the presence of that unrivalled artistic, Julia

mostly made up of young actors and actresses
Of little experience, but many of the members
give unmistakable evidences of promise. Miss

that the boys are delighted with her.

Behind the majority, by any means.
We are sorry that the exceeding cold nights
have prevented the liberal patronage the merits

MATTEsoS's SHoP.-We visited the shop OF
z. E. Matteson few days since. 1t is situated
on Deer Creek, below the Nevada Foundry
Matteson has associated with him in the bust
ness of manufacturing his water power derricks,
partner who is also an ingenious coppersmth
and general mechanic. The shop is provided
with lathes, etc., for iron turning, and the ma
chinery is propelled by water. We make this
notice of the shep that any one who wants ma
chinery of any kind constructed, may be direct
ed to the spot. The advertisement in another

modes of facilitating mining is prepared to do
for his fellow citizens in the mechanical line
VINO SAYS DIE "A prominent operator in
the turnpike through the Henness Pass was in
town few days since attempting to arouse the
good people of this city from their apathy for
public improvements. He proposes, after con-
suitation with capitalists, to build railroad
from Grass Valley to Nevada, of cheap con-
struction, and assures us that it will be pawn .
concern. Indeed the figures given do look fat
tering as shown us. We have not learned how
far successful was the eloquence of the gentle
man on the monied meu of this city, but at any
rate, he tells there is capital already promised
work.

THEATRE.-0n Wednesday evening the play
of Ingomar was presented at the Metropolitan
Theatre. The house was well filled, as is usual
whenever Mrs. Hayne appears at Nevada. The
character of Parthenia was well sustained by
her. This is of course-Mrs. Hsyne 1annot fail
under any circumstance, to express the true life
and spirit of whatever character she may as
sumo. Whenever the egregious blunders of
others would allow, she rendered all the pathos
of the part with her own inimitable skill. OF
the other characters, Polydor and Aetea were
tolerably rendered. by Allen and Mrs. Burrill.
The persons who shouted, Room for the Ii
march '' executed that thrilling invocation with
considerable promptitude and effect
During the play, several persons made their
appearance upon the stage other than those we
dressed in calf skins and boards, and armed
with outlandish axes and L. S. bayonets. From
our recollection of the play, We suppose those
badly dressed persons were intended to repre-
march, and carried n yellow stick. AS far as
looks went, the big whskered fellows made very
tolerable savages. We have attended Digger
Indian pow-wows (by special invitation) and we
ought to know how barbarian should look
The resemblance was striking. If these persons
had only been content to stand in one place aud
look fierce, the audience would have been very
well satisfied. Barbarian like, they would insist
on doing the very things they ought not to do.
They justified their theiving reputation by pack
ing off pair of brass goblets just when Par
thenia wanted to use them. They would walk
about the stage and invariably placed them
selves in the most advantageous position to be
in everybody's way. They would try to talk,
and pretty mess they made of it. On the
whole, the Diggers aforesaid could have done it
rather better.
In short, so far as these characters were con-
cerned, the play was played worse than we sup
posed it possible to play play. The Mistakes
of Night would be better name for that
" "Ingomar." We do not speak of the style of
the elocution or acting. An audience has no
right to demand that the subordinate parts of a
play be filed by men of genius But they have
a right to demand that any actor who appears
before them should commit to memory some few
words Of the text of his part.
We suppose the Barbarians, and others of
Wednesday nights Ingomar, can read, and we
protest that the excellence of Mrs. Haync :
Partbenia should not be ruined by the inexeu-
sable blunders of those stupid sayagcs. We
would recommend each of these men of Bclial
to read portions of Ingomar once or twice, or
nevermore, at least before Nevada audience

JIm, one hundred and four on the bare person, administered with four or six twlgs grasped in the hand, not exceeding two and a half feet in length. An inter. val was allowed between each twenty-five lashes. The negroes walked some three and half miles, and as we are informed went to work Monday morning without any visible signs of injury or sufering.- NO blood was drawn from either negro, or was any punishment inflicted than what IS above stated. Their guilt was proven beyond reasonable doubt, and if Jim had received the punishment due his crime, he would have tested the strength of a $ rope.
 The above is a true state ment of the mannerln which the negroes were treat ed by the vigilance committee of Austin, and the man or men, who stated that we whipped Jim inhumanly, and that what we got out of the negroes was ex,orted by the lash is a slanderer and liar, un- worthy the confidence of any southern man. Signed in the presence of each oth- CT, at Austin, on this the 18th day of June, 1861.
