valuable. The salt lies about one hundred and
fifty miles southeastward from Virginia City, and
fifty miles eastward from Aurora. 1t lies in bed,

area Of eight hundred acres or more. 1t is in the
shape of small crystals, and is dry and good, lying
to the depth of several feet. There is good natu-
raj road from Virginia City. The discoveries,
Charles Il. French, G.. w. johnson and X. 4. Mill

meralda and Washoe districts with it. Salt is used
extensively in silver mining.

SUCCESS OF GEN. MosQuERA BOGOTA.
Fortune has at last favored the brave.
We are advised, then, that after being 10 the
outskirts of Bo9nta and sustained siege almost
as long that of Troy, st last he has accomplish

1t seems that from the beginning of the present
month they had had skirmishes of more or less i'm
portance until the 18th, when, without malice pre-
pense hot action took place, which terminated in
the flight of the Government forces towards the city.
At3L O'Clock it was ordered that skirmishers
should be sent out from both wings of the army to
recnnnoitre the advanced posts of the enemy
They at perceived the move and sent all their
infantry to attack these small bands. The whole
of the first regiment on their side was so badly
matched by our eighty men that we had to send
out one hundred aud sixteen men more to reinforce
them This conflict had favorable termination for
US, forcing the enemy to make an attack with one
thousand six hundred men, two field pieces, and
three hundred horsemen. Then we brought up
the Heira regiment, and Il regular battle was
fought. Among the dead we find Col. Amaya and
five other officers
1t seems that 1t was dark by the time the victory
was won, so tfat II was not possible to follow the
