FROM ALFRED HENNEN, ESQ, OF THE
NEW ORLEANS BAR.

BOSTON, SEPT. o. IoOU.
Messrs LITTLE & BRowN: Gentlemen-I am
much pleased to learn that you are engaged in
publishing revised edition Of Strahan's transla-
ton of DOMAT ON CIVIL LAW. No workin
the English language, the same subject, is to be
compared with 1t, for the fullness and correctness
OF the doctrine conveyed throughout it.
Erom the time of its publication, up to the pre-
ssnt, it has received the appreciation of the most
learned men and lawyers in every country, and
very deservedly. The compiiers Of the Code Ma
poleon drew copiously from it for their work. Ma
poleon himself studied it most carefully in early
life, which may account for the singular acuenesi
and wisdom Of his observations and decisions, dur
ing the discussions on the adoption of his CODE
Domat should, and hope will be, found in the IL
brary of every American lawyer.
Your obedient servant, ALFRED HENNEN.

FROM HON. JUDGE EUSTIS, CHIEF JUSTICE
OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA.


BRooKLINE, Ocr. IL, 1850.
GENrLEMEN: have examined the sheets of the
translation Of the admirable work OF Domat on the
Civil Law, which you have been kind enough to
10 the science of law by the publication. The form
vi the English edition Of the translation was toe
large and inconvenient-and its scarcity and high
price prevented its general in this country. The
cu,iun, and moderate price, Think, cannot fail ir
rsmunerating you. The translation by MIR. Stra
nan has been tested it is in the main correct. bu
will be improved under the revision of the editor
Judge Cushing.
In searching for a solution of the apparently new
questions arising out of the various relations which
our advance in civilization is creating, and in judg-
ing of those reforms law which are in progress
in different parts of the United States, the value oi
the civil law will be appreciated az it comes to be
understood. 1t cannot be otherwise with system
of written reasons which for centuries governed the
most wonderful social organization that the world
has ever witnessed, and which IL the real basis oi
the jurisprudence of continental Europe. and of q
large portion of that Of England and the United
States.
1t would be quite useless for me to speak of the
merits of the great work which your enterprise ia
about to give to the American public. From the
isolated position which the civil law has been per-
rnitted to occupy in England, few of the standard
works concerning il have been translated into Eng
lish, and this want has not been supplied by the
original Engliah treatises on that subject. have
no doubt that in Louisiana, in Texas, in Califor-
nia and in the Territories Of the tied States,
as well as in Lower Canada, there will be ready
demand for your publication. The profession
throughout the Union will readily lend their favor
TO the undertaking.; and trust that your enter
prsing house will find it's interest in publishing
from time to time, in the English language, such
other standard works will form the basis Of q
civil law library.
l remain, gentlemen, very respectfully, youi
obedient servant, GEORGE EUSTlS.

JUsTPUBLIsHED, DOMAT (n1.) CIVIL Law
IN ITS NATURAL ORDER, translatedlnto En- gilsn
by wm Strahan, LID, Advocate in Doctors:
Commons Edited, from the second LONDON Ell
ton, by Hon. LUTHER S. GUSHING, late one OF
the Judges in the Court of Common Pleas; now Lee,
turer on Civil and Parliamentary Law In HARVARD
University. In vols. Royal Sv0.
Among the writer's on the Roman Law whose
works are best known to English and American
lawyers, and which have exerted the mos. lnnu
work, entitled The Civii L0so in its Natural Or
DER" says Judge Story, preface to Bailments,)
considering the age and the circumstances in
which it was written, is truly wonderful per-
iormance. His method is excellent, and his mat
ter clear, exact, and comprehensive"
The object of the author, in this learned produc-
ton, was to disembarrass those Of the principles
and provisions of the Roman law, which are of gen
eral interest and application, from the technical
ties of the system, and, by presenting them in
natural and scientific method to render them more
ineligible, and their attainment more useful and
agreeable; and, though the work was particularly
intended for and adapted to the French jurispru-
dence of the age it is not less applicable to every
system of law, If which the Roman code is either
part or in which it is recognised as body Of
written reason. Besides the general claims which
the work thus possesses to the attention OF the Ame
r.can lawyer Domat has peculiar interest in those
of the States whose legal Institutions are derived
in part from those of France or Spain, and are thus
founded in the Roman law.
These reasons have induced q belief on the part
of the publishers that modern edition OF this ceie-
brated work would be acceptable to the profession,
and have led them to engage in a republication OF
the English TRANSLATION Of it by DR.. Strahan

Arrest and Execution OF those VvA0
g. DsA "a


Capt Geo. A. Shannon, who is we'll and
favorably known to all our citizens, handed us
letter which he received by yesterday . mail
from Mr.. Oliver P. Myers, brother to Major
Myers, our present county supervisor, which
contains some interesting items for the lovers
of novelty Mr.. NJ, better known, perhaps, a.
Perry Myers, writes from Trinity River, where
he is successfully engaged in mining and the
rapid accumulation Of handsome fortune, with
which he expects to return home the ensuing
fall The tide Of emigration to California he
represents as still immense, and the consequent
cause of much and virulent disease. short
time prior to his writing, as many as twelve
hundred passengers were stated to hare arrived
from Panama, at Francisco, on one vessel.
Emigration is so immense that many have al.
ready got as high up into the mountains rs two
hundred and fifty miles. He states the naked
act, that those nccndiaries who destroyed San
Francisco have been detected and hanged.
The NAL cond,tion of the country is represent
ed in the following language =" 1t would be
useless for me to attempt description Of the
many crimes and depredations that occur daily
in this country. Suffice it to say, that you
would be shocked at the enorm,ties that prevail
amongst the people, who live like beasts of
prey" We had occasion, few days ago, to
notice the condition of society in California, ~
CLEANED from the various sources of information
relative to that country. The above is melan.
choly ratification Of the most lamentable moral
restitution. and goes far to account for the
reasons why so few find in that country suffi.
cient lnducement to remain
Mr.. NJ. is accompanied by his two brothers,
Andrew and Milford, who purpose remaining
over until next spring.

Who Killed Tee umaeh Z

We observe that this old question is again GO
ing the rounds Of the press. We have not
doubt but that that honor is due to COL johnson,
One strong evidence is the fact that the Col.
said he had killed him but when we come to
add to his word for it, all the corroborative tes-
mony that has been adduced, we cannot see
how DOUBT can be left upon the mind of any
one. Among other evidences, is that Of Mr..
CONWAY, the distinguished editor of I" Copway's
American Indian" who says that several dis
tinguished Chiefs who were at the side Of To-
cumseh when he fell at the battle Of the Thames,
told him all the particulars Of his destA; md a.
serted most positively that he was Killed by Col.
Johnson. But again, it is well known that at
night when it became known to all that Tecum-
sch had been slain, his body was produced and
fully identified, and that no man bat Cot, .Joh.-
son ercr claimed the honor. The Indians all
agreed that the man who killed him was seen
by them, and we think that had not Col. Johnson
been that man, the honor would most certainly
have been claimed, at least, BY some other
person.

Tragedy in Genoa.

The Paris correspondent of the ST. Louis Re-
publican details the following, among other hor.
rible incidents that have TRANSFERRED in Genoa
On the 18th of June, at one o'clock in the
evening, Mr.. Evangelist, Chancellor of the
Criminal Tribune, (Which believe means a
kind Of sheriff) and a friend of His Holiness,
Plus TX, was assassnated in the street, as he
was about entering the house of friend. Mr.,
Evangelist, celebrated for the violence of his
character, treated the political prisoners under
his charge with the greatest cruelty.
Among others imprisoned for political often
ces was man, young, of excellent character
and family, ard the husband of beautiful devo-
ted wife He has been in prison several m on,hs
suffering every privation and cruelty, and caus
ing the most heart rending anxiety to his young
wife. She had been again and again to Evan
G. listi, and on her knees implored him to inter
cede for the release of her husband, His answer
was always the same: he would grant her re
quests, but only upon one condition, condi-
ton which always made the beautiful woman
bow her head in shame, and leave the monster
in despair. At last her husbands sufferings
were increased, and his state Of health became
alarmng-the poor wife could bear it no long
er-once more she went to Evangelist, and
returned with her husbands pardon in her
hand, and dishonor branded upon her brow
But she was Roman and she did not forget the
example OF her heroic ancestors. The ne xt day
her husband was free, but when the shadows OF
night fell over the city, the wife who had offered
herself up sacrifice Tor him she loved, watched
alone in the streets. for. her destroyer.
Evangelist left his house, but saw not who
followed him-knew not until he felt dagger
in his heart; then, as he looked up, he saw two
black eyes, which he knew, even in their fury
as they gazed an instant upon him from out the
hood of mans cloak. The next morning, in
one of the small rooms of the public bath house
of Genoa, the dead body of the devoted wife
was found. She had brought the tragedy to
its most terrible point, by ending her own life

SoMETHISG NovEL.-A reliable TREND yes
te, day detailed to US the following very remark
able circumstances
Since the commencement of the term Of the
Circuit Court for our county, it became neces-
sary for Mr. Merrlweather, brother of the gentle
man some time since murdered in our county, to
attend as prosecutor of Peterson, the perpetrator
of the horrible crime. 1t so happened that he
rode the horse that his deceased brother was
riding on the day of his murder by Peterson.
He was in the company of some friends, and
travelled the same road. The horse is very
fine spirited bay, docile in temper, and with an
intelligent eve When they approached near
the sce.e Of the murder, the horse manifested
evident signs Of alarm and restiessaess. Observ-
ing the singular conduct of the horse, MIR. Mer-
riwcather determined to give him the rein and
watch his movements. As he approached near
err the spot of the murder, he elevated his head
and tail-appeared to be watchful, and frequent
ly uttered that snort so peculiar to spirited hor
ses when apprehensive of danger. The noble
animal finally smelt the ground, and trailed
the course which the body of his former master
had been conveyed by his murderer. He final
ly reached the spot, slaelt the ground, and paved
and snorted. He then took circle in the woods
at a moderate trot, returned to the place where
the body was found, and repeated the same GER
emory. This he did several times in success.
SION And when refined up, it was with great
reluctance that he was forced to leave the place.
Is this instinct, reason, or what is it? We have
the facts from a source well informed and en-
tirely reliable We should like to have phil
osphical solution Of this remarkable event

Difference in favor Of new line, $32, 474
Within three days. my attention has been
called to another route, comprising portions of
each of the above named lines, passing up
Langworthy and Bachelor ravines, by Hagan's
lead, and, after interesting branch of the
Catfish, following up the course of said branch,
and meeting the other line at Smiths Summit
a.! miles from Dubuque. have caused to be
made careful survey on three miles, compri-
sing the difficult portions Of this route, and
should have examined the remainder previous to
this report, had time permitted. However, the
remaining distance is upon very level ground,
upon the corresponding distance on the estima-
ted line. have made an estimate upon the
cost Of the three miles; and the result is con-
elusive, that combination of the two routes af-
fords cheaper and better line than either of
the others. In the construction of this line,
there will be 90 feet less of rise to be overcome,
i'll leaving Dubuque, before reaching an eleva-
tion-where there are moderate grades, and the
rise need not be greater than IS feet per mile,
except for about 900 feet, where it may be from
SO to 90 feet per mile The road bed across the
deep rayines upon the first mile of the line, may
be made of earth instead of bridging, which
will render it permanent and more secure from
accident in the transportation Of passengers and
freight, and the line may be constructed in the
manner just named to the intersection with the
northline at Smiths Summit, at saving of some
eight n ten thousand dollars over the line by
Levan's lead, maistng the difference in favor Of
the new line, as compared nth the line up the
Catfish over forty thousand dott4rs,
