THEATR1NAT.


On Monday evening Mrs Julia Dean
Hayne made her disappearance before
the citizens of Nevada in "Camille. -
There was full attendance. Camille"
was repeated on Tuesday evening, and
on Wednesday evening was presented
the "Hunchback."
1t is impossible to speak of Mrs. Hayne
in the ordinary language of theatrical
compliment. We have heretofore seen
actresses upon our stage, of considera-
bic talent and skill in their profession.
Mrs. Hayne possesses something more
than skill and talent, and above them
she has genius. We can say of her, what
can be said of very few whose names
are upon the lips of the people-that her
presence does not lower the idea we gain
from her reputation, but elevates and
ennobles it rather. OF her Camille
we have spoken in another place As
"Julia" in the ''Hunchback, she was as
excellent. She did not act the character,
she cds Julia herself Every shade of
the changing passions Of the heroine,
wrought in her mind, and thence appear
ed in her look, and tone, and bearing
There was no affected grimaces and
mock tears; we could almost have sworn
she acas the thing she seemed to be. 1t
was not the mimicry of the drama but
a brief chapter from real life, and we
looked upon its real suferings, and errors,
and triumphs. Then, as well as in .sCa-
mile" before, we saw eyes unused to
the melting mood" moistened with not
unmanly tears, as at the sight of suffer
ings that were real.
We cannot criticise the tone or look,
or gesture of Mrs. Hayne, any more than
we would criticise the manner of beg
gar who eEtreats us for aims. He speaks
of the suffering he feels, in the voice God
has given and however he may look
or act, he will be earnest, and true to his
own nature. Mrs. Hayne is identified
with the character she represents. 9th
er women, moved by the same passions,
might act or speak differently, because
they would feel differently. She is true
to her own nature, and speaks as the
passion affects herself.
Mrs. Hayne is supported by compa-
ny comprising the best theatrical talent
in the state. Mrs. Judah is an old IA
vorite at Nevada She is inimitable in
the characters she represents. AS Helen
in the "Hunchback," she brought down
the house repeatedly by her admirable
hits.
Mr. Charles Pope. as Armand and Sir
Thomas Clifford, exhibits the powers of
an accomplished actor. Mr.. Ryer as
Master Walter displays better appre-
citation of the character of the noble
hearted misanthrope. than any other
actor we have SEEN Rand, Rogers,
Venua and Thayer, are all well known
favorites.
Dumphries made his first appearance
on Wednesday evening as "Fathom,' -
and was greeted with uproarious ap-
plause.
Apart from Mrs. Hayne, this is the
best company we have ever had in the
mountains. 1t is constellation of stars;
stuff enough in it for a dozen ordinary
companies.

JULIA DEAN HAyNE-CAMI1LE-

! JULIA DEAN HAYNE.-CAMILLE.-
We attended the representation of Ca
mile on Monday evening, wondering il
our mind if Mrs. Hayne could by any
means succeed in rendering a character
which we have hitherto disliked, pleas
ing and satisfactory to us. She did
succeed, and we owe it to her gsnius
that we shall hereafter consider the dra.
ma of CAMILLE, with pleasure, instead
OF feeling almost of disgust
The play is essentially French, in
character and sentiment. 1t exhibits
throughout French feeling, French pref
udice, French love of effect. Ameri-
cans can with difficulty comprehend
such passion as Camille's, or the neces-
sity that called for her great sacrifice.
In the hands of an ordinary actress =
even an actress of talent, she would ap-
pear to us only naughty coquette at
the first, and only. drawn towards Ar
mand afterwards by sudden freak of
passion = the whim of woman who
was accustomed to crafty every 'whim.
We could not understand at all the no.
bility of her, final self-forgetfulness-
Our reason would teach us that sueh a
woman could not be so unselfsh and de-
voted, for the sake of girl she had
never seen, a man who treated her with
cruelty, and family that only de. pissed
her. There would be an inconeruitv
here we could not reconcile. The unity
of the character would be marred. All
the motives urged upon her, strong as
they are, would not seem sufficient to
cause so great a sacrifice on the part of
such of a woman.
With Mrs. Haynes Camille it is 9th
erwlse. From the very beginning, we
see the greatness of the heroine. Even
through the coquetry of the belle, we
catch glimpses of the nobility of the
woman. We see that she is among the
fiatterers and fools = but is not of them.
We recognise the elements of heroism
in her look and bearing. We feel that
we are in the presence of one who will
exhibit the noblest qualities of woman
hood if the occasion shall avor coll
them forth. So, when the veil of friv
olity which she has hitherto worn as a
mask is cast away, we are not startled
by the graddeur of the character which
is revealed Her errors-and they are
many-are lost sight of in her great ex-
cellence. We can see how this woman
can make the sacrifice of Camille. This
is the triumph of genius it is the tri-
umph of Mrs. Haype

!" The WArcH-Doe OF THE TREAgr.

"IHE WATCHDOG OF THE IREA$U-
RY."-This title has been given to the
Hon. d. R. Ashley, senator from Mon
terey, and was first used, we belieFe,
by his enemies, in attempted derisibn.
REGULATORS endeavored, for while, to
sneer at him; but they soon abandon ed
that line of policy, and they now qu all
before him, like guilt in the presence of
purity. If there was ever an hon nest
public servant, and one who made it his
business to look after the interests of
the state, then he is the man. He has
been in the legislature for a number of
years, and not one single thieving Hill
can be pointed to which he supported.
But Mr.. Ashley has something me ire
than simple honesty. Good intentio ms
are all very well, but when unacco IN
panied by intelligence and mental vigpr,
they can accomplish but little. Mr..
Ashley has abilities of the highest Dr.
der, as well as honesty of the purest
character. He not only has an instinc
tive hatred of rascality, but the acute
ness to detect it, and the courage and
power to expose it. As debater, he
stands unrivalled on the floor of the
senate and no senator has ever shown
a disposition to break lance with him
more than once. He goes to the capi-
tol, not merely to spend a pleasant win
ter, but with an ever-present conscious
ness of the high duties of his position.
He investigates everything. No man
is better acquainted with the workings
of the government, and the political
history of the state; ard consequently
he is a most dangerous opponent to
meet in controversy. He has saved
the public many thousands of dollars,
and possesses more of the qualities of
Tie statesman, than any other man who
has been in our legislative halls.
If the time ever comes, when public
men in California will be rated accord
ing to their true merits, and not accord
ing to the pertinacity with which they
keep their names before the people as
candidates for high Offices, then no man
in the state will be held in higher esti-
nation than the senator from Monterey.

DIVISION OF THE DIsTRICT.-A petit
ton has been sent to our senators and
assemblymen, signed by all the men,
bers of the Nevada Bar, with one or
two exceptions, praying for a division
OF our judicial district. The petitioners
pray for the same division heretofore
advocated by the Sierra Democrat and
the Journal making a new district out
of Sierra and Plumas, and leaving Ne
vada the 14th. The facts set forth in
the petition fully warrant the measure,
and it is to be hoped that the represen-
tatives from the three counties will be
a unit on the subject.

STATE Prison WARRANTS.-Sena
Ashley, among other startling expos
ures which he made the other day in
the senate, alleged that state prison
warrants had been issued to Estell after
the first of January, 1857, for services
rendered in 1856, thus enabling him to
draw cash for warrants which sheuld
have been bonded. The funding act of
April 10Th, sc, requires that all war
rants issued prior to January, 81, and
all warrants issued after that time for
Indebtedness which accrued prior there
to, shall be bonded. and was passed with
the expectation that all claims against
the state arising after January 1st, 81,
would be paid in cash. The state pris-
on warrants are issued on the last day
of each month, but Estell's reason for
postponing as many of them as possible
until January is quite apparent In
answer to Mr.. Ashley's statement, he
equivocates, and shuffles, and talks
about nonsense" and Stiffness" and
finally says that the warrants were is
sued for services to be performed in
January, whatever may be said or
'critten to the contrary" He may well
have used that word written" for the
next day Mr.. Ashley very coolly pre-
sented to the senate the following "writ-
ten " refutation of all Estell had said
"San Francisco, Sept. ID, 1856.
&C. W. Whitman, Controller of the
estate of California
"On the first day of January, 1857,

RoBBERY.-On Saturday last, Mr..
Alexander McClanahan, foreign mi
ner's tax collector, was robbed of some
sixty dollars and a revolver. He was
travelling on the road short distance
below Grass Valley, when two men sud-
denly sprung from the bushes, and pre-
senting their pistols, had him complete
ly in their power. before he had time to
prepare himself. He recognised one of
the robbers, named Wallace Gehr, who
was arrested the next morning by Mr..
John Sales. Gehr is said to be one of
the parties who robbed Mr.. Frank
Woodward on the Sugar Loaf, last fall
Another man has been arrested by tha
me person at Grass Valley, on sus bi-
cion of being the one who assisted Gehr
in the robbery of McClanailan.
SAD AFFAlR.-On Monday last, Mr..
WIN. Stafford was instantly killed, hJ a
blow of the fist given by Mr. Hen by
Hays. The affair took place near t he
head of Cayote street in this city, a bid
originated in difficulty about mini g
claim. Stafford was young man of Y
cellent character, and well liked by all
who knew him. Mr.. Hays was arrest
ed, and held to bail in the sum of So, 900.
He has lived in Nevada for a long time,
aad always stood well in the communi-
ty. 1t was one of those unfortunate
quarrels in which the best of men will
sometimes find themselves involved, and
we suppose Mr.. Hays, when he gave
the blow, never dreamed of its terrible
effect.

GSttrtssss' 9spartmtut,
Her Debut.

Vanity is a quality with which every wo.
man and man, too, as for a matter of that
is more or less endowed and there is moth
ing better calculated for it's development than
welldirected Flattery. Now | confess to
having mine not a little excited on reading
the intense compliments bestowed by some OIL
the gentlemen Of the Press-the Pee Dee
Herald, for instance-and by the private cor
respondents Of the Editor, on my humble en-
deayors to cater for his readers, during his
absence a short time since. ! thank them
for their good opinions, although conscious
they have greatly oyeratsd 'the Editresses''
humble abilities.
And now they want her to have a word or
two to say every week. But in spite of all
the hattery that has been given, she still feels
incompetent to contribute any thing that
will prove profitable or interesting to the rea-
dears Of the dear Esprit" Yet, as it has
been said that, "he who causes two blades Of
grass to grouashere only one grew before
is benefactor to his race, she would fain hope
TO DO able to arouse SOM noble aspirations
in the hearts Of her own sex, at least to
cause a smile to play upon the human
countcnance divine" or raise the spirits of
one dropping sister and if successful in this,
her highest hopes will be more thar accom-
plished.
And she humbly trusts the gentlemen rea-
ders Of the Age will not
"Yiew her with a critics eve,
But pass her imperfections by ;"
especially as they are much to blame for the
position in which she finds herself here. And
If any think she is '~transcendiug her proper
sphere" in thus publicly appearing upon
the stage" please place the censure on the
Editor and his friends.
She has now made her c~'urtsey and intro
duced herself and rendering the compli-
ments Of the season, she wishes each and all
n happy New Year.
All q new yearl How fit q time for NOR
alizing and deep,sober reflection. Time, like
some mountain torrent, has brought us to the
beginning Of another year. Eighteen hun
dred and ifty-seyen has come and p%ausing,
as it were, in existence, we give one long,
lingering look back, upon the departed old
year, now gone, with it hopes and its joys,
its cares and its sorrows. And as We enter
upon the bright, unsullied new year, let us
determine that it shall not pass away with
out some record of n better and happier life.
May the blessings that are still showered upr
on us, and that depart not with fleeing years,
bring our hearts humbly to thank the Giver
Of all good for his unbounded munifcence,
and for the preservation of our Improbable
lives. But did not intend to sermonize ;
and lest be betrayed into it, l close my sa-
lutatory just here.
