TIE nnrrsIANA SALT.

OXFORD, Miss, October 8, 1862.
EDIToRs APPEAL The Louisiana rock salt
having become an object of rapidly increasing
public interest, and its quality as compared with
boiled salt, being the subject of great discussion,
herewith communicate an analysis 1 have made
of a specimen furnished me by Messrs. Allen &
EasOn, of your city. The result was the fol-
lowing:
Chloride Of Sodium common salD.......99 80 per cent.
Sulphste Of Lime (GypsumJ------------ Ol2
Chloride of Magnesium and Pc ssium....Trace
Another specimen of rock salt from Louisiana,
probably from the same, or a neighbOriug local
ity with the above, furnished me by P. H Skip
with, Esq, of New Orleans, yielded a similar
result.
The triAing amount Of one-tenth of a per
cent. of gypsum or plaster of paris, is, there
fore, the only appreciable impurity which this
salt contains; while the usual commercial salt is
usually contaminated to the extent Of two to
FIVE per cent, and even more, with foreign in
gradients, many of which exercise al unfavora-
bic influence, if not on the preservation, at least
on the palatability and digestibiity of sailed
meats. The Louisiana rock salt is, therefore,
eminently suited for all purposes that salt can
be applied to.
1t win be noticed in its use, that it does not
dissolve as rapidly in water, as do the artificial
salts, unless, indeed, it were previously ground.
This, however, is owing merely to the large siza
of its Jumps as compared with the grain of
boiled salt. Saturated bTiues made of either will
be equally strong IN the end.
Respectfully, EUG. ". HILGARD,
State Geologist.

TUE GUBEENATORzAL C0NCLAVE.
We publlsb this evening the address of the
governors OF tie Northern States to President
LINCOLN. It is a significant document, as
evincing q determination on their part to yield
the President their he atty and undivided sup
port in his usurpations and in the vigorous pros
ecution Of the war. They, like him, have but
one idea in view, and that is the s~utjugstion Of
the South. To accomplish this, they are willing,
with q hbersl hand, to furnish him men snd
means. To accomplish this, they shut their
eyes to az present and future consequences
override all private rights and constitutional
barriers, and seem willing themselves to ignore
all principles of free government and melt the
States into = centralized military desPOtism.
1t may seem strange to us that such should
be The case and that the people of the North
they who are themselves to become the slaves OF
the military despot-do not take the alarm. But
the iron grasp of the military handis already
upon them. The gag is upon their tongue and
they dare not speak. Obedience TO orders from
headquarters assail them on one side, and the
gloomy walls Of q prison greet them On the other,
They have their choice between the hard alter
natives, and mum is the word.
The leaders in the Norlh-the men who oe-
cupy high places-have before them the bland
ishments of A gilded aristoeraey, and as they
are to be the arstocIsts, they willingly forget
the principles Of republican liberty under which
they have been raised, and are not averse to the
substitution Of 8 dictatorship. With these ideas
and views in their heads, and having s~uRjugated
their army to implicit obedience. !. is an easy
matter to impose silence and inaction upon the
masses Of the people, who might be disposed to
retain the forms and principles of their govern
ment as it has been.
This address then, of the governors, is not
only significant, but big with meaning, in the
fact that it will enable the President to carry
forward his nefsTiORs purposes. 1t stiles all
opposition al home, and we begin to despair of
seeing q divided North on the war question It
has raised within US rather gloomy forebodings'
ard It a~dmonisbes Us, and should admonish the
whole South, that we must put forth our whole
strength to resist the tyranny that seeks our
overthrow.

u We publish this evening, with great
pleasure, a statement of the properties of the
recently discovered rock salt deposits in Louisi-
ana. This testimony from Mr.. Hilgard, as to
the purity of the inexhaustible quantity within
our control, will remove all fears as to our ability
to supply our wants in all time to come. We
would suggest that government at once take
steps to prevent spectators from operating to
control the market The article can be furnished
at a rate as reasonable as it was ever obtained.
and a strong arm should i~nterpOse to prevent
the public from being imposed upon by sharpers
who are already on the alert to reap personal
advantage.

In another column will be found the list of
deaths for the last two weeks, by which it will
be seen that while in certain localities the dis
ease has ragged with increased violence, in others
it has almost entirely sbsted. The mortality
among the troops (90th regiment N. Y. s. W
stationed here has indeed been fearful. The
regiment has only six companies stationed here
(tne other four being at Fort Jefferson, Tortu-

fifty, men and officers, out Of which have died
some sixty men sud officers, being nearly one
fifth of the whole command. The deaths among

entirely among the unacclimsted.
