land. Since then, every shipment OF the rock
has increased the interest evinced, and just
now, after the expectation OF several thouaan
tons, all the Northern States of this confedera-
cy, England and Europe generally, are cxer-
cised to a great degree on the subject. 1t is
announced in some of thu New York papers
that Professor Holmes, of our city, by invita-
tion Of the National Academy OF Sciences, has
lately delivered before that academy, in Wash
ington, an interesting account of this remark

The pioneer in the development Of this an
terprise is, we believe. the charleston Mining
and Manufacturing Com pany." It is composed
OF the wealthiest, most prominent and practi-
cal Philadelphians. They have succeeded in
obtaining new charter at the last session of
the South Carolina Legislature, by which they
were permitted to increase the capital Of the
company and to establish it's principal Office
for business either at New York, Philadelphia
or Baltimore. At special meeting Of the
stockholders, held in Philadelphia on the 28th
qlt, the capital stock was increased to one
million OF dollars, and the principal office OF
business located at Philadelphia, Pa. Mr.. Ar
thur 81. Locke, the we'll known and highly
esteemed secretary Of the company, remains
in Charleston for the present in charge of the
clerical department.
The works on the Ashley are to be prosecu-
ted with vigor, and new diggings will shortly
be opened; several steam washers to be imme-
diately erected. and the railroads to be built
furnished with T iron. A new channel Of
trade has thus been suddenly opened to our
Charleston merchants; the weekly exports OF
''phos-rock" has incr@ ased; full-rigRed ships
are at this moment loading with the ''stuff," !"

ley. Ashley Ferry and Marysvle are destined
to become inland towns OF South Carolina

In the last notice you were kind enough to

be glad to ges them as soon do possible. I
Thought possibly your announcement OF our
