A SERIOUS AFFRAY occurred in Ameri.
can township, near Sacramento, on the 9th
inst. Mr.. ii. A. Caulfeld and his wife had
just crossed the ferry, when the former was
violently assaulted by two men named
Hudson, father and son, being struck on
the head by some iron instrument and bad
ly wounded. After being placed again up
on his horse, he was followed and fired at,
but the9shots did not take effect There
appears from the various reports of the
difficulty, to have been no immediate prov
ocation, but an old feud existed between
the parties, arising from difficulties as to
land claims.
