The capacities of the Virginia Salt Works
are about ten thousand bushels day
There are some forty furnaces in all, oper-
ated by State and private individuals. Inc
States of Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama,
Georgia and North Carolina, all have tnrna,
ces in operation. The water is obtained
from four different wells, by means of force
pumps, and is conducted to the furnaces
through wooden pipes. 1t is the strongest
salt water of which any knowledge is po'
sessed, being IS per cent. and requiring
only twenty. five gallons of water to make
gallon of salt. Of sea water, three hun
dred and fifty gallons are required to give
the same yield Great difficulty is expert
enced in procuring fuel for boiling the ket
ties. The wood for miles around has beer
exhausted, and it now has to be transported
long distance either by wagons or ovel
the railroad. 1t is estimated to cost from
twenty -four to thirty dollars cord, deliver
ed at the works. Several furnaces are nov
idle for want of fuel. The water is boile'
in large kettles, ranged over lines, and tn
capitalization is rapid. The main works
| with one thousand acres Of land attached
are owned by Messrs Stuart, Buchanan q
Co. who purchased them from Mr.. Thos
L. Preston, for the sum Of four hundred ant

A letter has been received in Washington
by way of flag Of truce boat on the James

he declared his intention to throw up his
commission. 1t is not believed that the
rebels will hang cur officers, as a protest
has also been forwarded to them by the

Stanton:
"The Springfield Republican says the fact
cannot escape public attention and com
ment, that most of the charges against
Rosecrans originated in the Washington

piece and fulsome eulogist of Secretary
Stanton"
On the other hand, Rosecrans says in his
speech before the CINCINNATI Chamber o.
Commerce:

The News.

We devote most of our space this week
to the late eastern news and the Cover
nor S message. The news from the seat of
war is far from encouraging, while that
from the Capital is no less pleasant. Sew
ard, who was stigmatized at the beginning
of the war as the blackest abolitionist in
the Cabinet, has it seems, been two con
servative for certain members of Congress,
and by them asked to resign. We can con
csive of no other offense of which he has
been guilty. The result of this action has,
it appears, effected an entire dissolution of
the Cabinet. If the designations have ac-
tually taken place, we apPrehend the Presi-
dent will have a difficult task in forming
an equally able one-while we very much
doubt that the place of Seward can be filled
from out the Republican ranks From the
operations before Fredericksburg, it would
seem that Pope's blunders have found a
parallel in Burnside's movements there
At any rate, it appears from the dispatches
that he has Withdrawn his troops from the
contest without having accomplished any
favorable results to the Union cause I'm
less he has some ulterior object in view, by
which he will redeem himself from this
apparent defeat, we shall not be surprised
if the next dispatches from the east bring
us news that the same class of politicians
who found in him ''the man for the times,
are loudly crying again for strategy. =
A Commission, il appears, has been de-
spatched to Fredericksburg to inquire into
the causes of his backward movement; they
will most likely find as one of these, the
length of time which he gave the rebels to
build fortifcations If the war is to be
governed by politicians at Washington, in
stead of Generals in the field, and if COM
manding Generals are to be made and un-
made at the ipse dirit Of factions, we say
give Us, by all means, that class who advo-
cate sstrategy" and strategic movements
