Marysyille Correspondence.
MARYsv1LLE. Oct. 9Th 1856

My Dear Crossette:
As intend returning to Oroyills very
shortly, perhaps | might as well reserve
what | am about TO say in writing, and COM
municate 1t to you by word of mouth" but
there are one or two matters that | think
deserve especial mention in the column, Of
the Record, and for fear they will get cold
and suffer from neglect, will anticipate nv
return BY thus telling you few important
facts.
What I wish more particularly to allude
to more than anything else, is an article
that appeared in this mornings Htrcd in
reference to the recent outrage committed
in San Francisco, where the Rev. DR.. Scott
was banged in effigy.
After indulging in one Of its stereotyped
strains Of invectiyes against the Law and
Order party. and hanging anew Casey and
Cora, and again banishng Maoney, Duane
Co, IT delivers itself of the following un-
founded TRADE OF black kguardism against the
California EIPress:
The wOrthes who preside over the la
named sheet, are especial subjects for the
Doctors most devout prayers. They can go
to horse race and to church on q Sunday,
aud in their paper of Monday, sp'ak in
higher praise of the race than of the sermon.
They can SANDER a respectable clergyman.
and deny him a hearing in his own defense"
the balance of the biliDgsgate is Of too
scurrilous nature to report
In this malicious abuse of gentlemanly
contemporaries, Mr.. Lull has not only lower
ed himself to the position of q villiher, but
has done so without the most remote cause,
and has woi ked himself up to pitch of ho-
ly horror about something that never hap
pened HIS accusation about the race, was
4 Ilrff M rod lva tnfa ~
which appeared in Mondays Express.
To prove how little truth there Is in his
statement, and how willing he is to accuse
without inquiring into the facts Of the case.
| viii state that made that report myself,
that the race happened on Saturday instead
OF Sunday, and that neither of the Eiitors
were on the course at the time of the race.
This much of the matter proved false, tho
remainder merits no notice
An editor that will condescend to make
such gross misstatements IN one particular.
i is unworthy of belief in anything he may
: sly.
S Fl ON the fact that was partially the capse
OF this slander, having reported the race
myself, feel in duty bound to refute the
charge, aud place the editors Of the Express
:. in a right position before the eyes Of the pub.

theme here. l have had the pleasure Of
meeting Mr.. Hawks, Mr.. Lippencott, and

hat Buck and Breck arc right side up. -

and can bear testimony to his zeal in the
r. cause and viii pronounce his acknowledged
superiority ms an eloquent orator, only
D. equaled by his rare social qualities, and his

Distinguish the candidate for Senator Of Yu-
Of ba county, Mr.. Lippencott.
&c Every body knows Mike Gray, the nomi-
nee for the joint Senatorship OF Yuba and
J. Sutter, and knowing him, OF course will vote
e for him
For the benefit of your business man"
oi will say, that Mt the election on Monday

Hotel O. NJ. Evans. the proprietor, and
Col George Stanton. the major domo, are
too well known to the inhabitants Of ''old
Butte as kind and obliging gentlemen, to
; require any endorsement at my hands
: The Black Republicans held a meeting
Y last night, and the wh0ie scUfn Of ;hcm were
i present. They approved of the hanging in
\ efiigy of DR.. Scott, in San Francisco, and
one OF the party stated it as bis belief that
] it was done at the Rev. Doctors own sug-
D gestion! There is an original ''gunny bag
idea for you.
Thank heaven. these fanatics are few and
S far between. They comprise but n very
= small portion Of the inhabitants of Marys-
Vile. and their numbers are decreasing ey-

l shall probably be with you tomorrow or
next day. Until then adieu
As ever, yours in the faith.
