MANUFACTURE or TEEra.-It is stated that Nj least
three millions of teeth annually made in this eoun-

of manufacture pursued at Of the most extensive
and celebrated establishments is the choosing Of the

these added various metallic oxides to produce any

We have been favored with v.at from Thos.
Spencer, Esq Of sysacuse, y. T., formerly the
State Superintendent Of the onondaga Salt
works. We understand that Mr. Spencer came
here By request Of the salt manufactures ut
Syracuse. Tor tue purpose Of exau'ning into the
truth Of tho statement contained in the report
pauy. Mr. Spencer spent 1t a pun Of two days
here in examining our we'll, tErin; the strength
Of the brine, &C., and expressed himself sails
fed that the statements in the nport With re-
gard TO the same were correct, and that our
prospects were moro dattcring, Hcn, than we
had clainicd-
=. We have brine enough staudin' at % degrees
to 81 degrees at present to makeover 5oO BUSH
els Of salt per day, md the quantity is constant;
II increasing. There is but iitti' doubt that all
the section Of country bordering upon the soF-
inaw river is underlaid BY tha ame salf roeS,
and that good salt wells can b obtained bT
boaring from 500 to 100 feet.
Mr.. Spencer Icayes to-day to ehn1ine the ealt
works At Grand Rapids.-East Snindto Courier.

Tie Adiutant- General Of Massachusetts,, in
lis official report, thus alludcs to some exptri-
1.cnts 1nude to tcs. the superiority Of rtlsd
cannon:
lsv recent experiments made with rifle cam
non. there cannot be doubt that it is rs int
portant 10 have cannon rl1ed as it is to rifle
s,,ali arms. by permission Of the Governor
and Council hare caused six FOUNDER bronze
cannon to be sitled, and, in company With au
officer Of the United States Ordnance Corps and
another Of the Navy, hare recently spent one
day in experimental gunue1y. 1t was proved
by actual experiment that With the smallest
service charge Of powder for six pound gun
Il! III an elongated or couical shot, weighing
i.,urtcen pounds, can be projected ut least one-
third further and with more elect and ut less
elevation thuu Is possible with smooth bore
{ c.nnon and round shot weighing six pounds.
The Boston 44drrtite has the following in
regard to the celebrated Armstrong gun:
The British Government is now making can
ron on the plan and under the direction Of SIR
William Armstrong, ut the ta1e OF nearly forty
u week, and is also preparing to rifle all tile cast
iron ordnance, of which it has an immense
ssore-erery gun which is rifed being hooped
with wrought non rings! put on when RED hot ,
aud shrunk on" thus increasing the strength
Of the gun four-fold.
The Armstrong gun, setting aside d small in
crease in the first cost, is The cheapest weapon
,et produced. 1t is stated that sn ordinary
Twelve FOUNDER field battery gun costs alto
cether K:oe, has range Of /, ,4cO yards, weighs
j? cwt, AM! requires Sic horses to draw it to
the field. The Armstrong twelye-pounders cost
1850, carries with precision 5,1ov yards, weighs
only ) c,yt., and requires but four horses aud
fever men than the former. Moreover, the
guns made on the old pattern are capable Of
firing onlv about 1,o00 rounds Of shot, while
tae Armstrong gun has fred $500 rounds with
out any apparent Injury or deterioration.
1t is interesting to know that in spite Of what
has been said Of the immensely long range Of
the Armstrong gun, no cannon has set been
made upon that pattern with the view Of attain
ing long range. So far, perfect accuracy Of
aim has alone been the object, and this has been
secured to m incredible extent, those who are
used to the gun protesting their ability to bit
without fail an object as large as man at the
distauce Of a mile. 4 one hundred FOUNDER
Armstrong gun is now being At Newcastle,
England, toF the express purpose Of attaining 4
long range, and is expected TO carry With pre-.
cision six miles and half. Ali these results Of
Tie Armstrong gun are obtliued witt little more
tran one-half the amount Of powder used in
common guns Of the same SIZE.

Correspondence OF tic I'rcsA and Tllt1ne1

Correspondence Of tic Press and Tlltune.1
OHAHe- February &c, 1sGo.
Tue recent action Of the Chicago Board or
Trade in regard to the necessity of facilitating
their intercourse with tile mining regions or
Western Nebraska. has induced me to offer q
few suggestions in regard to our mutual inter-
csts. Our geographical position, our former
associations, and our future prospects, lead us,
il this region, to look to Chicago as tie natural
mart for the supply Of most CT our commercial
wants. Heretofore the want Of convenient
transport from Chicago to this region Of country
direct has compelled onr merchants to*procurc
their supplies from St. Louis. and often at rates
considerably in advance Of Chicago prices. This
will necessarily continue to greater or less
extent until the Mississippi and Missouri Rail
road is completed, though even this, unless
pushed with new energy md opened soon, will
not recover for Chicago, at least for years, all
the trade Of this country which naturally be.
longs to it. Tie railroad from, St. Louis inter-
s.cting the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad
now brings St. Louis within fifty hours Of this
point, md leaving but 15o miles Of stage or river
trayel, makes us feel as il St. Louis was not far
distant. 10 reaen lineage direct VIC must
