The want Of salt has been one Of the
chief necessities Of the rebels since the
blockade was enforced. Had they been
apprised, however, Of the mine of saline
wealth that was within their borders they
need not have suffered from freshness. A
correspondent Of the New York Times,
writing from the Texan coast says that It
has been discovered that the island Of
Petite Anse which has been known to have
salt spring, turns out to be "a rock ofIolid
sslt sane tzs Aazars5 aad .ffigs feet high,
where the mineral is quarried out in large
pieces resembling cakes of ice. It was
these salt works" that Commodore
Buchanan some time since, with the gun
beats Diana, Kipsman and the st. Marys,
with the 2lst Indiana on board, attempted
to destroy, the result Of which was, the
buildings were torn down, but the vast
mine Of salt still remains. The saltspring
on this island, as it was termed, has been
known for years, but it was not until 3
few months sgo that it was discovered
that this supposed spring was merely the
rain-watter settling in hoIlows Of solid
salt rock. There is mention made Of .
similar formation to this mineral wonder
in Cardona, about sixteen leagues north
west Of BsrcelOta, which town is situated
at the foot of rock Of salt which rises
abruptly out Ofthe plain some five hundred
feet The salt N its natural bed is as clear
as glass-in fact, it seems as if you could
look vast distance into its solid heart.
when it is blasted out, in pieces resem-
bling cakes of ice, it assumes dull yellow
color, but grinds up whittier than most salt,
and is 50 thoroughly saline in its proper
ties that even grain or two leaves a
stringent tastein the mouth. The immense
value Of this nine Of wealth can scarcely
be realized. A million of dollars was offer
ed to its owner by a company Ofpersons in
theneighborhsod, but refused. This island

and one wide, Of irregular form, and COW

Mr.. G. B. Wilkinson, editor Of the st.
Joseph Herald, Emancipation after citing
the position Of the early fathers Of Democ-
racy on the slave question, says,
81 am precisely such a Democrat as Gen.
John A. Dix was, when he gave orders to
shoot on the spot the first man who should
attempt to tear down the American flag.
He is now deemed radical, though you
and have fought by his side in the Dem
oeratic ranks for fourteen years. The
Democracy Of Governor Sprague, Governor
of Rhode Island is unquestionabie, yet he
was the first man to offer to lead a colored
regiment into the field, and march with
them to battle. That operation was surely
spiced with radicalism. No man can
truthfully question the Democracy OF Gen.
Butler who hung Mumford in New Orleans
for tearing down the flag on the United
States Mint, though am denounced as
Black Republican for calling the men
traitors who once tore into strips and
trampled in the streets the flag hoisted
over the st. Joseph pOst-ofice. We both
regard Senator Fitch Of Indiana Demo-
crat, but he hung traitors in Arkansas for
their devilish practices toward his troops.
Ben. Butler was the first man to refuse to
return slaves to rebel owners, and is he
to be called JacobIn2 When. New York
was represented in Congress by John
Cochran, his Democracy was unquestiOned,
but when this war burst upon US, he was
the first man to stand up in confscating
the property Of rebels, and putting their
negroes TO work on our fortifcations.-
Does that render him obnoxious to the
charge of Black Republieanism Joe.
Wright, Senator Of Indiana, is an'old line
Democrat, and he made many arguments
in the United States Senate in favor of
raising negro regiments to fight traitors.
q John Wesley was 3 Christian, and the
founder Of Mefhodism. He denounced
| slavery as "the sum of all Filainies,"
though his religious belief was embraced
| by tWo-thirds of the slave holders in Amer
lea. For fifty years Democrats in the
| South allowed all followers Of that distin-
guished divine and exemplary man, to
speak and publish freely their opinions on
tie question of slavery. The so called
Democrats of this day murdered BeWley,
q Methodist minister, for having in his
| possession a. letter which indicated his
preference for Lincoln to Breckinridge
for President.
81 could pile up the evidence mountain
high, to prove to you that there Is not a
particle of the genuine article left in the
rOtton old party which to-day emhlazons
A." Democracy "on its banners. But have
said enough on that score for single let
ter. Il is mistaken idea that man can
not be in favor Of Furnishing traitors with
out being a radical, Jacobin, Black Re-
publican. If to love my country, and to
desire that all her enemies may be ground
to powder before loyal men, make me a
Black Republican, then write me down as
black as the ace of spades. But if to see
the people rule, and 10 see liberty, equsli-
ty and justice triumph throughout all the
land, constitute Democracy then am a
Democrat"

The Paris correspondent of the New
York Times writes the following signif-
cant statements regarding French rumOrs
of Intervention;
'sIf we look back at the history Of these
demonstrations of apparent hostility to the
cause Of the Union, we find that the first
thought Of offering an srmistice was en-
gendered by the first Democratic meeting
in New York which resolved upon the re-
organization of that PTS y, and the offer
ing Of sn opposition 70 the measures Of
the National Government. We find further
that these demonstrations on the part Of
France have grown Pdri PassH with the
successes Of the Democratic party in the
States, and that these divisions and bick-
erings in the North have now arrived at
such state that France believes she can
act about as she pleases on the American
continent. Thus the world is offered the
pitiable spectacle Of proud people torn
and divided by local qusrrels, while for
eign nations are not only insulting them,
but adding injury TO insult by interfering
IN their affairs. E.l t

From the increased activity visible upon
the front Of the rebel entrenchments at
Fredericksburg, and The demonstration Of
building rife pits and earthWOrks it is sur
missed that General Lee has adopted this
rlse to shield his retreat. A cOrrespOn-
dent Of the Tribune, writing on the 9th
says:
"Just as the sun was dropping behind
the hills last evening, q heavy signal gun
was hesrd, fired from the nights back Of
fredericksburg, eehoing through the val
ley, and starting every one from the re-
pose which they had been gradually
dropping into since the battle. At
the same moment long column Of rebel
infantry was seen to emerge from the
woods and move down toward the ford at
Falmouth, as il with an intention 10 cross
upon the rocks and destroy the large euan-
tity Of euartermaster and commissary
stores at the depot.
" In an instant everything was in mo
ton in and around Falmouth. Two bat
teries dashed down to the river, and took
position to give them warm reception If
they persisted in the attempt The men at
the guns on the hills fully prepared them
selves for a charge, and would have given
eie1or~4 Ges5vs-gvs-Fri g1ET6 Us q IeF
days ago, few unpalatable doses Of grape
and canister before leaving their intrench-
ments. Drums were beaten and bugles
sounded, and regiment after regiment of
infantry sprang to their arms, and in a
few moments were ready for the fight; but
the long rebel column which looked so
formidable, and threatened so much, halted
long before it reached the river, and in
stead Of forming in battle line, or making
demonstration TO cross, stacked their arms,
opened their haYersaeks, sat down upon
the ground and commenced deVouring
their rations.
" Notwithstanding this rather amusing
finale Of the movement, strong guard was
kept upon the ford all night in antieipa-
ton of an attack. This morning dawned,
the rebels were still where they rested du-
ring the night, but instead Of offering bat
tie were exhibiting their clean linen and
white tents TO our astonished gaze.
+" From what source they supplied them
selves with these luxuries we are all at
loss TO know"

A Washington correspondent Of the Tri-

A Washington correspondent Of the Tri-
bune has the following:
"a very clearly defined and a strong
opinion is receiving shape here, that it is
the duty Of the Government to follow the
Proclamation Of Freedom on the first of
January, instant, with q military or
ganization Of the slaves in the rebel States.
This is demanded in the interest Of the
black race, as we'll as Of the country at
large and Of the world. The demand rests
on the patriotic and humane desire that
the passage Of this vast body of people
from Slavery to Freedom shall be under
the restraints which military discipline
imposes--that it be in no wise left 10 the
accidents which will menace it, from the
rage and resistance Of the masters on the
one side, and on the other side by the in
sistanee Of the slaves upon enjoying the
liberty which has been conferred upon
them by the authority of the United States
Government. tits demanded, too, in order
to sustain the authority Of the Govern
ment in proclaiming freedom to the blacks
-an authority which would fall into con-
tempt all over the world, and give the
eOap de grace to the Union, if the Procla-
nation was not thus sustained It is de-

fast stretching across the continent, that
walks in weeds and mourns the dead of
the army, killed by the malaria Of the cot
ton, rice and sugar districts Of the South.
The feeling on this point, converging here
about the Hospitals and the Pay Depart
ment and the War Office, and Congress
under constant siege by its constituency
in Grape, is fast becoming imperious. Upon
the other and the statesmanly considera-
ton of taking military control Of, and
giving orderly shape to, the exodus Of the
Southern blacks from bondage to freedom,
and settlement Of them into their new re-
lations to the soil on which they live as
compensated laborers, sentiment is fast
ripening into executive command and de-
