Generally, whence means from or out of which place, and whither means to what place. Whence can be used with the sense of 'by reason of which fact', meaning about the same as 'therefore', or 'ergo'. In this case there is no movement or action indicated. For example, from the Webster's Collegiate, "Whence I infer that my bones are not yet chalky." O. W. Holmes, 1935.

These words are rarely used in standard US English, and I am surprised that they are not listed as obsolete or archaic. This may be a regional observation and the words may be in common use in other places.
