NEW PHOSPHATE FAoToRY-A. Lee Cum
Minis has commenced the erection at
Smyrana Landing of building 80 by so
feet, for the purpose of manufacturing
phosphate. The manufacture will be after
the formula of Andrew Sisco, who has been
| experimenting for several years with his
receipt and claims mixture of superior
merit. This is a proper place for its loca-
ton, and should our creek be cleaned out,
as is hoped and expected by the Govern
ment, other and important industries will
doubtless spring up. The phosphate is
getting to be one of the heavy businesses
of our country, and the increase i'll our
| grain products attest better than any thing
else can their value. Our Maryland ex-
changes each contain the advertisements
of from eight to dozen different chemical
fertilizers, candidates for public favor,
