MONDAY MORNING. JUNE ls, 1859.
A aooRREor1oN CORRECTED.

"A
80
The Delta, of Saturday morning, contained long
and bitter attack upon certain decision OF Associate
Justice Cole. In its evening edition the following
3" correction " appeared:
CoRREcT1oN.-When we stated that all the
Judges of the present Supreme Court had been
elected by the Know-Nothings except one, we were
not aware that Judge VOORHEES, had taken his seat.
It should have been all but two.
The above F" correction sadly needs correcting.
We should not venture upon the task it not that
the character of our tribunal of last resort has been
violently and unjusty assailed. We shall be brief,
however. In the first place, Chief Justice Merrick
was neither nominated nor elected by the Know
Nothings.' He was not nominated by them, to our
certain knowledge. Besides, in the strong American
city of New Orleans, he was beaten by his Demo-
cratic competitor, Hon. J. X. Elgee, ll78 votes
Does this look as though he was elected by the
Know-Nothings? Judge Merrick was elected by
the Democratic parishes Of Red river and North and
North Western Lousiana-by the same parishes that
gave the Democratic State ticket that year three
four thousand majority.
Neither was Judge Cole elected by the Know.
Nothngs," nor did he receive any nomination
from them, to our knowledge. That portion Of his
District in New Orleans gave him but meagre ma.
jority. But his great personal worth, his eminent le
gal Abilities unspotted character and general popu
larity, elected him. The parish of Assumption is
usually certain to give from five to six hundred Dem
ocratic majority. 1t gave Judge Cole considerably
more than one hundred majority! We cite this sim
Pile fact to demonstrate how utterly unfounded are
the intimatons Of our contemporary.
The decision rendered by Judge Cole, so violently
assailed by the Delta, was unanimously concurred
in by the entire Bench, so we are informed by good
authority. Thus it will be seen, the Delta reflected
not only upon our entire Supreme tribunal, but upon
two regularly nominated and elected Democratic
Judges-Messrs. Land and Voorhees,! Having sane
toned the decisions they as much responsible for
any evil it contains if it contains any, as Judge Cole
So it is clear that the partisanshp of the Delta dis
appointed and envenomed has reached to such 9
pitch Of ruthless recklessness that it not how
much it may ipjure friends if it can only reach sup
posed foes. However, with this we have nothing tc
do. We started out to correct so-called correc
ton" Having done that, our object is accomplished

Six HUNDRED DOLLARS WORTH OF GOLD Dust
Some little excitement was created in Market Square
yesterday, by an individual who had just arrived
from Cherry Creek and who gave ont that be had six
hundred dollars worth of genuine yellow dust right

Cherry Creek diggings. AS there is smart sprink-
ling Of scepticsm on this subject the crowd gath
cred around in great numbers eager to see the gilt
tering stuff. They called on the gold individual with
one accord to come out and show the DUST to which
he readily assened, drawing forth goose quill par
TALLY filled, saying Here it is" But" said the
multitude "there is no six hundred dollars worth Of
gold" with great nonchalance.. ne of Cherry Creek
replied 90 That is what it coss me- and by the time
some of you get as much ,on will think it is worth
double that sum The 1rowd of gold hunters left the
scene in high DISCUS. lChieago paper.

KAvAGEs OF FROST IN THE NORTH.-The New
York Times OF the 7th says:
The telegraphic reports of injury to the growing
crops by the frosty weather of Saturday night last
are very alarming. There was snow on the ST. Law
renee and far south Cincinnati the reports tell
Of the most serious damage, not only to the small
fruits but to apples grapes corn, wheat and pota-
toes. From the northern portion Of Ohio and the
western counties of New York the reports are
equally dscouraging. The damage may not be as
great as the reports indicate, bnt the effects OF the
frost must prove very disastrous.

THE TRIAL OF THE REV. Mr.. HARDEN.

From Our Own Reporter oc ,e-o
The Court of Oyer ard Terminer, which was ad'
iouned from ast week until this time, convened here
to-day.
The Hon. Edward W. whepley Circuit Judge,
presided, assisted by VIM. n. Sharp, james Dawson,
ard John Moore, esqrs.
When the Court was opened, Judge Whelpley ir-
quired if the prosecutor ready to move the in
dc,m ent against Jacob s. Harden for murder.
Mr.. Vlie the prosecutor, arose, and said that on
Friday last he called upon DIR. James K. Chiffon of
NewYork very important witness for the State, and
found him sick in bed. He also called upon his ply
sicsp, ard informed by him that i was imposs ole
for DR.. Chiffon to attend at Bevdere at present He
then moved the Court to put of the trial to future
time, to be appointed by the Court.
Mr.. Shipman counsel for the prisoner, asked the
Court to postpone the trial until the next regular Tenn,
which commences here on the fourth Tuesday IN De-
cenber, and urged in support thereof, a variety OF
reasors. Mr. Depru also suggested some reasons for
a pos,poIement until that time.
Judge Whelpey, siier consulting with his Asso
ciates said that ii he consulted his convenience,
he would sccede 10 the request of the prisoners cour
eel; but a regard TO the public interests constrained
him TO decide otherwise. This indictment, said he,
found at the last Term of this Court and the prs
had remained in confinement for Elk months, and
his tuson ard the public interests called for speedy
trial. Besides lengthy postponement put 10 jeopardy
the rights of both State and prisoner by increasing
the rsk Of oes of wi nesses by death. The Court,
therefore concluded to set down the trial OF this in
dictment on Tuesdsy the 2jth of October next.
Lcng before the Court was opened, the Court room
dersely crowded, ard every avenue leading to it.
The aged father of the prisoner was IN attendance.
Much sympathy is manifested for him by the entire
community.
DR. James r. Chiffon of your city is the ehenist
who aLayzed the contents of the stomach CT the wife
OF prisoner and although the State does not rely upon
his testimony exclusively to show that she died Of poi
son, yet it is considered prudent and advisable to pro-
duce him, in order to do away with any prsjadiee
which might be brought to bear upon the case by his
nonnfodnctiCn.

SIR: The letter of Mr.. Greeley IN this morning
paper while it contains graphic account of the gisnt
trees of California as he saw them affords proof that
trees as well as prophets are not well understood IN
their own country. The statement that the trees pro-
duce neither "seed-cone or nut - was probably re-
ceved from Others So far from this being the fact
the fruit is well known in the collection. Of botansts
in evidence Of which fact send you specimen. The
e.eds have been propse sted and youpg trees are or
sale by borticutursts in this country and 10 Englsnd
indeed we learn from the recent English horticultural
journals that the tree has been made 70 fruit 10 thai
country result probably obtained by grating. ln
regard TO the relationship and true hame OF the tree
nav say Il at when II first discovered an Engnsh
botapist in defiance Of custom, named II ater their
great General, Uehngtonia Such glaring misnomer
aroused the national feeling Of some American botan-
is who proposed to supersede 1t by the equally nap
propriate one of WdskRg because
the names of cutvstors Of botanical science should
alone be p~rpetuated in this way, and the napes OF
those en- nent in other pursuits left TO lind immortality
in their own way. Tue matter of names was, however,
put 70 rest by Prof Touey, who, a. soon as he re-
ceiyed specimens of the fruit and flowers OF the big tree
decided that il was own brother TO the well known and
valuable redwood which was botanicslly krown as
forota senperrirns and that the OF the Cahior
man wonder must be seguoia gigaMea. Those inter-
ested in the matter will find full account of this re.
makabe tree in the fourth volume OF the Pacific Kali
road Reports. !.
