s. CantWell'S Justice.,,

We are indebted to the pu ubiisher, Mr.. Turner Of
this City, for copy of this work.
1t is "Swam's Justice-Revised" by Edward
Cantwel, Esq, LII. B., Counsellor at Law of this
City; and is intended " A practical Guide to the
laws Of the State, and the decisions of the Supreme
Court, defining the duties and jurisdiction of JUS
tices of the Peace out of Court under the Revised
Code, 1s54'55; together with full instructions and
numerous Forms and Precedents."
We have examined this work with some care
and we take pleasure in saying that Mr.. Cantwe,l
has per 'orned, in compiling and preparing it, i'm
portant and useful service to the Magistrates and
people of the State. Justices of the Peace will in
deed find it, not merely ''practical" but an al.
most indispensable =" Guide " in the performance OF
their responsible and so often unrequited duties
while members of the bar, and others, interested in
the law, will be aided in very manv instances by the
leases cited and the forms and precedents which
are given.

ANARCHY AND DEsPoTrsx IN CALrroRSIA.-At the
latest dates the Executive Committee Of San Fran
cisco still held sway, and was setting at defiance all
legal authority, both State and federal. Their
ton in the outset was very generally approved and
if they had dsbanded Immediately after having ex-
ecuted the murderer of King, with the understand
ing that they would meet again if deemed necessary,
their conduct would have worn a very different as
pect. Judge Terry, of the Supreme Court, IS now
in their custody, for having resisted and wounded
Of their number, who attempted to arrest per-
without authority in his presence; and the ru-
NOR is that treason to the State and rebellion
against the federal government have been deliberate
ly planned by the Committee and will be attempted
to be carried out. We give this rumor for what it
is worth. 1t is also stated that application has been
made to the President by the Governor Of California
for aid in putting down the Committee and restor-
ing the supremacy of law.

TIE CRoPs.-That the corn crop is ruined in this
region is painful but truthful reflection. The gar
dens literally burned up and the shade trees are
dying as if struck by q plague.-The drought has
been the most excessive both IN intensity and dura-
that has been experienced in many years, if indeed
it has ever been equaed. Nor is it confined to one
locality or one State. As far South as Alabama and
far North New York, the complaint is the same,
and the results alike deplorsble. Streams and mill
ponds dried up in all directions. and it is equally
difficult for man to procure meal or animals to get
water.
On Friday and Saturday We had light showers at
this place and on Saturday night, commencing be-
tween 10 and IL o'clock, we had a severe thunder
storm and the heaviest rain that has fallen for
eral months. We fear much of what good corn
there is has been injured by the Storm still the cop
ious rain that fell will more than compensate for any
injuries sustained by the winds. We hope to hear
that the rain OF Saturday night extended all over
the parched region. Colds. Tribune.
We have recently had refreshing rains in this
section, but not enough. The crops, however, have
considerably improved.

The Old Serpent in a New Skin.

We learn from the Richmond Enquirer that the
Know Nothings Of Virginia have again changed
their tactics and have organized in that State under
a new name, that of " THE american League" They
have full set of officers of the Grand League"
which is composed of delegates representing each
subo dinate League These subordinate Leagues
being established in all parts of the State-the
only test of membership being" Is he active un-
firing, and devoted to the cause?" County, city,
and town and ward Leagues are provided for; and
every member is to operate in secret to list voters,
raise funds and to act spy upon his neighbors.
Ali this is to be done to advance the election of Fill
more and Donelson, and thus secure the Offices to
these hungry and unscrupulous cormorants.
similar movement is no doubt Oh foot in this
State We soemniy warn all honest and uprigh,
citizens against it. 1t is the old serpent Of Know
Nothingism i'll new skim
The greatest curse which has ever fallen on this
country is ABOLFrIONISM and the next greatest
is KNOW NOTHINGISM.
Let every Democrat and every honest man be
upon the alert. The enemies of the people and the
betrayers and violators of the Constitution of the
country, are never idle. The price OF liberty is
eternal vgilence.'

Of the Democratic members elect of Wake County

Editor of the Register and to the seventeen Editors
of the Signal, for their indefatigable exertions in

statesman-like and most impressive effort in this
City, on the night preceding the election. These
things have told well for the Democratic cause and
we respectfully bespeak in advance other and fur

gretted that Mr.. Rayner could not remain, and de-
vote portion of his valuable time to Wake. If
