Jutt so with the people of the South.. An enterprise Is under taken, but H it very seldom that the mesos obtained are equal to the under taking thia being the cate, to accom pli th the object they had in view when they fiert started, they must wait pa tiently until they can obtain the means, and how often is it the case that those who were foremoat in the undertaking, from the indifference of ethers; become so disheartened with the undertaking, that they abandon it and offer their to vestments for half of their costr i Taka tht South Carolina Rail Road for en example.

Port Gibson, Mis. June 15. An awful accident occurred on the Mississippi rirery nearly opposite Grand Gulf, on Tuesday last, by which nine persons loot their lives. The ferry boat, containing Mr. Eiijali L. Clark, and part of hi family, consisting or bia son and daughters in law Mrs. Gibson Clark and child, Mrs. John U. Clark and child, and Miss Coursey, sister of Mrs.' Gibson Clark, ared about twelve years, also four of his ne groes, throe grown and one child, making ten io all, aod - four horses, lircwrfgktli to Chitaloosa, got into an eddy of the Gulf; and in the confusion that ensued, the horses became frighten ed, and rushinr to one end -ut. the flat, tilted it uader watrrj , the eddv at the 'moment aeizinr it. drew the end downwards, until the boat atood almost perpendicular in the water. The motion was so sudden that every thing was precipitated into the stream. The horses swam to shore; but all the persons were drowned, with the exception of Mr. Clark, the cbtld oryrjoh the ferryman. Mr. Clark eaved himself bxiemnrrliorae which brought him to ahbre7 tfie ferryman on his flat, -and the child floated until picked up by a boat which put off from the shore. Thus haa been given a death stroke to the happiness of this respected family. The bodies of the unfortunates have not, we understand, been found, Mrs. John B. Clark has left one or phan aon. : - It is said in Connecticut papers, that efforts are in progress to save the Uvea of Scott and Reynolds, now in jail under sentence "of death for the murder, of the. keeper, of toe State prison, in attempting to break, Thegrouhda are pureFy technical. and the proceedings are by writ of habeas corpus, to test the legality of their execution on the following case, wbicb presents a singular question: The prisoners, on their conviction, were sentenced to be hung on the 28th of June, hut the Legislature being-in session, by special ' order directed a postpone ment of the execution to the last Friday in September. It ia now contended that the powers of the Legislature are strictly confined to pardon, or commutation of punish ment, and they could nut constitu tionally interfere merely with the time of carrying the judgment of thai court into effect - llie Counsel for the convicts therefore contend that the day fixed by tha court having passed, tht Sheriff cannot legally execute the sentence. ; The effect of a decision in favor of tht writ ap plied for would be the unconditional discharge of tht prisoners. We should like to knew-whether this really ba the law in Connecticut, at thia day.

(P Since the above was received, we have conversed with . several people who came up in the Conncc ticut yesterday,- and they, all state that they, saw, about ten o'clock Yesterday morning, a little-- below Nahant three-r' four' of the ser pents, one of which was certainly ivu iecw in. icngin 7- X7U fFrom the Lbmloa Alhenstiniu ufa ting RuU- H ay. This con tnvancev we Juve already cursori ly noticed, has occasioned some dis cussion among scientific and prac tical men; but it does not appear that any explanation of its effects lias been suggested. Indeed, we are inclined to think, that the patentees themselves are not fully aware of the physical principle on which the ad vantage which they have undoubted 1y gained, depends. " - The problem ' is one,' the full il lustration anddevelopcmentof which would reqiii re the language, and symbols ot mathematical physics some notion of It may, however be conveyed in i surh a manner aa to be intelligible to the reader. - We ahtl first atate what it is that the uudulat ing rail way performs, in which the level rail way fails; and we shall next explain the physical law on which (this depends. . . . .,. ,:tU- uitherto, it has been received as a practical -axiom, that rail ways can only be advantageously applied between points where a uniform dead level can be obtained. Now the pa tentees of the undulating rail Way maintain a. proposition which is the logical contradictory of this. They hold, that even if the project ed be natnrally a dead level, it must be - artificially -cut" into upa and downs, as to keep the had constant ly ascending and descending until the journey is completed; and In to doing, they assert that the tram- Ert is produced in a considerably is timt with tht same moving power, or in the same time with a much less expenditure of the mov ing principle. Again, it hat been held at a practical axiom that ir on a rail way, it becomes necessary to ascend from one level to another, the ascent ie most advantageously made by a plane uniformly . inclined from the lower to the hirher level. On the contraryVllie patentees oTlhe ondulating rail way hold that the ascent is effected with a lesser pow er, by dividing the Intervals into upa and downs, so as4o cause the car riagt alternately to descend and aa cend until it arrives at the upper lev el. Indeed, one of these propositions follow from tht other, for if a greater momentum is generated "in going from one point to another of the same level, by undulation in the rail way, that txceaa tf rnomantuoawili carry tht load to a greater height (baa the momentum ahich tht aamt power would gcrferate on a level rail way. . These facts have .been illustrated by a small model on a Wiraden rail way In tha Adelaide ' street ex. hibition-room. .
