Thc Phosphate Beda or South Carolina. A TRIBUNE CORRESPONDENT m SEARCH OF IN? FORMATION - HTS IMPRESSIONS CONCERNING THE GREAT DEPOSITS ON ASHLEY RIVER AND THEIR VALUE-<; A DOUBTING THOMAS "-HE THINKS THE SPECIMENS " A GOOD CALCAREOUS MANURE" BUT NOT PURE PHOSPHATES -BOTH SLOES OF THE 8T0BT. Wefindthe following letter, dated Charleston, January 1, in tho New York Tribune. Its state? ments are highly interesting, as showing the impressions of an intelligent, though porhaps somewhat prejudiced Northern man concerning the practical value of the stratum of marl re? cently brought to light in our neighborhood, and the qualities of which, as a fertilizer, have excited so much public curiosity and discussion. The correspondent writes : Doubtless the fact is familiar to all your readers that the South Carolina planters have been for some months agitated by a reported discovery of a valuable substance upon Ashley River. Some called it bone earth; others phos ?hate guano; others gave it no special name, ut declared it the "most valuable fertilizer ever discovered-exactly tho thing needed to grow cotton-capable of renovating the most infertile or worn-out plantations-a mine of wealth richer than gold or silver," &c. And then we heard of a company organized, of course with foreign (Northern) capital; and that the article was being excavated, and shipped to Philadelphia, "tobe manufactuied." That last sounds a little suspicious to those who have used "manufactured" bone dust, undei the name of superphosphate. I cer? tainly never went in pursuit of knowledge under greater difficulties, than I did while try? ing to quarry the truth out of the velley of j know-nothingism, touching this new fertilizer. I found several very intelligent planters, who assured me that they had tho real article in abundance upon th?ir plantations, and from several of them, and from different localities, I obtained samples, some of which I forwarded to you. To me they looked exactly like first rate shell marl; the shells being well decom? posed, pulverulent, and firmly cemented to? gether into masses of rock, which one man said had broken lots of ploughs for him. I pronounce this a good calcareous manure, when reduced to powder, either by fire or mechan? ical manipulation. The question will be the cost of quarrying, grinding, transporting, as compared with its value as a fertilizer. This is a matter of experiment, which chemistry has little to -do witu-guess-work still less. Its raine must be tested in tbe field. I found out the location of "The South Car? olina Mining Company," on the corner of Krog and Wentworth streets, and learned that it had been organized with a million of dollars capi? tal, for the special purpose of developing this "great deposit." I was told that its President, Prof. Holmes, could tell me all about it, and I have no doubt he could; but he did not. At first he was not in, and I learned nothing then, and not much more in the hour that 1 sport with him subsequently, except the fact that he is a remarkably fluent talker, who possesses a wonderful abirity not to convey any informa? tion that ho does not desire to communicate. At both my visits to the office of the company it struck me as singular that they had not a single specimen of "phosphate;" but I am sure, from a little practice, that I saw some speci? mens of gold ore, and overheard the remark that Borne of them were remarkably rich. Hence I conducted that the South Carolina Mining Company aro not exclusively devoted to efforts to enrich the soil. I learned from a son of Prof. Holmes that he has been engaged for some months in buying up all the planta? tions containing the "rich deposits," whatever they may be. I also learned f hat about oao hundred men were now eugaged in bringing these deposits to the surface. But I did not learn what for; nor what they were. I have al? ready said they show no samples in the office of the company, nor give any information-at least, none that would satisfy my inquiries, and from which I could gather anything useful to your readers. So I went to look for it some* where else. I had formerly known something of Dr. St. Julien Ravenel; and later had heard of him as still devoted to scientific investiga? tions, and of a truthful, honorable character, and X bethought mo that he was the man to give the desired information. Upon inquiring at his brotner's office, I found he had gone to Ne* York. Thus I missed that opportunity; but I met with a gentleman who I knew, and could rely upon, who told me that ho had fre? quently talked with Dr. B&venel upon this question, since so much bab been said about it, and this is what he says: "Tho substance in question is simply a rich marl, from decom? posed sea shells, underlying a groat extent of country, particularly between the Ashley aud Cooper Rivers, but generally being too deep to work. As the stratum is only twelve to eigh? teen inches thick, it cannot be mined like coal veins, but must be excavated by removing tho earth from the surface. No doubt this marl contains phosphate, but I have never found any that gave sixty per cent., which I have seen published as the average. The specimens which I have analyzed have generally shown four to fifteen per cent, of phosphate, and sixty to seventy-hvo per cen:, of carbonate of lime". Of course these were selected speci? mens. The mass will not average as high in either carbonate or phosphate, being much mixed with siliceous matter, and the whole formed into a pretty solid rook, which must be reduced to powder before it can be of any value as a manure. I have no doubt it will prove a valuable application to the soil of South Carolina, particularly when mixed with swamp-muck for cotton manuring." This is one side. Here is the other, as near as I can give it, condensed from a subsequent talk with Prof. Holmes, in which he manifest? ed the almost universal Southern suspicion by apreliminary inquiry : "What is your object ? What use do you want to make of this .infor? mation?" Having assured him that I was not a rival mining company, nor a Yankee specula? tor, who, taking auvantago of "poor South Carolina," was buying up her impoverished plantations, he then told me, m many words, "that this gre it phosphatic deposit was noth? ing nsw to him ; that it wan something entire? ly difiere at from th'- marl deposit of Dr. Rave? nel, and others ; that it was almost pure bone earth, averaging sixt .-two per cont of soluble phosphate, and some specimens, which he hod Mttjajajf analyzed, gave ninety-five per oent ; that it was only found in one basin containing sixteen square miles, on the Ashley, five to nine miles out of Charleston, all of which his company had already purchased." His son had previously assured me that he had been engaged all summer in buying up the whole of tho land, covering tho great de? posit, and therforo all persons outside of that limit who pretended to have anything of the Bame sort were simply mistaken. He even assured Dr. Sym, who owned an adjoining plan? tation, and was exhibiting some specimens to me, that they were quite worthless, although he could not, nor oould his father to whom they were exhibited, discover wherein they differed from tho Simon Pure article. Dr. Sym assures me that such as his specimens are, "may be found cropping out over a wide extent, reaching from the sea-beach far back, and fifty miles along the coast." But Prof. Holmes says : "Only in ono small basin, at a particular location on the Ashley, is the deposit phosphatio, although in other places it looks as though it was the same. I first discovered this great bed of phosphato in 1813. and showed it to Edmund Ruthi), Geo? logical Commissioner of the State, and to Prof. Agassiz, both of whom declared it was one of | the wonders of th ? world ; for I found not only the remains of sea animalB, but those of man. Gooloiricany, thia deposit is of tho samo age as the London basm, aud in some things the two are strikingly alike." They are to mo strik ingly unlike, if this 8outh Carolina basin con? tains human remains, inbedded in a sea de KBit of "flour of bones" ancient enough to ve become solid rock, and of the same age as the clay and ohalk of the London basin. I also agree with all tho above named scientific gentlemen, that this deposit is oue of "tho wonders of the world" it it does contain niuetv five per cent, or anything below that down to fifteen per cent, of soluble phosphate-real animal phosphate, and not apatite rock ; be? cause it will then be the means of wholly reno? vating tho worn-out cotton plantations of I "poor old South Carolina," and will amply re? pay the cost of digging it up from "an average depth of five feet, and reducing it to powder and manure. But there is an injunction, "prove all things; hold fast that which good;" and it may be safely applied to the present case, before vo beoome too certain thal the philos jphcr'ii stone is discovered, which will restore poverty-stricken land to fertility. I hope this "?real deposit of phos? phates, " will prove' to be all that the most san? guine believe, or, at least, assert. I behove that all calcareous deposits ore valuable mano? rial substances, but the. cost and beneSt of j application must be carefully calculated. No country more neetls a cheap l'erti izer than South Carolina, for almost uni ver sal dteourage raent prevads. The crop of upland cotton raised in 1867 is light, and was produced at great cost, yet is Belli ag at almost ante-war prices. The prospect af the ne:rt crop is in? deed gloomy. Tho sea island crop ?B very near a total failure, ye': none but the extreme fine qualities will sell for over one dollar a pound. I know of one planter who expended $3,000, and got only a bag and a half of cotton -a bag of cotton being three hundred pounds. That is the way Bea iiland, or long staple, is counted. A bile (upland, or short staple) ?B four .hundred pounds. The cause of failure of the long staple crop W8S the protracted ra ny season, which made it late, and consequently exposed to the cater? pillar, which is only destructive in its third generation, and totally so to all late crops. Those only who platted early, tended care? fully, fertilized highly, escapod. Just such a cheap fertilizer as th? ono which tho '"South Carolina Mining Company" professes the ability to furnish from its ""inexhaustible bed of phosphates," would have saved the crop of sea island cotton, and been worth $1,000,000 this year to the plan;erB; for the uso of any stimulating manure vould put the plants for? ward two weeks, and that would haye saved the crop from destruction by this pest of the planter, which is equal to the midge to the wheat grower. It is said to prevail only once in twenty-one years, * .uch a ruinous extent. Who knows? Not I. S. R. Oirmcrrial. Exports. BARCELONA-Per Spaaiah brig Manuel-371 baler. Upland Cotton.

PHILADELPHIA UNIVERSITY OF MEDICINE AND SURGERY. THE PHILADELPHIA UNIVERSITY OE MEDI? CINE AND SURGERY was organized in 1848. utiartered by tho Legislature, February 26. 1853, Na:- e changed by a legislativo enactment to the Eclectic .Ledleal Collego, of Philadelphia, in 18U0. In 1868 it purchased the Pennsylvania Medical col? lege, established in 1342, and tho Philadelphia Medi? cal College, which bad previously been merged into tho Pennsylvania Medical Itollege. In 1864 it pur? chased the Penn Medical Univi xsity. Tne Trustees of the separate schools united, petitioned and ob? tained a special Act of the Legislature, consolidating these institutions and cha. ging their names to that ol the Philadelphia University of Medicine and Sur? gery, March 16,1865. All these various Acts are pub ILhed in tho statutes of Pennsylvania. The cost of the I uildlng and museum was over one hundred thousand dollars. It will be observed that tho Uni? versity, as now organized, is the legal representative of the four Medical Colleges that ll has absorbed. It is a liberal school of medicine, confined to no dogma, nor attached to any medical cliques, but embraces in it* teaching everything of vaiue to the profession. Sessions.-It has two rall sessions each year, com? mencing on the lat of October, and continuing until the 1st ot January, as its first session, and from the 1st ol January to the 1st ol April, aa its second ; the two constituting one lull course of lectures. It has also a summer session, commencing tho 1st April aad continuing until August tor the preparatory branches, such as Latin, Greek, Mathematics, Bota? ny, Zoology, Chemistry, Anatomy, Physiology, etc. Ac foi-.-Ti ck ct* to the full course of lectures $1x0 or $60 for each session. For the summer or pre? paratory course $26. Grauclating tee $30. To aid young men ot moderate means, the University has issued five hundred scholarships, which are sold to hint-course Btudeuts lor $75. and to' secoud-course students and clergymen for $50, e&ch constituting the holder a life member, with the perpetual privi? leges of the lectures, and all the teachings of the school. The only additional ices are a j early dis? secting and matriculating ticket, each of which ls $6. The Advantages of Scholarships.-The student hold? ing a scholarship can enter the College at any time during the year, attend as long as he chooses, and re-enter the institution as frequently as desired. It requires no previous reading or study to enter tho University on scholarships, hence, all private tuition fee* are saved. Students, by holding scholarships, can prosecute other business a part of tho time. The candidate for graduation can present himself at any timo, and receive his degree as soon as quali? fied. In case a student should hold a scholarship and not be able to attend lectures, it can ba transferred to anothor, thus preventing any loes. Parents, guardians or inends of students wishing to purchase scholarship lor them a year or more bet?re their attendance at the University, can secure them by advancing one-half the price and paying the balance when the student enters. Fuyuiclau* and benevolent men can bestow great benefit upoa poor young men by presenting them a schob rship, and thus enabling them to oDt?in an honorable pro? fession. The Faculty embraces seventeen eminent physi? cians and surgeons. Thc University hos associated with it a hrge hospital clinic, whete every lorm of medical and surgical disease ls operated on and treated in the presence ot tho class. COLLEGE BUILDING.-Tho Collego building, located in Ninth-street, south of Walnut li thc finost in the eily. Its front is collegiate gothu, and is adorned with embattlcmentti and embrasures, presenting a novel, bold, and beoulilul appearance The facade ls of brown stone, ornamented by two towers, rising to ! the elevation ol eighty feet, and crowned with an embattled parapet The building contains be? tween fifty and sixty rooms, all supplied with water, gas, and every other convenience that modern im? provement can contribute to facilitate medical In? struction.
