Few know the vast wealth which lies undeveloped in South Carolina, and one of the advantages which the changed condition of things must bring lo ns is tho development of these sources of wealth.. The iron ore of Spartanbnrg- is well known to be the finest in the United States. ' Our entire up-coun? try abounds with iron and gold, and when wo got into the Blue Ridge Mountains, lead and copper is found in abundance. Coming lower down the country, wo find deposits which aro perhaps equally valuable, and which- are now being more or less de? veloped. The entire region of coun? try drained by Horse Creek and its tributaries possesses inexhaustible de? posits of the finest kaolin, burrh stone, with- ochre of all colors, from the deepest red to tho lightest green. The pure kaolin of this region is now in great demand, and those engaged in. the business are not able to fur? nish all that is wanted; and the price at which it is sold in the North leaves, we are informed, a very large profit to those owning the works. The South Carolin? Porcelain Manufac? turing Company are now the largest shippers of kaolin, though several Sther parties are engaged in the trade, lost of.it that ?B now shipped goes down Big Horse Creek to the Savan? nah River, and thence to Savannah .by steamers, where it is loaded into schooners and sent North. Some of1 it. comes over the South Carolina Railroad to Charleston, and is from herO trent North. Few of our people know to what extent this trade has been pushed, and that South Carolina kaolin is now regularly quoted in the manu? facturers' price lists of the Northern cities, and yet we are quite sure that the trade is but commenced, and that it will not only be used to much greater extent in the United States, nt must become an article of export to Europe, and even now it can be Srofitably sold in Liverpool, and or ers from England are now here for shipments to be sent out to that country. A few casks of it were sent to England and France last summer, to be made up into crockery, and the samples of ware which have been re? turned to the shipper, aro very beau? tiful. The reports of manufacturers are very favorable, and they say that for certain styles of wares, it is supe? rior to the celebrated Staffordshire clay, but for the coarser wares iL is too fine, and to moke themf must be mixed with other clay. On a recent visit to this section, we examined the depenits of ochres, kaolin and burrh Btr ne on the Kalmia Mills property, and we confess our surprise at the extent of these mate? rials. We wore shown a deposit of kaolin almost as pure and white as snow, and covering a tract of ooantry as large as half the city of Charles? ton. Tho stratum varies from five io twenty-seven feet in thickness, end is large enough to supply the wants of the world for generations. Another of the natural resources of the State, the immense deposit of bone and phosphates on the banks of the Ashley River, near Charleston, apart from its intrinsio value, derives additional interest from the fact that we owe the knowledge of it to the scientific acquirements aud indefati? gable research of?a South Carolinian, and one, too, who hos been for years, prominently connected with one of our principal institutions of learn? ing. How this deposit came to be made, is an interesting scientific question ; but the facts which more immediately concern ns now are first, that this deposit, which is inexhaust? ible, furnishes tho raw material, .-mt of which may be manufactured a /ertilizer equal in quality to the best Peruvian guano, and that can be sup? plied to the agriculturist at incom? parably lower rates ;*nnd second, that a co ru po ny with a large capital has been formed for the express purpose of manufacturing this fertilizer, and its affairs are under the direction of Professor F. 8. Holmes, the gentle? man .Who made the disefwnry^ ooaiof ed by Dr. Pratt, who rendered tho Professor material aid in his re? searches. That such means of wealth should have remained so long undeveloped is a reproach to us os a people, and we trust that the necessities of the times -will now force us into a diver? sity of employments, which will no longer let such great interests re? main dormant. And that the time has come when they will bo made to contribute their proportion to the future prc sperity aud wealth of South Carolina. The United States is now supplied with mill-stones and with ochre from France, and for these two articles alone we pay to France yearly over $4,000,000 in gold, and yet we have both articles iu great quantity and of equal, if not superior, quality on Corse Creek. Tho South has vast resources, aud if we would only use them properly, we need not fear for the future. Un? equal taxation and bad government may prevent our immediate prosper? ity; but we look upon such influ? ences as bat temporary, and the time must come when the great natural resources will he brought out, and restore to us more than we have lost.

IV THOUSANDS OP HOUSKHOLD81-H it should be suddenly announced through? out tho United States, Canadas, thc West Indies and Spanish America, that no morn HOSTETTEB'S BITTERS would bo manu? factured, aud that henceforth the grand specific for dyspepsia, and preventive of all malarious diseases, would be lost to thc world! The bilious, the feeblo, tho despon? dent; tho traveler, thc voyager, the miner, tho sedentary student; tho settler on the frontier of civilization; the toiler, cooped up in crowded city tcucments; the conva? lescent, needing an invigorant; the shiver? ing victim of ague, and tho nervous of both sexes everywhere, would learn, with grief, too deep for words, that tho most celebrated corrective, invigorant and alte? rative of the age, had been , blotted out of existence. As a preparatory antidoto to epidemic disease, a genial stimulant, a promoter of constitutional vigor, an appe? tizer, a stomachic, and a remedy for ner? vous debiUty, no medicinal preparation has ever attained the reputation of Hos tetter's Bitters. It is tho household tonic of the American people-has been so foi twenty years, and in all humau probabilitj will be so for centuries to come. Tho mag? nates of science recognizo its merita; and that it is emphatically the medicine of the masses is proved by"ita vast and ever in creasing sales. Jan 1 Gt M ra.
