Tue SAN FRANCISCO GLOBE, becomes perfectly
furious on being charged with Black Republic
canism, A review of the political career of that
journal, will convince any one that the charge
ofits being tinctured with Republicanism is not
without foundation. The Globe was started as
professed Democratic paper, but took up in To-
vor of the Vigilance Committee when every
Democ attic paper in the State opposed them.
When Mr.. Buchanan was nominated for Presi-
dent. the Globe at first supported him, but after
wards took down his name and announced itsel.
as independent. When the Democratic ticket
was nominated last fall in San Francisco in
stead Of supporting the regular nominees, the
Globe denounced them and assisted materially
in the election of eleven Black Republicans to
the Legislature. Its object in supporting the
Republican nominees was undoubtedly for the
purpose of getting two members of that party
elected to the U. S. Senate from this State, and
had the election been close one, the conduct
ors of that paper might have accomplished their
purpose. 1t now comes out and claims 10 be
Democratic, and has attached itself to the tail
end Of the disorganizing faction who are at
tempting to create division in the party. 1t
may suit the convenience of the Globe to assume
the garb of Democracy for time, but as soon
as the nominations are made, we shall expect to
see 1t again taking sides with its old friends, the
Black Republicans.

THE GADsDEN SILVER MNEs.-The editor Of
the San Francisco Heruld has been shown some
fine specimens of silver taken from the Sopori
lead in the Cad den Purchase. He has also
received information concerning the locality
which enables him to impart the following in
formation:
The mine is located about forty miles from Tu
eson. and twenty-five from Caladazas. The pro-
prietors are Messrs Douglas, Dodsen. Aldrich ID
Rhodes. 1t is represented to be inexhaustible,
and can be traced perhaps mile on the surface
The average yield is twelve marks, or ninty.six
dollars of pure silver to three hundred pounds
of ore. The character of the mine is volcanic,
and water is convenient and plenty. James
Douglas, one of the proprietors, is an old and
experienced silver miner, and persons visiting
that country with the view of examining its
mineral resorces would do we'll to call on him
Mt bis mine. The specimens exhibited to us
were very rich.

GuBERNAroRIAI--Col. Weller is now fairly
before the Democratic electors Of the State for
nomination as candidate for Governor, and
i've or six newspapers have raised his name at
che head Of their columns as their first choice.
Some Of them are doing his cause much injury
by the factiOus course they are pursuing, in
denouncing every one who happens to differ
with them in opinion. We do not regard II as
improper for political papers to advocate the
claims Of any gentleman, for party nomina-
tlon, II its conductors are so disposed; but in
advocating the claims Of one man it is not ne-
eessary to abuse others who may be put forward
for the same position. Mr.. McCorkle is our first
cheics for Governor, but should the Democratic
Convention see ct to nominate Col. Weller, we
nhall accord him cheerful and hearty support.
The Democracy of Nevada county are divided
80 to men, but 90 far as we have heard there
are none who are disposed to make trouble In
the party.

THEArER.-Miss Mary Provost played a. the
Theater on Thursday, Friday and Saturday
evenings of last week. She was supported oy
Messrs Warwick, Anderson, Woodward ana
others, and the entertainments presented were
highly creditable. Miss Provost is lively ana
pleasing actress; her singing. in particular was
much admired, and invariably brought down
the house. rEMErt
On Monday evening the Theater was opened
by Mr.. aud Mrs. Stark, who were greeted Win
full house. The play of Camille was perform
ed. and in consequence Of its great length 1t
constituted the sole entertainment Of the eve
ming. Mr.. Stark as Armand Duval, was the
great attraction, and his delneation of this
character was perhaps, as near perfection as 1t
is possible for an actor TO attain. We shall
take occasion in our next to speak more at
length of this gentleman's merits. The char
acter of Camille was admirably sustained by
Mrs. Stark, and Mr.. Phelps. Mrs. Woodward
and in fact, all the members Of the company
acquitted themselves to the entire satisfaction
of an approaching audience. The translation
of this play, as performed by Mr. and Mrs
Stark is much more chaste and tasteful than
any we have before seen upon the stage. Dn'
ring the performance they were twice called in
front of the curtain. Last evening Mr.. Stark
appeared in his great character Of Rchelieu
but we go to press at too early an hour to speak
of the performance. The company will remalr
through the week, and q succession OF standard
plays will be presented.
This evening the great tragic drama Of "Th'
Robbers" will be presented, Mr. Stark as Chas
de Moor. His personation of this character ha
been the subject of the most favorable notices
and we trust the lovers of the drama will no
fail to see him ia one of his best characters
The play was written by Schiller, and II is rela
ted that after its FIRST representation in Erie
bourg, Germany, number of young men il
the city, captivated by the grandeur of the char
acter of Charles de Moor, formed themselve
into band like his and resolved to betak
themselves to the forests of Bohemia. Thei
plans were discovered, and the representation
of the play prohibited.

The CoxEr.-Considerab excitement exist
cd In this place on Saturday, in consequence
Of the expected appearance of the comet.
Crowds Of people were standing round the
street corners, in the forenoon, gazing at the
planet Venus which is now visible to the naked
eye during the most Of the day. Many believed
1t to be the comet, and the non-appearancc Of
the tail was accounted for, from the fact that It
was coming directly towards the earth. and the
tail was supposed to be hid behind the nucleus.
By sunset the timld began to breathe easier.
and on Sunday morning the excitement had
entirely abated. The comet hoax has had its
day.
