n@- Can any one tell what General
Grants political opinions are Further,
what will be his policy in regard to the
party that elected him, and toward the
Southern States? So many wiseacres
are giving the Generals views upon those
points that we linger in uneasy ignor
ance of the real state of the case. One
set of prophets are positive that the Gen
eral will be his own master in every thing,
and pursue a liberal and conciliatory
policy to the South, looking to the fulfill
ment of his great maxim, "let u have
peace" while the other set prophecy a
blind adherence to Rsdicalism and it's
dictates, and a rigid enforcement of all
past and perspective acts Of Congress
against the South, to say nothing of the
mooted Congressional changes. in the
status of some of the " loyal" Northern
States. We are in a turmoil frum which
we would like to escape.

PETIT ANsE SALT M1NEs.-We copy the
following from the New Orleans Times
We are glad to learn that c. P. Chou.
teau, Esq, one of the solid men of St
Louis, has just arrived 10 Louisiana for
the purpose of remaining. He has con.
nected himself with the great enterprise
of developing the salt mines Of Petit
'Anse, aud has brought with him forty
expert miners who have bad experience
in English AID other salt works. The
great salt deposit at Petit Anse is one Of
the geological wonders of the world
So large q mass Of pure salt has nowhere
else been discovered, and the marvel is
how it took it's rise in the center of an
immense marsh aud become 80 wonder
fully pure. The extent of the deposit is
practically without limit, and all that is
required to give it a value, which scarcely
is expressed by the alphabet Of numbers,
is a railroad connection with this city
and with Texas. We trust that Mr.. Chou
teau will prove an Aladdin, capable of
bringing the rich crystalizations Of this
storehouse Of wealth Into golden and
productive uses. He is we'll known to
be a gentleman of enterprise and intelli
gence. We welcome him to Louisiana.
