The Sunday Delta.

We have no acquaintance with either the
publishers or editors Of this paper. We know
not the persons interested in its financial sue.
cess, nor the minds which utter themselves
through its editorial columns. But we regard
it duty, as we feel il pleasure. to bear our
testimony to its literary merit and unexception-
able character. We are in the habit of inspect
ing the best and most popular literary journals
OF The United States, upon their weekly visits
to our table; but there is not one which we
read with more real satisfaction than the Sun
day Delta. While it is utterly free from the
clap-trap, tinsel, and sentimentaism too com
mon in profcsscdly literary papers, it has the
genuine relish Of refined taste and real genius.
Its editorials are among the best we have ever
read. They embrace all classes of topics
literary, philosophical, political, moral, social
treating all with keen insight, wise discri-
mnation. and an enlarged caudor. The selcc-
tons and correspondence are admirable. The
paper is truly gu honor to the South, and
emincntly worthy of her favor. Whatever may
be our opinions of the propriety of the day of
Its publication, we are happy to know that the
work is not done on the Sabbath. We make
no invldious distinctions between the Daiiies of
New Orleans; we speak of the Sunday Delta
as literary paper-N o. Christian -1drocate

NEWPORT NEWS.

EXAMINATION OF KEoRR FOR THE KIBLINa
OF HEITzMAN.-ln our yesterdays issue, we
noticed a fatal ARRAY that occurred In this
city, on the night previous, but the lateness
of the hour at which we received the in-
formation, preeluded us from giving the full
particulars or getting the correct names.
Yesterday morning the homicide, whose
name is Geo. Knorr, went to Covington and
surrendered himself, and was taken to New
port and lodged in Jail. 5t4
In the evening he was brought before
Justices Conlan and Sine, for preliminary
trial, and number of witnesses examined,
among whom was the widow Of the de-
ceased, and sister Of the accused. sg
1t appears that KnoFr, with his wife, had
been boarding with Heitzman during the
summer, and that some time since he went
away for some weeks, leaving Mrs. X. at
Heitzman's. When he returned Mrs. H. in
| a most confidential manner, informed him
that be had better watch his wife whereupon
he demanded an explanation, but was re-
fused, as it might create a difficulty, which
the informant had no desire to do. Knorr,
however, insisted, and after promising that
he would cause no disturbance, she told him
that she had observed improper conduct on
the part Of Mrs. Knorr and a man named
Benjamin Lewis, boarder at the house.
knorr Immediately went to Lewis, who de-
MED the charge and left his boarding-house
on the strength of the matter.
On the night Of the homicide, Lewis and
Knorr went to HeitzInan's house, when the
family and bOarders were eating suppeN in
order TO obtain an explanation. They en-
tered the bar-room Of the house, when Mrs.
II. hearing them, came in, but on observing
that it was her brother, ordered him to leave
the house, which he refused 10 do. Her hus-
band soon after followed, seized Knorr, when
a struggle ensued for a short time, after
Knorr left, and Heitzman ran behind the
counter, exclaiming at the same time, that
he was stabbed. Before any of the parties
reached him he had fallen on the floor, and
ceased to breathe. 4fI
The grounds upon which Mrs. X. was
accused was that she had drank glass Of
beer at LeWis's expense, and the parties had
taken q walk together. ..a tps 3If
After full hearing Of the evidences, Knorr
was held over in the sum Of 8 900, for his
appearance at the next term Of the Circuit
Court, on a charge Of manslaughter.
