The salt litigation, which has been carried on ilditorlally between the Tii bune and the World, has elfcited one valuable fact—if proof prove's anything, IC is, that Anielican rock salt is not only equal but superior, to the foreign article for preserving uieat.S. We had thought differently ; and we know• that those who pack beet and pork fur use in a wuru climate and on lung voyages, have always, thought it necessary to use the best of iintiorted rock Salt.
