Mr. Chas. Melville, advance arents of "The Prairie Scouts" troupe, is now in this city, marking arrangements for the appearance of this troupe here, on the 20th. The advertisement will appear in tomorrow GAZETTE and meanwhile, we insert the following notice of one of their performances clipped from a Washington paper.
Wall's new Opera House was literally crammed last night to witness the second rendition of "The Prairie Scout" by Ned Buntline's troupe of scouts same as the night before, and the enthusiasm was unbounded. Bessies Sudlow is one of the most versatile little actresses we know of and whether she be killing Wolf Slayer, piloting the scout, freeing Hazel Eye, or singing a song and acting opera, she is equally good in all. Hazel Eye seems the right person in the right place, and performs her part admirably.
The usual amount of shooting and whooping scalping and dying, &c., took place, and filled the house with burnt powder and unbounded applause. Mr. Davenport is as good an actor as there is in the company, and in the opening comedietta is whole team and a big dog under the wagon.
