EDITORIAL NOTES. DIRECT TRADE.-We call the attention of our readers to the circular of 'the direct trade and European agency" established at New Orleans. It will be found under our advertisement head. We will take occasion at an early date to refer to this subject again. SOUTHERN EDUCATION.-See the notice of the University of Mississippi, prepared by a contributor to the Re NOTICES OF The Newcomes: Memoirs of a most respectable Family; edited by Arthur Pendennis, esq.; in 2 vols. The Harpers, New York, have published the work complete, in very handsome style, in one volume. There are more than a hundred capital illustrations. Every body will order and read the work, now that it can be had complete. We know of no richer repast that could be served up. A Visit to India, China, and Japan, in the year 1853; by Bayard Taylor: New York, G. P. Putnam & Co., 1855. Bayard Taylor is one of our most popular and agreeable authors, and what he writes is always sought with avidity. The travels embraced in this volume were in India, China, Japan, the LooChoo and Bonin Islands, &c., &c. Clouds and Sunshine: Art, a Dramatic Tale; by Charles Reade: Boston, Ticknor & Fields, 1855.

The south should sustain her own institutions, has ever been our text. QUARTERLY LAW JOURNAL.-J. W. Randolph, of Richmond, Virginia, issues a prospectus for such a work, which appears among our advertisements. It is an important southern enterprise. BOOKS, ETC. The work is issued by Ticknor & Co., Boston. Stray Leaves from the Book of Nature; by Schele de Vere, of the University of Virginia: New York, G. P. Putnam. A southern work is too rare not to be prized. It is full of beauties of every sort. Blackwood's Magazine for September. Leonard Scott & Co., New York. Scenes in the Practice of a New York Surgeon, by Edward H. Dixon, M. D., editor of the Scalpel, with eight illustrations by Darley: New York, De Witt & Davenport, 1855. Doctor Dixon, long known as an eminent surgeon, standing at the very head of the profession, and celebrated likewise as the author of several popular works on health, physiology, &c., has found time, amid his various and laborious duties, to produce a book, many scenes in which are pronounced fully equal, if not superior to Dr. Warren's celebrated "Diary of a London Physician," with this additiona! interest, that they are actual occurrences in every-day life, happening in our very midst-not matters of fancy. In addition to the Scenes, are several articles on health, written in a popular manner, each of which is alone worth the price of the book. And we particularly recommend to mothers the Treatises on Scarlet Fever, Hooping Cough, Croup, Consumption, &c., as presenting to all, in a clear and lucid manner, the proper treatment of these common dis eases. Besides its other excellencies, the book is most beautifully executed; the illustrations by Darley are magnificent, and the publishers have spared no expense on the letterpress and binding.

A QUARTERLY LAW JOURNAL! EDITED BY A MEMBER OF THE RICHMOND BAR. CONTRIBUTORS.--WM. GREEN, of Culpepper; Prof. J. B. MINOR, University of Virginia; A. H. SANDS, author of "History of Suit in Equity;" and other professional gentlemen. The undersigned proposes to commence on the 1st of January the publication of a Law Journal. The want of such a work, containing material of a peculiar interest to the Bar of Virginia and of other States, has been long felt and frequently expressed. The undersigned, therefore, believing that such a periodical would be not only important and useful, but would meet with a ready support from the bar, has undertaken to supply the desideratum. The Bar of Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts have, for some few years past, supported the publication of such journals. Why should not the barristers of Virginia and the South have theirs? A journal which they may call their own, and in the pages of which they will find law more peculiarly affecting their actual daily practice. As this journal will circulate in all parts of the United States, it will be an important and valuable mode of advertising. Cards inserted 12 months for $5, longer advertisements in proportion. The work will be published QUARTERLY, on good white paper, each number containing over 125 pages, 8vo. All who are disposed to favor this enterprise will please forward their names immediately.

Winer's Vermifuge has now stood the test of several years, and being proved superior to any and all preparations for similar purposes; it is as certain to expel worms where they exist, as that two and two makes four. There is not the shadow of a doubt about it. It cannot fail. This may appear strong lang age; but it is not stronger than we are warranted in using, and than facts will prove. No one who has once used it will use any other when it can be obtained. Many have waited several weeks when the agent has been out until he could procure a new supply. And why? Because they had confidence in it and knew that it would answer the purpose for which it was designed. Thousands of certificates could be published, if it were necessary, to prove the satements; but a single trial will prove its superiority more conclusive than the strongest assertions or statements that could be written. Try it. Be particular and remember the name, "Winer's Canadian Vermifuge." This is the only article that can be depended upon. Remember this.
