TnIRTY~SM THIRTY" The reader
who is curious to know exactly where this
oftmentioned line runs, will get a clear
idea of it by taking the may and tracing
it as follows: 1t commences a. the point
Of the Atlantic coast where the dividing
line between Virginia and North Carolina
commences; passes along the line dividing
those States along the line between Ten
nessee and Kentucky along the line be-
tween the States of Missouri and Arkan>
sas thence through the Territory of the
Cherokee Nation, through New Mexico,
striking the eastern boundary of the State
Of California, a short distance south of the
middle, striking the Pacific short dis
tance south of Monterey Bay. On the
south of that line there are about 100000
square miles, including Indian reserva-
tons, while on the north there are about
i 800, 900 square miles.

~Thomas Starr King, in lette

EyThonas Starr King, in letter
about the California gold region to the
Boston Transcript, says:
1t is an area equal to the whole of
New England, and its riches scarcely
touched as yet. There is no more dan>
ger that the wheat produce will give out
than that the gold harvest will. The hy-
draulic pipes, fed by six thousand miles of
aqueduct, may pour out their wrath with
out stint ; the three hundred quartz mills,
that cost 50, 100000, may roar day and
night, without fear of draining the yellow
crop. 1t is said by some geo!ogsis here
that ,be,e are single quartz veins in the
State which contain more gold than is at
present in circulation in all the world"

Terrible Spectacle.

A traveller in South America writes ::
In the savannahs of IZacubo, Guiana,
saw the most terrible spectacle that can
be seen aud though it is not uncommon
to the inhabitants, no traveller has ever
mentioned it. We were ten men on horse
back, two of whom took the lead, in order
TO sound the passage, while preferred to
skirt the great forest. One of the blacks
who formed the vanguard returned at fall
gallop, and called to me. Here sir,
come and see the serpents in pile" He
pointed to me something elevated in the
middle Of the savannah or swamp, which
looked like bundle of arms.
One of the cor pany then said. This
is certainly one of the assemblsges Of sell
pents which heap themselves on each other
after violent storm [ have heard of
these, but have never seen any let us
proceed cautiously and not get too neal" ;"
We were within twenty PAGES of it; !; the
terror of our horses prevented our nearer
approach, to which none of US were inclin
ed. On sudden the pyramid mass be-
came agitated horrible hissings issued
from it. Thousands Of serpents, rolled
spiralIy on each other, shot forth out of
their circle their hideous heads, and pre-
sented their enormous darts and fiery eyes
10 us. ..u ..r..
| own was one of the first to draw
back but when | saw this Formidable phal-
anx remaining at its post, and appearing
to be more disposed 10 defend itself than
TO attack US, [ rode around in order to view
its order Of battle on every side. | then
thought what would be the design OF this
numerous assemblage, and | concluded
that species Of serpents dreaded some
enemy, which might be the great serpent
or cayman aud that they reunited them
selves after seeing this enemy, in order to
resist in a mass.

Cosr OF BoMBARDINc.-A letter from
Charleston to the New Orleans Dolta,
gives the following item of the expense to
be incurred in the siege of Sumpter ::
&" Every gun fred from Fort Sumpter costs
on the average, thirteen dollars. Every
gun fired by the State will bo an average
expenditure Of nine dollars. A prominent
officer of Fort Moultrie informs me that,
by close calculation, it has been ascer-
taiued that when its batteries open, the
cost per diem to the State, at that fort
alone, will exceed $4,000. Pretty heavy,
that. But tais is the surest way of mas
tering the fort, and We had batter spend
money than lives in its acquisition"

ECONOMY IN THE USE OF SALT.

The high price and scarcity of salt, induces us to
offer few suggestions showing how large quaint
ty of fresh meat may be cured and preserved with
small quantity of salt
On the pampas Of Brazil, remote from the sea, fat
cattle arc slaughtered in large number and much of
their flesh is cured by simply drying it in the sun
and open air without any salt whatever. Dry flesh
nerer tdints in dry temperature, because that
chemical decomposition in the particles Of the flesh
which evolves the gases known as faint or sinking
meat cannot take place in solids having no free mo-
ton between their atoms. As this is an important
chemical law applicable to domestic enconomy in
many cases beside the cheap and safe preservation
of meat, We shall take the trouble to make it clear
and plain to every reader. Suppose farmer makes
part Of pine tree into fence rails which are laid
on the ground in building fence; they will rot in
few years from the presence of moisture and at
mospheric air. A part of the same tree is sawed
into plank and made into a bureau, which, being
kept In dry room will never rot, but last many
generations, although surrounded by the same at
moSpheric air that decomposes the wet fence rails
Dry peaches in dry atmosphere never spoil from
any chemical change; while ripe peaches full Of
juice keep no longer than beefsteak in o similar
condition.
Last year we killed bullock in September when
the weather was hot and dry The meat was cured
with trAe of salt; and we have some Of it now,
which sweet and gootfas any dried beef can be.
All the larger bones cut out and partly used
for making soup and partly for making soap. The
rib pieces were dried with the bones in the meat,
which was generally cut into Slices The drying
was done over wood coal fire. and not over wood
fre-a distinction worth remembering. Green wood
contains some forty per cent Of its weight Of mo's
ture, which forms watery vapor when burning;
and even dry wood has over forty per cent Of the
elements Of water oxygen and hydrogen, that forms
vapour when such wood is burnt. Coal consists
mainly of the carbon in wood which in burn.
| ing forms very drying heat Most Of our
readers are familiar with the usual process of
barbecuing large pieces of meat over GOALS lfsuch
meat were too high above the coal fire to roast it
would soon dry; when dry very little smoking
and salt will keep it indefinitely. Like cured bacon
it should be packed in tight casks and kept in adry
room.
After kills his hogs, if he is short of salt let
him get the water out of the meat by drying it over
burning Goals as soon possible, first rubbing it
in little SALT Shade trees around meat house
are injurious by creating dampness. Dry meat with
coal fire after it IS smoked. You may dislike to
have meat so dry as is suggested, but your own OBJ
servaton yill tell you that the dryest hams gener'
ally keep the best. Certainly, sweet dry bacon Is
far better than moist tainted bacon; and our aim
simply to show how meat may be cured, and long
kept with trihe of salt when war has rendered the
latter very scarce and expensive.

eminent. Then why, he asked, should We not
come forward with the same solemnity, and take
like oath? Instead Of strengthening it would eter-
nally Danish any suspicion of the loyalty Of our
people. 1t was objected that we are morally bound
already. Why, then, not take the oath 1t was
not intended to operate on such as were morally
bound, but did any doubt that there we're those
among who felt the force Of no such obligation.
These should be made, as tae ordinance proposes,
to take the oath or leave the State. 1t might be
asked, why not cOnfine it to suspected persons,
only~ and to this he replied, that such restric
ton would create strife, contention and tumult-
lts universal application would prevent this. Some
wished to know why this measure not pro-
posed at the last session of the Convention? Ills
answer was that then there was no evidence Of
the existence of dsloyalty among our people"
In conclusion, he asked, why not pass this ordi-
nance? Does it offer any indgnity to the citizen?
No. Are we unwilling to takeit! No. Who will
it improperly or inuriously affect? Only those in
heart and soul against us in this controversy
Ought we then to hesitate to pass ito drag trea-
Bon to the light Of day, and brand it with infamy
Mr.. Leak Of Richmond, arose with great reluc.
lance to oppose the measure for he belonged to the
same school in politics with his friend from Martini
and in the past they had seldom differed But
this ordinance was wholly uncalled for. Was
its object to create loyalty! Where, he asked, did
greater unanmity exist in opposing the tyranny Of
Lincoln than in North Carolina? T. The revolution

Thousands had come over from England with the
