ter Sart Warer.—In_ looking
over the columns of the Mystic Proneer,a spicy little paper published way
down in Mystic, Ct. we noticed a correspondence from “Salt Point.” We
have taken the liberty of republishing
the letter. It will explain itself. We
do it knowing there are many eéverin
this vicinity who are not aware of the
extent of our Salt Manufactures and
Springs, and the wealth that continually flows from them.
Our Salina Letters.

Eptror oF Pioneer,—Sir, receiv-~
ing the Mystic Puoneer this morning
damp from your press, reminds us of a
promise we made you some few weeks
since, in relation toa letter on the
subject of Salt; and, notwithstanding
the thermometer is 90 in the shade,
we will commence, feeling incompetent to give'anything like an adequate
description of our salt manufactures
and salt springs or to please the readers of the Pioneer. However, we will
briefly as possible take a glance over
what we call the Reservation, which
means the salt lands or the lands owned by the State.
The salt springs are of no recent
discovery. The Indians and the wild

COME MILLIE SING.
Come Millie, sing again that lay
And breath again thy sweetest tones,
They echo still when far away,
Like music from angelic zones
Come, take thy lute, oh touch its string
And blend thine own responsive voice,
For clearer yet those sounds shall ring,
To cheer the heart—thé soul rejoice.
The simplest song of distant climes. »
Calls from its death like sleep, the past--And memories come of other times.
Too pure---too purely bright to last.
Then once again that sonnet, sing-While still before me fleeting glide
The hours of youth-the holiest thing
Known to our earth.—Tus Hour Firesive.

Monsieur Blondin’s Fourth Crossing.-—Niagara Falls was a swarming
hive again, yesterday, filled and overflowifg with an immense throng of
people collected to witness the fourth
repetition of Monsieur Blondin’s daring
feat of crossing the chasm upon a
cable scretched between the cliffs.
The crowd gathered was almost, if not
quite, equal to that ou any former oc»
casion, and the gathering was warranted, for the sighs which was wit
nessed surpassed ail the previous exhibitions of the same character.
From this city we should judge that
the attendance was greater than at
any time befcre, and from Rochester
and other places in the vicinity, on
both sides of the line, it could not
havebeen much less, ifany. Ali the
seats and stand places within view
along the bank in the pleasure grounds
upon this side of the river were crowded, and the inclosvre upon the Canada side was better filled than upon any
other occasion.
Monsieur Blondin rode into the pleasure ground on this side about half
past four o'clock, and started upon his
serial journey after a few moments of
delay in preparation. His trip across
deer long ago frequented” these sali~. to the Canadian shore was accomplishnes. The former making salt enough
to season his bear meat, (if he chose
to use it.) and the latter to lick the
salt whichis continually making on
the earth’s surface when the sun
shines. Butit has been left for the
white man to descend into the bowels
of the earth, and bring out its
wealth in the way of brine, which as
we shall show, not only enriches the
State, but makes us one of the most
flourishing and popolous cities in central New York. We learn bya _ report of one of the old superintendents
of the salt springs, that the first lots
ed quickly as he proceeded ata tripping pace most of the distance, and
only paused a few seconds occasionally to correct his balance and obtain
slight rest.g All of his feats he reserved for the rn journey.
Arrived atthe Canadian bank, he
refreshed himself a little, and took a
rest of perhaps fifteen minutes, when
he again stepped upon the rope and
tripped down the slant, airy plane, toward “the land of the free and the
home of the brave.” When about
half way tothe sentre, he stopped
and sat down, then stretched himself
leased by the State for the purpose of . at full length upon the rope, then permaking salt, was in 1797. During
that year there were 25,474 bushels
of salt manufactured. Since that
time the business has rapidly increased, until it has reached the almost
incredible amount (iu 1858S) of 7,033,219 bushels, or 1,406,644 barrels,
which was sold for $1 25 per barrel,
(Daball’s arithmetic being found in
almost every house N. L. Co., we will
let every reader figure the amount
into dollars and cents for himself.)
We have some twelve wells, aver~
aging in depth from 200 to 300 feet.
Four pump houses, costing near
100,000, laboring day and night, like
mighty giants, sucking, as it were, the
very life’s blood from the heart of the
earth. then throwing it in streams,
eight inches in diameter, high into the
air, depositing it in strong and immense reservoirs erected for the purpose. We have also earth reservoirs
on some elevated positions for low
field works.—One we will give you for
asample which holds brine enough to
make 600,000 bushels of salt. The
brine is carried from these reservoirs through large logs to any part
of the reservation, a distance of several miles.
containing 16,434 kettles under which
coal or wood fire blazes, as unendirg .
as the fires I was wont to hear about
when 1 was a Sunday School boy at
Upper Mystic. In addition to those
blecks, as we call them, we have 30,~
786 salt covers for solar works, covering 600 acres of rich and beantiful
land. Tuere is over $2,000,000 of
private capital engaged in the business
saying nothing of the pump houses,
and the endless net work of logs,
land, &c., which belongs to the State,
forjthe use of which the manufactur.
ers pay the State one cent for every
bushel manufactured. This duty at
the first thought, seems small, but last
year the State received from our reservation $70,332 and some cents.
We employ on and around this _reservation, directly or indirecly, some
5000 men and women, who are barrelmakers, boilers, packers, carpenters,
&c: The amount of wood and coal
consumed, we cannot at this time give
you, but to say it is immense does not
express it.

still greater length, go into particulars,
and make it like one of Cobb’s stories,
whieh is always continued in the New
York Ledger, but we are not only
aware that we have intruded upon
our time, patience and paper, but
but we are also aware that many of
your readers are Old Salts and will
not relish a dish that flavors too much
of Turk'’s Island. So we will close.

formed a number of daring antics, and
finally stood upright on his head, remaining it that reserved position fora
length of time which seemed a moment
at least, swinging and kicking his feet
in the most reckless though ludicrous
manner that can be conceived of.
Resuming his journey he proceeded
but a little way when he again halted
and repeated his perfurmanée with the
addition ct a backward somersault,
and one or two sudden swings around
the rope, which caused a general flutter among hearts cf the spectators, and br t little screams from
many of the ladies.
Starting forward again, he proceeded to the open space in the centre, between the extreme guy ropes that
branch off to either bank, where the
cable spans the gulf without stay or
accompaniment. Here he paused
again, and laying his pole upon one of
the guy ropes, he swung himself under
the cable and ran across this central
space of single cord, in the style of a
monkey ; hanging beneath, and swinging himself by his hands and feet,
with great rapidity. Going back again
in the same gymnastic manner, when
he had returned tothe point where
his pole rested he began a series of
performances whieh outdid, in thrilling
and siartling effect upon the nerves of
the spectators, all that he had done
before.
Clutching the rope with his hands,
he swung his body clear from it, and
hung*for a lengthy period, of more
than seconds, suspended by the arms,
and by one arm, over the fearful depth
ofthechasm. Then he repeatedly
turned such a somersault as is familiar
to boys, throwing his feet over his
head and between his arms, and hanging with the shoulder joints in a most
unnatural position. Then he straightened his body into a horizontal position, still suspended by the arms
thrown backwards as described—an
exertion requiring immense strength,
and calculated to exhaust the nervous
system tremendously. After this he
suspended himself by the legs, and by
one single leg, head downward—whirled around the rope—turned more somersaults—stood upon his head again,
and performed all the most reckless
feats attempted by tight-rope performers under ordinary circumstances.
Twice again before reachiug the bank
he halted and repeated some of these
antics. being determined to fatigue
himself tothe last point of endurance
and thoroughly satisfy the spectators
with his exhibition of daring and skill.
And they were satisfied beyond question. The performance was wonderful, and exciting enough for the most
greedy seeker after sensations; and
was by far the greatest yet given, by
Mons. Blondin.—Buffalo Express,

ENCELADUS.
BY H. w. Loserntsow.
[From the Atlantic Monthly for August.]
Under Mount Etna he lies,
It ie slumber, it is not death ;
For he struggles at times to arise,
And above him the lurid skies
Are hot with his fiery breath.
The crags are piled on his breast,
The earth is heaped on his head;
But the groans of his wild unrest,
Though smothered and half suppressed,
Are heard, and he is not dead,
And the nations far away
Are watching with eager eyes ;
‘They talk together and say,
“To-morrow, perhaps to-day,
Enceladus will arise!’
And the old gods, the austere
Oppressors in their strength,
Stand aghast and white ‘with fear,
At the ominous sounds they hear,
And tremble, and mutter, “At Length !’,
Ah, me! for the land that is sown
With the harvest of despair!
Where the burning cinders, blown
From thelips of the overthrown
Enceladus fill the air.
Where ashes are heaped in drifts
Over Vineyard and field and town,
Whenever he starts and lifts
His head through the blackened rifts
Of the cragsthatkeep him down.
See, see! the red light shines!
°Tia the glare of his awful eyes!
And the storm-wind shouts through the pines
Of ‘Alps and of Appenines,
“Enceladus, arise!’
The Discovery of the Pacific.
Aithough the Pacific was first seen
seven years after the death of Columbus, by Vasco 8 de Balboa. from
the summit of the Sierra de Quarezua,
on the Isthmus of Panama, and a few
days af:erwards navigated in a canoe
by Don Alonso Martin de Benito,
Columbus had obtained precise information of its existence eleven years
before, inthe year 1502, during his
feurth voyage, the one in which he
most displayed the vigor of his genius
He gained the information at Puerto
de Petrete, onthe east coastof Veragua; and he points out, in his carta
rarisima, of the 7th of July, 1503, in
the letter wherein he so poetically
describes his magnificent dreams, in
the clearest manner, the two opposite
lying oceans, or as his sop. says in the
biography of his fatherthe contractior
(estrechez) of the cortinent at that
part. The ocean whose existence
tad been revealed to him by the natives of the country, must lead. he
thought, tothe golden Chersonesus of
Ptolemy and the East Asiatic land of
spices, whither, some day, North
American fleets, built in San Francisco, will sail under the guidance of
the chronometor. The distance ina
straight line, from the Atlantic coast
to that of San Francisco, in California
is about 2,200 miles; andthere is a
knid of pleasure in looking back to
small beginning of our knowledge of
the Pacific—to all that Columbus
could know of it on his deathbed—at
atime when such gigantic projects
are entertained of railways and oceantic eanals through the Narpi and Cupica ; through the Atrato and the Rio
Truardo; the Guasacualco and the
Chimalapa; through the Rio San
Juan and Lake Nicaragua, That
great Columbus, half-forgotten, as I
have elsewhere shown, even by his
cotemporaries, died at Valladolid,
20th of May, 1506, in the firm belief,
shared also by Awerico Vespucci until his death at Seville, (Feb. 22d,
1522, (that they had discovered ouly
the coast of the continent of Asia, and
no new partof the world. Columbus
considered the seathat washed the
western part of Veragua, so near the
gold Chersonesus, that he compares
the relative positions of the Province
of Ciguare, in West Veragua and Puerto Petrete to those of Venice and
Pisa, or from Tortosa, at the mouth of
the Ebro, to Fuenterabia or the Bidassoa, in Biscay; and he reckoned
from Ciguare to the Ganges only
nine days’ journey. It appears to me
worthy of consideration, tov, that at
the present day, the gold fields, which
the carta rarisima of Columbus points
out as lying in the most eastern part
of Asia, are really to be found on the
western side of the new continent.

Napoleon IT. —It appears that the
meeting of the Emperor of France and
the Emperor of Austria, at VillaFranca, was a stipulation providing
for the removal of the remains of
Napoleon II from Vienna to Paris.
A deputation, headed by Prince
Napoleon, will soon proceed to _Vienna, to take the remains of the Duc de
Reichstadt, (Napoleon IL.) which are
deposited in the Augustine Monastery
at Vienna, and convey them to France,
where they will be placed by the
side of those ofhis father Napoleon I.

PATENT AMALGAMATING RIFFLES
Patent Issued March Ist, 1859.
The invention eonsists of forcing Quicksilver into
blocks of wood, which are usea as false bottoms for
sluiees, thereby giving a Quicksilver surface until
the blocks are worn out. As the blocks are gradually worn by the gravel, a fresh supply of Quicksilver is constantly exposed, ready to amalgamate the
gold that comes in contact with them.
The machines for forcing Quicksilver into the
blocks, areof simple construction and durable. On
man can press in one hundred pounds of Quicksilver
in aday, which will give a hundred feet of Quicksilver surface, and the process is easily learned: _
The shop cost of the machines, are from $14 to
$20, according to size.
The following letters from practical Miners at
Michigan Bluffs, Placer County, where the PATENT RIFFLES were first introduced, will show
the estimativn in which they are held by those who
haveused thein;
Micniean Bucrrs, March 28th, ’59.
Mr. Briggs, Sir, I have used your Patent Quicksilver Block Riffles, and consider them the best
method for saving fine gold everused. I used them
on the American River this last summer, and found
that by using them, I could save one-fourth more
gold, than by any other Riffles now‘in use. Hoping
that your Riffles will be extensively introduced
throughout the State, and meet with the success
they deserve. Iremain yours truly.
Grorce E. Benet,
Micniean Buurrs, April Oth ’59
Mr. Briggs, Sir. I have used your patent amalgamating Riffle and am satisfied that itis a good
invention; we have cleaned up more and finer gold
than we ever did before in the same length of time.
There has not beenas much wash running in the
gulch as there will be by and by, as the boys have
not commenced washing pay dirt yet.
Yours truly,
CHAS. W. COOK.
I am now for the first time, trying to introduce
the AwALGAMATING RirFLe into the mines generally. After being thoroughly convinced of its util.
ity and practicability, I am now prepared to fill
orders for all parties that may wish to use it, on
very REASONABLE TERMS,
ZF or Particulars, address J. S. BRIGGS,
Sacramento, through Wells, Fargo & Co’s Express.
