likely 10 be Of interest to those Of our reade
ers who contemplate going or sending 10 the
Virginia Salt Works for supply of this ar
ticle. We would add that we have been in
formed that no delay is experienced at the
works. The information given below was
communicated to the Salt Commissioner of
Mecklenburg county, and published in the
Western Democrat:
The proprietors of The works will allow
five bushels of good salt Cat 81 per bushel)
to each horse in team. For instance, to a
two horse wagon, ten bushels, to four horse
wagon, twenty bushels, &c. Over and above
this amount they will barter salt for certain
articles on the following terms: For bunch
of bale yarn they will allow you one and a
half bushels Of salt, for sugar they will give
you bushel of salt for six pounds, or for
bacon, and corn, or stock Especially mules, J
they will let you have salt; or in case you
fail TO have any thing to barter, they will hire
you to haul government salt up to the depot,
about e-tourths of mile, at five cents a
sack, by which means four horse team could
make five bushels Of salt per day. would
just say to all who need salt. (and who does
not!) that there is great quantity Of good
dry salt, and very little delay at the works
in getting it after you get there. There is
at least danger in delay, because the Yankees
know that the capture Of the Licks would be
far greater loss TO the Southern Confedera.

The official loss Of the Excelsior Brigade

lost nineteen out Of twenty seven officers
who went into the fight. Five of the cap

the spoils Of the victory were rich in arms,
and included sufficient number Of splendid

was superb. The quantity Of medical stores
which fell into our hands was exceedingly
valuable. and occurs at time when their

down to Staunton, and probably thence to

When Gen. Jackson entered the town OF
Winchester the Vermont Cavalry were panic

their horses, and fled TO the woods. Their
horses, twelve or fifteen hundred in number,
were captured. The First Maryland Regi-
