SALT.--Soon after our last issue went to press we
learned that the scheme of our worthy county
man. Maj. Russ, to procure salt from the salt
works in Virginia for our people had been de-
ieated. The proprietor informed the Major that
they could not fill his order, because of the de-
mands of the Government and other previous en-
gagements, which could not be supplied in the next
two months Mr. VIM. Cross of Gates county, be-
sides thirty others, we observe, met with similar
Disappointment The reliance of the people must
therefore rest upon some provision to be made by

GEN HnL.-The Washington Dispatch expresses
much regret at the removal of Gen. Hill from the
command of our Northern sea coast defences. All
who reflect rightly upon the necessity of having
military skill and efficiency in that section, must
regret it, The Dipatch suggests the propricty of
dividing the Northern District into two military de-
PaltInenls. 1t is good idea, and will become alb
SoIuteIy necessary, should the enemy make his ap-
Pearance IN that quarter in large force.

victory must incline to the side which can boast the
