TO Louisville--in all, 1853 trips. They
were all made with great regularity. She

you would almost imagine that she was

SALT.-On our first page may be found
some interesting statistics relative to the

errors in it, though none of very great
Importance. West Columbia is located

the article. The amount of salt manu-
factured here is fully one-third greater
than estimated by the writer. Salt is man
ufactured here BY steam evaporation. But
we have not time now to dwell longer OF
the subject.

Fourth OF July Ode.

DR.. RoBAoK's GREETING TO THE UNIVERSAL NATION.
Hail glorious day, beneath whose azure sky
giant nation from the womb OF Time
First sprung to life, and Liberty on high,
To an ndmiring world by right divine
Claimed the new-born as hers, while tyranny
Which blazed propitous land so free -------
As men and angels mingled hymns Of praise
All hail, Columbia; o'cr the rolling
Thy Stars and stripes in many a fearful fight
Have aoated proudly, while thy SONS brave,
With dauntless hearts and stern, resistess might,
Winning from despots of the oiden world
Fear and respect; long NAV thy name
Beam with bright hope thy nag be aye unfnrled.
But not in sanguinary wars red path,
No, rather in the cause OF peace and JOY
Not groans OF anguish, but the merry laugh
Should welcome to our land the blue eyed boy,
Be emptied on thy hills and wales so free,
Thus may thy children greet the natal morn
OF fair Columbia and Of Liberty.
Ruddy-eheeked health, with blessed, joyous train
From Roback's Swedish herbs nes direfui pain
Dyspepsa's bahied, and the trembling hand
or the poor nervous wretch no longer shakes;
From his famed Scandinavian remedies
Fever and ague quail, while health awakes,
And dire disease, with all its horror, nies-
Corrupted blood, pure as the limpid stream,
The dull Dyspeptic's eye with heaIthfui gieam
Sparkles, and rings the laugh in jollity.
Neuralgia, too, in all Its horrid guise,
Il cured q as certain as that day succeeds
All lung complaints before his remedy. ,...
Yet one more agent in this glorious strife
or battling Death, 10 called up Mt his will
Another new and tey0~s 1eese- eF life
Is brought by his Blood Purifier and Pill
To all who have acquired the horFid taiAt,
Acute chronic, as it chance to be
OF diseased liver. Quickly the complaint
Shall fly, ahd leave that organ whole and free.
Thus having to my patrons now proclaimed
The alth-inspirng virtues which possess
Those medicines throughout the land, famed
As having thousands upon thousands blessed,
bid you all adieu; and may this day
Be ever cherished by the free and brave,
And Freedoms sun, with bright and genial ray,
Still gild the stars which o,eT us proudly wave.
