A GENERAL INDEX

THE ENG LISH COMMON LAW REPORTS.
BY Hon. George Sherwood and George w. Bid
die, esq
With this Key to their contents, the English Com
mon Law Reports present to the Profession a
mass of legal learning in the shape of Opinions,
Dicta, elaborate Arguments. Gc., &c, sufficient,
probably for the EIucidation and Prosecution or
Defence of any case that can arise in Courts
Law; and being thus made easily and instantly ac-
cessible, these Reports will be found so comprehen-
sivo, convenient, and cheap. as to supersede the
necessity of other and more expensive series.
The Index will be found of great value to all pos
scssing the reports; and of great convenience to
those having access to- but not owning the series.

CIRCULAR.

THE UNDERSIGNED proposes to publish a
political Weekly paper in the German Ian
guage, in the City Of Washington in support of the
principles by which the Administration of Gene
raj Taylor came into power, and being dcsirous to
obtain the aid and cooperation of the Wing party,
he would respectfully state the reasons which, in
his estimation, make 1t desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the sea
of Government.
/. The number of those who use the German Ian
guage their medium of intercourse is upwards of
Three Millions, and this number is constantly in
creasing by immigration.
.. The name of Democrats being the appellation
OF the liberal or popular party OF Germany, to
which all the immigra before their emigration
belonged, they do, of course, range themselves with
the party bearing that appellaton in this country,
soon as they are able to exercise the elective
franchise; and the more so, as the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety il is to this
Interpretation to the best advantage.
3. Although there are few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally local character,
and, relying for their support more on local patron
age than on their subscription lists, they do gene
rally stand fall with the defeat of the
Wing party in their particular section.
4, The Germans, however, being an intelligent
and reading people, are accessible TO sound argu-
ment, and paper conducted with uprightness and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees,
TO overcome prcludices correct errors and msap-
prehensions, and by its own direct influence, as
well as by its influence upon the local Wing pa
pors, in existence, will, il is hoped, produce
the desired effect, and gain the rejecting and think
ing, that Is the influential, portion of the German
| citizens, over 10 the Wing ranks.
5. The undersigned is well aware that he has
| many and serious obstacles to overcome, but rely
ing upon the power of truth and the cooperation
OF the Wing party, on account of the intrinsic
merits of his enterprise does not fear 10 be charged
with entertaining too sangunc hopes, if he antici
pates satisfactory result.

reported favorably, assigning many cogent reas-

ton signed "A Stockholder.' The subscriptions
we understand is filling up slowly, and we do
hope the enterprise will meet with success. Be-
side very full report, made by the Committee,
in which they state the arguments in favor OF
the enterprise, they gave 10 Mr.. Brush, one OF
the Company, to attach to his subscription List,
the following letter;-
eve, the undersigned, a Committee appoint
ed OH behalf of the citizens OF Staunton, to ex-
anime the testimonials of Messrs w. F. KENT
& Co.. and the terms on which they propose to
construct a Telegraph Line up the Valley, are OF
opinion, that line of Telegraph would be OF
great utility to the Valley of Virginia that Mes
srs. KENT & Co. are to be relied on as able and
faithful contractors, and that they will honestly
discharge their duties to the Stockholders; and
we believe their terms, under all the clrcum-

RESURRECTION OF NEGROES.

We have heard from several creditable sources
that the negroes of Monroe County contemplated
an instruction about the first of this month. 1t
seems that this awful design was revealed by a
young nurse. We understand that the infection
of corporeal punishment had the effect of caus-
ing one of the negroes engaged in the heipous
plot to confess tie fact. We are informed, fur
thermore, that several blacks are now imprison-
ed, and that several wlsites are strongly suspect
ed of deserving like treatment. 1t seems that it
was their design to burn and piunaer the town "
and then, gathering strength in their progress, to
burn, plumber and murder, as means of etfecting
their escape into some free State. We are graf
flied that this horrible and terrifying design has
been blighted in the embryo state; and rejoice
to feel that we have but few, if any in our COM
munity, who can for a moment, sympathise
with those s:noble blacks" and feel and believe
that they '9only wanted success to crown them
with y."-Lewisburg Chronicle, May 9.

FROM CALIFORNIA.
Arrival of the Empire City and
Georgia.
Photographed for the Baltimore Sum-

New York, May 7-P. M.
The steamers Empire City and Georgia, from
Chapres, announced this morning, as below, have
come up to their wharves. They bring one months
later news from California. The steamer Pana-
ma had arrived with ono and half million dollars
In cold dust. The Panama sails Immediately
again for San Francisco, full Of passengers.
The dates are from San Francisco to Friday
evening" March 20.
There has been continuation Of fine weather,
which was beginning to produce an effect upon
tho market, which had been in rathera torpid state.
Although there has been no transactions Of any
note still there is disposition Of evidently tmore
extensive operations, which it is thought will be
more apparent after the sailing Of the steamer.
Another matter of great Importance to the trade
is the decline in the rates of interest; the high
rates heretofore maintained having been Of the
greatest obstacles ia the way of operations.
The Pacific News, of the 30th of March, says:
Our streets were greatly enlivened last evening by
professions with bands of music, formed Of the
friends of Col. Jack Hays. The gathering at the
red house numbered in all about 900 persons,
and the proceedings marked with high degree
of enthusiasm. The noise Of the evening was
heard throughout the city.
The San joaquin Valley from the Pacific Valley
brings dates to the Both March. The travel to-
wards the southern mines is increasing daily, and
the prospects in that region the coming season are
more flaitering than last year. New placers are
being discovered, and new towns are gradually
being laid out as the population increases Stock
ton is growing rapidly and business very brisk
The new city of San Joaquin is increasing with
magical SPEED, and will become during the sea
con, a town Of great Importance and extensive
magnitude.
