O'Clock, only eleven men Of the whole yenire
had been accepted as competent, the others hay-
ing entertained or expressed an opinion with
regard to the case. The Court then took a re-
cess until three o'clock. The Sheriff mean
while summoned an additional number, ont
of which the panel was increased to twenty
one. The Court directed tie Sheriff TO sum-
mon twelve more, and discharged the witnesses
In the case until ten o'clock this morning.
IL was the determination of the Court to COM
piete the panel and have the jury sworn last
night, SO that any farther delay in the proceed
ings might be avoided
ihe difficulty in making up jury, under
the circumstances, was of course anticipated.
the officers were compelled to summon citi-
zens in hurry yesterday. and in most in
stances the necessity so suddenly imposed
subjected them to much Inconvenience. One
gentleman had come to town with his WIFE,
and was forced to leave her unpro tected. and
unable to get back home by herself lie pre-
sented his petition 10 Judge Clopton for relief

That paper, which has done SO much to fire

exciting news from the Gold Mines and tall
stories of rich nuggets 7 But read -:
ST LOUIS, June l0.-Advices by the ex
press coaches from Denver city to the lst have
{ been received at Leavenworth. They contain
extraordinary reports calculated to renew the
gold fever with ten fold more virulence than
ever. Rich nuggets have been discovered on
the north fork of Vasques Creek, principally
coarse gold and decomposed quarts. Grea'
excitement prevailed all through the country
The statements of yields at Gregory's and 9th.
er mining companies are almost fabulous. A
company from Indiana is making from $3.50
TO $500 per day. Other accounts are of the
same character and unvarying Macy letters
written under the influence of the prevailing
excitement are in strong contrast with previ
Gus gloomy reports. The dust taken out o
Gregory alone is estimated at $4,000. Den.
yer city is almost depopulated by peop e leav
ing for the mountains. Provisions continued
scarce. $4,000 were offered for claims. =
Subsequent arrivals will determine the certain
ty of this Information, but no accounts now
received differ N their tenor. Rich specimens
were received by this arrival This commu
nifty is intensely excited.
