coltjmbia;s;? Satard ay Horning, April 5,1873. Th? Marl Beds mn& PhoipbftU jEUpcki of South. Carolin?.?; Wo have been pleasantly confirmed in the estimate, derived from a review of tho trade and commerce of Charleston for the last seven years, of the extraordi? nary vitality and varied resources of our old oity by the sea, by a Bimilar. favora? ble view of some of the leading business journals of New fork and Boston. - We have derived no little satisfaction from the pamphlet of the Chamber of Com? merce, whioh lucidly and elaborately describes the growth of the numerous branches of business in the oity, ont of the losses and ashes of a protracted siege and doaolatinK fires, and in despite of heavy taxation and the extravagance of an' ignorant and oorrapt Government. From 'what has bean aohievod, under euch difficult circumstances, we may in? fer a rapid and healthful progress in the future, under the more favorable condi? tions whioh 'are' now rapidly grouping themselves together. As a matter of -general interest, and* yet comparatively unknown i in its de? tails, wo presented, a l|ew days ago, the more important facta and statistics con? cerning the manhfeotore and trade in commercial fertilisers. To make this information more satisfactory and com? plete, it will be necessary to briefly notice the marl beds and phosphate rooks, from whioh the crude material, the base of the manufactured artiole, is drawn. We are indebted to the ex? haustive articles on this interesting sub? ject, contributed by Major Edward Willis, and embodied in the reoent pub? lication of the Chamber of Commerce, lor valuable information, which we shall freely use. The marls and rocks have long been known and are treated of in early histories and reports. , The eoo notnio value of the marls was especially brought to notice by Mr. Edmund Buffiu, State Geologist, in 1811 and 1842, who also notioed in his report in 1813, the nodules, now known us phos? phate rock, which hive since become so famous. Mr. Tuomy, who filled the 8?rue ? position in 1848, alluded to them as marl atoue, and represented to?con? tain numerous fossils. Professor Holmes, in 1850, described them with considera? ble caref/Stf the' marl rock, f oesiliferous, emitting a foetid binell, &o., but without allusion to their pbOBphntio character, of which, iu fact, there is no reoorded evidence that it was understood prior to the spring of 1867. Daring the summer of that year, Dr. St. Julian Bavenil lie-, oame aware, from the examination of specimcus of teeth, nodules and marl from Goose Creek and Ashley Biver, of their true character and value. His con? clusions were verified by the analysis of Dr. Pratt, who at onoe grasped and comprehended the immense interests which depended on these rich deposits. Thus, although known as early as 1795, and more familiarly sinoe 1843, it was regarded as worthless for all purposes of practical Utility, Its riohnesa in thephos phatic element undiscovered, until within the last five years.. There are two characters of phosphate deposit?the land and river. The first mentioned is altogether dog by hand, with spade, pick and shovel?a portion being taken from the sand that overlies it; bat the main yield is from the clay in which it is imbedded, and is the best land rock. The clay is hard to separate, but that whioh is found in tho sand readily yields to the action of water, and and can be well cleaned at small cost. This land is private property, mostly owned by the parties working it, or it is rented by them or worked on shareB or for u subsidy. It pays no tax or royally to the State. The river deposit is en? tirely different, being mined from the navigable streams, the property of tho State. The Legislature has granted oharters to two oompanies to mine them, and exacted for the State ono dollar per ton royalty for every ton mined or re? moved. This deposit is worked by hand from April to September, but at all times of the year whon machinery is employed. As tho rock is raised through tho wuter, either out of the mud or Baud, it is easily separated by the washers that ao oonipany tho dredges. This deposit fur? nishes tho balk of the supply now re? ceived. Tho phosphato nodales lie along tho water courses of the country, on the banks of tho rivers and smaller streams, and of tho swamps now or formerly dis? charging their waters into these streams. Major Willis points ont two other facts of much interest. First, the marl underlying the regions of a nodular de? posit, is greatly richer in phosphatic oonstitnents than those portions of tho marl above whioh there has been no each nodular deposit. Secondly, in these richer marls, phosphate nodales, olosely resembling those of the superfi? cial deposits, have been found in vary i?g quantities andinses, to "tho depth of mote than 300 foot. Layers may possi? bly bo found there at workable depths, sufficiently Hob. to warrant the expense of mining'for them. These m?U sill give our renders some idea of the his* tory( extent and value of this rust pkoa phutio 'area, land and water. An analy? sis of twenty different specimens of phosphate rook shows a per oentage of from 54.92 to 65.01 phosphate of lime. It is a mine of wealth to the State in its oxports, and when the fertilizers manu? factured from it are more easily and oheaply produced and diffused over it, they will also tell iu the increased power? ful influence whioh they will exert npo'n its productive capacity. Tue D?ohe33h of Qebolstbin's Tac? tics.?A* angry correspondent of the New York World oompares the promo? tion of the President's son Fred, from Second Lieutenant to Lieu tenant Co? lonel, to a similar rapidity of promotion by the Grand Duohosse of Gerolstein, where another Frits figured. The cases really are'very similar in many respects; and point: the moral of Republican imi? tation of royal precedents. After the aspiration of the inaugural for universal language . and universal equality, this does Sot look consist ont?n bless the uni? versal language be money, and the equality to be oonfiued to the rnling family* Young Grant may be a very nioe young man, and a budding soldier of promise; bat to elevate him so sud? denly Over the heads of nil the General Saums of the army, and the men who have seen servioa and smelt powder, through the aid and oonniranoe of "Piegan Phil" Sheridan?who "made a back," as the boys'say, for tho vaulting ambition of the young lieutenant? smacks of favoritism and nepotism too much to satisfy the public. Andrew Jackson did not eoruple to use the pa? tronage of the Government to reward his friends and punish his enemies; but ho did not divide all the loaves and fishes among his own household. Wo must cease laughing at royal families, nfior these rapidly recurring precedents in our own reigning house. '?'? <-???-?-1? Sale,of the. Charleston Co unten.? This-verierable journal?the oldest pub? lication in the State?was sold at auc? tion, on Thursday last, for the insiguifl oant sum of $7,100. The Courier thus speaks of the sale: "The:i sale of the t%urier establish? ment took placo yesterday, at public auction, as advertised. Mr. H. H. De Leon oopduCted the sale, which resulted as follows: The' good will, subscription list and material of the daily and tri? weekly Qourier were sold to Messrs. Riordan, Dawson & Co., for 87,100. The bound volumes of the Courier?com? plete file?were sold to Mr. O.A. Spof ford, for $2,250. It is said that they were purchased for the Congressional Library at Washington. Seventy-six vo? lumes of the Courier, 1801 to 1872, were -old to Gapt. W. A. Odurteuay,' of this city. Tho files of the City Guzsite were pnroha3od by Mr. S. Y. Tup per, for the Chamber of Commerce." The JVeuttsays: "Tho public sale of the Charleston Courier, yesterday, resulted in its pur? chase by the proprietors of the News. This, of course, will necessitate some change in the management of the com? bined journals; and we shall tako the earliest possible opportunity of advising tho public of what shall be tho course of a liberal and progressive newspaper whioh will then represent both the hoary ago and the luBty vigor of the now South Carolina, to which, through good and evil report, we are bound forever." The Bill Poster's Murder.?JubUco for onoe in New York has made a signal effort at directness, and has reached un clogged a verdict of murder in the first degree, in the brief space of ono day. The trial of Charles Nixon, the bill poster, who killed a poor truckman iu a fit of auger some timo ago, was opened at noon Tuesday, and closed Wednes? day, when the jury, after au absence of less than thrco hours, brought in a vor diot of murder iu the first degree. The prisoner seems to have been sloio onough to boar tho vcrdiot with apparent indif? ference, and yet sympathetic enough to reflect upon the consequences to his family. The Marr heirs have met at Portlaud, Me., and formed what thoy call "The Murr Claim Association," to see if they can't secure "tho estatoof Murr, in Scot? land, worth $G0,000,000." We dou't know what they are asking for thousand dollar s nur es in tho association, but if not more than a quarter ol a cent per dozen, they may send us a couple of them. Blown Down.?A scvero storm of thunder, lightning, wind and rain pasred over our town on Tuesday aftornoon last. The force of the wind was so groat about a milo South of this placo, that a house owned by Ben Dargan, and recentlv put np, was blown down, and most of tho furniture and orookory destroyed. {Darlington Southerner. Death.?Mr. Thomas Murtishaw, of Maybinton, Newberry County, died bu the 30th nit., very suddenly. It appears that ho and his wife had gone out to walk, when ho oomplained of feeling un? well. He returned home and was fonnd by his nophew lying upon the floor with his head in the fire place?dead. A' small portion of his face- was burned. A Woman P?bmeb ?The story, of a young woman in Illinois is worth read? ing in these days of mooh prattle (about i woman's rights) and little practical per? formance. The name of the damsel we knew nought cf, save that its initial letter is A.; of her locality we are < simply informed that she lives and labors in Illinois. This maiden was a student in a "leading young ladies' seminary." Her father died, leaving a f?rm?oonside rably mortgaged, and a widow whose health did not permit her to manage the estate profitably; whereupon our euer- . getio young woman bid farewell to the leading seminary, and became practical , ly bnooiio. She had eighty acres to manage, half of it well broken in, and half of it land rioh but liable to over? flow. - The barn had been reoently burned, and all the fencing was in 1 bad order. Such was the position when the young lady left the seminary und'turnod farmer. She had one horse; she bor? rowed another; and a friend, helped her by the loan of implements. vl'hp.s provided, she has accomplished some? what.- v Wearing a gymnastic suit, with a broad-brimmed hat, gloves and boots 1 made to order, she ploughed; she direct? ed the removal of stumps of trees; she assisted in drilling the wheat; she even helped to feil trees, and is reported to use an axe boautifnlly. She has eight acres in grass and twelve in orohard; she raised twenty-three acres of winter wheat in 1872; and would have had from three to five aoree more, but for the failure of a horrid ine?ioient man, who failed to cot it in time. In all, she got 450 busheis oi wheat, weighing sixty-two Sounds to the bushel. Most of the ome farm is cultivated in corn, though there are eight aores of grass and twelve of orohard. Our pretty Pomona, in 1872, sold 100 barrels of apples, and re oently had 160 barrels in the cellar. Poor young woman I All has not been bright with her. She has had her little sorrows, like the rest of womankind; she has been called to mourn over one horse drowned and another stolen; she had been bereaved of a colt, and her pigs were a failure. But upon the whole, the Providence which presides over agricul? ture has smiled upon her. She is gra? dually paying off the mortgage bo ?quealhed to her by-her sire. She has forty aores of wheat sown for the ooming year. She has taken excellent care of her widowed mother, of her fatherless little brother, and of a smaller sister. We wish that we know her name. Against all our typographical rule.-?, we should be tempted to print it iu large capitals. It is aggravating to bo forced to speak of her simply as Miss A. The letter,.however, is a good letter, stauding. at the head of the alphabet, and is sug? gestive of A No. 1. The tender interest which she has exoited in our own heart is sufficiently indicated by the fact that we have before mentioned her, though all too briefly, as we were not then in full possession of all the pleasant facts. Rowdyism..- We Tegret to bo obliged to reoord a most disgraceful soene of tnrbulanoo, which occurred on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Colemau, a young man from the country, was grossly assailed with moat abusive epithets by a colored man, (Charles Green ) Being the second offence, from the same party, and unable to defend himself, other than with a weapon, as he was a cripple, Mr. Cole man fired upon Green, inflicting a wound in the leg of the latter. A colored woman among the crowd joined in the fray, and used brickbats and other mis siles freely, while the .wvugo mass cla? mored "Kill him,kill him," Ac. Two colored men, David Palmer and Frank Millett, ran to the rescue, and did all that was possible to allay the excitement, and for their pains ono carries now a de? cided elevation on his cranium, the ef? fect of a half brick. Mr. Colomau, tho? roughly oonvinoed that his life was sought, drew his knife, and Charles Green was made to feel the edge of it, in two dangerous stabs in the bend and neck. This added to tho fury of the ne? groes, and they would have immolated the cornered man, except that he held bis knifo too defiantly. Mr. Colemau afterwards proceeded to tho office of tho Trial Justice, Mr. Browning, and there tho savage crowd, greedy for a fight, laid hold of Mr. D. F. Culler, who, in an in? staut, was hurled to the ground, and swarmed with a crowd, who continued their yells for blood. Fortunately, a few gentlemen wove present, who jumped in and rescued Mr. Culler. In the throng were soveral colored meu, who kept tho passions of thoso deluded peoplo excited, aud tho white citizens, fearing a rescue of Mr. Colemau from tho authorities, stood by to preaorvo him from violenoo. A second thought impressed the rioters, and they began to disperse. Had they boon met upon their own offer, it is very likely that the Coroner would have hud much business; but, ay iu nil those dis? turbances, our white citizens acted pru? dently and calmly. Whiskey, as usual, was at the bottom of the tight, and a few h.iir-braiued fools that houuded it on, who should have been arrested, were pormitted to go free. Our local authori? ties must interforo in the iuoipiency of these disturbances, or u generul scrim rnago will bo tbo result. [ Orangeburg Times.

On the 28th of April, 18*7, the Exmouth, an emigrant ship from Londonderry, was wrecked; and nearly 240 lives lost. A still more disas? trous wreck was that of the Royal Ade? laide, whioh occurred on tho Tongue Sands, off Margate, on whioh oouN^on 400 lives were lost. Wo think it wasps' 1837 that the Groavenor Iudiamau waa\ lost, while on the way to Australia, from London; the passengers consisted of 600 convicts, nearly all of whom were lost. In September, 1850, the Edmond was lost on the Western coast of Ireland, and more than half of the 200 passen? gers perished. Upon the occasion of the loss of the troop-ship Birkenhead, in Simon's Bay, Sonth Africa, in February, 1852, 45i of the orew and soldiers pe? rished. Ag-iin, in 1853, just a year after this, the Independence took fire on the coast of Lower California,'and- 140 per? sons were consumed by the names or drowned in the soa. In May of the same year, 170 lives were lost by the wreck of the William and Mary, near the Bahamas; and five months afterward, 343 persons, mainly emigrant passengers, on the Annie Jane, of Liverpool, pe? rished on the We3t shore of Scotland, where the vessel was beached. The Fa? vorite, on her way from Bremen to Bal? timore, in April, 1854, ran into the bark Hesper, and 201 lives were sacrificed. In May of the same year, 400 officers and soldiers wore lost with the Lady Nugent, a troop-ship, whioh fouudered in a hur? ricane; and in tho succeeding fall, the United States mail steamer Arotio came in oontact, during a fog, with the Frenoh steamer Vesta, and a loss of 300 lives the result. The steamer City of Glasgow disappeared also before the olose of this disastrous year, with 430 persons on board. In 1855, the only serious marine accident was the loss of the George Cau ning, near the month of tho Elbe, with 96 passengers ou board. Iu 1856, the John, an emigrant vessel, was wrecked on the Munch Rook), olT Fulmouth, on whioh occasion 200 Hvcb wero lost. On the 231 of February of tho succeeding year, the well-kuown Collins steamer Pacific ieft Liverpool for the oity of New York, freighted with 186 souls, and was uever .again heard of. During tho summer of 1857 tho clipper ship Duubar was wreeked near Syd?ey, and out of 121 persons on board only one was saved. Iu September of the same year tho ateamer Central America fouudered at 6ca with 579 passengers; only 152 wore rescued. Ou the 13th of September, 1SDS, the steum emigrant ship Austria was burned in mid-Atlantic, and of tho 538 passengers but G7 were saved. In September of the samo year 317 Chinese emigrants lost their lives in consequence of the wreck of the St. Paul on the island of Rossel. Of the 419 persons on ' the Pomona, which was lost on Blackwutor Bank, April 28, 1859, only 21 were saved. Daring the same year the Boyal Charter was wrecktd off Moelfra, with a loss of 446 livos. On the night of February 2, 1860, a new mail steamer, the Hungarian, was wreck? ed oil the coast of Nova Scotia, and all on board, 205, perished. Ten years ago this mouth 237 out of 416 persons, pas? sengers on the Anglo Saxon, lost their lives when that steamer was wrecked off Newfoundland. In January of 1866 the steamer London foundered in the Bay of Biscay, sacrificing about 220 lives. Amoug the more recent losses at sea that of tho Oity of Boston and that of the Northfleet, the 'Evening Star, the Cen? tral America, aud tho San Francisco may be added to tho list. The Narrow Gauge Bailroad.?On last Saturday, at Chester, the Chester and Lenoir Narrow . Gauge Bailroad Company was organized by the eleotion of a President and Directors. Dr. A. H. Davega, of Chester, was eleoted Pre? sident. A meeting is called, on the 7th of May, at Hickory Tavern, North Caro? lina, of tho stockholders of the Carolina Narrow Gauge Bailroad and of tho Chester aud Lenoir Narrow Gauge Bail? road, the object of which, it is said, is to consolidate tho two roads. When constructed, those roads will be of in? calculable value to the whole of upper Sonth Carolina and Western North Ca? rolina. To York and Chester Counties they will afford facilities never before en? joyed. Fully impressed with tho great importance of this projected road, the company is determined to build it as speedily as possible. Tho Carolina Nar? row Gauge and tho Chester and Lenoir Narrow Gango Railroads will, iu all pro? bability, bo consolidated ao boon as the law will allow them, aud the work of construction bo im mediately commenced. Tho people of Chester County, on the I 23.1 instant, will vote on tho question of n County subscription of $100,000. This looks liko business. In fact, the motto of the company is busiucss?not talk. It intends to build tho road, and that as soou as tho nature of tl>& case will ad? mit.? Vorkrille Enquirer.

A New Sensation .?Some of the nu? merous itinerant burlesque troupea that find their fittest fields for dispensing sensationalism in the far West? have, in a few recorded instances, introduced marriages between actors and actresses upon the stage as interludes to the main attraction. This hint the Bev. De Witt Talmage adopted, not to make a side? show, but to bring out his principal idea, when, as has been detailed, he opened the doors of tho Brooklyn Academy of Music, and at fifty cents a head, invited the people to come in and witness the ceremony of a real Wedding with jtbe parties masquerading in the costumes of a century ago. The reverend gentleman has always been a man of marked eccen? tricities, but perhaps he never evidenced such a lack of good taste, to put no worse construction upon it, as when he lent himself to the scheme of this real marriage, a la burlesque, with: stage ap- ?' pointmeuts. scenic effeot and all the paraphernalia of clown, harlequin and pantaloon. Now, theatrical perform? ances aud oeremonies, requiring the of? fices of religion with real prayers and sliced formulas, are, or should be, en? tirely distinct. The theatres have as muoh right to exist as the pulpits and have as specific a purpose, .bat none of the better class of tho former axe so irre? verent as to make religion a show .and a mockery, as Mr. Talmage has given the pnblio too muoh reason to think he has done. His intentions may have been excellent, but bis spiritual suscep? tibility needs cultivating. Personal honor is the apple of the Japanese eye, and the sensitive Jap has a ourious way sometimes of vindicating it. For instauce, not long ago fifteen followers of a murdered officer commit? ted suioide, after waiting vainly for years to see if the murderers of their master would be punished for their orime. The murderers wero only sentenced to soli? tary confinement in their own houses. The followers of the mnrdered official then gave notice of their intention to commit hari-kari, and actually disem? bowelled themselves as a rebuke to the courts.
