Kyan. nov 20? The New Code of Procedure. To the Editor of (he Orangvlnrg Neics. Sir : As the adoption of the Code of j Procedure recently submitted to the Ah sclubty, seems to be beyond a peradven turo, u low brief outlines of a practice so ' radically different from that which at present obtains, m:iy uot bo entirely un interesting to my brother members of the profession?probably not even to the public at lurgo, whose sight* will, by the now system, be rendered capable, in many und important respects, of more prompt, certain and effectual enforce ment. All distinct! ons between Ootumbn law and Equity, arc abolished, save us to the relief asked, and a slight difference In the form of the summons; anil all reme dies are to be Bought either by action or by special provccjtling. All actions are commenced by the ser vice of a summons; which is in all cases substantially the same. containing, alter the name of the court ami the title of the cause, simply a notice to the defendant, to answer the complaint, and to serve a copy thereof on the plaintiff's attorney, at his office, within twenty days slier the service of the summons] and that if he fail SO to do the plaintiff will either take judgment against him for the amount claimed, or apply to the court for the re lief demanded, as the cause uf action may require ; the former in case the ac tion is one on contract for the recovery of money only, the latter in all other eases. The' summons is subscribed by the plaintiff's attorney, ami requires no tettr.. The complaint, which corresponds to the present declaration, may be either served on the defendant, ur filed in the ? 'Hue of the Clerk of the Court, and cither at tho time of serving the sum mons, or within s;ii time thereafter us -*4r?**?ttttKta<.<. HH^u. tier service ov ap pdsrar.cr, ;.c;;;;.;;d .:y :; ;:; proper form. The plaintiff Iks twenty days after service of the answer (which corresponds to the ptevent fUca) within which to re ply, and thenceforth the pleadings arc designated as tit c immoii law. But as tho allegations in the reply arc to bo deemed traversed by the defendant, with out rejoinder, further pleading.is gene rally unnecessary to bring the panic.* to issue, After issue, joined, the date of which is that of the service of the last pleading, the cause may bo placed upon the calendar (or issue ?locket) by cither party, und be brought on lor trial upon it notice of trial served fourteen days be fore the first day of the term. The fine spun Cobwcbj <d' special plead ing are swept from their accustomed corners, and pleading, as a science, is no more; fortlto complaint,answer,and other pleadings are freed from all (he old tech nical rules. They must coutuin a '"plain, ami concise statement of the facts e n.-ti tutiuu a cause, of action," or defence? and nothing more. Demurrer lies where the facts are insufficient, OS Well as lor other reasons appearing on the lace of the pleading; a motion to strike out is tbe proper course where the allegations are uuueccesary or impouliuont. Alle ?.?*J comptaiut u d controverted My I" t answer?or in tho answer not o >u trorcrted by the reply?arc admitted. If the defendant fails to appear within tin twenty days, the plaintiff is entitled to judgment, which in many cases may be entered immediately, the ami.tint of damages being uduiittcd hy the tumult ; in others, after assessment of dam ages by the ( lutk, or Sheriff's Jury, qr upon proper application to the Court, If the plaintiff fails to reply within the limit d time the defendant is entitled to such judgtueut as ?? bis right, upon su?"h facts in the answer as required a reply ; e. g. in the case of a counter-claim ex ceeding the piaintiff'r claim, judgment for the amount of such excess, etc., etc. The provisions of the New York Code (of which. I am informed, the one now before the Assembly Is, with a few local (ilteratioi)s, an exact eopy) as to arrest nud hail, have ?Ire dy,become'law in this Yt?te, in their principal features, by vir tue of th6 act of September, 18(58, w hich provides, also, that thenceforth there shall be no arrest it) civil actions nave as friert in provided. l>ut as this act i& framed under the new system, while the practice in in nil other respects as }ct. unaltered, it w mid s-ein that air?ttempt tn e.ur\ out its provision.-, IUlgl/1, ?S tho law now stands, give rise lo soiuu troublesome question*. Any such difficulty, how - u -_*. - j-?.?......? . . ?' CVCI, Win uv uw.ucu, uuu iuc picsuui '?? congruity obviated, by the jSudptiou of the Code in tho proposed florin*' ? Tiie remedies afforded by ttie common law actions of trespass, rcplovin, trover and detinuo,-for tho recovery ol personal property or its value, are all 'Obtainable under tlx; new system in a sin^lo form of action and by a collateral '-proceeding' in that action, "to recover the possession of personal property." Tho^cdmpl.iint alleges the cause of action, nigl, If dam ages' only are desired, the case takes its usual course, but if the plaintiff seeks u specific recovery of tlie chattel, the Shoriff* upon being served with a sufli eient bond or undertaking, anl' with the proper affidavit on the part offthe pi lin tiH, endorsed with n requisition to that effect by the plaintiff's attorney, is re quired to taku the properly fmpi the de- , feiidaut and deliver it to tilt plaintiff, and the defendant may d.niaotf a re-de livery to iihiisell b;- <iiviug ^sufficient undertaking, to the effect thaLif the rc turu be finally adjudged to lu plaintiff, he will so return it. and lhattlje plaintiff shall he paid such .sum as mim for any cause, bo recovered ::gainst thf^dcfcmlant in the actiou. The tit I'endauMLj also ur restahh: lor wrongfully or unjuray taking, detaining, injtniug ..r cloignifqg, the pro perty which is the m bject of -the action.

'I he provisions ol the Code as t i At* taehiuciits afford a remedy, as well as a preventive, in many instance* where the plaintiff is at present rciuodiloss, and. for an ngiieultur.il community, are, perhaps, quite as comprehensive as is necessary. They liavo given very general satisfac lion to the profession in New York, al though, in some canes, proving rather too strict and technical lor the sudden ami urgent necessities of a great commercial oily. tSpi'cittl i>y<*'/?'?(////.?/>? are all proceedings oihorlhaii actions?such as habeas corp us, rertiorari, proei i dings for the Sale ol in hint's estates, f/i lunuttcOj etc .?and are governed by the rules of the common law, or of the statutes to which they owe their origin, or of either as controlled or modified by the other.

Nk\V YottK January 1. Judging by the preparations made for it, the ball sotison, which will succeed the holidays, will be undsally brilliant. The toilettes already completed surpass in rich noes, variety and uniqueness', those of any season withiu the memory of society. Satins of the shiniest surfaces uud tho richest glow arc the distin guishing feature. Poucock-colored Boitin, train cut in points around the bottom, each point embroidered in a perfect semblance to a ]>( aeock's-tail feather, is a dress just completed lor an elderly lady. The lady's married daughter will appear du ri?g the winter in sevor.il floral cost nines, the dresses always short, as is deemed appropriate lor dancing. One of these costumes is culled, ??The Ulush Rose" and is a succession oi short salin roso colored skirts fulling over eaeh other like the pota's of the flower alter which it is named. Another is the l?glantiuc or yellow sweet-briar rose?the petals lew. No underskirts arc to be worn with this, as the "sfiinjnti/" look is vcr> much sought alter Generally, crape or tulle or some kiyd uf transparent tissue is worn over the satin, and S?ltens its brilliancy and gives it richness too, by giving it depth.

Thai tho South *il! ultimately absorb a large purl of the cotton manufacturing interests is conclusively proved by the present state of affairs. Of the mills of New 1'higlutid many of them are now closed ; others arc runuiug ou short time; w. lie not one single corporation iu the North, so far as we know, is working up to its maximum pioductiou. The cause of this semi-prostration in one of our moSl important interests is plainly to be seen iu the diminished wants of tho people at high \ tiers, the falling off iu the amount of exports, und, consequently, the little, or iu most eases, no margin alli.nl- d in selling the goods at current rates. The cost ?d* producing a yard of cotton standard sheoting in Massachusetts ami iu Georgia exhibits a difference of fully twenty per cent, und over. This is accounted l'<-r in various ways; the siight ditto, encc in cost of the raw ma tcrial; the freight)Dg expenses ^whieh, of; course, in Georgia, a.e done away with ; the less expense of labor iu handling * A'o., are a few of tho most important. The result is that every Northern manu facturer is complaining that proc.nl rotes do not even afford interest on the capital invested in property, machinery, &e. Ueddes, the Northern water powers are all absorbed by monied corporations, which, of course, to benujl their xtock li doers, are forced to lovy and collect, as much as possible for rents, while the dense population of the North renders every foot of ground adjucout to these water-courses valuable for dwelling and business purposes. Thus the mill owner is dbligcd to contract his lintit.s for manipulating tho articles fabricated to the simtllest space possible, or else.absorb more space at a comparatively high price, which the prospective prolits do not warrant. In the South these water powers are altogether more numerous and, from the extent of the majority of them, capable of exerting more power than those of the North, while the prices at which eligible lands and sites arc now offered, compared to those of the North, are decidedly low. l?nglhlh capitalists arc therefore avfakiug tu tho excellency of the field thus offered for in vest incut, and many of tlmir agents are at this moment iu the .South p'r6spe?ttnjrj while iheir numbers arc nugi ioHt< 1 by almost every steamer. The ? (J dtou Supply Association" of London, Kiiglaud. came to the conclu.-ion this summer that India's proddction of the staple had reached iis maximum, unless efforts were made to itr'rprovo the cutdiiion .-f the land. "In that peninsula < India > there was an abundant Gold, for cultivation, and a cheap labor market. Bo for q the agricultural condition of India would roach the dcsiieu position great improve j nun's wcro necessary. Those improve I incuts, considering t'.io vast area of tho [country, und the want of means off am j muuicetian, v.mld not be ^????4.iff) private enterprise alone, TKe govern ment was paternal, and to it they must look for assistance." Rest unions were adopted fYctitiduing the government for some assistance, which,so iar\ have been of lilt le avail. The Htm SUecesi of their projects, and tho satisfactory accounts recuived iu tr> the condition o! the South, turned their attention to this new field of investment open to them, where private enterprises could bo uioit effectually and successfully employed. 'J ho con* sequence was tho despatching of an agent i" cnquiio into and report full ! particulars regarding the productiuu and .0 no:, inr : of cotton in the Southern' States. The gout I man (tiling this p-si tioii has arrived here, .bus visited the South, and is probably ere this on his way back to report his ex per h uces,which ivo are rather anxious to know, as pend ing this a< lion of tho ass iciutinn a lum ber of Knglish capitalists stand ready to pour their Wealth into the South, which must largely contribute to its i n-pciity and advancement.
