The Beardstown Times mentions the reseipt of a rocont letter from the agant in. New York of the Illinois River Railroad Company, (GEo. Davis, from which it appears chat throo chips loaded with rails for enid road sailed from England previous to the 19th of February, for New York, and they probably arrirod at New York before this time. We also learn from the same letter that one hundred tons of spikes sod twenty- -four thousand absirs bare baso delivered to said agent for the road. This is one half of the chairs and apikes needed for the whole road.
It also, appears that a contract has been concluded with an entirely responsible party, for the transportation of the rails, chaira nnd spikes for the whole road at fire dollars per ton from Now York to Chicago.

It is largely to the interest of thee young cities to encourage emigration to the gold mines, and we are fearfal that they are not over-scrupulous io confning themselves atrict truth, when drawing golden picturce. We bava been shown private letter from a gentleman now in the gold regian, which speaks moat encouragingly of the mines. The writer was sent out by a large Eastern drm last fail, to ascortain and report the exact troth cozcerning the gold deposits.

Bar, 48 shown, their, motives or Tassons for that opposition wero various. Many opposed it because they were convinced that Sluvery tended only to poverty. They reasoned that the moss fertile Jands woold be worD out, as experienue proved, by aluse enisure, that the whito population woald too effemiante, or proad, or lazy to work; and would consequently degenerate both physically and morally, it The consolences of were not 90 much troubled on the subjoot as their pockets; and especially their regard for their offspring.
They bad left Slavery und slaves in the Slave States because they found them deleterious to their childreu; and were unwilling to bare their own beioved ones injured, perbaps ruined, by the associations and duences necessarily or st losat certainly, growing out of the relation, and the temper and habits engendered by it. To avoid such orila, whien they were too claur aighted not too see, they detormined to get away from Slavery, and bring up their children in a Free State. The evils and dangors were too great and too imminent to risk.And so they packed up their goods, sold their slaves and other property, not wanted, and came to Illinois. Aod beving led From Slavery once they desired not to be entangled in its mesbes again. Henoe we found chora contending by the side of real antiSlavery such ten the against the Oonvention.
To economion! argument was most effective. lt is probable that there were many of chia class in Monroe onunty, whor*, I beliere, Mr. Foril resided at the time; and hence his impression that the introduction of Slavery was resisted, not 80 much upon the ground of opposition to it in general, us simply upon the grounds DE policy and expediency. I had tho good fortune to ba connected in tho 000- test with some of she most active of the opponents of sho Convention; and can city of my own knowledge that white they ased this argument and uli otber sound and true ones chat they could to produce impression, their own reason for their resistance, the mighty prinoiple that actuated them, was a deep deuted sense of the wrong, the injustice, this heinous sin of enslaving baman beings. I said they used all other arguments that broaght tu bear on the public miud.
Some of these were legal or constitutional, especiully on the ordinance of 1787. There was particularly one that to mo, writ. ten by a geosleiuna who das wings oocapiad one of the bighest seats of the judiciary not only, but masotnined the highest position as a jurist and upright man, which 1 wish could be brought ouw boforo the public. Is was a luminous exbibition of tho legai question. I remember another, nlegorical and satirical, intended to expose tho false faith which chunze of the constitution in this regard would manifest.
But whaterer, and bowerer varied the are gaments used, the foundation principle of the of opposition was the paormons wrong and gailt slavors. The question WAR Dot: is is a sin per so but, is slavery as it exists, and as it is designed to be in our State, criminal. There was a poblio conscience on the sabjest. The moat active of the opt pononts were notuated by principle, not expediency. Aud is is no slight evidence of this, that while the convention itself receive.
