VOLUME VT.-NUMBER 940.] CHARLESTON, S. C., THURSDAY MORMNG, SEPTEMBER '?t 1868. EIGHTEEN CENTS A WEEK BY TELEGRAPH EUROPE. THE ALABAMA CLAIMS-ALLEGED BASIS OF SET? TLEMENT-COMMENTS OF THE LONDON TOTES. LONDON, November 10.-There is the hiebest reason to believe that the statement relative to the Convention for the settlement of the Ala? bama claims in the Times of this morning is incorrect. The fourth articleof thc Conven? tion to which the Times parf?culaily refers is as follows: ' The commissioners shall have power to ad? judicate upon the class of claims referred to in the official correspondence between the two governments as the Alabama claims; but before any sr.ch claims are taken into consideration by thom, the two high contracting parties shall fix upon some sovereign or head of a friendly . State as an arbitrator iii respect of such claims, to whom such class of claims shall be referred in case the commissioners shall be nuable to come to a unanimous decision upon the same." This opens every question involved in those claims, whether that of the right of the Eng? lish government to acknowledge the South as a belligerent, or any other. The Times speaks of distinguished publicists whose judgment will aid the King of Prussia. These are, doubtless, Gessnierand Hoffe ter, both leading writers a international law, and engaged in tho Bo rh . administration (the former in the foreign office), who have, since the war, advocated American views on the pending questions. They concurred, ut the time, in pronouncing the seizure of Muson and SlideL justifiable, and denounce the selfishness of the British princi? ples of neutrality.; DISSOLUTION OF THE Bill TISH PAULI A1IENT. LONDON, November ll.-The Queen's pro? clamation dissolving Parliament was promul? gated to-day.

AMERICAN SHIP WRECKED. JREEMEN, November ll.-Captain Perry and the remainder of the crew of the American ship James F. Patten, ashore near the mouth of the "Weser, were taken from the wreck by the life? boat and landed in safety. Tho vessel will probably be a total lo:s. SPAIN. MADRID, November ll.-The party in favor of a republic are gaining ground. General Pierrad bas united with Don Escalante to rush forward the causo of a republic. Dem? ocrats express some dissatisfaction at this co? alition. RUSSIA. ST.

ANOTHER RULES DETHRONED. LONDON, November H.-The political news to-day is unimportant. Advices have been re? ceived here announcing that the Queen of Muscat has been dethroned without a strug? gle. Tho Chief of Wahabees succeeds to the sovereignty. FREEDOM OF PUBLIC DISCUSSION IN SPAIN AUSTRIA ARMING. MADRID, November 18.-The government for? bids the presence of armed saldiere at political meetings. The Papal Nuncio at Madrid continues his relations with the now government.

PENSES. WASHINGTON, November 13.-General Grant has gone U> West Point, and on his return will remain one week in New York. Schofield and Seward were absent from Cabi? net to-day. The customs from the 2d to the 7th inclu? sive are $2.487,000. Recent investigations have entirely excul? pated Jacob Thompson from complicity in the Indian trust fund defalcation of 1860. Perry Fuller, the Collector of thc Port of New Orleans, is here. The President, Mcculloch and E7arts had a long consultation after the Cabinet meeting, Treasurer Spinner's report ie published. Tho expenditures have baen increased, as compar? ed with those of last year, and are as follows The interior, $2,000,000; Civil Department, $2 500,000; War Department, $29,750.000, including however, $38,000,000 for bounties. The amount of interest paid on the public debt in coin is $100,750,000; in currency, $35.000,000. i Alabama Totem tor Grant. I ? MONTGOMERY, November 13.-A point has '] been raised if the Acts of the Leg isla ture are legal, as the law requires an election for a new Legislature on the third of November. A test |1 case will soon be made up. The State is now conceded to Grant by 2500*f majority, in many of the counties voting from 1500 to 2000, not more than five or six hundred voted. They either had no opportunity of re? gistering, or declined to take the voter's test oath. The Democrats did not poll their strength by 20,000, and in Marion County no election was held. Mexican Newa. HAVANA, November 12.-Mexican advices state that the Congress is about trying seve? ral important personages, and among them General Mejia, Secretary of War, for unau? thorized expenditures. Romero, the late Min? ister to Washington, is also charged with acts contrary to law. Escobedo is operating active? ly against Tamaulipas. Condensed News by Telegraph.

Ex-Govern?r David Tod died suddenly yes? terday at Youngstown, Ohio. Lersundi proclaims the ports of the Eastern Department of Cuba, where no customhouses exist, closed for exports or imports. The deputy collector of the internal revenue seized at Newbern, N. C., yesterday, about one hundred barrels of liquor from parties at that place, who have failed to respond. The 8herman house at Syracuse, New York, and a number of adjacent buildings, have been burned; loss $180,000, Vnv Orleans. NEW OBLEANS, November 13.-Thomas E Adams, ex-chief of the New Orleans police, died to-day. A claim has been presented against the city for $270,000 damages caused by the recent riots. General Harry T. Hays denies having any connection with a Cuban expedition, and de? precates all filibustering movements. The Gubernatorial Imbroglio in Florida TALLAHASSEE, November 13.-The case of Governor Reed against Lieutenant-Govomor Gleason and Secretary Olden, for conspiring against the Stats Government, was called at 10 A. M. to-day. Judge Cocke decided that the affidavit was insufficient, and the proceed? ings were quashod on technical grounds. The merits of the case were not brought out, and Gleason and Olden released from arrest. There are no indications of farther movements of public interest bofore thc meeting of the Su? preme Court, on the Iden, wheivthe opinion of the legality of tho impeachment will bs ren? dered. TUE STATE DEMOCRACY. Address to tho Democratic Party of South Carolina. Fe'low-Citizens-Tho State Central Club deem it proper to make the close of the late canvase the occasion of a brief address : First, we desire most heartily to congratu? late the party upon the general result of tho canvass in this St .tc. The South Carolina De? mocracy has proved itself an eminently pro? gressive and growing party. Organized in April hst. in spite or the neaw numerical odds against lt, it has steadily advanc? ed, and in every election augmented its power until in tho canvass just closed, it fell only a little short of carrying the State for its nation? al nominees. A Democratic cain of more than 30,000 over tbfcvote given in tho State oloction of April last, means victory in the future and not ta?TTP. Nor should we fail to credit the National Democracy with its achievement in the late canvass, or be unmindful o' tho vast power it has developed even in defeat. The twenty-five Northern and Western States that entered into the Presidential canvass in 1864 gave to McClellan a popular vote of 1,811,754, and to Lincoln 2,223.035. The same States, it is estimated, have, in 1868, given to Soymour a popular vote of 2,235,920, and to Grant 2,517, 100. Thus showing, first, an increase in thc Democratic vote of 718 131, and secondly, that IQ a popular vote of 4 752,920, Grant has a ma? jority over Seymour of bat 281,080, and this exclusive of the votes in the late Confederate States. Including the States voting in 1868 and not in 1864, and the States excluded from voting ia 1868, and including, also, citizens disfranchised by Congressional and State legis? lation in Missouri and the late Confederate States, the result is that Seymour received a majority of several hundred thousands on the popular vote. In tho second place, we desire to impress upon the Democratic party in this Slate the importance of preserving, in all its efiiciency, its present admirable organization, to the end that, under the laws of thc State and the United States, and in full recognition of tho just obligations of good citizenship, tho party may gradually increase its number j and influ? ence until its principles and policy shall com? mend themselves to tho free and ?nbiased ap? proval of a controlling majority of the voters of tho Commonwealth. Thirdly. Tho more effectually to keep up tho Democratic clubs ol the several districts, and in order further tu recognize fully all tho in? dustrial elements that arc essential to thc pros? perity of tho Stat ', we oarnestly rocimmond that features looking to the subjects of immi? gration, agriculture, manufactures o nd educa? tion be engrafted upon each clu'>, so that an organized and systematic effort may be at once made to add to our population, to promote tho industries of the State, and to advance thc cause of popular intelligence. And in order to carry out these auxiliary features to be at? tached to the Democratic clubs throughout tho State, and to devise a uniform plan of action, we respectfully recommend a meet? ing of tho State Contral Club at this place, on the 20th of January, 1869, at 7 P. M. Fellow-citizens, wo address you in the spirit of hopo and faith. God in Bis providence has seen fit to deny to us the triumph which we deemed essential to thc welfare of the State. If we cannot win, let us seek to de? serve success. To the manhood of the Sta'e do we appeal. Let the Democratic party of South Carolina remain a power and au influ? ence in the State. Keep your ranks undivided. Adhere to your political principles uutil better ones invite you to their adoption. From failure gather wisdom; out of defeat get patience and resolution. Preserving your fidelity to tho eclectic principles of your party, go bravely and earnestly to work in thc field of material doveiopm:nt. Thus building up thc State upou the basis of labor, and surrounding our politi? cal creeds with tho solid muniments of wealth, intelligence and virtue, wo will redeem out? broken fortunes, beal our bleeding wounds, and, ere long, secure tho peaceful triumph of those wise and virtuous elements essential to the dignity of the State and the prosperity of the people. By order of tho Central Club of thc Demo? cratic jjartv of South Carolina. WADE HAMPTON, Presideut. J. G. GIBBES, Secretary. THE MUXICWAL ELECTIONS. The following additional returns have been received : BPamEBygiLL. At thc Municipal election in the Tow.i of 3umnuiville, the following wcro declared duly ?lected: Intendant-Hon. II. J. Limehousc. Wardens- W. H. Schroder, Rev. J. K. Saspor ;as (colored), P. K. Coburn, Samuel Kingman. CAMDEN. The whole Democratic ticket was elected, as f)llow8 : Intendant- Dr. A. A. Moore. War lens-D. McDonald, J. It. Goodalc, H. C. Sal. mond, Wm. Daasch. The citizens were much gratified at the result, as it was believed that Republicans would have made the town go rem? uent a paying concern for themselves. Taxes, ilready high, would doubtless have been raised, mt the evil has been averted. LA?RENSVTLLE. Our Laurensville correspondent writes under late of the 11th instant: "The Municipal elec ;ion passed o ff yesterday, all quiet, resulting as olio wo: For Intendant-J. Ward Motte. War lens-Dr. J. G. Traynham, A. W. Kruse, Jolonel B. W. Ball, Captain R. F. Richardson.'' GREENVILLE. Our Greenville correspondent writes under late of November ll : "The election for Mu? nicipal officers of this town held on yesterday ?esulted as follows: Intendant-Dr. W. R. Tones. Wardens-Dr. S. S. Marshall, Dr. A. 0. Hoke, Dr. J. H. Dean, T. C. Gower, O. A. Pickle, N. Wnitmire. This was the ticket ?ominated by the colored firemen. There were deo two other tickets brought forward ; but is all of tho candidates were good Democrats, md prominent and influent ial citizens there lult turned on personal popularity. The clec ion was very close, only about five votes dif- ? 'erence, anti many citizens dui not vote at all. )ut of a voting population of over six hun- , Ired only three hundred and eighty registered, , nd only two hundred and seventy votes were , tolled. Those who did not register and those rho registered, but did not vote, were exclu- , ively whites." ABBEVILLE. In Abbeville the following gentlemen were \ lected: lutendant-Wm. Henry I'arker, Esq. /Ouucilmon-J. F. C. DuPre, Matthew Mc- 1 )onald, Jacques Kurtz, Thomas C. Sea!. A . ew scattering votes wore polled. * ANDERSON. Io Anderson the following gentlemen were lected. This ticket was nominated by a meet- , ug of the Democrats, and was not opposed to ' .ny considerable extent. Only a lew Republi- ; ans registered, aud none of them voted: In- j endant-John B. Mooro. Wardens-W. W. ' lumpbreys, W. II. Nardin, James A. Hoyt and ! \ C. V. Borstell. j EDOEFTELD. j The Edgefield Advertiser eavs : " To-day, i tuesday 10th, we should have had an election 1 or Intendant and Wardens of oui- town. lu t every other town in the State, a municipal election ia now in all pnbability going on. But owing lo the fact that Edgefield District ia without a Board of Commissioners of Election, no Municipal election has been ordered bore. Consequently Edgefield is totally without Mu? nicipal government. Under these circumstanc? es, it is the unanimous desire of our citizens and wisoly so, beyond a doubt;-that the com? pany of Federal soldiers, stationed here for a month past, should still remain here. Compa? ny K, of the Eighth United States Infantry, under command of Captain Remington, has been wise aud efScie.it in Edgefield, and its officers and men are trusted and respected by our people." WHAT NEXT? Wendell Phillips Heads a Warning Leetuvc to General Grant. Wendell Phillips (,:theman that supplies the KcpubUcan party with brains") thus, in his Anti-Slavery Standard of this week, notifies General Grant what he must and must not do in order to "carry on the government :" Abolitionists and all earnest Radicals arc now summoned to address themselves to the work which is yet to bo accomplished. It has become very apparent, through what bas tran spir ;d in Gcoigia and clscwhoie, that the Re? construction laws requiro careful revisiou and perfecting in sundry particulars. The negroes and loyal whites of the South greatly need the means of self-defence. Tho question of con? fiscation, especially w tb reference to tho lar.o amount of land fraudulently cons'eyed from the possession of the United States Govern? ment to the hands of rebels, should be at once considered, iu thc interest of thc landless blacks, to whom, by virtue of their past un? requited toil, the soil rightfully belongs. A system of national oclucalion which shad bc comprehensive, and at least coextensive with the extension of tho ballot, should early be in? augurated by Congress. The measure of primary importance now to bo promptly initiated and adopted on the re? assembling'of Congress is an additional amend? ment to tho constitution forbidding disfran? chisement or proscription from official trust on acccunt of raco or color in any State or Terri? tory of tho Union. Sue 1 an amendment, it adopted promptly by Congress, and submitted to tho Legislatures of the sovcral States, would, without doubt, now bo ratified by thc requisito number. It is urgently demanded to guarantee the billot to Southern colored men, and to enfranchise many thousands tn the Border and Northern States. This measure should not bo postponed for tho consideration of tho Forty-first Congress, but should bo promptly acted upon and adopted by the Fortieth. "Lot us have peaco" bas been many limes reiterated during the campaign just closed. One danger before us is tho assumption that tho fact of Grant's election in itsolt will insure "peaco at the South. Abolitionists and those who have studied attentively Southern society know better than this. While Southern Legis? latures are permitted to perpolrate such high? handed outrages as the lawless expulsion of colored members, as in Georgia, without due punishment; if reboU are permitted to take seats in the Houne of Representatives who como J rom districts wherein colored and white Re? publicans wero practically excluded from tho ..oils, "pasco" cannot bo realized. The negro is still the bone of contention, and until his manhood and political equality is everyw ?ero recognized ho will continue to bc n disturbing element in our politics. Smarting under their political discomfiture, the Ku-Elux will still bold sway, especially it their troasonablo chief is permitted to remain in tho Whito House till tho 4th of March next. With tho triumphant rc-olection of General Butler, and tho well-known desire of most ol tho Southern lnombcrs for tho revival of thc measure, we havo slrong hopes of thc success? ful consummation of the impeachment aud de? position of Johnson by tho beginning of tho new year. With Wade oven two months in thc Whito Hon-*o, and such tools of treason as iiousseau. Steadman ond Company, of Mow Orleans, re? placed by Sheridan and other trustworthy, loyal men; with the reconstruction laws prop? erly revised and amonded; with suffrage aud the right to bold office vouchsafed lo tho negro every wboro, tho nation may bc well on tho way towirda "peace," having "secured its essential conditions, boforo Grant is inaugurated. While deliberate and organized injustice to thc negro is perpetuated, the "irrepressible conflict" will continue, no matter who may be President. "Let us havo piaco," then, by promptly doing .bose tilings which make tor pence. Tho new era which opens boforo us, with thc significant defeat ot tho slaveholders and their apo'ogists 01 Titeada -, is full of interest to Abolitionists and conscientious Ra Heals, to whom tho national conflict means something moro than a more partisan strife, to ond with election day. Our many triumphs of the past have boen won under circumstances of adverse opposition much more fjrinidablo than any? thing wo are likeiy to have to ouco;inler in the near future. Opposition wo are undoubtedly to have, but now, as hitherto, logic and right are on our '-.Je. We have hut to press urgent? ly aud perseveringly our demand, and our past successes aro a guarantee of ultimate, complote triumph. Tho Time-', tho Post, tho (Jerald, and the "Conservatives" for whom they speak, already exultant at what they deem tho eclipse of Radicalism, reckon without their Host in supposing it to be within the power of Gonoral Grant, if, as they allego, it be bis disposition to materially ob.-itrur-t the progress of Radical rclormation in national politics. If the Repub? lican party consents to be tho instrument ot' that beneficent reformation, all will bc well with both (he party and tho country. If it re? fuses it will only be worse for the party. Thcro is no halfway house for permanent lodgment botwecn .?lavery and ';cuuiue Repub'icanism. The only truly formidable opponents tin; Abo? litionists ever had were tho bram champions ol'tho slavo system while tlioir power waa Go extensive willi the nation aud their loa lership acknowledged North and Sooth. Their day is over. Tue earnest Radicals oro thc positivo force in thc new order of things. Tb? tenden? cy of thia ce.itury is to uuivorsal Radical Re? publicanism. Good Feeling and Good Sense. A gratifying proof of returning reason, as a i esult of tho lie publican triumph, is reported by our Charleston correapondent. The Gov? ernor of South Carolina, it appears, has been waited upon by Wade Hampton and other pro? minent Democrats) of the State, who aunounco their acceptance of the situation and their pur? pose hereafter to confine opposition within peaceable and lawful limits. They recognize the cloction of Grant as a verdict of thc nation in support of reconstruction; and under thia impression they proposo to snataiu the new government, to uphold its acta, aud to rely upon tho ballot-box for effecting whatever changea they deem desirable in tho local gov? ernment. Fortified with thia evidence of grow? ing harmony, Governor Scott is coming to New York to seek aid tor an enterprise essen? tial to the success of tho railway system of the State, and in other respects to invite tho co? operation of Northern capital for the develop? ment of its resources. This is the beginning of the peaco which all now hope for. The step taken hy the South Carolina Democrats is eminently prudent, and cannot be too soon imitated by the same class in other States. Foiled in their efforts to overturn reconstruction, the best thing possi? ble is to accept it, and to mako thc best ot it under the law. If it require amendment, tho people of each State have thc power of adapt? ing it to their wishes; and Ibis sbonld bc anough. Tho formal declaration that it is now regarded ns enough for South Carolina will doubtless exercise a wtdc influence throughout the South, and we may expect to witness an extension of thc movement thus happily hogiin. There is nothing to hinder it but passion and prejudice, and these must gradually yield to a sense of the folly of opposing tuc national will. Already, therefore, the beneficial influeuco of Gram'? election makes itscit manifest. When it shall bo fully and fraukly acknowl? edged, as io South Carolina, thc South may confidently seek hom the North the material succor which will hasten the return of pros? perity.- Ntto York Times. -Recent advices from Japan state that tho r.vcoon bas resigned all authority to the Mika? do, and all tho adherents or officers under the rycoon bad been dispersed. 1 bo foreign lega ;ioti8 aro now located at Yokohama, tho British md French ministers having armed forces of :heir own troops quartered near them, while ;ho American minister has only an ordinary Dorter.

THE CH.LRLESTOX PHOSPHATES. Interesting Sketch of thc Discovery and Development of thc Native Bone Phosphates of South' Carolina. Dr. N. A. Pratt, the energetic practical chem? ist who has aided so materially in the develop? ment of the Ashley phosphate beds, contrib? utes tho following article to tho la8t number ot' the Southern Cultivator : At the continued solicitations of many friends in my native State (Coorpia) and elsewhere, I have"thc pleasure of contributing to the col? umns of your journal a concise statement of the discovery and economic development of the phosphatic deposits of Ashley River, or, as I aili them, tho ''Native Phosphates of South Carolina," together with a discussion of their chemical, physical and geological history. Theee remarkable and really wonderful de? posits of wealth and fertility to the State arc now, for tho first tima discovered on the coutincnt of America. A full scientific discus? sion of this remarkable discovery would, per? haps, be foreign and ill-placed anioug the prac - tic.il and eminently utilitarian contributions of your moro valued correspondents; I shall, theretoic, elim'nate all that appears theoretical, and give only facts, which no doubt will bc ol most interest to your readers. Tho- calcareous beds of South Carolina are justly considered the most remarkable, ' per? haps* in the world, and very carly attracted at? tention; and in tho time ot the late venerable Edmund Riiffin, Esq , were extensively explor? ed and analyzed. Many subsequent explorers -among whom stand, pre-eminent, Professor M. Tourney. State Geologist of South Carolina, and Professor F. S. Holmes, of tho Charleston College-havo so systematically explored and studied thssc beds that, previous to tho year 1850, they wore as we 1 and widely known, geo? logically and pa'ffimthologicallv, as any other equally extensive iii the world. Bul by con? tracted, ill-judged and false notions of economy on tho pait of our Southern Legislatures, and pervading all of our State '"Geological Surveys," the chemical department of such surveys novcr receive the attention it merits, and is generally entirely overlooked or considered a matter of altogether secondary consideration, and of no importance whereas, it should constitute tho head and front of all agricultural or geological survoys, which should always be eminently practical in their character. The calcareous mails of South Carolina have boon closely etudied, classified and analyzed, and their value as marls, containing a small porceutago of phosphate of lime, has been known for twenty years; but theresa another bel, not of marl, but adjacent to thesa, equally well known and described, the composition ot wh eli has, until lately, been unknown and misunderstood. Reference to tho Geology of South Carolina, by Professor M. Tuomey, published in 1848, will show all that was known of them up to the year 18G7, viz: 1st. That tho calcareous beds of this section had been carefully studied, classified and ana? lyzed, and vere known to contain from 50 to 85 per cent, of carbonate of lime, and from 2 to 9.20 per cent, of phosphate of limo. 2d. Thit tho "marlstoncs," "Nodulos," or "conglomerates," (constituting a bcd which overlincs tho Newer Eocene marls), bedded in thc clay, were universally considered as silici fied, "having lost all or most of their limo, ' which rarely exceeded six per cent.-(Tou? rney's Geology of South Carolina, p. 165.) 8a. That the fossil bones, marino an l terres? trial, were also considered "petrified" or ' silici flod.1' Soc also magnificent work on tho "Post Pletoeene Fossils of South Carolina," by Pro lessor P. S. Holmes (1859), Introduction, p. II. These are the published records, but Pro? fessor Hohnes has informed mo that Profes? sor Tourney made a crudo analysis ot these "Nodules" some years ugo, and ho thinks tho estimate was littccn to sixteen per cent, of phosphate of limo, but not enough to counter? balance tho carbonato of limo, iron and sand which they alsocoutaiuod, and it was consider? ed unavailaole for ngricultur.il purposes. DECENT HISTORY. During the lalo war, while ia charge of tho chemical departmont ol' the C. S. Nitro and Mining Bureau, and engaged in inspecting the saltpetre bods of Uuarlestou and Ashley Uiver, which wore constructed under tho chargo of my friend, Prof. P. 6?. Holmes, my attcutiou was repeatedly directed by him to tho remark? able accumulation of fossil bono in a bcd long since described and known as tho "Fish lied of the Charlosto.i Basin," and also to tho exist? ence of from two tonino por cent, of phosphato of limo in tho heavy marls below, as indicated by tho analysis ol L'rof. C. U. Sliepard,publisli cd in the Geology of South Carolina iu 1848. Knowing that the mails of Georgia were com parativelv poor in that ingredient-so furas examined by me, rarely excooding (3) three per cent.-tho contrast was to ? striking to escape notice; and 1 took various samplos to Augusta, Ga., for examination, but more urgent matters at that time prevented thc analysis, and tho fact was almosL forgotten. It is well known to my friends in Georgia, and to some in this State, that during the war I determined to es? tablish chomical works in the South, and at its close settled in Cuarleston rather than else? where, with a new of working up thc native resources of tho Sute, throngs the supposed advantages which this citar afforded ; and that as carly as thc year 18GG, I attempted to estab? lish a company for thc manufacture of acids and fertilizers,"but without success. In 18G7, the attempt was renewod with better hopes of success, and while, from May to August ol' that year, ?-electing a suitable location for such Works, and as chemist to the "North Carolina Geological Survey," searched in both the Caro? linas for native homo material which might bo turned to profit in thu manufacture of acids and fcrtiliz-rs I was fortunate enough to dis? cover that a bcd out-cropping within ten miles of Charleston, contained as large a percentage of phosphate of lime as any of tho l-bospliatio guanos imported ironi thc tropical islands, and used in this country md abroad, for thc manufacturo of fertilizers. This bed has been long known in the history of the Geology of South Carolina as tho "Fish Bed of the Charleston Basin," on account of tho abundant remains of the marine animals found in it- Profcssoi Holmes, of tho Collego ot Charleston, having iu his cabinet not less than 60,000 specimens of shark's teeth alone, some of them of enormous size, weighing from two to two and a half pounds each T Tho bed out-crops on the banks of tho Ashley, Cooper, Stouo, Edisto, Ashepoo and Combahee Rivers, but ia developed most heavily and richly on tho former, and has boen found as far inland as forty or fifty milos. Near tho Ashley River, it paves tho public high way for miles-it seriously impedes and obstructs the cultivation of the lands, afford? ing scarcely soil enough to "bill up tho cotton rows," and tho "phosphates" have been for years past thrown into piles on the lawns, or into causeways over ravines, to get them out of tho reach ol' tho plows; it underlies many equaro miles of surface continuously, at ? depth ranging from six inches to twelve or more feet, and exists in such quantities that in some localities from five hundred toa thousand tons or more underlie each acre. In fact, it seems that there are no rocks in this section which are not phosphates ! HOW THE DISCOVEBY WAS MADE. While engaged, as above mentioned, from May to August, 18 J7, in locating my proposed works, and searching for material suitable for my purposes, on or about the 1st ot August, while examining samples of foreign guano, in the laboratory of Dr. St. Julian Uavenel (who was then eugaged in preparations for the man? ufacturo ol fertilizers, aud expected to import or purchase lus materials from abroad), I waa shown by him a rock, which ho said was from Goose Creek, S. C , ?md contained, according to his estimate?, from toa to fifteen per cent, of phosphate of lime. Knowing from Tourney's Geology of South Carolina, and Professor shepard's Analysis, published in tho year 1848, that nine per cent, was not unusual in the marls of Ashley Uiver, I was not surprised, aud ul nm suggestion, Hi at "?ia I waa interest? ed in such matters, I had better analyz; it." I did so. Two days afterward tho result was known, as follows, and immediately communi? cated to Dr. Ravenel, who was then in my lab? oratory, with the remark, "that it was well worth looking after :" Pnosphate of lime, 31.401 sand and insoluble matter, 29.92. The same day, August 3 (as taken from my Laboratory Record), recalling to mind thc "Fish Bcd" of tho Ashley River, and thc "no? dules" or "conglomerates" buried there, I ap? plied to my friend, Protossor F. S. Holmes (who, among all my acquaintance, was best in? formed as to the geology ol tins section of the country) for samples of these or similar rocks, a d finding in his cabinet a qua .tity taken twelve years before from his own plantation on Ashley River, was pleased to discover, on Au gust 10,1867: No. 1-Phosphite of lime, 55 92 per cent.; No. 2-Pnosphate of lime, 55.52 per cent. Subsequent analysis, made in the next f aw days, of rocks, collected from the bed by my? self, showed averages varying from 57 to 67 per cent., which could be relied on from a large extent of country-thus having found these "phosphates" to be identical with the "marl stones" "nodules" or "conglomerates" of tho "Pish Bcd of the Charleston Basin," all the physical characters of which had beon known and described twenty (20) years ago; and the nodules, of which I was informed by Professor Holmes, was known to contain 15 to 16 per cent, of phosphate of lim 3. Availing myself of Pro? fessor Holmes' extended information regard? ing thc outlines of the bed, which he had many years ago mapped out, I pushed forward ray examinations and explorations with flattering results, and in a few weeks extended tho limits of the bcd far boyond its previously known boundaries. Thus this valuable material was discolored and located, and combining my own knowledge of its chemical and economic value, and of the extended limits of the sime, with the exact and valuable geological information of Prof. Holmes (to whom 1 would accord tho high o it praise and my hearty thanks), we endeavored in vai i, for sixwoo'.s, to induce Southern capi? talists to interest themselves, and to take hold with us iu developing the new ?esou co. One among tho many approached by us took a lively interest in our" success. Mr. James F. Welsman, prominent always in every enter? prise promising to deyelope our native resour? ces, with unexampled confidence and liberality, contributed the means wnich enabled us to lay our plans betoro a fow enterprising and public spirited Philadelphians, who, immediately grasping and fully comprehending the immense interest thus opened up, furnished thc means to carry thc eatorpriso through to a completa success. Thus was organized the Charleston, South Carolina, Mining and Manufacturing Company, Prof. F. S. Holmes, President, and the writer, Chemist and General Superintendent. The en? terprise thus inaugurated has already brought hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of property into demand, and infused our citizens with lifo and energy. Stcannrs and ships seek tho Ashley for outward freights, and South Carolina has already become tho exporter ra tuer than the importer of fertilizers. Such, in brief, is tho history of this remarka? ble discovery-rem irkablo no more in that the material ha* remained so long handled but un? known, than in its immense futura rafluonco in tho history of the State-remarkable that it is not thc result of accidental, haphazard adven? ture, but the gratifying success of organized scientific research; and while tho writer cannot bc insensible of honor in having been ti ie in? strument in discovering, in opening up and developing this invaluable resource of his adopted State, he feels that too much praise and commendation cannot be accorded to his years of arduous toil and heavy personal ex? pense of time and means, with far too scanty assistance from the State, have establishd for their successors the landmarks which will safely load thom to thc haven of snc:ca3ful en? terprise. Thus, for the first timo in tho history of the continent of America, have "Native Bono Phos? phates" been discovered in avsilablo quautity; and no supply so abundant, so easy ot access, and so rich iii tho clements of fertility, is yet found olsowhero in tho world. This'must'be worked on a largo scale-private means are in? adequate-the interest is too vast. Wo are in need of capital, labor, mining and manufactur? ing skill, enterprise, energy. Our mountains aro full of gold, copper, silver, lead, iron, man? ganese and sulphur; our mid! md bolt abounds in thc pures', kaolin, now every day appliod to some new or novel usc; also, in the best fire? proof clays and sands for pottery, glass and crucible manufacture. And now is discovered, for tho first time iu tho history of America, that which, for many years overlooked, is of all else in the Stato or country, most valuable to au agricultural community. Charleston, September 9,1868. JFOJtEIO y XISCELZAXY. -An irreverent Frenchman writes that Queen Victoria is a "httio dumpy, red-faced old lady, having in her eye a dull sort of gloam, which makes ono involuntarily think of a lu? natic asylum." -Tho last dress Eugenio was seen in at Biarritz was a chestnut poplin, trimmed with crosscuts of the same, bordered with satin of tho samo shade, a waite cloth loose jacket and a chestnut brown straw hat trimmed with velvet. -Mr. Gladstone, in replv to an appeal from a lady of Liverpool, England, on tho subject of female suffrage says that "it deserves con? sideration in what way property in fcraalo hands can advantageously be roprosontod in thc constituencies." but beyond that ho "asks leave to reserve his lull discretion." -It is horribly hinted thal two-thirds of tho thirty thou fand patients iu French lunatic asy? lum^ are perfectly sane, but havo boen placed in thom for various infamous reasons. It is exceedingly easy lo get a person incarcerated, only tho certificate of a police doctor being re? quired; but it is proportionately difficult to procure release. -Under thc new order of things by which tho telegraphs of England aie owned and man? aged by government, Mr. Beater is likely to find his occupation gone. A press association is forming for tho collection and transmission of news. An arrangement is to bc catered into by whicii a leader writer can send a late article by telegiaph to his paper for about five shillings. -Palis has formed a new trado for some of her peoplo. It is tho hiring of fruit for grand banquets. In the same way as people hire china and glass for balls, apples and pears, prizo melons, aro hired for tho central piece. As soon as tho banquet is over tho speculator removes hts fruit, ami it is next day on some other aristocratic board. Chignons arc also hired in Paris by tho day for parties, or by the mouth. -The working expenses of tho railways of Europe during 18G5 aro estimated to bear tho following proportion to tho receipts: Austrian, 38.8 percent.; Prussian, 40.4 por cent.; French, 40.7 percitit.; Netherlands, 43.7 percent.; Dan? ish, 47.1 per cent.; Gorman States, 47.6 por cent.; English, 47.9 percent.; Spanish, 55 per cent.; Portuguese, 55.1 per cent.; Russian 59.4 percent.; Italian, 59.7 per cjnt.; and Swedish, 59.8 per cont. -Fifty thousand francs salary is paid to tho editor of tho ludependanco Bolgo, of Brussels. This papor has a larger circulation ic Paris than any of tho French government papers ex? cept the Patrio, and is very rich. It lately tried to have all its Paris correspondence sent by telegraph, but that would have obliged all its contributors to reveal their true names, and aa they were unwilling to do this the pr., ject was abandoned. -Horse railroads have been tried in England and failed. The experiment was not made on a very extensive scale. About one hundred feet of "tramway" was laid down about ten years ago in Blackfriars road; but no cars cars were provided. It has never paid any dividends, and now the order has boen issued to take up the track, because mtny horses have been crippled by falling down on tho rails. It is very clear that horse rai hoads will not pay ni Engiaud. -"Charles VII of Spain," as bc calls him? self, is still staying iu Paris, ?nd lodges in gen? teel apartments in Inc-Rue Cardinal Fcsch. Ho is said to be a handsome young man, with grave, polished manners. He reminds visitors of his rank and the cloud which overhangs him at present by in vari ibly handing thm a chair with his own hands. Strict Spanish eliquetto forbids any one to sit in thu presence of the sovereign, and this action id iuteuded to impress upon his visitors tliat Le waives its piovisions tor the time beiug. -A new process of manufacturing steel is noticed in tho English papers. The Bessemer or pueumatic plan requires pig iron of tho fin? est brand, acid is unequal to the conversion of metal of inferior finality charged with largo quantities ol' sulphur and phosphorus, 'lue new process, it is reported, is chemical aud not mochanic.il, thus securing great economy of time and labor. Nitrate of soda ia thc in? gredient employed in the manufacture; aud me report of a committee upon the tensile >nd re? sisting s.rcngth of steel mad - by tiiis method, places it upou an equality with the finest kinds. Vast doposils of ore, hitherto considered use? less, it is assorted, can now bo manufactured into lirst-class steel. -In Great Britain, sfati-jticj compiled from authentic sources relativo to the moneyed power of tho laboring population of Great Bri? tain show that ibero are one thousand niue hundred and ten co-operative societies carry? ing on the business ot grocers or provision sc-liers, with an aggregate capital of twenty million pounds, and of these about two-thirds have been successful in a financial point of view. The "building and freehold land socie? ties," represent a capital of seventy thou? sand dollars, about fifty thousand dollars of which are invested in dwellings tor members' The co-operative associations, trade societies, friendly and benevolent societies, building as? sociations and savings banks, all combined, represent a capital of nearly six hundred mil liou dollars. -Thc Liberals of Dublin, mainly Roman Catholics, have united upon two candidates to return to Parliament-Mr. Pim, a Protestant Dissenter, and Sn* Dominie Corrigan, an inde? pendent Roman Catholic. The latter gentle? man for many years has boen at tho head of the me lical profession of Dublin, and has taken a prominent ond honorable position in public affairs. Sir Dominie Corrigan has is? sued an address to the voters, m which he promises to vote for the disestablishment and disendowment of the Established Church of Ireland. He says: "Peace and good will can never prevail in Ireland as long as England compels Catholics and Dissenters, who, with independent spirit, support their own churches, to pay tribute for the maintenance of a State Church. It is contended that the Established Church holds its right by prescription and the usage of three hundred years. Neither time, nor prescription, nor u<age can make that just which is in itself injustice. I will support and advocate freedom of education. To an amend? ed Landlord and Tenant bill I will give my warm advocacy. Mv guiding priuciple will be that the bad landlord should bo compelled to do by law that which the good landlord now djes from his own sense of justice." The medical profession of Dublin have contributed largely to the oxpenses of Cor igan's election. ?Harrie?i. On Thursday evening, 12th instant, by the Hov. W. B. W. HOWE, ISAAC HAYNE IO ELLEN PAR?
