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

BRooxLINE, Der. IL, 1850.
GENTLEMEN: have examined the sheets Of the
translation Of the admirable work Of Domat on the
Civil Law, which you have been kind enough to
send me- You win have rendered great service
to the science of law by the publication. The form
of the English edition Of the translation was too
large and inconvenient-and its scarcity and high
price prevented its general use in this country The
present publication, from it's form, its style OF exc
cution, and moderate price, think, cannot fail in
rcmuncrating you. The translation by MIR. Stra-
has been tested it ia in the main correct, but
will be improved under the revision Of the editor,
Judge Cushing.
In searching for q 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 of the law which are in progress
in different parts Of the United States the value Of
the civil law will be appreciated as ii comes to be
Understood. II cannot be otherwise with a system
of written which for centuries governed the
most wonderful social organization that the world
has ever witnessed, and which is the real basis OF
the Jurisprudence of continental Europe. and OF q
large portion OF that OF England and the unitcd
States.
| It would DO 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-
United to occupy in England, few of the standard
works concerning it have been translated into Eng
Iish, and this want has not been supplied by the
original En- glish treatises on that subject. hnvo
no doubt that in Louisiana, in Texas, in Califor-
MA and in the Territories Of the UL tied States,
as well as in Lower Canada, there will be a ready
! demand for your publication. The profession
throughout the Union will readily lend their favor
TO the undertaking; and trust that your enter
prising house will find its interest in publishing,
from time to time, in the English language, such
i other standard works as will form the basis OF a
civil law library.
remain gentlemen, very resPeStf TyrI your
obedient servant, GEORGE EUSllS.

The object of the author in this learned produc-

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 a
natural and scientific method to render them more
ineligible, and their attainment more useful and

Me work thus possesses to the attention Of the Anne

of the States. whose legal institutions are derived

| These reasons have induced belief on the part
Of the publishers that modern edition Of this ceic-
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.

The readers Of the Herald will remember tho re-
cent Articles from the Republic, on the Cuba-Span-
ish question; and also extensive communication
from one Of your correspondents here, more than q
month ago, in reference to some diplomatic pro-
ceedngs on the same subject. II was stated that
correspondence had taken place between Mr.. Bull
wer and the French minister, on the Cuba question,
shortly after the invasion Of Lopez in reference to
the future protection Of the island and that in re-
ferrng the subject to Mr.. Webster, he declined to
have any thing to do with it, We presume that
that affair the settler to the proposed triple
alliance between Spain, France, and England, for
the protection Of Sonora Isabella Ia Cutolica, and
her sovereignty in that island of Cuba; for tn
French frisate, with its special agent, does not ap

ence of the alleged coalition. The thing Is most
likely flash in the pan. My Lord Palmerston

Lopez and company. We learn that this precious
document, In the absence of Mr.. Webster, was
turned over to Mr.. Crittenden, Secretary Of State

wings were anxious that the ants should make
half and ticket by placing upon it equal num-
Der of democrats and wings from those in nomina-
ton by both parties. This course was urged very
strongly; and the argument used was that this had
been the uniform method heretofore. The demo-
Gratis proper, having majority, refused to &C.
quiese and preferred following the footsteps ofthe
State convention, and adopt the democratic ticket
entire. Much confusion and excitement prevailed
nearly the whole day. The wiser ones. who wish
to keep up their organization, so as to retain an
excuse for not paying rent, saw that by adopting
the entire ticket of either party, their faction
would be broken up. This is what some of the
more cunning democrats deserved, as in the towns
where this malady mostly prevails, they boast of

Upon cool reflection of year or two they will find
it much less expensive, mu,h less annoying and

What we have Lost.

Had our Legislature made subscription to the
stock. authorized an endorsement of the bonds of
the Manchester Railroad, we have not the slightest
doubt that the Legislature of South Caroline would
have made liberal appropriation for the Cheraw
branch of fortyfve miles long the construction of
which would place Road in immediate cunnec-
ton with the rich and fertile lands of the Upper Pee
Dee, and almost double its prospects of advantage to
this place and profit to its stockholders In view Of
this state Of the case, think it would be policy to
make some present sacrifices in order to place the
speedy completion of the Manchester Road beyond
the possibility of doubt, prior to the next meeting
of the South Carolina Legislature After al, per-
haps it is better to seek help in the private energies
of those Immediately interested, than in the State
which seems not to care for us, as, unfortunately,
Wilmington is North Carolina and not Virginia
town. Perhaps if We could get annexed to South
Carolina it might be advantage. in the eyes of
