A BRUTAL OUTRAGE. - A fnw days ; go a lady went to Trial Jnstlce Magrath to have a notice to quit served upon two unprofitable tenants resid? ing in her yard" The notice was served, and one of the t?nants*, a female, applied to Trial Justioe McKinlay for a. warrant or arrest against the lady, for a .breach of thc peac-j. This warrant Was placed In the hands of an officer named Carson, who arrested the lady In the midst of her family, without altowln.T her to ste the warrant, or even to change her dress. Carson called the lady "a rebel." and used the lowest and most brutal lan? guage. He also seized the lady by the arm so vio? lently as to leave the marks of hl3 Angers. The lady was dragged before Trial Justice McKinlay, who read her a long lecture on the crime of re? sisting au officer of the law, and made her give bonds to keep the peace-which she had not vio . lated. This, was not enough. The daughter of the lady had expostulated with Carson when he went to arrest her mother, and she, also, was cursed and 'threatened. A warrant of arrest was patched up against her, Carson slgulng the affidavit. No trial justice could be found to sign the warrant, but the officer proceed? ed at once to enforce lt, and dragged the young lady before Trial Justice Magrath, who was much surprised, as he had not Issued the warrant and knew nothing of the matter. To his great as tentshment,however, he found that his name had, without any authority, been put upon the back of the wiajfvant. The young lady was Immediately released. No more outrageous proceeding than this has been known, under even th? trial jus'Ice isystem whloh gives room for so much injustice and oppression. An attempt will be made to pun lah the oflelal bullies as 'hey dsserve. Hotel Arrival?, November 24. PAVILION HOTEL. John W. Autry, John Easterling, Oraoge burg; Mrs. E.

Ia the rear 183" the deposit of old rocks oi curious- formatlon near the banks of thc Ashley River fln-t attracted Hie attention or scientific men, and subsequent investigation showed that these rocks were to be found at numerous points along the coast, between the Santoc and Comba hee Rivers. These curiosities, as they were then thought, were sought after and investigated prin? cipally by geologists prosecuting their researches, and for many years they were regarded merely ns an additional Held in which men of science conld push forward their inquiries Into the age and for? mation or our mother rai th. This investigation, a few years back, remited iu the discovery of the fertilizing properties or these deposits, and what had hitherto been deemed but curious and unique geological strata, suddenly became the source of ? great and growing local industry and trade. The fertilizing qualities of tue phosphates, at first strongly doubted, and only established arter the most rigid tests and strictest analysis, has given a new value to some of our worn-out lands, and opened a vast and lucrative field to capital and energy. The first cargo of phoshates was shipped to Baltimore on the 14th of April, 1868, by the Wan? do Company or Charleston, followed four days later by a much larger one from the Charleston Mining And Manufacturing Company. Since that time, throughout the whole region where these deposits Ile, spacious buildings, extensive works, powerrul machinery, long wharves and branches from-adjolning railroads have sprung up as if by enchantment; and proralncn' among the causes which have contributed to our recuperation rrom the effects of the war, aud our subsequent proi perlty, has been the developoment of our phos? phate resources. The vast amount of valuable de? posits, lylnj a few reet beneath the surface, along the "Grc-at Carolina Marl Be l," have drawn over six millions or capital and crowds or energetic men rrom all parts or the North, and attracted the attention ot saoans In all quarters or the globe. The average thickness or the strata or de? posits !s rrom tirteen to eighteen laches, and with an average of but fifteen inches, six hundred tons from an acre can be calculated upon as a very moderate yield. There are several diggings now turning out from eight hundred to one thou? sand tons to the acre, and when lt ls considered that the crude phosphate tirings rrom $6 to $7 In the market, the value or the discovery will bo readily understood. Numerous companies and joint-stock associa tlons with large capital have been? formed, and are stUl forming, for the development of this new source of wealth. Plantations in this vicinity, which just after the war were knocked down under the sheriff's hammer for a mere song, have rapidly risen in public esteem, and now command high prices. By means of fertilizers, composed or a mixture of these phosphates and other materials, lands worn out . by continual replanting have been renewed In energy and strength, aud the loss of animals and labor, occasioned by tho late war, has been lu a manner maHc good. The amount of Mich manures sold herc and shipped from this port during the past, yeur reaches a wonderful figur?. During the last month, alone, one company had over twenty vessels plying be? tween this porn and philadelphia loaded with phosphates. Their beneficent effect upon soils of all kinds and crops of every description is now beyond cavil, and the steadily lucreasing demand for them shows how well their value ls apprecia? ted by the planter. The efforts now in progress to develop the phosphate beds are worthy o? the magnitude or the discovery. The followiag companies are pro? minent In the work: THE CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA MININO AND MANUFACTCRINO COMPANY. This company was organized In 1S07. and was the pioneer lu developing the extent and value or :he phosphates. Their oillcc ls at No. 132 Walnut itreet, Philadelphia, In Which city the president, dr.

A regular meeting of the St. George's Socie? ty was held on Wednesday last, the president, H. P. Walker, Esq., In the chair. Tlie regular business of the meeting being dis? posed of, thc president announced the death of Captain James Welsman. one of the oldest mem? bers of the society, which had taken place since their last meeting, when thc following preamble and resolutions, submitted by Mr. Henry Gourdin, were unanimously adopted: Thc St. George's' Society records, with senti? ments or sorrow, tho death of Captain James Welsman, one or its oldest and most cherished members. He was born at Sidbury, Devonshire, England, on the 13th November, 1784, and arrived in Charleston In May, 1803, In the British brig Burnthorn, from Exmouth, with some ten othor passengers, all of whom he survived. In conse? quence of the failure to receive a credit which his father had provided for him, he was with a shil? ling only In his possession when he landed in Charleston, and his first employment was on board of a Sullivan's Island salt packet. Under the advice, however, of Mr. Lewis Ogler, then a warden of St. Philip's Church, he was apppren tlced to Mr. DeLaney, then a pilot ror the bar and harbor or Charleston; and soon arter became his copartner. In 1817 they, with the late Mr. Wil? liam E. Snowden, built thc brig Catharine, and taking the command of her, after two voyages to Europe, he engaged lu the West India trade, sail? ing chiefly between the two ports tt Charleston and Havana. He retired from the Bea In 1832, and became a successful ship owner, having been Interested In several of the largest and finest ships owned in the city and engaged In the Eu? ropean trade. He lost the larger portion or the handsome fortune that he had acquired,during the war, and retiring altogether rrom business after the war, he lived In contented cheerfulness until the 26th June last, when he died at the advanced age of 85 years 7 months and ?3 days, an example of persevering and successfnl enterprise and in? dustry, of cheerful manhood in the reverses that it was his lot to endure, at different periods of his life, and or a peaceful and quiet old age. There? fore., Resolved, That the memory of Captain Wels? man. for forty-one years a member or the St. George's Society, will long be cherished by its members; and that his death In the maturity or a well spent ure, leaves us little to regret but bis absence rrom us. Resolved, That a copy of these proceedings be sent to bis family. The meeting then adjourned, THANKSGIVING OBSERVANCES.-The suspen? sion of business on Meeting street, Hayne street and the Bay was very general yesterday, but in King street only partial.
