MURDER OF YOUNG LADY.-A correspond
ent Of the New Orleans Delta, writing under
date of Baton Rouge, October go says: A
beautiful and interesting young lady was bru-
tally murdered by some inhuman wretches in
the neighborhood of Sandy Creek, in this par
ish. A negro, named Rilly, and a young ne
gress, about fourteen or fifteen years of age,
were taken up, tried, confessed the crime, and
sentenced to be hung on Monday, the 9th in
stant. The negress, in her confession, impl-
Gated two white men, as being the instigators
Of the bloody deed The report is that one of
the white men accused was enamored of the
young lady, who refused to marry him; where
upon he determined to wreak upon her his
fendish revenge, and, by threats and promises,
prevailed upon his negroes to waylay her, as
she was passing from her home to neighbor's,
near the creek, where her n1angled corpse was
found submerged beneath the weight of heavy
log with the apron of the condemned negress
about her neck, which had been used to stran
gle her. They were tried by justice and
jury of freeholders, as by law required, or
Friday, and sentenced to be hung. The white
men accused have left the parish, although they
cannot be condemned on negro evidence"
The Wings Of the West are debating the qdes-
ton where the next National Convention OF that
party shall be held. Memphis and Louisville
are preferred by some, others think that Phla-
delphia should be selected This city is just
the place for such convention Gen. Taylor
was nominated in Philadelphia, and he was
elected by the people. This is an important
fact which aspiring candidates should remem-

We find the following paragraph in recen,
article in the Boston Atlas: ias
:" What for instance, could have been moro sui
cidal than to take the publication of the laws from
such papers as tho Portland Aduerfiser, New Hamp-
shire Slatssman, Kecne Sentinel, Vermont Watch
man, Albany Epening Journal. and others that we
might name, and transfer them in several instances
to religious journals"
Now, we understand these papers to be, like
the Atlas, one and all, against the Compromise
measures of the last Congress. The Portland
advertiser is decidedly SO, as we understand it;
the New Hampshire Statesman is unquestion-
ably the most foul abolition paper in the State.
1t is worse than the Independent. The Keene
Sentinel has long been most respectable pa
per. While under the management of the
elder PRENrIss it was small sheet, most ad-
mirably conducted. We would not now put it
on level with the Statesman and the Boston
Atlas. Still il has not come up to the support
of the principles Of the adjustment.
We have only one word to say, by way Of
allaying the fears Of the Atlas, and that is, on
inquiry, we learn that in all these cases no
change has been made but in conformity with
the recommendations Of the Wings of the State

great Central Illinois route, to Cairo. The Penn
sylvania and Ohio railroad runs from Philadel-
phia to Pittsburg, and reaches Ohio at Wells
vile, whence it runs through northern Ohio
to Fort Wayne, and thence to Warsaw, in In
diana, which is as far as it is projected at the
present time. Of the routes commencing fur
ther north, are the great New York and Erie
road, which runs from the city Of New York to
Dunkirk on Lake Erie, and thence communi-
Gates by water with the Cleveland and Coum-
bus route, and also with the Michigan Central
route from Detroit to Chicago, thence to Da-
venport, and with the Michigan southern route
from Monroe, via St. Joseph's, to Chicago, and
thence to Rock Island, Davenport, Iowa City,
Council Bluffs, &c., and the Massachusetts,,
communicates in the same manner with the
same points. ai HYf
No American can look at these stupendous
wOrks--not castles in the air, OF doubtful exc
cution, but many Of them completed, and all
in greater or less state Of progression, and
carried on in great measure by private enter
prise-without feeling proud that he is an
American. Thousands and thousands of miles
are accomplished, millions upon millions Of
dollars are expended, and myriads of stalwart
arms, as well numerous intelligent minds,
are employed in this great system Of internal
improvements, which binds our Confederscy
together with bands of iron, and with bands
that are stronger than iron, and which time
only Strengthens community of interest and
community Of unexamped prosperity.

z We learn from the National Inseuigenesr
that on Thursday last Professor PAGE made a
preliminary trial on the railroad, for the pur-
pose of testing the best mode Of Attaching the
battery, which seems to be difficult point,
owing TO the jostling and oscillations Of the To-
comotive. II was run out over two miles, and
the BEST speed on straight track was ten miles
an hour The locomotive weighs ten and a
half tons, and has five feet drivers, with two
feet stroke. The IateiHgencer says it locks
exactly like passenger car
! There is not more ardent votary Of science
in the United States than Professor PAGE, nor
more successful one, so far as discovery goes;
and we trust that he may. yet live to reap
pecuniary reward equal to the fame which he
will unquestionably enjoy for his untlring per
severance in discovering and perfecting the ap-
plication Of the electromagnetic power TO rail-
roads and steamers.

1t will be seen, from the above tables, that
the bill was just and equitable in its appropria-
tons. The States represented by the WHO
Senators who sustained the bill are not its
benefciaries. VERMONT, RHODE ISLAND, MAS
sAcHUsErrs, NEW JERSEY, were but small
recipients of its favors, and we do not see that
KENTUCKY is named in the list 1t was from
no interested, sectional inducements, but on
broad national grounds, that the Senators from
these States were willing to appropriate
sos, 200 for TEXAS, $ll7 500 for NORTH CAR
oLINA, 100000 for MICHIGAN, sos, 900 for
LOUISIANA. AS far as the Wing Senators were
concerned, there was no log-rolling or corrup-
tion in the bill, or they were log rolling for in
terests and localities very remote from their
own, and for constituencies which were aban-
doned by their own immediate representatives.
Well might Mr.. SoULE protest against the
"corupting system" which bought the votes
of KENTUCKY by appropriating upwards of
100000 for LOUISIANA, without dollar for
the benefit of the corrupted State! Perilous
indeed, by which RHODE ISLAND.

NORTH CAROLINA!
When we look at the above table, and see
the quarters in which the money was to be
disbursed, how entirely unfounded all the
charges against tho bill prove to be, which are
founded on this idea of corrupt log rolling! If
there had been any log rolling in view, it was
certainly managed with very little judgment
and to very little purpose. We apprehend that
if there had been any log-rolling in operation,
it would hardly have been employed in fixing
large appropriations upon TEXAS, ALABAMA,
and LOUISIANA, against the wishes of their
Senators! This was certainly badly contrived
log rolling, for the benefit of States whose re-
presentatives were the most violent opponents
Of the bill!

Mr.. Po,n.ets,s Letter,

We place before our readers, in another
column, a letter from the Hon. JOEL r. Pom
sETT, which has recently been made public.
In doing so, we wish to put on record this calm
but lucid warning Of this distinguished states
man to his fellow-citizens, hoping that its tenn
perate counsels may prevail in South Carolina
and that the people out Of that State. who
know how to appreciate the much that is noble
and dignifed in her character, may long be
spared the necessity Of seeing her in any other
attitude than one of harmony and perfect equal
ity with her sister States.

The ILLIEoIsrowr AND vIEoENSEs RAILROAD, or
rather the Ohio and Mississippi railroad-the rail-
road from Cincinnati to st. Louis, via vinccnnes
The last Legislature of lllinois granted charter
for the construction Of this road and it ID crafty
ing to SEQ the zeal and purpose with which the
work is nbout to be commenced. Judge Ellis, of
vincennes, several gentlemen from Cincinnati, a
number Of corporators and directors from Ilinois,
now in the city, and we presume the prelimi-
nary measures will at once be taken TO organize
the company, and at early day put the work
under contract. This work is regarded one of
great moment to our city, and we hope 10 see our
citizens take hold Of it with the spirit and earnest
which the importance Of the occasion requires.
No time should be lost IN organizing and push
ing the work forward. ST. Louis has q deep in
terest in the whole road but she lie directly and vi
tally concerned in its immediate construction to
the intersection with the Illinois Central Railroad
We understand meeting will be held on Mon
day, by the corporators and directors in the Office
of the st. Louis Insurance Company at ii O'Clock.
As there several gentlemen here at their pri-
waite expense, those Of the city should be prompt in
their attendance. Let the work be commenced
with earnestncss that will give prestige of its
speedy completion-Sf. Louis Repub.. March %.

We published few days since the River
and Harbor bill, as it was reported to the SEN
ate, and defeated by the lukewarmness and
treachery Of some of its pretended Democratic
friends, and by the irregular and unparliamen-
tary expedients of its active enemies. This is
the bill which sought to remedy the evils al
luded to by Mr.. RUsK, which, within the four
years of his Senatorial service, had caused the
destruction Of an incalculable amount Of pro-
perty, and the loss of more than thousand hui
man lives. This is the bill which Mr.. RusK
desired to amend, at the risk Of losing it in the
House, because it did not appropriate money
enough for the improvement Of the Mississippi
river--though it was shown by Mr.. DAVIS, by
the estimates Of the Departments, to appropr-
ate as much for that great river as could be
usefully and economically expended in the
course of the twelvemonth.
Let US look at the appropriations made by
this bill for the western rivers, and see how
far Mr.. RUsK could possibly have been sincere
in urging this objection. We find the follow
ing analysis Of these appropriations in the Off
cias report Of the speech of Mr.. HAMLIN, one
OF the Senators from the State Of Maine-a
State as deeply interested as any other in the
Union in the liberal Interpretation of that pro-
vision of the Constitution from which the
power to erect lighthouses, beacons, and buoys
is derived, as well that for removing OBJ
structions from the western waters. The bit
ter hostility which Mr.. HAMLIS, and his col
league, Mr.. BRADBURY, manifested towards this
River and Harbor bill, cannot commend them L
their constituents. They may by their cours,
have aided to patch up and repair Democratic
dissensions--they may have helped TO accom-
modaie the Democratic creed to the marrow
notions of Mr.. RHETr, Mr.. CLEMENS, Mr.
SoULE, and General HousroN; but we are Ger
tain that they cannot have gratifed the com
mercial and intelligent people Of the State the,
represent. We annex Mr.. HAMLIr's analyst
of the appropriations for the western rivers:

We are indebted to Williap.s's Western Path
finder, very useful business journal published
at Cincinnati, Ohio, for large colored map,
measuring forty by thirty-seven inches,
showing the various railroad routes in Ohio, In
diana, and Illinois, and partial views of those
in the southern part Of Michigan and Wiscon-
sin, the eastern border Of Missouri and Iowa
and the northern border of Virginia and Ken
lucky, in which are distinguished the railroads
which are finished or nearly so from those
which are proposed and in process of construc-
ton. This map has been copied from one pre-
pared with great care and labor by A. w. Gil
BERT, esq, civil engineer, and is published with
his permission.
|. From this map may be perceived what as
tonishing energies have been exerted in the
western States to form convenient outlets for
their wonderful fertility Of soil and salubrious-
ness of climate, and inlets for the very large
merchantable commodities which are received
in return. Of the longer of these routes-a large
portion Of which is completed, and the rest
rapidly approaching completon-it were in
vidious to claim preference. Each has doubt
less its advantages, and we think most of them
are destined to do very large business, espe-
cially those running from the east to the west.
The jealousies which some of them have en-
gendered at the commencement and which
have in some instances helped to retard their
construction, will give way to the satisfaction
which must ere long result in their joint pros
perity. These remarks apply, of course, to
the great arteries Of trade, and not to collateral
roads, which may or may not be eminently sue
cessful according to circumstances.
Taking them up in the order in which they
present themselves on the map, first is the
great route which has been denominated the
Straight-line railroad. 1t commences at Balt-
l more, and runs thence through Cumberland,
Three Forks, Parkersburg, Belpre, Chillicothe,
Cincinnati, Vincennes, and St. Louis, to the
western boundary of Missouri, whence it is ex-
pected at some not very remote day to extend
| to the Pacific. Then there is the great Central
and Ohio road from Baltimore to Wheeling,
via Three Forks, runs from Wheeling to Zanes-
VILE; from GAINESVILLE by southern route to
Cincinnati, but by the great Central route To
Newark, where it is intersected by the Pitts
burg route from the east, and the Sandusky
route from the north; thence to Columbus,
where 1T is intersected by the Cleveland route
on the one hand, and the Xenia on the
other; from Columbus, the Central route pur
sues its course by one way to Urbana, Piqua
and Greenville, to Winchester, where it inter
sects the BelIefontane road, and continues with
it to Indianapolis, and by another runs to Day
ton, Paris, Richmond, Centreville, Cambridge
Knightstown, to Indianapolis; and here no les
than seven roads concentrate, one Of which i
the Central, which continues to Terre Haute
, thence to Vandalia, and thence to St. Louis, an
another runs to Chicago, and thence to Daven
port, Iowa, by one route, and by another, tn
