! The Value of One Square Mil in Vir

' '"' Mclimonil i.,:rra- says:

I calculating it al Sliin.liiMl per ncro, which
is much more thuli it would hring, t-xiept
in favorite loctilities, would ho worth !sh l
t ii m i.i ii a i, and yet ti c ran lind several IocjI.
iti, - in tho mountains of Virginia, which
are in reality, l.tr more valunhle. . 'tie of

'l''Uv nnlo w.thm tho circuuilerein e ol
the salt ha-in, inchidmg al,,. tho gypsum
formation within tho same urea, wo can
show hy close cadcuhUio,,-, to ho worth
not only more than one -unrc mile in the
''" 'f N'-' Vork, hut more than the
'n
city.
The .-alt rock within this square mile
ranges from seventy to one hundieJ feet
in thickness, which would yield u net ton,
til- forty hushels of .-alt to every solid yard
it contains, or over three thousand mil
lions of hushels ! which, when manufactu
re I, is worth from forty to (illy cents a
hti-hcl. Hut, iirt-sitmini: it to he worth
twenty cents per Lushcl in the ground,
and we have six hundred millions of dol
lars, to which we must add two hundred
and til'ty millions of tons of plaster within
the same space, worth with the ground a
kout one dollar per ton, making a total of
eight hundred and lifty million dollars
New York property is valued at seven
hundred and fifty million dollars.
In another place we estimated the value
of this mineral deposit at only twonty'eight
hundred million hush, salt, without ref
erence to the plaster or the land improve
ments. Put the present one we make ns
a hoa.-t against any thing that tho world
can produce, and, of course, have not al
lowed any "contingencies in our calcula
tions. The oho sipiaro mile, idhidod lo a-
hove contains uhout all tho salt, hut not
one tenth iiart of the l.laster. The estate
contains uhout ten thousand acres.
We migh also choose a square railo on
tho iron mountains of Alleghany County,
which, when properly developed, would
he worth more than ull the farms in Vir
ginia: or we might choose a square mile
f.f the lead property at the Old 'Yityne
Lead Mines, and, only estimating it ac
cording to the yield up to the present
! time, at a moderate profit in tho ground,
and our ligures w ould run into millions.
SINGULAR INCIPFNT.
The Havana I'rin:n notices a rcmarka-
hie incident as one of the results of the
shock from the explosion ; no less than
the restoration to reason of u lady of that
r'!.v wnf n!, oiitiroly lost her min l.some
six moths ngo, from a severe and protract
ed spell of sickness. During the whole of
that period she did not recognize any one,
not even her parerts nnd other near rela
tives. When the explosion took place
she. was instantly thrown into violent pa
roxysms, which the family considered ns
an indication of tho speedy approach of
death. The paroxysms gradually suhsided
and all were rejoiced to find her situation
Unite the reverso of what was expected :
her :eason was entirely restored! This
case presents an interesting iiuc.stion for

Among the most amusing that we have
met with laetly, is related of a respectahl
gentleman in Windsor county, Vermont
w ho some years ngo, had an amLition to
represent liis native tilwn in the State
Legislature. Though u mini of good nor.
al charueter, and in every way ipialilied to
fill the office he sought, ho happened, us
Aunt Peggy used to sny, to have "a gri ut
many winning ways to make folks hute
him," and was, in fact, the most unpopu
lar man in the town. doing to 'Sitiiire X.
an influential man who happened to he
friendly to him, he laid his ease Lcfore
him, and nskod hia influence ; saying that
he didn't expect help without paying for
it, and declaring that if he could get X's
influence lie was sure to he elected. The
'Siiuirc "put in his host jumps" for his
man ; hut when the votes were counted,
another man was declared elected. The
disappointed 'candidate culled out to know
how the vote stood, nnd learned that he
had pot just three votes! "Put I don't
understand it," said he, turning to the
'Situiro with a chop fallen countenace.
"Nor I either," said the 'Squire, "I put in
one vote ; you put in nnother ; Put who
the deuce put in th. third is more than I

We that is to say, James . Jones, ed
itoroflho Ouachita II,rtiil, und Into can
didate for Congress are ingloriously de
feated. To use a classical and entirely or
iginal expression, "we have met the ene
my and we are thciis." Wo evidently
cast our pearls hefore sw ine. We mag
nm.inioiisly, and at a considerahlo Kncri
liee of our habitual self respect, offered it,
servo a people who Inul no appreciation of
the ottering. We cant help it. Wo did
n't make the people, and are not under
contract lo supply them with brains. If
they were w ilfully blind to our merit, the
fault is theirs. If they are opposed to re
ceiving individually one hundred and fifty
acres of land a piece, they have a perfect
right to reject it they ought to know
w hether or not they deserve it. If they

them iH-kkd for all wo care.
At an enormous expense ofsixten dol
lars and thirty-two cents, wo printed a
multitude of circulars, sufficient, we
thought to elect any man, tvith which wj
Hooded this congressional district, and a
hu ge portion of the Cherokee nation. Wo
w rote to our friends, and to some who
were not our friends, to rally to our sup
port. Put they d'.Pnt rally. Wo then
coiiiiealcd oui'self us well as wo could at
home, refusing positively t o extend our ac
quaintance, or to see more ot the public
than the public did of us. With these
l eciiutions mc deemed success certain.
A great many persons wrote us that we

Put w e forgive (Item, for (hey made us feci
comfortable for u while ; and all earthly
iappines is transitory. We shall never
iceoino a candidate again without consult

ertal.iing whrther they do or do not de
sire us to run ; for we are satisfied that it
is folly to be a candidate unlesB somebody
Iocs want you to run, and will vote "or
you on the strength of that desire.
We are not without consolation. We
ire not the only candtdato that was de
feated. There arc numbers in as bad a
fix as oiirself. And besides, greater men
than we claim to be, have been as badly
beaten.
Among our numerous friends, ex Gov
ernor Drew is entitled to our warmest ac
knowledgements. Ilisintention, doubtless
was to assist us in beating Rust, hy proj
curing a largo and influentiari majority of
the Democratic party to vote for him.
With this object in view, he mado a hril
iant canvass, ending in rio less a hriliant
failure. Put, notwithstanding he carried
off a considerable portion of our vote, wc
honor him for his laudable intentions..
Hereafter he has hut to command us, and
we will obey if it suits us to do so.
To the fifteen patriotic nnd chivalrous
voters, who cast their sull'rages in Tike
county, we beg leave to tender our sincere
nnd unfeigned gratitude. Wc owe then,
a debt that will be diHicult to repay. A
a slight evidence of our appreciation and
lasting regard, we propose that if they will
forward us a list of their names, wo will
send them the lln-nhl for life nt tho usua'
price, three dollars per nnntim, lrrtfrbihr-
in advance.
In conclusion, we desire permission to
reiiinik, that the small experiment w
have ju-t made is eminently satisfactory.
Whatever aspirations we may havo hat'
for glory are entirely suMuod. The pur
