singular Salt Depository.

An officer Of the U. S. Dragons, writing
from Wachita river, Aug. ), gives the following
statement of the salt plain Of the prairies, which
we copy from the Cincinnati Gazette:
'"About 200 miles from Fort Gibson we came
to the great salt plain. This was one object OF
our journey, and the sight Of it was truly graft
flying. The bed Of the river (the Nescut1nra)
was widened, being near 6 miles in width. and
10 In length; the river running by one side of it
through small channel in the sand, while this
upper plain throughout was covered BY crust Of
salt as white as snow. We approached it thro,
the sand hills, and when within four of five miles
oft, the plain looked like an immense salt lake
which had dried up and left the salt in its bed
We found the salt to have aiocal origin; il comes
to the river III creek which is very salt
This overfiows the plain and leaves the water TO
chrystalize on the surface Heavy rains will
wash the salt away; but the overflow from the
creek comes at the same time to bring more salt
water for Disqualification. At this point we first
began to find buffalo.
Within two days journey Of the great salt
plain we came to the Salt Rock, as it is called.
We find it to be in the bed Of the Semirone. a
stream South of the the great plain is on. and
Is an immense spring of salt water, rising al the
base Of high clay hill, and boils up over space
of 100 acres, chrystalizing as fast as it reaches
the surface, forming rock of salt all over the
cove, so hard that we broke one mattock in vain
attempts to get mass Of it. The holes where
the water comes out are lined with salt. as far
down as the arm could reach.

Expectation Of Cheese.

cit is known that large quantities Of cheese arc
now exported to England; and the article, it ap-

of export to China. The first experiment in the
expectation ofthis article 10 Canton, says the N

The high tariffites should put stop to this ex-

The New York Bulletin states the following
facts in recording the recent marriage Of Mr..
John M. Batehelder, of Saco, Maine, to Mrs. E.
c. Beardsley, Of New York:
Something like year and half ago Mr.
Batchelder, the groom aforesaid, was united in
marriage to lady whose health was so delicate
that they Immediately set sail for Vera Cruz, in
the hope that the voyage would be beneficial to
her. They had for fellow passengers Mrs E.
Constanta Beardsley, the bride aforesaid who
was accompanying her then husband to Vera
Cruz for the improvement of his health. But
fate had ordained disappointment to both pr.
ties, and Mrs. Ratchelder and Mr.. ReardS1eY
both went the way ssof all fiesh.o The beresivc1
widower, as soon as propriety would admit, ~
dressed himself to the disconsolate widow, and
proposed, as consolation to their respective af-
hictions, that they should supply to each other
the places of their dear departed mates
But Mrs. Beardsley, for some cause or other
probably--of, as she is ,romaa, perhaps from
from no cause-declned the proposal But Mr..
Batchelder was determined not to remain in his

We published last week an Address of Hon John

States, warning them against the designs Of South
ern shareholders to annex Texas to the Union, for
the purpose of strengthening the "PatriaIchal In
stitution," and of perpetuntlng the of slavery
in these United States. But we are happy TO learn
that the Texans themselves are seriously contem-
plating measure which, if carried into effect, will
thwart this design of the South. We gather from
the New Orleans papers, that the Shareholders OF
Texas already taking measures to abolish slave
ry in that Republic. II is thought that slavery is
great hindrance TO their growth and prosperity
that it prevents immigration TO their country, par
Allies business and reduces the price of land Its
abolition, they think, viii Immediately cause the
price of their lands to rise invite settlers from the
Northern States and from England, and place them
IN other respects in more advantageous position
than they now occupy. This scheme is denounced
in good set terms by the Southern papers, as
iraught with evil to the South, and dangerous to
LIBERTY herself
We look upon this movement with intense inter-
est. Should the plan of abolisng slavery in Tex
be carried into effect, il would be a cheering sign
for the slaves Of our own country. Every step in
