till January and February need not despair. It is no wonder that herculean endeavors should be made to increase the supply of salt, for I am told that fifteen hundred dollars is the daily income of the proprietors. This is too much money for any set of men to be making during the war, and the State authorities should take steps immediately to obtain possession of the mines and furnish salt to needy thousands at prime cost. I have obtained several interesting facts, in connection with Abingdon, which I will communicate in a future letter. For the present, I will state that nothing exciting has transpired here, except a shooting scrape between a citizen of the town and a member of company "A." The person who was so unfortunate as to receive the contents of a shot gun was Adoniram Brummel. The friends of Adoniram in Mecklenburg will learn with pleasure that he is now doing well, he having most miraculously escaped instant death. Hereafter my nom de plume will be "Occasi

I cannot perform a more acceptable service to the country readers of the Dispatch, particularly those who live in good old Mecklenburg, than to jot down my observations as to that very scarce article — salt. Being seated now within a dozen miles of the "Washington County Works," and having diligently inquired into the matter, I arrive at the following conclusion: The proprieh I will communicate in a future letter.

nce of the Richmond Dispatch.] Abingdon, Va., Dec. 11th, 1861. I left Richmond yesterday morning as "your own," and reached this place this morning at 3½ o'clock. The trip was deprived of much interest and incident by being accomplished, from Liberty, at night.--Thus the fine farms and the rich scenes of the Virginia Valley were shut out from the view. I found the 56th Regiment Virginia Volunteers, Col. Wm. D. Stuart, in high glee at the supposed prospect of being ordered to Bowling Green. Their ardor was somewhat abated however, when their means of transportation failed, and they were compelled to return to this place. The order sending these brave fellows to Kentucky was countermanded, and they are now anxiously awaiting a telegram from the Adjutant-General, assigning them duty. Since penning the above, an order has been received from headquarters directing the regiment to proceed to Pound Gap or thereabouts. As it will require several weeks to procure transport
