The Prairie din Chen Patriot, says-We
are informed by a gentleman, who, fifteen
years since, bad trading establishment
900 miles up the Minnesota river, that rock
salt was in cou,non use among The Sioux
Indians at that time, who said it was found
in large quantities back in the interior of
their couulry. 1t is not Impossible that
mines of this article, as extensive AS those
of Cracow, are now hidden beneath the
rolling prairiss Of Minnesota, west Of the
Mississippi. ei fao' 81 43fi 'sFn iaa

Jenny Lind, is undoubtedly the most
popular woman in the world. Ii Bona
parte should arise from his tomb, his appear
ance could not excite greater enthusam.--
The n. Y. Herald thus speaks of Jenny
Limbs first concert in that city: ..
Jenny Lind was now face To face, for the
first time, with an American audience--the
largest before which she had ever sung any
where-makipg her debut in the new world
where such high expectations had been
formed Of her. She tremiled from head to
foot, turned deadly pale, and the drops of
perspiration ran down her face like rain.
She had been detected all the evening, lest
she should not come up TO her own high
standard of surprising excellence; but when
she actually came before the audience her
heart sunk within her, nor did the hurri-
cane ofapplause with which she was greet
ed, sufficiently restore her tranquility in
time to permit her to sing the ''Casta Diva"
as she sung it at the TWO rehearsals. When
she made her appearance on the stage, there
was a universal burst of cheering. which
lasted several minutes, the audience all rs-
ing, and waving their hats and handker-
chiefs, and casting shower of bouquets AT
her feet. After the first tumult subsidized,
and she came forward 10 her position to
sing, she was welcomed with another tre-
rnendous burst of enthusiasm. She looked
well, and was very chastely dressed. In
the first part of the "Casta Diva" as we
have already said, she faltered, evidently
from the excitement under which she la
bored; but as she proceeded, her selt-pos-
session returned, the sound of her voice
seeming TO act like magic upon her. IN the
concluding line Of the second stanZa, the
audience began to feel her power, where
her voice died away in most angelic
whisper, and then rose in swell that eleG-
rrified the house. The enthusiastic applause
she received here, lent her an impulse which
brought her well through TO the close, " hen
she again became quiet, and executed a ca-
denZa with such thrilling effect, that the
audience carried away hy ,..eir feelings,
drowned the most effective part Of it in !,
storm ofarplaause. .... ..- !:
The Somnambules of Paris, who short
time since were predicting the arrival Of
Henry Cling, are now prophesying the ele-
walton Of some one (the President, perhsps)
TO the imperial throne Of France, with a
companion empress, beside whom sits the
Emperor of Russia. 1t is shrewdiy surmised
that the prophets obey the orders of the pc
lice.
1t is stated that the Globe newspaper al
Washington is bought into the Bentonia,,
interest. Col. Fremont's purse is pledged
to sustain it.
Geo. Copway, the American Indian, was
in Liverpool and attended the last Concert
given by Jenny Lind. After the hall was
perfectly full, he obtained entrance 10y has
ing it announced that ''the Indian ChieE''
desired admittance. Until the songstress
appeared, CONWAY and his Indian dress
were the subjects Of general curiosity. =
