The trial for an attempt at abducton, laat wtek. re aulled in the acquittal of the negroc implicated, there being no sufficient proof to rutain the cca aation. , .V , There can. be no doubt but preparation were made to lake off one or more negToea, but it iaagood naxirji that it ia better for the guilty to eecape than for the Innocent to euflcr. Thlt transaction brings vividly to the minds of slaveholders, the danger to which their property is subjected by the present System o.' labor on ship board. But the perplexity is not a little enlmnced in contemplating the best mod for correcting ihe evil. We hare heard of several plans, but none of ihem are fret from objections, even in the minds of those who propose them. We trust the parties Immediately interested will take the subject into consideration, and by compa ring notes, seme regulation may be adopted for the -security of tb owners aa well as the well-being of the Slavs. '.

So long as the per -pie of the South submit quietly to the Impositions of Railroad Companies, they will be continned. - I.nst Wednesday we got out of the enrs three several times on the Wilmington fond to help pnh them over ascending cradfe, owing to a fracture In tlie eieampipe of the locomotive, which ought to have been repaired before Hurting. A the r.tult of this delay some 50 pascnaers und the great Seutlicrii moil wre detained 24 hours In Charleston. In go ing East, ihe cars ran oil the track and detained the mail and passengors a day at I'otersbiirah. The steamer llmf ply between Wilmington arid Charlta ton nre old, dirty and slow concerns unfit for quick service. . "It is disgraceful to ths country hat no better and surer lncns of conveysnce tiy land exists be twern the Northern end Kouihern portions of the United .SlHiwt. At two cents a mile for pnasengers, a through Railroad from New Orlcnns to New York would pay a handsome dividend on the sum it would cost to build it." We do not bellevo the English language contains in ihe samo number of words a greater amount of unblushing misrepresentations thin the above. When men confine their complaints within the range of probability, they may hopu to be credited. Bat the above attempts to " prove too much," and, there fore proves not liln. ' " Old dirty steam bouts" and " pushing the cars," is coming it pretty strong over tho cTudullty of the public. The fuct is, those who rail At our tine have other interests to lent., and cliooso to report to libels to promote their designs, Honor and truth will not anewor ilu'ir purposes. The people of Augusta and Columbia romonM ra nd with Col. Uadsdcn, because he did nulstart ear lier, ns olir lloais always arrive before 10 o'clock, A. M And yet the Augusta Editors berate our line, while the Charleston Courier commends its punctu ality. The fact is, the Southern Mail is vsry often detained 24 hours in Charleston. , The New Orleans Picayune and the Dally Adver tiser, have both published an account olthe depart ure of the Cars from Cliorlcelun at 10 A.M. Thus sflbrding ground for complaint w here none legiti mately exists. As to pushing the Cars along tha road such a thing might happen on any road, through misadven ture, and no well-meaning person would tensur in such a cass. But we are assured that it did not hap pen as stated by the Auguita Edilora. It would be a little strange if such a thing were to take place and no one here know any thing of Ihe matter. If the Augusta people are so anxioua for a '' thro' rail rond," from New York tt New Orleans, they may learn that the Books for subscriptions to ths Stock of the Wilmington & Manchester Road are open, and the world would be ghid to see an evidence of thsir sincerity, by noting the .amount they sub scribe to that project. The Wilmington t Weldon Road is in progress of being re-laid with iron of the' best sort, and the connsxion will answer all the pur poses required by them. So thero is no necessity for any new undertaking. Besides, when tho Man chester Road is completed, the "dirty" Boats will be dispensed with, and the garments ol the Augusts nobiliiy no longor soiled by these vulgar things. The facts of the case ate, that the Wilmington 4. Weldon Rail Road Company have done more, than any other Company in the Union, to facilitate trav el and minister to the comfort of tht traveller In proportion to their means and the patronage they receive. That much more has not been done, Is in part owing to vile and unprincipled croakers like these under consideration, whose hostility arises from selfish and mercenary motives ; who would destroy this line to build up others and who, so far from instituting a manly opposition or cherishing an honorable enterprise, resort to petty devices and mean contrivances, and show that truth ia by no means an essential ingredient in the composition of their hostility. STEAM LINE TO EUROPE. The Philadelphia .V. American of the 1st Inst, says: We arc glad, at last, to record, that a direct effort Is to bo mad to esta blish a line of steam ships between this city and Europe.

But nei ther are to partake of tht coasting trade of tha other. For instance, no "British ship tin Sling' a Cargo tb New York and then take a eargt to Boston, nor ban she take o cargo from any ono of our ports to anoth er ; neither can an American ship takt a cargo from' London to Bristol, or Kingston, Ju males, or Port Royal ; bul she can from any port in Greet Britain1 lo any port of any British colony. An American merchant in Canton, therefore, may aend bis ship loaded with teas, ailks, dtc. to any part of Great Britain, or to any of her colonel possessions, upon the same terms that a British merchant can ; so that the carrying trade between tht East Indies and Great Britain will be open lo a fair competition bt' iwecn the ship of ihe two ceuntriet, and It remslns I to bo seen which can beat ihe otlur In this compe tition, iWon Allot.
