Salt

A correspondent in the East writes ub, Aug. 4 : - "Just say to your Salt buyers that a great improvement has been made by the lost winters' action of the Legielature of New York. Salt must now lie 14 days beforo packing, and then be put in barrels of 280 pounds each, and musí be of superior quality. Bcaeh is now inspector instead of W. W. Allen, and those who buy sait to consume, wilí find it worth 20 per cent more (if inspected by Beach and just 280 pounds) than the old salt. The article can he sold at some thing'near last year's prices. as the State allows a drawback on nll salt that reaches Buffalo, which is about one half the cost of transportation to ihat place. A debenture oi something more than the cost of transportation to tide water is allowed on all salt that reaches tide water, so that Salt is sold in New York City at $1 00 per barrel.

He says of the prospects of the Liberty pariy : "Since I liave left home I haye made close inquines of all the friends whom I have seen, and Í am 6atisfied we are destined to disappoinfment to ourselves and to our enemies. We shali, get viore votes than our friends ge?ierally expect. Put me down as sanguine. I am confident our nrrease will be greater than that of any other State for the last year. N. Y. will give 20,000 votes under our present plan of operations. If from the lst September to election, the General Agent sha'.l have, as he hopes to do, a, dozen good lecturers in the field, bendes what volunteers we can muster, we shall add 5,000 more." Rev. Abel Brown, of Albany, N. Y., and nis lady, visited this city lost week. Mr. Brown preached three sermons in the Baptist Meeting House, and lectured once in the First Presbyterian Church. A large audience nttended his meetings in the Baptist house, and listeneó with great attention, evidenlly much pleased and edified. Many will rcmember his platform, argument as ong os they live, as the data of their convictions; revealing to them their position - standing pon the heads of the slaves and crushing them to the earth.- Chicago Citizen.
