Direct from the cold Naines.

The Galena Advertiser of the 18th says that
Mr.. E. c.. Ichern. of Dodgville, Wisconsin, has
Just returned from the Cherry Greek Gold
Fields, whittier he went last November. He
walked in from the mines $50 called to Leaven-
worth City in twenty-one days. He is an old
miner, and his evidence of the small value of
the country for mining purposes, goes to show
that it is q humbug. almost, if not quite, equal
to that Of Fraser River. He worked much and
diligently, but the most he. ever made in one
day at mining was taee,d yJfUs cents He says
further, that many he saw actually crying for
something to eat. He met an immense emil
grafton going thither, on whom his discoura-
ging story had nc other apparent effect than to
urge the crowd forward. Large quantities of
provisions were on the way; but Mr.. Ichern
says the people in the mines have nothing to
buy with when they get there, and thinks they
will be found so maddened with hunger, as to
take possession of them by force.

rzH DIFFERENCE.

While Judge Wilson, and his plant Democrat
lie jury, were engaged at Cleveland in the trial
and conviction of BUSHNELL, for violating the
provisions of a law utterly abhorrent to the
moral sense of the citizens Of the Northern
States, and Of the. constitutionality of which
serious doubts are entertained, another trial of
a somewhat kindred nature was progressing be-
fore a similar tribunal at Charleston, South
Carolina After one grand jury had refused to
indict the officers and crew Of the SLAYER Echo,
captured some time since by a o.. s. vessel, an
other jury was empanelled aad indictments
found, upon which the accused were brought to
trial. The offence was one declared by a law
of Congress to be piracy, punishable with death
the proof of guilt was clear and conclusive
the result, acquttA! This verdict is in beauti-
full contrast with that rendered at Cleveland,
over which Ohio Democratic papers are so ex-
.travagantly jubilant, and forcibly illustrates
quirements of the constitution and enforcing
the laws, whether the alleged infraction occurs
North or South of Mason & Dixon's line, and
how the interests of slavery are affected by
conviction Or acquittal. The fugitive slave
is utterly odious to the people of Ohio, yet
its penalties are inflicted in our midst-the law
against the slave trade, approved until recent
" by the public sentiment of all civilized coun.
tries, is now in conflict with public sentiment in
some of our Southern States, and it is eaectu-
ally nulliied and set at defiance by Courts and
jurfes. In. explanation and justification of this
Sonth Carolina verdict, hear what the Charles
ten Mercury, the great organ Of Democracy
IN that thoroughly Democratic State, has to
say u
at is most probable they may have been
with thinking that it would be not on
Y inconsistent, but cruel and hypocritical for
them, as members Of a community where slaves
are bought and sold every day, and are as
much and as frequently articles of as
the sugar and molasses which they produce, to
pass condemnation and a verdict of guilty of
death upon men whose only crime was that
they were going to a far country to bring in
more supplies of these articles of trade, these
commodities; and in this case not even to tres
pass upon our soil, but to carry them to a for
eign land-to Cuba-and merely throw them
into the market of the nations.
1t is most probable that this was the indu-
cing ground of the verdict, and, if so, every
1ther case will be the echo to this. Further
prosecution, is idle, expensive and vain"

Has terminated, after occupying the attention
of the Court some twenty-four- days. The re-
suit is the acquittal of the accused, as was an
ticipated from the start and was clearly indi-
Gated IN various ways as-the tfihI approached
its close. Public. sentiment, the COUNTRY over,
seems to justify killing under such cireumstan-
ces, and especially is such the case at the Ma
tional Capital. The law defines the act as muir
der, or at least ma~nSIaughter, but when public
sentiment is in conflict with the law. juries do
not find much difficulty in evading its require
ments. The close Of the trial Will deprive the
city journals OF their daily quantum of pu-
crescent matter under the heading IT ''Sickle's
Trial" and the Disgusting details viii 20 longer

and the excitement that prevailed at the time.
Of the rendition of the verdict was extrava-
giant in the extreme, according to the account
for publication by that fast friend
and strong advocate of the aaccused-the eetter
up of the Washington telegraphie dispatches.
To such an extent did the crowd that surroun-
ded the Court House carry their enthusiasm
that they actually attempted to remove the
horses from the carriage that conveyed him
from the scene of the late trial, and make more
thorough donkeys Of themselves by taking the
