THE NEW YORK STEAMERS.-Tho Btoamahip Monterey, of the ''Leary Line," for New York, left her berth yesterday with a foll freight and a large compliment of passengers. She had 1831 barrels potatoes, 1077 boxes vegetables, 759 boxes peaches, 1868 sacks wheat, cotton, naval stores and sundries, forming a large and valuable freight, and gives good evidence that the Southern people are multiplying their industry and working forward to a bright and prosperous future. She had^also a' large pas? senger list. Tb*e Monterey forms a line with the Saragossa.-both large carriers and supe? rior vessels-aikl Messrs. Ravenel A Co., the agents here, are affording shippers every fa? cility tc* Bend forward their freight. POLITICAL GOSSIP.-AS the period approach for (he Legislature to assemble, there is good deal of stir among the Republicans Va reference to the offices to be filled during t session. Candidatos are as thiok os blockbc .ries,'aud whatever promises most largely profit will be the subject of extensive pureba and sale. We understand that the contest for tl Speakership of the Louse will bo animai ed, not bitter. The prominent white candida therefor is Dlr. F. J. Moses, Jr., but it is sa that the colored members proposo to run 01 of their own race-probably W. J. Whipper, Beaufort. Indeed, the statement has bec openly made by some of them that "this thin of giving'all tho fat offices to the while mc was about played out, and as they bad a mi jority of Ute, votes in the Legislature they ii tended that their color should liavo a fa showing, especially in -the race for Spcakei . ship." We hear, that Hr. Moses was oraphat cally told that he might haul down his colon for the detennination was to make a bbc man the presiding officer of the body. Th disaffection bas assumed such u tiireatcniu shape as to giro a good deal of concern to th leaders; because, if the issue is broadly drawr the tv suit will come before tboy are prepare for it, and may prove disadvantageous to'th cm selves and the party.. With a very few excep {ions among white men whp would affili?t with the other side, a "break ol'this characte would divide the household, and array whit against .black-a contest in which the negri must go to the wall. Endeavors aro heinj made to conceal the disturbance, and lp hav it settled in caucus; but the colored member aro bold in the assertion of their "rights,' and, are likely to moke ? fierce stand upoi tilem. ' HReforenco has been made to tho mess j age- of Governor Orr. It is not known dod I ni te Jv whether it will, be delivered "as in ! formation" to the Legislature, or addressee ! to General" Conby as the military custodial of the State. Even if Governor Orr bot! not boen removed by thc military anthoritie; "to simplify matters," there was a di s po sition on the part of the General Assembly to ignore him altogether, lost his recognitioi aa an ont going Executive would have scemet a recognition of the "rebel rule" of Presiden! Johnson. As the matter now stands, tho vast amount of valuable statistical information con corning the condition of the State, which the Governor has prepared as an official document, : must emanate, if at all, ?rom a. private indi vidual.-'and .be addressed like any other in? formation to file Legislature, or to G?nerai Conby, as .he may - determine. There is toe much of public interest in the document for ii to "bo hidden nuder a bushel, and the commu? nity will be -.anxious to know the condition ol affairs ir, Sooth Carob'na, prior to her transfer into the untried bauds of the new regime. In our judgment, the most appropriate course to bo pursued, ia for Governor Orr to render this account of his stewardship through the pub? lic preefl "To tho People of South Carolina." .The rivalry for the United States BC na tor ship-appears ' to be confined chiefly to Dr. A. G. Mackey and Mr. F. A. Sawyer. Parson French ia ab? in the-ring, but bis chances, from all we learn, are few and far between. The irrepressible C. P. Leslie, senator from Barnwell, is in the city working like a beaver, it is believed, in the interest or Dr. Mackey. Fond of collecting personal statistics and using them in dobate, uevor mincing- word? when be bas any truth to be told, ho is as warm a partisan as bo is a bitter opponent. So that wo may expect lively discussions in the Legislature when the canvass commences ou ita Hour. - The United States marshals hip is promised to a white man. What will become of Mr. Ep? ping, the incumbent, we ' have not heard, but he will probably have something to say in the matter.' It is declared upon good authority that Tim I otb y Hnrleyhas been assigned the position of ! editor in chief of a new Republican paper which is .to be established In Colombia. The office will*, be supported by government adver? tising and the printing Of tho Legislature. It Will be a "stockholders' enterprise," and the prominent members of the party are repre? sented to be earnest in the promotion of the enterprise to the extent of a liberal contribu? tion each. - . -_ StrapECTED Foix PL A?.-Our readers may remember that about a month ago Mr. Moses J). Hyams, for many years a merchant doing bafiinosson East Ray, died suddenly while ab? sent from home. The certificate of the phy? sician, we aro informed, states that he died of old age, and no suspicions were entertained at the time by either the physician, the family or tho 'friends, that such was not tho fact. Re? cently suspicions have been aroused, whioh being reported to Coroner Whiting, he deemed them cf sufficient gravity to warrant the exhu? mation' of the body and the holding of an in? anest. The jury were empanneled yesterday and some evidence taken before them-enough to indicate that, violence had been oommitlod, which, ia ali probability, resulted in death. A number of witnesses are. yet to bo examined, andi tho Coroner will investigate the matter thoroughly. There are rumors of an affray between the .deceased and'another person, growing out of certain provisions in his will, ! but until the evidence has been taken and the decision of the jory rendered, it may not be prudent to give currency to the statements made.

HOW THEY WEES NOT DISCOVERED-ITB?lrT?ijJ STEPS IN THE BIQHT DIRECTION-DISO OUB AOEUENT AT HOME AND ENCOURAGEMENT ABROAD-THE PHOSPHATE BEDS, THEIR AP? PEARANCE AND HOW THEY ABE WORKED THETB VALUE AND PROSPECTS. _ j The valae of phosphate of lime as a fertilizer was gonerally admitted in South Carolina before thc war, and one form of super-phosphate bad won for itself an excellent r?putation. ? When, however, not more than one year agd, it was announced that tho-goologioai format ion known as the Charleston basiu contained phosphates in sufficient quantities to supply the whole continent of America with a fertilizing material, the statement was received with mingled ridi? cule and incredulity. Broad-atrent heard, but would not behove. The magnates of Guaneo shook thoir heads and spoke of professional theories and impracticable plans. Ono was too poor to risk anything, another was so wealthy that bo did not caro to add to his store, yet Professor Holmes, who had the matter in charge, was neither discouraged nor dismayed. Thero wore acute and shrewd mon in tho North. who h ad both money and tho will to use it, and tho financiers of-Philadelphia, listening with koon earnestness to the details that were, given thom, went at onco into tho scheme. Tho ne cesaary capital was readily subscribed. .There was no halting for want of funds, an/1 tho Charleston Mining and Manufacturing Company soon bc carno a groat accomplished fact. This company has now been in existence? for several months, and to meet a general des ?re, we publish a brief sketch of tho history of phosphates' in the St a to, of the places in which they are found', of the manner of working tho raw material, and of the present condition of the works of our principal phosphate company. For tho benefit of the .unprofessional. reader, we shall, an far as "possible, divest our description of technical terms, and recite thc wholo history in thff sim ple.phrase of evory-day Ufo. THE FIRST STEPS. ?? Tho region above Charleston and alon? tho course of thc Ashley River has long been a fa? vorito ha nut of the geologist. The, Chai losten basin is peculiarly rich in fossils, and, to one who explored it willi enthusiastic energy in the int crests of science, promised au abundant re? ward. Such a man was Professor J?, lu Holmes, of this city, who for more than a quarter of a century has devoted to geology the best hours of his life. With him it bas been a labor, of lovo, and he has been able in tho course of his career to give to such men as Agassiz lessons in tho geology of our State. More than twenty five years ago Professor Tuoniey, afterwards the State Geologist, visited the banks of the Ashley wi Hi Professor Holmes. Amongst other? things the attention of Mr. Toomey was called to the lumps of phosphatized earth found near the river. Upon analysis this earth waa found to . in tai n about t went y-fi ve per cc-ut. of phosphate of lime. Phis was a fair per centavo, but no regard was paid to ita i m po rt anco, and the two professors confined them solves to cracking the phosphate rock for tho discovery and exami tion of fossils. In ono place was found a tooth, io another a bone, iu a third a skull, but the phosphate earth, aa valuable' SB gold, over which'carts and wagons wore running o very lay in tho lanes of old St. Andrews', never rc ceivod a thought. After tho war Professor Hoi rp os continued Ids explorations, and in 18G7 i new analysis was made of the phosphate Mtrth by Dr. Pratt, formerly Chief of the Con "ederato Mining Bureau in the State of Geor? gia.. This analysis who wed the specimens to iontaiu.about sixty per cent, of pure phosphate it limo, a larger per ceutage than that of tho English phosphate lands, which rent at as high ta two thousand dollars in gold per acre. Pro? fessor Holmes made the necessary Burveys, dio company was formed, aud the Carolina phosphates wcro soon brought to the notico of tho public. Boforn proceeding further it will bo as well to describe tho nature and appearance of the ' PHOSPHATE BEDS. These consist of lumps of exceedingly bard material, which, whou ground, are soluble in sulphuric acid. The proportion of phosphate of lime varies from 60 to CO por cent., but until crushed aud manipulated the lumps are not available for agricultural purposes. The band of phosphatic earth is about eight miles in length and two miles in width, and is not, wo believe, in any place moro than ouo milo distant from the Ashley Rivor. The lumps are found at about twolvo-or fifteen inches ft om tho surface, but frequently crop out above the ground. Tho thickness of the layer is about fifteen ?iclios. Tho 1 nmpa or nodules are called coprolite.* or dung stones, but they aro brit coprolitic in any proper sense. It would seem, says an English writer, that very large organic accumulations had been made, and that tho animals wero chiefly of high organization. Mixed up with sand and foreign substances the lesR destructible parts of these animals became converted into earthy phosphate of limo, which in time separated itself in the bands that now exist. The wholo of tho Charleston basin was probably at ono time a hage salt water lake. The water was evaporated, or was drawn away by the opening of a river, and the place be? came a salt lick to which ail the animals of tho country resorted. It was their daily haunt, ind they doubtless dragged themselves there to dio. This would account for the 'rhona of animal deposits. THE TRA CTS. . -Tho Charleston Mining and Manufacturing Company owns in fee simple about 10,000acres of phosphate lands, aud has leased about 10,000 acres more. Thia incin?ea tho planta? tions kuown as Foto ressa, Ashley Ferry, The Oaks, and Marysville, and the Goodrich tract of fivo plantations. It was apon the first of these that work was lira t begun iu earnest, and itt that point we may commence our roviow of the operations of the company. Fe teressa is au old settlement, and was for? merly the property of Dr. Ban-on. It was valuable in ita time as a plant ation, but none of its possessors dreamed of tho wealth hid? den below the surface. The work of phosphate digging at tho place wait very simple. A row of white mon or negroes, with picks, turned up thc g rou ud, aud, us tho lumps of phosphate wero exposed, picked them ont and threw them iu a heap bufare thom. The lumps oro generally from two to fivo or six inches in diameter, but there are thousands of smaller pieces which, at-present, aro not worth hand? ling. Upon thia plantation more than a hun? dred hands wem at oue lime employed, and from one acre of ground there were fakou out Bix hundred aud twenty tons of phosphatic carib. No hands are for tho moment ut work upon tliis . tract, all having been trans? ferred to Marysville, which may be called the HEADQUARTERS OF THE COMPANY. This plantation, formerly the property of Colonel Lamb, is a scene of constant lifo and activity. A small part of the tract has already been turned up, and iu covered with weeds, while one hundred laborers are employed in trenching and digging the remainder. Tho hands work abreast of each other, a temporary traiuway running in their front. Upon thia train way aro small cara, into which the phos? phate lumps aro thrown. These cars arc then pushed to tho maiu railroad wbich traverses the plantation, und tho contents are dumped into thc regalar phosphate train. Once in the cara, tho lumps aro ou their way to cleanliness aud uso. When the car reaches thc foot ol au -?^?S^ THE ASHLEY PI * incline J plane near the river, it is hooked on to a rope and is run with the rapidity of an ex pxess train to the platform below,which the 'STSSa^a^?ite are mn by a forty orae power Bt?tionBrfilsjMne, which wo;ks oise leasiy below'IbSfcr^?ijgic?, invebtwl. fox washing ores, and seem acHrh^^^?pied to their present purpose. Each ma4&un1^$?Qj|a of a large trough, in. which revolve, :paf with each other, two spindles armed with blades or flanges. When a loaded car reaches the platform a spring ia touched, and Uio_ con tenta fall into thc trough. The action of the revolving blades scatters the lumps, and,' at the same timo, 'propels them towards thc lower end of .the trough. Water from tho river is pumped steadily in while the churning is going on, and When the lumps escape at t he bottom tb cy are cleansed . from all oxternal impurities aud are ready for shipment. : i The washing machines are ona Muff on tho river, and the cleansed lumps that come from them fall within a stone's throw of the vessel which is to receive them. Ships of considera ble tonnage can be brought alongside, and the 'work of shipment is quickly arid easily accom? plished, vio other m?bipu???ioq. than the -washing is done hy the -company, as they hare a large contract for tho washed earth to ?11 but it is presumed that at a later day the phos? phates will be made soluble and sold by the company themselves. ... j A M OL NT OF WOBK. The washing- machines' can -tain oat two hundred tons s day when in full work, bnt at present are not working at more than balithat rate. Most of the laborers now employed are negroes, and they do not work nearly as well as the white laborers, who would-dig, on an average, one ton per day. White mon cannot work on the beds iii the summer months, so that the company reserves its principal labor until after frost. The negroes generally are well behaved, bnt when paid off on last Tues day, amused themselves by brutally-beating one of their number. . ..t 1 VALUE OF TUT. .BEDS. . , j . Near Cambridge, England, there is a tract of phosphate land, which rents for about four bondred -pounds, or two thousand dollars per , acre.. The proportion of Urne is about the some os in the South Carolina beds, but' the lampa ore much more difficult of ace caa. The phos? phates are fourteen to fl [tern feet below the" surfaco, and the deposits are so uncertain that whole districts of conn try may sometimes "bo bored before they aro found. Tho deposits are not .continuous, and in many places ara only small patches. The yield is from two hundred and fifty to three hundred and flfty tons' por acre, and the deposit about nine inches thick. The Ashley beda, on the contrary, are with? in twelve or eighteen inches of the surface.-the deposits are certain and continuous, tho de-. posit is more than one foot in thickness, and the yield is more than six hundred tons per j This comparison shows tue. superior value of -1 'the Ashley River beds, especially aa tho land did not cost upon an'average more than ten dollars per acre. At present the washed earth is estimated to be worth' about ten dollars per ton, and at this low rate oach acre would yield] in gross six thousand dollars, the land being left as rich for agricultural pur poa ea :as it was when first entered by the pick of the phosphate hunter. ORGANIZATION. The whole operations of tho-conipany seem to bo well organized, and their work goes on with a smoothness that Bpeaks well for the ex ocnlire ability of Colonel Joseph A. Yates, the engineer in charge of the works. . Tho. busi? ness of the company is evidently conducted With energy and Judgment;, the popera! -ad? ministration is safe ia the experienced bauds of the officers, who are as tb'" ">ws : President, Professor F. S. Holmes; secretary, A. H. Locke; solicitors, Press! c y, Lord As Iuglesby; agent in Philadelphia, Samuel Grant, Jr. " In conclusion, it may bo asid that thq pros? pects-of the Charleston Mining aud Manufac tu ri nc; Company aro- highly -favorable. Their lands are well located and rich ia deposits, the value of the phosphates is steadily increasing, and they evidently have before thom a bright and prosper?os} future. South Carolina may yet givo from her bosom a new wealth to com? pensate for that which her sons have lost, and in ilie organization of companies fordevelop ipv the phosphate riches of our. State we . see tho means of adding to the fecundity of our soil as well as of advancing the trade and. im? portance of the city. 7 The beds of the Charleston Mining Company aro not, by any means, the only ones that are known. Since the groat discovery was made, lands have been explored iu every diroction, and at loast threo companies; aro now in operation.. Others are talked of, and the whole business is still in its infancy. A DENSE VOLUME or suons broke out yester? day afternoon from the ruins of the late fire opposite the Charleston Hotel. 'The fallen walls have evideutly covered a large quantity of combustible material, chemicals Ac, which have been smouldering sinco the fire. The re? cent clearing of the sidewalk opened fresh air holes, and gave the flames new life. Tbongh tho smoke was very deuse and obscured a large portion of Meeting-street, tho fire was not considered dangerous.

TUE GEORGIA RAILROADS.-A report which was quite generally published in the papors of Georgia in reference to a anion of tho Mnsco gco Railroad, from Macon to Columbus, with the Savannah Central Railroad, aud also with the Montgomery Railroad, appeals by the fol? lowing, which we cut from Ibo Macon Tele? graph, of tim 30th Juno, to bo without founda? tion so far os the M ti s cogo o Railroad is con? cerned. It had tho appearance of a brilliant stroke on the part of Mr. Wadley, of the Cen? tral Railroad, but it would scorn from what fol? lows to have come to naught: There has been a great deal said, of late about the merging or the Central aud Musco gee Railroads. It was confidently stated thal the Central Road has proposed to lease the Muacogee Road for ninety-nine years, and that, in a short while, the Muscogeo Road would be nothing more or less than a portion of tho western end of the Georgia Central Road. Under this favorable showing of the Muscogce Rood its stock went np like a rocket, and it was generally believed that tho merging of the road with the Central would soon place its stock on a par with any in tho State. If tho much talked of consolidation of the two roads was really soon to take place, tho Muscogeo stock would have commanded the same price in tho market as that of the Central Road; but will the reader behove it, when we assure him that the Central Railroad Company has made no proposition to lease the Muscogee Road for ninety-nine years orpany other length of time. Neither has the Muscogee company made such a proposition to the Central Road. There has been no negotiations pending be? tween tho two roads, and all that we have heard to the contrary notwithstanding was baldfaced hum bug gory.

Gonl. m THE COTTON CBOP.-We lay before our read? ers, says tho Savannah Republican, tho follow? ing interesting extract from a letter from an intelligent planter in Southwestern Georgia : You merchin td all go npon the general stim? ulation of price, and say as much will be made as last year. This shows great want of reflec? tion, and ignorance of the actual condition of things m tho country. It presupposes every planter backed by an unlimited supply of the means and material necessary to moko cotton, ?tc. Tho "planter may want ever so much to make cotton, but m the first placo be thinly or cotton last year, and riftnernbors how ho wgp caught, ?nd a sad experience warm? hinrKrw cautious. .In ibo next place, pm dbi,; orjtft. be knowB ho bau nob and cannot get the need? ful for tin's "excess of cotton to be pat Lu." Now to know something-take my own case-bad I been ever BO much disposed, I could not after the first of February have plant? ed ono Bingle acre more than originally intend? ed in cotton, and why? Bccauso ute labor could not be liad. * William Bryce & Co. say "as large a crop will be made as last year.' The i amorous cor? respondents, for whose opinions they nave the greatest respect,say "No." So the only testi? mony worth one cent is disregarded. Tuero is a vast quantity leas in cotton iu Southwestern Georgia this year than last. There is lees stock and far lesa labor to cultivate it, and that labor not nearly so efficient as it was tho past year. I have observed a gr??t deal this season, and moat tell you that the poople aro paying more attention to corn and hogs-are planting much less cotton; that as a general tiling tho crops do uot look well, j the cotton partie a la ri y having been injured by the excessive rains; not the cate w'th mo, as I planted lat?. The ?ame ie the cai. all over the country. 1 know, no1 matter what impressions-may be made to the contrary, that a large'crop cannot be made this year, and if prico is; to' depend upon the size of j our crop, then it will bo good."
