THE ENG LISH COMMON LAW REPORTS.
by Hon. George Sharswood and George w. Bid
die, esq.
With this Key to their contents, the English Com
mon Law Reports present to the Profession a
lnass of legal learning in the shape of Opinions,
Dicta, elaborate Arguments. &c, &C., sufficient,
probably for the Elucidation and Prosecution or
Defence of any case that can arise in our Courts OF
Law; and being thus made easily and instantly
ccssible, these Reports will be found comprehen
sivc, convenient, and cheap. 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.

RAYMOND MEETING.

We have read some particularly eloquent

received no full report of its proceedings.
From all we can learn, it fully met the ex-
pectations and wishes Of the most sanguine.

this county.

who now pay from $50 to $50 per annum
for newspapers, will be able to command
three times the amount of news and reading

pleasant method Of spending lonesome mo-

rnTrnrrrs I'M TIE CAMP.

The abolition emissaries, scattered through'
out this country, are becoming rather bold IN
some portions of Alabama. They have been
tampering with the slaves of those regions
and induced numbers to runaway. The citi-
zens Of Auburn and Wetumpka have heio
meetings upon the subject, and given notice
to the scoundrels TO leave the State within
corty-eight hours, from service Of notice. Inc
names of some Of the persons thus ordered
to leave the STATE, are a. Bartholomew. L.
D. Prince, J. Berry and one Davis.

PROTECTION AGAINST TIRE

We have often wondered that so Few avail
themselves ofthe facilities offered in Yazno
City,ior securing themselves against the loss
es arising from the burning down Of dwelling
houses in this place and Ficinity. In place
where it is almost impossible to check fire
when it gets under Roadway, no property
holder should fail to have his property, sub
jecl to FIRE, under the protection ofsome res
ponsble Insurance Company. We particu,
larly recommend attention to the advertise
ment Of the "PROTrCTIoN Insurance Com
PANY" in another column. Ii is an old anC
very wealthy CO mPany, and never fails tc
pay promptly all losses covered by its poll

LEGISLATURE OF TEXAS.

This body has passed very strong resolutions
approving the course, and the warlike message
of Governor Bell. It is determined TO assert
and maintain the rights of the State, come what
may. Upon the reception ofthe resolutions at
Austin City. several guns were fired in honor
of the unanimity with which the resolutions
passed. Everything is being done, TO put the
State in posture to protecther rights from
Federal usurp1tion, One of the resolutions
authorizes the Governor to cali for five thous-
and volunteers. An important crisis is crt-

SUPPORT YOUR COUNTY PAPER.

The following article upon this SUBJECT
clipped from an exchange paper, which we
do not recolect, is SO much better "done
up" than we can possibly hope to do it,
that we must insert it and ask our readers
to consider it as our own, the real Simon
pure:
Without good county press there can
be no thorough political organization; and
every county will be sure to have good
press. if it is properly sustained. An editor
whose whole time is occupied either IN
evaGing a writ of ejectmcnt, o: in racking
his brains 10 discover the source Of his next
meal cannot be expected to set the nearest
river on fire by the burning eloquence Of
his editorials, nor to eXterminate his polltl-
cal opponents TO promote the ASPIRATIONS OF
friend who cannot afford TO take his coun-
| ~ paper because Of his liberality to the
press i'll Philadelphia or Baltimore. Let an
editor have the means to pay his debts-to
settle promptly with his paper maker &c,
and loose change enough in his pocket TO
lunch a friend, and he will have the heart
to labor. VIII oar friends think of this!

COTTON.

Thanks to our friends Lowe & PAttison,
Cotton merchants New O.leans, for late
price current, from which we take the sub
joined paragraph which will prove interest
ing to cotton planters:
Whatever may be the extent ofIhe new
crop, however the market prospects must be
considered as highly fauering. We have
shown that the large advance in prices has
thus far bet slightly affected the raiiJ Of con-
sumption, and with usually low stocks in
Europe, q healthy trade, the word at peace,
and food crops abundant, we see little proba-
bility ofthe sup,iy being 50 large as to de-
press prices below the aycrase OF last year,
and the chances would seen, 10 be that even
a somewhat higher average will be realized.
The first bale OF the neIC crop (some zoo
pound,) was received here on the lIth oil
August; being only four days later than he
first receipt last year. We suppose it how
ever, 10 be tolerably well understood by this
time, that these ambitious first bales arc no
reliable index of the general forwarduess oil
the crop, and up TO this date we have receiv.
cd only 81 bales against 447 b les TO same
date last year, and GAG in 1915. the latter
being the largest quantity of new crop ever
received up to the LIST Sept. Ofthe few bales
| received only about 3 J have been sold, at a
range of 1871 and Is cts per pound the latter
