VOLUME VT.-NUMBER 940.] CHARLESTON, S. C., THURSDAY MORMNG, SEPTEMBER '?t 1868. EIGHTEEN CENTS A WEEK JJ URNING OP CLAUSSEN'S MILLS. At about a quarter to two o'clock this morn ing a fire broke out in the upper story of Claus ceu's steam flour mill, at tho corner of State and Cumberland streets. These mills were five stories high, and were built about eighteen months ugo at a cost of $20,000. Tho building was of brick, lined throughout with lumber, of which the best description only was used. By tho time that the first ?tream was thrown a portion of the roof had fallen in, and in less than fifteen miautes the whole of the uppe? part of tho building was a mass of flanks. The glare could bo seen all over thc cit}, and tbe reflection on thc stores on thc east side of East Bay was as bright as that of the sun at noon. It Boon became evident tbat there was little hope of saving tho mills, bat water was poured rapidly OJ the walls to kocp them from falling in. There was a good deal of commotion in tho neigh? borhood, many persons seeming disposed to pack up and movo out of tho way of all possi? ble danger. It is said thal the property is but partially insure t?. TITREE A. M.-A part of thereat'wall has fall? on. The buiitling and contents were insured for $15,000 in the agency of W. B. Heriot & Co. Mr. Claussen is said to value tho mille, plank, and stock at $70,000 THREE-TWENTY A. M.-All the walls have fallen in, and it is believod that there is no danger of the fire spreading, as bnt little wind is blowing. Nothing is known as to the origin of the fire. BY TELEGKAP-H.

WASHINGTON, December 9.- THE SENATE re? fused, after listening to a few paragraphs, lo hear thc President's message read. Sumner's Georgia bill, after promising that the Legislature had failed to comply with thc requirements of the Reconstruction acts, by omitting to exact the required oath, and that it did things utterly unjustifiable and requiring the intervention of Congress, provides that the existing government shall be deemed provis? ional only, and in all respects subject to tho paramount authority of Congress to abolish, modify or control the same, until the Legisla? ture comphc8 with all tho requirements of the Reconstruction acts and adopts the Fourteenth amendment. The fundamental condition of the bill is that no change be made infringing on the right of suffrage of any class of Citizens. The bill em? powers the Governor to call the General As? sembly next April, excluding all who cannot take the prescribed oath; also, to suspend or remove State or Municipal efScors and appoint others in stead. The President is ordered to place at the disposal of the Governor such por? tion of tho army or navy as may be necessary to preserve life, property, peace, and the free expression of political opiniea. IN THE HOUSE, contrary to universal custom, the message was laid upon tho table, ins ead of referring it to the Committee of the Whole. The bill to relieve Judge Mosas, of South Caro? lina, from political disabilities was passed; also a bill directing the Virginia election to take plaoe on the fourth Thursday in May. The Reconstruction Committee reported a bill removing political disabilities from about twenty persons, mostly Virginians, including J. R. Anderson, of the "Tredegar Iron Works." Condensed Sews by Telegraph.. In spito of all pi ecautions, tho President's massage was published yesterda/ morning by several of tba Northern pipers in advance of its delivery to Congress. Gen aral Z. B. Vance has been elected Grand Mastor of the Grand Lodge, A. P. M., in North Carolina, for the ensuing year. Deacon Andrews, tho sanctimonious CJE nacticut murderer, WAS yosterday lound guilty of manslaughter, and scntenocd to twenty years' imprtsjument. 'Tho North Carolina legislature is discuasit g ? bribery oaeos and railroad appropriations. I THE J'ltESIDEXT'S M ES S AU E. The President, in beginning his message, says that tho greatest wrongs inflicted cn a people are canse J by unjust and arbitrary leg? islation, or the unrelenting decrees of despotic rulers, and that a timely revocation of injurious and oppressive measures is the greatest good that cm be conferred upon a nation. The leg? islator who recracos his steps when convinced of error will be rewarded with the respect and gratitude of his people. Our own history proves that most if not all of our domestic troubles are traceable to violations of the organic law and excessive legislation. Thia is strikingly shown by thc Reconstruction enactments of the past threo years. "After a fair trial they hive substanti? ally failed, and proved poraiciotis ia their re? sults, and there Booms to bo no gool reason why they should longer romain upon the st atute book. States to which tho constitution guar? anteed a republican form of government have been reduced to military dependencies, in each of which the people have bcon made snbjoct to the arbitrary will of tho commanding general. Although tho constitution requires that each State shall be represented in Concrress, Vir? ginia, Mississippi and Texts arc yet excluded from the two houses, and, contrary to tho express provisions of that in? strument, wero denied participation in the recent election for a President cud vice-Presi? dent of the United States. Tbc attempt to place thc white people uuJer thc domination of persons of color in the South has impaired, if not destroyed, the ftieadly relations that had previously existed between them, and mutual distrust has engendered a feeling of animosity which, leading in some instances to collidion and bloodshed, has prevented that co-operation between tho two races which is so essential to the success of industrial enterprises in thc Southern Slates." The ['resident .says, fur? ther, that thc entire Union has bom agi? tated by the apprehension of troubles, involv? ing the peace of;the nation, which has been injuriortsly affected by the derangement of business and labor, and tho want of prosperity in tho South. The Federal Constitntiou must assuredly be adequato to the settlement of questions growing out of tho war waged lorita vindication. When Congress mot in December, 1865, tho Executive had, under (he constitu? tion, nearly completed tho work of restoration. But Congress interfered and adopted measures which arrested the progress of restoration, and which after three year's of strife have left the country further from union and fraternal feel? ing than at their beginning. This legislation should be abrogated, or else made to conform to thc principles of republican govern? ment. Tho President goe3 on to say that t?e "Tenure-of-Office bill" should bera pealedj because while it ia in /oreo the Presi? dent: cannot enjoin that rigid accountability < of public officers so ossential to an honored ad* ministration ol' the laws. Tho President says that the army appropriation act of March 2, 1867, interferes with the President's constitu? tional functions as commander-iu-chiuf, and denies States of tbs Union thc right of prc ticting themselves by their own militia, lio'.h ot these provisions should bc at one J annulled. 'Tt is believed that tho repeal ol' all such laws would be a;eepted by the American people as at least a partial return to tho fundamental principles of tho Government, and an in? dication that hereafter the constitution is to bc made the nation's sole and unerring gui ie." FINANCE. Thc President says that the public expendi? tures have reached an uupreccdjutoJ amount in comparison with tho growth of thc popu? lation. That has increased from 1731 to 18J0 700 per cent., and by 1869 wdl have iu.-reased to 869 per cent. In tho same time tuc annual expenditure of tho government bas increased no less than 8618 per cent, in 1860 thc ex? penditures woro only $63,000,000. In 1869 they will bo $372.000,000, an increase of 489 per cent., while tho population bas only increiecd 21 per cent. Th6 national expenses in 1791 were $1 per capita, in I860 $2, amt in 1809 they will bo $9 78. The President further a'tys that the receipts from internal revenue and customs have grad? ually diminished dnjriag tho last threo years, and a continuance of cxtravagrant expendi? tures will involve us in national bankruptcy, or make inevitable an increase of the present onerous aud obnoxious taxe?. Judicious legis? lation and economy can alone remedy the de? fect and avert the threatened danser. With? out proper caro there will bo no balance n the Treasury at the clo3c ol' the present /ear, which would ouce more lticrcaso the dcb'. By tho report of tho Secretary of thc iTu?snry it appears that for Ibo year ending June 30, 1338, tho receipts were $405,638.033, and the payments $377,310,281, leaving a burplus of $28,297,793. Duriug tho year ending Juuo 30,18G9, the receipts will bo $341.892 SOS, leaving a balance of $5.240 3'.'S in favor of tho year onding Jure 30, 18'0, in which year thc receipts should bs $327,000.000, and the payments $303,000,000, leaving a sur? plus of $2-1000,000. The President gives addi? tional details concerning the growth and dimi? nution of the debt before tho war, and its in? crease during the war to $2,878,992:909, the debt being, on November 1, 1868, $2.527,129,552. During the thirteen month? just past, the debt will have increased $46,500,000. The Prosid-nt urges Congress to make provision, without further delay, for the payment of our obliga? tions at as early a period as may b? praetioable. $850,000,000 of our debt are held abroad, and our citizens aro taxed to support the foreigners who possess them. Tho debt must not bo re? garded as permanent, for the result would be that the borrowers would become the servants of the lenders, and tho lenders tho masters of tho p?oplo. Wc pride ourselves on freeing 4,000,000 of colored men. It will bo our shame if 40,000,000 of people make themselves tho slaves ef the bondholder. Huge debts are in? compatible with a republican systen. Ibey would sap i's foundations and erect upon its ruins a morned aristocracy. Tho President is- in iavor cf reducing tho rate of interest. Tho Secrotary of tho Treasury advisee 5 per cont, as .bo rate; Con? gress iast session was in favor >{ 4 and 4i per cent.; others thirJk 3 per cent, enough. The President monti ms tho popr.hr arguments against paying 6 per ceut. in gold on what was lent in a depreciated paper currency, and agaiust the pajmsat of internst ott tbobondj d.-posited by tho National Banks, which aro exempt from taxation, and shows that 17 per cent, maybe rcoeivod by the bondholder ou each dollar invested. Tho opinion ?? advaucod that tue bondholders mty bo willing to come to reasonable terms. They have received baok far mere than their money invested, and tue President thinica that tho t? por cent, uow paid to them by the government should be applied to thc reduction of tho principal in semi-an? nual instalments, liquidating the entire doo! ia 10 years aud 8 months. This should give thc pubbc creditors a fair and liberal citupcnsatioti lor the use of their capital. If Ibis provision bo made, ;Uo natio.i will rapidly recover it* pfospu'tty. ! TUE CUBIUNC?. In regard to the currency the Fresidei iterates substantially the views express his last message. The question of tho value of the paper currency as oppose metallic currency is carefully examined, the necessity is shown of making the gi back convertible into specie. Legislatio this subject is urgently required. Nono tho bondholders receive payment iu coin; soldier, the sailor, tho farmer, the public vant, the artisan, the mechanic and lab< receive nothing but depreciated paper, only just plan is to restore thc currency to specie standard. The President shows production aud export ot enid, and thc ami now current in bank, and that there are $i 000,000 in gold not accounted for, probably this is all in the country, J shows that we eau Ret back to specie ] mcnts; but not while the government thc banka continue to issue irredeemable no If we arc not to have a specie currency, let mints be abolished aud all our specie expon When tho government aud the banks rest specie payments all notes of either, of less t $20, should be withdrawn from circulation as to give tho people a uniform curro ney aU times uniform, stable and secure. DEPARTMENT OF TUE IXTEBIOB. During thc year ending June 30, ll 6.G35.000 acros of puolic land were disposed the cash receipts being $1,632 743. On thc 3 June thc pension rolls bore 109,613 names, amount paid for pensions during the year inc $24.010:982. Ibo patent office report she that 14.153 patents were issued during I year. TUE INDIAN* WAU. The President is cordially in favor of i proposed Indian treaties, reserving lands to occupied by the various tribes. This pol met with sigual success years ago, and is mt necessary than ever before But, iu return what the Indians receive, they should be ma to remain within tbeir reservations. Ibis tho only way in which war can be avoi ded. THE PACIFIC BAILBOADS. Tho railroad from Omaha to Sacramento expected to be completed before the cxpirati ot the next fiscal year. Tho amount of bon issued to the companies ia $41,337,000. TUB ARMY AND NAV?. Tbe strength of tho army ou September ? was 48,000 men, which will be reduced 1 January 1 to 43.000. Tho President hopes lb Congress will sanction the reduetion in the i fantry force, and thc retrenchment recoi mended by General Grant. The estimate the War Departmont for the year ending Jui 80,1869, was $77,124,707, but the expenditn so far shows that tho cost for the whole ye; will be in oxcc63 of $93.000,000, if no redictioi are made. Ja t,he javy a considerable reduction b: beon effete.'?; There are 42" vessels, carrylr 411 guns, in tho six squadrons which are estai lished in different parts of the world. Tl tolal number of vessels in the navy is 20' mounting 1743 guns. Eighty-one vessels ni in usc. Tho number of enlisted nicu in tb service is 8000. A moro thorough survey t the North Pneific Ocean is advised. The n.ivi pension fuud-a nioioty of ibo proceeds of th sale of prizes during thc war-amounts t $14,000 000. The expenditures of the Dopar: ruent during thc last fiscal year were $20 120,394, and the estimate for the ensuing yea $20.993,414. THE POSTAL SEBVICE. Thc restoration of postal scrvico in tb Southern States, aud tko opening of nc routes, has made necessary a deticioncy apprc priation of $741,446. The rostored and nc routes amount, within the last two years, t 487,000 miles. F?BEION RELATIONS. Tbe President says that tbe mcdiatio; of tho United Stitcs between Brasil am Paraguay has been without effect, and dc tails thc eirci'nistauce attending the cou trover8y between Mr. Washburn and Presiden Lopez as involving the right of asyiuui. Lc pez charged Mr. Washburn with complicit; in insurrection aud treaeon. According to tin statement of tho latter two United States citi zens attached to the legation were seized ant imprisoned and tortured by Lopez. Mr. lie Mahon, the successor of Mr. Washburn, ha been ordered to investigate the whole bubject attended by a proper naval forco 1 to sustaii sucj demande as thc occasion may require and to vindicate the rights of the United States citizens referred to, and of any others wh< may bc exposed to danger in thc theatre o war/' Negotiations are pending \v;!b a view to tin survey and construction of a ship canal ser *i tho Isthmus of Darien, and the tc-ult is ^O;;JC tobe submitted during thc presuut session Ibo President han beon o.diged to ask for cx> planation and satisfaction for uational injuries committed by tho President of Uayti. Thc unhappy condition of Ute entiro West Indie?, except Cuba and Porto Itieo, has been followed by a profound popular conviction io favor ol republican governments and an entire desire tosecure thom. The attempt, however, to es? tablish republics meets with many obstac'f s, growing out of the old habits of dependence on European monarchical powers. Wnile wc have, says the President, professed a deeided unwillingness that any part of this continent, or of its adjacent islands, should bo made a theatre for a new establishment of mo? narchical power, too little bas been dono by us on the other hand to attach thc communities by which we are surrounded to our own coun? try, or to lend even a moral support to tho efforts they so constantly make to secure re? publican institutions for themselves. Our re? cent and present example may check the growth of freo principles, and make thcac commu? nities dtcad a government which consigns to military dominion States which ate in? tegral parts ol' our Fnion, and wliich, while resisting any attempt by other nctious to extend to this hemisphere tho monarchical institutions of Europe, eslabiifcbcs over n por? tion of its own people a rule moro harsh and tyrannical than any known to civilized powers Alaska was a.quiicd to extend tiat.onal ju? risdiction aud republican principles. A treaty has been nude wiih the Kitig of Denmark f.r the purchase ot St. Thomas and M. John'*, with tho consent of their inhabitants, and is s. ill under consideration by the Senate. Tho President Baye thai national policy seems to sauctiou tho acquisition and hioorpo ratienot the adjacent continental and insular tfomeauuitics as speedily a3 it can be dono peaceab.y. lawfully and waln ut any violation of national justice, faith or honor. The gov? ernment will boforo long find it nceeseary to tend some effective aid lo Ike tolut.ou of thi problems k*?pi before tho world in St. Domingo. Tho tiino h .a arrived when a di? rect proposition ior its annexation would receive the consent of (he peoplo and of foreign nations. There is no danger in extending our area.

The Sulphuric A cid and Superphosphate Company of South Carolina-Srite and Description of thc New Works-How Sulphuric Acid is Made-The Machine? ry for Grinding the Phosphate Rock Process of Manufacturing thc Super? phosphate-Aims and Prospects of thc Company. At the timo that tho discovery of the South Carolina phospkatic deposits .was first bruited abroad, it was the popular bolief that we had at our very doors a natural wealth which would make tho State as productive of gold as Cali? fornia. No thought was given as to what might bo necessary to bo dono to prepare the phosphates for tko market, and a vague idea was entorlaiued that tho nodules, as they were du? out of tho ground, would make the finest fertilizer in use. It is hardly necessary to say that this idea bad ao foundation in fact. Thc process of manipulating the phosphat ; rock, so as to adapt it for uso asa superphosphate, ia both delicate and expensivo, requiring elabo? rate chemical apparatus, as well as powerful and costly michiucry. At first, no attempt was made to manipulate the rock in thc State, thc principal company confining itself to exca? vating thc reek and shipping it, when cleans? ed, to the North. Some of our long-headed buMuess men saw that it was a great loss to send tho material from tho placo woore it was taken from tho ground to Baltimore or Phila? delphia, there to bo manipulated, and then to bo returned, perhaps, for sMe to tho very State which first sent it forth. In tho profit inatio by the shipper, tho manufacturer, and tho sel? ler of thc marketable article^ they saw a large margin of profit to themselves, as well as a 1 savin- to the consuraor. and they dotoruiinecl ' to establish i ? South Carolina a factory which l should, in the first place, make the sulphuric ' acid-by tho action of which tho rock is made ? ready for uso-and then manufacture the rock 1 in the section of country in which it was pro? duced. 1 nm SULPHURIC ACID AND SUPERPHOSPHATE COM? PANY. OF SOUTH CAROLINA, which grew out or these general view?, is alto- : gather a Charleston enterprise. The principal projectors were the Hon. C. G. Memminger, 1 Mr. W. C. Bee and Mr. Robfcrt Adgor, of this ' city, who secured tho services of Dr, N. A. Pratt, a keen, energetic, practical chemist, thoroughly familiar with thc process of making the acid and of manipulating the phosphine rock. There wero many difficulties in the way. The Northern companies do not allow their > pulverizing machi aery to bs inspected or de? scribed; but Dr. Pratt was not to bo daunted, md designed, himself, the necessary machine? ry, which was made partly in the North and partly, and very satisfactorily, at the work? shops of W. S. Henerey & Co. and John F. Taylor & Co., in this eity. For rn 'Mas the acid , ...? '''.,'.'"], w?r? required a Bonos of hugo leaden tann? or chambers, which could only bo ruado perfect for thoir purpose by Northern mechanics skill? ed in that particular branch of busiooss. Gradually, however, the horizon cleared, and tho company has now made such headway as to justify A OLANCE AT THE WORKS, which aro -Hunted about three miles from Charleston. Thu avenue which loads to them turns off from tho main road a short distance above tho Neck fortifications, and adorned though it bc with majestic oaks whoso gnarled tiunks and mossy beards make them seem imagos of tin sombro past, it leads to a sccno whose bustle aud activity tell of thc living, breathing present. At the ?nd of tho avenue in - lie vicinity of thc old magaziae, at the junction of a deep cre?k with tho Cooper River, was tho old shipyard, where was built to.vards tho close of tho last century tho United States man-of-war John Adams. But for more than fifty years the yard has been desertod, aud thc spot which it occupiod is now overgrown with luxuriant vegetation. At (his point there ia a sufficient depth of water to allow vessels of deep draught to como up to a landing, aud as it was near the phosphatic deposits, within reach of the city, and close to the line of the Northeastern and South Carolina Raik.?*ds, Iba new company purchased ii tract of soveral acres and made arrangements for putting up thc necessary buildings. It may bo remarked here that the site of the works is very healthy, bctug f.?fl from fever at a 1 seasons, although singularly enough a few hundred yards tram tba jutting point upon which the works staud tho mias? matic influence holds full sway. The contract for tho erection ol'Ibo works was givou to il es sra. D. Lopez & Sons, of Charleslon, in September last, and has been carried out in a prompt and highly c:. ditabld manner. Thc main building is about two hun? dred and forty feet in length,and two anda half stories high, and is so arranged that ad? ditions may be made as tho business of the company increases. It is a handsome and sub? stantial structure, and laces the creek, which has a depth of about seventeen feet. Insido the building is divided by a partition. Ute west? ern section, moro than a half of tho wholo, forming the sui piturie acid works, aud the eastern section tho superphosphate work?. This leads us to the consideration of HOW SULPHURIC ACID IS MADE. The building of which wo spoke as being di? vided into two sections is net woathcr-boarded throughout-tho western section, whero the acid is made, being no moro than a skeleton of timber with ?. solid lead lining forming two hugo ranks cf that metal, tho larger of which is only equalled io size by three others m tho United Statos-two at Pittsburg and oue at Philadolphla. To this part of tho building there is no first story or secoud story. It is a loadon bouso without stairs or means of com? munication, and containing two chambo.s of unequal size, tba smaller being toward tue east and the laiger toward the weat. In large furnaces which adjoin the smaller chamber is placed a mixture of scvon or eight parts of sul? phur with oue ol nitrato ot soda or of potash. An intense heat is applied, and a cur ront of air carries the products of the combustion into tho leaden chamber, the bottom of which 13 covered With water te the depth of a few inches. Tho principal pro? ducts of thc eoustruction of the above mon tiouod mixture aro sulphurous and nitric acid, which together with aqueous vapor and at? mospheric air form tho contents of the cham? ber. Theso acids combine with a portion o. water to form iv v.hite crystalline pubstaiieo, | which upon fall? lg into tho water ol' the chain- j ber is instantly d.-c.'mposc.l. The nitrous j ueid impart* oxygen to thc humid sulphurous ao.d, aud so converts it iuto sulphuric staid. YYiion tb* irater in Ihechamb-T is ren?cred i sufiioieiitly acid, which is judged of by ita epecifio gravity, this drains off into the second and larger c atnu r, where it is cvaporatod down to a certain density, and is fhcu read* for usc. lu addition to thc t.vo Lank? now dcrcnbed, themis roon, for the erection of two others of a similar capacity. The bolpbur oped in tho process is L'f cjursc expensive, but thc company have it ia cwlcmplaiiou lu un?i'.fa - ture eventually tneir own smpuur uv iua.>mS pyrites, which are feand in unlimited quanti? ties in Georgia, North Carolina and this State. Thc sulphuric acid being now made, so to speak, we turn to tho eastern section o? the building, which contains TUE SUPERPHOSPHATE WORKS. Prominent in tho division which, with its machinery, has been under the special charge of Captain Horace A. Pratt, is the steam en? gine. It is eighty-horse power, of the most improved pattern, and has one of tho largest flywheels ever brought into thc State. This engino giveB power to the crushers and pulver? izers. When the phosphate rock reaches the wharf, it is mn up to the works on a tramway. It is then in lumps, somo a3 small as beans, and others having the appearance oF Brobdignagian Irish potatoes afflicted with a cutaneous erup? tion. Tho lump3, called by scientific men no? dules, aro hauled up in an elevator to tho hopper of the pounding michino, which looks something like an overgrown coffee mill. When tho lumps leave tho crushing machine they aro no larger than cru-hed sugar, and they are carried by elevators to tho pulverizing ma cbiuc3, of which there are two, so arranged that they together pulverize as much as their big brother crushos. When what were phos? phate rocka leave the pulverizing machines Ibey are in the form of fine powder or flour. Ibis powder is then mixed with thc acid made in the adjoining division, and is afterwards stowed awpy in binns in readiness for a market. One instance will show to what perfection the machinery has bo2n brought. From the time that the rocks leave the tramway at thc door of the works until they reach the tram? way again as marketable superphosphates, they are not touched by hand. The carrying to and fro, the crushing, the pulverizing, the mixing and thc returning to the enhance, is all done by machinery. i Large platform soales which have be.-n erect? ed on the line of the tramway midway between the building and tbe wharf will facilitate tho weighing aad shipment of thc article. Having now deseribod the works and the processes of manufacture '.hare carried on, wc will, in con elusion, speak briefly of THE POSITION AND PROSPECTS OF TBS COMPANY. ' If thorough orgaaization, practical skill in management, and every facility which natural 1 pesition and improved raaahinery caa give, are any guarantees of good fortune, there is a bright proapact before the Sulphuric Acid and 1 Superphosphate Company of South Carolina. The works, as wc bavo seen, are in an admi? rable position. There is ?very convenience for the reception and storage of thc raw material aud the inanufaoturod article. If tba phos? phate is te bc sent by water, the ship lies within two hundred feot of tho door ef thc \vorks| i( jt is to be forwardot} by rail, it is stored in tk? cara of tho Northeastern Hail- | road or South Carolina Bai bro ad, which will run right up to tho works. Tho piles of the wharf ar? protected by zinc platea, and tbs cree i hat fifteen feet of water at lowtido at thc bead ot' the wharf. The coaipauy will bo able, in about a fort? night, to commence operations formally, and expect in the course of twelve months to man? ufacture about twelve hundred tons ef acid and prepare for market three thousand tons of superphosphate. Whon it becomes necessary, the works can bo readily increased in size, so as to admit of a much larger prodactien. Tho manufacture of fertilisers from phos? phate earths is already an important branch of industry, amounting in ling laud to about 200,000 tons, and in '.his country to G0,000 tons yea ly. And if a cheap and reliable article can lo pro luccd, as we believo it can, it will be bard to fix a limit to the probable consump? tion. Dr. Pratt expects to turu out a highly soluble fertilizer, which shall bo capable of giving tho largest r?turti possible in propor? tion to thc quantity used. This cannot fail to hud a ready and profitable market. Ws hail the construction of thc works of the Sulphuric Acid and Superphosphate Company as another proof that our people are realizing the importance ot increasing their manufactur? ing power, and that they feel at last that no people can grow rich by agriculturo alone.

Upon thc same ?vj?'a sat Chief Justice Moses, of South Carolina, wno is here to get his disa bdity removed by Congress. Bet?re he cati have ms ease determined it will become necessary for tue Homo to deter? mino whether tho late .Mr. Munn was entitled to his seat. It will be remembered that Mr. Mann wa? at tho time ot ins deeeaso tho sit? ting member from his district; but his seat was contested, and the qucsiivu was undeter? mined, and is yet before tho Committee on Flections. Should the House decide that Ma tau's coutes tk&taMt was entitled to thc scat, Menard w uld uot be received, as he was elected to lill Mann's unexpu'ed term.

Bo far as their general usc in the United St itos U ;0:ic?n:eJ, this may be true. It is also true that tho same titters were made and sold in Uie Island of fat. Thomas, ever forty yea? ago, as any old planter, merchant or sea captain dom; business with tho West Im-iiss will tell you. It is distiuct'y within my reoeileetien that on the return of my father (who was a oei captain, and doing an extensivo trade ia the tropics,) he would invariably h ive these Hitters among the ship's stores, and our family sideboard was nevar without thurn.
