TnEArEG,-The Mcguire Troupe, having
returned from brief but successful tour in
the mountains, played the "Octaroon' last
evening, to a full house. Mr.. Perry, as Pete,
was equal to any of his previous renditions of
the character, and that is saying a good deal
Miss Agnes Land, as Zoe, was most delight
ful, and Miss Jennie Vaudeville filled her
part of Dora Sunnyside with grace and
spirit peculiarly her own. Barry, as Scud-
der the Yankee overseer, was telling, and
Booth makes as good an "iniin" as if he had
actually been raised in the woods and scalp
ed a hundred or two men. His conception
ofthe part of an Indian brave upon the war
path is perfect
Tonight the beautiful drama Of colleen

SERIOUS AFFRAY IN TRINITY CoUNTY.-On
Monday the 10th inst, serious shooting and
stabbing affray occurred on Indian creek in
Trinity The Weaverville Journal gives the
following particulars of the affair:
A miner named Robbins owned in June
tion with another miner, a claim on the creek.
For some reason Robbins left the claim for
month or two: his partner not being satisfied
with his absence, and believing the claim
jumpable, sold Robbins interest. On Mon
day Robbins armed himself with a knife and
revolver and went upon the claim He found
there at work two brothers by the name of
Scott, and man Waldron. After some words
he ordered Waldron to leave he replied
that he would not until he was legally dis
possessed. Robbins stopped as if to get
drink, and while in that position drew
five-shootcr, and Immediately upon rising
presented it and said "then will make YOU
CO. and instantly fired. The ball lodged in
Waldron's hip, and he fell. The two Scots
started towards Robbins with their picks and
shovels, and after he had fired one or two in
etfectual shots succeeded in knocking the pis-
tol from his hand. One of the Scots then
fired at Robbins without effect. Robbins
drew his knife, and rushing upon Waldron,
who was down, stabbed him in the back.
just below the shoulder blade, and then left
the claim. He was arrested and examined
before Justice Maloney, who held him to an
swer for assault with deadly intent His bail
was fixed at 500. Waldron is supposed to
be in q critical condition.

The La Porte Messenger of Saturday last,
says:
Messrs. Lowery and Whitcomb, Supervi p
sors of Yuba county. and Mr.. Atchson, of
Fosters Bar, called on us Thursday morning.
The two former gentlemen have been inspect
ing some of the turnpikes to Marysville, with
view of purchasing them for Yuba county,
should the residents of that equity deem it
advisable The idea is, we believe, to buy
the roads, put them in good condition (some-
thing they need very badly,) and reduce the
price of toll. The high toll on the Marys-
vile turnpikes works badly toward the in
terests of our neighboring city, and a remedy
should speedily be obtained Mess:s. Lowery
and Whitcomb were quite anxious to see our
Washoe route-Mr. Atchison is familiar with
1t and speaks very favorably oiit-but storm
indications induced them TO leave on Thurs
day morning. Some of our Marysvlle friends
should make the trip to Virginia City, neAt
spring, by the La Porte and Jamison route
and they could easily become convinced of
the fact that it is the route tor their city.

vens had been captured, When I first
saw Thompson he was seated in an arm
chair with his hands tied behind his back,
guarded by some of the citizens. Several
questions were put to him in regard TO his
motives and expectations, when he enrolled
under the "Provisional Government. -
His answers were invariably the same -
That he had been taught TO believe the ne
groes were cruelty treated and would
gladly avail themselves of the first oppor-
;unity tq obtain their freedom, and that all
they had to do was to come to Harper 5
Ferry, take possession of the armory and
arsenal, which would be an easy matter,
and then the colored people would come in
mass, backed by the non-slaveholders of
the Valley of Virginia. Some one re-
marked: 81 imagine you regret that you
did not succeed in running off the darkies!'
He replied that he regretted having en-
gagged in the attempt, and if it were 10 do
over again, he would decline.
Very soon after, Mr. Beckham, one of
our most esteemed citizens, was shot down
