OUR JV ATERI AZ INTERESTS.
THE MINES OF THE WANDO COMPANY.
Phosphate Diggings-What they Look
Like and How they arc Worked.
An afternoon drive to the min6s of the Wan?
do Mining and Manufacturing Company will
repay evon those most familiar with Charles"
ton and South Carolina in tho past and present;
but thc ti mc of tho ?tranger, bent on gain or
pleasure, could not bc more pleasantly or pro?
fitably spent. A few jolts over the cobble
stones of Meeting-street and you are upon the
now shell road, tho boast of tho present city
administration.
It is generally smooth, but it has some
holes, so that your buggy now glides like a
skiff upon the placid waters of a lake-now
?nrches violently like a ship in a storm at sea.
With a good horse, however, th?8 part of tho
trip is soon over; and just after you pass the
Six Milo House, you turn eff into tho old Dor?
chester road, and in the three remaining milos
you traverse, through alternate sand and
water, a piny swamp region, the theatre of
many of thc most remarkable scones in Mr.
Gilmore Simms' popular romances. The
spring, which wai tho trysting placo of Kato
Walton an I her lover, is but a lew feet from
thc road, and Porgoy's portly figure, pros
trato upon a log, advancing, Bcrpcut-like,
upo:i a cooter, or his rubicund visage bent in
epicurean meditation upon his hominy pot,
would scarcely startle you in tho swamp or
pine thicket.
An hour and a half is timo enough for thc
whole ride of nine miles, and then yon come
upou what was once a plantation, but is non
tho "Phosphate Mines." The old wooden house
partly io ruins, half hidden among tho branch?
ing live oaks, with its startling repaire of un?
painted boards, is a fit bul rude awakener from
the dreams of thc past to tho action ol thc
prosent. This is tho headquarters of tho
"mine3." Here resides Mr. Burns, tho super?
intendent of the diggings, and here, on Satur?
day cvoning, tho treasurer calls tho pay roll
and settles with the hands. The miners arc
all negroes, and it is somewhat amusing to no?
tice tho promptitude with which jet black fel?
lows, with kinky heads and ivory teeth, and
clothes befitting their condition, answer to the
names of Wm. Middleton, Bull Pringle, Henry <
Pincknoy, Thomas Lowndes, &c, &c. Pom?
pey, Sambo, Cuff JO or January, would seem
far moro appropriate.
The minos proper aro several hundred yards
from tho house, and consist of a series of
d'tches, from throe to six feet deep, across an
old rico field of an .".rea of citrht acres, and ly?
ing directly upon tbo banks of tho Ashley
Rivdr. Here nearly ouo hundred mon may bo 1
seen busily employed with picks digging out
from tho sides of the ditches lumps of phos?
phate rock, varying in size from a pigeon's ecg
to a half bushel, the average size being about
that of half a brick, or a little larger. In wet
weather, and after hoavy rains, the ditches till
rapidly with water, which is baled out by
shovels or let off by narrow cuts, tho work
never being interrupted by that L.eans. The
rocks aro thrown up on thc top of tho ground
and aro taken by wheelbarrows to the drying (
ground near ?:e river, where they ate scatter- ,
ed out and 1 J fe to be cleansed and dried by tho ]
sun and rain. S> vcral hundred tona may be ,
see?lying there at ono time. When thc rocks 1
hav: become sufficiently clean and dry, they
ire gathered in'o a pde near the wharf, and ,
thence loidod into the vessels of the company, .
which carry them oither to tho !? ills at the .
root of Hasel-street, or to the Northern ports i
to fill orders-thia phosphate rock supplying i
the material for much of tho fancy manures ;
which our fanners, as well aa thoso^f tho ,
North, buy at very high prices.
The field of eight acres, which haa not beon
quite exhausted, ban already supplied about
Bix thouaand tona of phosph'tle rock. Tho
company own hundred? of acr 33 contiguous to
this field equally as rich in phosphate, and
containing enough to supply tho demand fer
yoara to come. Tho outorpri.ie is yet in its ,
infancy, aud the dally pivrlc -lion is nothing
to what it will be wbca tu? cmpany have put 1
upthc washing machine1. R'jil built tho rail- j
road which they now hivi- in c ?ntomplalion. (
Tho pcrcentago of phosphate in tho rock I
varies from forty to ninety per cent., thc aver- j
age being about fifty per cont. The rock ia, ;
therefore, not quite aa rich aa that found in
Bomo other diggings, but, owing to its larger J
size and thc shallow depth at which it ia found, ,
ia fully as prc''.: 'ble if not moro so. <
Thc company owning ita own diggings, vee. 1
gels and milla, and bcir?g managed by thor- j
ough practical buiiness men and machinists,
ts sure of succ?s.-;, and will probably, at no dis- ?
tant date, be one of thc wealthiest corporations '
in thc State. ,

[FROM OUB OWN CORRESPONDENT. ]
CoLuaniLA, January 20.-Tbe reception of tho
Attorney-General, D. H. Chamberlain, Esq., by <
the citizens of Abbeville, opou his recent visit t
to that place, has elicited from trat gentleman 1
the warmest expressions of surprise aud thanks. 1
He was not only treated with the greatest ?
oivility, but waa recoived with that kindness 1
ind hospitality which have always character- c.
ized South Caroliniana. Ho reports that there c
ia a very general desire to seo the laws enforced c
that peace and order may be preserved; also 1
that there is great harmony in the relations j
which cx.at botweon the white people and the t
freedmen. Mr. Chamberlain is satisfied that i
the community ia one of thc moat peaceable
md law-abiding in thc State, and that tho ba<1 1
reputation which has attached to the district .
is only due "to tho viciousness of some eight or t
:on recognized outlaws. c
Judge Vernon, who was holding court at Ab- j
?-oville, ia reported to have given tho big?c?l '
?atisfaction to the members of thc b.ir aad tao i
people generally. 1

yere presout. An entertainment waa also giv- ,
ju by Senator Lealio, to a largo number of 1
Wends, iu honor of the election of the Hon. 1
itoubon Fenton as United Statea Senator from j
Sew York. Tho speech of Mr. Leslie on the c
)Ccaaion waa highly complimentary to the sen- <
ttor elect, whom he 6aid he had the gratifica
ion of calling an lutimate peraooal friend, and l
vho, he felt assured, would bo a warm friend r
;o thc South. ?
The death of Hon. James A. Black ia deeply ?
.egretted by all clus3C3. Ho waa rr, jrded aa 1
i Conservativo, and aa a mediator would have *
j-eeD, had ho lived, 0:10 of fae most useful t
nembera of thc Le gislature.
Tho arguments 111 the Huprome Court on the ?
Bank of tb o State caso were concluded to-day.
Attorney-General Chamberlain followed Mr.
Campbell, and closed on the part of the Stats,
lt is impracticable to do justice in a synop?cal
report to the elaborate arguments of counsel.
Mere points would not satisfy the legal fi ater
ty and tbe general reader, not familiar with
the case, would scarcely appreciate the logical
compactness and research shown in the dis?
cussion. The decision of the court will proba?
bly not be made known until the tenth or fifth
tcenth of next month.
The mandamus in tho case of the City bf
Charleston w.llbe up again to-morrow, when
a motion will be made to have tho return of
the Board of Aldermen corrected.

[FROM OUB SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.]
WASHINGTON, January 18.-Since the rocoss
[bore have been but two moasures introduced,
?vbich are likely to be of any immediate im?
portance to thc readers of THE NEWS. Thef ;
first of these is thc bill providing for tho com?
pensation of Southern men who rendered sor- '
rices in good faith, while holding civil posi?
tions for a few months alter tho close of tho
war, but who subsequently rolinqmshed their
places rather than qualify in tho required form,
by taking tho oath commonly known as tho '
the "iron-clad." The bill for the relief of this
[argo class of persons, was introduced into
Lho Sonate by Mr. Sawyer, and is as follows :
A BILL AUTHORIZING PAYMENT TO BE MADE FOB
CERTAIN SERVICES RENDERED TO THE UNITED
STATES IN THE LATE INSURRECTIONARY STATES.
Be lt enacted by tte Sonate and Houso of
Representatives of the United states of Amer?
ica in Coucrcss assembled, That the heads of
the several executive d parivnonts bo, and
tuer aro heroby authorized to allow, and thore

offic-rs and employees of tho United States,

act approvod July second, eighteen hundred
und sixty-two, such sum or sums of monoy as i
may be found due to them, respectively, hy tho

tion of such services, or tho person claiming ?
:he same shall subscriba aud take before .-onie :
competent officer, an I tile, with the account.
;ho oath or affirmation prescribed by tho act
requiring au oath of allegiance and to support ?
th; Constitution of the United Slat es, inproved
August six, eighteen hundred and sixty-one;
ind il any person entitled to compensa'ion
miler this act ehall have died before tuc pas?
sage thereof, such oath or alli matiun may bo
?rat veil.
The moasnro is so clearly equitable that
hero is little doubt that it will speedily pass \
joth houses. The amount involved is not
arge; but as the class of persons who would
jo benefitted hy auch an act aro scuerp. iy in
?eedy circumstances, they wouid welcome thc !
joymc-t of what ia justly duo them fiom the i
?ovornment. 1

THE SUI MUBPHT CASE
is engrossing a deal of public attention just
now, for the reason that it has come to be re?
garded as a test case upon the decision of
which will depend, ia great measure, the pros?
ecution of a very largo number of analogous
claims. The question upon which tho case
hinges is simply whether a resident of Confed?
erate territory, which had been conquered and
occupied by the United States forces, is to bo
regarded in all cases as having been a public
enemy, hable to have his property seized and
used without compensation. The lawyers upon
the floor of the Senate have generally support?
ed this view; but the injustice of the 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 he the first
set speech delivered by a senator or represen?
tative from the South since tho roadm iss'on of
our Stato to representation, and as such, they
woro heard with merited nttention. R.
RADICAL CORRUPTION.
The Washington correspondent of the New
Yoik Herald, under dato of tho 18th instant,
says :
Thc first fissure in tho disentcgration of the
Radical party was displayed to-day, in the wild
writhings of tho Pacific Railroad rings over tho
exposures ot a Cincinnati Ridical paper of the
concoded corruption in and out of Comrross,
in regard to the granting of subsidies to West?
ern roads, aud in regard to tho attempted salo
of lands enough to form whole States by the
Interior Department, to certain speculators for
a mere song. These swindles have been the
object of General Grant's denunciation within
and for thc whole of a month past. They re?
ceived attention in Mr. Wash burne's e peech iu
tho House, when ho admitted that Iiis party
cxnced d i h corruption and scoundrels any
other party over born. These statements, for?
tified by proofs, a Western correspondent re?
produced in the paper in question. That corres?
pondent and paper, and tho New York Tribune,
which copied his letter, were made tho victims
to-day over whose shoulders General Grant and
Mr. Washburne were lashed in the most abu?
sive and violont manner by tho retained sena?
tors of the railroad lings before mentionod.
It was an cxiiibition which shocked and startled
the many Republican leaders who fi ive sought
to give a pause to tho rank corruption charac?
terizing their party on railroad legislation. For
mote than two hours did Harlan, Pomeroy and
Connoss unblushingly defend i liesa railroad
grants and land sales which the President elect
has declared will, if continued, rum the Repub?
lican party. Under tho pretext of asnailing
newspapers which have but sympathized with
Grant's desire to atop this torront of corruption,
these senators foully assailed that representa?
tion ot the facts for which Grant has made
himself roaponsible to the coan try. The assault
on tho papers was only a cover behind which
wero gatberod all tho force of tho consolidated
rings against the purposes of tho President
elect. In vain did Trumbull, Conkling, and
Morton, and other senators try to silence the
feud by interruptions of other measures. The
railroad senators had their say out; defondod
the swindles of tbe past and quoted them as
tho acts of the porty, and as the acts which
would ttark its future. Pomeroy says there
are twelve moro railroad bills, tilled to the brim
with subsidies, which are to be reported and
passed this session. Those subsidies tho best
mon in the party aro bent on defeating for the
party's salvation sake. To-day the gauntlet
was thrown down by tho railroad Congress?
men, that no railroad grantB should be defeat?
ed, but all should be added on to the divisions
which impeachment, civil tenure, negro sur?
frage, financial affairs and whiskey thieving
aro participating within the party.
THE EMPEROR'S SPEECH.
Tho sossion of tho French Senate and Corps
L?gislatif was oponed on tho 18th instant by
the Emperor Napoleon iu person, with a
speech from tho throne. He said tho task
beforo tho Logislaturo was a serious one, viz:
To conduct the government strong enough to
repress excesses, while accepting all the bene?
fits of thc liberty laws. Making concessions
to the press, and granting the right of public
meeting had thc effoct of preserving public or?
der, and thc fact that tho recent elections re?
sulted iu favor of tho government confirmed
the justico aud wisdom of these concessions.
The laws providing for a military organiza?
tion ha.! given strength and confidence to the
natiou, wnicii was now ready to meet all events
of tho rotare. Tho ?rmame it of tho forces
was perfect, the aiscuals were fillod with sup?
plies, tho reserves wore well drilled, and tho
organization of tho national guaid approached
completion, Fleets had been refitted, and for?
tifications ut all important po.nts were in eood
condition. Tho imperial wish waa realized.
France was so placed aa to vindicate her statua
in the destinies ol tho world.
Pi'aco has been heretofore sought not be?
cause of weakness, but to sustain thu honor of
thc state. Thc revolution in Spain bad not
altered the good relations of Franco with that
country. Ibo conference which had juat ter?
minated ita sessions, and which would extin?
guish a conflict which had bccjmo imminent,
was tho last grund act, the importance of
which all .should appreciate.
The members of "that body had all agrcod on
a principle calculated to restore friendship be?
tween tho Turks and Greeks. If the firm hopes
of success which they entertained should bo
realized, nothing would bo lett to trouble the
general harmony of the nations. Ibu cham?
bers would attend lo the internal development
of tho country mainly through its agricultural
interests, and might possibly seek to bring ,
about a reductiou in tho public charges.
The Emperor referred to tho approaching
ro-clection of tho Corps fiedslatif, congratu?
lated thc members on tho harmony which ex?
isted between the throne, thc Legislature and ,
people, and declared ho favored full and froo ,
discussion when it did not touch the constitu?
tion. That instromeut was above all debate. \
and he call u their attention to tho benefits
which it had conferred upon tho country.
Tho Emperor concluded as follows: "All ,
got crinneuts aro liable to error. Fortune de- .
clines lo amilo on all enterprises. But tho '
country knows no thought, no net of mioo
which has not been givm lo the glory of
Franco. It knows thal I first sought to create
a vigorous control of thc administration, and
to cnJaruC thc powere of deliberative assemblies
to provo that the true au iport of the govern- ,
ment is in the independence and patriotism of
thc great bodies of tho State. Soon tho na?
tion, in tho election, will make thc path which
all must follow, and will repeat its rejection <>f
revolution, and its dojirc to found tuo desti?
nies of France on the intimate uuian of honor
and liberty."
ANOTHER Fins a SMITHVILLE, N. C.-Yester?
day morning about 4 o'clock, the saloon of Mr. i
Raymoi d Sellers was discovered to be on fire, ;
and thc flames quickly spread to tho boat house I .
of Mesara. Lehew & Daniel, destroying both !
buildings. From a rough es amate, Mr. Sel- j 1
lers' Joss ia computed at about $300, and Messrs. .
Lchcw & Danid'e at about $o00. which includes i
thc building, tools, and a flue suif boat. Cap?
tain W. J. Potter had a boat lying near the :
boat house awaiting repairs; this wo was burn?
ed. Loas f 125. Mr. ?S. Gnssom had destroyed
a pilot boat which was worth $150 or more.
Ilia boa t was fastened so close to tho boat j
houso that it fell a prey to tho fiery flames.
Mr. P. Priolean lost a number of new doors,
an amount ot salt, and a seiue, r.-hicu had been
left in the establishment of Lehew & Daniel.
No insurance existed on any of tho lost pro?
perty. The lire is supposed to be the work of
incendiaries, whose object was plunder.

T?JtAJfJYX UJT X-XAMITAJX..
(From the London Review.]
We think it was Lamb who made a pathetic
complaint against the endearments and ex?
changes of married couples in his presence.
In his quaint style, the humorist let out that
on such occasions ho felt entirely subdued,
awkward and desolate, that he also-experienced
a sense of injury and as if there were an indi
rect attack made upon his peace of mind. We
should say that most persona of single views
would feel very much as Lamb did nnder simi?
lar circumstances; but there is another situa?
tion, not of so pronounced a kind, in which a
bachelor is often made conscious of certain
social advantages possessed by the married
man.
Even in good circles, a visitor muy observe a
constant flashing of signals between the mar?
ried guests. It is perhaps needhss to remark
that euch messages are confined, where there
is propriety, to wives and their respective hus?
bands; but, in any case, the fact of these going
about, combined with the consciousness that
he, of all assembled, has nothing in common
with tho notions that prompt them, render the
bas helor, if not for a moment unhappy, at least
impelled to fall back upon *hose cynical conso?
lations which have bean specially designed for
celibates. H i may note that if he addresses a
remark to Mrs. ?. who sits next to him, Mr. A.
at tho other end of the table seems to
have it conducted to him by a process of
sympathy w-ich we must leave mesmerists or
Ur. Homo to discover. When Mrs. A. replies,
A. looks up with a glance of intelligence,
although bis attention is due, and indeed is
given, to the conversation of those in his in?
mediate neighborhood. You must know that
what yon say and what you do will be subject?
ed on your departure to a dual criticism which
has the dangerous advantages of being neither
public nor responsible, and which, teiug the
sum of two experiences, one male and one fe?
male, often possesses an accuracy terrible for
the subject of it to contemplate. For instance,
supposing you are tbe sole bachelor at a
country house A few of tho men remain up
to smoke a hst cigar, having been almost au?
dibly cautioned (you can either bear or see the
notico) against "overstaying a short leave of |
absence.
Ono by one they disappear, except, perhaps,
an extra polite or courageous gentleman wbo
is good enouch to see you suffering from a dim
senso of injury, and remains longer than the
rest. At length he goes, and you are left.
Noxt morning you may be perfectly certain that
if you were thought worth a discussion, yon
have been thoroughly weighed, measured and
done for, in tuat mysterious conclave at which
thero are no witnesses. If voa only study or
draw out the men a little, ten to one you will
get from them what th* wives think of you,
and perhaps oven what they have said; for
there are men with clever wives who do not
object to give you a quiet prod of the bodkin
thoy are proud of. But tho wives-sweet hyp?
ocrites 1-conceal their opinion from most,
though if you watch their faces off guard you
catch a pjimpso of it. Here, without doubt,
the mimed man hos a social power far beyond
the isolated and "wild ass" independence of ?
the bachelor. It has been settled that the
wife selects her husband's frionds after mar?
riage. Sho weeds them at her own tasto, and
plants others more in accord with ber senti?
ments. And indeed she does this constantly,
to the end of the chapter; aud, as a rule, she is
right in her instincts. Fer a woman in this
way acts in a ci eat measure from instinct,
aided by the direct knowledge which abe ex?
tracts from her husband, and which has been,
perhaps, imparted to him in bursts of confi?
dence never intended for conveyance to ber.
THE 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 Suresnos, a village overlooking the
Bois de Boulogne. It did not arise trom the
msolent luxury of hio chateau. This is un?
bearable to many persons.
The chateau consista of five buildings, each
added seemingly to the otber as the master's
wealtb increased. The extensive grounds have
almost as many capricious excuses for spend?
ing money as Stove, the Duke of Bucking?
ham's estate. Th .TO are terraces, summer?
houses, bridges, p igGdas, filled with bronzes,
porcelains, old armor for summer-houses or
pagodas, statues and vosos for bridges and ter?
races.
The tables of the house ore covered with the
most expensive cashmere shawls. The arms
of tho choirs are covered with tho costliest
laces. The scandal consists in his inviting
the very same ladies invited to Compiogne,
aud 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
bo 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 bis iuvit-tion? wero accepted. But
people with retentive memories will recall tho
embarrassment with which fashionable society
was turo wu five or six years sin co upon the an?
nouncement of Worth's retirement lrom trade,
and his successor's intention tobe paid all bills
or bring suit on them. Thero wero $600,000 or
$800,000 duo him.
Princess de Motteraich owed, so the scanda?
lous chronicle said, $50,000, and ovou quiet
Ptiuceaa Clotilde appeared on the books as a
debtor to tho umou t of $20,000. I suspect
Worth waa emboldened to this step by the
success of his toa duri ute tho winier. He has
in a privalo drawing room, next to tho tryiug
on-room, tea served every afternoon and even?
ing. He invites none to outer but tho moat
aristocratie cus tornera. This is an honor
eagerly soughl.
At his chateau ho has boon inviting theac prin?
cesses ano marchionesses to tot at lour o'clock
P. M. (tim new fashion). Ho received thom
wearing flexible bmta reaching to tho knee, a
broad bolt around his waist, gloves with cuffs
long as a dragoon's, and a flexible hat under his
arm. In his vestibule wero six footmen dress?
ed as Chasseurs. Ibo tea was served from
Btlver urns in Sevres' porcelain cups. I be?
lieve Worth is au Englishman. Ia it not odd
an Englishman should bo the arbiter of |
fashiou in Paris ?
luisa TENANTS ANS LANDLORDS.-Ejectment
notices :.re required to be served in Irelaud
under the protection of a large force of the
police. At a recent trial, an account was
given of the extraordinary proceedings adopt?
ed to remove tho tenants on tho property of
Archdeacon Unison, near B.iliinasloc. An at?
tempt to servo the notices having on a previ?
ous occasion been restated, a body of eighty
constables, under the direction of a magis?
trate, repaired to tho lauds. After an ineffec?
tual attempt to induco tho police to permit
tho notices to be served, tho ba i iff and under
agent went forward to affix them to the doora
of tho tenants' houses, under protection of a
number of tho police, and wore instantly as?
sailed by a mob of several hundred persona,
the men throning atoms and tho women tuba
of filth and lime ni a liquid state. There were
cries that they would ma te it another Scully
iffair. Scully, it will bo recollected, was killed
by a mob while endeavoring to servo notico?.
1'ho under agent and head constable were se?
verely beaton. Ultimately tho notices wore
nailed on tho nousea, thc whole body of police
being necessary to drive the people back. Tho
tenants assert that their landlord wished to
change the arrangement about the let:ing, and
to charge them thirty shillings au acre lor a
bog they reclaimed, uud hod before held root
