U near the Medioal OoLege. v “
Take the earth that yon may wish to test,
and paaa water through it; then add lyc—
mad* of common wood ashe#—to the water
until the aloudi*xg cease*; afterwards boil
down the water until it is thick, then immerse
e slip of paper in the water, which, when
thoroughly dried, apply to a live eoa! of £re
—if it burns with a cracking noise the earth
has more or leas saltpetre in it. Nearly all
the limestone caves in East Tennessee and
Western Virginia, that are free from running
water or drips, contain more or less sal tpetre
HOW TO MANN IALTPET&J8.
Put up four hoppers, such as are used in
making lye, fill them with pulverized saitp;
Ire earth, paaa the same water through No.
twice, and once—it being the third time
passed through saltpetre earth—through No.
2. After the beer, as it is called by saltpetre
makers, has settled, draw it otf into another
vessel and add common ley t-o it until it ceases
to curdle or cloud, then it may be boiled Uutil
it thickens, or until a drop of the beer thrown
on a cold surface crystaliaos. The beer should
then be suffered to cool, when iho saltpetre
will form in beautiful white crystals. Tbe
saltpetre should then be dried in the sun, and
afterwards put up in bags or boxes for ship
ment.
The mother beer—after the crystalised salt
petre has been taken out—should be put back
in the boiler again, lor it contains considera
ble saltpetre not crystaliced. Should the salt
petre have a dingy color, it is because too
much !*;• has been put in it. The petre may
be purified by soaking it in a tub of c.ear water,
and in that case the water should afterwards
be put into the boiler, because it contains a
great deal of the saltpetre 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 then onoe through hopper No. 2. This
was done to give a beer holding a large quan
tity of aalipetre in solution, and thereby ma
king the boiling process that much less. Now,
to keep this up, pass the water through No. 1,
then through No. 2, and afterwards through
No. 8, end thence to the boiler* Now, No. 1
has been dripped three times, and 1b exhaust
ed of saltpetre, aud may DU emptied ann 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. 8, then through No. 4, then
4, then through No. 1, and then to the
boiler. By this mode yon always have one
hopper being refilled with new earth, and ma
king the beer for the boiler without a stop.
You can increase the number of hoppers to
twelve if y*u have three hands, and then 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
oontains an average amount of saltpetre,
three hands can make about one hundred fi>s.
per day.
The government is giving 50 cents per po’d
for all saltpetre delivered at any depot on a
railroad, in good condition for transportation
on the ear., until the first day of January,
1865, and paym.nt will be made on the re
ceipt of the depot agent, by any quartermas
ter in the Confederate service.
P. 8.—Common alum may he used to crys
tal!.* the saltpetre instead of lye, but the
writer is not familiar with the use of aium in
making saltpetre, and therefore cannot give
the quantity to be ured. The manufacturer
yaw experiment until he gets the proper pro
portion.

The salt springs of Europe and of the
States aud Territories west of the Mississip
pi- originate in the Oolitic and Oratocooua for
mations, whioh are not known in Q«orgia, or
arc not very promising. The springe east of
the Mississippi occur in the following forma
tions :
The first class of springs, including tbe
Great Kanawha of Virginia, those of Western
Pennsylvania, Muskingum. Ohio, Kentucky
and Middle Tennessee, is found just below
the coal in large basins or depression, in the
coalfields or towards their western border.
As the coal in Georgia is small in extent and
confined to the tops of the mountains, large
basin3 cannot be expeoted, and thi. class of
springs may not be looked for with muck cer
tainty. Still, as salt Is found in immense
quantities in this formation, diligent search
may lead to the discovery of springs along
the bases of Pigeon, Lookout and Raoooon
mountains, and possibly in the valleys be
tween Lhese mountains. Rev. George White,
in his Statistics of Georgia, reports a pure
Toriciy of plaster on the plantation of Col.
Robert H. Tatum, in Dade county. This is
a gcol indication, as will be seen below.
lbe second class of springs is found con-
eiJerably below the coal, bat in the coal for
mation. The only instance known to me is
the Holston Springs, near Abingdon, Va.
lieio 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
Ouonduga, N. Y., yield one bushel to 30 or
35 gallons, aud sea water one bushel to 850
gallons. The formation of the Holatou
Springs, as traced out on Prof. Salford’s Ge
ological Map of Tonaesaoe, probably enters
Georgia about Taylor’s Ridge. Mr. White
reports a bod of gypsum near Ringgold.
The valleys on the west, between this and
smaller ranges of hills within a few miles as
also gaps in the main ridge in Catoosa, Walk
er and Chattooga counties are promising lo
calities.
The third, olasv of aprioga mmh i« »■
older formation, near the Silurian rooks. In
this are found the Onondaga Salt Spriugs of
New York, which have yielded over six mil
lions cf 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, and mentions a bed of anhydrous
limestone, which is a member of the Onon
daga salt group, near the Red Sulphur or
Catoosa Springs. This neighborhood and
the valleys at tbe base of Chattoogatta and
John’s Ridges, and the valleys between
John’s and Taylor’s Ridges deserved special
search. Iu his notioe of Floyd oonnty, 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
fGund iu several places, and many salt lakes.”
The last sentence—certainly a remarkable
oae —geem to refer to this tract of country,
but from the subsequent context, may be in
tended to apply to other parts *f Floyd.
Citizens of the county, who furnished this
information to the author, know the facts in
the case, aud if there is any evidence of sell
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 iu New York as the medina sand
stone. This rock is a sandstone, sometimes
red and sometimes grey, and affords brine
springs throughout its whole extent. The
wells are usually shallow, and not furnishing
larze supplies of water like the onondaga
rocks, have not been muoh worked. This
skndstone may be found east of the Cattoo-
gat'.a Ridge.
From the above it will be seen that some
members of the formations containing salt
occur in tbe northwestern counties. The ex
act salt groups may be absent; but when w*
remember that no geological survey of that
portion of the State has been made, and that
the examinations of Eastern Tennessee and
Western North Carolina, which correspond
is ecological position, hare been curstry and
incomplete, it would be nnreasonable te sivy
that these groups are absent, because thuy
have not been found. They do not necessa
rily extend continuously across with tkt
mountain ranges, bat may be absent in many
places and occur only in local patohee. A
geologist might make a pretty complete sur
vey of the whole region, and yet not discover
au isolated group, which would furnish
sufficient salt for the whole 8tate. If
in limes of peace a company were about te
embark in the manufacture of salt for profit,
they might require more certain data before
they expended capital in sinking well* in
! prospecting for salt. Bat now, when salt is
1 necessary to our national existence, a ssere
probalihty should be sufficient to authorise ■
search, and this probability is famished by
wbat has been said.
This search requires bo geologist. Ths
most valuable salt springs iu the world have
been discovered by persons wiih 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 tff 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 being 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 indication» or signt may be valuable :
1. Springs, ponds, marshes or bogs, which
have the taste of salt. The water need not
be strongly salincd. Strong brine seldom
rises unaided to the surface. The aliyhlett
ImK of talt in a naiur.i! rater wii: authorize
farther operations, and may lead to to dis-
oevery of a saturated brire or a bed of rock
salt, &a surely as a muco stionger water.
2. Deer licks near creeks rivers or ponds.
All “ licks ” are not induced by salt. Wild
animals may be attracted by soperas, aluai or
other saline substarces, 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, iu the belts of
oountry above named, they should reoeive
attention. The Great Kanawha and Salina
Springs were originally buffalo and deer
“licks.” “Licks” distant from water are not
bo promising, unless the earth taste salty.
8. Beds of gypsum or plaster of-Paris.
This is an invariable companion of salt, tho’
not an infallibi indication, for gypsum may
ooour without Balt. But, as salt never ap
pears without gysurn, beds of gypsum in any
formation, which by the barest possibility
may contain Bait, should be examined.—
Should “licks” be found in or near gypsum,
the indication of salt is very strong. It is
not oeartain that the beds reported above
really exist, but citizens of Dade county and
those living near Ringgold should search for
‘‘licks” in these localities
4. Springs or other waters from which rise
bubbles of inflamable gaa. Many springs
yield gas which is not inflamable, and pools
or branches give off inflamable gas from de
caying leaves, &c.; these aie not intended.
But if springs without decaying vegetable
matter give off bubbles which inflame on be
ing touched with a torch, they may indicate
salt. 8uch springs, called burning springs,
are common in Kentucky.
Should a pond, spring, marsh or lick hav
ing the taste of salt, present itself, the next
thing will be to sink a well 15 to 20 feet
deep, to see if the water increases in strentgh.
If fresh water from above run in, a hollow
log or square trunk made by nailing four inch
planks together, may be placed in the well
and the earth thrown in and rammed down
tightly. Tbe salt water will rise in the log
to the top of the well. If tbe water increases
in saltness, the problem of salt springs is
solved, but further operations may require
capital and an outfit for boring.
Shonld this result be attained, I would
suggest that a full statement of all the facts
be furnished to Gov. Brown, cr to the Presi
dent of the Georgia 8uli 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. WlLLET.
