A production called “Abe's Saturday, or Washington Sixty days hence,” has been acted at the Mobile Theatre. It is called by the playbills a “laughable squib,” and the leading ideas of the plot, as may be inferred from the title, consist in the surprise of the Capital and the capture of the President by the doughty Confederates.--Boston Transcript, May 14.
