The drama of "The Scouts of the Plains," is a sensational one, designed to bring out thrilling events and daring scenes peculiar to border life, and is well presented by the company. There are many amusing as well as thrillung scenes in it, and the government's peace policy with Indians is forcibly satirized. It is a drama which brings out the talent of more than one actor, and hence possesses additional interest. A half dozen or more characters are very prominent in it, and were well personated. Buffalo Bill has a splendid physique, and is a good actor. The company lavored under disadvantage on account of the small stage, which necessitated the crowding of the scenery, and circumscribed the field of operations of "villainous red skins," and worst of all, didn't offer full scope for Moriacchi, in her marvellously graceful dances. It is seldom that a theatrical performance here gives so much satisfaction as did the Scouts last evening.

This evening, both plays will be repeated, commencing at 8 o'clock, with [?] by Gilmore's Band. Secure seats early.
