He- remarks, that be has seen it tried only twice, but each time with entire success; and with very sensible caulioi concludes, by saying- the remedy requires to be more fully established." We eta assure our cautious friend, that the reme dy has been fully established down Sonik for years.

It is reported that there is a Salt Region about fifty miles west from Fort Snelflg. (St. Peers.) Several rur traders assert that they frequeuily visited that section of the country, and found salt and saltsprings -- f t,-s it abundance. However that Imue,, say maai ,,.ere ant. 4b'a - til tr the direction indicated. A gentleman com ing through. some years'since. from the Selkirk settlement to St. Peters, says, "hat about t wo days ride from the latter place, their company crossed a small creek, the waters of which were exceedingly brackish., resembling, however, a solution ufglatuber salts; their ponies, though they had travelled all day without water, would not drink ofthem. A Sac Indian, known ms "ludian Jim." says. .-there be salt, salt, lig heaps of salt, in Sioux country; won't ell white man %%here, cause Sioux kill Jim. This Indian says he has not beet there since he was a boy. "Sioux good ludian then, bad Indian now." By this he mseans, when he was there ohe Sioux and his tatiuin were friendly. This was proba ly buhc twenty-five or thirty years since, when the hereditary feuds of these nations, were a short time suspended through thd eXertionb of the wily prophet atid the fa moius Tecumseh. After the defeat and Jeath of that narrior, these nations revi ved their ancient enmity, which still con iinues. We are disposed to place great Coulidence in these re-ports, from the fact the fur tradlers atached to the North Amer ienn Fur Company have always been ex treely anxious so preven that section of the upper country heinig explored by any but those in the itetrest or employ of that Cotpany. Bly the treaty reputed late to hae bieen made by Judge Duty, of Wi. onson,. with the Sioux, a large reservation livig in that direction, is said to have been made its favor of certain individuals fthat Company. What these mesn can want of land in that region, unless it bd for some valuable mineral, cannot well be inagined. There are several specimens of sail, reported to have been brought from these maine's, in this neighborhood; we shall endeavor to procure one as soon as possible, fur the benefit of the curiosts. One gcntletman, who asserts he has visited hese miines, says, that around the margin uf a small lake, the incrustations of salt are several inches thick; in another place, the water emanating from a sprimp, ripples down over beds of~ salt chrystalhzed very like the rock salt ond in the market. We know tnot hnw far to credit these statements, but they ase certainly worthy the atteaties f the hardy adventurer.
