that tie Southern Quarterly RericU will

office, Messrs +. II. BRIrroN & Co. hav-

happy to an ounce to the public, that
they have secured the services Of the Rev.

ness Of Mr.. MORTIMER, tue former prop,e

cd it will be issued about March.
Why It is, that the Southern Quarter.

SNOW sLEET!! ICE!!!


Before our>eyes could once more be re-
lieved by sight Of mother earth, here
comes another snow storm on Saturday
last, advising us, in most pract cal man.
ncr, that winter still reigns in all bis
majesty and power. The weather has
since been (as was before) very cold. The
snow to-day is thawing by degrees. The
appearance of a sleigh in our streets the
early part of the week was quitc.a novel
ty in this latitude; we Judge SO from the
attention it attracted-ii or its fair accu :
pants-from tue number Of spectators.
Judge O'NEAL, in letter TO the Green.
vile Patriot d: Mountoineer, says it is
the coolest Winter he has experienced in
twenty-five years.

TIE LAW OF LIBEL.

"" have already stated that a case Of
libe! brought against the proprietors of the
Philadelphia Ledger had beon decided
tha; the defendants should p9y one dollar
and costs. We ealude to the matter aga in
for the purpose OF bringing prominently
before our readers the principles laid down
in the charge Of tue Judge to the jury
His honor said,
"Thc plaintiff is charged with having
driven his wife with violence from his
house, while sao was in an advanced state
Of pregnancy, and without even the poor
excuse which might arise from intoxica
ion. The oIIy real question und er these
circumstances is, not Whether this charge,
unexplained and unjnstitied, is libel, but
whether there is enough to explain and
justify it. One thing which meets us al
the threshold Of this inquiry is, The posi-
ton of The defendants as editors cf q news

wiHtout fear Of contradiction, is Mat He
editor Of Il pu5Gc journal may tell he

lous, the trnla will not protect those who
repeat it. This holds good of the editor
Of Newspapers we'll as Of all other per.
sons.for tie law will look to the substance
which is untrue, and not merely to the
form, and will consider original wrong as
