EXAMINATION OF THE AccusED.-Ths

SqulerS MS being tnat OF tue mou WV
acted as Captain to the robbers on the
occasion of the stopping and %plundering
Of the coach; they also swore that the
general appearance and walk Of Squiers
and Dale were the same as that OF the
two most active robbers on the occasion.
Mrs. Magee said that the voice Of
| Suuiers was very peculiar and she could
not be mistaken in it. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Magee had heard the prisoners con-
verse in the station-house previous to
the c~ramination). She also said that
at one time she saw the back part Of
the Captains head and that the color Of
) his hair was dark brown (brown black),
the same as that of Squiers. She saw
his head when it was very bright moon
light and also noticed that he appeared
10 have large chin whiskers tucked
under his cloth mask. Badly Green's
account of the robbery was substan-
TALLY the same as that given by the
other witnesses, and differed so little
from the account published at the time
that we will not repeat it here. The
men have nothing Of the cast Of coun-
tenauce or ferocity Of expression popu-
larly supposed to characterize the high
waymau, but from the evidence adduced
his Honor deemed it best to bind them
in the sum of So, 900 each to appear and
answer before the Grand Jury.
PIpERs' OPERA HoUsE.-0f the man
ner in which Othello" was performed
at the Opera House last evening, with
Mccullough as the Moor, and Barrett as
Iago, we need not speak at present.
Suffice it to say that it was just as it
should be, and fully justified our former
criticism upon their respective merits as
actors, in the same play. Tonight the
Barrett-McCullough theatrical season.
the best ever known in this State
closes, and most appropriately, too,
with a grand complimentary benefit to
Mr. Mccullough. It will be a perfect
ovation, aud a deserved one, for the re-
cipient is a man in every sense of the
word, than whom a more gentlcmanly,
correct and unpresuming never came
among us. In fact Washoe has a
partial claim upon him as one OF
her proteges, so to speak, ne
having here made his first great
mark in his profession and went forth
Endorsed to the world as an actor equal
to the best of them and inferior to
none. That he will have the fullest
house Of the season, all predict and
without q doubt every inch Of room will
be fully occupied. The play for the oc.
casion will be Damon and Pythias."
LIGHTNING EXPRESS TINE. - Wells, |
Fargo l. Co. have established o light
two-horse express wagon line between
Reno and Virginia, which takes the let
ters and light express matter immedi-
ately on the arrival Of the cars at Reno
and runs it through to Virginia by six
o'clock every evening. 1t was this ex-
press which made the time through in
an hour and forty minutes evening be-
fore last, instead Of the new Pacific
Union Express, rs we had it in yester-
days News. We were misinformed, |
and hasten to 60 back on it. Render
into Caesar" etc. The time made last
evening was one hour and forty-fve
minutes, including two stoppages on
the route to change mails. They expect
to improve even upon this fast time
when they get all things fully regulated.
This new arrangement will be found a
great accommodation to the business
public, as people can get their letters
and light express packages considerably
in advance Of the stages.
COLLECTING THE FuYps.-Elder Glib
son and other members Of the Gold Hill
Finance Committee are out to-day col
lectiug funds wherewith to defray the
expenses Of the coming celebration.
At noon, they informed US that al
though they had been circulating but a
short time, yet they were succeeding
admirably, and the fluids were being
subscribed very literally. The Vir-
ginia Finance Committee reported the
same fio%urishing state Of affairs yestrr-
day afternoon. There will be no dim
Guilty in raising all the money required,
and We shall have q celebration the like
Of which has not been seen in Storey
county for the last two years, at least.
FAcrIoSAL FIzzLE.-Thc weakly at
tempt by certain disseminated f%actionists
10 Virginia to get up q sort Of branch
celebration on the Fourth Of July, and
thus detract all they could from the
general harmony Of the great Union
celebration Of the people Of Gold Hill
and Virginia, we are gratiied to know,
has ended as all such partisan attempts
should, in q fizzle. All will go right,
on the Fourth.
