A CARD.

MEssRs. EDITORS SHASTA CoURIER:-Gents-
In the Shasta Herald of the llth inst an adyer-
tisement appears under the head of Statement
of S. j. Nutter," in which said Nutter attempts
to cast an imputation upon my character and to
whitewash his cowardly attempt TO take my life.
To persons to whom this Nutter is known an
answer to his statement is unnecessary, as his
character for veracity is so well known that his
statements are harmless. But as he has thought
proper to advertise his private affairs, respect
for the opinions of those to whom may not be
personally known renders q reply necessary.
pronounce this statement of Nutter's, like all
else that emanates from him, tissue of false
hoods and misrepresentation. He states that
first assaulted him with club. This is not
true, and he knows it to be untrue. Shafsr and
Church, who were the only persons present, both
state that used no weapon but my hands and
feet that made no assault upon him until he
attempted, without provocation, to take my life
with gun, and that acted wholly on the de-
tensive. These persons are irreproachable, and
Nutter did not dare to attack their evidence
lie also carefully conceals in his statement that
he gave me three several stabs with his knife,
thereby greatly endangering my life, although
he utters falsehood by saying I seized his
hands as soon as he got his knife. may also
add, what he should have have had the honesty
and truthfulness'to confess, that had it not been
for the misplaced sympathy of the jury and the
Court, he would now be convicted felon in the
State Prison. AS to his statement about our
accounts, &C., am aware that the public can
feel no interest in them, but I may say that
greater tissue of falsehoods were never put to-
gether, and that any one who is so lost to shame
as thus to belle the honest truth is beneath con-
tempt, and should not be allowed with the i'm
punlty always possessed by towards to assaiI
| honest men,
What is more hard than the hardest2 If YOU

Horace Greeley.

This man. the famed editor of the New York
Tribune, is expected to arrive in Sacramento
shortly We observe that at a meeting of the
citizens of that city-the following resolution
was adopted
Resolved, That we give cordial and hearty
reception to Horace Greeley, on his arrival in
this city, as friend and advocate of the inter-
ests of this State, and we do it without distinc-
ton Of party, as citizens thereof And the fol-
lowing gentlemen were appointed as commit
tee of reception:
L. Upson, C. T. Bolts, j. McClatchy, j. c.
Zabriskie Mark Hopkins, j. B. Marshall j. F.
Morse, A. Reddington, E. McCartv, L. A. Booth,
S. S. Hail. ]. H. Neavitt, H. S Nichols, c.
Croeker, D. Meeker, added by request.
We confess our surprise to see some of the
names mentioned in the foregoing connection.
We admit that Horace Greeley has advocated,
in some important instances, the interests of
this State but then at the same time, we can
not be blind to the fact that he has done more
than any other man, living or dead, to unloosen
the bonds of this Union Believing this, we
would sooner have our right hand palsied than
give him the grasp of welcome to these shores
Arnold did good service in the cause of Amer
lean liberty, on the battlefield That did not
save him from the wthering scorn and execra-
tions of his countrymen, when he sought to
prevent the establishment of our liberties. So
with Greeley He has our thanks for advocating
q Pacific Rail Road but it is due that we pour
out scorn upon him for raising his parricidal
hand against the Union.

A FRIEND-When man is in a suffering
state, the word or act of sympathy touches the
soul, and awakens emotions of love and graft
tude. Yesterday while contemplating the pos
sibility of liquifying, because of the excessive
heat, our good friend, W. McTurck, of McTurcks s
saloon. next adjoining our Office, came gliding
into our sanctum pia the rear door, with music in
his voice, a smile on his countenance, aud a
silver server of sherry coblers in his hands
when instead of liquifying we liquori6ed.

DISTRICT CoURT.-In this Court the great case
of Ludwig rs. Howe ct al, has gone to the jury,
after three weeks examination of witnesses,
and one weeks argument of counsel. The jury
have some forty points to pass on, and they,
that is the outsiders do say that that the jury
is slightly worried. We would not be surprisd
if every one of them is not chock full of law
If so, the chances are that Judge Danger6eld
will shortly be called upon to admit quite lot
of gentlemen as new practitioners before his
Court

GREAT TRoTTIYG RAcE.-The great double
team trotting match, between "Nathan Allen
and mate, and Lantern" and mate, came off
over the Union Course, Long Island, on the sth
of May, for purse of $4,000. Mile heats
Best three in FIVE to wagons Nathan Allen
won. Time: 2:244-2:274 -2:40-2:35-2:
The first heat of the race is the fastest on record.
Flora Temple made precisely the same time, but
she trotted in single harness. 1t was thought
that Lantern showed the greatest speed, but lost
the race by breaking into galop several times.
Ethen Allen was thoroughly honest, and did
not break trot from beginning to end.

THE BRIDGE OF BUFFALoRA-This bridge at
which the Austrians fred the FIRST guns in the
war now waging in Italy, spans the Ticino river,
the northern boundary line of Sardinia. 1t is
thus described by a traveller:
This bridge is 1000 feet long, and is the fin
est bridge | ever away from city or town.
1t has eleven arches of uniform size, and is
built of immense blocks of hewn granite, at
cost of nearly 100000. Such bridge could
not be built for a million of dollars in the
United States The parapets are of hewn
granite in immense blocks, four feet high, two
feet wide and six feet long sidewalks on each
side of solid blocks of granite, and double train
ways of the same material for carriages. In
deed, the bridge is perfect and withal so sternly
simple that not dollar appears to have been
expended for mere ornament. Unless blown up
by gunpowder, or thrown up by an earthquake,
it would last until the end of time.
