Pkospkate Diggings-What tne.y Loon Liiko anti How they ?re Worked. * An afternoon drive to tho mines of tho Wan? do Mining and Manufacturing Company will repay even those most familiar with Charles" ton and South Carolina in tho past and present ; but tho ti mo of the stranger, bent on gain or pleasure, could not bo moro pleasantly or pro? fitably spent. A few jolts over tho cobble stones of Moctiug-stroet and you are upon the now sholl road, tho boast of the prosont city administration. It is gonorally smooth, but it has some bolos, so that your buggy now glides liko a skiff upon the placid waters of a lake-now pirches violently like a ship in a storm at soa. With a good horse, howevor, this part of the trip is soon over; and just after you paBS tho Six Milo House, you turn off into tho old Dor? chester road, and in the three remaining miles j you traverse, through alternate sand and water, a piny swamp region^ the theatre ?of .nany of tho most remark-bio scenes ill Mir. Gilmore Simms11 popilar romances. The spring, which wai the trysting place of Eato Walton and her lover, is but a low feet from tho road, and Porgoy's portly figure, proB-" trato upon a log, advancing, serpent-like, upon a cootor, or his rubicuud visage bent in epicurean meditation upon hie hominy pot, would Bcarcoly startle you in the swamp or pino thicket. Au hour and a half is limo enough for the whole ride of nine miics, aud then you como upon what waa onoe a plantation, but is now tho "Phosphate Minos." Tho old wooden house partly in ruins, half hidden among tho branch? ing livo oaks, with its startling repairs of un? painted boards, is a fit bu! rude awakener from tho dreams of tho past to tho action of tho present. This is the headquarters of thc "mines." Hero resides Mr. Burns, the super? intendent of the diggings, and here, on Satur? day evening, the treasurer oalls tho pay roll and settles with tho hands. Tho minors are all negroes, and it is somewhat amusing to no? tice tho promptitude with which jet black fol? lows, with kinky heads and ivory teeth, and clothes befitting their condition, answer to tho names ol' Wm. Middleton, Boll Pringle, Henry PiBokney, Thomas Lowndes, ?bc, &c. Pom? pey, Sambo, Cuff ie or January, would seem far more appropriate. The mines proper aro several hundred yards from tho house, and consist of a series of ditol es, from three to six feet deep, across an old ri 'e field of an area of oigh t acres, and ly? ing directly upon the banks of tho Ashley Blvdr. Here nsarly one hundred men may he seen busily employed with picks digging out from tho sides of tho ditches lumps of phos? phate rock, varying in size from a pigeon's egg to a half bushol, the averago size being about that of half a brick, or a little larger. In wet weather, and after heavy rains, tho ditches fill rapidly with water, which is baled out by shovels or let "off by narrow cuts, the work never being interrupted by that means. The rocks are thrown up on the top of the ground and aro taken by wheelbarrows to the drying ground near the river, where they are scatter? ed out and 1 ift to be cleansed and dried by the sun and rain. Several hundred tons may be seen lying there at one time. When, the rocks hav.; become sufficiently olean and dry, they are gathered into a pde near the wharf, and thence loaded into tho vessels of the company, which carry thom either to the mills at the foot of Hasel-street, or to the Northern ports to fill orders-this phosphate rock supplying the material for much of the fancy manures which our farmers, as well as those of the North, buy at very high prioes. The field of eight acres, winch has not been quite exhausted, has already supplied about six thousand tons of phosphate rock. The company own hundrods of acres contiguous to this field equally as rich ' in phosphate, and containing enough to supply the demand for years to como. Tho enterprise is yet in its infancy, and the daily production is nothing to what it will be when the company have put up tho washing machines and built tho rail? road which they now have in contemplation. Tho percentage of phosphate in tho rook varies from forty to ninety per cont., tho aver? age being about fifty per cont. The rook is, therefore, not quite as rich as that found in somo other diggings, but, owing to its larger size and the shallow depth at which it is found, is fully as profitable if not more so. The company owning its own diggings, ves. sels and mills, and boing managed by thor? ough practical bu mioss men and ma ?h mist a, is sure of success, and will probably, at no dis? tant, dato, be ono of tho wealthiest corporations in the State. FROM THE STA.TJS CAJPITA.I,. A Good Word tor Abbeville-High Jinks In Colombia-Tke Bank of tko State Case-Tke Charleston Election-Legis? lative Proceedings. [FROM OUH OWN CORRESPONDENT, ] COLOMBIA, January 20.-The reception of the Attorney-General, D. H. Chamberlain, Esq., by the citizens of Abbeville, open his recent visit to that place, has elicited from that gentleman the wannest expressions of surprise and thanks. He waa not only treated with the greatest civility, but was rec9lved with that kindness and hospitality which have always character? ized South Carolinians. He reports that there is a very general desire to see the laws enforced that peace and order may be preserved; also that there is great harmony in the relations which exist b ?tweon the white people and the freedmen. Mr. Chamberlain is satisfied that the community is one of the most peaceable and law-abiding in the State, and that the bad reputation which has attached to the. distriot is only due to the viciousness of some eight or ton recognized outlaws. Judge Vernon, who was holding court at Ab? beville, is reported to have given the highest satisfaction to the members of the bar and tao people generally. An entertainment was given at Niokerson's, this evening, by State Auditor, Mr. Benbsn Tomlinson, at which quite a number of offi? cials, senators and representatives, and others were present. An entertainment waa also giv? en by Senator Leslie, to a largo number of friends, in honor of the election of the Hon. Bonbon Fenton as United States Senator from New York. The speech of Mr. Leslie on the occasion was highly complimentary to tho sen? ator elect, whom he ?aid he had the gratifica? tion of calling an intimate personal friend, and who, he felt assured, would be a warta friend to the South. The deat h of Hon. James A. Black itv deeply regretted by all classed. He waa regarded aa a Conservative, ?nd as a mediator would have been, had he lived, one of the moat useful members of the Legislature. The arguments in the Supreme Court on the Baale of tho State oase were concluded to-day. Attorney-General Chamberlain followed Mr. Campbell, and closed on tho part of tho State, lt is impracticable to do justiooin a ay nop. ?eal report to the elaborate arguments of counsel. Mere points would not satisfy the legal fiator ty and the general reader, not familiar with tho case, would scarcely appreciate the logical compactness and research shown in the dis? cussion. Tho decision of the court will proba? bly not bo made known until tho tenth or fifth t cent h of ne.vt month. The mandamus in the caso of tbey >City of Charleston Will bo up again to -morrow, when a motion will be made to havo tho return of the Board of Aldermen corrootod. IN THE SENATE, to-day.

C., waa read a third time, pawaod, and sent to tho House of ?ftepro?ontatives. A bill io amend an act entitled "An act to fix tho salary and regulate tho pay of certain officers," was read a third time and passed. Tho above bill inoreasos the salary of tho Governor's private secrotary to t wo thousand dollars per annum, and fixes the salary of tho State Auditor at cwontv-five uuudre l dollars. The Bpecial ordor, which was a bill to en? able tho Savannah and Charleston Railroad Company to complete their road, was dis? charged, and made the special order for 1.30 P. M. to-morrow. A lougthy discussion took place on tho favorable re? ort of tho Committee ou Claims, on tho account of Joseph Walker, for binding books, &o., for tho Soncte in 1866. The ropoit was finally, on motion of Mr. Loslie, recom? mitted. Tho bill from the HOUBO empowering tho At? torney-General to change the venue in State cases was referred to tho Committee on tho Judiciary. A bill providing a lien on buildings, &c, to parties furnishing labor thereon was recom? mitted to tho Committee on the Judiciary, with instructions to incorporate a section rela? tive lo maritime lien. A bill to incorporate the Mignon Presbyterian Church of Charleston, S. C., received its se? cond reading, waa a v>.Gd to, and ordered to bo engross' d AGI- a third reading. IN THE HOUSE, tho bill to incorporate tho Vaucluse Manufacturing Company waB read a second time, amended so as to give tho com? pany the privilege of increasing their subscrip? tion to a capital of six hundred thousand dol? lars, and sundry minor amendments, tho bill was agreed to and ordered to te ongrosaed for a third reading.

Compensation to Southern Officeholders I who could not Swallow the Iron-clad Oath-The Port it oyal Matlroad-The New Scheme Car a Subsidy from Con? gress-The Sae Murphy Caso, ?fcc. [FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] WASHINGTON, January 18.-Kineo the recess there have been but two measures introduced, which are likely to be of any immediato im? portance to the readers of THE NEWS. The first ot those ?3 thc biU providing fir tlic com? pensation of Southern men who rendered ser? vices in good faith, while holding civil posi? tions for a few months after the dose of the war, but who subsequently relinquished their places rather than qualify in the required form, by taking the oath commonly known as the the "iron-clad." The bill for the relief of this large class of persons, was introduced into the Senate by Mr. Sawyer, and is as follows : A BILL AUTHORIZING PAYMENT TO BE MADE FOB CERTAIN SERVICES RENDERED TO THE UNITED I STATES IN THE LATE INSURRECTIONARY STATIS. ' Be il enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of Amer? ica in Congress assembled, That the heads of the several executive departments bo, and they are hereby authorized to allow, and there shall be paid from any proper appropriation, to effie-u-H and employees of the United States, who failed to take the oath prescribed by the act approved July second, eighteen hundred and eixtv-two, such sum or sums of money as may be fouud due to them, respectively, by tho accounting officers of the Treasury Department, for tho tervioos heretofore actually rendered, at the rates proscribed by law or tho regula? tions of the proper department : Provided, That before any such compensation shall be allowed or poid, it shall be made to appear that said oath was duly taken after the rendi? tion of such services, or the person claiming the same shall subscribe and take before some competent officer, and file, with the account, the oath or affirmation prescribed by the act requiring an oath of allegiance and to support tha Constitution of the United States, approved August six, eighteen hundred and sixty-one; aud if any person entitled to compensation under this aot shall have died before the pas sago thereof, snob oath or uifirm ttion may bo waived. The measure is so clearly equitable that there is little doubt that it will speedily pass both houses. The amount involved is not largo; but as the class of persons who would be benefitted by such an aot are generally in needy circumstances, they would welcome the payment of what is justly due them from the government. THE POET BOYAL RAILROAD. Another bill that will be watched with inter? est by Charleston readers, is that granting aid to tho Port Royal Railroad Company. The friends of this measure have been very active? ly at work here, and have at length got the soheme reported from the Committee on Pub? lic Lands in an amended shape, which, it is claimed, will satisfy tiioso who havo hitherto opposed it.

THE SUE MUBFHY OASE N is engrossing a doal of public attontion just ii ow, for the reason that it has come to bo re garded as a test caso upon the decision of which will depond, In sroat measure, tho pros ocution of a very largo number of analogous claims. Tho question upon which tho case hinges is simply whether a resident of Confed? erate territory, which had been conquered and occupied by tho United Sf ales forces, is to be regarded in all cases as'having boen a public onomv, liable to have his property seized and used without compensation. Tho lawyers upon tho floor of the Senato havo gouorally support? ed this view; but the injustice of tho 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 be tho first set Bpoech dolivored by a senator or represen? tative from the South since tho readmission of oui' State to representation, and as such, they were heard with nicrKod attontion. R. ?RAHICAJJ CORRUPTION. The Washington correspondent of tho New York Herald, under dato of tho 18th instant, says : The first fissure in the disentogration of the Radical party was displayed to-day, in the wild writhings of the Pacific Railroad rings over tho oxposuros ot a Cincinnati Ridtcal paper ot the concodod corruption in and out of Congrest, in regard to the granting of subsidies to West? ern roads, and in regard to tho attempted sale of lands enough to form whole States by tho Interior Department, to certain speculators for a moro song. These swindles have buen tho object of General Grant's denunciation within and f jr tho wholo of a month past. They re? ceived attention in Mr. Washhurno's speech in the House, when he admitted that Iiis party exceed :d in corruption and scoundrels any other party ever born. Theso statements, for? tified by proofs, a Western correspondent re? produced in the paper in question. That corres? pondent and paper, and the New York tribune, which copied his lotter, wore made tho victims to-day ovor whoso shoulders General Grant and Mi'. Washburn? w?re lashed in the most abu? sivo and violent manner by the retained sena? tors of the railroad lings beforo mentioned. It was an exhibition which shocked and startled the many Republican leaders who have sought to give a pause to th? rank corruption charac? terizing their party on railroad legislation. For more than two hours did Harlan, Pomeroy and Counosa unblushingly defend these railroad grants and land sales which the President elect has declared will, if continued, ruin the Repub? lican party. Under the pretext of assailing newspapers which have but sympathized with Grant's desire to atop thia torrent of corruption, theso senators foully assailed that representa? tion ot the facts for which Grant has made himself responsible to theco?ntry. The assault on the papers was only a cover behind which were gathered all tho force of the consolidated rings against the purposes of tho President elect. In vain did Trumbull, ConkUng, and Morton, and other senators try to silence the feud by interruptions of other measures. The railroad senators had- their say oat; defended the swindles of the past and quoted them as i? k!^.*f-i?Jta of tim ..MJ't?. %nA as. -t h'> MSttuwllfch woald nark its future. Pomeroy says there are twelve more railroad bills, filled to the brim with subsidies, which are to be reported and passed this session. These subsidies tho best men in the party are bent on defeating for the party's salvation sake. To day the gauntlet was thrown ' down by the railroad Congress? men, that no railroad grants should ba defeat? ed, bat all should bo added on to the divisions which impeachment, civil tenure, negro suf? frage, financial affairs and whiskey thieving are participating within the party. THE JEM FERO M'S SPEECH. Tho session of the French Senato and Corps L?gislatif was opened on tho 18th instant by the. Emperor Napoleon in person, with a speech from the throne. He said tho task before the Legislature was a serious one, viz: To conduct the government strong enough to repress excesses, while accepting all the bene? fits of the liberty laws. Making concessions fco the press, and granting the right of publio meeting had tho effect of preserving public or? der, and thc fact that tho recent elections re salted in favor of the government confirmed the justico and wisdom of these concessions. The laws providing for a military organiza? tion had given strength and confidence to the nation, wnioh was now ready to meet all events of the future. Tho armament of tho forces was perfect, the ai sen a ls were filled with sup? plies, the reserves were well drilled, and the organization of tho national guaid approached completion. Fleets had been refitted, and for? tifications at all important points were in good condition. The imperial wish was realized. France was so placed as to vindicate her status in the destinies of the world. Peace has been heretofore sought not be? cause of weakness, but to sustain the honor of the Mate. The revolution in Spain hau not nimrod the good relations of France with that country. Ino conference which had just ter? minated its sessions, and whioh would extin? guish a confliot which had become imminent, was tho last grand act, the importance of whioh all should appreciate. The members of that body had all agreed on a principie calculated to restore friendship be? tween the Turks and Greeks. If the firm hopes of success whioh t'ioy entertained should be realized, nothing would be left to trouble the Eonoral harmony of the nations. The cham? ers would attend to tb? internal development of the country mainly through its agricultural interests, and might possibly seek to bring about a reduction in the public charges. . The Emperor referred to the approaching re-election of the Corps L?gislatif, congratu? lated tho members on the harmony whioh ex? isted between the throne, the Legislature and people, aod declared ho favored fall and free discussion when it did not touch the constitu? tion, That instrument was abovo all debate, and be calka their attention to the benefits which it had conferred upon tho country. The Emperor concluded as follows: "All governments are liable to error. Fortune de- 1 clines to sm do on all enterprises. Bat the country knows no thought, no act of mine whioh has not been givm to the glory of Franco. It knows that I first sought to or?ate a vigorous control of tho administration, and Lo enlarge thc powers of deliberative assemblies to provo that tho true support of the govern? ment is tn the independence and patriotism of the great bodies of the State. Soon the na? tion, in the election, will make tho path which all mast follow, and will repeat its rejection of revolution, and its dejiro to found ene desu? nios of France on tho intimate uni JU of honor and liberty." _ AHOTHEB Fia? vu SMITHVILLE, N.

[From ?he Loudon Review. | We think it was Lamb who mado a pathetic complaint against tho endearments and ex? changes of married couples in hie presence. In his quaint style, tho humorist let out that on such occasions ho felt entirely subdued, awkward and desolate, that he also experienced a sonso of injury and as if there were an indi? rect attack made upon his peace of mind. Wo should say that most perBons of single views would feel very muoh as Lamb did under simi? lar circumstances; but thoro is another situa? tion, not of so pronounced a kind, in which a bachelor is often made conscious of certain social advantaged possessed by tho married man. Even in good circles, a visitor may observe a constant flashing of signals between tho mar? ried guests. It is perhaps aoedi38S to remark that such messages are condned: where thoro is propriety, to wives and their respectivo hus? bands; but, in any case, the fact c f these going about, combined witk the co'isciousuess that he, of all assembled, has nocking in common witk tho notions that prompt thom, ronder the bachelor, if not for a moment unhappy, at least impelled to fall back upon ^IIOBC cynical conso? lations which have been specially dosigued for celibatos. H s may noto that if ko addresses a remark to Mrs. A. who sils next to him, Mr. A. at tho other end of tho table seems to have it conducted to him by a process of sympathy w..ich we must leave mesmerists or Mr. Home to discover. When Mrs. A. replies, A. looks up with a glance of intelligence, although his attention is duo, and indeed is given, to the conversation of thoto in his im mediato neighborhood. You must know that what you say and what you do will bo subject? ed on your doporluro to a dual criticism which has the dangerous advantages of being neither public nor responsible, and which, boiug tho sum of two experioacos, ono malo and one fe? male, otten possesses dn accuracy terrible for the subject of it to contemplate. For instance, supposing you ire the solo bacholor ata country house. A 'ow of tho men romain up to smoke a last cigar, having been almost au? dibly cautioned (you can either hear or seo the notice) against overstaying a short leavo of absence. One by one they disappear, oxoept, perhaps, an extra, polite or courageous gentleman who .is good enough to see you suffering from a dim sense of injury, and remains longer than tho rest. At length ho goes, and you aro left. Next morning you may bo perfectly certain that if you wero thought worth a discussion, you have been thoroughly weighed, measured and done for, in that mysterious conclave at whieh there aro no witnesses. If yon only study or draw out tho men a little, ten to one you will get from them what the wives think of you, aud perhaps ovon what they have said; for there are men with clover wives who do not object to give you a quiet prod of the bodkin thoy are proud of. But the wives-sweet hyp? ocrites I-conceal their opinion from most, though if you watch their faces off gaar? you catch a glimpse of it. Here, without doubt, the married man has a social power far beyond the isolated and "wild ass" independence of the bachelor. It has been settled that tho wife selects her husband's friends after mar? riage. She weeds thom at her own taste, and plants others mere in accord with her senti? ments. And indeed she dees this constantly, to the end of the chapter: and, as a rule, she is right in her instinots. Fer a woman in this way acts in a great mensuro from instinct, aided by the direot knowledge which she ex? tracts from ker husband, and wkieh has been, perhaps, imparted to him in bursts of confi? dence never intended for conveyance to her. TMJE 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 Bur?anos, a village overlooking the Bois de Boulogne It did not arise from the insolont luxury of hio chateau. This is un? bearable to many persons. asista of Ave buildings, each to ?no other'aa ;?.,-.,.au;o. o The extensive grounds have almost as many capricious excuses for spend? ing money as Sib .vu, the Duke of Bucking? ham's estate. There are terraces, su minor houses, bridges, pagodas, filled with bronzes, porcelains, old armor for summer-houses or pagodas, statues and vases for bridges and tor races. The tables'of thc house are covered with the most expensive cashmore shawls. Tho arms of the chairs are oovered with tho costliest laces. Tko scandal consista in his inviting the yery same ladies invited to Compicgne, and 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 be 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 his invitations were accepted. Bat' people with retentive memories will recall the embarrassment with which fashionable society was throw n five or six years sin co upsn the an? nouncement of Worth's retirement from trade, and his successor's intention to be paid all bills or bring snit on them. There were $600,000or $800,000 due him. i Princess do Metternich owed, so the scanda? lous chronicle said, $30,000, and even quiet Princess Clotilde appeared on tho books as a debtor to the amou >t of $20.000. I suspect Worth was emboldened to this stop by the success of his tea daring tho winier. He has in a private drawing room, next to the crying on-room, toa served every afternoon and even? ing. Me invites none to onter but tho most aristocratic customers. This is an honor eagerly sought. At his chateau ho has boen inviting theso prin? cesses and marchionesses to tea ac tour o'clock P. If. (the new fashion). He reeoived them wearing flexible boots reaching to tho knee, a broad belt around his waist, gloves with cuffs long as a dragoon's, and a flexible hat uudor his arm. In his vestibule were six footmen dress? ed as Chasseurs. The tea was served from silver urns in Sevres* porcelain cups. I be? lieve Worth is an Englishman. Is it not odd an Englishman should he tho . arbiter of fashion in Paris ? IRISH TENANTS AN? LANDLOBDS.-?Ejectment notioes are required to be served in Ireland under the protection of a large force of the police. At a recent trial, an account wis given of the extraordinary proceedings adopt? ed to remove the tenants on the property of Archdeacon Butson, near Ballinasloe. Au at? tempt to servo the notices having on a previ? ous occasion been resisted, a body of eighty constables, under the direction of a magis? trate, repaired to the lauds. After an ineffec? tual attempt to induce the police to permit the notices to be served, the baliff and under agent went forward to affix them to tho doors of the tenants' houses, ander protection of a number of the police, and were instantly as? sailed by a mob of several hundred persons, tho mon throwing stones and tho women tubs of filth and limo in a liquid state. There were , cries that they would ma ko it another Scully affair. Scully, it will be recollected, was killed by a mob while endeavoring to serve notices. The ander agent and head constable were se? verely beaten. Ultimately the notices were nailed on the houses, the wholo body of police being necessary to drive the people back. The tenants assert that their landlord wished to change the arrangement about tho letting, and to charge them thirty shillings an acre for a bog they reclaimed, and had before bold rent free. ANOTHER Move OF THE CENTRAL RAILBOAD MONOPOLY.-William B. Hodgson, John C. Jones, and others, have applied to Jadge Cole, of tho Macon Circuit, for an injonction against the .Macon and Brunswiok Railroad Company and Dabney, Morgan A Co., of Nev? York, to restrain the latter from the further prosecution of the work on the road from Macon to Bruns? wick.
