SALT IN THE MARSHES.

Mr.. Colburn, of Georgia, claims the
credit of discovering the salt wells in
the marsh that abounds on the skirts OF
our river coasts. He says: about
three months ago, when people were
digging up their smoke-houses to make
salt, the idea occurred to me that the
marsh mud, if leached, would prove rich
in salt, for solar evaporation goes on
rapidly with the water left upon the
grass after each high water. The salt
thus formed must sink into the ground,
and has thus been accuRulating ever
since the marsh was formed. | men
toned to several gentlemen Of this place
what I stated above, who thought the
theory must be true. Some, whom |
then conversed with, were then making
salt on the coast. l since learned from
one of them that he gave it consldera-
bic publicity. Upon further reflection
I concluded that sinking wells would
be better than teaching the mud, and
thus put the whole matter before the
public
We hope to hear of successful re-
suit; Charleston is surrounded by sail
marshes, that have only been used az
food for cattle, of which they are fond
though it gives flavor to milk not yer,
palatable to strangers.

MILITARY MEETING.

YoRKnLLE, S. c., Nov. IA, 1862.
The Company of First Reserves, com
posed of the Town and Briar-Patch
Beats, s4th Regiment, State Militia,
Iheld-a meeting at the court house this
day, when, on motion of Capt. j. T.
LOWRY. Lieut.. j. ED. JEFFERYs was
called to the chair.
Capt. Lowry stated that orders had
been issued by one Al. SEcREsT, pur-
porting to be a Colonel Of the First Re
serves, under an appointment of the Ex-.
ecutive Council; as there was no au-
thority for such appointment, either by
military law or usage in this State, he
had called the Company together to take
into consideration whether or not they
should 60 into the Camp designated un-
der such organization. \ ....
THos. j. ECeLEs, Esq. offered pre-
amble and resolutions, which, after some
discussion, were unanimously passed, as
follows: nj
Whereas, at the organization of this
Company an expression of opinion was
had, and which opinion authorized the
refusal of our officers to accept Commits
sions from the Field Officers appointed
by the Governor and Council: and
whereas, we still consider their action
as arbitrary, and contrary to the estab-
lished usages of the State, differing, too,
from the mode practiced in the lower
Districts, when similar officers were elect
ed by the several companies of their
command;
Be it therefore, Resolued, That Capt.
Lowry's company of First Reserves do
hereby protest against the exercise of
such power at the present and for the
future, and that the same be entered as
matter Of record.
Resolved, That we yield to no other
portion of the State in devotion to it's
interests, or in determination to protect
it's soil from the further enToachments
of the foul invader; and that, as we
believe the exigencies of the time re-
quire that all able-bodied men should be
prepared by drill and exercise for the
struggle now at hand, we will report to
the Adjutant General at Columbia,
through Capt. LOWRY, and Lieut.. S.
R. Moore, as an Independent Com
! pany.
Resolved, That we contemplate with
gratitude the short time that will trans
pire, when the present Governing Power
will surrender to the Legislature of the
State the Constitutional powers they
have so much abused.
On motion of R. SPRINGS MOORE
ESQ.,, the proceedings of the meeting
were requested to be published by the
), YoRKv1LLE ENQUIRER, Columbia Caro-
liniau, and the Charleston Courier
when the meeting adjourned to Friday
morning next, at 7 o'clock, prepared

latest Northern News.

RICHMOND, November l5.--The re-
moyal of McC Clellan has created a tre-
mendous excitement throughout the en-
tire. North. The Indignation among
the Democrats is intense. A letter
written by Halleck to Secretary Stan
ton says that Halleck, on the 'lst Oeto-
Der, advised forward movement, and,
on the 9Th, he peremptoriIy ordered it;
therefusing to execute this order is be-
be the main cause Of McClel-
Ian 3 removal and disgrace. "A despatch
from Met Clellan, dated October %, says
that portion of his army are without
clothing. and could not move until sup
piled. I In. New York and Philadelphia
the removal met no favor. Intense ex:
citement prevailed and the partizans OF
Nc Clellan are noisy in their denuncia:
tons. Cheers are frequently proposed
and given for him.: The opinions OF
the Northern press possess considera-
Bile interest. The Washington Chroni:
Gle says the removal must be regarded
as purely military question. The ne.
cessity for active operations in Virginia
has become imperative. The Herald
says McC Clellan has fallen victim to
the machinations of the radical Adolf
ton faction his crime was a persistent
refusal to second the cause Of negro e
Emancipation. The World says it fell
like the sound of tolling bell; every
lover of his country was startled as from
a dream of hope by the strange and
sudden tidings. The Tribune says
Too late to save his friends, but not
too late to save his country, the Presi-
dent has relieved sMcC CleIlan from the
command of the army of the Potomac.
His intimate friends and trusted coun-
'sellors were nearly all at heart opposed
to the unqualified discontinue of the
rebels. The Times says it is a melan-
choly satisfaction to learn that the
President of the United States did not
keep Mcclellan in command Of the ar
my of the Potomac from any confidence
in his capacity or fitness. The Phila-
delphia Ledger says the feeling here is
one of general regret that the act was
done when the army was in the face of
the enemy and upon the eve Of battle.
When his officers assembled at his head
quarters to bid him adieu, the only toast
offered by Mcclellan was,a laconic: one.
"The army Of the Potomac. '''f Burn
side, on assuming command, said:'1
accept control with a steadfast assur-
ance that our just cause must prevail" :"
He has ordered all absent officers to
return to their commands immediately.
His headquarters are at WaTenton.
Hunter returns to the command of
the department Of the Carolinas.
