A NEW BOOK,

n.
Mr. EDIroR writer IN the Standard, of the
18th ul., suggests the wish that His Honor Judge
Battle would prepare for the press complete digest
OF the North Carolina Supreme Court cases, and
this suggestion is commended by correspondent
of the Register.
Any member of the profession whose pleasure it
NAV have been to have practiced under the ruling
of Judge Battle, while upon the Bench Of our Su-
perior Court, could not fail notice his remarkable
familiarity with the decisions of the Supreme Court
and the force and clearDesS with which he enuncated
their principles. Soaso whoreads thepresent de-
cislons of that tribunal readily perceives from his
opinions abundant evidence of his aptitude in re-
ferTing to adjudicated cases.
His 1st Dew and Bat. with Notes references
and corrections" has been repeatedly commended
by the press and the profession and is but another
evidence of his peculiar fitness for the position he
has so long, honorably and ably held
While | admit, therefore, the propriety of the
suggestion made by the correspondent of the Stan
ddrd and feel that the digest prepared would be of
great service to the professon-yet as we already
have good dgests by Iredell and Jones' sufficient to
answer the purpose for which they were designed,
another work has suggested itself to my mind for
the execution of which regard Judge Battle pre-
eminently fitted. | mean 1.-The North Carolina
leading cases." somewhat after the plan of the well
known "Smith's leading cpses"
work of this character could not fail coming
from the hands of so excellent compiler and an
notater Judge Battle to be of great service to the
profession at large and would undoubtedly become,
with the circuit lawyer an indispensable Uade
Or work on actions at law latter the
style of Brown on actions at Law, ~ with special
reference to rth-Carolina law decisions and legal
practice, would accomplish much for the profession
and would prove to be to them most acceptable

May we not hope that one Of these suggestions
will be adopted, and that His Honor may find It

would regard it as favor) the benefit of his legal
knowledge and experience. II.

SPANISH REJOICING OVER AMERICAN TROUBLES
The Paris Constitutional publishes the following
in letter from Its Madrid correspondent:
1.-THE great drama now in progress IN the United
States of America is the text of all conversations in
the political circles of Madrid The opinion is that
two countries, England and Spain, are specially in
terested in the revolution in the Western Republic
In a commercial point of view, American events will
affect the interests of England more than those of
any other nation; but IN a political point of view,
Spain is the country which radical change in the
social and political conditions of the American peo-
pie, and the eventualities flowing out from such
change, concern the most The Anglo Saxon race
settled upon the soil discovered by Columbus and
conquered by Spanards increases in threatening
ratio, and holds Damoces' sword not only over the
West Indies, but also all the American coun-
tries where the language of Ceramics is spoken.
The troubles now threatening the existence of the
American Union not subjects Of grief to the peo-
pie of Spain. Her political integrity. her interest of
race, of religion, and her policy require that stop
be put to the progress of this swelling population
if it were proper to be pleased with other peoples
misfortunes Spain would perhaps, have reason to
rejoice at what is happening the other side of the
ocean. Meanwhile the Spanish Government intends
to watch closely the Spanish provinces of America,
not that they exposed to any risk whatever,
but because Government must look to future events
even when they are still far distant"

The INAUGURAL ADDRESS. We do not know that
we need to say much about this eagerly expectod
document since we submit it entire to the tbouobt
full consideration of our readers There is much in
Mr.. Lncoln's words, particularly in regard to non.
interference with slavery in the States and the de-.
livery of fugitive slaves, 10 assure the South that
need anticipate no violation of its rights from his
administration. We trust that he will act out his
words. AS to the seeded States he takes precisely
the positions of Mr.. Buchanan in his message to
Congress at the commencement of the late session
Some persons saw " coercion in that Message and
see it in this Inaugural We did not see it in the
message, nor has any one seen it attempted Wedo
not see it in the Inaugural nor do we expect to see
it attempted. As the late President said, and the
new one says, it is the Presidents sworn duty to
execute the laws unless the requisite means are with
held. Congress has withheld them, and the leading
Republican Chairman of the Military Committed
who introduced the (defeated) bill to grant them
what was called the Force Bill'-distnctly declar
ed his readiness to acknowledge the independence
of the seeded State rather than fight them Wedo
not think that there be possibility of resort
to "coercion;" it would be the maddest of follies
There are some very remarkable passage in the
Address, which we need not specially remark upon,
for of course they will attract the attention of every
reader-Fdy Observer.

From CHARLEsToN-BURDENs OF THE TARIFF
The Charleston correspondent of the Providence
Journal writing under date of Feb 23d, says:
In this mornings papers there appeared the
notice of the Collector of the port, Informing US
that the Southern Congress had adopted the
laws of the United States they existed previous
to the fourth of November, 1860 and that the same
will continue in force against all nations foreign to
this Confederacy, except Texas.
This is about the worst thing that could be done
for US, and people made very sensible of it. and
as the law goes into effect Immediately it created
quite panic among those merchants who had or
dered goods from northern ports. Most of them
were obliged to counternand their orders because
of the tnpossibility of getting sufficient specie to
pay the duties. As our banks do not pay any spe-
Gle, it is very scarce is worth ten per cent, and it
is considered friendly act to part with it at that
enormous price ..
When we come to consider the high duty to
which breadstutfs arc subjected, our dependence on
the northern States for the supply and the enor-
nous amount which is consumed in the Southern
States it is very evident that if this tariff is contin-
ued long, our supply will soon be exhausted and
the poorer classes living in the cities must suffer

Tic old MANS Dream.
BT JEANNE.

BIT JEANNE.
The old man sits in his oaken chair
BY the ingle-sde to-day, ~
With his wrinkled brow and frame so weak,
And his palsied limbs and his shrunken cneeA'
And his locks so thin and grey.
And he gazes long at the rudy blaze
As It curls, ard fickers and giowsr
The forms that the years, in their rapid Hight
Have borne to the death repose.
There cometh the form Of q maiden fair,
With laughing nlischevous eyes
He hath never beheld such another pair,
And the love-light of that he seeth there
Seem borrowed from the skies
And she wreathed a smile with her ruby lips,
Such as neer another bath done,
And she eometh again Us she dld oI yore'
And bendeth low er his hOrehead boar,
As she did in the years long gone.
And she twineth her arms with loving embrace
Around his neck, and she presseth a kiss,
With her glowing lips on his aged brow,
And the shriveled old man is young again now,
Living over rich seasons Of bliss.
And then there eoneth tiny form
And shareth his kind caress,
And his heart yearneth over the tiny one,
As a father yearneth over his first-born son,
And prsyeth kind heaven to bless.
And it changeth again, and prattling boy
Is nestled upon his knee
And other wee forms around him now,
And pride sits enthroned on the old mans brow,
As he lists to their childish giee.
The beautiful maiden with laughing eyes,
Is the wife of his early years,
And that tiny one was the eldest child.
And that prattIing group that his heart beguiled
Are the babes Of his prayers aud tears.
But tn. fire burns low, and dimness steals,
Ger the old mans vision now,
And there cOmeth The shape of the bier and pail,
Anu his fondIy laved wife, and his children all
Are shruuded beneath it now.
The fame dies out, and stihed grnan
Bursts forth from the old mans heart,
The vision hathfed-hes awake again
A lonely old man, with anguish and pain,
Awaiting his call TO depart.

The Position ola Soldier.

He should stand with his heels close
together on the same line, the feet form
ing something less than right angle, toes
turned out. The knees straight, without
restraint or stiffness; the body erect on
the hips, the upper part inclining forward,
the shoulders square, not one up and the
other down arms hanging easy, little fin
ger on stripe of pantaloons. The elbows
should be held close, but not stiffly to the
body The face should be well to the
front, the chin drawn in, but not con-
strained, the eyes looking to point of
ground at distance of eighteen paces.-
Once get man in this position, cause
him to throw out his left foot we'll and
firmly in marching, the pointed down
ball of the foot touches the ground, and
in four hours you have him IN the move
of a soldier which he will never forget
Keep him at this without carrying arms,
and mark time him.
Another point for the recruit, rarely
given, and essential at all times, particu-
ularly now that the warm weather is upon
us, is to have your hair cut close to your
head and your beard well trimmed. Ev-
cry man should have his beard and hair
cut as much like the other as possible
Men should be uniform in every appear
ance, and should be sized in rank.
The men once in the position given
above, the movements can easily be ac-
complished, if done slowly at first, and
then in the proper time after.
The most important drill now is the
| loading and firing. Let that be done in
squads, and see that the rear rank men
attend.
| One thing we do not want, and that is
'fancy drill" Avoid it. The present
Napoleon, one of the best artilleryso ldiers
known, says :"First give the recruit the
position of a soldier, next give him the
why and the wherefore of this position,
and then command clearly and concisely,
but avoid superhuity."
