EDS DELTA Il beg leave to call your
attention to my letter of 25th September,
1851, which for reasons best known to your
selves, at its date and since you decline pub
fishing.
That letter was intended as reply to an
editorial Of the 1stb September 1851, and
its structures on my opposition to Fillibus-
terism. You, thought it quite appropriate
to shove Republcanism down unwilling
mems Threats with bayonets. endeavor-
ed to show that our mission as a Republic
was to convince the World, By love for
our laws and institutions, that man is cap
able of self government, and by force of
moral suasion, example, and piecept impress
Repubicanism upon the consideration OF
the World.
In 1851 it was admitted that an impor-
tant issue was presented to the considera-
ton of the American People; and they
were called upon to answer whether or not,
the law of Goth April 1918 shall be repealed
and its principles abrogated, and whether
or not, the law of nations, and obligation of
treaties, shall be disregarded. 1t was also
admitted that at that time these several
questions were receiving affirmative an
swers; and concluded with the remark,
that, "At the end of the contest which is
to determine the mastery of Fillibusterism,
whether the Delta will be the "Solitayy
Momaer," remains to be seen. Perhaps
the soJyiquet may be restored to your
'Whylom friend.'"
1t is now freely admitted that in the
election of franklin Pierce, President of
the United States, fllbusterism has achiev-
ed complete triumph. Henceforth Fill
busters eau stalk abroad undismayed-th
Black Cor sAIRs of the Nineteenth Cen
tury.
You should now publish my letter of oath
September, 1851, that the readers of the
Delta may learn how willing and ready
resigned to you in your moment of dlspon-
dency, the consoing sobriquet SOLITARY
Mourner."
You should now publish that letter as an
evidence of your maenanimity, that in this
your day of triumph, you will not withhold
from your "Whaom friend" all that is left
of Republcanism, right to Mourn over
its fallen greatness.
That letter should be published that
yours comf,tres, Wings and Democrats
may know, when we meet at the Nations
funeral Pyre, and while you and them are
with denaonaic erultatiom applying the fatal
torch,-Why you cast a complacent smile
on the SOLITARY MOURNER."

ArtcSian Wells.

The method of obtaining water by bore
ing to immense distances in the earth, is
not at all modern. In France, where the
first regular and scientific machine was
worked for this purpose, there are Artesian
Wells, which have been in existence two
hundred years. The water at first obtain
ed was either so much tinctured with salts,
and alkaline principles, or so warm as to
be unfit for the ordinary household uses,
and boring for the pure element was aban-
doncd The opinions of M. Arago, Blot,
and other Philosophers had tendency to
check this process ofobtaining water, which
was attendant with great labor and ex-
pense. 1t is only within the past few
years, that organized companies have gone
to work in earnest to furnish from the
bowels of the earth the pure and living
element so essential to the health of large
communities of men.
What effect this will have upon the sani-
tory condition of cities, remains yet to be
computed. We incline to think that all
other appliances for the comfort and health
of the popuace will be out-measured by
this. Ere long we expect to see in the
public squares of every town and city in
this Union, not sickley miserable little
fountains bubbling up at the expence of a
hand pump, but large and inexhaustoble
waterspouts perpetually tossing up thousand
of gallons of water per minute from springs
that have something more stable to depend
~ n that rain water. How deep'we shall
have to 60 in this locality to obtain water
rem aims yet to be tested. In the boreing
We anticipate interesting facts to be arrived
at in the geology of Loui siana, and we shall
endeavor to give correct analysis of the
strata, that shall be penetrated. We under
stand that all the implements for the boring
are now being manufactured at the Foundry
of Messrs. Hill & Henderson.

Steam Boat Collision

The steamer Texas Ranger, up
ward bound, came in contact with the
Leila No. 2, yesterday morning be-
fore daylight, about ten miles below
the mouth Of Red River. The latter
boat which was descending, received
considerable damage, and was only by
the greatest excrtions kept ahoat, af-
ter loosing about three hundred bales
of cotton. We are happy however to
learn that no lives were lost.
The steamer Trenton arrived at the
scene Of disrster soon after the accident
and succeeded in recovering the cot.
ton with which she has returned to
New Orleans. The Leila remained
some time at our landing for the pur-
pose of entering a protest.

Mental cyortiOn is as essential tn

Mental cxertion is as essential to the
growth and vigor of the intellect, as the
active use Of the limbs is indispensable
for the development Of the material
frame. Who performed arduous labors
of bodily toll or manuel skill, but those
who accustomed themselves to contin-
ued cxertion and frequent excrcises of
their particular handicraft? SO must
the mind be accustomed to use its
power and exercise its sinews, or it
will remain weak and undeveloped, and
incapable of useful exertion. How
sad is the sight of a full-grown man
a man in body with the intellect of
child, only without the innocence and
charms of childhood.

The Courier and Enquirer states,
on undoubted authority, that another
Cuban Expedition is in formal state
of preparation, and that it is of a for
midable character. The leaders have
taken the greatest care to avoid viola
ting the neutrality laws of the United
States. They have procured arms and
ammunition in great abundance, all Of
which have been obtained abroad, and
they are deposited at point beyond the
jurisdiction CT the United States Moth
thing for the expedition has been pur-
chased in this country. The men be-
longing to the expedition will leave the
United States from different points, un-
armed, and as cmigrants. The utmost
circumspection will be observed, and
there is little danger Of the enterprise

SUBLIME PAGAN DrvINITY.-Cicer0 IN his
Narura Deorum has preserved to us, from
lost work of Aristotle, a fragment which jus
titles the fame OF that fu,nen orationis aarswn
which so largely fertilized the literature of
antiquity. The fine idea is as follows. If
there were beings who lived in the depths
of the earth, IN dwelling places adorned
with paintings and statues, and everything
enjoyed by those wealthy and fortunate in
the world; and if these beings could receive
tidinss of the glory and power of the divin
tiles, and that come out from their
dark residences, through the fssu res Of the
globe to the sirlace on which we stand if
they could suddenly see the earth and sea,
and the circle of Heaven--contempla the
great cloudy expanse, hear the winds of the
armament and admire the majesty and beat
tifu eGulsence of the sup-could they be-
hold the starry host of Heaven, in the night
the rolling and changing moon, and the RI
sing and setting of the ceestia! orbs in the
order prescribed from eternity-they would
surely exclaim-'There are, indeed, Gods,
and such magni fcent things must be the
work of their hands pn

SINGULAR METHOD OF FINDING
DROWNED PERsoNs.-The London
papers relates that on Saturday, the
rs ult., an agricultural laborer, named
Solomon Dunford, was drowned at
West Cowes, Isle of Wight. A "nov-
ell process was used for the recovery
of the body by one of the coast gurads
On Friday morning, the circumstance
being made known to him, he assured
the bystanders that eff the party was
drowned in the neighborhood he would
discover the body by means Of a new
loaf of bread, in which should be de-
posted three ounces of quicksilver,
when the loaf would float till it rested
over where the body might lay. How
ever extraordinary it may appear, the
experiment was tried, and on the loaf
becoming stationary, a boathook was
put overheard beneath it, and brought
up the body. The man states that
this is the fourth instance in which the
experiment has been tried by him
