An Island OF Salt.

The New Orleans Times gives an
extended account of what is consid-
cred the purest and most natural de-
post Of salt in the world, located on
the Louisiana coast at Petit Anse Is
land. The deposit was known as long
ago as 1698-99, but all knowledge of
it appears to have been lost until 5af-
ter the commencement of the recent
war. During that. period when the
supply from other sources was cut off,
the mine was discovered BY residents
of the interior, who had resorted to
the island for the purpose of procur-s
ing salt by boiling, and for two years
nearly the whole of the trans Missis-
sippi region was supplied from that
source, no less chan 21,000s pounds
having been taken from it in three
months. When the island passed i'm
to the hands of the Federal forces,
the works, buildings, &C., were de-
stroyed, but it has recently been pur-
chased by Messrs. @. w : Weed, of
New Orleans, and +. j. Pratt, of
Hawkins, Pratt & CO., of New York,
who, in developing the property, have
found the salt rock from Ii to p feet
below the surface, extending over "a
great number of acres. Pits of over
40 feet in depth have been sunk
through the salt without finding any
indication of reaching bottom The
salt formation is almost perfectly
pure, chemical analysis showing that
it contains about SO per cent. pure
salt. The development of the prop
erty is. being rapidly pushed, and the
product has already reached 10000
pounds week with force of ten
hands. This mine is regarded as
forming prominent part of the ma
terial resources of Louisiana.

Trouble With Negroes.

s A difficulty occurred last Friday
evening, on the farm of James Key,
about six miles below Florence, In
which two negroes were killed. The
circumstances, as related to us by a.
gentleman who heard them given In
the immediate vicinity are these: Key
had in his employ about 100 negroes,
a large number of them discharged
soldiers. They were rolling some
barrels of meal into, the yard, when
Key told them not to handle the bar
rels so roughly. Upon this one of the
negroes replied: You had better go
back to the house and stay there you
id gray-headed old rascal, and i'm
mediateley attacked Key. He threw
him down and took a pistol away
from him. Two other negroes then
came up, and took th@ pistol from
him, and handed it back to Key. The
negro made assecond attack, where's
upon Key shot him down. and re-
treated tothe house and barricaded
the door. In few moments the
house was surrounded by about
seventy-fve negroes, all armed. They
battered down the door, and as they
entered he killed two. df them
with a double barreled gun=-thel ne
groes retreated- They Attempted to
fire the house, but the majority OPP

Baltimore.

Do the Radicals remember where the
first blood was spilled of the torrents that
flowed in the late war? It was at Baltimore.
And with that terrible past upon their
memories they are this day, in that very
city, provoking collision 4Aat threatens to
a&ke BaaimoEs 6gsip 4he. 7sf scene Of a
tragedy as fearful. AE
Will they not pause? Will they not re-
feet? Will they not hold in check little,
at lest until the sentiment of peace becomes
familiar to US, that fierce fanaticism that
FIVE years ago armed brotheragainst brother,
and that now again invokes the unholy
strife? The first bloodshed at Baltimore
ushered in a war in which hundreds of
thousands of lives and millions of treasure
were wasted; a war unnatural, destructive,
desolating, the curse of which will be a
shadow on our land for generations to come
But it was a war of sections, and in that re-
Pect free from some of the most dreadful
attributes of civil strife. But if the fire.
brand be again thrown at Baltimore, if the
fatal fire be there again lighted, it will bring
on no sectional strife, but a war from house
to house, from home to home; a war whose
most devastating path will be through the
rich cities and thriving fields of the North
"a ciUI a0ar in its most real and terrible
sense.
Reflect while you have the opportunity
the victors sometimes become victims

An Instance of Wars RaYages in
Alabama.

One of the editors of the Selma Messen-
ger, writing from Tuscaloosa. on the 28th
ult., says:
GA little business in the court house led
me to inquire into the financial condition of
this portion of the country, and learn that
Sherifs' sales are becoming so common
that almost no purchasers are found for the
valuable lands and other property exposed
for sale. A gentleman informed me that
some twenty farmers had been sold out late
ly, their lands bringing less than one dollar
per acre.
A sad instance Of the reverses of fortune
produced by the war was mentioned iu the
case of old Mr.. Prewitt of this county,
whose estate was sold out on the first Mon
day in this month. At the breaking out of
the war, he was the weathiest citizen of
Tuscaloosa county. He owned three hun
dred and sixty slaves, and large tracts of
land. He had large sums of money out at
interest, secured by mortgages on negro
property and land. He was 'homespun'
economical countryman, who bought every
thing at the lowest price for cash. He paid
his physicians bills before the doctor left
the house When Gen. Croxton came to
Tuscaloosa he took from this old man some
forty head of horses and mules, all his
money, provisions, &c, which was his first
calamity. Next came emancipation, which
swept all his slave property. Next cane
the breaking up of all the men to whom
Prewitt had loaned money, or for whom he
stood security. Finally an execution was
levied on his property for few thousand
dollars, and all his real estate was sold un.
der the sheriff's hammer for six hundred
dollars!

Grant and Sherman.

Wendell Phillips denounces Gen. Grant
as "traitor.'' The radical press are down
upon Gen. Sherman as "copperhead."-
The amount of their crime is that they sus-
tain the President and his policy. When
they sustained the policy of the war, and
led their legions to victory, they were all
right. Now that they desire to see a re-
stored nation, with constitutional rights
protected, they are all wrong, and are sub.
jected to the coarsest denunciation.
Who is a more miserable traitor than
Phillips himself, whose intolerance has led
the van of radicalism, and whose sophisti-
cal eloquence has misdirected thousands of
minds that possessed more virtue than his
Own, but impressible, have been misled and
trained by him in the way they should not
go. He may yet find some of the trouble
visiting him, that he with unsparing hand
would visit upon others.-Mena. Appeal.

]. Wilkes Booth.

In a recent number Of the La Crosse
Democrat NE End the following:
''The papers are now having much to
say about Booth, whether he be dead or
not. John Wilkes Booth was alive on the
18Th day of July, 1865. The man who was
killed was not Booth, but another person,
murdered in order to obtain the reward
offered for his capture. Time will unravel
the ball of mystery now connected with this
affair, and show up the beauties Of Stanton's
detective system. Again we repeat, ear
nestly and certainly, that John Wilkes
Booth never was taken to Washington,
either wounded or dead, and that he Was
alive in July of this year"

Ellis Harner.

The Hartsville VideHs speaks Of ''the
recent visit of detachment of troops to
this place, or it may be one of the Periodi-
cal scouts for Harper, who does not reside
anywhere IN this section, and who is entire
ly unconscious of the greatness which is be-
ing thrust upon him.
1--WE are personally acquainted with Ellis
Harper; be was a member of the 3Oth Ten
nessee Regiment, and was, and still Is, one
of the most quiet and unassuming men we
ever met. He is strictly sober. and so far
from being the outbreaking character which
his fearful adVersaries' imagine. He Is
the miIdest hammered man that ever scut-
tied ship or cut throat
.'We are no admirer of guerrilla warfare,
but we know Of no instance in which Harper
has ever violated the terms of his parole,
and the persistent annoyance of Harper by
those little detaehments of Federsl troops is
doing no good, while we are satisfied Of the
fact that if Harper was permitted he would
remain quietly at home.
at is certainly beneath the dignity OF
great nation to thus engage in hunting
down a man who has been paroled; and the
fate of Champ Ferguson is warning enough
for men whose lives are entrusted TO the
evidence of those who fear them while they
are free, but who would not hesitate to ap-
proach and testify against them when the
nanaclss are on their limbs"
