The Manufacture of Saltpetre.
HOW TO ABC KBTAIN THE PREsENCK Of SALTPE
TRE IN EARTH.
Take the earth that you may wish to test,
and pass water through it; then add lye-
made of common wood ashes—to the water
until the clauding ceases; afterwards hoil
down the water until it is thick, then immerse
a slip ol paper in the water, which, when
thoroughly dried, apply to a live Coal of fire
—if it burns with a cracking noise the earth
has more or less saltpetre in it. Nearly all
the limestone caves in East Tennessee aud
Western Virginia, that are Iree from running
water or drips, contain more or less saltpetre.
HOW TO MAKE SALTPETRE.
Put up four hoppers, such as are used in
making lye, fill them with pulverized a&!li>e
tre ea th, pass the dame water through No.
twice, and once—it being the third time
passed through saltpetre earth —through No.
2. After the beer, aa it is called by saltpetre
makers, has settled, draw it od into another
vessel and add common ley to it until it ceased
to curdle or cloud, theu it may be boiled until
it thickens, or until a drop of the beer thrown
on a cold surface crystalizes The beer should
then be suffered to cool, when the Baltpetre
will form in beautiful while crystals. The
saltpetre should then he dried in the sun, and
afterwards put up iu hags or boxes for ship
ment.
The mother beer- alter the crystalized salt
poire has been taken out should he put back
in the boiler again, tor it contains considers
bie Saltpetre not cryntallzed. Bhould the Salt
petre have a dingy color, it is because too
much ley haS been pul in it. The pelre may
he purified by soaking it iu a tub of clear water,
and in that casii the Water should attefWafds
be put into the boiler, because it contains &
great deal ol the saltpetro in solution.
It will be remembered that the beer, follow
ed through the entire process of manufacture,
was first passed through hopper No. 1 twice,
and theu once through hopper No. 2. This-
was dune to give a beer holding a large quan
tity of sultpetre in solution, aud thereby ma
king the boiling process that much lees. Now,
to keep this up, pass the water through No. 1,
then through No. 2, aud afterwards through
No. X, and thole-e .0 the boiler* No(V % NY) *
has been dripped three times, aud is exhaust
ed of saltpetre, and may he emptied and re
filled with new earth. While this is being
done to No. 1, pass water through No. 2, then
through No. 3, and lastly through No. 4, and
then to the boiler. No. 2 may now bo re
filled, and while it is being done, pass water
through No. 3, theu through No. 4, then
then through No. 1, and then to the
boiler. By this mode you always have one
hopper being refilled with new earth, aud ma
king the beer for the boiler without a stop.
You ean increase the number of hoppers to
twelve if you have three hands, and theu you
can make a proper division of the work—one
engaged in boiling, one refilling the hoppers,
and the third making lye. When the earth
contains an average amount of saltpetre,
three hands can make about one hundred lbs.
per day.
The government is giving 60 cents per po’d
for all saltpetre delivered at any depot on a
railroad, in good condition for transportation
on the cars, until the first day of January,
1863, and payment will be made uu the re
ceipt of the depot agent, by any quartermas
ter in the Confederate service.
p. 8.—Common alum may be used to crys-
talise the saltpetre instead of lye, but the
writer is not familiar with the use of alum in
making saltpetre, and therefore cannot give
the quantity to be ured. The manufacturer
can experiment until he gets the proper pro
portion.

Halt springs in Georgia, aud How to
Find Them.
The sail springs of Europe and of the
States.and Territories west of the Mississip
pi, originate in the Oolitic and Cretaccout for
mations, which are not known in Georgia, or
are not very promising. The springs east of
ihe Mississippi occur in the following forma
tions :
The first class of springs, including the
Great Kanawha of Virginia, those of Western
Pennsylvania, Muskingum, Ohio, Kentucky
and Middle Tennessee, is found just below
the coal in large basins or depressions in the
coalfields or towards their western border.
As ihe coal in Georgia is small iu extent and
coufined to the tops of the mountains, large
basins cannot be expected, and this class of
springs may not be looked for with much cer
tainty. Still, as salt is found iu immense
quantities in this formation, diligent search
may lead to the discovery of springs along
the bases of Pigeon, Lookout and Raccoon
mountains, and possibly in the valleys be-*
tween these mountains. Rev. George White,
in his Statistics of Georgia, reports a pure
variety of plaster on the plantation of Col.
Robert II. Tatum, iu Dade couuty. This is
a good indication, as will be seen below.
The seoond class of springs is found con
siderably below the coal, but in the coal for
mation The only instance known to me is
the Holstou Springs, near Abingdon, Va.
Here occurs a bed of rock salt; and the wells
sunk near it yield an almost saturated brine.
Eighteen gallons of the water afford one
bushel of salt, whereas the best brines of
Onondaga, N. Y., yield one bushel to 30 or
35 gallons, and sea water one bushel to 350
gallons. The formation of the Holflton
Springs, as traced out on Prof. Saft’ord’s Go»
ological Map of Tennessee, probably enters
Georgia about Taylor’s Ridge. Mr- White
reports a bed of gypsum near Ringgold.
The valleys on the west, between this and
smaller ranges of hills within a few miles as
also gaps iu the main ridge in Catoosa, Walk
er and Chattooga oyyGia* promising lo-
The third class of springs occurs in an
older formation, near the Silurian rocks. In
this are found the Onondaga Salt Spriugs of
New York, which have yielded over six mil
lions of bushels in a year. The Hon. James
Hamilton Couper, in his Sketch of the Geol
ogy of Georgia, considers this formation to
commence at the Chattoogatta range of moun
tains, aud mentions a bed of anhydrous
limestone, which is a member of the Onon
daga salt group, near the Red Sulphur or
Catooon Springs. This neighborhood and
the valleys at the base of Chattoogatta and
John’s Ridges, and the valleys between
John’s and Taylor’s Ridges deserved special
search. In his notice of Floyd county, Mr.
White ‘says—“ There is in this county a tract
of land, commencing on the west of the Oos-
tanaula and Coosa rivers, extending to Tur
nip mountain, the surface of which is almost
a perfect plain, resembling the flat lands of
Houston county, badly watered. Marl is
fbund in several places, and many salt lakes.’
The last sentence—certainly a remarkable
one—seem to refer to this tract of country,
but from the subsequent context, may be in
tended to apply to other parts of Floyd.
Citizens of the couuty, who furnished this
information to the author, know the facts in
the case, and if there is any evidence of salt
lakes or salt springs, will certainly bring it
to light in a more full and satisfactory form.
The fourth class of springs occurs in a still
older formation, near the base of the Siluri
an, known in New York as the medina sand
stone. This rock is a sandstone, sometimes
red aud sometimes grey, and affords brine
springs throughout its whole extent. The
wells are usually shallow, and not furnishing
large supplies of water like the onondaga
rocks, have not been much worked. This
sandstone may be found east of the Cattoo-
gatta Ridge.
From the above it will be seen that some
members of ihe formations containing salt
oceur iu the northwestern counties. The ex
act salt groups may be absent; but when we
remember that no geological survey of that
portion of the State has beeu made, and Lhat
the examinations of Eastern Tennessee and
Western North Carolina, which correspond
iu geological position, have been cursory and
incomplete, it would be unreasonable to say
that these groups are absent, because they
have not been found. They do not necessa
rily extend continuously across with the
mountain ranges, but may be absent in many
places and occur oniy in local patches. A
geologist might make a pretty complete sur
vey of the whole region, and yet not discover
an isolated group, which would furnish
sufficient salt for the whole State. If
in times of peace a company were about to
embark in the manufacture of salt for profit,
they might require more certain data before
they expended capital in sinking wells in
prospecting for salt. But now, when salt is
necessary to our national existence, a mere
probability should be sufficient to authorixe a
search, and this -probability is furnished by
what has been said.
This search requires no geologist. The
most valuable salt springs in the world have
been discovered by persons with no scien
tific attainments. A geologist, from the great
extent of country might spend two months
with no good result. Whereas, if the citi
zens of that region were put on the alert, the
question might be settled, and without ex
pense, in two weeks. With salt selling at
fabulous prices, the small supply in the Con
federacy beiDg rapidly exhausted, and our
coast so invested as to make the boiling of
sea water difficult and dangerous, the citi
zens of Northwestern Georgia need no argu
ment nor appeal to stimulate them to explore
the whole region thoroughly.
In prosecuting a search for salt, the fol
lowing indications or signs may be valuable :
1. Springs, ponds, marshes or bogs, which
have the taste of salt. The water need not
be strongly salined. Strong brine seldom
rises unaided to the surface. The slightest
taste of salt in a natural water will authorize
further operations, and may lead to to dis
covery of a saturated brine or a bed of rock
salt, as surely as a much stronger water.
2. Deer licks near creeks rivers or ponds.
All “ licks ” are not induced by salt. Wild
animals may be attracted by ooperas, alum or
other Baline substances, and such places of
resort are common iu many parts of Middle
Georgia. But if “licks” be found near bodies
of water in upper Georgia, in the belts of
country above named, they should receive
attention. The Great Kanawha and Salina
■Springs were originally buffalo and deer
“lickB.” “Licks” distant from water are not
so promisiug, unless the earth taBte salty.
3. Beds of gypsum or plaster-of-Paris.
This iB an invariable compa**’"” “* u ’
not an infallibt »—• *«on, for gypsum may
oocor without salt. But, as salt never ap
pears without gysum, beds of gypsum in any
formation, which by the barest possibility
may contain salt, should be examined.—
Should “licks” be found in or near gypsum,
the indication of 3alt is very strong. It. is
not oeartain that the beds reported aboje
really exist, but citizens of Dade county and
titose living near Ringgold should search for
‘‘licks” in these localities.
4. Springs or other waters from whioh rise
bubbles of inflamable gas. Many springs
yield gas which is not inflamable, and pools
or branches give off inflamable gas from de
caying leaves, &c.; these are not intended.
But if springs without decaying vegetable
matter give off bubbles which inflame on Us
ing touched with a torch, they may indicate
salt. Such springs, called burning springs,
are common in Kentucky.
Should a pond, spring, marsh or lick hav
ing the taste of salt, pres ent itself, the next
thing will be to sink a well 15 to 20 feet
deep, to see if the water increases in Btrentgh.
If fresh water from above run in, a hollow
log or square trunk made by nailing four inch
planks together, may be plaoed in the well
and the earth thrown in and rammed down
tightly. The salt water will rise in the log
to the top of the well. If the water increases
in saltness, the problem of salt springs is
solved, but further operations may require
capital and an outfit for boring.
Should this result be attained, I would
suggest that a full statement of all the facts
be furnished to Gov. Brown, or to the Presi
dent of the Georgia Salt Manufacturing Co.,
Augusta, Ga. Means may thus be obtained
for a full investigation. The finder of a pro
ductive salt spring will be rewarded not only
with the Governor’s bounty, but with the
satisfaction of having done more for the sal
vation of the State than many regiments of
soldiers. JOSEPH E. WILLET.
