An IMPORTANT DlscoyERy.-Enor-
nous beds of rock salt have been dis
covered on the Canadian shore of
Lake Huron. The deposit is said to
be the largest in the world, exceeding
in extent even the famous salt mines.
near Cracow, in Poland, which nave
been worked since the beginning OF the
twelfth century. The Canadian de-
post is reported to reach forty miles
in direction nearly from north to
south, while nothing is known of its
breath from east to west. Practically,
If the reports are correct, the Canadian
deposit is inexhaustible. The brine
from it is always near the point of sal.
ination; it improves in proportion to
the increase Of its depth; and the salt
made from it is one Of the whitest and
best yet known in commerce. The
ease with which the manufacture can
be carried on and the facilities of ship.

ton Of reading letters from DR.. Liv-

and IL deg. south latitude, or 400 miles

was alive and well few months ago.
Chaplain Sherard Osborn expresses a

The body Of Secretary Rawlins was re-

Last night a telegram was received by
Gen. Williams from Gov. Walker of
Virginia, expressive of the universal sor-

in Richmond. Governor Walker, accom-
panied by prominent Virginians will
reach Washington in time to participate
in the funeral ceremonies.
No order has yet been made, naming
the Secretary of War ad interim, but
from what the President said last night
it is probable that Gen. Sherman will be

mouth of the shaft, they report that aftel
leaving the platform on which they wen

deal of carbonic acid gas, and black damp
retreated after conveying the end of tn
large canvass air conveyer, rs far into tn,
line as they went. The damp was between
two and three feet deep on the bottom o
the mine.
1855 a. m Rees Evans, Thomas Cam

descend the shafts.
1920 D. M The second party returned
safely, as had the first, they penetrated
the gangway for distance of seventy-fv'
then went hundred feet further in ont
of the passages, and found small dool
closed. After opening this door to give {
circulation of air AROUND to the entranc.
they returned. Had this small door beer
open, there might have been u shade o.
hope, IA the gas and smoke, Ind fir,
would have had free passage ground thu
circuit and out again. As it IL, the fears
are that the smoke penetrated the innel
mine and suffocated all the men. Th'
main doorway looking to the mine ha

Scranton, and Wilson Of Plymouth, are
in attendance. The widest excitemen,
prevails, and the mass Of people are kept
back with great difficulty.
1.4O D. m. The two miners are saved
at last, it seems idle to peril life by any
further attempts to enter the mine a
long as the gas is 80 strong. No attempt

uncertain how long this will take. There
is really no ground to hope that q single

the mine. Everybody gives them up, and
nothing probably RENAME to be done but
to recover the bodies. What horror and
suffering yesterday witnessed beneath
this spot, and whether it WAS was of long
or short duration, none viii probably
