Inns visit will supply want long felt in our com
mumty, and will satisfy those who have hunRered
and thirsted for sight of a genuine theatrical
performance. The Watkins Troupe are not mount
ebanks, but have gained considerable ecot wher-
ever they hare played. They are well known in
New Orleans, and have recently been performing
to crowded houses in Savannah. The troupe is
composed of fifteen actors, among whom are Mr..
and Mrs. WATKINS, both eminent professionals.
We congratulate the community on their prospects
for enjoyment, and hope that it may be the first
step toward the erection Of permanent theatre. 4
Trout AMsBuRY's LINE KnN.-The grounds
formerly occupied by the Cannonsboro' Mil have
been selected as the site Of the new enterprise.
and are in every respect admirably adapted for the
purpose. On account of it's isolated position be-
ing separated by water from the city proper, there
Is no danger Of fire, and its contiguity to the
charleston and Savannah Railroad Wharf secures
the landing Of cargoes Of stone q few yards from
the furnace Messrs. TROUT & AMsBuRy the
owners OF the kiln, have been engaged for some
months IN making the necessary preparations, and
in erecting the different buildings necessary for
the purpose, but are now fully ready to. commence
operations. /
The kiln is a large brick structure, compsct1v
% omie ana capable Of enduring any amount Of heat
The walls are four feet thick and the area inclosed
is twelve feet high, six feet WIDE and TWENTY-FIVE
feet long. There are three -archways on the inner
side, that in the centre being quite large and de-
signed especially for the entrance of the stone.
When compacty filed with large blocks Of stonethe
kiln Will contain fully leo, 600 pounds. In order to
calcine this mass sufficiently to change it into lime
herce fire IS kept up for five days and nights, and
ABOUT twenty-five cords OF wood is consumed be-
[ore the desired result can be obtained.
Inc stone used tor this purpose is obtained from
the quau1es at Rockport, Maine, and is Of a erav-
lsh blue color, and easily broken by a few wen di
rected blows. In order to prepare it for burning

against the walls and over the arches until the in
terror ls filed to the top. When the kiln has been
completely filed, the main archway is closed, OK
cept small opening to receive the wood, and the
process Of calcination is commenced
This is new enterprise for Charleston. but 4
has been undertaken with confidence, and from
he energy already displayed there is no doubt
hat 1t Will become perfect success. It is Htao

more to rebuild the ruined city than even the Fire
Loan Bill With building material at hand and the
Jlty treasury to borrow money from, there need be

oTmef appearance. Decentralization has no |
errors while we possess the mechanical and agri-
cultural facilities necessary to advance our own
'onh1on; these pursuits aro not affected by
or1gadler rule, and can be pursued with the same
as if performed in State.
