RoBNsoN's DRAMATIC TRouPE. This pop.
ular and talented troupe Anl continue to
draw large houses, and never yet has an
entertainment concluded hnt what all have
pronounced themselves as fully satisfied
with their performances. Miss SUSAN still
seems 10 attract the attention of the young
ardents, both on and of the stage. Some,
indeed, would seem to have been SO com
pletely won over by her vivacity and ele-
giant graces, that there is much to fear q
number Of our single friends have lost all
admiration for bachelor life and single bles-
sedness. But then they are pardonablc,
for they too plainly show what only they
should think, thai she'is really eaptirating.
The more mature portion Of our communi-
ty will however at once concede that the
elder RoBiNsoN is the life and soul Of the
company. His clownish feats and grimaces
invariably produce tumultuous roars Of
laughter and applause. Whilst We have
thus spoken only Of what we conceive to be
the leading characters, it is not to he in
ferred that Mrs ROBINSON or Mr.. BURrox,
and others connected with the troupe are
Indifferent performers. Space alone pro-
hibits US from doing them that public jus
tice which their merits as performers de-
serve.
As tonight will be the last Of their ap-
pearance here, we advise all to drop in this
evening On Monday, they proceed to
Steilacoom, giving their first Of series of
entertainments on that evening. We be-
speak for them there, as elsewhere, large
houses and bumpers at benefits. They are
a scntcel and talented troupe, fully deserv-
irg of all they can make by ih5.F p:o'.s-

Mr.. THos. RUSSELL, late sheriff of King
county, being well known to most of the
residents on the Sound, we also append q
copy of his letter:
Mr. HINDs-I arrived here on Monday
last after hard trip over the Cascades,
on account of the rain. l found my broth
er, Low, Richard, King, aud Siratton at
work on the creek. l sent Low on with
the Express 10 Rock Creek, and concluded
to mine on my own responsibility. The
stream prospects from 5 to 10 cents TO the
pan in the banks, and some of our boys
have got as high as 81 to the pan. There
are about 80 men here at present, and
plenty Of room for more. We are building
sluice boxes, and intend 10 commence rak-
ing in the dust tomorrow.
As soon as Low returns here with the
Express, i will go in to Seattle with it,,
and then return TO my diggings immedi-
ately, and will carry no more Expresses to
Rock Creek, for have got better thing.
Your obedient servent,
.... .... L. S. RUSSELL.

Having had such frequent occasion TO
chronicle Jail breaking, we would seriously
ask the citizens Of Thurston county whether
it would not be well 10 commence thinking
about providing a more safe and secure re-
posiiory for thieves, mdrderers, and offend.
ers against the laws, than we now possess I?
a secure place Of confinement is utterly in
dispensable with. proper administration
of justice. Without it, it is out of the
question to hope for and unreasonable to
expect, that our laws will or can be exc
cuted as they should be. The best Of Off
GERS will be powerless; the idle and vicious
will beget contempt for them and the
law. When hard up they will commit
some petty offense, and thus fee to our
present block house as an asylum where
they can secure shelter and board, well
knowing that whenever their incarceration
shall become irksome, all they have to do
is to "take up their blankets and walk"
Besides, it would be measure of economy
to build good and substantial Jail, such
one as would be the dread of felons, at
once. Ever since the above vagabonds
and rascals were first arrested, Mr.. Bill
LINGs has had constantly employed (und
very properly, too two men to act as
guard over the jail; they have performed
their duties faithfully; the Jail they have
kept, but the prisoners are gone. Yet for
this useless service they must be paid
paid by the tax payers Of Thurston county,
As these men will be paid in county scrip,
which at present is received only at heavy
discount, they will probably expect to re-
ceive So per day, sum certainly reasona-
BILE enough even for such uniaithful and
useless services. But where is the tax
payer that gets S. per day for any service
he can render the county? Three dollars
is oil the law will allow him for the most
faithful service, in almost any capacity.
Itis therefore plain TO be seen that the tax
payer must make good the heavy discount
at which which our orders now pass, and
made thus low by just such acts of folly as
they were guilty Of when they voted against
the building Of good and secure jail
The county commissioners are favorable to-
wards it, but without the sanction of the
voters of the county, cannot, by law, carry
into effect this essentially required institu-.
tion. Shame to the citizens of Washing,
toms capitol in particular, and to the yot-
ers of Thurston county generally, that they
have not, long before this, provided the
means by which the laws enacted amongst
us can be properly executed. Until these
are furnished, we propose that committee
Of oue citizens BY appointed to assist crimi-
nails out of the county before prosecution,
for by this time all must be satisfied We
cannot retain them after it. BY doing SO,
the expenses of prosecution, boarding and
guarding, would be saved to US; justice and
law, would suffer no greater violence by
this course than, it now does, with the IA
cilities We possess for meeting out the first
or administering the latter.
