From the Southern Guardian.
From Virginia.

NEAR FREDERIcKsBURG, VIRGINIA,
January "a, 1868.
Mr.. Editor This army has regained
the loss sustainedin December, and from
my knowledge Of the spirit pervading the
ranks, it is in admirable fighting trim
Gradually, butsurely, steady and whole
some discipline has been infused into the
various commands, and to-day Gen: Lee
has the best appointed army that has ever
been in Virginia Of its numbers I win
omit any conjectures, yet may safely assert
that they are sufficient toperform the task
assigned-the defence of Richmond So
faras our prospects as nation are concern
ed, they are brighter and more encouraging
here at this time thanSat any period since
the war began.
While speak thus hopefully of the fu-
ture, it cannot be forgotten that dangers
lurk among the by ways Of our progress
There is oontagion abroad WHOSE pestilen-
tial breath may sweep with unrelenting fury
over the land, and whose coutaminating in
fuence must be counteracted. I refer to
the "Peace Fever" now prevalent. You
seeit blazonedi in the daily papers; you hear
it heralded from mouth to- mouth; and,
with gaping ears, the public is ready to be-
lieve almost to incredulity. Now, in my
humble Judgment, this contains the ele.
ments of our destruction; the rock upon
which we may be stranded, and the disease
whereby the vitals of the Confederacy may
be eaten out. can never assent to the
proposition that it is possible for the whole
Yankee patton to subjugate us; yetwe may,
by being lured from the path of duty, be-
come the creaturesof our own destruction.
The idea Of peace, after such a bloody con.
test, is most inviting and alluring. None
will welcome its advent with truer zest and
pleasure than the writer; but we must not
look to the North, and build our hopes upon
disiptegration and distraction there, for so
surely as our gaze is fixed upon such an oh.
ject, there will be important measures neg
lected and prime interests betrayed. Let

! The LOUISIANA SALT w WoRKs.-BUT.
lER's ATTEMPT TO DEsTRoYsTHEM.-The
Cincinnati Commercial has q letter from
New Orleans, giving the particulars Of But
ler's attempt and failure to destroy the Lou:
isiana Salt Works. The correspondent
says q. s4 10. b ~ :, !; !
Did you ever hear Of the great salt ex-
pedition !? You must know that great
salt mine has been opened near New Iberia,
tits situated on Avery's Island, in Petit
Anes Bayou, running into Yermillion Bay.
The supply Of salt is inexhaustible, and is
taken from the earth perfectly pure, only
needing tobe crushed to make itready for
use The salt is quarried in greattblocks,
like stone. General Butler heard Of this
source of salt supply, and laboring under
the impression that it was an evaporating
institution, and being opposed to the Con-
federates having any salt, except IS it was
exchanged for cotton, across the lake, bag
for bale, heooncluded to strikethe Gonfed.
eracy blow below the belt, by destroying
the salt works. He accordingly ordered
Col. Mcmillan to take his regiment on the
steamer St. Mary, and with the gunboats
Diana and Grey Cloud, go to Vermillion
Bay, and utterly demolish the concern
The Colonel, knowing that the works could
only be destroyed by digging up the hole
and carrying it away, and, furthermore,
that was impossible for the vessels to get.
there, wrote TO the General demonstrating
against being sent on sucha hair.brained
errand, and at the same time informing him.
that he knew Of a point where he could
load the vessels with cotton. Gen: Butler
does not approve of any one in the depart.
meut knowing Of anything Of which he is
Ignorant, SO be telegraphed to. the Colonel: :,
aY Yonr business is to make var, sir, and not
to steal cotton" Among our officers, to
whom the dsep rooted autipathy Of Gener-.
al Butler to cotton stealing isno secret, the
despatch was received like the. threatening
letter Of the Austrian chevalier to the "A.
merican Congress-with troars Of laughter,
Fortune favored the expedition. A heavy,
south wind blew for several days, and the
two gunboats anchored within two miles Of
the salt works. The St, Mary could not
get within Eve miles. That night, howeY.:
er, the wind hurled around to the north,
blew all the water out Of the bayou, and
the next morning found the two gunboats
high. and dry on a mud bank. In the,
course of fifteen or twenty days the two
gunboats got of, but the Grey Cloud again
grounded further down the bayou, aud lies
there still. In the meantime, the salt hole
remains. 3 .3sl,..s5. ~ 81

The Yankee Iron Clad Navy.

The New York Times gives the follow.
ing information of the trial trips and expe.
riments of the newly constructed iron.clads
Monday morning the Ericsson -iron.olad
battery Weehawken made trial trip. A
very slight pressure of steam was applied
to the engines, just sufficient to move the
craft through the wafer, the principal object
being to try how things worked generally,
and to test the poweF Of the helm. The
first half mile steamed over suficed to
prove the efficiency of the. engines, &c.,
and, when opposite Mr.. Stevens, of Ho-
.boken, it was determined to turn around
abruptly for the purpose Of learning within
what space such movement could be con-
veniently effected. There was no more

similar evolution. The Weotawken came
