TIE GREAT RAID IN WESTERN FrRGIN-
IA.22TEe Destruction n the SHtlc9rks Com
Dtctc.-Since Gen. BurDridge's successful
raid on the Confederate SaltwOrks, at
Saltvill9 in Western Virginia, the rebel
papers kaye been striving with great
zeal to make light of the damage done;
but facts prove the destruction Of the
property "n,nnIeta. and that eve" we've,
it not 80, the cutting OF bridges ana
breaking up al railroads, leading from
Saltville in all directions, has been so
thorough that II will be utterly impos-
sible 70 ret salt-a prime neccAlty in
the Contederacy-frOm the works for
considerable time After the capture OF
Saltville. a correspondent Of a New York
contemporary, who was present, says
Soon the ringing Of the heavy sledge
hammers which for days had been car.
-ried patiently by our troops were heard
in every direction breaking the metal
kettles to nieces. The Snntn, Carolina
block was first demolished, Virgnia
next, the Georgia, and so on until all
the property Of States represented were
destroyed. When the thousands of ket-
ties were thoroughly broken the torch
was applied and soon the great pile was
| q mass of smoulderiSg ruins, so that
by night, scarcely yestige Of what
were the great saltworks remained to
mark where they once stood. The wells
were az destroyed by dropping shot and
shell into them, and the engines and
pipes torn TO pieces.
The iron works destroyed were, per
H. IL, ~ Lp III ~,
Virginia, and have been worked by the
rebel government ever since the war be
gan, with success. Among other valu-
able machinery destroyed in them was
q percussion cap mandatory, one OF
the most difficult articles to get in the
Southern COnfederaCy. The cap manu-
factory and works are now all in ruins.
The lead mines in Wythe county, Vir-
ginia, seventeen miles from Wytheyille,
were considered invaluable to the rebel
Confederacy, as from these mines Gen.
Lee obtains nearly all the lead used by
his army. The engines. smelling fur
naces, and entire works are destroyed.
The loss Of the saltwQrks will prove 3
more serious blow to the rebel confeder-
acy than the loss of Richmond. The
great scarcity of this article in the South
made them indispensable to the rebels.
In time Of peace each state was repre-
scented, having its company and WORK
ing It's wells for the use of its own peo-
,nle, but when the war broke out the
rebAl government took possession of all
the works Lowing the different State
companies to lave for the use of their
people only such Quantities OF salt as
were absolutely necessa, ana not need
ed by the government. Salt w." ing u re-
quired article of food, the loss of the
works will distress every man, woman
and child iu the South. They are so
completely destroyed that they cannot
be repaired during the war. Over fifty
bridges are burned on the railroad be-
tween Richmond aud Saltville, which of
itself will render 1t impossible to get
quantities of salt from the works for
many months to come. The loss Of these
works has produced gloom all over
the South, and is worse felt than the
loss of ten battles"

VINO SAoKgH ATLANTA THE Rich
mond papers have printed exciting &C
counts Of the robbery and destruction Of
property in Atlanta by our troops but
the Augusta Constttutionalist now con-
fesses that the sacAling was done by
Georgians themselves. 1t gives this
lively account Of how it was done;
o "Soon after the Yankees left, the cOun-
try people focked by scores frGm all
parts OF the country, some coming over
one hundred miles. Every description
of vehicle, drawn by mules, horses, stall
lions, jacks, jennies, oxen, bullocks, &c,
could be seen upon the streets. The
scene beggars description. Iron, salt,
bacon, -four, sugar, coffee, hides and ev-
erything else left by the Yankees were
unceremoniously- deposited in wagons
and carts and carried off. But our coun-
try cousins did not stop at that. They
entered the dwelling houses of those alb
sent and Quilted them of all their furni
ture. One lady who left her house for
a few hours to attend to pressing bust
ness, was astonished to find, on her re-
turn, all of her furniture and wearing
apparel gone. Fully one hundred and
| fifty pianos were carried of by the
boosters, many of whom were unused to
any concord Of sweet sounds" save
that produced by jewsharp or fiddle.
One of them, an iiliterate backsWooGs-
man, who resided In humble hut, ten

A New FIRE ExTINGUIsHBR-Ga
mis- Messenger says that an apothecary
at Nantes has just discovered by the
merest accident that ammonia will put
out fires. He happened to have about
seventy litres of benzine in his cellar
and his boy, in going down carelessly
with light had set fire to it, Assist
ance was speedily at hand, and pail after
pail Of water was being poured into the
cellar, without producing any effect,
when the apothecary himself took up a
pail which was standing ney,S~EEea n q
corner and emptied the contents into the
cellar. To his establishment the flames
were quenched as if by magic, and upon
examination he found that the pail,
which belonged to his laboratory, had
contained quantity of LIQUID a,,omo-
MIA. The result is easy to explain Oh,
scientific principles for ammonia,
which consists Of eighty-two parts of
nitrogen and eighteen of hydrogen, is
easily decomposed by heat; and the nj
trOgen thus set free in the midst of a
eonfagration must infalubly put out the
flames.

three. The following is the resolution
adopted
This Council having duly considered
the evidence, produced in support of the
charges preferred by Chancellor Devlin
against Guillaume Lamothe, Chief Of
Police, hereby declares its opinion that
the Chief acted precipitately and i'm
prudently in giving up the monies en-
trusted TO his care, and although moth
ing has been shown to warrant the
Council in believing that the action
partook Of dishonesty or corruption yet,
nevertheless, taking all the Circumstan-
ces into consideration, tits deemed de-
sirable to accept the resignation Of his
Office rendered by Mr.. Lamothe, and the
said resignation is hereby accepted
