A GREAT DISCOVERY IN THE TREATMENT OF NODULAR PHOSPHATE OP LI ?E.-From recent .experiments In this country and France, lt now appears, without doubt, that when nodular phos? phates of lime are heated to a redness In a pile or Win, and seawater let drip from the top on the heated mass, a most wonderful change takes place. The Charleston nodular phosphate-, in their natural state, arc unsaleable and worthless asa fertilizer, Tor they are so strongly united lu particles thai the actiou of time bas had no effect oh them. By the simple treatment of Ere and .sea water, however, a most wonderful change takes place-their great adhesion is destroyed, disintegration takes place, and thc bidden treas? ures that have for years lain dormant are yielded up and, by asslmmailon, rendered able to enrich thc plants or the earth. Under the process re? ferred to, lt he cernes what might be termed alka? line phosphate or lime, forming a superior ter tlllzlng agent that in a few years, we are told, will supersede those now ia use. It never goes back to .Rs insoluble form In the ground, and the fourth year of its use will show greater results than the first. In 186S, a patent was obtained by a gentleman of this city, fur the treatment of phosphates after thc manner above described. Since that time .experiments have been carried on in this country ?nd France with the most wonderful results. Its action in the earth was well noted, and it was found that it became more soluble by the lapse of time. When treated according to the plan prescribed in the patent, and then gronud an#put iu bags, it can be sold at $26 per ton. .At this price farmers will be enabled to purchase xaore largely, ano by mixing it with compost, form a rertilf'-- Miaj will give a body to their land, and be much more lasting and beneficial in its effects tuan the higher priced articles now offered to the public. AMUSEMENTS. Peg Woffington. Tho dramatized version of Peg Woffington, one of Charles Reade's most successful novels, is not remarkably full of incident, but the leading idea-the development of thc contradictory traits of the famous actress-ls worked out; with vigor and completeness. The dialogue, moreover, is b'rlg htand pointed, full or sharp sayings aud verbal felicities; Its neat delivery was In itself a highly meritorious fcatare of the performance. Peg Woffington ls a complex and yet a simple character. Spoken of as one who is "an excellent actress on the stage and a great actress on" of it," she ls alway*; unaffected in spirit, and in thc midst of the frivolities of her life craves, as thc boon most to bc desired, the honest love of a true man. All the changing phases of this "laughing lady" were charmingly depicted by Miss Keene, whose acting, as an actress off the stage, was thoroughly consistent and as graceful as lt was piguan'e, and true to natnre. All thc moods of fancy were falthru'.ly portrayed, and thc spirit or the true woman-who bids her lover swear that "he never loved berorc, whether lt be true or not,:" and who is at once all heart and apparently heartless-shone through the whole creation, making lt appear to bc a vivid reality rather rhau an otTspring of the artistic imaginations. Mr. Mordaunt played the character or James Triplet, Author, with the ease and attention to details which have already made him a prime fa? vorite ia Charleston. The poer artist, who writes comedies and waits la thc ante chambers while bis wire and children are starving, has a sore road to travel. A brain which enables him to write anythitig, au epic or an epitaph, and a skill which teaches lum to palat cither a portrait ora signboard, cannot find bread for his family with? out the assistance of his good angel, Peg Wof? fington. Mr. Mordanat was pathetic and earnest, yet easy and simple. No better acting, ia Its line, has been seen upon our stage. Mr. Otis was frank, out spoken and polished as Ernest Vane, and Mr. Stuart {Sir Ovaries Poman? der) was an excellent fopllng. Thc somewhat un? interesting, although injured wire [Mrs. vane,) was well and touchingly played by Miss Ander? son, and all the lesser characters, to thc least, were well tilled. H/simachus (Triplet's son,) was capitally played. Hearty applause followed the play all through, and the third act, when Peg, In her endeavor to cheer the poor author, makes ready -'the ban? quet," nurses the baby and dances a jig, was lond lv applauded. In this scene, however, the acting of Miss Keene was the least bit forced. This ls the only fault the most severely critical contd find, and it was richly redeemed by many exquisite touches of true and tender feeling, especially In ; tho famous scene In which Mabel Vane, pleads to Peg for the lost love of her husband. To-night Bouclcanlt's grand comedy of London Assurance will be produced, with Miss Keene as Lady Gay Spanker. Rabin!-Magic-Gifts. To-night will positively be the last chance to , tee the great magician, Rubin!, at Hibernian < Hall, and to share in the distribution of the girts which he scatters with so reckless a profusion amongst his audience. Go by all means. , General Dramatic Gostip. Sell Warner, with Miss Lillie Eldridge, ls play? ing high tragedy In Baltimore. The Hutchinson Family are singing In Florida. Ed IT in Forrest ls expected to perrorm In Rich- < mond at an carly day. Miss Charlotte Thompson is at Floyd's Varie? ties, New Orleans, drawing full houses. Mrs. Oates' Burlesque Opera Troupe, now in Richmond, will inaugurate a summer season iu St. Paul, Minnesota, on the 15th of June. The Richmond Whig calls upou Manager John T. Ford for an engagement In that city with the celebrated comedian, Joseph Jefferson, whose ; early triumphs were in Richmond. The Richings English Opera Troupe appeared In a new opera, "Lurline," a few nights since, In Mobile. It was brought out with new effects, costumes, Ac, entire, and was successfully re? served. The New York Dramatic troupe, now playing lu I Alabama, will shortly return to the metropolis. 1 Atlanta, Augusta, Macon, Columbus and probably 1 Savannah and Charleston, will receive a visit prior to their departure. Mr. Edwin Booth, in his new rendering of "Mac? beth," In his theatre la New York, dispenses with the visible presence of the ghost or Banquo ba thc banquet scene, but "seems to fill the empty chair by his acting," so as to make the scene much more Impressive than in the old way. O. B. Collins advertises for a full dramatic and variety company for a seaton of six months, 1 to travel by rall, and to perform under canvass, 1 stage and scenery to be carried with the concern. 1 It is not stated what particular route the exped?* . tlon will take, but as Mr. C. has more than once 1 "gone up" in this section, we venture the asser tlon that he will seek a more congenial clime < than the "Sunny South." 1 A showman, writing to the New York Clipper, ' comes down In sledge hammer style on thc way the show people are treated in Southern cities. 1 Speaking of Savannah, he says: "We were fortu? nate, for, with the exception of the Oates'Troupe, ' nobody has made a dollar there for some time 1 past, and 'tis said that John T. Ford lost heavily in trying to establish a theatre. Grau went up 1 there, for the nlnety.ninth time, on the Satnr- 1 lay preced?: g our opening. He, after making 1 the far South, sent his company Into Georgia ' under thc style of the "Associated German Artist;." But that didn't work, and at the close of Hie Savannah engagement, six writs ' were served upon the properties and wardrobr, 1 and the sheriff has them yet. The unfortunates 1 replevened their Individual property and silently stole away. Grady's old-fashioned circus also came to grief, and left considerable plunder in thc bands of thc same official tnat negotiated with Grau. Patti was to follow us in Savannah, and they commenced thc sale of scats In tue mid? dle of our week. Savannah and Augusta particu? larly, the State or Georgia generally, and, in fact, the whole South, hos been 'showed to death' this season." After going through Georgia generally, the writer comes back on Sa? vannah, and winds up as follows: "In Sa? vannah, for Instance, we paid $250 per week for the theatre and we got the bare building. We had to deposit $50 at thc gas office before the gas conld be turned on, hire a man to clean and light the theatre, others to work the stage, ushers, police, (you are compelled by city ordinance to hire the latter at $4 per night.) State license $25; connty license, got through acquaintance at $l 60 per day; United States license 2 per cent, tax: $40 forbin boards (where I gave ten or twelve tickets two y ears ago:) $2 50 per day for thirteen people at a secrnd rate hotel oue week, with tires, Ac, extra, and baggage, hauling, omnibus, van wagon, ?c., at double the rates prevalent in the eastern and middle States." Charleston, certainly, is not quite as bad as this. GCSE TO PUCES.- The schooner Eliza Piko, of Eastport, Me., which sprung aleak la conse queuce or striking on the bar, in going to tea cn thc 6th February last, laden with phosphates, cot? ton, pig iron, clay and other merchandise, bouid hence tor Philadelphia, and had to be run ashore on Long Island beach to prevent her sinking In deep water, has slate gone to pieces, and frag? ments of vessel and cargo have floated ashore. RKAL ESTATE SALES.-The following sales of real estate were made yesterday: By Messrs. Leitch A Bruns, a lot and wenden building In Franklin street for $1500; a lot and dwelling on the northwest corner or Bee and Rutledge streets for $4050; house and lot la Smith street ror $375-all cash. By A. C. McGillivray, a lot or land and tene? ment building, on the northwest corner or Society and Anson streets, for $3300-one-third cash. NOVEL MODE OF SUBDUING A PRISONER. Yesterday, as we are Informed, two colored police? men arrested a colored mau near thc Charleston Hotel, who resisted their efforts to take him to tbe Guardhouse. He was so disorderly that par? ties in the crowd which had collected advised the policemen to club him, whereupon one or the policemen cried out that he did not want to usc a club, and then quietly butted the prisoner, knack? ing him senseless to the ground. He was then taken to pr.son cn a dray. MEETING OF TUE CITY COUD OIL. Action, in Regard to the Annual Fire mans' Parade.
