"Ruat Jus,ilin Flat Coelum."

As we announced, editorially, in connec-
ton with malicious paragraph emenating
from the Lafayette Journal, and copied by
tho New York Tribune, in reference to the
ministerial character of the Rev. j. S.
HASKELL, late Pastor of the Congregational
Church, in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, that in our
opinion, from the evidence and testimonials
presented to US, it was false and malicious
Islander. This has been fully coroborated
BY the Tribune Of the 1th of June, in which
the editor of that paper states he has re-
ceivcd official resolutions from the Mount
Pleasant church, at its regular meeting on
the 10th of May, which completely denies
the charges against him, and fully endorses
him as man and minister. The Tribune
acknowledges their qualification in receiving
thi, satisfactory testimony in his favor from
those who know him best. We learn that
during the time Mr.. HASKELL had charge Of
that society, there were over one hundred
and thirty conversions in the Mt. Pleasant
an1adjoining church-the Sunday School
creasing from Is to $50 scholars, and the
society never before in so prosperous con.
,lition as when he left it. The sole cause of
the sIauderous falsehood circulated against
Mr.. II. being the expulsion Of n disorderly
member from the society, through his in

The NcWl from the Mines.

There is no longer any doubt about the
existence of gold IN great abundance on the
Eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains
The silly cry Of " Pixies Peak Humbus"
must now be silenced. The letters of Mr..
GRAVES, Of Mr.. klNSNAN, of Mr.. ALLEN, and
above all of HORACE GREELEY, together with
the multitude Of other testimony rushing in
uponus, will convince the most incredulous.
Gold exists in these mountain raw ines in
untold quantities, and the brave, the coura-
scous, the Industrious and the persevering
will bring it forth into the light of day. But
only such will be successful. Evidently,
gold digging in these mountains is no childs
play, and We advise no man to set out for
them, who is not fully prepared to endure
privations, and encounter hardships, from
which tho timid will shrink and the faint
acurted turn away in dismay.
We are little curious to see how our
brethren Of the Press will receive this news.
They have showcrcd down upon US of tho
Missouri Valley all manner Of epithets,
called US all the hard names their ingenuity
could invent, and made US out to be on a
par with the worst criminals. How say you
now, gentlemen? Who have been humbug-
gcd? Is Pike, Peak n myth or glorious
reality? We pause for reply.

Utah Affairs.

The United States Attorney General has
given an opinion fully sustaining Governor
Cumming in his resistance to the calling out
of the United States troops, by the federal
judges and General Johnson, to act as an
ornamental escort and guard for the court,
and as Il substitute for Jail for Mormon
prisoners.
We are forcibly reminded by this circum-
stance, of the striking difference between
this protecting care of the administration
over the semi rebelliouspoly gamists of Utah,
and the promptness with WHICH the demands
of the federal judges for United States
troops, to Cypress the fres State citi-
zens of Kansas, was complied with by the
President. -.-- r. -. s->.- .s--.s-

cite serious apprehension on his part, and

At about 10 O'Clock at night force of
about 100 men, disguised, appeared before
the Jail. and demanded the keys of the Jail

nm now about 10 miles n. W. from
Auraria, and about 30 miles in the noun

St. Vran's Greek; the road to get out oil
the mountains to Auraria, is near 60 miles
There is now about 60 men in the creek, a
work turning the ereek-all arc building
claims 100 feet, running up and down the
creek and from bluff to bluff. We have moi
got it turned, but will be ready by the Goth
inst, to put in sluice-we are nearly
ready with sluices made. have, three
partners now at work with me, good hearty
strong young men; our claims prospect
very we'll. Two men run a sluice half a
day on claim below ours and got s2l 80,
weighed it myself. l have panned out
several pans that weigh II cents each, but
it will average this all over, say about 3 ia
) cents then when man can throw one
thousand buckets into sluice in one day,
he will make from 500 to $50 per day.
The mines here are much better than ever
expected to End them men can now begin to
prospect to some advantage. The further We
60 into the mountains the better we find it.
Two miles above US they are finding coarser
gold-pne piece worth IS cents, the largest
haze seen in the country. The snow does
not bother Us here, is very deep a few miles
above; when this goes of am going up

Poor fellows how pity them, they ought
never to have started, they put me in mind
of person going 300 miles on visit, stay
one night with their friends, then return
next day. They do not prospcc, at oil,
probably wash handful of quieksand at the
mouth of Cherry Creek, and go back swear
ing there is no gold in the country-they
expected to scrape it up by the handful; if
so, the gold is a humbug. notice that the

They say that 5000 persons are already IN

forth the dangers of the route and the dif-
fculties to be overcome, concludes as fol-

There then, for period of at least six
months, will DO neither employment, food,
nor shelter within five hundred miles for the
thousands pressing here under the delusion
that gold may be picked up here like peb-
bles on the sea-shore,. and that when they
arrive here, even though withou. provisions
or money, their fortunes are made. Great
disappointment, great suffering, are inevita-
Bile ; few can escape the latter who arrive at
Denver City after September without am
pie means to support them in very dear
country, at least through long winter
We charge those who manage the telegraph
not to diffuse part of our statement with
our giving substantially the whole and we
beg the press generally to unite with us in
warning the whole people against another
rush to these gold mines, as ill-adyised as
that of last spring-a rush sure to be fol-
lowed like that by stampede, but one far
more destructive to property and Life.
