GREAT RUSH. From the following, which
we take from the S. F. Herald, of Sunday,
we should judge the Lyceum Theater at San
Francisco was a popular institution
So great was the rush to see the superb,
but seldom played, tragedy of Julius Ce-
sar, which was performed at the Lyceum,
last evening, that hundreds were turnedaway,
andl the manager was obliged to put up a
notice that mo more seats could be sold. -
There are so many prominent characters in
Julius Caesar" J." and it consequently requires
so large a company of good actors to present
it properly, that it is less frequently perform
ed than any of Shakspeare's first class plays.
The concourse was so large, that we we're
unable even to enter the door, and are,
therefore, ignorant of the manner in which
the piece was put upon the stage.

The POETRY OF DIGGERDoM.-The San
Francisco Herald describes one of the IIoopa
Diggers whom Capt. Snyder has on exhi6i-
tion-"the wise and valiant Opplee Cow
Now e NAH"
"Ihe oll man is erectpnd his eye as bright
as when in the full vigor of life he took the
war-path and decorated his belt with the
scalps of his enemies"
If our friend who produces q journal so
admirable and influential, could see this for
est lord, Mac Grcgor like, with his foot on
his native heath, banqueting on nameless
vermin, worms, snails and bugs, and with
the dirt of forty winters on his withered
shanks, or could perceive with what warr-
our-like deXterity he could skin dead horse,
or devour fricasseed dog, or could see him
standing like warrior, gaunt and grim at a
kitchen door in Uniontown, extracting the
marrow from a beef bone, or could surprise
him reclining in the genial sunshine, endeav-
oring to decimate the insects that trouble
his rest, withal-we repeat if our city friend
could behold all that, how from renowned
chieftain of the North would Opplee-Gow-
Movie Nah be transmorgrified to a beastly
old Digger Injin !"-Ifiaity Journal, Sat
1t isa very common error, with certain
writers, to endeavor to make Tecumsehs and
Black Hawks and Osceolas out of these
grasshopper-eating Digger Indians.

A Defeat and q victory.

An intelligent Californian, who voted for
Mr. Buchanan, writing from San Francisco
since the recent election in California, SAYS ::
we have won a great victory, although de-
feated. We made the fight square on the
issue on Curry for Supreme Judge, and our
opponent was elected by about 5000 major
ity against 3 900, which was Weller's ma jor-
ity for Governor last year over the Republi-
can candidate, and % 900 over the vote of
the Know Nothings, and $1,000 over both.
When you take into consideration the fact
that our organization was not FIVE weeks
old, and that Senator Broderick, our brave
leader, was sick in his room the whole time,
| think you will agree with me that we made
a gallant fight in opposing the corrupt Le
compton Buchananites. In this city we
polled $500 votes. The Buchananites only
got 1900 and 300 Of them are on the pay
roll of the Federal Government. We had
the federal, State and county officers against
us -

Alh Judicial District.
From the returns received, we have no
doubt of the election of y. G. WYATT, Dem.
as Judge, o. c. Howe, Rep. is elected Dis
,uct Attorney.
From our Exchanges 're gather the fol-
louing:
The people Of Pennsylvania and Indiana
two Of the States carried bv fraud for
James Buchanan at last had chance
to render verdict upon his Administration.
The plurality of 10000 in Pennsylvania,
angainst Fremont, has been changed into n
Republican majority of $4,000. Equally
complete is the revolution in Indiana; while
there is n Republican gain Of Il, 900 in Ohio
since last fail.
From the mass Of returns that arc clcctri-
flying the country, and carrying confusion to
the enemies of freedom, we gather few de-
tails, which will be found below. 1t is be-
lIeved that the Legislature Of Pennsylvania
and Indiana are both Republican. State
Ticket is triumphant in both states.
a revolution so sudden, so overwhelming.
so complete, in all its details, has rarely
been witnessed in this country. 1t shows
that there is North; and that its betrayers
may no longer hope to escape that scrutiny
of their acts, and that retributive Justice
which should follow every attempt to sub
vert the great principles Of free government.
james Buchanan has attempted to set his
will above that of the people, and disregard
the constitutional rights of its citizens. lie
has advanced the monstrous hercsy that the
popular will may be disregarded in the ma
king of constitutions and law. Pcnnsylva-
mia rebukes her traitorous son, and bids
Forney God speed, in his effort to undo the
wrong inflicted upon the country by the re-
suit of the late Presidential election. AS
the South has long been united for the e1-
tension of slavery, 80 will the North soon be
united for freedom.

A Crazy Shooting Case.

Washington, Sep. 80.
A the members of the Masonic Order were
this evening coming down the stairway of
their ball, they were fred at three times by
a man named Strain, who was standing in
the gutter Immediately in front of the door.
One of the balls entered the foot of Mr.. HI
berger, of the firm Of London & Company,
in Browns Hotel building. The wound is
very severe, and will probably cause ampu-
tation Of part Of the foot. DR.. A. McDavis
met with very narrow escape. The indi-
vidual who fred gave himself up on the
spot, and said his mind was impressed with
the duty Of killing all the Free Masons.-
On that punt he IS apparently deranged.-
He was committed to jail. ..r. = -,.

A Round Sum.

S200,00O,000 is the estimated cost of sup
pressing the Indian mutiny. SO much is
a .drd to the already enormous public debt
of Great Britain to preserve her supremacy
in that distant quarter. The pile of debt is
getting mountain high. The Sepoys will be
crushed in their attempts to throw off the
British yoke. But they are adding enor-
mously to that debt which must eventually
overwhelm the British government-for the
time is coming when they cannot pay inter-
est: when they cannot pay interest, they can
not borrow; when they cannot borrow, they
cannot conquer-ard they have their re-
venge.

We have but few words to say in regard

We have but a few words to say in regard
to this matter. With the final action OF the
meeting, we confess ourselves well satisfied,
but think there were some things said that
might just rs well have remained unuttered.
II the people of this county have no conf
dence in the assurances Of the Company,
why the sooner they cut loose from them,
the better it will be for nil parties concern
ed. The Company has been urged to com
meme operations at this point-thcy have
sisni6ed their willingness to do so; and OF
COMPLETING the road through this Coun-
.y at an early day. 1t is no advantage to
the Company to do this, but it will rather
subject them to an extra expense that would
not otherwise be incurred. 1t would be
an incalculable advantage to the people Of
this county, and one for which they should
feel willing to pay. Eighteen months ago,
loan of 100000 was voted to this Con-
pany, on the express conditions that said
road should be located down the valley OF
the Mosquitoe, and that the bonds should
not be called for 'suntil said road is in pro-
cess of construction by said company
through said County," The Company now
nronose to commence work on said Road in
this County, within the next 50 days, and
have given assurances that said work would
be prosecuted with vigor to completion; and
when said work is fairly commenced, they
will ask the County Judge to issue said
Bonds in accordance with the terms con-
tanned in the Proclamation Of the County
Judge, issued May 4th, 1857.
The Company are ready to perform their
part of the contract, and expect Pottawat-
tame County to perform its part-they ask
nothing more. They propose to do better
by US than we ever had reason to hope for.
Does it become us then-is it magnanimous
on our part-to seek to throw obstacles in
the way of the company? Shall we repud'-
ate our part of the contract, because the
Company will not submit to have new re-
s,rictions imposed upon them? Shall We
act in the spirit set forth in the resolutions,
or shall we rather ''bite our nose off in order
to spite our face?' Shall we stand by our
action in June, 1857, and submit to the is
sue of the Bonds as contemplated and express
sed in the proclamation of the County
Judge, or with mulish obstinacy, insist upon
the NJ. & NJ. +. r. Company entering into
new conditions, on penalty Of reputation
on our part? If we can secure the compile
ton of the road through this County in two
years and half, as We have assurances that
we can, by the issue Of the Bonds of the
County to the amount of 100000, on the
conditions heretofore accepted, we say LET
Us DO IT! Let US not be hasty in commit
ting ourselves to an opposite policy.

We Great "Water Spout"

Our readers may, perhaps. recollect that
'once upon time" one II. II. TRIMBLE,
hailing from the ''hairy nation," in his weak
way, asked the people Of this county to sup
port him for Congress. And they may have
learned, subsequently, that this same TRIM
BILE, had been consigned by the intelligent
voters of Iowa, to that bourne from whence
Democratic politicians never return-in fact,
that he had been rubbed out, and his tomb
stone inscribed with tho ominous words
"Lecompton-Dred Seottism!" But per-
haps, they may be all unconscious of the ex-
ceiling power and worth of this ''brilliant
meteor" and we would therefore inform
them, that he was a Democratic "star' of
the first magnitude. As our contemporary
of the Bugle has such holy horror of our
''unsupported assertions,'' we propose to
introduce, from good Democratic source,
evidence, as is o~;i~-ee. in support Of
assertion. TRIMBLE spoke at Newton, JAS
per county, on the 25th ult., and CORES
pendent of the Des Mones Statesman, thus
"does the thing up in a rag Read, and
thank the fates, that the "eloqucnt Clay"
and the logical WEBSTER. were permitted
to ''shuffle off their mortal COIL" before
this 'Second Daniel" was allowed to burst
forth in noon-d day efulgence, upon the
crude gaze of an unappreciatve world.'-
Read, ponder, and be wise! Hold your
breath and begin:
81 have listened to the first men of our
nation-the mild and courteous Cass-the
deep and eloquent Clay-the great logician
Webster, and the clear, sarcastic Douglas
yet | have never heard a more purely argu-
mcntative speech than that delivered by Mr..
Trimbe on yesterdays"
In the name Of all that is good and great,
is this powerful and wondful man-this out
rivalng logician-this TRIABLE, all the way
from the ''hairy naton," to be spent up''
in the wilds Of Iowa, without chance to
"spread HIMSELF" Is this Government
going to persist in wagging along as usual,
without having secured the services Of this
man TRIMBLE, all the way from the ''hary
nation?" God forbid! Can't the President
give this TRlNBLE, Nil the way from the
"hairy nation;" the place now filed by the
emasculate CAss? Do, JEENs.
