THE GREAT SALT MINES IN THE MOUNTAINS G

flhGlNlA
Thesenate of Virginia is moving in the great
work of internal improvement, and is making a
railroad that will reach the great salt mines of its
mountains, and in few years that salt will be dis
tributed over the whole of the eastern States It's
superior quality will ensure for it ready sale every
where; for it is better worth one dollar per bushel
for table use than any other salt that ever came to
our market is worth twenty-five cents. 1t is pure
chloride of sodium, and will remain as dry as -four
in any latitude from the equator to the pole
This great salt mine is in a trough between two
mountains, at an elevation OF one thousand eisht
hundred and eighty feet above the level of the sea-
and near the waters of the North fork of the Hos-
ton River, a tribute of the River Tennessee, and
near the line of the States of Kentucky, Tennes.
see and North Carolina, where these border on a
Southwestern point Of the State of Virginia.
The fossil salt lies about 900 feet below the sur
face of the ground and is encased in deposit OF
gypsum.
About ten years since, two boxes of geological
specimens were sent to me from these mines and
from the surrounding country. In repacking these
into other boxes, some pieces Of the fossil were put
into box with specimens Of iron ore from the
great iron ore beds of Northern New York, and
remained in that connection until the present year.
On being opened, the specimens were all in good
order the salt not having corroded the iron or pro-
duced any rust.
have no doubt that this deposit OF salt resulted
from volcanic action. New River the head of one
of the great tributaries of the Kanawha River, is
near this salt mine, and is undoubtedly the source
of the saline supplies Of the deep wells of Kama
wha, but in its course thither, it undergoes a
change, and when raised from the deep wells is
found there to contain bromene in great abundance
The Kanawha salines are among the wonders of
the world the salt water comes to the surface from
a depth Of two thousand feet, and is as cold as
northern blast in winter-thus exploding the theory
that the heat increases in the earth everywhere as
progress is made downward.
The gas which is issued from these deep wells
Is in abundance sufficient to illuminate the entire
Northern Hemisphere, and rises with force that
is sufficient to throw a cannon ball considerable
distance.
In the excavation made in the ueghborhood of
the salt mines Of Virginia the bones of the Bohe-
moth are found of size indicating as large as the
hull of ship of the line
| have no doubt the table salt of our market WILL
in three years be supplied by the Virginia Salt
Mines, and even now, our grocers cannot do bet
ter than to send to the Salt Mines of Virginia for
pure table salt for the supply for their customers
who want good article. E. merriam.

coffee rooster, and had contracted with the deien-

COL. JORpON STOKES.


The Lebanon Herald strongly advocates the nomi-
nation of Col JoRDoN Strokes, of Wilson, as the
wing candidate for Governor The Franklin Repie,p
approves the suggestion Col. Strokes is an ex-
perienced politician, an able debator, and a most
courteous and afable gentleman; but he stands no
chance Tor the wing nomination He has been
loyal, steadfast and devoted whig in the hour of
disaster and defeat, as we'll as the moment of VIC
tory, he has been faithful and true to his party and
its chosen chiefs. Such man can never be select
ed as the wing candidate for Governor Of Tennessee
The ambitious wing who desires to commend him
self to his political friends must at some period Of
great excitement, desert his party, rample upon its
ancient usages and refuse to support its nomina-
lions, and'ether openly or privately give aid aud
comfort TO the democracy. We do not complain
Of this; on the contrary We rejoice. 1t is the
forced homage which its most vigorous opponents
are compelled to pay to The great ideas and princ-
pies of the democratic party.
A CoLoRED KNOW NOTHING-MORE AMERICAN
NATIONALITY"
The Washington Union says that the opposition
to the democracy in New Hampshire is marked by
new element, which shows the desperation with
which the warfare IS being waged A reverend
and colored gentleman" has been brought into the
State and is lccturing 'the awful perils await
ing the country from slavery and Popery" cor
respondent Of the New Hampshire Patriot gives
the substance of his speech in Concord in these
words Now, frens, jes 50 long as de people 'tinue
to countenance dem good 70 muffin foreigners, jes
so long we poor colOred pussons, Massa Fogg, and
de whole liberty party, will be Of no account
The editor of the New Hampshire Patriot com.
ments on this new movement of the opposition as
follows:
ave hear ofthil black slanderer in various towns
in this vicinity, and all accounts agree that his lee
lures are made up of coarse blackguardism of the
President and the democratic party, and ridiculous
nonsense in regard to negroes and foreigners. A
correspondent at Pembroke informs us that in that
town he INDUCED in shameful attack upon the
morals and intelligence of New Hampshire people
in general, and Franklin Pierce in particular Hav-
ing received the applause of few leading wings
and aboltionists for this service rendered Them he
next proceeded to amuse himself with rigmarole
Of vituperston against Catholics, and wound up
by expatiatng upon tie intellectual capacity Of
negroes and wishing success TO the knOw-nothlngs
And our correspondent adds that 1T was the most
ridiculous display OF thick Tipped eloquence that
ever exhausted the patience OF an enlightened au.
dience and that if the enemies Of the democracy
expect to reap any advantage from the vain bah
bling OF such ilhteTate BLACKBOARD, they will find
that they have made a great mistake"
