HrGu.HAYDED 0UrRAGE.-EveninS be-
fore last James Rice and John Slime, n
couple of teamstcrs on the Divide,
probably induced by bad whisky, got on
the wal path, and were DESTROYS Of
whipping a Gold Hitler or So probably
induced by a rough handling they got
from some Gold Hill miners they got
into q difficulty with a short time ago.
They didn't seem to care who they
whipped on this occasion, provided no
was a Gold Hitler, but failing to meet
one, they started along @ street, bent
on carrying war into Virginia. They
came across u couple old men on the
Divide, whom they pitched into rcck-
lessly, beating them in a most shame
full manner, and next stopped at
a little cottage near the old
Bajazettc works, where they found
a little Chileno whom they took a no.
ton to knock down and kick most
brutally, iniicting very severe and per-
haps fatal injuries. Cruising further
down C street they managed to thrash
another old man who got in the way,
and after abusing and msltreating whom
they pleased, with perfect IMMUNITY,
they were at length arrested in Piper,s
Opera House, and put in the city Jail
opposite. Yesterday they were brought
before Recorder Addison, who fined
them $50 each on three separate charges
of assault and battery, and held them
to bail i n the sum Of $500 each, on charge
of assault with intent to kill, in the
case Of the little Chileno, whose name
is Jose Salinas. We called on him this
morning where hei $ lying, ut the saloon
Of Mercedes Navarro, on south G street.
He is badly bruised about the head, and
all day yesterday as well rs this morn
ing he had spells Of vomiting blood,
being evidently severely injured inter
nally. These persons so badly beaten
are all of tbs most inoffcnsive character,
and the attack upon them was entirely
without tie least show Of Justiti-
cation, indeed the guilty parties offered
no excuse on trial except that they were
ON a drunk. 1t would seem from the
light fines imposed by Recorder Adki-
son that old men or weakly, inotfensive
individuals may hereafter be knocked
down and beaten, at will, for $50 apiece
BY anybody who chooses TO so on a
drunken lark. This is well enough
perhaps in Virginia, but we charge
more down at Gold Hill. If such u
state of things is to be allowed, it would
be a good idea to repeal all laws
relative to carrying deadly weapons,
and let everybody have q fair show.
The two perpetrators Of this high-hand-
ed outrage, are represented to be very
peaceable; good sort Of men under or
binary circumstances, but badly dis
posed when in liquor. They should
hereafter avoid bad whiskey, and we
hope the present difficulty will be q
salutary lesson to them.
PIpERs' OPERA HousE.-Thc grand
complimentary benefit to Eagle Engine
Co. No. 3, last evening, at the Opera
House, was as fully attended as any one
| could desire, the spacious theater being
crowded in every part, and the enter
| taiument the best we have seen for some
time. That double clog dance by Miss
Josephine and Jimmy Murphy, was the
best we ever seen, for exact perfection
and concert of motion and time, excel
lence, beauty, and variety Of step, they
are unequaled. Mr.. Murphy has been
engaged, and will hereafter appear regu-
larry at the Opera House. Fanny Hanks
rccited the " Firemcn's Address" in her
own unapproachable style, and in re-
Spouse to an encore, she tackled old
Sheridan, and sent him bucking down
the road at a gay old rate, " from VIM
chester, twenty miles away" Our Bill
Gibson, of Gold Hill, made the greatest
natural hit Of the evening, in the grand
Scamp Meeting Hymn" Some twenty
apostles, of the Jim Gray and George
Birdsall stripe appeared with him on
the stage in the interlude, and forming
a circle, Bill, rs presiding Elder, after
a short but eloquent exhortation, sang
a regular old niger camp meeting hymn,
all hands joining in the chorus with pc
culiar vim and effect. Had Gibson and
all hands been bleached, the thing would
have been perfect, especially when Mt
the conclusion Of each verse he went
round shaking hands with the brethren.
Alb! Gibson, you must have been there
before. Otto Burbank appears tonight
again. "Ladies' night" Friday.
Iaox HonsEs FOR THE SIERRA.-Thc
| Central Pacific Railroad Company have
lately turned out from their shop in this
city, says the Sacramento Record, six
new locomotives of the most approved
STYLES each of which has all of the latest
improved attachments. These engines
are named as follows: Idaho, Sampson,
Goliah, Ajax, Achilles and Antelope
Tho Idaho is designed for freight ser
vice. We regard it as a particularly
fue specimen Of workmanship, and pre-
dict that its performances will ear us
