The INVASION NONSENSE REBuKED.-
The Missouri Statesman. published in Boone
county Missouri, rebukes the talk f inva-
sion of the States, in which some Northern
traitors indulge, in good sound style as follows:
" Pray, where does the Federal army belong,
if not to the States? Where can it raise its
ensign, and legally pitch its tents, if not in the
States If out of the States, it would be in
a foreign country, and what right has it there?
As a general principle of law, there is no other
place for the Federal army except in the
States belonging to the Federal Government.
Missouri is one of these But Missouri is in
vaded. Invaded Whoever before heard of
Government invading itself? Who ever be-
fore heard of q man invading his own house
Missouri is yet part of the household of the
Union is yet as much part of the domain
of the Federal Government as the ground upon
which the Capitol stands, as the District of
Columbia, or the State of Massachusetts,.

the foundation OF the Russian Empire. which
they intend TO celebrate with one of their

probably be very magnificent and the recent

LOWER CALIFORNIA.-A correspondent OF
the Los angeles Star, writing from San
Diego, October oath, says:
Warlike preparations are again being
made iu Lower California. The cause is
said to be report circulated here about a
week ago, that Espersa, late Governor of
Lower California, was in Los Angeles rails
ing men for the purpose of overthrowing
the present Government, and reinstatng
himself in authority down there. An exo-
dus of the people, not unlike that of the
Israelites from Egypt, is now taking place
from that country into this and adjoining
counties of this State, leaving nothing there
but the military forces of the province.
They are said TO be in a good state of dis
cipline, aud we'll supplied with the needfuI
slnews of war, under the management of
j. Matias Moreno, the present Governor.
Taking these reports as granted, we may
look for some stirring war news from that
section soon.

The Coal FIELD IN WAsHAoE.-It has re-
Gently been found that the coal indications
extend to the north and south of the origin.
al Whitman claim, distance of two OF
three miles, making the entire range over
which good signs are met with fully five
miles long, and about two and half wide.
Quite a number of claims have lately been
surv eyed for different parties along FL Do
rado canon, though we do not hear that any
genuine vein has yet been struck in that
vicinity. The heaviest deposit so far dis
covered is on Col. Whitman's grounds, tho
several other claims adjoining his on the
north promise equally well. The report
of coal having been found in the Flowery
DistricG, started short time since, seems
to lack confirmation though the Whitman
coal field evidently stretches that way, aHd
the article will probably yet be found in
that district, at greater depth than on the
elevated lands further south.-(Silver Age.

Port Royal Entrance and Beaufort,

The latest news tells that our fleets were
bombarding at these two points. Port Roy
al Entrance is the entrance to Broad River,
between Port Royal Island, on which
Beaufort is located. aud the main land.
and is also the entrance to Beaufort river.
which empties into Broad river. The town
of Beaufort is located at the head of navi-
cation on Beaufort river, and is about six-
teen miles from the sea. 1t is the main
town of the Beaufort district, South Caro-
lina-the most southern seaboard district
of that State-and in 1850 had white pop-
ulatiOn of 879 persons. There are three
channels over the bar at the mouth Of
Broad river, as shown by the Coast Survey
of 1855. The bar is some ten miles from
the headlands. The east channel has sew
enteen feet of water at mean low tide the
southeast channel, nineteen feet at mean
low tide, and the south channel nineteen
feet also while beyond that, all the way
up to Beaufort, the river has not less than
fifteen feet. This depth would permit the
largest vessels to enter at high water
There is fine supply of excellent fresh
water near the junction of Beaufort river
with Broad river. The Charleston and Sa-
vannah railroad runs inland about fifteen
miles from Beaufort, and there is good
country road from Beaufort to it, the dis.
tanCe thereby being some eighteen miles.
The entire length of the railroad from
Charleston to Savannah is 104 miles, and
the Beaufort county road will strike it
about two-tbirds of that distance from
Charleston. This railroad links on to all
the other railroads in the South.
Inside the bar the harbor is very fine, and
that, in connection with complete posses
sion of Port Royal Island or st. Helena Is
land. which is still nearer the sea, might be-
made fine basis of operations against the
rebelliOus cities of Charleston and Savan-
nah. The news Of the feet lowering on
their coast has startled the South Carolini-
ans and Georgians, and they are running
hither and thither to meet it, not knowing
where it may strike.-[Sac. Bee.

and having the capacity to manufacture
four hundred barrels Of -four in twenty-four
hours. The fall of water from the point at
which the stream is diverted for mill use, il

FRANCE TURNING THE TABLES ON RUSSIA.
"A new French pamphlet, entitled The
Rhine and the Vistula, and ascribed to very
high inspiration, has appeared in Paris. 1t
protests that France does not want the
Rhine; that consequently Germany has
nothing to fear from her; but, as regards
the Vstula, it argues that Russia has de-
signs in that direction, and France merely
watches her opportunity to guard herself
against Russia. Germany should eucour-
age a reconstruction of Poland. The pam
phlet is regarded as an effort to propitiate
the King of Prussia on bis approaching
visit and allay the apprehension of Ger
many.

CoLT's New ARMORY.-Colt, of pistol
fame, has commenced the erection of a new
armory in Hartford. Connecticut. Itis 500
feet long by so feet wide, three stories high
and of brick. In addition to this main
building, the blacksmith's shop, etc, will
be erected outside. This new armory is
complete counterpart of the old one, and
adjoins it; 20 that when the two are together
the armory will be 1000 feet long by 80
feet wide, and three stories high. At present
he turns out 5000 firearms per mouth, but
with the new building in addition, be can
turn out well on to 10000. Two thousand
hands will be employed inside the works.

SALT IN THE SoUTH.-Tbe Scientific Amer
ican says the statements regarding a want
of salt in the South are incorrect. 1t is
supposed that the South is entirely depen-
dent upon the North or foreign importation
for its supply of this necessary substance,
but this is not the case. Next to New York
Virginia makes the greatest quantity of salt
annually of any State in the Union. The
amount manufactured by New York is
5,5O3,447 bushels per annum: by Virginia.
$3.50, 900 bushels, by Florida, 10000. Salt
is manufactured in eleven States, the total
product being l3,3s8.447 bushels. But as
that is not quite half the amount that is re-
quired for use. we import l4,094,227 bush
els, of which lO,335, ,256 came from Eng
land.
