Trial of Major General Van Dorm.

The army correspondent Of the
Mobile AdrertiSer d Register, VII
ting from Abbeville, Miss, says:
The Court of Inquiry into the
charges preferred by Gen. Bowen
against Major General Van Dorm
is in session. but the proceedings
thus far have been kept carefully
from leakage. | learn from a
very we'll informed officer that
Van Dorn's conduct will, by this
trial, be greatly relieved, and lis
attack upon Corinth, upothe IN
vestigation, will be found to be
less discreditable than has gener-
ally been supposed. A great share
| Of the blame will be found to rest
upon a General commanding a
division in Prices corps, who, by q
disastrous delay of four or five
hours changed the whole complex
ion OF the c0fllct. 1t has been
such freely canvassed matter
that it will be no harm to state
that this General was rendered III
capable to command by narcotic
stimulants. At five o'clock in the
morning he was ordered to advance,
but at eight he had made no move,
when he reported in person to the
commanding General, and having
been found unfit to discharge the
terrible important. duties, his
troops were placed under General

After copying the item detail
ing the experience of a Mr.. Nor
ton in curing pork by submerglng
the meat, before the animal heat
has left. it, in boiling water, and
allowing it to remain from two to
four minutes, according to the
thickness of the meat, the editor
Of the Wilmington Journal thus
relates his experience:
I'VE, tie associate Editor of
this paper, tried the method of
sailing pork by means Of placing
it in strong brine We bought a
dead hog, weighing III lbs. last
week, placed it in cold pickle, and
in forty-eight hours the thin parts
were too salt for frying for break
fast, The ham appeared to be
quite well struck, but We did not
thiak it quite salt enough to hang
up, So we had it put in pickle
again. From our little experience
in tie matter, we shall in future
adopt the plan of immersing our
pork in strong pickle, instead of
pursuing the old mode Of rubbing
and wasting salt. The pickle
must be made as strong as salt
can make it. When strong as it
can be made the salt will melt no
longer. We think, though we
have not fairly tested this latter,
that at least one-third of salt can be
saved by using brine for saving
pork.
Salt has been so cheap that our
people have been wasteful Of it
There is 10 doubt bat that three
times more salt has been used in
curing pork than was needed, while
the bacon has been less sweet, be-
sides losing in weight, instead of
gaining, as it does by picking
1t is time for our people to be learn
ing economy in the use of salt.
