' what more orderly meeting than the last was held at the Military Hali last night, about twc ; hundred persons-being present? Th?'m?etfti? ; was called to order by Senator Cain, and Cop , lector Clark was called tajhe -chair. iTn-a few tiresome remarks the chairman Introduced the Hon of the evening, Secretary of Statea ftor dozo, who vented his spleen on the "lead? ers ot the Reform party after the-usual fashion, bis remarks occasionally rousing some of the -less Indolent of lils hear? ers into a spasmodic sort ,of - applause. Ia?ito "reftittattojis'' (as he:called them) o? (ter?ra^u'.Piai^r's charges, he made, among ?hers^ie, absurd . assertion that the debt of rffir f^^^A:f^j(jwn increased. one single ?hrj^^?^i&er)?r^nt administration.;' This evenr the moW'. ignorant of tfie assemblage couldn*tsee, ai$the learned speaker waited y'^a^^^g^^^nieis^g. of applause . to w^^ff?3!^S?B^^^^^,^^?^??^ biu^ent?ilod'hlmVb'nt the haU'yras fasfil?as moonligbt:. This raised his recoUectlonu iittte, and he discovered that the ^bt haj?Tbeen "changed from a bonded debt 'bf-Six m???ons, and . a floating debt of three millions, to a bonded debt of nine millions." which ' he claimed was all that the State now owed. Two old men and a boy beat their heels on the floor-then he re? membered seven hundred thousand dollars which had been spent "to buy lands for the poor slaves whose tears and life-blood h8d Ailed up the wealth of the State until lt reached three hundred millions." A tune on the word "Slave" lor about five minutes, forced from a corner of the hall a burst of applause, which subsided rapidly. A most disgusting anecdote, more thoroughly and Intensely disgusting than anything which we had ever expected to hear at even a Ring meeting, closed bis speech. Lieutenant Colonel De.aney followed In a rather less offensive, but equally pointless ef? fort, paying special attention to a sketch' of the bi-tory of the Radical Republican party. He seemed unwilling to speak, and declined twice. General W. J. Whipper delivered himself of a tirade against Judge Carpenter, whbh was really laughable, winding up by frankly acknowledging that there was corruption in the party now In power, and that he had never expected lt to be otherwise. After remarks by some of the lesser lights, the meeting, which had really been an orderly j one, adjourned. TBE ZAND COMMISSION. X Card. from Ex?ComiuiMloner Leslie. TO THE EDITOR OF THE XE WS. If you will publish letters which tend to con? vince the public that I bare improperly and fraudulently acted id the land office, I must be allowed to answer-I will answer every time. I only see your paper when a friend sends it; consequently I may not deny, or aoewer, io each individual case. But, I repeat, I will an? swer any article you, or your correspondents, may write which mi any manner reflects upon me. This i8 a privilege whioh I claim. I ad? mit my responsibility to the people, abd ask no favors. I will begin my answer. I reid in your paper of August 4th your it dictmrat beaded, as fo'lows : "More of the Laud Bing." 1. I reitetate my letter m the "3uardian"as being correct and true. : 2. The "Darlington purchase," described by "No Guess," I am a stranger to, and bad noth? ing to do with it. If there is any fraud in the transaction, lam not the man. I challenge con? tradiction from any quarter. $. Mr. Whipper's purchase in Beaufort waa mads under DeLarge'a administration. Also the Oconee purchase. -L <aTbe Williamsburg purchase" I am a strang: r to. II there wis any fraud therein, I am not the uan. I challenge contradiction from friend or foe. 5. You also published an article taken from the "Barnwell Journal," whioh tends to show that my letter in the "Guardian" was not true inasmuch as I said I did not purchase land as land com missioner upon my own responsibili? ty], nor did I pay for any-and cites an in? stance where, at "public outcry," in the pres? ence ci the multitude, I did bid off two pieces of land, and that I sent the money from Co? lumbia by express to pay for the land. This fact, the "Journal" s ?ya, nukes me out a Uar, and you, Mr. Editor, rather think that I am "conspicuously inexact. ' -, Answer : These tracts were purchased by : order of th? advisory Loar J, and paid for by the treasurer, not by me. No fraud was charged. The editor simply indulges in a play upon words. I ^repeat, I never bought auy land, as land commissioner, upon my o<vn re? sponsibility, and was land commissioner only in name. I wish to say to the "Journal" man, to immediately empby Reverend Editor.and Senator R. H. Cain-he knowe all that ls wot th knowing-to aid m the discovery of peculation on my part while in offici. The public will remember that this worthy editor said in his paper (''Missionary Recoid") that I was guilty ?of "peculation." B9tween both of these 'gentlemen they may find something, and there? by create a sensation, who kaows ? I wonder what Cain can tell. Lat us bear from Cain and Shuck. It's their put in now. Respectfully, 4e. C P. LESLIE. OUR PHOSPHATE BEDS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. In the article on the phosphate beds of this State, which appeared In the Courier of yester? day morning, I observe a note from Professor _F. S. Holmes, giving the credit or the discovery :.oi the true value ot the beds to Dr. N. A Pratt, ol Georgia, whose analysis showed 63 per cent, cf phosphates. This ls followed by some re? marks showing that the richness of these marls in phosphate of lime had been detected some years previous; Professor Tuomey, after? wards the State geologist, having detected 25 per cent., when his predecessors had only dis? covered 12 per cent., is it not somewhat singu? lar that men highly competent to Ail the positions which they hold, and appolnt Ted by our Legislature for the especial purpose of ascertaining the true mineral wealth of the State, .should have made elaborate ana ly sei of the same marls-Indeed I have heard (bat .Professor Pratt's analysis was made from a portion of the identical nodule which bad furnished" the material ol Professor Tuomey's researches with such wide? ly varying results ? If a competent chemist analyzes any compound substance.-should he not trace the true amount' of' its component parts, or at least approximate the true amount more cccurately than one-fifth of It " Professor Tuomey In the report on the geolo? gical survey of the State In 1348, states that the marls of the State "are rich In calcareous matter beyond example; and in addition to this they contain phosphate of lime In a very valuable proportion." (Page 235.) A foot note here referred to, says: "The merit of this dis? covery belongs to Dr. Smith and Professor Shepard." An analysis of marl from Bee's Ferry, quoted on the same page, glyes four per cent, of phosphate ol' lime. Further on we learn "that Mr. Ruffln has studied the agricultural value ot these marls with especial care and success. His investiga? tions were particularly directed to the deter? mination of the carbonate of lime they con? tained." Why? Had not Mr. Ruffln som? i plants ? And If he-hadin?t*, Dr. Vogel set ! ; forth in 1844 the valuable results of his ex 1 perfme?ts in Oils matter, showing that the ? fruit of the. Pyrus Spe?taMs contained as ? much phosphat?s as the trunk and leaves oom I bined, willie "tie carbonates fall off from . 86 to 45." WJiy, then, seefc%_ further for . carbonates? We neither Intended-plant? ing acorns to grow ship timber nor cotton . for shade?j. trees. Mr. Birran . may have been Ignorant' of. the. practical valae'of the phosphates as fertilizers, but if his successors were, th?y have no excuse^- ?nd though they continued their search for the carbonates, how could they possibly have so overlook?d the enor? mous percentage of the phosphates'? An an? alysis must show all that a substance contains to be entitled to the term complete or success? ful, and yet Professor Shepard failed to find in the Drayton HUI marls' more than 8.60 per cent, of phosphate of lime In an examination made during 11A Course on Chemistry applied to Agriculture P? Wa3 he;- too, looking for carbonates? It would appear that in a series ot lectures upon so vastly Important a subject he should not, in his experiments, have looked for anything in particular, but for everything which could be used with'advantage as a fertilizing agent. Sixty-three per cent, being more than six tenths of a given mass, would have left a smali proportion to be divided between silica, car? bonate of lime and magnesia, alumina, water. Ac, and if his research was made with a special view to the (2 erv of carbonate of lime, he should have beeD greatly discouraged had his analysis been o correct or complete one. Mr. N. S. Shaler, in a note appended to a paper presented by him i :> the Boston Society of Natural History, lu March last, gives to Dr. St. Julien Ravenel the credit of being the first to discover "the commercial value of these bed?," but, unless he can show an analysis giving at least forty per cent, ot' phosphate of lime, made prior to that of Dr. Pratt, we think that, giving "honor to whom honor ls due," the analysis made by the latter gentlemen, giving the first idea of the- enormous value of these marls, fully entitles him to the laurel, and well may he be proud of the new source of wealth and enterprise which he has opened to our State.

THE SEASON OF EXHAUSTION. The close sultry weather- which usually prevails toward the eud of summer ls particularly unfavo? rable to the ' '?ble and enervated. Even the well knit fram?? of strong men feel the Influence or the season, and lassitude and languor pervade the whole community. Ladles, especially those m delicate health, suffer much from debility, oc? casioned by the humid heat, and feel the want of a wholesome tnvigorant. In fact, a necessity for something to recruit the exhausted system ts ex? perienced, more or less, by everybody, and the only question ts, what that something will be. With those who have teated the effect of HOSTET TER'S STOMACH BITTERS on themselves, or have observed Its effects on others, this question will not be In doubt for a single moment. Its tonic and regulating operation, and Us agency In creating a healthy appetite and promoting diges? tion, are rightly classed by all who have resorted to this unequalled vegetable invlgoraut and cor? rective, among the most extraordinary therapeu? tic wonders of modern times. It should be taken at this season as a safeguard against the epidemic diseases which are so apt to attack the relaxed system In the fall of the year. As it is understood that mercenary speculators In various parts of the country are endeavoring to supersede the standard tonic of the age with worthless articles manuractured by themselves, which they represent to be superior to this long tried remedy, lt is proper to put the public on their guard against this species of Imposition, and to warn them against the deleterious trash with which dishonorable dealers seek to drench them._augl9-6pj?c NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS. - WILMINGTON, COLUMBIA AND AUGUSTA RAIL?
