A Confession.
The upper district of Philadelphia, we are in
formed, was thrown into a great state of excite
ment, on Thursday afternoon last, in consequence
of a German, calling himself Augustus Miller,
but whose real name is Augustus Jacoby, con-

The Hudson & Delaware Rail Road.
We published in last week's Jeffersonian,
'the Report of a committee of scientific gentle
men to the President of the iludson & Dela
ware Rail Road Company, in connexion with
an able article from the New York Tribune, in
both of which the importance of the proposed
Rail Road from Newburgh, N. Y. to the Dela
ware Water Gap, in this Stale, thence along
Brodhead's Creek to Stroudsburg, and so on to
the Coal Mines in Luzerne county, was exhib
ited, and the construction thereof strongly
urged. Since then, we believe, the subject has
been pretty generally discussed by our citizens,
and wo are "lad to ascertain that it finds among
them many advocates. Our object in returning
io it, at this time, is to keep alive the attention
of those whose minds have been directed toils
importance, and to point out one or two of the
many advantages which must necessarily re
sult from its completion.
There are but few regions in the United
States, more abundantly blessed with all the
requisites of wealth and prosperity, than this.
Our unimpro7cd lands abound with timber of
almost every description. Our coal mines,
which are continually increasing in number,
contain inexhaustible beds of the best anthra
cite. Our extensive iron mines, teem with the
lichest ore. Our water power, and other means
of manufacturing, are unsurpassed. Yet in
consequence of our isolated situation, and (ho
want of an easy means of communication with
one of our great cities, all these blessings are
of comparatively little advantage to us. By the
construction of a Rail Road, such as has been
proposed, a good and lasting market would be
opened to us for the disposal and employment
of them all.
This is not the only advantage we would de
rive from such an improvement. By its means
we would be brought wiihin a few hours ride
of ihe great commercial metropolis of the Union;
and our merchants and other traders, instead of
being obliged to spend weeks in going to Phil
adelphia io make purchases, and afterwards
having them brought to Easton on the Canal,
and from there here in waggons, could go to
New York one day and return with (heir goods
the next.
In the article of fuel, alone, ".here would be
a saving of thousands of dollars annually, in
consequence of the low price at which Coal
would bo furnished. It is reduced to a cer
tainty, that upon the completion of the Rail
Road, the price of that article could in no event
exceed one dollar per ton in Stroudsburg.
In every light in which this subject may be
vit wed, it presents equal advantages ; both to
us, ?md tn per.-.ons elsewjicre. We have mere
ly considered it in a few of its bearings upon
this place and neighborhood ; and we are sure
ihe picture bhould be bright enough to induce
our capitalists to examine into the matter, and
if they find it as it appears to us, to lake hold
of ihe Mibjeci'in earnest.
liam Heyer, had committed the murder at Change
water, Warren county, N. J., in May last.
The circumstances under which lie made the
confession are briefly these. Jacoby had a quar
rel with -Heyer, at a beer house, in the Northern
Liberties, on Wednesday evening, and also one
on Thursday afternoon. By the interference of
the keeper of the hous"e, the parties made friends
and shook hands. A few minutes after, Jacoby
called the keeper of the house out of doors, and
told him he might make a thousand dollars. That
a reward to that amount had been offered for the
perpetrators of the Warren county murder, and
that he and Ilevcr were the ones who had com
mitted it. They then returned to the house, and
the keeper told Heyer he had belter fly to Balti
more or some other place. Heyer declared he
was innocent, and refused to do so. In a few
minutes the house was crowded, and the two men
conveyed to the watch house.
On Friday morning, however, when -they were
brought up for examination, Jacoby made a con-
his aspirations. The people art; not to be deiu
ded into a support of the self-same man, whose
imbecility they relinked in 1840 they have
driven the plunderer.-, from thft capitol, they will
have no agency in a "restoration of the Bourbons."
Lei, the characters of Henry Clav and Mar
recognized as Wings, and inis impression
many are unable or are too patriotic to bo will
ing io conceal. Though policy may dictate lo
forbear, truth will occasionally force its way
through all ihe restraints which it imposes, in
a decided and candid avowal of a preference
which honesty will nol allow ilieni to repress.
Among others, the Hamburg (S. C.) Journal,
(Calhoun loco) gives expression to hi.- feelings
on this subject which cannot be mistaken. The
Journal says :
" We prefer the whig candidate decidedly
to Mr. Yan Buren, and unless we are egregious
ly mistaken, the good people of the South co
incide with us. Not that we are in favor of
Mr. Clay, but let us have him in preference io
the other. Clay is a candid man, and what he
docs, comes openly and aboveboard ; we know
how to take him he fights fairly hut when
we have to march under the banner of a inai
cian, we feel uncomfortable, and wish to have
a running start, as the party must be driven
'back under such a leader. Therefore we ad-
wonder that the South, with its love of noble
deeds and gallant bearing should prefer to vote
for Henry Clay, rather than Martin Yan Buren,
despite all political preferences. Who would
not prefer to support the champion of Universal
Liberty, the friend of Poland, Greece and the
South American republics, the father of ihe
American sy.-.tem. the pacificator of the vexed
Missouri quotion. he who compromised the
nullification difficulties and has ever shown
himself a patriot, and stateMiian, in preference
to Martin Van Buren, whcw sole and onlv act
of diplomacy on recoid is the alteration of the
treaty terms of our trade with the West Indies,
which has nearly de.itroyed that once lucrative
source of commercial wealth and given our
maritime- rival advantages over us, which can
never be regained !
