A GUILTY CoNscIENcE.-The pow
er of a guilty conscience was striking
ly illustrated short time since, on an
European Railway. A murder and
robbery had been committed in Berlin
and one ofthe passengers incidentally
remarked that the criminal was snre to
be taken sooner or later. On hearing
this young man jumped from the
car window-the train was stopped, and
this young man who had broken both
his legs and an arm in jumping from
the train, was found to answer the
description of the murderer, and on
being questioned he admitted the
crime.

The important advantages Of this
route over all others, are becoming
daily more apparent, and we really
believe that the rails will be laid and
the steam car flying between this point
and the Crescent city, before the same
length of road is completed in any
other direction. The Planters along
the coast are becoming deeply interest
ed in the matter, on the ground that it
will doubly enhance the value of their
property-diminish their enormous
tax for levees, and afford them the in
auence ola powerful company to give
security against the overflow Of the
Mississippi. An influence, such as a
powerful railroad company can WELD
is all that will give any security to the
right bank of the river; for it is con-
clusively shown from statistical infor-
nation at hand, that the amount of
water discharged by the Mississippi,
is rapidly increasing il volume. This
consideration alone should suffice to
unite the city and coast together-and
such a union would blight the prospects
Of the great place that ''is-to-be'' in
the swamp Of Maurepas, when the
railroad runs there-and now glorying
il. the beautiful and poetical cognomen
Of "Uncle Sam" But this is not the
only consideration. As the Delta very
properly remarks "The land on the
Highlands which is now held at low
prices, would advance enormously in
value, and the citizens of New Orleans
might establish themselves in rural re-
treats whittier they might fly from the
cares and annoyances of city life"
Books will be issued in few days
and proper persons charged to canvass
the city and the country. We feel
safe in saying that the town Of Baton
Rouge will give 100000 towards
building the coast railroad.

Co M M u n ! cated

Mr.. Comet "A writer signing
himself Z, in yonr daily paper, has
been very unfortunate in the facts he
cites, to prove his remarks to be cor
rect. 1t is true, the Isralites were at
one time in bondage to the Egyptians,
but this is very far from being any
evidence, the Almighty approved or
sanctioned, the oppression practiced
on his chosen people, since we find
them released, and afterwards reward
ed, for all their past sufferings, with
the choisest blessings of Heaven. 1t is
certainly no argument, that because a
thing is suffered to exist for time,
that therefore it is sanctioned and APP
proved Of, and ought to continue for
ever. Upon the very same principle
if such reasoning were correct, the
English during our revolutionary war,
were justified in calling us rebles, and
treating us as such, and it would also
follow, we were not justified in resist
ing her authority, or oppression. The
mere fact Of our having been at one
time, in the relation of colonies and
subjects, of Great Britain, agreeably to
Us reasoning entitled her, to take it
for granted, all laws human or divine,
sanctioned her right Of retaining us in
her power.
The truth is, the regard to the SUBJ
ject treated by Z, he appears like a
thousand others, in matters of this
sort, influenced more by his feelings,
than his Judgement for a moments
reflection would convince him that not
only this subject of slavery, but al
most every thing which relates to the
history of our race, since the days OF
| Adam, is an enigma mystery
Ii the mere fact, a wrong is suffered
to exist in this world, or the truth is
not triumphant, is any argument to
establish what truth is, or what is, or
is not sanctioned by God, in what a
lamentable predicament do we place
Christianity, since it is now upwards
Of 1900 years from the date of its frs,
PRONUNCIATION and yet three fourths OF
the inhabitants Of our globe, are heath
ems and idolaters. In conclusion
would remark toZ, the weather is en-
tirely too hot, to persue at this time, SC
intricate subject and l think, he will
agree with me, the part ofpurdence in
such matters is, to leave it alone, since
we know nothing at present, what is
right or wrong in regard not only tc
the institution of slavery, but many
other human regulations, of equal o,
even greater importance. A.

E Somebody has stolen our
Weekly Delta, or we would publish
the article about the Hartford Conven-
ton, referred to by our contributor.
We did not say on our own account
that the Convention broke up in "a
row." The paragraph he refers to
came out Of an exchange. We say
the Convention could not agree as to
the amendments" proposed, and it
adjourned-broke up in ''disorderly
manner" Now it remains to be
shown what constitutes row" Will
some of the "Phils6tines" please furn-
ish US with the law defnation. Upon
this hangs the truth or falsity of the
paragraph which is the subject Of KS

PETRIF1ED MAN-BARNUM ABOUT

that not long since, while some men
were digging in coal bank, near the
canal, they exhumed body Of man
in perfect state Of petrifaction.
From the corduroy cloth in which the
legs were encased, the cords and
seams Of which are perfectly defined,
it is supposed to be the body of one Of
the laborers engaged in the construc-
ton Of the canal The limbs are
nearly perfect, and are completely
transformed to stone.

The committee informs U. s. Dist.
Atty. Noise, that they have en-
ployed Randall Hunt Esq, to aid the
prosecution of Belcher & Bro. for de-
frauding the revenue laws. To this
q. S. Dist. Atty. Noise replies, in the
most courteous diplomatic manner.
We take the following extract from
his letter,
must be permitted to remark that
you have reversed the usual and pro-
per mode Of proceeding in the en-

think you should first have enquired
whether Mr.. Hunt would have been
agreeable to me, and if he were SO,
then to have employed him. Instead
of this, you have employed Mr.. Hunt,
and afterwards sought my appreciation.
The Committee reply that Mr.. Can
field was requested to consult Mr..
Noise and the committe was substan-
tally informed that Mr.. Hunt would
not be disagreeable to Mr. Noise upon
this, they engaged the services of Mr..
Hunt at their own expense.
We think the convention has coloured
its resolutions on the subject, with too
much personal prejudice--the evil
complained of, has not been attacked
in the proper manner to insure sue
cess. 1t has not been dealt with as
effecting the great agricultural intrest
ofIthe State 1--WE judge from the proceed
ings Of the Convention) and must fall
short of the object sought to be accom-
plished.
We cannot see that the Messrs' Bel
cheers, who stand alone in this contest,
have either been guilty of violating
the revenue laws or "fraud'' as is char
ged against them. If the duty on mo-
lasses-is not sufficient to protect the
interest of our State, it is matter for
Congress to deal with.-!f molasses is
concentrated to such degree as to re-
quire little boiling to reduce it to sugar
then let the duty be regulated accord
