The report of the Joint Committee on
Salt, on the charge brought by the North
Carolina Legislature, made through Go.
vernon Vance, and transmitted to the
House by the Governor of Virginia, to
the effect that the State authorities had
diverted from the use Of the State Of
North Carolina certain engines and cars,
employed in transporting salt. The COM
mittee reported that they had canvassed
all the facts, and find that the Legisla-
ture had been grossly misinformed that
they found no evidence that any trains
had been diverted by State authority,
but that certain parties might have
been engaged in transporting salt to
that State upon private account, for their
