Salt.


We had the pleasure of meeting this morning Pro
lessor r. Thomassy gentleman of scientific skill end
practical the superintendent of Salt Works
In both hemispheres.
Mr. Thomasy is no bogus professor but truly scien-
entifc French Chemist, as his articles upon this and
other subjects in DeBows Review, and in the Charles
ton, New Orleans, Savannah and Richmond papers
abundantly testify.
Salt must be made. It's real and still more its assumed
scarcity are rapidly making it bear worse than famine
prices 1t must be made at once. This necessity the
practical State Of Georgia recognised by passing act
giving Mr. Thomassy the use of all the land on Tybee
Island belonging to the State, and allowing him to own
and transfer real estate for the purpose of carrying on
his process of making Sea Salt.
We understand that the authorities at Charleston
whether State or city do not know have offered Mr
T. the use of the public lands Morris Island for the
same purpose. No doubt Tybee or Morris Island would
answer very WELL in usual times but their exposed posi-
ton is supposed to seriously impair their value oca
tons in time Of war; while the shallow sounds along the
coast of North Carolina at short distance from Will
mington, afford locations comparatively inaccessible
attack from the sea- and the very slight drainage o
fresh water into these sounds hardly sufficient to sens
considered this coast probably affords the best location
under existing circumstances along the whole shore lire
of the Confederate States.
Salt has already gone up to almost fabulous prices il
Richmond, and unless production is Immediately com
menced, may go up to point that will amount to
virtual DEPRIVATION attended with the most seriou
results.
Mr.. T. will probably to-day visit some of our mos
nearest sounds with the view of seeing the locations
their sutabiities He would engage WITH any gentle
men of enterprise and capital in the erection and super
intendence of saltworkS which, according to his fig
ures and the result of his experience must prove vau
abue property at any time and in time of war high
so besides aOrding incacuable service in supplying th
Indispensable necessities OF the country.

r. THOMASSY,

please address him.

WE ARE PLEASED TO LEARN that since the occupation
of Forts Caswel and Johnson not single has died
at either Fort. This is unusual and gratifying Some
few deaths have taken place among the troops stationed
in town previous to their being ordered to any of the
camps Forts but among those n actual service
Even including these the deaths have been less than
average among equal number of citizens living al
home When it is borne in mind that there have beer
at different times companies from the upper counties
the State generally claimed to be healthier than the low
country, and whose members not at all accimaet
here this fact will go far to show that the common no
ton about the unhealthness of this region of the State
is only notion The health of the men has also beer
good The men have had hard work, and not the daint
lest fair but they have stood it like men. They have
had but one grevous want. They have been badly il
want of brush with the enemy.
We need hardly add that the general good health
prevailing among the troops reflects credit on the off
GERS in command.

IT WOULD SEEM that they have at last succeeded in
killing General Lyons ont in Missouri We thought the
ninth time would bring him, and it cid.
1t would also appear that the Federalists have suf-
ered most crushing defeat in the neighbourhood Of
Springfield The impulse under which Zsgle made such
good time from Springfield, will be more fully un-
derstood. General Lyon was regular general-a West
Point graduate and he had all the regulars from Fort
Leavenworth and elsewhere around, to support him.
They are used up and in truth the appearance of things
in that section improves rapidly. Springfield was to be
the rendezvous for large force to be employed in the
subiugaon of Arkansas and Texas. 1t will hardly
swer that purpose yet while. The Germans who he'd
been drawn into this against Missouri by the in
famatory appeals OF the demagogue Schuz, the philo
sopher Boernstein, formerly editor of German Repub
can paper in st. Louis the professional fighter lei
gle, are getting out OF it fast they can. If the
Lincolne troops to subdue Missouri, they must
do it their hook, and at their trouble and
expense The residents of Missouri will longer play
into their hands. The bogus Governor Gamble will
have to leave and Governor jackson who has issued his
proclamation declaring Missouri separated from the
Lincoln government will be renstated and endorsed.

Farewell dear gray we're 10th to part,

Must be obeyed by and me.
