BUFFALO BILL AND THE OTHERS.
The Opera House was crowded almost as fall as it would hold, last evening, by an audience, through which a few ladies were sprinkled, eager to see "Buffalo Bill," “Texas Jack," Buntline, the familiar writer, and the big injuns in their war paint. The entertainment was of a rugged and exciting nature and seemed to give complete satisfaction. It opened with a pleasant little comedy in which some very good acting was displayed, but we are unable to specify the actors as by chance the management had failed to receive their programmes and, hence, so had the audience. The play of "The Scouts of the Prairie" consisted of western, life scenes representing scouting enterprise, Indian friendship, white men's hate and turpitude, war parties, war dances, scalpings, rescues by the scouts, and closing with a the scouts and the Indians, with a flaming “prairie on fire" in the background. "Ned Buntline" (E. Z. C. JUDSON) appeared in his character of "Cale Dugrs." and filled it to the satisfaction of all. “Buffalo Bill,” (W. F. Cody) and “Texas Jack," (J. B. OMORHUNDRO,) drew hearty applause on their appearance, and after the first grand skirmish, in which "Durg" is rescued from the stake, were, with Bantline, called before the curtain by the wildest applause. Mlle MORLACCHI as "Dove Eye," was received with favor, and represented well the good side of the Indian character. "Hazel Eye'' was warmly applauded in her part of the pale-faced maiden, as he was cautious not to "give the name a bad place." The Indians were the real material and were decidedly interesting in their "death dance," "scalp dance," and their character as marks for the Scouts' bullets. Tonight the play will be repeated, and no doubt a large audience will witness it.
