The Robinson Family.

The performances of this highly popular
troupe, at our Theatre during the past ten
evenings, have been very successful, more so
than those of any theatrical company which
has visited Oroville for many months. The
reasons for this success are easily OWNED
Their plays, generally light and amusing in
IN style, are rendered with great vivacity !;
and characters best suited for the rare talents
of Miss Susan, the Fairy Star'-as she has
aptly been styled-songs in which she best
displays the rich melody of her charming
voice, and dances in which she appears in
sylph-like grace. have been uniformly selected
for her, in all of which from frequent reher
sails she is-to use stage phrase Dead-let-
ter perfect as are, iudeed, with an occasional
exception, the other members of the company.
Mr.. J. B. Robinson, though sometimes a little
extravagant in the rendition of his parts, is all
excellent comedian, and succeeds in keeping his
audiences in extreme good humor. Mr.. Wm.
Robinson, Mrs. Cara Robinson. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hamilton, and Mr.. Mortimer, are each entitled
to credit for their happy assumption of such
characters as have been assigned them. The
Robinson Family go hence to Marysville.
where we believe they will remain for a few
nights preparatory to embarking for Australia.
They are all too well and favorably known at
"Nyes7 to need any Introductory compliments
from Us.

Shooting of a Stage Driver.

On Saturday last driver of one of the Cal
| itornia Company's Stages, was shot while on
his box by passenger by the name of Ames
on one of Foulers opposition Stages, while
both vehicles were on the road, near Nicholas.
The weight of the testimony as since adduced,
shows that Case, whose coach was empty, pur-
posely drove his horses in such manner as
to hinder the course of the opposition stage :
that he several times caused collision between
his and the horses and stage of the opposition
and that he even threw punches of ignited fire
crackers under the horses attached to the stage
upon which Ames was riding. After the per-
petration of these most unwarrantable acts. he
he at last suddenly reined his horses so that they
and his coach were brought into position
highly dangerous TO the safety of those on the
opposition stage (seven in Dumber) and while
the two vehicles were so standing, Ames raised
his gun and fired, shooting Case in the left
shoulder blade, causing a dangerous wound.
Case then turned the team into the road and
after driving short distance, get off bis box
and lay down by the road side. A passel by
saw him and procured his assistance and surgi-
clal aid. He is now lying in most crtica
condition and viii probably die.
This shooting affair causes US no surprise.
Similar acts of aggression on the part of the
Ca lifornia stage Company, have more than
once come under our own observation, aud we
only wonder that persons riding on opposition
stages running between here and Marysville,
have not been provoked into like resentments
AS a Company, monopoly as it is, we have no
reason to complain Of the California stage cor
poration; they have shown great enterprise
and by opening roads to distant places in the
interior, have vastly benefited the State but
because they have seen fit so to do while in the
prosecution Of a lucrative business, they are
furnished with no shadow of an excuse for seek
ing to rid themselves of such opposition as
they may legitamately encounter by any other
than lawful means. Arrogance and brute force
are not the means whereby to maintain their
rights to the stage travel in this State the
roads are free to all and the right to travel.
them should be exercised even, if necessary,
by force of arms.

THE CAUSE AND THE EFFECT.

The unanimous verdict of the country in favor OF a
prompt viudicaton of our national honor, has been
given In spirit of delberation and calmness. The
movement wears no semblance Of Fictitious trick
intended for party advancement There is no vio-
lent demon.tration-no buucombe Of any sort. But
the remonstrances and protests wear the unmstake-
able impress Of decision. The general tone Of the
press and the positions assumed by political leaders,
deny the necessity Of fsversh agitation to arouse the
people to action. All seem 10 acknowledge with be-
coming moderation Of expression, the presence Of
gres question: which must be met without hesitation
and decided without evasion of the issue rightfu
ly involved This is the result of succession OF out
RACES the reports Of which have rapidly followed each
other in the public press-each report irritating aresh
the feelings of national pride, already wounded by
similar and previous recital. The following extract
from the New York Times furnishes mere summary
of the wrongs which have arouaed universal sent
ment in favor of prompt and determined policy.
