The discovery OF valuable phosphate
deposits in the neighborhood OF Charles
ton, S. c., will no doubt prove q great
thing for the city. These beds are OF
great extent and value, and lie so near
the surfsce as to be readily taken out and
at small expense. at is not easy" says
a correspondent OF the Tribune, =" to de-
termine the commercial value of the raw
materisl; that, OF course, being ques-
ton that must be largely affected by the
relations of supply and demand. The
fact. however, of the sudden opening to
clm merce or these inmenas deposits can
hardly fail to reduce the price of an arti-
Gle for which we have hitherto had to
rely only on few and distant sources.
The increased supply Of the raw ma
teri6l ought to stimulate the msnufae-
ture, and enable the farmer 10 buy his
fertilizers on q more liberal scale aud at
cheaper rates. Il is worth while TO
note how far the English are ahead Of
our ooultrymen In the manufacture and
use Of phosphstes. ststistiGs shQw that
the consumption in England alone Is

the excellence Of her hsrbOr accommoda-
tions, Charleston shoald be the metropo-

RAILROAD SALE.
The Wills VaIIey Railroad Conn
pany the Purchaser.

From the Mobile Register .is =
Yesterday was the day fixed by adver-
tisement for selling the Northwest and
South west Alabama Railroad. The sale
was under a mortgage held by the State,
executed in 1860 for S21s,00O loaned TO
the road by the State from the three per
cent. fund. We understand that the sale
was the result of an amicable under
standing between the owners OF the
road and the State authorities. The
road was purchased by John G. Stanton,
of Boston, on behalf of the Wills Valley
Railroad Company, for the sum Of S3lS.-
600. 1t seems that this form Of disposlng
OF the road was the simplest way to ac-
oomplish two Important and essential
points, viz: the payment to the State OF
the principal and interest of the loan
ab1ve referred to, and the perfection OF
the title to the new company proposing to
build the road from Chattanooga to Nh
ridian. This company had previously
purchased up all the other Indebtedness
against the road; so that it has now 8
clear title to the road and all its fran
chises. The road is now to be called the
Alabama and Chattanooga Company.
Ex. Gov. Patton 10 the President, aud the
road from Chattanooga to Meridian will
be built Immediately.

AN EsHUslAy MOTHER.
A Eegress Burns Two of Her
Children to Death.

We are informed OF most fend;sh af.
fair which occurred near Dresden, Weak
ley county, Tenn, one day last week. A
negro woman, formerly the slave Of Mr..
Wm. Jones, burnt two of her children to
death. The negress lived in cabin
come distance from the other houses on
the farm, and was always regarded as s
very vicious negro. She dug hole in
the ground near her cabin, in which she
placed both her children, covered it
over with plank, and then built upon
II large brush fire, and actually cooked
the children alive. The same day
some citizsns discovered the facts, which
they at once made known to the
sheriff Of the county, who proceeded to
the place and effected her arrest. After
examination before q magistrates court,
she was committed to j all, at Dresden, to
await trial at the next term Of the Grim
insl Court for that county. In reply to
some questions as to why she did such
horrrid act, she replied that her children
would not obey her, and she Vas deter
mined to make them do so, if she had to
kill them.
1t is generally believed by all that she
will be hung, and many, we learn, were
in favor OF infiictlng the same punish
ment upon her that she had inflicted
upon her children.

A Washington dispatch to The Louis

ship for the forty-first Con gress is being
sgitated, though very quietly, and the
merits Of the different candidates are
being cRnvsssed. II is well settled that
no candidate from the West will be
urged, except, perhaps, as compliment
10 some member, whom his colleagues
viii delight to honor. The most prOlni-
Dent aspirsDts seem TO be Aessrs. Blaine,
Of Maine, Dawes and Banks, but some
new man may carry OF the honor5 be-
fore the election is over. The fact that
Aessrs. Dawes and Banks are bott5
named, splits the Massachusetts deleg3
ton. 1t seems to be agreed upon thak
the election OF Speaker will take place
in March, when the fOrty-first Congress
hfst commences.
