SHASTA COURI Err
San Francisco Correspondence.


The spirit of fairness inherent in our na
ture induces us to givespace to the following
letter, which explains itself The delicate
compliment to the superior character and
circulation of the COURIER, as compared with
the Appeal, may have its weight; we don t
know we are too modest, perhaps. We
hope the Appeal won't get mad, but overlook
any little weakness we may exhibit IN yield
my to the fattery.
San FRAxc1sco, January l3, 1866.
PPoPRIEroRs SHASTA COURIER = Gentle
men-I noticed in your paper OF the oth INST.
an article headed . Bad Egg, in which you
allude to an Infamous attack made upon me
by the Carson Appeal, and endorse the same.
Now. gentlemen, | am not acquainted with
either of you and never had any business
transaction with your paper, and cannot
conceive the cause Of your alluding to the
matter in your columns. I did not reply to
the attack of the Carson Appeal for the rea-
son that that paper had neither circulation
nor influence to warrant my noticing their
calumnious statements publicly, but as the
Shasta COURIER has seen fit to allude to the
matter, YOU will oblige me by inserting tins
statement In the first place there was but
n very small amount Of the advertising sent
to the Appeal that was due at the time the
article was written, and what was due was
not collected, in the second place the state
ment made to them by Thomas Boyce adTer-
tisng agent was lie. In the third place
there are several ads in the list that are not
vet due. In addition to the above the Pro
prietors of the Appeal wrote to me to send
them ads and not the reverse as stated by
them. As to the Carson Post the predecessor
of the Appeal they never inserted the ads
sent but thre weeks when the time contracted
for was three months. The Appeal article
bears upon its face evidence of having been
written at the instigation of Boyce for the
purpose of iniuring me in my business, but
he has most signally failed for the
business community look upon the article
with . business eyesH and those that know
NE know that poverty is my only crime, my
business is and always has been conducted
upon the " squair" and there is not a man in
christendom that can say that | ever wrong
ed him of a cent without his uttering an
infamous Lie as to your boast that you had
an honest agent and priding yourselves upon
your superior shrewdness in not accepting
our offered services, and thereby preserving
yourselves from being swindled. | have only
to say that you are indebted to me through
other agencies for more than one advertise
ment for wich You have been payed, hoping
that the next time you propose to publish
anything injurious to me, you will first in
vestigate the truth of the matter-I have the
honour to subscribe myself
Your well wisher

SMALL Pox Notwithstanding all the
precautions epjoined and adopted in view
of the presence of this dread epidemic, it
steadily gains ground. We hear recently
of quite a number of deaths from small
pox, among them a Mr. Rawlings, a
highly respectable and well known ciIi
zen, living near Chelsea, died last Satur-
day. The pest-house is long since full,
and patients, We are told, cease to BE-
caIr ed there. In the country the dis
ease is spreading also. At Forrest Hill,
one or two cases have terminated fatally;
also at LaGrauge and other points. The
following paragraph, from the Columbus
(Ga Sun, of the OH, inst, furnishes an
excellent suggestion for the civil and mill
tary authorities Of Memphis /:
After mutual consultation with Capt
Mosebach, of the Freedmen's Bureau, II
has been deemed best that the assem-
bling of negroes at night for divine wor.
ship or at parties should be prohibited fol
the present, and orders to that effect have
been issued. This is done on account o.
tie prevalence of smallpox, and the
great majority Of cases being from The
colored population. The disease is more
easily contracted at night than in the
daytime, and one case might communI
cate it to hundreds. The action is proper
and timely, and The necessity will pass
away before many days. A majority OF
cases now ir the city arose from negroes
who had the disease. assoeiating with
others. The military authorities are
convinced Of the necessity Of the order
and approve its execution.
