millions of dollars of gold dust are no taken
from the mountain gold mines this year, and
some ten millions in 1860 though all the time
there will be, as now, stream Of rash adven-
turers heading away from the diggings, declar-
ing that there is no gold there, or next to none.
So it was in California and Australia.
The Lesvenworth Times of the 9th has pri-
vate advices from the mines to the 30lh ult Ii

TURKEY.-Accounts by the City of Baltimore
state that the excitement in the European pro-
vnces Of Turkey is on the Increase, and it is the
opinion of those who ought to know that an out
break cannot be much longer deferred. It seems
probable that Serva will take the lead, and all
eyes are turned on Novi Bazaar, which from It's
position, is place of the utmost importance 10
the Turkish army. To this point it is probable
that the undivided attention oflhe Montenegrin,
will be directed, as they have raised the seige
of the fortress of Klobuck, after several inef
iectual attempts to carry it by assault. Prince
Couzs election is still unsanctioned by the
Porte, and, inasmuch as he is decidedly anti
Russian, it was tho ught that the Grand Duke s

The State journal quotes literally from thu
accounts by the National Democrat and Plair
Dealer OF the Oberlin ovation to Bushnell, with
the following pat prefxes;
The democratic editors and reporters who
went down FROM Cleveland TO the Oberlin ju
bilation over the Rescuers, TO vent vast
amount ofparty spite and all the sarcasm at
their command on the inhabitants of that de
voted town, were every one converted Their
shafts of malice were TUNED into praises, and
like Balaams they returned prophesying bless
ngs on Oberlin. The National Democrat
calls it "OberIin unmasked, " and intimates that
the unmasking was rather pleasing than other
wise.
The T Flaindealer man was elevated to the pitch of
ecstacy by the beauty of the women, the music,
the hospitality Of the people aud the eloquence
Of John Langston Slightly coored.J He found
that a visit To Oberlin was fatal to his previous
knowledge Of the people.

Such tasks are anything but pleasant ones.

UNITED STATES CoURT.-The Court convened
at o'clock yesterday morning. The cases Of o.
s. B. Wall aud j. Il, Shipperd were nO,led on mo-
tion Of Judge Bliss. This was in consequences Of u
misnomer in the indictment, the former being in
deted as Oliver s b. Wall, instead of onesimus,
aud the latter as James r. Shipperd, instead OF
Jacob This might have been done, 30 far as we
can see, q long time ago, as the matter was known
TO tho prosecution. Perha 10 this system Of lille
gally keeping men in prison may be pleasant sport
fOr those who hold the power in their hands, but
in the opinion of every lover of liberty of decency
and flaw and order, all consider this fact as one
that will disgrace all those who have allowed aud
sustained It, There is no possible reason why these
two men should have been kept so long in jail
Indeed there can be no reason why they should
have been consigned to Jail at all, or ever brought
to Cleveland as prisoners. Let 1t be remembered
that o, 8. b. Wall and j. II. shipperd have been
suffering under false imprisonment for ten days
under the direction of the U, s, officers.
Judge Beden being absent, at Columbus, th'
further prosecution of the case against LangstOr
was postponed until tomorrow morning at
O'Clock. The gourtwill convene this morning iC
