Theatrical.

A scene occurred at the Metropolitan,
night before last, that was not laid down on
the programme. Il was the occasion OF MIR.
Hamilton's benefit, and as the beneficiary
had right co do, he placed cur young friend
Harry Mighels in she box Office for safety
At about O'Clock, when the citizens were
gathering in, all were struck back, by the
appearance of Constable Patton. who pounc-
ed upon the funds in the hands of the ticket
seller. The seizure was made at the IN
stance of Mr.. Hamilton. After few min
utes of deathly silence, Mr.. Connor appear
ed before the curtain, and announced in an
audible voice; that Mr.. Hamilton had seized
the funds, and although the managers owed
Hamilton Sl27, and tickets to quite num-
Der had been sold, and the holders present
to see the show, he (Connor) wouM not play;
no power on earth could make him play.
Mr.. Hamilton, then appeared in his own
defense, and said that he had not received
his salary, his landlord wanted his pay ,and
that humbug had been the order Of the day
among the management, and he saw She
nanegan going on, he, to save himself, had
attached the receipts. He appealed to the
audience to say whether he was not right
The crowd were unanimous in his favor
Then it was interesting. The crowd rushed
on to the ssage-one said, give me back my
dollar another said, it was, and had been
splendid id humbug another said it
was a plan to swindie the public, SC, and
finally the uproarous audience retired with
very largs sized disgust. 1t came very
near row at one time.
1t has, so far, under the present manage
ment, been u succession of disasterous blum
ders-a chapter of accidents in the history

THE CHAPMAN's.-"hec closing of the en-
gagement, and departure of this Company,
is regretted by allthe patrons ofthe drama,
in this vicinity. Circumstances, we regret
to say, over which Mr. Chapman could have
no control, have rendered the position of
himself and his company, very unpleasant
and annoying in the extreme. The two COM
panies have, in consequence Of bad manage
ment and inexperience of the lesees of the
Metropolitan, sustained considerable pecu-
mary loss. Both Companies possess merit
of no mean order, and might have drawn
crowded houses, but for the unnecessary RI
valry existing between them consequently
there has been no concert of action; and pie
ces have been literally slaughtered, which
might have been rendered with great effect,
and to the entire satisfaction of our citizens.
This has been apparent to the most casual
observer and is attributable to the fact, that
some of those who undertook to cater amuse-
ments for the Oroville public, were over
stocked with impudence, and under par in
brains, common sense and decency.
Mr.. Chapman has gone to Weavervile
with his company, and we assure our noun
tain friends, that he has the stock with him
to afford them amusement of high order
His talented lady and daughter, the beauti-
full Miss Julia Hudson, and the great favor
ite Miss Kate Grey, who is not excelled in
her line of characters, by any lady in Cali
fOrnia, are among the number.
We hespeak for them that support and pat
ronage, which their merits demand

MARX THE DIFFEREScE.--Whilst the en-

SEATrLE-KING CouNTY-GEY. Wool
AND THE WAR.-Notwithstanding Gen.
Wool, since his return to San Francisco,
has obtained the ear Of the press of that
city for the purpose of casting rcproach
upon the citizen-soldiers OF this and Ore
gon territory-impugning in q slapderous
manner, the motives Of Gov, Curry, and
the authorities of Oregon as connected with
tho war-grosSly falsifying in the most
shameless manner, ereything connected
with its origin, progress, present stage, the
number Of hostile Indians, and the extent
of the combination Of the various tribes
although we say his statements, may, have
gained credencc in San Francisco, and still
more unfortunate for us, in Washington

unfounded though they be in every essen.

tants driven within the stockade at Seattle
that outside of that place, the county was
utterly depopulated; that cattle, horses,
sheep, hogs, &C., had shared common
fate-- ruinous proportion having been
driven off or killed; that barns und stores OF
wheat, peas, potatoes, &C., had been carri-

If. however, we are at fault in pointing out
the true authority, we adopt the language
Of the Oycglniaa on the subject, and say
with that paper that eve do not know

the war was in consequence of numbcrlcss
indiscreiions of the whites we only know
that the assertion is J4ise in toto" The
balance of the extract is replied to else
where; as is also the 9th and last extract
In conclusion we would briefly state the
following facts, all of which we can estab-
lish:
/ On reaching Fort Vancouver, General
Wool declared he would prosecute the war
vigorously. He however ignored the whole
volunteer scryicc-liSbandc the Washing

to Gov. Stevens, known to be returning
from the Blackroot council, and stated, i'll
differently, that Gov. Stevens could take
care of himself
"A company of halr-hrceds was raised by
WV. MCKAY to push through the lndiaI
country, to relieve Gov Stevens; aud there
was M understanding between acting Gov
ernor Mason anl Maj. Rains, that they
should b, mustered into the service, anC
sent on the duty alluded TO. Gen. Woo
refused to sanction the movement, and th'
company was disbaudcd. The brave Ore
