A SHOT rx THE DARK.-TWO boys were sleep?
ing together last Tuepday uight, at Rev. A. Tourn?
er Porter's school, when oue or them was aroused
from sleep by feeling a strangejhand ppon his
face. Owing to a IUCKV preseutlment of some?
thing^ strange about to b-tppen, he had placed a
loaded;pistol under bli'pillow, and, seeing a
strange man in the room, he started up from thi
bed and drew his weapon. Hie robber, who evi?
dently did not know the course, aud was rum
hiing about.for plunder, turned around and made
tracks, thc boy pursuing. The flight led through
the entry Into a piazza, where the robber evident?
ly expected to find a staircase, bur. was disap?
pointed. He now turned on his pursuer, who
fired upon him as* he stopped and seemed to be
reeling for a weapon. The place was ge'ting
rather hot, and, not caring to risk the chance of
another shot, the robber jumped over the banis?
ter to the ground, ami continued his flight. He
was pursued some distance down the street, and,
from the blood In his tracks, it is supposed that
he must be severely wounded. Notwithstanding
the wound, the guilty party has not yet been dis?
covered. Mr. Porter's school has no: been rrou
bled-ra "a burglarious way" since this affair.

PALACE CARS.-Our attention has been call?
ed to .several new cars now running on the North?
eastern Railroad, which, in elegance of finish and
thc accommodation to travellers, equal anything
of i he sort it has ever been our good fortune to
meet with, lu the interior, they are richly fitted
up. Thu panelling is highly polished, and, ls
some plac'-i, beautifully Inlaid, and the seats,
with their soft velvet cushions and a sleep-induc?
ing curve in the Uiek, are wonders of cosy com?
fort. They were Imported lately by the company
from Harlan Hollingsworth A Co., car builders at
Wilmington, Delaware, and are now making
their first trips between this city and Florence.
MALICIOUS MISCHIEF.-Grace Hamilton was 1

determined to marry Ralph, who is a young man
if thirty, and boarding with her. Upon the first
mgges'ion of such a thing Ralph became obstrep- J
erous and threatened to leave the house. Grace ;
retaliated, and levied upon his clothes. Lpon his (
attempting to take them, she threatened to spilt (
his head with an axe, when he left In earnest. ,
Grace after awhile told hun he could have his ,
lothes, and when he went to get them he found
them til torn to shreds. The arrest and triar
(vere the consequence. There was no evidence to .
sustain the assault, bnt the clothes torn to shreds I .
ip jke volumes for the malicious mischief, and
Grace owned up to lt. She was sentenced to pay
J. fine of Si and Costs, and also pay Ralph for his
slothes, which she willingly did in preference to . f
going to jail for ten days.
TUB GALE YESTERDAY.-Boreas, the blus-11
cering railer, did his best yesterday to crack his
plaguey cheeks. Signs clattered and c. ca iced;
reocesfei: prone to the ground, and the pictures
:>f (he last circus went sailing to the moon ; um
srellas were turned outside in, bats scudded
?long thc street, and the hardiest pedestrian was
?lad to get under the lee of projecting buildings.
The chance began on Tuesday night, wben the
weather became cloudy with a fresh breze.
Early yesterday morning lt rained heavily, the
wind blowing from the northeast. By eleven
o'clock the wind had Increased to a furious gale,
which lasted for about two hours, when the
weather moderated. All day: however,lhere was
? stiff breeze, with au occasional disgusting gust;
Dne of those of which it. was said De gust-ibus
ion est disputandiim.
While the gale was at its height, several coast
;rs,among which were the schooners Sallie BLsscll,
tVm. and John and others, dragged their anchors
tdd were' in danger of going upon the Battery
lea-wsjpS?gome of them got off, as the wiud
nod erat ed, with the aid of a tug, and the others
nan?ged to make sall and.ran up the river. The
injpj Carnaje don? them was the smashing of
ome of their smail boats, and a compound
racture ' of some spars. The steam teg J. R.
.tapies towed off the schooner William aud John
fter the latter had slipped her anchor.
ID the harbor the sea had a high old time, and
he white caps were as conspicuous as white hats
rere-not long since in thc New l ork sto-k ex
hange. The waves ran heavily and broke across
he Battery, treating the passers-by to au unex
>ected,salt water bath.
LoDgstretchcs. of fencing were blown down In
fleeting street and In the western portion of the
?Hy. Ou Adder's wharf a colored man was upset
lythe wind aud rolled comp etely aver, and in I
Evutledge avenue a conservatory or hothouse was |
ilotfn upon au upper piazza. No other casualties'
lave beeu reported.

TELE PROCESS OF MAXISO ACID.
: \
Visit to the Klines-Thc Washer and
Factory-Extensive Improvements..
A delightful drive of nine miles, along a
fine road, and through a co-ntry resplendent
with ali the beauties of autumn, brings the visitor
upon j phosphates Intent to thc works of the Wan?
do Mluing and Manufacturing Company, which
have lately betr erected on/lie Ashley \Rlver, In
addition lo the extendive establishment owned by
the compauy in the upper part of the City of
Charleston.
They are situated on a bold curve of the river,
which here sweeps close to thc high laud, and
affords an admirable tlte for the extensive wharf ]
built out to the channel. Vessels of the largest
capacity can He at all times at the wharr, and
every convenience for loading and unloading is
here ready for use.
SULPHURIC ACID CHAMBER.
The first and most conspicuous object which.at?
tracts the attention of the visitor is the large
building, lately completed, for the manufacture
of sulphuric acid. It ls substantially built on a
brick foundation, and ls one huudred and seventy
five feet in lengih by forty feet lu width, rising
forty feet to ibe eaves of the roof. At the end of
the building, next the river, an addition of smaller
dimensions has been made, which contains the
furnaces, and at the further end there ls a square
tower, whose castellated summit adds much to
the picturesqueness of the sc^ne. Entering the
building, the large brick, furnace ls to be seen,
painted white, and rising iu a pyramidal shape to
the height of eighteen feet. At the base of thefar
oace are twelve iron doors,! hrough which the brim?
stone and nitre are thrown. The furnace can
consume'between four ?nd six thousand pounds
jf brimstone, and a proportionate quantity of
aitrc, in tweutyibur hours. The sulphur is thrown
in with shovel-", but thc nitre ls placed In pots,
wltlch slide easily Into ihe doors. Upon being
gnlted, the heat of the burning sulphur effectu
illy drives off the whole of tiic nitric acid or the
iltrates in the pots. The nitric acid, os soon as
?volved, comes in contact with the sulphurous
?cld from the burning sulphur, and is instantly
lecomposcd by lt. Upon now looking into thc
ivens or burners, the upper part appears to be
Hied with ruddy fume?. These, together with
he sulphurous acid, pass up the chimney, which
:onnects the furnace with the mixing chamber;
The latter is a large lead cubs, of eighteen feet
ivhich is of sufficient capicity <o suit the work of
he furnace, lu this chamber, thc il Uferen t gases
ribing from the furnace meet thc oxygen, and
.vhirl around in a sort of chemical waltz
intll they are thoroughly mixed. When
his ls ace irapllsbed, they pass on to the
jreat receiving chamber where the sul?
phuric acid is collected. This chamber is
nade of heavy sheet lead, and ls 175 feet laug,
IO feet wide, and 20 feet blgli. It rests In a pan
ibout2feetin depth, which receives and holds
ill the sulphuric acid as lt is generated. This
-an can contain over 4000 carboys, and the acid
s drawn from lt by an ingeniously contrived
lyphon. The chambers are both regulated by the
tppearance of -'the tongue" w,th which they arc
hrnlshed. When this tongue ls corrugated like
.hatof a typhoid fever patient-lt shows that tho
mamber ls lu a bad state, and whea smooth that,
t ls.working all right. The tumbling box at the
lop of the tower is also an ingenious a flair, for
supplying the chamber with a certain quantity of
Tater. It has two compartments, one of which
s always under the spout. As soou os a certain
juantity of water falls into one compartment, the
irelght causes it to upset Its contents luto the
?eceptacle below, and the act of upsetting brings
he other compartment under the spout to be
Hied in turn.
These works have been in operation ror a little
iver two weeks, and ruo night and day. Tney
vere built under the supervision or Mr. T. D. Dot
erer, the superintendent or the company, and
rere constructed on thc Butterworth plan. Thc
cid turnad ont is or the high est grade? ?nd will
e used"ln the manufacture of superphosphates'liri
he adjoining building. The runniug of the dlf
erent chambers 'requires jhji grea$$t skill aud
losest attention, and the ne?t and rapid manner
a which the work progresses speaks highly for
he buainesjtalepts ofai?e superintendent, p
I - n-AE ^IlKCffl OPBKATIOX* -'
A short walk along the railroad track-laid down
>y the company, through -a country beautifully
raried by hill ami dale, brings the visitor to the
?pening In Irgrand old prob forest whore 'the min
;rs are at work. The track ruusjUuwog'h the middle
if the mines, and along tho' sides of lt mere is
brown imja?-inimenss'breastwork of phosphate
?ock ready for transportation to the buildings.
Sear 2000 tons ofcrnde phosphate are here piled
ip, although tilts mine is but Af why opened. The
nincrs dig cn thaground iu long trenches, throw
ngt?Vsml behind theui as they proceed. "lathis
nanner every loot .of ground la gems over and
?verje' particle of phosphate^ collected. A strong
land of wood cutters go ahead ofthe miners,
?lear?ng aiv.iy the thick underbrush, and through
int tlte day their blows e. ho through the woods.
(Vheeharrows, cirr'f?, h^evp'-cks and ax?s are
readily ?>?l'*d, and the huge Biles of phosphates
?lowly Increase under t'ie'steady"work. Over one
lund red"-hands areemploycd Al the mines, who

?hey dig, aud everything goes ou lu thc most com
rilete anti economical manner.
From these raiues thc.crude rock Ls tak?a by
:ars, drawn by: mules along the railroad, to the
ivasher.' Thc ours are of large size, u?atiy made,
ind cohsiriicted especially for this work. Ahiv
ing at the washer, they are drawn.up an inclined
plane, and their loads dumped Into thc large re?
ceptacle for -them. The wanher,T* driven by a
ipleudld englt:o of twenty-horse power, built in
rjharlc6ton, by Eason A Brother, and' In a short
lime the "plioinhates come out OH olean rock,
from thc wash-r, a small railway ls built to take
the clean rook tu the factory. Thia Is almost as
large a? thc. sulphuric ucld works, and will be
completed shortly. ' All the sulphuric acid made
here will be use 1 in tUJs building l:i thc manufac?
ture of super^hosyhntesaud fertilizers. Another
railroad track leans from the factory down to the
head of the whnxf,ywhere the vess?ls take In their
cargoes, on tlie>way, tho track passes through a
jmall shed,' in willoh a set of scaler is neatly
llxed. By means of this the weight of the phos?
phate is ascertain *d without unloading the car.
The settferherit of; the" company, Altogether,
makes ono of thc finest pictures to be seen on
Ashley River, and when wc consider that, three
years ago, the. site o? Hies.' extensive', works was
a perfect wilderness, too much praise cannot be
awarded to the officers ofthe. Wando Company.
A Qre-proor building ls also begun'near the cham?
bers, which will cuntaiu abullcr and a-force pump
to force th?trt'i tb thc.top of the building. The
company possesses great advantages in having
its phosphate-mines In direct com mu 11 lent iou
with tue-new acid works and factory, and, with
their large factory lu "the city, will be able to fur?
nish their ferflTteeni at a low rate. Their spirit of |
energv deserves success, and the. care and econor
my which they bestow upon their products in
Bure it. They o.vn about four.hundred and sixty
acres of the beVt phosphate latid, formerly the
property of General Brisbane, In theneighborhood
of their worKs.'and have built up, besides the rail?
roads, factories, wharves, Ac, two large settle?
ment*, one ror the white and Hie other for the
colored workmen. They have built, as lt were, a
town In the woods, and have been remarkably
fortunate In the selection of their oft!oers. Mr.
John R. Dukes, the president, is thc mainspring
of the energy and enterprise visible in the actions
of the company, and Mr. T. D. Dotferer, the
superintendent, is the soul or their success, aod a
close und vigilant guardian or the interests of the
company. _ _

INQUEST.-About 7 o'clock, yesterday morn?
ing, the dead body oT a white man, named Mlch
I ael Mella, was discovered in the dock back of the
Customhouse, with'the head and shoulders im?
bedded in the mud. An inquest was held upon
the body, and ia the examination it was shown
that Mella was In the habit of sleeping aboard of
the dredge-boat and maklngup a Ure early lu' the
morning; that he had been very drunk the night
before, and had left his house, lu Queen street,
at about 4 o'clock yesterday morning, lu a state
of Intoxication, to go down to the dredge-boat,
and had been let into the Customhouse yard by
the watchman, who also testified that he,Was
drunk. Nothing more Is known. His face'was
much cut by oystershells, and he must have
fallen headlong from the wharf., Th? water waa
not very deep, but lt 13 supposed that, his head
driving into the mud, he was too drunk to extri?
cate himself and was suffocated. The Jury re?
turned a verdict of "accidental drowning."
THE GERMAN PIRE COUPANT BALL.-The
ball, as appointed, took .place last evening under
the auspices cr the German Fire Company, at their
hail in Chalmers street The dan' lng begun about
9 o'clock, and a tine band of music, together with
a good attcnJ-zre of ladles, enabled bur friends
or. the red coats to while the hou'rs away la the
pleasantest manner possible. The pleasures of
the hour were greatly enhanced by the compari?
son of the bright and beautiful hall within with
the cold rushing- northeaster without, and the
music sounded the merrier as the wind blew the
barder. The sounds of revelry continued until
late lu the evening, and ns the small hours of
morning drew on, the soft strains of music told
that the light-hearted dancers bad not yet given
o'er from their fascinating amusement. The ??i
cess of the ball is a good omen for the celebration
of the Marions, which . comes on shortly, and we
heartily wish them the same good fortune.

many years worshipped with the pious devotion
and humility of n Christian. Especially as a ves?
tryman ls his memory endeared to os, aud his
active Interest in the welfare of the church re?
called with gratitude and affection. A good man
has p issed away from the troubled experience of J
time to, we trust and belle .e, an Immortality of [
peace and Joy. ?

or oar late associate, Rich: rd Caldwell, and de?
plore the loss to the church .ir a modest'but zeal?

AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY.-In another
column wc print a notice or sale under fore?
closure, by thc sheriff or Colleton County, of the
splendid plantation in that county known as
'.Willbrook," the property or Isaac M. Dwight,
Esq. Tlie improvements on this place are mostly
new, consisting of dwelling house with ten rooms,
large new cotton house, stable, with ample ac/
ooramodatlons, barns, Ac, besides dwellings for
over fifteen families of laborers. The rice land ls
all under bank, aad supplied by an Inexhaustible
reservoir or fresh water on the place. The place
ls situated at the head waters or Rantowle's
areck. In the very centre or the phosphate region,
iud we understaad that pbosphaiic deposits have
?'ready been found there. It ls not orien that a
ihouce occurs or buying so line a place, and as we
understand that a sale must be .had, the proba?
bilities are that it will sell ror leas than its actual
wilue. ^ _.
; "A SLIOHT COLD," COUGHS.-Few are aware
ol thc Importance of clucking a cough or "slight
cold" in its first stage; that which fn the begin?
ning would yteld to a mild remedy, if neglected,
often attacks thc lungs. "Browu:s Bronchial
Troches" give sure and almost immediate relief.
"The Troches" have proved their efficacy by a
test ot many years, and have received testimo?
nials from eminent men who have used them.
