west Virginia.

The following. extract is taken from
letter written by one of the agricul-
tural editors to the Philadelphia Press:
In Western Virginia one Of the first
towns of prominent Importance is
Charleston. Our party here were hos
pitabiy entertained at the leading hotel
and in the cyenipr enjoyed princely
reception Mt the house Of Mir. Walker,
Of the Charleston newspaper proSs.-
On the following morning a steamer
took the party to the salt works, some
miles above town, where the whole
process was explained to them. The
water is taken from the "briny teep"
some one thousand feet beneath the
surface Of the cath, from whence it
rises through three inch bore. 1t is
then led through Lines of vatS, and
boiled by means Of steam pipes led
.alopg their narrow course. After the
salt is deposited at the bottom of the
water, this led off to another bniIding,
where it is manufactured into brolrinc,
for which there is a ready sale. These
works are owned by DR.. Hale, who has
done more to build up the industrial
interests Of this community than per-
haps any other man, and whose loss
would hardly be replaced 10 this sec
ion. From ire leading factory
about $4,000 bushels are turned out
every year, and about 100 pounds Of
brominc per day. This is worth about
81 per pound, and the salt about 81 go
per barrel. The works consume
about 81, 800 bushels Of coal per day
in making steam and driving the works,
and the labor may be about $500 per
week. 1t will be seen that this leaves
but a small margin per barrel, but on
such an enormous quantity as is sold
per year it pays handsomely.
The next leading town Of import
ance on this line is Huntington on the
Ohio river, only commenced two years
ag,, but now numbering 1000. 1T Is
the terminus Of the railroad, and from
thence boats connect to Cincinnati,
making the jour-. y in about ten hours,
and presenting a pleasing change to
passengers On long trips Huntington
was the first really thriving town We
met with in our journey 20 far. Il
presents many admirable adyant ages
and will no doubt make for itsel q
name among the large aud prosperous
places Of the land On the boat tC
Cincinnati we were favored with adirea
ses from leading agricultural and com
morcial men, and the notebooks Of the
company were in constant use.

Ex-Governor Mou!ton Of Louisiana
who has addressed the following
letter to the General, published 10
the New Orleans papers Of the 10th
July
"MY DEAR GENEEAL:-My FIRST
impulse when I read the proceedings
having in view the reconciliation of
the two races now existing in our
State, was to write to you, giving you
my thanks for the frank and manly
part you took 10 it I tender you
my hun ble, but sincere, appreciation
IN favor of the movement. It is a
pity we did not do SO previous to the
last November election instead OF
affiliating with bad men. The color
ed peo lie are not our enemies, the
freedmen particularly, and if they do
not act with us to redeem Lcuesiana
from ruin and shame, it will be our
fault. Let rs in good faith allow
them all the rights of citizenship,
including fair proportion of public
Offices, according to their mental ca
pacity. AS to this thing Of socia
it is but a scare-crow. No
law can regulate, mach less control
it. 1t must be left to seek its own
level. Every nan is responsible for
his associations, but his neighbOr
will always do as he pleases aud judge
for himself. l hope you will perse-
we're in your efforts to bring about
the cooperation Of tie two races to
save our State from the thieves and
plunderers who have thus far reduced |
her to poverty and distress. The
success Of this movement, honestly |
made, will do much to secure US the
support Of portion of the Northern
people heretofore 80 bitter against
Us. No one will suspect you Of
being sc!uatod by improper motives,

with you men who will command |

4 woman Slays a Panther,

The country papers just now
abound 10 accounts of encounters
with wild beasts The Pittsburg
Commercial supplies one, in CORES
pondeuce from Lock Haven, Pa, as
follows:
"Un Thursday last party of young
woman went out from Queens Run

settlement, gathering huckleberries
One of them, Jerushs Bryan, adgan-
ced little further into the woods
than Ihe others, when she was attack
ed by panther. Her companions
heariag the brute scream, sought
safety in flight, but Miss Bryan, fad
ing escape impossible, determined to
stand her ground, and seiElng huge
pine knot, gave her enemy battle.
The contest was close one for few
minutes, but human courage, judg-
ment and GOODNESS soon intrmphed
over the brute strength, and the he
roic woman soon had the satisfaction
of laying the blood-thirsty monster
dead at her feet. Her garments
we're torn into shreds and her face
and arms badly scratched, but she
walked home with a firm step and
the light of triumph in hereye. The
dead panther was soon afterward
found by the people Of Queens Run,
and proved on measurement to be
