Nevada; 4th, Judge Stephens, Field; 5th, C. H.
Bryan and C. II. Fkns, of ..Marysville 9Th, ,sCol.
II. P Watkins; 9TH, J.so Goodwin. There were.
doubtless, others connected with the case, but
have, think, named sufficient number to show
you that Barbour does not suffer for want of conn
sci. Ills present lawyers are Bryan, ,Filkns, Wat
kins Il Goodwin. Marshall, Mott Dunn dropt
him as they would " hot potato"
have not employed any counsel in the case. for
the reason that have the utmost confidence in Col
Hatch, the District Attorney, and because T felt
that by doing SO, would give a semblance to the
charge, already made against me, that am malic-
ously prosecuting Barbour. l. however, disclaim
any such motive. 'Tis true, had him indicted.
and l am, unfortunately the prosecuting witness
in the case. He committed a great outrage upon
my person, and would have taken my life if his
arm had not been stayed. He sneaked up behind
me, like cowardly assassin and struck me when
my back was towards him, and that, two when I
was engaged in conversation with another man.
Not content with the blow which he gave me, with
his ponderous fist, he drew his knife and swore he
would cut my " damned heart out )" and suiting
the actlon TO tne words, ne made the effort and was
failed by friend who arrested his arm. He did all
this without any cause or provocation. He did all
this to aid and assist broken down gambler, con-
vieted felon, to escape that punishment which his
numerous crimes, committed by him in California,
justly merited. IT'S true, Barbours friends have
endeavored to excuse fhe matter, by saying he was
drunk and that if he had been sober he would not
have done it. This is poor excuse indeed it is
no excuse at all. Drunkenness, in my opinion
instead of excusing, should add to the Nervousness
of his crime
L am now done. If my life be spared, I shall
again attend, a witness, before the Court of Ses
sions in Marysville, at its next term. Whatever
intentions l may have had relative to my future
course in this case, were all changed by an article
which appeared in the California Express in refer
ence to the postponement of this case at the last
term OF the court After reading that article. I came
to the conclusion that would attend court as wit
ness, in the case to the end of my existence should
it not be disposed of sooner.
Respectfully yours,

A FIRST RATE PUFF.-In the Su

A FIRST RATE PUFF-In the Su-
preme Court of Vermont, Mrs. Sarah A.
Mott was divorced from her husband, Mr.
Darwin Mott. The Rutland Herald
gives the following biography of this
worthy, which for pith is rarely equaled:
We know that man-Carwin Mott.
He came to St. Albans with long face,
silver headed cane, and "Rev." pre-
fixed to his name. He preached one
faith few months and suddenly chang
ed it. He preached asd went hunting
the same day. He preached on temper
ance-and the people were astonished
at his stolen lectures and feign ed homes
ty-and got drunk. He lectured the
young ladies, and played the adulterer.
He kept bad school-editeda reckless
paper-sto'e money and charged the
theft upon the servant girl-got the of
flee of deputy inspector-got drunk on
smuggled liquor-took one shirt, anoth-
er mans wife, and bundle of manu-
script sermons, and ran away from his
own wife, his paper. and crowd OF
creditors. \.

The CURSE OF GoLD.-The Boston
Traveller, in an interesting and general
ly correct dissertation ON the peculiari-
ties of gold bearing countries and gold
digging communities, makes the follow
ing remarks on California;:
The soil of gold regions is generally
poor. The men who seek such regions
go to them not as emigrants, but as ad-
venturers. So was it with the conquer
ors of Mexico, so it is with the multi
tudes who flock to California. They 90
and come, as eagles hasten to the prey,
and fly back to their nests in the noun
tains after their appetite is gorged and
they have filled their talons with some
thing to feed their young. This is es-
pecially the case with leading men of
business. They feel little responsible
ty for their conduct and lessIf for the good
of society. They have no home there;
tomorrow they will be off forever with
their earnings. What care they for the
fate Of those who are to follow them to
California. or for those who have be-
come permanent residents there2 Most
of the men that depart, and most of the
money that leaves California never re-
turns. The great sums reported from
month to month, as forwarded by the
ste amers from California, are a clear
drain from the State, and so far as she is
concerned might as well be poured into
the sea, or sunk in its depths as the
taeasure of the Central America was.
Thus she is drained to enrich other
States. The riches of,Mexico made her
poor. The gold of California is the
source of her wretchedness. She has
strong heart and rich blood, but the har-
pies. the vampires, are sucking that
blood.

ENGLISH CELEBRITlEs.-Henrv :

ENGLISH Communications J.
Raymond in his last letter from London
to the n. 7. Times, thus gives his i'm
pressions of sundry English celebrities
in Parliment and in the pulpit:
"Ihere are not many members of the
House of Commons who would pass with
us for eloquent men. Fluency-so COM
mon with us--is rare even among the
public men in England The Earl of
Derby, in the Lords, and Mr.. Gladstone.
in the House. are perhaps the best de-
baters in Parlilnent. Nothing can ex-
ceed the ease, the grace, and perfect
finish and eloquence of Mr.. Gladstone S
speeches. Mi Bright is more like our
most effective orators than any other En-
glish member. He is clear, strong, and
thoroughly in earnest. Lord Palmer
ston, whose speeches, when read, are so
perfect, has very bad delivery, but
Lord John Russell's is but little better.
Mr.. D'Israeli, who leads the House, is
solemn and affected to tie last degree,
and would scarcely be heard with pa
tience by an American audience. With
all these men the matter is more impor-
tant than the manner. Indeed. the En-
glish seem to have prejudice against
t1uehcy in speech, though was little
surprised to find the Saturday Review,
in recent number, denouncinga propo-
sed improvement in elocution, on the
ground that lack of readiness in express
sion of ones thoughts was pre- eminently
an English characteristic which the
nation was justly proud, and which must
by no means be intcrfered with. This
is certainly carrying national prejudice
to the extreme.
Invent to hear another English celeb
rity-Mr. Spurgeon, who continues to
preach to enormous congregations, and
with undiminished popularity, which it is
not easy to explain or understand He
is neither able nor eloquent. He is ex-
cessively commonplace in both matter
and manner. He has clear voice, very
great fuency in the construction ard ut
terance of sentences, and certain di-
rectness nhis style of thought and ex-
preston. But he is excessively shallow,
and frequently sophistical to degree
absolutely insulting to the understand
ing of his hearers. There are at least
half dozen clergyman in New York,
who are not only far abler preachers,
but who would seem to have the element
of popularity in far greater degree"
