and aetivs operations for the present are
kcut Of ths question. There WAS areport
which obtained extensive circulation on
yesterday, that Hood had turned on
Thomas and beaten him, killing three
thousand Of his men and taking six
thousand prisoners This is thorough
Sunday rumor, which, that it might have
good run, WAS started early on Satur-
day evening. If there had been any
battle out there ia Tennessee the Yankee

claimed victory, no matter what had
been the result The Northern papers,
on the contrary, announce that Hood
has crossed the Tennessee river at Flo
renee.
There is no news from Sherman. For

our correspondent on the fourth page of
to-day's paper.
FROM GENERAL HOOD.
A gentleman who has arrived in this
city from the vicinity of Columbia, Ten
nessee, states that since General Hood
entered Tennessee he has recruited his
army largely, and has driven south
ward over ten thousand hogs. and
some six thousand beef cattle. He also
secured . large quantity of -four and
orn-enough to last his army at least
three months. In order to secure his
retreat across Duck river, he had posted
some twelve or fourteen cannon to keep
! the river clear. He crossed his main
force, when the enemy attacked bis rear
guard; and they were unable to bring
off the pieces.
General Hood conscribed all able
Bodied males from seventeen to fifty years
Of age; and when he rstreated the Yam

these ages to swell their list Of prisoners,
and they were included in the nine thou.

SALIFEROUs.

The committee who visited Sagi-
nav, have returned and have reported
of their observations. The enterprise
looks exceedingly encouraging. The
st. Clair brine is Of better strength
and purity than the Saginaw brine. =
Biologists assure us that we shall got
brine Of the same quality as that OBJ
tanned at st. Clair but We shall, owing
to the dip of the rock, obtain it in
greater quantity. IL 30 we can sue
cessfully compete with the world
Conservative Press, IN. Clemens.
Considering the limited experience
of the editor of the Press in salt mat
tors, we must regard his statement
concerning the comparative strength
and purity of st. Clair and Saginaw
brines, as rather positive, to say the
least. In this attempt, however, no
only comes in second best, his sxu-
berent cotemporary, the Monifor, hav-
ing as long ago as January 18th made
this modest announcement:
About n year ago stock company
was organized in the city of st. Clair
for the purpose of sinking salt well,
and boring has been kept up with
Indifferent success, since the first or
ganization of the company until Il
few days since, when, at the depth of
1900 feet, their labors and unwaver-
ing perseverance were awarded by the
discovery of an immense vein of saline
water yielding proportion Of 30 per
cent salt.
Specimens of this quality of " saline
water" may be had at st. Clair, Mt.
Clemens, or any other place, by pour
ing thirty-two quarts of fresh water
into full barrel of salt. An elm
mense" vein of "sich" will do for st.
Clair, still "greater quantity" how
ever, it would seem is necessary to
enable Mt. Clemens to successfully
compete with the world" In any
thing save editorial munchaussnisms,
we think this must be the case.

fore passiug through those rocks be-
longing OF adjacent to the Michigan
salt group, which furnishes the brinss
from which our alt Is manufactured !;
and in accorda9e with this theory,
We find tho bjnes Of the Saginaw
Valley possessjg a greater specific
gravity than tbsc which have been
found in any other portion Of the
State. Theraevsry well has proved
a success. limo instance whore the
wells have btn carried to a sufficient
depth, havgthey failed in yielding
rich and ppductive brinos. Add to
this is the 1tural position of the Sag
inaw basip with the bay bearing its
name breking into its very centre,
affordingbvery facility for shipment
and the }ants Of commerce, and we
cannot fill to discover that the Sagi-
nav Vsley is destined to become the
great salt manufacturing emporium,
not only Of our own State, but of the
entire West, adding largely to our
permanent wealth, and aiding vastly
in swelling our revenues. All this
being the result, present and prospec-
tive, of wise legislation in the past, in
stimulating the development of our
it needs no argument to
show that the State, while providing
for sill further development of her
natural resources, should protect these
interests and guard them as far as
possible against unwise management,
and injudicious experiments
and practices in manufacturing, and
dealings Of unprincipled
operators.
QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF BRINEs.
The quantity Of the brine in the
Saginaw Valley district seems, from
the tests applied, to be unlimitsd.-
Every new well finds an abundant
the change of seasons from
hot to cold or cold to hot, brings with
{ no diminution in quantity. Excess
