EAST SAGINAW SALT.-The first consign-

this market, Is advertised by R. McChesney,
No. Dole's building. in our columns this
morning. It. is manufactured By the East
Saginaw Salt Manufacturing Company, Aflchi-
gaH. This company has now capacity for
producing $50 barrels Of salt daily, and this
amount they intend to considerably increase
during the spring and summer. An analysis
of this salt, made By Prof Cook, Of Rutgers
College, New Jersey, proves it to be every
WY equal to the salt produced at the Salina
works. sample was exhibited at the Me-
chanics' Association Fair at Utica, New York,
and 50 nearly alike were the specimens ex-
hibited By the salina and Saginaw works, that
the Committee were unable to decide which
was entitled to the premium, and each receiy-
ed a diploma. The Saginaw Ealt works are a
western enterprise, and should receive the en-
coursgement of the western people. VIC
be compelled to 60 no farther east than that
locality for all the salt We sha11 need.

had been on detail in the hospital
Hearing that Col. Roberts was wounded, |
was sent with two others with stretcher
to bring HIM away. got there in the
thickest of the fight.
The next day some of the rebel officers
came in with white flag asking permits
aion to bury their dead. You will see by
this that the field was still ours. They
wanted four days in which to do the work.
They were sent back empty handed. The
next day our men with goodly number
of negroes commenced the job and finished
it. They reported 400 of the enemy as
found dead. One hundred prisoners were
taken and sent to New Orleans. The
wounded were brought into ou1 hospital
and kindly cared for.
The enemy are reported as reinforced
by 1900. Our orders from headquarters
were to hold the place if possible, if not
to destroy the town and then start down
the river We think we can stand our
l ground. Our men seem determined.
They would die rather than give the trai-
tors an inch, and if no calamity bcfalls
us without doubt the stars and stripes
will not be taken from the State House at
Baton Rouge. ENos FLETCHER.
