TO THE EDITOR or THE HERALD
seeing In the HERALD an allusion TO the cheap
postage system, thought II fitting opportunity to
revert to the frequent occurrence OF exrbItant
charges upon newspapers, and useless delay in the
delivery OF letters. AS a proof, will give you
sample Of my experience The week before last re-
ceived per steamer the Lirery0d Mocssg, for which
the carrier charged six cents. Last weeE | re-
ceived the Manchester Guardian, a newspaper Of
the same size and weight, for which he charged
only three cents And a. to the letters think
myself very fortunate IL ! get mine two days after
the arrival Of the mail. On the 18th instant, re-
ceived one that arrived in Boston per the steamer
Europa on her last trip to that port, and which

MURDER OF WIFE By HKR HUSBAND. -Offee-
Wright, Of Hoosick, brought in last evening, and
lodged IN jail, man BY the name Of Jerry De-
laney, about "a years Of age, on the charge OF
killing his wife on Tuesday night, By beating her
with billet Of wood. II appears that Delaney,
who resided near Goeden's on the railroad about a
mile and half below lIoosick Falls, came homo
from his work about six O'Clock in the evening
that there were Afterwards spree and o rumpus,
and that the neighbors we're alarmed and we q, &c
the house, by his calling for an axe. ON going TO
he house IL was found that the womans skull had
been broken Ia, apparently with billet Of wood,
which lay near the spot where she was found. She
lived until abou four o'clock yesterday morning
Delaney was i'm mediattly put in custody. In the
morning be was taken before q magistrate, who,
after making an examination into the circumstances
ordered his commitment. Delaney was into ricated
when arrested, and the probability Is that his wife
was In similar situation when she received the
fatal blow. He processes entire unconsciousness Of
having had any design 10 murder her, and although
he acknowledges that he caused her death, he
thinks ne gave the blow with his 6st.-Tfoy t.N "

Anniversary of Churubusco.

We have been SHOWN a letter from the Town
Council Of Columbia to the officers of the compa-
ny sent by this District TO Mexico, conveying the
information that they =" have made arrangements
for the reception and entertainment of such men,
hers of the Palmetto Regiment as may visit Co
lumbia for'the purpose of celebrating the anni-
versary of the battle of Churubusco, on the 10Th
and Goth instant, and that committees will be at
the depots of the different Railroads to receive
the Palmettoes as they arrive, and conduct them
to such Hotels as they may prefer. where they
will be entertained as guests of the town.
1t is striking evidence OF the generous hospi-
ptay Of the citizens of Columbia to the noble
band of warriors who reflected so much honor on
the State.
We hope that all the members ofthe Palmetto
Regiment here and elsewhere, will find it conve-
nent TO attend the anniversary and minge once
more around the social board, with their brethren
in arms-Repudlic

MIR. A. WHITNEY's PROJECT.

Mr. Asa Whitney has been astonishing the
English with his wonderful schemes of a rail
road to the Pacfc John Bull. who is very
credulous, and has more tnan an Ordinary a.
mount of love for the marvellous seems half
disposed TO back our clever countrynlan, and
give him the pretty lot Of land he so modestly
asks for. But whatever his guibility, John
breads to lay out his money so far from home,
and has some misgiyinGs Of Yankee enerprlze.
Ar. Whitney would raise the funds for SO
magnificent project in the States, (perhaps,)
should Mr. Bull be difficult. We wish h may
get them If We eycr want to build line to
the Pacific, ii won't be on such a Ian rs that
proposed, we feel conIinced. Jonathan knows
better than to venture on so impossible and un-
PAYABLE an undertaking.
It may be very true that line from Canada
presents most favorable gradients, and that
there are passes across the Rocky mountains
as far north as Oregon, which arc as good as
vet discovered; hut that will not be sufficient to
pay-for the line or keep ii in order when con.
structed
1t may be equally true that it would not be
bad direction to take for 4 voyage TO China
or Japan; but we question whether there cX
lists in Great Britain or the States, a sufficient
number of persons having interests in those re-
gions; or Of travellers who for the pleasure of
visiting the brother of the Sun and Moon, or
the Great Mogul would venture across two o.
ceans, and desoatc hali.frozcn continent.
As Tor the merchants of Great Britain, they
would never consent to their well packed goods
being unshipped to n railroad, and then re-shp-
ped again on Pugets Sound The chances Of
damage would be too great.
But there is still greater difficulty. The
Northern waters and bays Of this continent are
frozen up every winter; and what means Of trans
port, from accessible ports, can be devised to
answer all the requirements. The fewer the
charges the better, that is quite clear, and when
the St LawIencc is hi,'gcd with ice, aud St
JAIME 5 baY rcuGcred inaccessible for the greater
part of the year, by what roundabout way are
goods and passengers to be forwarded!

,.cI .---eofy, he should suppose that the
r,snnstudeeht would send an armed force to South
Carolina. If such were the case, would Mis-.
sissippi stand quietly by, to witness her sister
State defend herself against such fearful odds,
upon the very issue raised by Missssippil 1t
could not be; it was thing So utterly at vari-
ance with the principles hitherto acknowledged
by this State, that he would not believe it.
Their fellow feeling would not permit them to
desert that star which shone so brilliantly
throughout the storm of the revolution, by
which a tyrancal power was overthrown, land
glorious republic created out of a dependent
province. He felt that Mississippi 'conld not,
and would not abandon South Carolina cloud
cheers.) If any army should be sent to tram
pie upon her soil, devastate her country, to pro-
duce all the horrors of war, lay III waste the
fertile fields, and spill the blood of a noble peo-
pie, the heart of Mississippi would be moved,
and her SONS would rush to the rescue. In JUS
tice Mississippi ought not passively to submit
to the destruction of Southern State that only
wished TO preserve her institutions; for the de-.
fence of those institutions was important alike
to all Southern States South Carolina had a
right to look to Mississippi for support and
sympathy, proper response should he made,
and there would be no crime in such a course.
If he were asked 10 60 out of the Union with
South Carolina, his answer would be "no," for
unless they were attached to the cotcrminous
States in secession, they would be worse off
than before; and further, Mississippi would be
more effective in the Union than out of it. She
woul be able to give more assistance and ad.
vice to South Carolilra If he were asked what
right States had to 90 out of the Union, his re-
ply would be: reserved rights not found in the
Constitution, because they were abore the Con-
sttution.

THE PLOT THIcKENs.

The planters of James Island have been in
the habit of carrying their children over to Fort
Sumter for rcfresbment and recreation-its
situation in the midst of the harber, making it
an exceedingly airy end pleasant resortssO On
Tuesday the following incident took place:
A gentleman Of the highest respectability, with
his friend aud two or three children, went over
to the Fort, and when the boat was within a
short distance of the landing, the sentinel on
duty lowered his musket and demanded wheth.
er it was a Government boat9" 1t was an
swered in the negative. Then, said the sent.
mel Won cannot land. The gentleman asked
for the corporal Of the guard, who came, for
ward. and, to his request to he allowed to-
land the same brief rude answer was returned
w"you cannot land" He asked the reason
of tie refusal and the officer turned his back

statement on the authority of the gentleman

of the citizens of Union district, we can say
without hesitation that we have never known
any people so thoroughly united in opinion up,
on any subject as our people are upon the ques-
ton of secession. 1t is little remarkable that
upon question of such vital Importance as
that.now before us there should be- So little dl-

so popuous rs ours. There are a few sollta-
