The LAW OF THE STREET.-A suit of impor-
lance TO all foot passengers on the streets OF
our cities, and 10 the drivers Of all vehicles,
was decided on Friday last, n q general
term of the Superior Court, New York city.
The action was brought by Ann Baxter against
the Second Avenue Railroad Company. This
lady was crossing the road, when her foot
tripped on the rail of one track, which threw
her on TO another, where u car ran over her and
injured her very severely. Judge Mcneil took
occasion, in delivering his opinion, to lay
down the law to be-that the right to travel
on Il street or highway is common TO all foot
passengers have the right 10 walk upon them !:
and as a matter of law, sit is rs much the
duty of the vehicle to keep out of the way OF
the foot passenger as ii is for the latter to
escape being run over by the former" This
explanation of the law-although it has always
been 4 law-should be widely circulated among
the people.-Leigef.

Petrol EUM IN THE SoUTH.-We are :" neither
Il prophet nor the son of 4 prophet" but we
venture the prediction that, within six or =
dozen months, important discoveries south OF
Mason and DiXon's will be made in this new
indispensable article of merchandise. There Is
every reason 10 believe that success Will follow
the efforts being made, in 4 slight degree, TO
develop the oil resources Of the Southern
States, and hardly Il plausible reason why 1t
should not hr so. Already proof has been FUR
nishcd to satisfy every reasonable mind that
the oil resources of parts of Mississippi and
Alabama are extensive, and all that Is needed
10 turn them into profit are energy and capital.
DR.. Spillman-prObahly one OF the first geolo-
gists in the Country-haS been prospecting for
oil beds in Northern Alabama, and is greatly
sanglinc of the result of his laborS.
We are told, reliably, that several barrels OF
the petroleum have been taken from location
near CORTLAND, Alabama and that the iur-
lher sinking of the well was discontinued by
reason of the spot being inaccessible TO rail-
road facilities. We understand also that the
Oil and Mining Company organized III TINS
city have leased several thousand acres OF
land where the indications for oil were Halter
ing. There is no personal interest 10 plaS us
in our expression of the sentiment more IMAM
that which every man feels for the prosperity
of his c~ountry-that we wish this company
God-specd with all our heart. ANY man or
set of men are, in some sense, benetactors 10
their fellows who run risks and succeed IN
bringing out the riches and capabilities OF
their country. Self interest may be the lncen-
tive that brings into national profit the I'M
portant disco veries but if the ends are Wor-
thy the means and motive n thousand times,
the inventor and explorer must be regarded rs
benefactors.
We have heard men ridiculing the idea OF
''striking oil" in the South as something I'm.
practicable-as an excellent way OF getting ria
of our surplus funds. While water seeks It's
level, or magnet attracts steel, will tagging 10,
gyism discourage and envy the enterprise and
risk and noble energy OF Il progressive spirit

PETROLEUM NEAR LYNCHBrRG.-From develop
ments appearing daily in this vicinity it is
becoming more and more probable that TINS
rich product will be found in large quantities
throughout the region of country around
Lynchburg. indications" are being found
in many directions, and they are regarded rs
so many combinations of the probable sue
cess OF the oil company recently organized
here.
We learn that Mr.. William G. Rucker, who
lives in Amherst county, within two or three
miles of this city, a short time since discovered
evidences of the presence OF olldeposits on ms
farm. He procured the attendance of compe-
tent and experienced persons, who examined
the indications and pronounced them equal
to those found in the famous oil regions OF
PENNSYLVANIA. Mr.. Rucker is preparing 10
organize n company for the purpose OF boring
for petroleum on his place, and with every
prospect of rich success.
Tn effect of these discoveries upon the
future of Lynchburg will be incalculaole.
We earnestly wish that the most sanguihe
hopes of the explorers may be fulfilled
