The Jackson West Tennessee) Wing

the list Of delegates, says: We hasten to
supply this omission of the types, and
will here add our unqualified approval
of his selection as oHe of the delegates
for the State st large to the New York
| Convention.
The Jackson Wing speaks Of a new
discovery, that was vouchssfed very
short time since, and which requires but
| few words to describe: Since the world
was made, there never was as corrupt
and unprincipled party, as that now
called the Radical party of the United

The Knoxville Press and Herald
says: There is great excitement in
Hawkins county among the SPECTATORS
in mineral lands. A company who have |
for several months been boring for salt,
six miles north OF Rogersville, on Big |
Poor Valley, have, at depth of $50 |
feet, struck a flowing spring of brine,
equal to that of the Virginia salt works,
which flows from the top of the well. /
The well was bored through soil for some
500 feet, and the last sixty feet or so was
through solid rock. This would indicate
that the supply OF salt water is con-
iensed into a lake similar to that Of
Kings Salt Works in Virginia. The
water is very strongly saturated with salt,
and only few gallons are required to
make pound OF salt. We have
sample of the salt, which appears to be o.
! good quality. phe company intends
putting up kettles and other apparatus at
,nce in order to commence the manufac-
ure of salt.

ected.
The Bolivar Bulletin says: Work

The Bolivar Bulletin of the 9th saws,
"One more hole has been
topped. One more channel of wealth
, Northern producers has been blocka-
ed. Since the lst day of January last 4
is safe to say that over $4,000 worth
Northern made flour has been con-
lmed in this county; but it is crafty a

all no longer. Hardeman county can
