NED BUNTLINE'S DRAMA. --This "big injun" performance is bound to be a financial success and have a run on the American stage. It will attract and pleas just the same class of people who enjoy Buntline's dimo novels, and it is precisely like them in all respects. It is no use talking, there are plenty of people who peruse and like them, and we dare say he has fifty renders where Walter Scott has one. They are the kind of book-worms who finish a volume of two hundred pages in a couple of hours, turning the leaves as fast as they can get the gist of them, regardless of anything but the "story." As soon as the plot is revealed, the pith extracted, the orange sucked, they throw the rest away. They read for amusement, for excitement and it was just that class who can appreciate the drama which was enacted at the Opera House last evening. The plot is filled with the most romantic, but most natural love, with thrilling esapes from foolishly perilous situations, with plenty of fine sentiments in the mouths of "Lo's" and with all glittering paraphernalia which is necessary to please the popular mind. It is dramatic gingr pop for those peole who thin the merit of chapagne the snapp and the fizz when the cork is drawn. But it has the merit of novelty and commended itsel flast evening to the frequent plaudits of a well entertained audience. One could not help but enjoy the wild and gypsy-like air that pervaded the whole performance, and we came away well pleaed with our evening with "Buffalo Bill."
