er shows most clearly, at every period in the history of the world, "the people who have abandoned to foreign nations the supply of salt, were chastised, sooner or later, for their carelessness."--Various articles from the same forcible pen have appeared in BeBow's Review, and the journals of New Orleans, Savannah and Charleston. We are glad to see that the Legislature of that provident and practical State, Georgia, has passed an act granting to Prof. Thomassey the use of all the land on Tybee Island belonging to the State, and allowing him to own and transfer real estate, for the purpose of carrying on his process of making sea salt.--This process, which is said to have been successfully tried in Italy, controls all atmospheric evaporation, the greatest part of which, by the ordinary method, is generally lost for want of practical skill.

We rely upon the Valer of Southern hearts, and the strength of Southern arms, to repel the invader, and look with encoura
