Some persons imagine that they can subsoribe for a newspaper and in a whimsicxl mood cease to take it from the post-office? and there their respon? sibility ends; the reverse is the case, as will be I seen by the following: Decision or the Courts.?Any person who takes a paper regularly from the Post Office? whether directed to his name or another, or whether he has subscribed or not, is responsible for the pay. If a person orders his paper discon? tinued, he must pay all arrearages, or the publish? er may continue to send it until payment is made, and collect the whole amount, whether it is taken from the officj or not. The courts have decided that refusing to take newspapers- and periodicals from the post-office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. gmmfi ?tpxtmmt jggy* Contributions on practical fanning are so? licited from our friends throughout the country. -* The Phosphate Beds around Charleston? A Sepulchre of the Ages. "We copy the following very interesting letter in regard to the Phosphatic beds around Charleston from theAugasta Con stitutiomlist: Mr. Editor :?Doubtless most of your readers have heard of the Charleston Phosphates, but few, probably, have any distinct idea of the nature and extent of the deposits tha? designated, and a brief account of a recent visit to- one of the mines may perhaps prove not only inter? esting bntinstructive. A pleasant drive up Charleston Neck? a portion of the way over a fine shell road, bordered by the fertile and cultiva? ted truck farms, or market gardens, for which that locality is noted, brought us into the neighborhood of the Wando Mines, situated on the Ashley river, nine miles from tbo city. Wo first caught sight of the pictures? que works of the Wando Company from an elevation of some twenty feet above high water, whence the land slopes grad? ually to the rivet* brink. Making our way over ground already worked, we come to the open trench where some fifty or sixty hands were engaged with picks and.spades, laying bare the precious nug? gets?not yellow metal, to be sure, or even of gold bearing quartz, but of a mineral destined to prove of more real va'.no to the State than all the precious metals within her borders. The stratum, which varies in thickness from six to sixteen inches, crops out at kho margin of the river, but the opposite end of the trench which extends back to the base of the hill. It lies perhaps eight inches below the surface. The nodules which the men were throwing out (popu? larly called "phosphate rocks." and known in more scientific parlance as 'kjonglonie rates," "corprolites" and "silicious boul? ders") were of all sizes, from that of a ant to a foot or more in diametor; irreg? ular In shape, but bearing a strong gener? al resemblance to each other^watorworn and perforated in all directions with holes, large and small. A fresh fracture of one these nodules discloses the forms of fossil shells and bones similar to those found in the marl bed below, and when broken or rubbed together they emit a foetod odor. They are embedded in sand and clay, in some places packed very closely together, and in others more sparsely inteisperecd. The bones and teeth of extinct animals are occasionally thrown up with them. The nodules are thrown into large heaps, as they are taken from the mines, whence, after drying awhile, they are convej-cd in small cars, running on a train-way, to the washer j here by means of an ingenious apparatus, driven by steam, the rocks are thoroughly washed and thrown out upon a platform, ready to be conveyed to the wharf and shipped to the manufactory in the city. Such is a rough outline (the principal points only touched) of what I saw on the occasion referred to at that particular spot. To give the reader an idea of the magnitude and importance, as well as the interesting character of this new source of wealth now opened to the State and to the whole South, it will be necessary to take a more general view of the mibject. The phosphate rocks, now proved sus? ceptible of being transmuted?not literal? ly and directly into gold?but into cotton and corn, and thus into greenbacks, have been familiar not only to the planters who turned them up in theircotton fields, the cultivation of which tlioy obstructed but also to men of science, for hah a cen? tury at least; but no one till lately seems to have suspected their value. The marls in the vicinity of Charleston, however, were known to be exceedingly valuable on account of the large per con tage of phosphate of lime which they contain. The digging of these led to the discovery of thai great bed of fossils known to geologists as the Charleston fish basin, and indirectly to an appreciation of the phosphatic nodules. The phosphate bed underlies a large ox tent of ccantry. The stratum crops out on the banks of the Ashley, Ashepoo and Combahee rivers, but is most heavi? ly developed on the first-named. The rock has been found forty miles inland, and it is estimatod that in some instances an acre of laud will produce 500 tons of the rocks. In this region?the great Charleston basin?are found the most wonderful re? mains of extinct animals. Tiioro are quantities of bones, mostly of fishes and reptiles, many ot which were of gigantic size, such as tiio Mogalonyx and the Sau? rian. The bones and teeth of the sliark are also numerous. Some of the Jaiter perfectly preserved, are of enormoii3:?ize' ?weighing from two to two and a half pounds, and as large as a man's hand. Bones of other fish and land animals are also found; in fact, we seem to have opened here one of the great tombs of the ages, in which the remains of thousands of gen? erations are jumbled" np together. The phosphate nodules themselves seem to be a conglomerate of shells and bones em? bedded in silicious rock, which when bro? ken show their forms very distinctly: and analysis gives from 50 to 70 per cent, of phosphate of lime, and from 6 to 7 per cent, of organic matter?in fact their composition is almost precisely that of re? cent bones deprived of the greater part of their organio matter. It is plain then, that we have hens in large quantities the basis for just the fertilizer the Southern planter or farmer needs to restore his worn out lands, and to preserve his fresher soils in all their pristine fertility. This is no longer a mere matter of theory. The fertilizer of the Wando Mining and Manufacturing Compaay has now been thoroughly tasted, and is shown to be not merely equal to the best of the 'standard commercial manures sold, but, especially in sustaining the plant against drought and promoting the early maturi? ty of the cropi3, (vitally important consid? erations,) superior to them all. Having seen something of its effects upon various kinds of crops, I am not surprised to learn that it is gaining favor wherever known. Having for its base the phosphate rock of the Charleston Basin, and being amraoni ated, rendered soluble, and combined with akalinel Bait, it forms a concentrated mix? ture which can be made immediately and fullv available as plant food. "Agricola." - ? The Advance in Agriculture. Of late years the subject of fertilizers for the soil has received great attention. These are now considered essential ele? ments of a proper and improved agricul? ture. Originally the only kind used was the Peruvian guano, so called, because it was obtained from various islands under the dominion of Peru. But this we find not to be adapted to every soil. And hence it becomes mixed with other substances, which not only stimulated the production but added per? manent strength to the soil. Heretofore we were entirely dependent for our commercial fertilizers to importa? tions. But now, at the very moment that the soil needs recuperation, and there is a more universal attention directed to agri? culture and its fruits, the phosphates more than all, best suited for its proper devel? opment, are found in abundance at our very doors. The Baltimore Gazette, in alluding to the vast phosphate beds in South Caroli? na, which have been prominently brought to view since th? war, says: "The discov? ery of vast deposits of pure bone phos? phates in South Carolina, in various parts ?f Germany, and in quite a number of counties in England?but notably along the coast of the estuary of the Severn? has given to commerce ample supplies of this important fertilizer, and has rendered the use of mineral phosphates altogether unnecessary, and, in the interest of the farmer, altogether unwarrantable. The singular deposits to M hich we have alluded date back to an unknown period and ex? tend over vast areas. They are composed, not only of bones abraded and water-worn, but also, to a considerable extent, of cop rolites, which are of animal origin, and are similar in composition to the bones of commerce, and have all their fertilizing properties. An analysis which was made some years ago by Prof. Johnson, of the Severn phosphates, shows that they cou tain fifty per cent, of johosphate of lime, fourteen per cent, of plrbsphate of protox? ide of iron, and twenty per cent, of car? bonate of lime. The average per ccntage of the South Carolina deposits is quite equal to that of the English, whilst excep? tional specimens have been analyzed which contained nearly ninety per cent, of pure phosphate of lime. In Germany it is claimed that the average per cenlage is higher than cither of the others, but this is doubtful, unless the German deposits are rich in remains of ivory." The importance of these discoveries and theiir agricultural value cannot be doubted. The Charleston beds are by far the most productive of any, and the large amount of capital now invested in working them, and in reducing the raw material to a con? dition adapted to tbe wants of the farmer, i indicates the estimation in which these fertilizers, both in their simple form and in combination with Peruvian guano, are held by those who have testf d them. 1 With this exhibition of the great agri? cultural value of the depo jits found at our very doors, we trust that home enterprise, individual or combined, will devote itself to the full development of wealth, and not abandon the field entirely to Northern capitalists, who will absorb the profits which should of right accrue to our own ; section in advancing the great work of re? cuperation in which the people of the : South are so vitally concerned.? Charles? ton Courier. - Deformed Ciullren.?Bowed logs and knocking knees are among the common? est deformities of humanit}1-; and wise mothers assert that tho crookedness in either case arises from the afflicted one having been put upon his or herr iect too early in babyhood. But a Manchester physician, Dr. Crornpton, who has watch? ed for the true cause, thinks differently, lie attributes tho first mentioned distor? tion to the habit some youngsters delight in of rubbing the solo of one foot against the other ; some will go to sleep with the soles pressed together. They appear to enjoy the contact only when tho feet aro naked; they don't attempt to make it when they aro socked or slippered. So the remedy is obvious?keep the baby's soles covered. Knocking knees tho doe tor ascribes to a different childish habit, that of sleeping on the side with ono log tucked into a hollow behind tho other, lie has found that whero one log has been bowed inward more than tho o.ther-, the patient has always slept on one side, and the uppermost member has been the most deformed. Jlero the preventive is to pad the iniiidcs of the knees so as to keep them apart and let the limbs grow freely their own way. - ? Whenever you buy or sell, let or hire, mako a clear bargain, and never trust to 'We shan't disagree about trifles.' Queer Story of a Son's Revenge. We find the following in the Cincinnati Commercial: As far back in our city's history as 1842 flourished a then young scoundrel of six? teen years known as the "The Knife" to those who knew of him and of his habit of invariably drawing a knife upon anybody that happened to in any way offend him. His name was James Watson, but among the companions of his earlier days he was scarcely known by it, "The Knife" having taken its place ever since when he was fourteen years of age he had badly cut a younger playmate upon whom he had fail? ed to force a cheating bargain. "The Knife" firBt became known to the watch as professionally dishonest when, in 1845, ho was caught, with two other bur? glars, in the act of robbing a jewelry storo on the Landing. He managed to wiggle out of this case; shortly after which he left the city and went to Pitts burg, Cleveland, and Buffalo, and even fartlier East, committing many crimes, and almost invariably escaping detection. In fact, it was not until he became well known to the authorities of Buffalo, and was at length detected in a steamboat robbery at that point in 1850, that he was convicted and forcod to serve five years. Eeturning to Buifalo in 1856, and thence to Cleveland and Chicago, Wat? son, in a drunken broil in a drinking sa? loon at the last named city, drew a knife upon William Webb, the captain of tho schooner North Star, and cut him in such a manner that he died of the wounds. Watson escaped tho immediate vengeance that even this crime shouFd have brought upon him. In fact, his identity was not fully established,, and tho police bad no clue along which to follow to his arrest. However, shortly after his father's death, the son, John Webb, a young man of twenty years, learned from one of Wat? son's former associates of Chicago who it was- that had made him fatherless. Obtaining a minute descri ption of his per !son, including a note of a scar aeross his forehead that could not bo easily forgot? ten, he took every step in his power to have him brought to justice. But all i efforts to this end proved fruitless, as ; Watson had gono far South?to Texas it was supposed. In the years that followed oach other John Webb went to the bad under the in? fluence of Chicago life, becoming almost as desperate a character as his father's ?murderer. When tho war broke out ho enlisted in an Illinois regiment and Berveu several years?known always as a reckless, des iperate soldier, fighting br.ively, but al? ways in trouble on account of his insub? ordination. When he was finally dis? charged he went West, and for several years lod a wandering life, until at Fort Benton, a few weeks since., he met this Watson in a gambling saloon, recognized him, threw a glass of whiskey into his f'aco, and then very coolly shot him six times with a revolver, letting his life out through at least thrco mortal wounds. It appears that they were sitting side by side at a faro-spread, both betting white chips on the same cards. Hearing Wat ' son's name called by the dealer, Webb examined his face closely, and finding in it ever)' mark of thoold-timo description, introduced a conversation, and managed to learn from Watson that he was in Chi? cago in March, 1850. tho time of tho mur? der. This settled it with Webb. He didn't wait for tho ovidence of witnesses, or think of appealing to law?a very scarce article in that part of tho world. While taking a drink of whiskey bo carelessly took up some of Watson's chips, as if making a mistake in shifting a bet. Wat? son cursed the mistake and its author, an? nouncing that those were his chips. Webb shifted the glass to his left hand and reck? oned not, at the same time cocking a re? volver in his pocket with his right. Wat? son jumped up and pulled his knife. Webb dashod the whiskoy into his face, blinded him for an instant, .and then, as Watson came at him, commenced shoot? ing, and without going into tho heroics or evon exclaiming "My father's murdoror," proceeded to settle old scoreu. He then walked out of the saloon, and without much trouble made his escape. -? - Training of Editors.?In :he last issue of the Lexington Gazette appoursn lengthy and interesting articlo on Washington College, from which we extract the fol? lowing reference to a new and striking fea? ture, proposed to be embraced in the scope and purpose of that institution. The wri? ter says: That feature of expansive liberality, most attractive and striking to an editor, is the proposal to appoint to free scholar? ships and tho advantages of the college a certain number of young men who pro poso to make journalism their profession. This is tho first distinct recognition ever made by tho so-called centres of wisdom of the true dignity and importance of tho . press. It acknowledges its importance on the weal and love of the country j and shows a wish to aid in its elevation by tho education of those who are to serve in its ranks. It accepts it as a coadjutor in pub? lic instruction, and fraternizes with those who perform its functions as ministers at the altar of knowledge. It perceives in it something beyond a chronicle- of small beer, a destiny that even now affects the welfare of mankind, and in tho future stretches towards the infinite Wo hope to sco a fuller exposition of the valuo of this scheme, and of its capabilities for good. To us it seoms to lay tho founda? tion on which may rise a superstructure honorable to the architects arid glorious of the country. ? To think kindly of each othor is good; to speak kindly of each other is bettor; but to act kindly ono toward an? other is best of all. ? Success in life is very apt to make us forget tho time when we wasn't much. It is just so with a frog on a jump, ho can't remember when ho was a tadpole? but other folks can. ? When friendship is to be valued? value tho friendship of him who stands by you in tho storm; swarms of insects will surround you in tho sunshine. ? An old lady was asked what sho thought of tho eclipse. Sho replied: j "Well, it proved ono thing, and that is that the papers don't always tell lies." - A Railroad Incident. We happened once to be witness to a little scene in a railroad car, which was quite as amusing as the Yorkshire story, and had, by the way, a better ending.? Ursus met bis match. A gentleman?he thought himself one at any rate?entered the car, supplied with all the appliances which seemed to indicate that he was not to be approached. Ho took two seats, fill? ing one with his wraps and baggage, and looking so defiantly as be did so, that even the conductor forebore to disturb his possession. He produced a hat hook, and hung up his castor. He drew from his pocket a cap, and settlod it over his eye? brows. He produced a cup from some re? ceptacle about his person, and slaked his thirst. Then he Bottled himselt on his two places, as if he had taken a lease of them for tho term of his natural life. A harmless traveller, who occupied the seat behind him, awed into respect, but not into absolute terror, ventured some remark to him after the train had started. Now, everybody knows that the starting of a train naturally prompts the moving of tongues. Ursus looked around with an air of profound amazement and wound? ed dignity, like the repollant individual in the comedy of "London Assurance."? He had no valet with him, or he would have asked his flunky, "Cool, is that con? versation address to me?" Having no servant he said notning, but looked unut torable things. "Silence like a poultice came," as Dr. Holmes expresses it, "to heal the blows of sound." The icy pres? ence of the great consequential froze ev? erybody into deferential silence. The train reached Havre-de-Grace. It was in the days when passengers were obliged to leave the cars and walk on board the ferry boat. Ursus gathered up his "impediments," all except his hat, and vouchsafing no word or look to his fellow-passengers, had reached the door of the car, in solemn, silent, unapproach? able dignity, albeit somewhat compromiBr ed by "toting" his own baggage. The in? nocent passenger called out to him, "Sir !" Ho hardly glanced around, as if to say, "who dares address me!v All eyes were now upon the situation. The passenger continued, "I know it is an intrusion up? on-your serene highness; but there is no one hero to preseut or to introduce me, and I hope you will pardon me for the suggestion, but I think you have forgot? ten your hat." Such a shout of laughter rose as brought tbe railroad conductors and brake mon back to see what had happened. ? The noise reached the ferry boats, and tho restaurateurs, in pure absence of mind and astonishment, actually placed on the bar refreshments less than a week old. Ursus was completely subdued. He tried to be equal to the occasion. "Thank yon, sir," he said, and again "Thank you, sir." On the boat he thanked him again.? And when tho train reached Washington, in the gray dawn, ho sought out his hat retriever, and politely repeated his thanks and bade him "Good morning!" But it was at an uncomfortable cost of humilia? tion, in tho smallest of small matters, which might all have been saved by not so much courtesy as simple good nature. ?Philadelphia Ledger. The Wrong Man in the Wrong Place. ?A few days sinco a young couple, just married at Waterbury, Ct., got on board a train on the Nangatuck road, bound for Bridgeport. They had a sweet time, bil? ling and cooing in proper style, until tho train reached tho junction. While wait? ing tho groom took a stroll on the plat? form, and the brido also improved the time to walk to the forward of the car. As the train started she returned, and seeing her husband, as she supposed, seated comfortably; she popped into the same scat, and lovingly rested her head on his shoulder, whilo the cars passed through the covered bridge. Unfortu? nately, she had mistaken her man, and as the cars emerged from the bridge, a trem? bling voice whispered in her oar that he didn't quite comprohond the situation.? Looking up, tho bride found an unknown blushing youth, while her licgo lord was standing in tho aislo with a look of blank astonishment on his face, not knowing what to make of "such conduct as those." The error was corrected at once, but tho fun was too much for the other occupants of the car, and every sleeve contained an enormous though quiet laugh.
