This town has on tue Kansas side OF the riv-

lands in the Territory, while or the opposite

of itself sufficient to sustain town ef large

which the Delaware nation Of Indisns can pro-
cure their supplies. Delaware is the nearest
and most accessible point ct which the country

THE QUARTERLY Law JOURNAL.

The Lexington Star gives in its editorial columns
the following notice OF the above mentioned Pc
riodicul The Star is edited by legal gentleman,
who, therefore. can speak with confidence to the
merits Of the journal:
We hsva received the January number Of this
valuable PERIODICAL published by j. W. Randolph,
and edited by A. B. Guigo6, Esq AS hume pro.
ducton aud ono 0s sterling meiit, We commend
cordially 20 tho mombers OF the legal profession IN
this community. 1t is more important, It seems 10
s to LAWYERS than any other class. To have Journal
desigued for their espccn benefit by which they can
keep up with the very latest ircl,ons on doubtful
and important legal Questions. Every lawyer snouid
take at least good law JOURNAL aid Certainly 'r'
yinia lawyers should give preference to that one
which not only iusructs them on tho progress of Jaw
abroad, but pays especial attention to decisions at
home. Tie present number contains reports OF va
rous odses decided in the United States Court for the
Eastern district OF Virginia, in the Wythe, Floyd and
oiher Circuit Courts, IN come ot the STATE Dstr'ct
Cop,s and in the Court of Appeals besides Gecisions
in tho North Carolina Courts. One OF the latter
give. the opinions of the Judges OF the Supreme
Court OF that Stale deciding that n.ster Is com'
petent witness for his slave upon trial for felony.
and incidentally furnishes avery valuable review OF
the progress of the Low of evidence upon tns rule e1
a!udny Testimony on account OF interest. There are
several docss upon important points OF the law OF
evidence in Virginia. and one OF them upon the law
of tiectment, which, from our recollection OF slm
lar case tried here last Spring, would have been of
essential service the counsel for the defence though
that case terminated in the same way with the one
reported An extremely me.itorious feature OF this
Journal is the republication uf the Report OF the Re.
yisors of our nsw Code. The copies of that Report
arc very knitted in number ani being of great as
sistance frequently in eliminating the exact principle
on which the statute is founded It is much sought at.
ter This alone worth the subscription price TO any
Virginia LAWYER. The journal presents further q
portion of a dges;ed index to Graltan's Reports.
which also forms regular part Of the contents of
each number, and re-eral recent English decisions
Ne un.quivocally and heartily recommend it to the
support Of the Lexington bar and OF the members OF
Judpe Brokenbrough's law class who are about to
snt.r upon the practice OF their profession"

On the occasion of the las! annual appropriation, the
Virginia Rifles, composed principally if not entirely,
OF persons Of foreign birth, prescribed and Gu;
off from all MD heretofore derived from the city trea

multiplied, and furnished another illustration Of the
fact tba, individuals should rely Themselves, on
their own excrtions for success, rather than upon
government or corporations.
At night the Blues had ball At the American, and
the Young Guard had another in the Hall over the
First Market We learn that both were we'll attended
and highly enjoyed, and that every thing was gotten
up and executed in style very creditable to oil
concerned.
The Henrico Troop, Numbering about forty)
under command Of Col. J. l.. Davis, were also in
line with city volunteers, and contributed much
towards the imposing display on the occasion.

CIV. PIrRcy's C.sIyET.-In In few weeks the pre-
sent administration will he brought 10 close, and 1t
il presurnnbe that 10 change will be- made in the
cabinet during that time. If not, General Pierce's
cabinet viii have remained in Office for the whols
term of four years, withou: any change In either of
the deuartments Every member now holds the po.
si,ion assigned to him The day the President assumed
the reins Of government IL Is 'he nfsl iDstance oi
the kind in the history vf our government. General
Washington cabinet remained entire through his
6rst term with the exception OF single change III
the Post Office department. and John quincy Adams
mad. only one change during his term, having had
two Secretaries OF War; Washington Union.
The honorable fact here announced, is full refuta
ton Of the o.repeaied assertions Of the opposition
pres,, that President Pierce filed his Cabinet with
discordant elements, with no more affinity for each
other than oil has for water. 1t has been said a
thousand times during the last four years. that there
WAS no uuty of sentiment between the various dis.
,inguished gentlemen composing the Cabinet How
has 1t happened then, We pray to know, that they
have stuck together during the whole term I Could
this have beep had there been that want of harmony
among them which the opposition has prated about
40 loudly7 Clearly mott and we are forced to the
conclusion that all the criticism OF this Cabinet was
CANNON, intended TO deluds and dupe the people OF
the country. The members OF the Cabinet were uni.
led in the begionng, they have been united through
op,. and their concerted efforts have contributed
greatly TO the promotion of the prosperity Of the coun
,rv ., home and it's glory abroad. They will retire
with the respect and esteem OF their countrymen
whom they have 80 faithfully served.
