lowing:
"Don Pedro Garcia Condo, and the officers of the
Mexican boundary Commission left chihuahua on
the 23d of November, for Paso del Nortc. The
point where the line strikes the Rio del Norte is
to be first determined, and the line running from

course Of the Rio del Norte to its mouth.

by the physician who attended them both died.
Two hundred men, from the battalion uerero, had
deserted, carrying with them the greater part of
the arms and ammunition. In Tehuantepec there
are only one hundred and eighty men, including
soldiers aud citizens. Melcndez, knowing the
condition Of the city, was his way to attack it..
His forces amounted to one thousand men.
"Several returning Caifornians had re lchcd the
little port of San Francisco, having lost their YES
sci in the lagoons of Marquee, where they had put
in for water. They had set out for Coatzocoalcos
to return thence to the United States
"Two other vessels had touched at Tehuantepec
and landed several passengers, among whom were

AGRIcULrunAL.-The Rockville (Md.) Journal
gives the proceedings of the Agricultural Society
of Medley's district, in that county, embracing a
report by committee, after personal inspection,
upon the condition of every farm within the limits
OF the district. A more admirable and practical
means of furthering the cause OF agriculture, and
stimulating endeavor in particular localities, could
not be devised, and the plan should be universally
initiated. The Journal says:
ave cannot but congratulate the citizens of the
county, and of Medley's district particularly, on
the growing popularity of this admirable institu-
ton, the beneficial results of which not only
Medley's district contains population which, for
industry, intelligence, enterprise, and respectable
ty can compete with any people in Maryland or
elsewhere"

We published, some days ago, brief ac-
count Of the working Of this great legal reform,
and Of the reception which 1t has met with,
and the opinions which have been expressed Of
it in England. Later advices inform us that
it is not only highly approved, but is likely to
become the model Of similar reform in that
country. The Common Law Commissioners
have recommended changes which embody some
of its most important features. They have
proposed the total abolition of all the technical
forms of action; and have suggested that every
pleading shall be considered sufficient which
1''shall clearly and distinctly state sufficient
cause Of action, defence, or reply, as the case
may be-" and that no kind of formal or techni-
cal statement shall, under any circumstances,
be required. These, and numerous other pro-
posed alterations, are copied substantially from
the New York code.
While, however, the code is thus rapidly
gaining foothold abroad, it continues to en-
counter opposition and distractions at home.
The main cause of this opposition we have be-
fore sufficiently indicated. 1t is not so much a
dislike to this particular measure of reform as
| hatred of all reform. Any thing involving a
wide departure from the beaten track would
have been opposed in the same manner. 1t is
impossible to make some people admit that the
quintessence of human wisdom was not taught
when they went to school. So there are vast
number of lawyers and Judges, who not only
| never could see any merit in the New York
code, but did not wish it to succeed, and were
determined that, SO far as in them lay, it never
should succeed. Some of the most pitiable speci-
mems Of the "captatio Uerbo,1m" that we have
ever met with are the criticisms that have been
made in these quarters. Men who have been
dealing for years in an antiquated rigmarole--
q mixture of gLatin and dog English
which was meaningless enough when it was
first invented, and has long since lost all the
meaning it ever had, undertake to turn into
ridicule the plain, concise, common-sense Ian
guagc in which the new code is expressed. II
all the exertion which has been wasted in en-
deavoring to pick it to pieces had been used in
administering it in friendly spirit, it would
have swept away every vestige of the old sys-
tenn long ago.
AS it is, it must be expected to make slow
progress. Until a generation shall arise who
have been educated under it-without any here
ditary prejudices against tit will never have
fair play. No doubt there are many who
would gladly throw it aside at once, and
return to the system which it has sup
planted; but we have no fear that they will
succeed in doing that. Revolutions never go
backward. The people have undertaken TO
simplify the law--to abolish its absurdities-to
do away with the distinction between common
law and common sense; and we have an abid-
| ing faith that the people will carry their point
