Salt.

--We learn from the Franklin (Macon county) Carolinian, that wagons from the Virginia Salt works had returned there, having been out 27 days with only 20 bushels to the team. Its cost, at Franklin was near $6 a bushed. The government is stated to have seized the works, and will manufacture for the people as well as for itself. The proprietors gave a $10.000 bond not to sell above fifty cents; but paid the forfeit some time ago and sold at seventy-five cents.
