THAT SEVERE SENTENCE

The j,-y in the case of CIllen, for killing
Richardson, en- the day Of the big IRE in Viz
g;uia, having found verdict OF naanslaugh-
ter, and Judge North having sentenced him
to TWO years and six months in the peniten-
,iary, certain parties in Virginia have de-
claimed loudly against the severity Of the
sentence. \ correspondent: sends Us the fol-
lowing:
EUrroRS GOLD i!ILT NEws:-Sccing the So
card ~...;e'cr i !; ..sw v.3iica'ri in the case
Of T. - len. a sentence 10 Two wears AID

principal wirGessys who saw the transaction were
never ca..el upon TO give their evidence in the
ease One II them, who is perfectly well, Ar,
Huur ~ who's. feet rhc murdered man fell, took
il trip f,r tae good of his health duriag the

who saw the occurrence. and stood within ten
feet Of the place are lI-. Wells and Mr.. Nun

Neither Of these witnesses were called, The sc
verify of the sentence may De imagined from the
foregoing.
Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1864-03-23

There is no place in our Territory, other
than this, which has so many claims upon
the same number Of feet OF ledge, or employs
so many men, or has such facilities for work
ing it. The mines of this District stand
pre-eminent both in number and quality over
those of any other mining district on this
coast. There is no other 65S feet of ledge
which gives employment to PIG workmen, or
has machinery Of 200.horse power for hoist
ing purposes alone. These facts tell their
own story. Where so much physical and
mechanical power is combined for the one
purpose of bringing out ores as rich as those
of the Gold Hill mines, the yield must be
enormous, as in fact it is. The people may
well feel proud Of such sources Of wealth as
these-and our town, sprung up in so short
time on the proceeds of their wealth, will
never fail frem decrease Of their production.
Four hundred and twenty feet is the deep
est point yet obtained in any Of our mines
and that only BY shaft-the rich lodges
have hardly been disturbed at a greater depth
than half that distance. The production Of
our mines may go on undated for years be-
fore they will be worked to the depth which
the sluggish Mexican Greasers have gone in
theirs, and almost for centuries before they
will be worked as deep as the silver mines Of
Sweden.

THAT SONORA BUSINESS.

The repor. that the United States Gov
eminent had, through its Minister, purchased
Of the Juarez Mexican Government the large
and rich State OF Sonora, caused an immense
iu,ter and humping of shoulders among
those Of our French population, who, for
getting the fealty and duty due from them to
the country that feeds and protects them,
still hold the glory and ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
La Belle France paramount to the honor and
safety of the nation of their adoption. They
dcmur, they illuminate, they toot the Gallo
horn. They denounce the whole arrange
ment as a trick and fraud upon the rights
Of that honest man, Napoleon the Less, and
foul wrong and insult to the glorious drG-
peau tri-co!or. We are sorry about it. The
lustre of that nation ought to be sacrcdiy
guarded and cherished BY the American
people, considering the friendly and ingenu-
Gus manner in which it has treated us any
time since our internal strife began. Its en-
couragements extended to the ambassadors
of rebeldom, its constant threats Of interven-
ton and selling upon the hour of our calami-
", to violate and trample under foot the es-
tablished doctrine Of our Government with
regard to monarchies upon American soil
should not be seriously regarded. They
should be looked upon and excused as the
harmless eccentricities of a volatile, and
perhaps frivolous people. Truly magnani-
nous government like ours ought not to be
in earnest, and answer foul insult with
blow, nor fight the devil with fire. Oh no !!
or course not Each bloody Yank ought TO
toss high his ready plug in air, and shout
Fire Ia Emperor. Quoth Jean Crapeaud Of
San Francisco, such a cession Of the Mex
lean territory is null and void, and will be
disregarded by the Imperial bastard of the
Dutch Admiral, if made after Juarcz was
driven from the capital BY the French arms"
Bully for Jean Crapeaud! Null and void"
quoth he. 1t occurs to the man up tree,
that if Uncle Sam, instead Of buying that
Sonora ranch, as is reported, had gone with
horse, foot and Dragons, rams and frigates,
and gobbled it up BY main strength and STU
pidity, his title would be good as against any
that France could show to defeat it. If the
story about the cession be true, the conflict
ing title will not be tried i'll court OF law
nor BY the code Napoleon. The arbiter who
will settle our little itigations with His I'm
perial High Mightiness, has mouth twenty
inches wide and his name is PARROT. II
Bony the Little talks pretty and wants to
settle the thing legally and comes down to
nice points of evidence about seats Of govern
ment, capitals, ETC., we have no doubt Of
Uncle Samuel being able to establish the
fact that when Juarez signed his quit-claim
deed to the Sonora tract, he was just exactly
where he ought to have been. II our Uncle
is bothered about getting his witnesses, let
him send on, to this Territory, and get some
of our mining witnesses, and we will qua
rantee u prove that the deed Of cession was
made out, signed and delivered in the Halls
of the Montezumas, six months before the
French landed in Mexico.
