Phosphate Diggings-What they Look Like and How they arc Worked. An afternoon drive to the min6s of the Wan? do Mining and Manufacturing Company will repay evon those most familiar with Charles" ton and South Carolina in tho past and present; but thc ti mc of tho ?tranger, bent on gain or pleasure, could not bc more pleasantly or pro? fitably spent. A few jolts over the cobble stones of Meeting-street and you are upon the now shell road, tho boast of tho present city administration. It is generally smooth, but it has some holes, so that your buggy now glides like a skiff upon the placid waters of a lake-now ?nrches violently like a ship in a storm at sea. With a good horse, however, th?8 part of tho trip is soon over; and just after you pass the Six Milo House, you turn eff into tho old Dor? chester road, and in the three remaining milos you traverse, through alternate sand and water, a piny swamp region, the theatre of many of thc most remarkable scones in Mr. Gilmore Simms' popular romances. The spring, which wai tho trysting placo of Kato Walton an I her lover, is but a lew feet from thc road, and Porgoy's portly figure, pros trato upon a log, advancing, Bcrpcut-like, upo:i a cooter, or his rubicund visage bent in epicurean meditation upon his hominy pot, would scarcely startle you in tho swamp or pine thicket. An hour and a half is timo enough for thc whole ride of nine miles, and then yon come upou what was once a plantation, but is non tho "Phosphate Mines." The old wooden house partly io ruins, half hidden among tho branch? ing live oaks, with its startling repaire of un? painted boards, is a fit bul rude awakener from the dreams of thc past to tho action ol thc prosent. This is tho headquarters of tho "mine3." Here resides Mr. Burns, tho super? intendent of the diggings, and here, on Satur? day cvoning, tho treasurer calls tho pay roll and settles with the hands. The miners arc all negroes, and it is somewhat amusing to no? tice tho promptitude with which jet black fel? lows, with kinky heads and ivory teeth, and clothes befitting their condition, answer to the names of Wm. Middleton, Bull Pringle, Henry < Pincknoy, Thomas Lowndes, &c, &c. Pom? pey, Sambo, Cuff JO or January, would seem far moro appropriate. The minos proper aro several hundred yards from tho house, and consist of a series of d'tches, from throe to six feet deep, across an old rico field of an .".rea of citrht acres, and ly? ing directly upon tbo banks of tho Ashley Rivdr. Here nearly ouo hundred mon may bo 1 seen busily employed with picks digging out from tho sides of the ditches lumps of phos? phate rock, varying in size from a pigeon's ecg to a half bushel, the average size being about that of half a brick, or a little larger. In wet weather, and after hoavy rains, the ditches till rapidly with water, which is baled out by shovels or let off by narrow cuts, tho work never being interrupted by that L.eans. The rocks aro thrown up on thc top of tho ground and aro taken by wheelbarrows to the drying ( ground near ?:e river, where they ate scatter- , ed out and 1 J fe to be cleansed and dried by tho ] sun and rain. S> vcral hundred tona may be , see?lying there at ono time. When thc rocks 1 hav: become sufficiently clean and dry, they ire gathered in'o a pde near the wharf, and , thence loidod into the vessels of the company, . which carry them oither to tho !? ills at the . root of Hasel-street, or to the Northern ports i to fill orders-thia phosphate rock supplying i the material for much of tho fancy manures ; which our fanners, as well aa thoso^f tho , North, buy at very high prices. The field of eight acres, which haa not beon quite exhausted, ban already supplied about Bix thouaand tona of phosph'tle rock. Tho company own hundred? of acr 33 contiguous to this field equally as rich in phosphate, and containing enough to supply tho demand fer yoara to come. Tho outorpri.ie is yet in its , infancy, aud the dally pivrlc -lion is nothing to what it will be wbca tu? cmpany have put 1 upthc washing machine1. R'jil built tho rail- j road which they now hivi- in c ?ntomplalion. ( Tho pcrcentago of phosphate in tho rock I varies from forty to ninety per cent., thc aver- j age being about fifty per cont. The rock ia, ; therefore, not quite aa rich aa that found in Bomo other diggings, but, owing to its larger J size and thc shallow depth at which it ia found, , ia fully as prc''.: 'ble if not moro so. < Thc company owning ita own diggings, vee. 1 gels and milla, and bcir?g managed by thor- j ough practical buiiness men and machinists, ts sure of succ?s.-;, and will probably, at no dis- ? tant date, be one of thc wealthiest corporations ' in thc State. , ER OX TUE STATE CAPITAL. | - 1 A Good Word for Abbeville-High Jinks 1 In Columbia-The Bunk of the State | Case-Thc Charleston Election-Legis- , lat ive Proceedings. . [FROM OUB OWN CORRESPONDENT. ] CoLuaniLA, January 20.-Tbe reception of tho Attorney-General, D. H. Chamberlain, Esq., by < the citizens of Abbeville, opou his recent visit t to that place, has elicited from trat gentleman 1 the warmest expressions of surprise aud thanks. 1 He was not only treated with the greatest ? oivility, but waa recoived with that kindness 1 ind hospitality which have always character- c. ized South Caroliniana. Ho reports that there c ia a very general desire to seo the laws enforced c that peace and order may be preserved; also 1 that there is great harmony in the relations j which cx.at botweon the white people and the t freedmen. Mr. Chamberlain is satisfied that i the community ia one of thc moat peaceable md law-abiding in thc State, and that tho ba<1 1 reputation which has attached to the district . is only due "to tho viciousness of some eight or t :on recognized outlaws. c Judge Vernon, who was holding court at Ab- j ?-oville, ia reported to have given tho big?c?l ' ?atisfaction to the members of thc b.ir aad tao i people generally. 1 An entertainment nag given at Niekersoa's, . ?hia evening, by State Auditor, Mr. ?touben ? romlhison, ut which quite a number of offi- t vals, scuatcrs and rer.reset'tativea, and others * yere presout. An entertainment waa also giv- , ju by Senator Lealio, to a largo number of 1 Wends, iu honor of the election of the Hon. 1 itoubon Fenton as United Statea Senator from j Sew York. Tho speech of Mr. Leslie on the c )Ccaaion waa highly complimentary to the sen- < ttor elect, whom he 6aid he had the gratifica ion of calling an lutimate peraooal friend, and l vho, he felt assured, would bo a warm friend r ;o thc South. ?

Bank of tb o State caso were concluded to-day. Attorney-General Chamberlain followed Mr. Campbell, and closed on the part of the Stats, lt is impracticable to do justice in a synop?cal report to the elaborate arguments of counsel. Mere points would not satisfy the legal fi ater ty and tbe general reader, not familiar with the case, would scarcely appreciate the logical compactness and research shown in the dis? cussion. The decision of the court will proba? bly not be made known until the tenth or fifth tcenth of next month. The mandamus in tho case of the City bf Charleston w.llbe up again to-morrow, when a motion will be made to have tho return of the Board of Aldermen corrected. IN THE SENATE, to-day. Hoyt, from the Committee on Railroads, to whom was refer? red a bill to aid the construction of the Port Royal Railroad, reported back the same, with a recommendatiou that the bill do pass, with an additional section, co wit: SEC. i.

C., was read a third time, passed, and sent to the House of Representatives.

Thc special order, which was a bill to un? able the Savannah and Charleston Railroad Company to complote their road, was dis? charged, and made the special order for 1.30 P. li. to-morrow. A lengthy discussion took place on the favorable re; ort of the Committeo on Claims, on tho account of Joseph Walker, for binding bocks, ftc, for the Senoto in 1860. ?herepoit was finally, on motion of ?Hr.

Compensation to Southern Officeholders who conld not Swallow the Iron-clod Oath-Thc Port lt oj ul Itailroad-The New Scheme for a Subsidy from Con? gress-The Sue Murphy Case, Ax. [FROM OUB SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] WASHINGTON, January 18.-Since the rocoss [bore have been but two moasures introduced, ?vbich are likely to be of any immediate im? portance to thc readers of THE NEWS. Thef ; first of these is thc bill providing for tho com? pensation of Southern men who rendered sor- ' rices in good faith, while holding civil posi? tions for a few months alter tho close of tho war, but who subsequently rolinqmshed their places rather than qualify in tho required form, by taking tho oath commonly known as tho ' the "iron-clad." The bill for the relief of this [argo class of persons, was introduced into Lho Sonate by Mr. Sawyer, and is as follows : A BILL AUTHORIZING PAYMENT TO BE MADE FOB CERTAIN SERVICES RENDERED TO THE UNITED STATES IN THE LATE INSURRECTIONARY STATES. Be lt enacted by tte Sonate and Houso of Representatives of the United states of Amer? ica in Coucrcss assembled, That the heads of the several executive d parivnonts bo, and tuer aro heroby authorized to allow, and thore shall bo paid from aoy proper appropriai ion, to ; offic-rs and employees of tho United States, who failed to tako the oath proscribed by tho act approvod July second, eighteen hundred und sixty-two, such sum or sums of monoy as i may be found due to them, respectively, hy tho iccotiuting officers of tho Treasury Dopartmont, Tor the services, hcretofjro actually rendered, it the rates presenbod by law or "tho regula? tions of tho proper department : Provided, i That before any such comocnsatlun shall bc i illowcdor paid, it aimil bo made to appear lhat ?aid oath was duly taken after tho rendi? tion of such services, or tho person claiming ? :he same shall subscriba aud take before .-onie : competent officer, an I tile, with the account. ;ho oath or affirmation prescribed by tho act requiring au oath of allegiance and to support ? th; Constitution of the United Slat es, inproved August six, eighteen hundred and sixty-one; ind il any person entitled to compensa'ion miler this act ehall have died before tuc pas? sage thereof, such oath or alli matiun may bo ?rat veil. The moasnro is so clearly equitable that hero is little doubt that it will speedily pass \ joth houses. The amount involved is not arge; but as the class of persons who would jo benefitted hy auch an act aro scuerp. iy in ?eedy circumstances, they wouid welcome thc ! joymc-t of what ia justly duo them fiom the i ?ovornment. 1 THE PORT ROYAL RAILROAD. Another bill that will bo watched with intor $st by Charleston readers, is that granting aid 1 ,o tho Port Royal Railroad Company.

THE SUI MUBPHT CASE is engrossing a deal of public attention just now, for the reason that it has come to be re? garded as a test case upon the decision of which will depend, ia great measure, the pros? ecution of a very largo number of analogous claims. The question upon which tho case hinges is simply whether a resident of Confed? erate territory, which had been conquered and occupied by the United States forces, is to bo regarded in all cases as having been a public enemy, hable to have his property seized and used without compensation. The lawyers upon the floor of the Senate have generally support? ed this view; but the injustice of the position has been clearly and forcibly demonstrated by several senators, among whom was Mr. Sawyer, of South Carolina. It is noteworthy that his remarks on this bill happened to he the first set speech delivered by a senator or represen? tative from the South since tho roadm iss'on of our Stato to representation, and as such, they woro heard with merited nttention. R. RADICAL CORRUPTION. The Washington correspondent of the New Yoik Herald, under dato of tho 18th instant, says : Thc first fissure in tho disentcgration of the Radical party was displayed to-day, in the wild writhings of tho Pacific Railroad rings over tho exposures ot a Cincinnati Ridical paper of the concoded corruption in and out of Comrross, in regard to the granting of subsidies to West? ern roads, aud in regard to tho attempted salo of lands enough to form whole States by the Interior Department, to certain speculators for a mere song. These swindles have been the object of General Grant's denunciation within and for thc whole of a month past. They re? ceived attention in Mr. Wash burne's e peech iu tho House, when ho admitted that Iiis party cxnced d i h corruption and scoundrels any other party over born. These statements, for? tified by proofs, a Western correspondent re? produced in the paper in question. That corres? pondent and paper, and tho New York Tribune, which copied his letter, were made tho victims to-day over whose shoulders General Grant and Mr. Washburne were lashed in the most abu? sive and violont manner by tho retained sena? tors of the railroad lings before mentionod. It was an cxiiibition which shocked and startled the many Republican leaders who fi ive sought to give a pause to tho rank corruption charac? terizing their party on railroad legislation. For mote than two hours did Harlan, Pomeroy and Connoss unblushingly defend i liesa railroad grants and land sales which the President elect has declared will, if continued, rum the Repub? lican party. Under tho pretext of asnailing newspapers which have but sympathized with Grant's desire to atop this torront of corruption, these senators foully assailed that representa? tion ot the facts for which Grant has made himself roaponsible to the coan try. The assault on tho papers was only a cover behind which wero gatberod all tho force of tho consolidated rings against the purposes of tho President elect. In vain did Trumbull, Conkling, and Morton, and other senators try to silence the feud by interruptions of other measures. The railroad senators had their say out; defondod the swindles of tbe past and quoted them as tho acts of the porty, and as the acts which would ttark its future. Pomeroy says there are twelve moro railroad bills, tilled to the brim with subsidies, which are to be reported and passed this session. Those subsidies tho best mon in the party aro bent on defeating for the party's salvation sake. To-day the gauntlet was thrown down by tho railroad Congress? men, that no railroad grantB should be defeat? ed, but all should be added on to the divisions which impeachment, civil tenure, negro sur? frage, financial affairs and whiskey thieving aro participating within the party. THE EMPEROR'S SPEECH. Tho sossion of tho French Senate and Corps L?gislatif was oponed on tho 18th instant by the Emperor Napoleon iu person, with a speech from tho throne. He said tho task beforo tho Logislaturo was a serious one, viz: To conduct the government strong enough to repress excesses, while accepting all the bene? fits of thc liberty laws. Making concessions to the press, and granting the right of public meeting had thc effoct of preserving public or? der, and thc fact that tho recent elections re? sulted iu favor of tho government confirmed the justico aud wisdom of these concessions. The laws providing for a military organiza? tion ha.! given strength and confidence to the natiou, wnicii was now ready to meet all events of tho rotare. Tho ?rmame it of tho forces was perfect, the aiscuals were fillod with sup? plies, tho reserves wore well drilled, and tho organization of tho national guaid approached completion, Fleets had been refitted, and for? tifications ut all important po.nts were in eood condition. Tho imperial wish waa realized. France was so placed aa to vindicate her statua in the destinies ol tho world. Pi'aco has been heretofore sought not be? cause of weakness, but to sustain thu honor of thc state. Thc revolution in Spain bad not altered the good relations of Franco with that country. Ibo conference which had juat ter? minated ita sessions, and which would extin? guish a conflict which had bccjmo imminent, was tho last grund act, the importance of which all .should appreciate. The members of "that body had all agrcod on a principle calculated to restore friendship be? tween tho Turks and Greeks. If the firm hopes of success which they entertained should bo realized, nothing would bo lett to trouble the general harmony of the nations. Ibu cham? bers would attend lo the internal development of tho country mainly through its agricultural interests, and might possibly seek to bring , about a reductiou in tho public charges. The Emperor referred to tho approaching ro-clection of tho Corps fiedslatif, congratu? lated thc members on tho harmony which ex? isted between the throne, thc Legislature and , people, and declared ho favored full and froo , discussion when it did not touch the constitu? tion. That instromeut was above all debate. \ and he call u their attention to tho benefits which it had conferred upon tho country. Tho Emperor concluded as follows: "All , got crinneuts aro liable to error. Fortune de- . clines lo amilo on all enterprises. But tho ' country knows no thought, no net of mioo which has not been givm lo the glory of Franco. It knows thal I first sought to create a vigorous control of thc administration, and to cnJaruC thc powere of deliberative assemblies to provo that the true au iport of the govern- , ment is in the independence and patriotism of thc great bodies of tho State. Soon tho na? tion, in tho election, will make thc path which all must follow, and will repeat its rejection <>f revolution, and its dojirc to found tuo desti? nies of France on the intimate uuian of honor and liberty." ANOTHER Fins a SMITHVILLE, N. C.-Yester? day morning about 4 o'clock, the saloon of Mr. i Raymoi d Sellers was discovered to be on fire, ; and thc flames quickly spread to tho boat house I . of Mesara. Lehew & Daniel, destroying both ! buildings. From a rough es amate, Mr. Sel- j 1 lers' Joss ia computed at about $300, and Messrs. . Lchcw & Danid'e at about $o00. which includes i thc building, tools, and a flue suif boat. Cap? tain W. J. Potter had a boat lying near the : boat house awaiting repairs; this wo was burn? ed. Loas f 125. Mr. ?S. Gnssom had destroyed a pilot boat which was worth $150 or more. Ilia boa t was fastened so close to tho boat j houso that it fell a prey to tho fiery flames. Mr. P. Priolean lost a number of new doors, an amount ot salt, and a seiue, r.-hicu had been left in the establishment of Lehew & Daniel. No insurance existed on any of tho lost pro? perty. The lire is supposed to be the work of incendiaries, whose object was plunder. [Wilmington ?blur, 21st instant. T?JtAJfJYX UJT X-XAMITAJX.. (From the London Review.] We think it was Lamb who made a pathetic complaint against the endearments and ex? changes of married couples in his presence. In his quaint style, the humorist let out that on such occasions ho felt entirely subdued, awkward and desolate, that he also-experienced a sense of injury and as if there were an indi rect attack made upon his peace of mind. We should say that most persona of single views would feel very much as Lamb did nnder simi? lar circumstances; but there is another situa? tion, not of so pronounced a kind, in which a bachelor is often made conscious of certain social advantages possessed by the married man. Even in good circles, a visitor muy observe a constant flashing of signals between the mar? ried guests. It is perhaps needhss to remark that euch messages are confined, where there is propriety, to wives and their respective hus? bands; but, in any case, the fact of these going about, combined with the consciousness that he, of all assembled, has nothing in common with tho notions that prompt them, render the bas helor, if not for a moment unhappy, at least impelled to fall back upon *hose cynical conso? lations which have bean specially designed for celibates. H i may note that if he addresses a remark to Mrs. ?. who sits next to him, Mr. A. at tho other end of the table seems to have it conducted to him by a process of sympathy w-ich we must leave mesmerists or Ur. Homo to discover. When Mrs. A. replies, A. looks up with a glance of intelligence, although bis attention is due, and indeed is given, to the conversation of those in his in? mediate neighborhood. You must know that what yon say and what you do will be subject? ed on your departure to a dual criticism which has the dangerous advantages of being neither public nor responsible, and which, teiug the sum of two experiences, one male and one fe? male, often possesses an accuracy terrible for the subject of it to contemplate. For instance, supposing you are tbe sole bachelor at a country house A few of tho men remain up to smoke a hst cigar, having been almost au? dibly cautioned (you can either bear or see the notico) against "overstaying a short leave of | absence. Ono by one they disappear, except, perhaps, an extra polite or courageous gentleman wbo is good enouch to see you suffering from a dim senso of injury, and remains longer than the rest. At length he goes, and you are left. Noxt morning you may be perfectly certain that if you were thought worth a discussion, yon have been thoroughly weighed, measured and done for, in tuat mysterious conclave at which thero are no witnesses. If voa only study or draw out the men a little, ten to one you will get from them what th* wives think of you, and perhaps oven what they have said; for there are men with clever wives who do not object to give you a quiet prod of the bodkin thoy are proud of. But tho wives-sweet hyp? ocrites 1-conceal their opinion from most, though if you watch their faces off guard you catch a pjimpso of it. Here, without doubt, the mimed man hos a social power far beyond the isolated and "wild ass" independence of ? the bachelor. It has been settled that the wife selects her husband's frionds after mar? riage. Sho weeds them at her own tasto, and plants others more in accord with ber senti? ments. And indeed she does this constantly, to the end of the chapter; aud, as a rule, she is right in her instincts. Fer a woman in this way acts in a ci eat measure from instinct, aided by the direct knowledge which abe ex? tracts from her husband, and which has been, perhaps, imparted to him in bursts of confi? dence never intended for conveyance to ber. THE PARISIAN MAN-MILLINER. A Paris letter, dated the 21st ult., says: A scandal of the hour is tho entertainment given by Worth, the man-milliner, at his chateau in Suresnos, a village overlooking the Bois de Boulogne. It did not arise trom the msolent luxury of hio chateau. This is un? bearable to many persons. The chateau consista of five buildings, each added seemingly to the otber as the master's wealtb increased. The extensive grounds have almost as many capricious excuses for spend? ing money as Stove, the Duke of Bucking? ham's estate. Th .TO are terraces, summer? houses, bridges, p igGdas, filled with bronzes, porcelains, old armor for summer-houses or pagodas, statues and vosos for bridges and ter? races. The tables of the house ore covered with the most expensive cashmere shawls. The arms of tho choirs are covered with tho costliest laces. The scandal consists in his inviting the very same ladies invited to Compiogne, aud in their accepting his invitation. They durst not do otherwise Hod they refused he would have refused to receive their orders, and for a fashionable lady to go into society unattended by Worth would bo mortifying enough to 'drive her to suicide. I do not hint fear of his asking payment of bills had anything to do with the alacrity with which bis iuvit-tion? wero accepted. But people with retentive memories will recall tho embarrassment with which fashionable society was turo wu five or six years sin co upon the an? nouncement of Worth's retirement lrom trade, and his successor's intention tobe paid all bills or bring suit on them. Thero wero $600,000 or $800,000 duo him. Princess de Motteraich owed, so the scanda? lous chronicle said, $50,000, and ovou quiet Ptiuceaa Clotilde appeared on the books as a debtor to tho umou t of $20,000. I suspect Worth waa emboldened to this step by the success of his toa duri ute tho winier. He has in a privalo drawing room, next to tho tryiug on-room, tea served every afternoon and even? ing. He invites none to outer but tho moat aristocratie cus tornera. This is an honor eagerly soughl. At his chateau ho has boon inviting theac prin? cesses ano marchionesses to tot at lour o'clock P. M. (tim new fashion). Ho received thom wearing flexible bmta reaching to tho knee, a broad bolt around his waist, gloves with cuffs long as a dragoon's, and a flexible hat under his arm. In his vestibule wero six footmen dress? ed as Chasseurs. Ibo tea was served from Btlver urns in Sevres' porcelain cups. I be? lieve Worth is au Englishman. Ia it not odd an Englishman should bo the arbiter of | fashiou in Paris ? luisa TENANTS ANS LANDLORDS.-Ejectment notices :.re required to be served in Irelaud under the protection of a large force of the police. At a recent trial, an account was given of the extraordinary proceedings adopt? ed to remove tho tenants on tho property of Archdeacon Unison, near B.iliinasloc. An at? tempt to servo the notices having on a previ? ous occasion been restated, a body of eighty constables, under the direction of a magis? trate, repaired to tho lauds. After an ineffec? tual attempt to induco tho police to permit tho notices to be served, tho ba i iff and under agent went forward to affix them to the doora of tho tenants' houses, under protection of a number of tho police, and wore instantly as? sailed by a mob of several hundred persona, the men throning atoms and tho women tuba of filth and lime ni a liquid state. There were cries that they would ma te it another Scully iffair. Scully, it will bo recollected, was killed by a mob while endeavoring to servo notico?. 1'ho under agent and head constable were se? verely beaton. Ultimately tho notices wore nailed on tho nousea, thc whole body of police being necessary to drive the people back. Tho tenants assert that their landlord wished to change the arrangement about the let:ing, and to charge them thirty shillings au acre lor a bog they reclaimed, uud hod before held root free. _ _ .
