sss~ Of all the weddings that New York has
seen this century, the one that off on the 18th
Of July excited the greatest interest. The bride
groom is Spanish gentleman of the ripe age of
60 years, small and light of frame, but heavy in
gold. The bride is young damsel, poor in purse,
but of marvellous personal attraction. She is quite
young, of queenly form, and of majestic elegance
that commands the attention of ali who pass her in
the street The stories told of the preparations,
dresses and bridal presents are astounding. Her
bridal veil cost one thousand dollars and the bri-
dial jewels one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
Tiffany made the bridal wreath. None of your
hot-house flowers adorned the brow of the young
bride; but the wreath of gold, and adorned
with jewels of great value. The staid bridegroom
is Catholic, and the imposing ceremonies of his
church added much to the magni6cence of the
wedding.

published letters from Hon. VIM. c. Rives, of
Virginia, and Hon. Robert c. Winthrop, of Boston,
in reply to a letter from him requesting their views
upon resolution under consideration in the
committee, deprecating the further agitation OF
the slavery question. Both gentlemen are of the
opinion that there is existing issue concerning
slavery between the North and South justifying a
sectional agitation and that any further excitement
on the subject in either section to the exclusion of
the great practical interests Of the country, would
be suicidal and absurd.

THE TAX ON sPIRITUoUs LIQUORS


We are indebted to the courtesy of Mr Treasurer
Courts, says the Raleigh Standard, for the following
opinion Of Mr. Attorney General jenkins, the
law-advising officer of the State, the subject Of
the taxes imposed on spirituous liquors:
RALEIGH, n c., July Sth 1859

My DEAR SIR: Yours of the 18th instant asking
my opinion as to the construction of the 18th
to sprituous liquors. &C., has just been received,
and | hasten to reply.
am opinion that all persons who are taxable
under the said 18th Section, will have to list the
amount of their purchase from the first day of July,
1858, to the first day of July 1859, in the same
manner and at the same time that they list lands,
polls, and other subjects required to be lste0 to
the Magistrates in Schedule A-the tax to be
collected when the taxes upon the other subjects
listed at the same time are collected. 1t may be
said that the State will lose the tax upon liquors
for year by this construction; but this if true,
could not alter the law. But this view arises, l
think, from misrepresentation, for under the
Revenue Law Of 1856 and 81 all liquor dealers
have paid taxes upon their purchases from the LIST
ofJuly, 1857, to LIST fully, 1858, and now they
are required to list their purchases from the first
of July, 1858, to the first of July, 1850. Instead
of listing to the Sheriff required in the Revenue
Law of 1856 and 81, and paying the tax when
they list they required to list to the Magistrates
and the time Of payment is postponed for II
months.-Ihe amount they will have to pay must
be governed by the late Revenue Law and not by
the law of lS56and 81 know there are different
opinions entertained in regard to this matter, but
after careful examination of the subject, | have
given you the conclusion to which | have arrived
Very respectfully,

LocUsTs.-Next year, 1860, as certainly as the
year rolls around, will the country be infected
with locusts.-Whether they are of the family of
locusts which prevailed in Egypt we do not know,
nor does it matter. There is one thing certain;
they will appear as general thing in the United
States in 1860.
1t is too late to ask how this return can he spoken
of with so much certainty, if we will only remember
the pecuIarites of this strange adventurous insect
1t is not prophecy which induces the conclusion
made, but judgment founded on the past How
it is that the egg of the locust remains in the
ground for seventeen years before it is Matched,
VIC are not naturalist enough to divine. But so it
is and all who live will hear the tumultuous cry of
the Seventeen Year locust next year. There was
great falling off in their numbers in 1913, owing
no doubt to the increased clearing of wood lands,
and as no abatement in these clearings has existed
since their last appearance but rather an increase
the falling off will be more noticeable But
wherever any original growth is to be found there
will also be found the Seventeen Year Locust
