TERRIFIC BOMBARDMENT!,
W. ". DIVINE.

SATURDAY, a. M.-At four O'Clock this
morning the entire Federal feet assisted by
a park of artillery which had been placed
across the river, opened most rerrifc fire
on our batteries and the city. The feet with
the exception of the mortar boats came slow
ly up the river and presented almost one
continuous sheet of fame. The scene
throughout the city was awful beyond de-
scription. Almost every house was struck.
Our batteries kept up continuous roar,
with good effect, striking frequently. The
flagship and other vessels, together with a
number of gunboats passed up, and are now
above the bend. As we write the shells are
exploding around us from the gun and NOR
tar boats below. 1t is reported that several
men were injured at the upper battery. From
the lower batteries we hear nothing.
We are looking momentariIy for the ap-
pearance of the up-riyer feet, whose smoke
is pairly visible above the bend Oar de-
voted city will then be subjected to the mer-
CHESS fire of fifty or sixty gunboats, carrying
the heaviest guns manufactured. SO far as
we have observed there is no panic, &
element, but with herosm beyond praise
our citizens unfinchingy view the demoli-
ton of their homes, and show TO the enemy
and the world that while we may lose ALL
even life itself, the priceless boon OF liberty
can never be wruug from our hearts. Oar
troops are covering themselves with glory,
ana Generals Van Dorm and Smith are prov
ing themselves to be the right men in the
right places. Thank heaven, the command
of this department is now placed in hands
in which tue people can and do repose the
utmost confidence.
Last evenir 9, about g o'clock, the enemy
again renewed the bombardment of the day,
ana continued il for upwards of an hour,
throwing hundreds of she'll. We know Of
no damage resulting, except few frame Ten
ements in the lower end of the city, and
them but slight WAY, 28H ut.

LATER.

Ga Monday at o'clock P. NJ, the enemy
re-opened their mortars and kept MP a con-
slant fire with the exception Of IN hour or
two, apparently to take their meals, during
the whole night, and did not cease til Tues
day evening at o'clock.
All was quiet this (Wednesd day morning
at 10 o'clock. We have not heard Of any
injury being sustained by our batteries mp
to this morning.
The feet which passed by the city on the
memorable morning of Saturday was severe
ly cut to pieces by our batteries, and gen
tleman who was in the vicinity of the upper
batteries reports to Gen. Van Dorm that one
of the boats sunk after it went round the
bend.
Nothing is now to be seen of this feet
above the city except the constant cloud of
black smoke which ascends above the forest
around the bend.-NississPpta I'd inst.

RA1lnoAD AccIDENr.-On Friday morning
last, near Goodman, the cars on the Missis-
sippi Central Railroad ran off the track, caus-
ing a general wreck of the train, by which
three soldiers and a negro man were killed,
and several others wounded, more or less
severely. Among the latter was Mr.. Miller,
formerly stage driver between this place and
IIiHsboro, but recently employed on the road
in some capacity, whose leg was badly bro
ken The negro killed was a valuable fell
low belonging to Capt. VIM. Priestly. The
accident was caused, learn, by some one
having meddled with = switch " and left it
IN a wrong position.

DEATH OF GENERAL RICHARD GRIFFITH.-
Among the many gallant Mississippians who
have fallen in the late battles near Rich
mond, and whose death we are called to
mourn, is Gen. Richard Griffith who com
manded the Brigade from this State to which
the 18th Regiment is attached Gen. Grit
fth,s Brigade was not in the fight but was
drawn up in line of battle, and held in reserve,
when he was struck by random shell, from
the effect of which he died after lingering ten
hours.
In short notice of the painful event, the
Mississippian says:
Neither time nor space will admit of an
extended notice Of the virtues which adorned
the life of one who was endeared to all who
knew him by native generosity of soul
which elevated him above the envy and ri
valry which too often mark the course of
military chieftains. Faithful to every trust.

MILL BURNr-We did not learn until a
day or two since, that the saw mill of Mr.. T.
J. Smith, near jacksonville, in this county,
was entirely consumed by fire on Monday,
23d ult. The burning occurred in the broad
blaze of midday, and was evidently the work
of an incendary, as there had been no FIRE
about the mill for several days previously.
We have heard no estimate of Mr.. Smith
loss, bat it must be considerable, as the mill
was propelled by steam, and all the lumber
was destroyed save a small lot of framing.

SALT MAKISC.-We learn that Col. John
Robinson, CT this county, has been quite sue
cessful in obtaining salt from the earth taken
from the floor Of one Of his smokehouses
The process is the same as that heretofore
described-that of the chopper" the same as
in making ley Before being placed in the
hopper the earth was thoroughly pulverised;
the drip2ings were then boiled down, and
from four barrels of earth, four bushels of salt
were obtained. From Ais several meathouses
Col. Robinson expects to obtain sufficient
salt to cure all his 1ncat next winter With
salt at fifty dollars per sack-the rate at
which it now sells IN this pIace-it would
be we'll for every man who has a smokehouse,
especially the large meat-raisers, to follow
Col. Robinson's example, and try the expert
ment of making their own salt 1t might
prove a profitable business
This is the best notice we are enabled to
make of the salt manufacturing aforesaid at
the present time. Had the Colonel sent along
with the information a small sample of the
saline substance-say peck, peck and half
or half a bushel-we could doubtless have
done little better. We forgot to mention,
however, that the salt is said to be white and
of good quality

The good people hereabout were favored
with two or three slight showers of rain on
