THE EVENING NEWS.


itself, is the best advertisement, for al
who witness it once wish to so again
Last night a fine and varied entertainment,
was given. War views, gems Of scenery,
portraits of eminent men, vivid representa-.
tons Of statuary and las ~releiros, and
fine selection of comic and ludicrous rep
reservations, form the attraction. Among
the best Of the first, were christmas in
camp" and Christmas st home"-tht
former showing a stalwart soldier or
picket duty, gazing intently On the por'
trait of his wife and children the latter
taking the audience &C the home Of thu
family, and showing the wife bending over
the cot Of her sleeping babes, and praying
for the safe and speedy return Of TIT
father. The two scenes are then so beau
tifully blended as to exhibit both at one
view-the home fre-side appearing as Q
pleasant dream TO the sad and lonely pa
triot. Ever and anon the stern reality OF
his surroundings impress him, and as
often does he relapse into the contempla-
ton Of the beautiful vision. II seemed
that the audience would never tire OF
viewing this picture. Among the best OF
the last mentioned, was the portrait Of the
local reporters Of our daily p~apers-taken
originally by Col. Sutterley. They are
bashful youthsl and their sudden appear
ance on the canvas before so many cri,i-
cal eyes caused their hearts to beat wildly.
But they stood fire nobly, until some
liberal fellow shouted u an invitation
for them to take a drink" when they
were off in q twinkling. They Of course
considered such an invitation a gross in
suit, and they wish it distinctly under
stood that they never drink-only when
asked. Bob has their pictures in q promi-
nent position in his "rogues' gallery"
Wormer will exhibit tonight, with an en-
tire change Of programme. He has some
magnificent views and s.atuary which he
is reserving to the last. Do not fail to
attend.
REolsTER.-We call upon the good citi-
zens of Virginia City to register, so that
they may have a vote a, the coming num-
cipal election. Il IS Of the utmost I'M
por,ance tina, an honest. upright Board Of
Aldermen and a worthy Mayor be select
ed. u is cheaper to register pow-S4 in
gseenbacks-by several quarters than it
will next Fall for greenbacks will rise
'twixt now and then! We do not in
stance this as much of an argument for
immediate registration; but it is an item
that will bear mention in this connection,
and pass for what it is worth. Let the
citizens who have the good Of the munich
pality at heart rally TO the rescue. Jones
is registering voters, with the boast that
he can buy his way into the Mayorality
again. Can he do il: VIII you permit
him 10 do so? Is not the very fact Of his
professed readiness to spend thousands to
secure his reelection sufficient TO demon
s,rate to q moral certainly that he wishes
reinstatement for special, ~pecuniary ben
e6ts He has his n around town
drumming up voters for him-among
whom are persons Ct lately labeled crimi-
nality. The cash book Of Justice Murray,
as Register, has a certain number Of names
1--WE have copies up to date marked across
in pencil Jones George F. being re-
sponsible for the 81 payment. What an
honor to the parties thus endorsed.l But
Notwithstanding all Jones efforts, q little
exer,ion by the people who have an abid-
ing interest in the community will secure
his defeat, and render his registration eS-
penditures so much account for loss on
his ledger. Il will make q hundred thou
sand dollars difference in favor Of Virginia
City finances, il the Jones pack are
slaughtered.
Col. AvERY.-This gentleman, so well
and favorably known to the people Of
Storey county, returned from the East on
the last steamer, and is now in Virginia
CITY. We saw him this morning, and he
told US he has come back TO stay tor good.
We are glad 10 hear il, as he as IS one OF
the very best business men, as well as one
of the kindesf and pleassntest men we
know Of. While absent, he had a very
severe spell of illness. and came 4" within
an ace" of leaving Washoe for all time /;
but he is all right again, although a little
thin Of flesh. Long may he live, not
only to benefit himself, but also TO shed
the radiance Of his jolly-good face upon
his fellows.
REruRSED.-Hon. David E. Buel, one
of the " solid" men Of Reese River, who
has been in the Eastern States for the last
six months, came up on the Carson stage
this morning, en- route for his home at
Austin. Dave looks well. and he told US
that the Eastern people have a good
opinion of Nevada. He predicts a
successful future for the Reese River
region, BY the assistance Of Eastern CAPT.
~,alis,s. Hope he may be right. The
Reese River country has thus far been
principally upheld and developed by the
un,iring energy Of such men as Buel. II
owes but very little for its prosperity to
the Coms,ock ledge or TO San Francisco.
UNION PRIxARIEs.-The Virginia city
Primaries will be open from IL a. N. to 7
p. ". on Saturday, the 2sth. No one will
be entitled to vote at said primary, ex-
cep, he be a registered voter and afirma-
lively answers the following questions, to
be propounded by the Judges: First
Did you vote for Lincoln and Johnson ut
the general election in 1854 Second.
Do you pledge yourself to supper, and
vote for the nominees Of the Union City
Conven.ions And no one will be eligible
as q delegate unless he be registered.
DESPERATE AND DIRTY ExrEDIENr
This morning, it was discovered that
scurrilous handful had been printed, ant
posted Throughout, Virginia City. by al
agen, Of Jones. II is probably writer
in Jones' Office; and it was charged tina
the printing was done in the Enterprt'
office. I, affects to urn over Jones chic
supporters to Piper; and ascrioes TO tn
latter some Of the mean actions OF IN
former. This low. cowardly method viii
hardly avail Scrippy for his nomination
The people are waking up on his case.
