From the Key West Gazette, April 12.
Tar:: SALT POND, AND SALT MAKING AT
KEY WEsT
It-may not be generally known at a
distance, that Salt is of the purest and l
heaviest kind is made at Key West in con- .
siderable quantities. The enterprise was I
commenced about ten years since by a
I Chartered Company, combining the New I
B5edford. and Bahama plans: (i. e.) com- i
biting covered works with an open pond. 4
The " Salt Pond," so called, is a low I
flat surface in the interior of the North
Easterly part' of the Island, based on
limestone, which is covered with tenacious
marie, impervious to .water. It is about t
on a level with the lowest tide, and so flat, t
that eight inches of water will flow the r
w'liole stree hundred and forty acres, a
which constitutes the area of .the pond.- n
Formerly, spring tides flowed over into t
tis pond in two dilffrent places and filled t
it. The water thus thrown in, having no V
outlet, evaporated, and in dry seasons 3
formea Salt without any artificial aid.- a
Au arm of the bay with a very narrow F
eutrance makes into the Northerly part of b
the Island and approaches the Salt pond
in two places; within seventeen ro is. The tl
narrowest part of this bay has been stop- r;
ped with a stone dam, with a tide gate
swinging inwards, which receives and re
tains high water, flowing a pond of about
180 acres. A canal has been cut through
the rock from this bay into the Salt pond
proper, to that part brought under im
provements, and thus the tide pond acts
as a feeder reservoir to the Salt pond and
Salt works. The company have by dykes p
and dams prevented the influx of spring r
tid s into the Salt pond, and thus hold a n
perfectcontrol over it, being able to admit d
or discharge water at their pleasure.- t,
Connected with and adjoining this pond ti
the Company erected 5300 salt-work feet o
of -wooden works, with moveable covers, k
huilt after the New Bedford plan, w.ich s1
is found on experiment with so great a F
surface of pond, to be badly proportioned si
irto water and granula:ing plans. The u
present lessee is erecting additional works n
in which a better proportion is preserved. n
TheCompany expended in Salt works t:
buildings, todls, an" in improvements of o
numerous kinds, exclusive of lands $18, ti
000 each. ti
Last season the lessee raked from the n
covered works more than 18.000 bushels C
of Salt, being about three and a half
bushels from every Salt wprk font of ten
sup.erficial feet.. He also raked from the
ground pans about 14,000 bushels, making A
in all 32,000 bushels. Last spring was
very favorable to the making of Salt, but
the gale in Octoher destroyed or prevented
the making of 10,000 bushels. So that it
may not he more than an average of years.
The lessee will make about half of his
new covered plans of mason work, 'which
is anl experiment, so far as we know, en
tirely new. If succesful, it will certainly y
be permanent.
TI e Salt made at. these works weighs (
SG lbs. to the measured bushel, and the
bitter water is washed, from it, adding to
its purity, beauty, and preservative quali
ty. The a"erago price last year was
about 24c. pc aushel. delivered on board
vessels. I
The work c' .ady done, and now in
progress, will, it is believed, give a suc
cessful impetus to Salt making, that will 1
add to the business of this Island. It is
hard to divert capital from its accustomed
channels, and dircet it to new enterprises.
nor shall we make the attempt. Yet we
b.-1ieve that no enterprise offers a richer
reward in the capitalists, than the Salt
Works on this Island--especially since all ~
the fixed or unproductive capital-requiired
has been expetnded by this Company. and
all the preparatory experime its made, and
experience gained, necessary to a success
works for some yea-s, and we wish him
all tho fine seasons and success, his enter
prise so justly merits- We believe it is the
general wish, however, to see the Salt
W ~orks more rapidly extended than his
own unaided means will admit.
Fire at Perryville.-WVe regret to learn,
(says the Selma Free Press.) that the little
.village of Perryville in the county of Per-r
Sry, was entirely consumed, with the ex.cep
ttion of one house, during last week, It was
visited with are t wo consecutive nights.
There were two stores in the place--one
belonging to the Messrs. Ford, the other
to Mr. Mehton. The fist named gentle- I
men sustained considerable loss--the
goods of the latter were nearly all saved.
.Miliary.-The Western, Mo., Journal
states that the two companies of 3d In-.
fantry, stationed at Fort Leavenworth,t
have been ordered to Fort Jesup, and that
they were to leave by the'first boat.
Fort Jesup is on the Red River, imnme
diately upon the Texas frontier; and,
according to the report of the.Adjutant
General, there are now stationed there
seimen companiies of the 2d Dragoont, eight I
.companies 3d Infantry, and eight compa- I
Snies 4th Infantry. This dnisposition of
r troops doubtless is prompted by the aspect
a of our Texas arid Mexican refations.
The Crops.-It is said that the c~rops in
-tIdiatna, Illinois, Michigan and 'Ohio,
tever look betier nor more promising than
they do at the present time.
- There was a -violent snow- storm last
. noith in Boston Bay. E

or Lorwo in Reins.
It is with feelings of intense sorrow we
perform the painful task of publishing this
extra; ito announce the most awful calam
ity that ever befel this town, and, if we
take all things into consideration, perhaps
never equalled in Wastern Canada. Yes
torday, (Sundayr).about a quarter past
t welve, when most of the inhabitants were
attending divi-ne service in their respective
places of worship, their devotions wero
titerrupted by an-alarm of "fire."! -
The various congregations immediately- - -
ran into the streets, when it was, discov
eredt that the " Robinson Hall" hotel was
on fire, which was soon consumed, togeth
er with a number of mercbants' shops and
warehouses on the opposite side of Dlundas
street, all of which, except the corner one,
'had been erected since the last fire. The
wind, blowing in a stiff gale from the N.
W. by N., and every :tbing as dry as tia
der, it was at the same time raging with
indescribale fury to leewald, sweeping m -
its progress to the South- the width of one
block, and making inr'oads into two others,
It was found impossible to stay -irs
progress until it laid waste four blocks,
and part of three others, e'ontaining an
area, the, principal part of which was
closely -built, of nearly thirty acres ol
ground. It is, however, some consolation
to know, from all the-information we die
collect, no lives were lost on the occasion.
It adds much to public inconvenience
in consequence of the disaster. happening

idea may be formed when it is knowo~that

-The Boston Atlas gives great. promi
nence to a correspondence between Judge
u Wm.. Jay. and W. J. .Bowditch, on -the
subject of the." Duties of the North."
Judge J. defines what these duties are,
and also-the wherefore; their main fea
lure is the.dissolution of the Union. Bow
ditch- is the gentleman who refused,to the
, Southr an apparatus of his invention foi
h strengthening the respiratory organs, be.
. cause he would have nothing to do with
s slaveholders! Judge J. is theson of John
Jay, first Chief Justice of the U S. Sun
i preme Court, and friend and adviger of
-Washington. We regret to say he is a
Fanatic and a Disunionist
The causes- which, in his opiniob, -re
- quire the North to place itself lr opposi
tion to the South and the Uniot; isthe an
nexation of Texas and the polide. regula
t tions of South Carolina and$ousiana,
f subjecting free negroes from the North to
imprisonment in certaimcases. The "Du
ties of the.North" Mr. Jay thus sums up:
"1. To regard the Constitational pro.
-visions relative to fugitive slaves as utterly
revoked and abolished.
"2. To punish every individual, what
ever may be -his office or condition;. who
may have any agency whatever in the ap
prehension or surrender of a fugitive.:
"3. To punish, every persou who with
in our territory -.may exercise, -by deed,
mortgage,' r otherwise ny authority over
slave property.
4. Whenover any or.ourcolored ciii-.
zens are imprisoned. at the South on'ac
count of their complexion, to seize srade
quate number of the citizens of the State
committing the outrage, who may 'be
found on our soil, and hold them as hosta
ges for the liberation and full compensation'
of said colored citizens.
"5. To petition Congress and the State
Legislatures to take. measures for an ami
cable dissolution of the Union."' -
Such mad-and fanaticalsuggestiose-we
are lure, will- find no favoramtong-the great
body of the Northern: people. They.are
too faithful in their devotions to our Union
to c6untenance such destructive. counsels.
Apart from their regard for the 'Union,
they have too much good sense, too clear
an' appreciation of the' common benefits
the North and South derive from the Union,
to join any such a crusade against its
peace and existence.
We trust that in the language of the
Times and Compiler, from which we
have taken the above, "such mad and
fanatical suggestions will find no favor
among the great body 6f the Northern
people. Surely the larger portion of that
people must be too intelligent, too patriot
ic to entertain such views for one moment;
and we are surprised and mortified that
men having any pretentions to sense and
justice can be found in this confederacy,
willing to hazard every immunity they en
joy under the Union, and all the future
blessings to their posterity which the pa
triot may anticipate from its preservation,
by the publication of such sentiments as
are here attributed to Messrs. Jay and
Bowditch, alike indicative of a total ab
sence of national pride and common pru
dence.
We publish this from no unkind feeling
for the North, but from a sense that it is
only sheer justice to the people of the
South. that they should he informed of
the existence and doings of these evil spir.
its who are abroad, anxious to sever the
bonds of peace by which we are united, to
deprive us of the enjoyment of those priv
ileges with which we. came into the con
federacy, and to blot out from our rement
brance those deysin which we were made
one people. and those deeds which won
for us the appellation of a 'great people.
We do, hiowever, complain that our
friends at the North, if they are truly and
sincerely not against us, should lend their
countenance and support to leading politi
cal 'journals, who like the Boston Atlas,
open their columns for the receptiorr of all
the angry,- acrimonious and imbittered
productions of light-brained euth usiasts
and political capitalists, against men who
love their country too devotedly to do it
hatir, and who respect themselves too
highly to dream of treason.
It seems, indeed, that so far as the ques
tion of Slavery is concerned, the strong
p arty lines which heretofore existed at the
North, are to a considerable extent forgot
teu, or they are effaced by what they con
ceive to be consideration of much htgher
magnitude. Whbigs and Democrats too,
,to a certain extent, uoite in denouncing
, the South, ar-d are almost ready to en
-dorse the speech of Mr. Macauley in the
ilHouse of Commons, in wvhich we are
i called "slve-breeders" for another mar
ket, and denounced in more violent terms
than those who are engaged in the African
Slave Trade. And cow, wvhen staunch
Whigs and staunch Democrats at the
I North, who have so long and fiercely bat
.ted in opposition. on political subjects, are
rushing into each others embrace, willing
to forget old jars and discords and disagree
ments, and ready to unite in a terrible atid
exterminating crusade upon the peculiar
-institutions of the South; substituting
Shavery for Democracy and Slavery again
for WVhiggery, tearing down the banners
in defence-of wvhich, in former days, they
Sdid such manful service, and, -in their
fsteadl, flinging to the breeze which wafts
-. blessings indiscriminately to a ft-ce and
r happy -people, the black flag of Slavery
) Slavery, Anti-Texas and Disunion ;-we
say,' in view of-this spirit of desolationt
which is spreading abroad with p'bitln
i tial rapidity,, what are the people of the
k South to-do?' i is for them to decide!
