes and then took new position
in an open field beside a battery,whcre
we knew the rebels would advance.
And soon our picIets came running
in, firing as they retreated. Away in
front we saw a long line of grey in
motion. Our men became excited,
and rose up to fire, but stern COM
mand called them down again. The
battery was firing. l heard COM
mand, "fre percussion" and looking
up saw Gen. Sigel riding over the
field, smoking a cigar. Now the bull
lets came among us. The first one
wounds Sergeant in Co. F the Sec
ond kills a man by my side ; the third
wounds my companion forager. And
now we can wait no longer, but rise up
and fire towards the line of grey, now
epvelopedain' smoke. Then our COM
Pany is called to the right of the line
to join. with a company from another
Regt. in preventing flank movement
And off we go amid screaming of shot
and shell, and roar of musketry, and
groans of wounded men, and shouts
and curses of officers till we gain our
new position. Here we are compara-
lively safe, but keep on firing. The
rebels charged across the open field in
splendid style, but the steady fire
from our battle line stopped them, and
we saw the dead and wounded fall like
autumn leaves. Three times Their
line was broken, and three times did
they rally again and advance, and at
last our line was forced back. We
were SO enveloped in smoke that We
did not notice our forces retreating,
until they had gone some distance
Then the terrible truth flashed upon
us, aoe aoere defeated. Our only hope
was to follow them, and we fell back
in confusion. But the rebels were too
quick for us, and commenced closing
in on our flank. The river, swollen
with the rains, stretched away to the
left, and we knew we could not cross
it. If we could gain the bridge in
front of us we were safe. Every one
was now looking to his own interest.
In the confusion 1 became exhausted
and fell behind, and suddenly found
myself confronted by four burly fel-
lows, who with guns pointed, COM
manded Inc. to surrender. Seeing no

GOV. GEaRY'S MESSAGE.

TWe are enabled to give but an cpl
tome of the document, the whole pdper
being too unwieldy for our columns.
1t contains that generally important to
the people Of the Commonwealth.
70 the Senate and House Of RepreSen-
tatires Of the Commonwealth Of Penn
sylrania:
GENTLEMEN Before performing
the customary and constitutional duty
of transmitting to you information of
the affairs of the Commonwealth, and
recommending such measures to your
consideration as are deemed necessary
and expedient, it affords me great
qualification to tender to you my most
friendly greetings on your assembling
at the Seat of Government, and to
welcome you to the council chambers of
the State.
Our greatful acknowledgements are
due to the Benifccnt Author of all
good for the continued prosperity and
well being which everywhere prevails,
for the abundance which has crowned
the labors of the husbandman, for the
general health with which we have
been so sirnallv favored, and for all
the enjoyments of peace, contentment
and happiness within our borders.
Our country has just emerged from
the trials and dangers of an unrighte-
Gus rebellion and entered upon period
of important political struggles aris-
ing therefrom. Being convened as
the representatives of confding con-
stituency, grave duties and response
bilties devolve upon you to so legis-
late upon the great and manifold inter
ests committed to your charge as best
to subserve, the welfare of the people
and advance the honor of the State.
The fullest confidence is entertained
that your deliberation will result bene-
fcially and your public duties be
faithfully discharged and on my
part, permit me to give you assurances
of Jealous cooperation in all your
labors calculated to promote the gener-
al welfare.
One of the most important duties
devolving upon the Legislature is the
consideration of the public finances.
Such action should be taken for the
provision of funds to defray the current
expenses of the Government, the pres
ervation of the credit of the Common
wealth, and the speedy extinguishment
of the public debt, as circumstances
shall be found to require. These
objects are of the highest Importance
and claim the first attention of the
Representatives of the people.

The RESULT IN VERMoSr.-With all

may differ, we must say that we do not al
low the result Of the late election in YER
mont TO give us the least uneasiness. II
gave us no more concern than the WE'LL
known announcement that "The Dutch
have taken Holland" Vermont il q Mag
dalene Of Radicalism nov, as she was the
hoibed Of Abolitionism before the war.
1t was expected that the election there
would have an influence upon future cleo
lions in other States in favor OF the Radi-
cal party; and hence all the influence Of
en- army Of bondholders and the National
Banks was eKerted to bring out an unex-
aupled vote. For forty years past, Yer
mont has given a majority at each election
Of from fifteen to thirty thousand against
