Let us prepare for, in order that we may be Worthy Of, this great' future.' The folloWing extraete, from the papers alluded to, will I be read with treat Merest " Philadelphia and Baltimore have a natural ad vantage in shortness of routes to - -the West of, at the' least calculation, $4 a ton over New York. The Central has made a compact allowing for this difference, but theta, natural advantages were so perceptible, in her receipts, that she broke it, and did this in the most dishonorable - manner. Fur thermore, these natural advantages will be felt the 881818 in any arrangement made that does not discriminate in price so as to counteract them , _ and this, it is not likely the Philadelphia and Balti more routes will concede ; therefore it - is not any' incompatibility in the managers of these roads that Prevents an -arrangement, but the , fact that the New York Central cannot accede to -a fair ar rangement without losing a large portion of its through business, - The New York Central seems, for some cause or other; in a desperate necessity for an increase of receipts.

On the same day the rate from Buffalo was more than double that amount. She 'has made a special reduotion to the Western road, -so that freight from Boston may be transported West as low as from New York.

The States says t "We are perfeetly willing do contede to eaoh locality the Advantages to which it is entitled by its relative 'position; but, unwilling ac wo May be to- enter into strife on the subject, we cannot, as public journalists, - remain quiet. and witness the attempts made by some of the North; era companies to farce trade from its natural obannels, and, by' hook or by crook, to make it centre at: certain points to the exclusion of other portions of the land, and more especially the South; Southwestern, and Western sections of the Union. , Trade has its natural as well 08 its artificial channels, and it its only by a judi cious combination of the two that the commerce and resources of the country can be fully and fair ly . developed To force the trade of the States, constituting what is called the Atlantic slope, to reach New York by the oiroultous route of the lakes, through the instrumentality of time ached ules,lweak•neak speed, and regulations, which are only observed so long as they harmonise with Northern oonvenienee, is not only unnatural, but Unjust in the highest degree to the holders of rail road property in the sections of country which are fattirentitled to the transportation and exporta tion of the produots furnished by them. " It: is in view of this one-aided and Illiberal -policy, aided, as it appears to have been, by utter faiiblessnesa to arrangements solemnly concluded and agreed upon, that wo have taken especial pleasure in seeing the bold and manly stand as sumed and fully maintained by the president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the ._great eonnecting link between the Southern and West ern railroads., and those to the north of Bal timore, at the late meeting at Buffalo. If the North is so fond of seetionalising even railroads, so as to place the South at a disad vantage, .it is to be hoped that the South, South watt, and West will not upon the suggestion. It will thus be aeon whether the Southern and Southwestern States, with their cotton, sugar, tobacco, rice and other products, are not entitled to some consideration to making the arrangements, "and- whether the producers in those sections of Country will not prefer the chord to the are of the bo'r in transporting their staple commodities to a market. The Conventionjust closed at Columbus, Ohio, will doubtlees have done something definitive in forming a system of railroad connections at the Smith, Southwest, and West, -independent of the action of Northern roads, or, rather, the dictation of the New York Central Railroad. "If New York merchants aro as shrewd as they are supposed to be, they will at once see the propri ety, or, indeed, the absolute necessity, of sending goods and passengers by the most direst and safest routes to the sections of the country south and west of Baltimore. Of the regions above referred to, the roads which connect with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad are the legitimate highways, and are din lately more value to the oily of, New York, so far as their trade is oonoerned, than roads running northwestwardly to the lakes, and passing thomie, _by circuitous route, to the Western wa tars. , With these facts before them, the (Moors having the management of the New York Cen tral and otber..Northensaloads who stre_lba...ea. - Tomer or high spec an Ita - ruinous conse quences, will perhaps do well to consider the matter well before they go too far for their own interest.

Yet, by the scat dent of good situation, and the fact of good • eating in the leading parts, it achieved surprising suc cinct Miss Emma Taylor, Mr. J. B. Clarke, Mr Wheatley, Mr. Dolman, and Mr. Johnson played admirably in this odd drama. There will be be nefits enow at Arch•street Theatre this week. This evening, Mr. J. B. Clarke meets his friends, and will present the following performances: "Beth Slope, or Done for a Hundred," written by Ster ling Coyno for the late George H. Hill, in which Clarke will represent four characters; a new farce, by Mr. MoCiees, of Philadelphia, entitled "Joseph's Coat;" the lively farm of " Bob Net tles," in which Mrs. John Drew, Mr. Dolman, and Mr. Clarke will play the leading parts; and "The Maid of Munster," in which Mrs. Drew, and Messrs. Wheatley and John Gilbert will appear. This is an extremely strong bill, and, even if Clarke were not the tavorite that ho in, ought to crowd and cram the theatre. Mr. Showell; one of the most rising, because he is intelligent and studious, of our young performers, will have a benefit here on Thursday, and an nounces " Richelieu," the leading character by himself, with Mis. Drew as Julie, Mr. Wheatley ne .130 Mauprat, Mr. Dolman as Baradas, and pretty Emma Taylor as Francois. Recollecting how extremely fine was Mr. Showell's representa tion of Bernie:, last year, we are pretty confident that his Rte./is/feu will ba a thoughtful, able, and impressive performance.' Mr. Wheatley announces his benefit for Satur day next. The performances will include "The Married Rake," the comedy of "The Follies of a Night," and " The Green Mountain Boy." Thera is a very good company at. the Moh-atreet Theatre, the whole strength of whiCh will be duly exercised on this occasion. Mr. Wheatley will have one of his tremendouely-full houses, we dare say. WALNUT• r IITRENT TIIKATRE.—Oritios, after all, are only mortal—liable to the pains and aches of illness, and thereby prevented from that ceaseless execution of their duties which the exacting public perpetually require Same such cause has kept us, during the past week; from witnessing, and re porting upon, the performances of Miss Ferran, whom stage appellation is Miss Fanny Fitz-Far rem We are informed that the Wainut.street Theatre has been well attended during the past week, From the same sources we learn, from our play-goers, that Miss Fitz-Farren is already a most admirable notion; with great originality of style; while another impresses upon tts his convictions that her acting is only a well-tutored imitation of the extravagant Western style of her mother, who is famous for tearing passion into . tatters. This evening, mother and daughter appear to gether in a new ilve-sot play, written expressly for them, called "The Widow's Stratagem." We shall endeavor to assist In that performance, and de liver our own opinion.

A very singular oaee, and onenf considerable interest to a commercial community, was tried at February tileSsion, in Westmoreland county, The evidence disclosed a most eatraordinary and elaborate .soheme of villainy, which had for• its object the swindling of several of our mar- , °haute heroin Philadelphia, but which they were unwilling M allow to go, unpunished, and they therefore interested theniselVes Somewhat in the conviction of the offenders. ' It appeared on the trial before Judge Buffing ton, that two brothers, named Bamuel and IMO Horner, conceived a plan to swindle a certain Jacob Repot°, a neighbor of theirs, out of some $l,OOO or $1,200, whisk they hiew he was about to receive as the balancie of the purchase money of a farm he had Bold to pay his debts. This Nopple was a man of very intemperate habits, and so simple and ignorant that he kneW nothing of any kind of business. Ulm thoy prootued to go into partnership With Isaac) Romer for one year as retail Merchants. This firm was so managed that at the end of the year, Kepplo's money was all gone ; but be had one•half of the remnant of their stock, and he was in debt about the value of that for money borrowed to pay their debts in the East. Elated at the success with which they forma kepple could be cheated, they came to the conclu sion to make nee of him in oheatingthe Philadel phia merchants—becauso if they could only get material into ICepple'a hands they knew very well how to get it out, his stupidity opposing no bar-. rier to their rapacity. Danz Romer and Kopek) then having divided their stook, and borrowed. money enough to pay the debts they owed in Philo&tibia, they decided that Kepple should go along to buy for himself, on hie own account. Re and Isaac reached the city first, and Isaac having -Tolled their money in packages, labelled with the amount and name of the house to which eaoh parcel was owing, he gave them to ICepple to carry, and they eat out to w.pe off the old scores , ffepple, who seetned to be the treasurer, performed his part admirably, and at every halt pulled out the exact amount due the creditor with as much precision as any old farmer could do, while Isaac hinted that he was sound to any 'amount. After having paid off all claims, the two appeared again to pqrchase a new stock for Rapple, in which Isaac officiated not only to select, the goods purchased, but also id vouch for the solemncy of the buyer. Commencing with a principal and heavy house on Market street, they bought large bills in that vioinity, enough for any one establishment such as ffepple's ; the latter, being, however, entirely innocent of either the quality or quantity of the goods his ardent friend was making him the own er of.. They then went to Third street, and be. ginning 'with a well•kpown and leading house on Third Street, they bought on that Street, perhaps, still more than on Market street. Kepple, In the meanwhile, being unable to re frain from his besetting sin, was observed to be considerably drunk, and Isaac was called upon to explain, lie attributed it to the excitement of suoh a great city; remarking, at the same time, that it. was naturally weak in , the knees, and that he was not so bad as he seemed; while at home he was a sober man. Still, this did not ea- SOY the vendors, who informed Isaac that they Would not deliver the goods sold to K. till they had seen Sanaliel Horner, who bad followed to the city two days after. When Samuel came on, be endorsed the etatements of Imo as to Kap plars sobriety, solvency, the., getting . Kepple, at the same time, to tell that be was about to receive some SI 000 for a farm he had soldi and thathe could pay for all the goods he had: bought • WithaTlFfeliing 0 - 7), hieitale of them to raise ;the money. Moved by these represeittailies, the came to the conclusion to ship the goods to the plane of their destination. Here another trick was played upon Kepple, because, at first, ho had directed all his goods to be sent to Greensburg, Pa. ; but the Hornets afterwards went to the Third-street homes and had the goods bought there re-marked, directing them to Oonitelhiville, about sixty miles by railroad beyond Greensburg. An this done, and for fear that Hopp's, might, by his drunkenness, do something to spoil the plot now in such good shape, they took him to the house of a relative, a few miles from the city— there to remain while they made their purchases —whioh they did very sparingly, the two not buy ing more than half as mush as Isaac had selected for Kepple. On their return home, Kepple received the goods Sent to Greensburg, but those sent to Oonnedirrille were taken from that station by Isaac Horner, and very few of them given to K., who went on in niter ignorance of the whole matter, and keeping Store in such a manner, that in about three months they thought he was in a proper condition to be drawn into bankruptcy, and, as they were his sureties for the payment of the money be had borrowed to pay off the debts of Horner 4t Kermit), they notiflel the creditor to push. Kepple then confessed a judgment, and his store was levied upon and tgid, the greater part of it for some $5OO or $6OO ; Out while this was doing, the Hornets both addend Kepple'ellaughters to carry off and seerotepor lions of the goods, in order afterwards to turn pub lic, attention to them, and at the same time ac count for the non-appearance of a large .inamity of Kepplo's goods, whieh Isaac then had in his store. As soon as they bad seduced the poor girls into this offence, they then disclosed the fret to some of the creditors, thinking in this to woven themselves. Their game, however, was about' played out— for, at this time, ono of the Third-street defrauded merchants made his appearance in Westmoreland county, and, after reconnoitring the ground, he came to the conclusion that there were tore agn ates at work to matter Kepple's property than his own improvidence or that of his family. Re was led to inquire whnt bad become of stab a large stook of goods in so short a time? lad Kepple got the goods sent to Connllsville for him? The Third-street marabout went to the stops of Isaac, and examining his stook found a considerable quantity of goods which he had sold to Kepple some months before, with all the ear :Jerks upon them That night Isaac removed them goods, (as it afterwards appeared, to Samuel Horror's store,) and in a short time after sold his store to Samuel and loft the country. One of the Market-street merchants then oame on to the rescue, and he and the other merchant having procured a warrant, they Aisarobed the store of Samuel, and found large quantities of goods sold to Kepple by them in the spring, and which he had evidently never received. The marks' at this time were all defseed,.or attempted to bo de faced, but enough remained to identify them ful ly. The two norners 'Were then Wieted at No vember sessions for a conspiracy tq defraud and obtain goods for Kepplo by false Interlace, ; but as Inn had run away, the trial proceeded at February sessions against Simnel alone, and the great difficulty was to oonnaot hip all the way through with Isaac's operations, nd satisfy the jury that both were working upon s common plan to achieve a common purpose. It Wee done, how ever, so clearly as to !warm doubt in the mind of any one, and he was convlated.! The trial last ed several days, and demonstrated that, however carefully snob schemes aro planned and executed, enough always remains to bear witness against those engaged in them.

Cutlet Phillips, Graham, and Quid participated. Brady: Idea was to prove a standing adulterous intertwine between Key and Dire. Sickles for he held tat Key having hired a house for the ex press ernes° of meeting the wife of another man, and sh having met him, they wore literally in a state if actual adultery all the time, and that conseuently, it was not necessary to catch them in theist to justify the killing of the adulterer. Title views, in oonneotion with the five propo- MUM; which the defence altered to prove, struck Mr. tirliale as being of the greatest importance, and h spats() at great length against the admissi. bilityof the testimony offered. Ho held that the partis should be caught In flagrante ddielit to justif the killing, and that, under any other Mr ourannoes, it was murder. He also held that Sic kles, nowing his wife to be a confirmed adulteress, and tat thus she was more dead to him thin if in her gtve, and that, consequently, he was not bound to,deind her. Key's presence, waving the hand herelat, on Sunday, as a signal for outrage on Siekitivife, wee, In Mr. Carlisle's opinion, no in eitemmt to the deed ; for Mr. Mottles was already awaresinee the night previous, that he could not be outiged. Mrs. Sickles was beyond outrage in being)) habitual adulteress. In cephatio manner, the assistant proseeator protesti that he meant to try this ease on the prinoipm of Suttee, Truth, and Christianity, and desirodto die before the trial was ended if he Awervei from them. In reply to the line of argu ment otiefenee, that society had not kept its com pact wit Mr. Sickles—oonfidlng in the commu nity, lubrouglit his wife hare, and he was not protectd against the evils brought on him by the adultere—Mr. Carlisle said there was a law against clattery ; it was a misdemeanor, punisha ble wade a law of Maryland. Mr. Degrader asked Mr. Carlisle., if he was aware d the penalty of the Maryland sot, and not beitt answered, informed the bar that the fine waslivenandred pounds—of tobacco.

Ile oeMbatted. the Men propounded by the prose in:Wen that the adulterer must be seen in his infa my to give provocation. He argued that the oar and the touch were equally powerful agents of the pied as the eye, and adduced some very strong meet in Illuftration. (See verbatim report.) This bee been Mr. Phillips' chief performance during the trial, and it created a highly favorable opinion. The learned gentleman has been a Re presentative in Congress from Alabama, practised law in Mobile, moved to this city some few years since, and made his first prominent appearance with Charles °Toner, of New York, in the cele brated case of the brig General Armstrong, in the Court of Claims. Mr. Graham addressed the court at considerable length, with his usual ability, in support of the admissibility of the testimony. If the court did not admit it. ho thought the proceedings in this matter should have closed with the coroner's in quest. He thought that something more than the killing of Key was necessary to be shown The state of Sickles' mind at the commission of the deed, and what superinduced it, was just as neces sary. .lie rebuked the ground of the prosecution, that the law only begun when the husband caught the wife in the act of adultery. Nadia Attorney Ould replied far the proseou. Don, and quoted many authorities against the tes timony. lie duck to the "presumptions of law," bolding that killing for revenge was murder. Mr. Odd created a very decided effect by quoting that passage from John, ohapter 8, whore the woman was caught in adultery, and the Saviour, being appealed to, slid the memorable words "lie who is witheut sin, let him first cast a stone at her."
