EDITOR JOURNAL: In looking over the
journal of the 0th inst, | see that salt has
been fonnd III Marion county, Indiana, which
induces me to say something about the
Madre Lagoon, about four miles South Of
this city. Ten miles distant, the Lagoon
commences and runs due South for over one
hundred miles. The Lagoon divides the
main band from Padre Island, and varies in
width from two to eight miles. The Island
shore is quite fiat, and i'll high tides, the
water covers vast quantities of land that,
in low tide, is covered with salt from two to
ten inches in depth. After !; few weeks of
drouth, the deposit is much greater, and the
whole bottom of The Lagoon is covered with
salt from six to twelve inches in depth,-a
quantity sufficient to dam up the Ohio river,
so that you could run railroads across it.
These deposits extend down the Lagoon for
fifty or sixty miles. That which collects
under water, is the pure chloride of Sodium !;
it IS the prettiest and whitest salt / ever
saW. Tins Lagoon is the Leviathan of NIL
salt works. Many places ia the Lagoon are
found large irregular rocks, which raise
their heads above water in many places in
low tides Their formation is ealcareous
earth, or a kind oflimestone. These are the
only rocks on this coast, and considered
quite phenomena. Let some geologist
solve the problem, whence came these rocks
and this wonderful deposit of salt.
Eighteen miles from here, on the Lagoon,
is the famous LaureLeS tract of land, con-
tanning sixty thousand acres, owned by f..
Y. CARLILE. On this tract of land is found
the greatest salt deposit. The land is already
worth from to three dollars per acre,
and should-as undoubtedly there will be
ere long-a channel en- to the gulf; there
would he market for the salt, and the land
would increase much i'll value. \ wagon
load containing eighty bushels OF salt, can
now De purchased for four dollars.

tent to which ertising is done by
the merchants of that city:
The merchants Of New Orleans
are far more liberal in advertising
than those of your city, and it is
they alone who support most Of our
papers. One firm in this city, in
the drug buyiness, spends $4,000 a
year in job printingand $4,000 in ad-
vertising. A clothing firm has ex-
pended $500 in advertising within
six months. Both establishments are
now enjoying the lions share of
patronage, and are determined to
