EASTER DAT. HO W THE EEST1 VAL WAS CELE? BRATED IX THE CU CRCHES. Tlir. CONGREGATIONS, THE SERVICES AND TUE DECORATIONS. Sketches of thc Sermons of tito Doy. Thc glad festival of Easter, yesterday, was marked l?y somewhat variable weather, bur, up io church-time lu thc forenoon, the attn shone as brightly as could be wished, and the pealing or the bells summoned forth throngs of worshippers, the ladies for Use most part decked in their gay spring toilettes, and giving a very lively appear? ance to the crowded streets. At all the churches, large congregations were present, and at most or them the services were of a peculiarly impressive ami solemn character. St. Paul's Church Kyi .copal. Thc great size of St. Paul's Church makes it a work of some difficult; to decorate it thoroughly, and the drossini" w*? therefore chiefly confined to the adornment of Hie spacious chane-1, which iras effected with mnch taste. The altar, pulpit and choir's gallery were profusely decorated with cros.-es, and wreaths ol dowers and evergreens. In front cr the altar was a beautiful stand of lilies and evergreens. St. Paul's is at present without any regular rector, but the East* r ser? vices were conducted by the Rev. James Vf. Miles, assisted bj the Rev. J. Barnwell Campbell. The former distinguished divine pt cached a remarka? ble sermon from thc te.vt, Isaiah ?.?iii. i: "Who la this that cometh from Edoni, with dyed garments from I'ozrah? this that is glorious in Ills apparel, travelling in Iiis strength ! I that spca!; lu right? eousness, mighty to save.'" The reverend speaker drew a vivid description of the Saviour, as repre? sented In the vision of the prophet Isaiah, coming as the resistless conqueror of sin, death and hell. Isaiah is regarded as the watchman upon the tower, whose attention is arrested and lils wonder excited by the rapid approach of a most couspieuous figure. As it (irawa near? er, His dimensions and appearance aro that of resistless might, aud His features are ra? diant with the glory of triumph and victory. The prophet does not neglect his duty as a senti? nel, but challenges this extraordinary and glo? ri?os figure In the question of the text, and re? ceives for answer, "I that speak in righteousness mighty to save.'' The speaker theu described the final contest waged by the Saviour with that ter j rible foe of mankind-sin-and its offspring j death-and their fall before the conquering Re? deemer. In this contest thc Saviour is repre? sented as the champion of the sinner, before whom death and hell fall dlscomfltted; and for this He demands nothing. The love of Christ, His greatness. His wisdom, His goodness, Mis su? pernatural powers, His compassion, overwhelm with wonder, admiration and affection, and ira. press us with the conviction that the Divinity lives in Him. There ls an unearthly grandeur about Him which ls the more striking from ike very simplicity and poverty of His life. If they had not then already sought thc Saviour, let this conviction call them to repentance. The sermon throughout was marked by a singular splendor or diction and dramatic power; and the concluding sentences of thc discourse, in which Its impres? sive teachings were applied to the practical les? sons or the Easter season, were in a strain or thc most earnest and persuasive eloquence. St. Michael's Church (Episcopal.) In the decorations or St. Michael's Church, even more than the usual taste and skill was evinced. Never befare has thc church been more elaborate? ly and appropriately dressed. The galleries were huDg with long and graccfal faatoons or cedar, and every pillar was twined with wreaths or cedar mingled with lovely and fragrant dowers. From the font at the door to the cross above the altar, which was or moss, drooped with hot? house flowers, every salient point had Its appro? priate adornment. The large chandelier, which hangs from the middle of thc celtinjr, was draped with leaves and moss and flowers, like a huge ' monument o' spring. The rugged outlines or ' thc antique pulpit were almost veiled and hidden ' by the profusion of Its verdant covering. The sounding board above lt was one mass of diversi? fied foliage, crowned by a gorgeous bouquet or natural flowers. The same care was shown In the decoration or the chancel, and thc effect to an observer standing in the nave or the church was very bcautlfol and striking. The services were conducted by the rector, thc Rev. R. s. Trapler, (who preached rrom St. John, xx, 9.) and concluded with the administration or thc Holy Communion. The music ?vas welt selected and Impressive. Grace Clinrch |*Q]>Ucopal.) Grace Church was dressed with very elaborate and tasterui festoons or green cedar covering the walls, and hanging rrom the upper tier of win? dows In double curves, harmonizing well with 1 the gothic style of thc church. From each arch 1 was swung a basket or lovely flowers. The : chancel was dressed with ivy, and the font tilled with magnificent white azaleas; but the chrf 1 d'oeuvre of Ihe decorations was a group of lilies or the Nile, in jars, placed within the chancel, and forming a background for thc cross, which was raised in a mound or flowers. None but '.?ic choicest and rarest natural flowers were used in thc decoration, presenting to tho eye the most gorgeous contrasts. The congi egatlon was a very large one. and the sermon was preached by the rector, Rev. C. C. Pincknoy, from thc text, Thil. 111,10: "That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection." St. Philip's (Episcopal.) There was a large attendauce at this church in the forenoon, where the service was read by the rector, thc Rev. W. B. W. Howe, who, however, being indisposed, was unable to preach the usual discourse. The church was very tastefully deco rated, some of thc wreaths and crosses construct? ed or evergreens and flowers, showing much skill. At the centre or the inner porch a large cross or evergreens on a pedestal ol the same, was particularly noticed. Thc altar and galleries were richly adorned with floral ornaments, ac? companied by appropriate scriptural extracts. Church of the Holy Communion (Episcopal.) This church was beautlmlly decorated with flowers and evergreens. Over the altar was u large cross or evergreens, with a white ground, a::d around the pillars garlands, bearing mottoes, were gracefully twined. At thc morning service t he rector, Rev. A. Toomcr Porter, preached an elo? quent and instructive discourse from thc following text: "But everyman iu his own order. Christ thc first fruits: afterward they that are Christ's at His coming.*' 1st Corinthians, lith chapter, 2Sd verse. Hugneaot Church. Tills church was tastefully an?! elegantly orna? mented with evergreen and sowers, worked into rant as tte shapes by the hands or thc ladies of thc congregation, the chancol being a mass of gar? lands and wreaths of natural flowers. Conspicu? ously placed above the altar, lu letters formed of arborvitae, waa thc Hebrew word "llabboni" (meaning "Master,") which wor<l was used by Mary to Jesus wben he first arose from the dead and made himself known to her. The text of thc sermon by the pastor, the Rev. C. S. Vcdder, was taken from Romans viii, 34: "Yea, rather, that is risen again." Combatting the views of those who > had rejected thc belief of a resurrection rrom the dead, rrom ancient times down to the present agc, he poiuted out wherein they conflicted with each other. He argued that a mere legend needs time to grow, while the resurrection or Christ was acknowledged and believed by hundreds at the time lt ocenrred. The sermon was listened to with marked attention. Tuc music on the occasion was unusually good. Cathedral (Cuthollc) A very full congregation was lu attendance at the Cathedral Chapel, at service In the forenoon.. Solemn High Mas3 was celebrated by the vicar general, the Very Rev. Dr. Berming? ham. Mozart's Twelfth Mass was snug by thc excellent choir, with, selections from Farmer's Mass, and a strong orchestral ac? companiment rendered the music unusually line. The sormon was preached from inc gospel ot thc day by the Rev. Mr. Qulgiey, on the joyous character or the great eveut, the commemoration of which marks the dos J of the penitential season. St. Mary's Church (Catholic.) Tlie pastor, Rev. Mr. Northrop, preached l the text, "This is thc day that the Lord has lu Let us be glad and rejoice therein." Suoi thc difference between the entry into Jerusa commemorated by the Church on Palm Sun and thc glorious Resurrection commemorate Easter ?ay, the preacher gave n glowing des? Hon of the mingled hope and anxiety with w the souls of the Just, dead before Christ, awa His coming. In the name of the Church, through the Communion of Saints, he elaimt place for hts purified hearers in the noble arm the Saints, exhorting all the faithful to have < fldence in thc mercy and goodness of Chris which His resurrection ivas an abiding ple< He alluded to him who tilled thc pulpit at Mary's a year ago, and who awakened in? huming eloquence the dcvotlon of his congre lion; and who was now, it was confidently hoi one of thc band of Saints who hymned ctet praises before the Jasper throne of God. The tars of St. Mary's were prettily and chas adorned with lights and natural flowers, lard's Mass was sung by the choir, the sw notes of the tenor making themselves plcasat conspicuous. St. Patrick's Church (Catholic.) The Rev. Ur. Moore, who preached at High Mi chose thc following as his text: "Ile ls risen; is not here," (Mark, xvi chapter, 8 verse.) ' reverend divine, after speaking of the festl which was then being celebrated In triumph ; joy th oughout thc Christrian world, descril the death and resurrection of the Saviour, plaining that the Hie which the Saviour assun after the death was divine and Immortal; body which His soul r?assumes and animates thc power of his Divinity, ls not a body subjeel Infirmity and death, but is a body glorious a impassable. He rises to die no more; death st have no more domin.on over Him. In conclus! thc speaker appealed to his hearers to knov they had died unto sin, and were risen and liv] unto God; if so, to-day wai one of triumph them as well as to the Saviour. Thc music v especially fine, tho military post band accom; nyiug throughout the mass. In beauty of deco Hons, St. Patrick's Church yielded to none, 1 profusion or flowers being almost bewildering. St. Peter's Church (Catholic.) At High Mass yesterday, the celebrant, thc R Mr. Folchi, preached rrom the text, "This 1B t day which tho Lord has made. Let ns bc gi and rejoice therein." He explained that If would partake lu thc spiritual Joy, wc must w: In newness of life, illustrating t-he-o positions the gospel and epistle of the day. In concludl lils discourse, he exhorted the congregation to : ceive the solemn blessitig given to-day, "Ad I bern cl Orbem,'1 by the Holy Pontiff, at St. reter at Rome, of which Impressive ceremony t reverend gentleman gave a glowing desorlptlc The church, as wc have already had occas! to say, was decorated with great richness, and excellent taste. It will be opeu to day and l morrow. St. John's (Lutheran) Church. This church was most elaborately decorati yesterday. Pendant from each gas brack swung a small basket filled with howers of riche and rarest hue. Thc altar, rails, pulpit stairs ar pillars presented a beautiful spectacle, profuse but tastily decorated with wreaths of evergret and flowers. In front of the pulpit stand, in le tors of evergreen, was the simple, yet appropt ate word, -'Alleluia." In the window in rear 1 thc pulpit wai a lurga cross or overgrccn; at tl centre of the window arch was a largo star; abo\ this the sentence, ".Vow is Christ Jilsen.'" an above this a crown, all made of evergreen. Til services commenced at half-past io o'clock. Arte ilnglng and prayer, Rev. W. \T. Hicks, tb assistant pastor, read the morning lesson, loun in the 16th chapter of St. Mark. The text select cd by Mr. Hicks was the 3Uh verse or the St chapter of Romans: "Who is he that condenar etti* It is Christ that died; yea, rather, that I risen again, who U even at the right hand of God who also raaketh intercession for us." lilburn lng words the divine depicted tho sufferings 0 our Saviour, His crucifixion and resurrection and then Impressed upon blt bearers thc lessoi lt taught, how they too must suffer, be craciflci o tue world, before they could risc agali ind enter lnro the rest and Joy prepared for al ivho serve the Lord. At the close of the sermon the rite of confirmation was administered ti twelve persons. Thc venerable pastor, Dr. Dach man, was present, and assisted at this ceremony Wentworth Street Lutheran; Church, The pastor of this church, Rev. Mr. W. S. Bow man, preached an Impressive sermon to quite t large audience yesterday, from the text : "And the angel answered and said unto the woman, rear not ye, for I know that ye seek Jesus, willett was crucified. He is not here, Tor He Is risen, a? Hcsaid. Come seo the place where thc Lord lay.' Matthew, ?ith chapter, seth verse. Arter a briol vindication of the grand assertion in the text '.He is risen, as He said," which was sustained hy the testimony of history, the testimony of In? spiration and tho testimony or angels, the rever? end speaker pursued as hl-i theme the evidence und signs of thc presence of a risen Redeemer In thc world; those who sought Him in the same spirit that actuated thc woman spoken of in thc text would find- Ulm. Eight persons were ad milted to the c'turcU by confirmation, and four by certificates from other churches. A vory largo number of pers ns united in Hie celebration ol the Lord's Supper. German Evangelical Church. TheGerman Evangelical Church. Rev. L. Muller, pastor, at thc corner of Uascl and Anson streets, was very tastefully adorned yesterday, and services appropriate to tho day were con? ducted by the pastor. Citatfcl Square Church (Baptist.) This beautiful and magnificent structure, thc pride ortho Baptist denomination and an orna? ment of our city, situate Immediately opposite the Citadel Square, In Meeting street, was tilled by a large and attentive congregation, Including some of thc most prominent of our citizens. Their devotion to thc interests or religion is ex? emplified by thc cheeriness which they respond to every demand upon them, for thc advance? ment and benefit of this their church, or the more munificent works of their denomination. The ser? vices commenced by an organ voluntary by Pro lessor Aichel, and the singing of the list h Psalm, n? a quartette, lcd by Mr. W. B. Burden. Thc morn? ing services were as follows: Invocation by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Wlnklcr; reading of the Scriptures; singing of thc 92d hymn, commencing "To Thy Temple we Repair." Arter this the Rev. Dr. Wlnklcr took his text from Gal. 1, 4. The subject was deliverance from the prosentcvll world. The pastor remarked thal thc world, In the sense in which thc text employed it, is an element fntnl to the spiritual life; and that the Christian can no more conform to it than he cnn to thc life of fishes or of eagles. He added that conformity to il is a condition so deplorable as to claim thc pity or Heaven, and thc sacrifice of the Son or God. Ho dwelt upon thc nature and thc importance of the deliverance effected by Jesus Christ. The man who esteems thc world as his chief end ls In bondage, though he may cheerfully wear his chains: and he can urge neither the plea of in? nocence nor the thc argument <>r necessity wheu he puts thc creature In Cod's place and makes an immortal spirit subservient to dust. But Christi? anity justifies and ennobles the present lire; re? fines thc character or its possessor, and prepares thc believer for a world or light. The preacher urged that thc seculur cares of Hie, and thc scruples which disturb religious persons in regard to business or pleasure, were God's concern even In eternity. They had a most important relation to the Saviour's mission. He asserted that human virtues arc empty, and that life's blcssiugs arc treacherous and transi? tory when separated from religion. But the at? tainments of Hie consistent Christian prove him to be the noblest, the wisest, and thc happiest ol men. His peroration we give entire and com? mend Its Christian liberality, Us lofty sentiments, its pure and unadulterated teachings to thc at? tention and guidance of all denominations ol Christians : "To-day many Christian congrega? tions arc celebrating the festival of Easter. Wc do not observe lt, for, in our judgment, thc Gospel makes every Sabbath the Lord's day-a day sealed by His name, and especially commemorat? ing His resurrection. But wc have no quarrel with our brethren who set one of these days apart for a special service or commemoration, and adorn their churches with fio al gifts and leaves of evergreen. We would li?ve every tl honor that exalted Saviour by whom, and whom, all things were made. Wc would r ihe flowers and ihe fruits, and thc valleys and hills, and the cataracts and the mountains, thesuninhls brightness, and the moon in beauty, and the stars In every constell?t praise the Lord. But dearer than the homag every season, and every element, is praise of man. Sweeter than all the 1 i?h gifts or May, aro the flowers of gr* the rruit3 of piety, thc adornments of a Cht like temper, which believing congregations u twine to-day around the altars or public worst as, thrilling with devotion to a risen and pres Saviour, they celebrate the Easter or the RC The lire or that world-rejected, tnumphi Saviour, I would commend to every one or ? a3 your motive, your example and your consc tinn. 0, ye pilgrims, wandering upon sad a lonely ways, like the disciples or Emmaus would point you to one who walks at your si and bid you regard Ulm until your hearts bu within you I 0, tender mourner beside I sepulchre where your heart and hope lie dei I bid you look at one who draws near, who ben in silence over you!

And thus prepnre f the Easter or eternity, when with no peri?:;ii blooms or the spring time, but with ctuwns glory and palms or triumph ye shall adorn yo Saviour's throne." Unitarian Church. The Unitarian Church was adorned for ll rcstlval with much taste. A memorial discour was delivered by the pastor, the Rev. Br. Cutlc al the morning service, ou (he lato Rev. Charl J. Bowen. The same divine preached the East sermon In the evening from I Corinthians, xv, 1 Easter, ho said, as a Christian restlvity, commer orates thc resurrection or Christ from thc dead,at at an early period took the place of heathen rit once celebrated In honor or the renewal or natu In spring-time. The fact of Christ's resurrectlc is fundamental. It lies at the basis of Christian ty as an organized religion. It ls one of tl prlmoval convictions upon which the Church wt built. After the crucifixion it became thc rall, ing fact, which reassured tho despondent disc pies and filled them with new hopes and zeal ac courage, lt was preached everywhere by tl first messengers of the'Cosmel, and held forth i an elemental point In the Christian faith. Thou?? most wonderful event, lt ls not incredible, when n take it In all its sublime connections. We cann< eliminate the miraculous clement from the Nc Testament without destroying the record. Af? the great and wonderful lire or Jesus, raith In hi resurrection becomes easy and natural. His lil was the great wonder In that age, an among the people or Ills own nation. The ream rectum revived the oaase or the Christian kiuj dom which seemed smitten down, by th effect or the crucifixion ou thc minds of the dm followers, and lt opens to the eye or faith a lil beyond the grave, and shows an nubrokci connection between that world and this Wc must rise with Christ from the grave c sense and sin, and so find our way, at last, purl fled, into the Kingdom of Glory. Thc Rev. Mr. Bowen, concerning whom th memorial discourse was preached by the Rev Dr. Cutler, was born In Rhode Island in 1S27, am during the war was an hospital surgeon In Bait! more. He ls spoken or by those who knew hin as an earnest man, and a practical Christian who sought conscientiously to fulfil all his dalia In all the relations of lire. Mr. Bowen leaves i widow (the daughter or thc Rev. Dr. Oilman, o this city) and two onmirnn. Thc Second Presbyterian Church. There wore no services at this ohurch ycatcr ?lay, in consequence of the illness or the pastor the Rev. Dr. Smythe, and thc failure or thc] min later who was expected to occupy the pulpit lt his stead, to arrive. The Circular Church (Presbyterian.) The pastor, Rev. Mr. Adams, delivered an ex collent discourse from the text: "For ye know thc graco or our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty may bo rich," (ll Corinthians, viii, 9.) There was a full attendance, and thc audience seemed deeply Impressed. Jfirst Presbyterian Church (Scotch.) The pastor. Rev. Dr. Forrest, officiated yester? day morning, and delivered an excellent dis? course from the nth chapter and 23d verse ol Romans: "Behold, the goodness or God." There was no especial reference made to the season or the year, or to the rellgloas festival which was celebrated hy the other denominations. Central Presbyterian Church. Upon thc following text: "Why art thou cast down, 0 my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me f Hope thou In God, for I Fliall yet praise Him, who ls the health or my countenance an t my God," (iud Psalm, 11th verse,) Rev. Mr. Dana, pastor or this church, yesterday preached an Instructive and interestiug sermon. In earn? est language he pointed out the grounds Tor hope lu God; showed in what thc serving or God con? sisted-not In abnormal religious excitement, but In the general rectitude or life; that as God Offered to all grace here and glory hereafter, He demand? ed in return obedience, love and trust Trinity Church (MethodLit.) Thc Rev. W. P. Mouzon, pastor, took for lils text: "But now ls Christ risen from the dead, ami become the first fruits or them that slept," I Co? rinthians, 15, 20. The speaker sahl he would not attempt to bring forward the many strong argu? ments generally used on such occasions, but would merely quote the Gospel truths on the res? urrection, which was sufflclont evidence to prove to the world the resurrection or Christ. One re? markable ract he Impressed upon the sinner was this: that although previous to His crucifixion Christ mingled with sinners, yet after His resur? rection Dc appeared only to His disciples. This sermon was a plain but Impressive one. Spring Street Methodist Church. The day waa not specially observed at this church; yet the services were of a deeply Inter? esting character. Fifty-six persons applied for church membership, the fruit of a revival which ls still in progress, nnder charge of the pastor, Rev. J. T. Wightman. The morning service was con? ducted by thc Rev. Pan iel May, of tho South Carolina Conference-text, John lil, 10: "For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever U?lievcth In Him should not perish, bnt have everlasting life." He said thc text embodied thc great thought that thc God? head was interested In the salvation ol thc world. Thc love or God the Father was the moving cause of man's redemption; Hie suffering of God the Son th- procuring cause; and thc power or God thc Holy Ghost the efilcient cause. While all the Godhead thus actively combined for the redemp? tion or the world, yet thc instrumental cause was raith lu Christ, which secured the object or re? demption, namely, that they "should not perish" who believe in Christ. These points, as well as the power or thc noly Ghost on the hearts and consciences or thc ungodly, were urged with much earnestness. ? EASTER ELECTIONS.-There will bc elections for wardens, vestrymen or trustees, held in a number or churches to-day. We will be much obliged ir those having thc elections In charge will send us thc result to-day, In order that we may publish them In to morrow's issue. DETERMINED TO HOLD OS TO OKFICK. Daddy Cain is Indignant that those of thc Radi? cals who are out or office arc forming plans "tc defeat a.? many of thc former members rrom this county as possible." Cain "has been Informed ol a plan to form the committees In the wards lu such a manner as to keep certain parties from being nominated," and he suggests "to those tricksters that he knows their plans, and when the time comes, he will hold them up to the peo pie's gaze, so th ii tuey shill know them and their designs." PHOSPHATES. GROWTH OF TBE FERTILIZER TRADE OF CHARLESTON. WHAT OUR RAILROADS HAVE BEEN* DOINC. Interesting Statements. Tho worthy citizens who snuff the tainted gale, ami abuse, la no measured terms, these "su? perfluous superphosphates," do not pause to con? sider the extent or the fertilizer business, ita Im? portance to thc community, or Its potential in? fluence in developing the riches or theStatc. ^Es? thetically considered, fertilizers may be a nui? sance; butas a practical means of stimulating the soil, and of Increasing the product of a given quantity o? labor, their importance ls not likely to bc estimated too highly. Even before the war guanos were used in South Carolina. Thc consumption, however, was not pirge, and only the diminished amount and in? creasing cost of labor, consequent upon emanci? pation, made the farmer consider whether it was not better to decrease thearoa lu cultivation, and by high farming, Increase the yield. There was also, thc expectation that the use of fertilizers would push the colton plant forward so that the danger from caterpillars would be lessened, an expectation which in many marked instances hos been warranted by thc facts. The discovery of thc South Carolina phosphate beds, some three years ago, encouraged thc pub? lic to lend an ear to thc advantages of the diff?r? ent kinds of guano. Capitalists put their money freely Into the venture, aud the result was the establishment of thc Wando, the Etlwan, and thc Paciflc Phosphate Works, where tuc crude phos? phate roek 19 manipulated, made soluble, and prepared for a market. These different compa? nies give employment to hundreds of hands, without counting tho labor engaged in getting out the crude roc'< by thc different mining asso? ciations. As well as we have been able to learn, all the different companies arc in a prosperous condition, and they have, this season, transacted an enormous business. It Ls diillcult to ascertain how much fertilizing material of the different kinds has actually been sold. Thc agents are chary of giving detailed information, but thc records of the railroad and steamboat companies show tolerably well the amount of business done. Tne SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD. During the three months ending on March 31st, the amount of guano and fertilizers trans? ported by this railroad ls as follows: Tons. To Camden. 087 " Way Stations. 5,753 " Augusta and beyond.10,282 " Columbia and beyond. 7,3?8 Total...-24,068 The degree of lucrease ls shown by the follow? ing table, which gives the shlpmont of fertilizers during thc twelve months ending December 3lst, last: Tons. To Camden. 230 K " Way Stations.2.300 " Augusta and beyond. 3,610 >? " Columbia and beyond. 4,759 Total.10,815 It will be noticed that the shipment of fertiliz? ers to Camden for three months ot 1S70 ls three times os much as for twelve months ot 1S69; the shipments to way stations aro more than double, and thc shipments to Augusta and beyond are nearly trebled. During the past season the ferti? lizer trade with points beyond Augusta has large? ly Increased. This shows that Charleston ls spreading out her Iron arms into the ceutrc of Georgia and the Southern cotton belt. The in? crease In the shipments to the local stations ls also an excellent sign of progress. With more Xtomforty-eiaht million pounds of fertilizers 6ent over thc road in three months, no wonder that thc gale was tainted, and that the traveller over the line found an omnipresent odor less savory, by far, than the perfumes of Araby the Blest. TUR NORTHSASTERS RAILROAD. Thc shipments over this road up to the loth loon. To Way Stations. 507 " Florence.300 " Wilmington and Manchester R. R...14S5 " Chcraw and Darlington Railroad. .1500 Total.3798 Tn? SAVANNAH AND CHARLESTON RAILROAD. This road, for various reasons, has done only a small business In fertilizers. It has been open buta short time, and thc sectiou through which it passes ls not rich In active capital. From the 1st January to date, this road hos shipped two hundred and forty tons. RBOArlTULATlON. Weean now form some Idea of the extent of the trade by adding together the shipments by the different roads, and adding to the statement ot the South carolina Railroad (which is for three months) enough to equalize it with the Savannah and the Northeastern Roads, which arc for three months and a half: Tons. South Carolina Railroad.26,006 Northeastern Railroad. 3,798 Savannah and Charlcstou Railroad.. 240 Total.30,104 TUB COST. The price of the different kinds of fertilizers ranges from $55 to $100 a ton, but a fair average ls about $70. At this rate the value of the fertil? izers shipped over the different railroads this year is $-?,107,280. ITS BULK. Some idea may be had of thc bulk of this enor? mous mass of fertilizing material. A car carries about 16,000 pounds, so that there was lu all about three thousand seven hundred and sixty-three (3703) car loads, which would make two hundred and ?iQht trains of eighteen cars euch. These trains, one berorc thc other, with their engines and conductors' cars, would form a continuous Hue over twenty-seven miles loaf, and of this, the fertilizers carried by the Smith Carolina Railroad would make a train long enough to reach from Sr. Michael's Church to Summerville, ormor? than TWBNTY-TUKL'E nillCS. CONCLUSION. Besides the amounts shipped by the railroads, about 1000 tons ot fertilizers have been forwarded by thc coasting steamers and schooners. There have also been shipped to foreign ports,735 lons of crude phosphates, valued at $4450. These ilgures will enable our readers to realize, perhaps for the first time, the magnitude of the phosphate busi? ness, and thc amount of capital Invested in ferti? lizers by the farmers and planters of the State.
