Eds. Ledger: The Volcano Brass Bands
concert came of on Saturday evening, l7th
inst, as per announcement, aud which. from
circumstances not within their control, was
not as numerouSly attended as they wished,
and consequently, only the first part Of the
programme was given, when the seats Of the
Hall were removed, and the company pres
ent, joined in a social dance, which was kept
up until abont IL o'clock, all seemingly Gu
joyng the OCCASION with infinite pleasure
For one, ! hesitate not to say, it was the
most agreeable assemblage Of ladies and gem
tlemen, have had the pleasure of meeting
with in California, and the members of the
Band, though not patronzed by the citizens
Of Volcano to the extent they hoped, never
theleSs tender TO all individually and collect
lively their best wishes for future prosperity
and happiness, with the assurance that when
the Band gives another concert TO the citi-
zens il will be done with no other feelings
than those Of good will
With consideration, am
Your Obdt Seryt.,

Theatrical.

AT this writing, we have not witnessed
any performance by the company announced
to open the Jackson Theatre last evening,
but from our knowledge of many of those
who compose it, and from the fame of Mile
DuREr there is little if any doubt in our own
minds that it is the best company, taken all
in all, now in California. Mile DuREr is
without rival in the characters she repre-
sents, and it will be observed, from the bills.
that the plays are all neie. Our citizens are
not called upon to pay their money to wit
ness stale representations of stale plays but
on the contrary, we have new artistes and
new dramas. John s. Potter, the manager,
will be entitled to the thanks of community for
the manner in which he eaters to the amuse-
ment and instruction of patrons Of the drama.
In addition to NH Dnret, aud other fine
artistes, male and female, who have not be-
fore visited jackson, we notice some Of our
old favorites, aud among Others Mrs. NJ. S.
Woodward, a most excellent actress.
We regret very much that we have
not space to further particularize, and must
refer to the bills of the day. Ladies and gen
tlemen mag rest assured that there is no hum
bug in store for them this time.

PINE GRovE.-Thc miners on the fat at
this camp still continue their drifting They
will not wash up till the rainy season sets in,
as the bringing in of water would food their
drifts so as to rendr itdangerous to work in
them.
A good deal Of excitement prevailed at
Pine Grove the past week in consequence of
a report being circulated that the teacher of
the school had been taking some improper
liberties with some Of the female pupils A
public meeting was held on Tuesday last to
investigate the matter and resulted in entire
ly generating the teacher from even suspi-
cion. The lady who started the report re-
fused to giveher reasons to the meeting.
We are indebted to Mr. Shakes, Of Pine
Grove, for the the above items.
The DEEPEST snArr-The shaft upon the
quartz lode of Messrs Hayward & Robinson,
at Sutter Creek has been sunk TO depth Of
three hundred and fifteen feet, being in all
probability the deepest shaft in the State
The lode is four feet wide on the top, and has
increased until at the depth above given it is
lG feet in width. The quality Of the rock
has improved constantly as the shaft has
gone down. 1t pays not less than $50 per
ton, aud from the extreme width Of the lode,
is quarrcd with facility. All this goes TO
prove the inexhauStible wealth that Califor
MIA possesses in her veins of gold-bcarng
quartz.

FIRE Poor SArEs.-The attention Of
pussers by on the levee in front Of the scene
of the recent fire was attracted greatly yes
terday by the remains of several "tre
proof" safes which were strewn along the
street. In one instance the "safe" lay in
fragments, no two of which hung together.
In several others the contents were reduced
completely 10 ashes; not even charred re-
main being visible. Several large safes
were dug out of the ruins yesterday, all of
which appeared to be in very dilapidated
condition, None of them have been opened
to our knowledge, but from their external
appearance, they have proved anything but
fire prof. We doubt if any safe could be
manufactured, which would stand such an
ordeal as these have been subjected to-

And again, the Chronicle, in its issue Of

sit is not difficult TO controvert the charge of
our opponents that Stewart is the candidate of
the SHAREHOLDERS, and in favor of the extension of
slavery. Col Stewart owns no slaves, he is not

Stewart and Shannon--A raw" Irish,
man Beheaded by Robt M. Stewart.

Col. Robt. NJ. Stewart and his friends
are making desperate efforts TO secure 10
him the foreign vote OF the country. Not
wilhstanding Stewart joined the X. Ms
and was faithful brother, swearing as hard
as the hardest against the Irish" and the
"Dntch," and SO continued for fifteen
months, yet Stewart is now pure and un-
detiled Democrat, and friend of the for
cign-born citizen. Wonderful conversi6n
But Stewart remained Know Nothing
long enough to make his mark on one Irish
man, as unfit TO hold any Office of trust or
profit in the United States" That Irish
man was the Rev. James Shannon, Presi-
dent of the Missouri University. When
the attack was made on Mr.. Shannon, TO
Gust bin from the Presidency of the Uni
versity, it was said by his friends that it
was because he, Shannon, had denounced
Benton and had opposed Rollins and Swift
Ter, in Boone county. And it was conf
IDENTIFY expected that the Anti-Benton De-
mocracy OF the Legislature (of whom Stew
art was one) would shield Shannon from
this Know Nothing attack.
Stewart was a State Senator. and his
name was actually set down as one that
would vote for and protect Shannon. But
alack and alas .-Stewart was then Rnow-
Nothing, and had sworn that "no id
raw Irishman should preside over the Mis-
souri, University" And when the rally Of
Shannon's friends came, 10, Stewart had de.
Sertea-gone over to the X, N.s-the Irish
man, Shannon's, head rolled in the gutter.
Rollins, Stewart, Swilzler and the X Ms,
were victorious! Such was Stewart.
