No other American has made himself so famll-

interest in himself as the Doctor has by his

WISCONSIN TAXES.

The Supreme Court of Wisconsin re-
Gently decided the taxes of that State il
legal from 1854 to 1860 on account of
inequality of assessment, railroads lav-
ing been exempted from the general tax.
The legislature is trying to remedy the
evil. The Milwaukee Sentinel of the
Goth says
"Mr. Palmer's report in the Assembly,,
referring to the late decision Of the SUI
premo Court in its effect on taxes, seems
to be confined to consideration of tie
effect OF the decision OH the law of 1860,
which exempted railroads and licensed
them-the conclusion being that those
laws are valid, and the taxes levied un-
der them all right. Mills, from the same
committee, made separate report, but
agreeing in conclusion. He said if the
law licensing railroads was unconstitu-
tional, the law eSemptiag them was GER
tainly not, SO the taxes generally could
not be affected. A sound conclusion it
would seem. The taxes, however, from
1854 to 1860, seem TO be in bad way.

Reports of Judiciary Commit
tee on the Tax Decision.

Two Reports have been made by the
Assembly Judiciary Committee, relative
to the late tax Decision. One, the ma
jority report, by Hon. Fl. L. Palmer,
giving the opinion that the Supreme
Court did not decide that the statutes
since 1860 have been such that 10 legal
tax could be levied, and that the com.
mittee did not feel authorized to assume
that the Court would decide to that effect,
and that therefore it would be incxpcdl-
emit to prevent or suspend the advertise
ment and sale of delinquent lands re
turned for on-pavment of taxes for the
wear 1861. Mr.. Mills report goes into
more detail. and is substantially an argu-
ment against the correctness of the decls-
ion, embellished BY few touches of his
peculiar humor. 1t is lis opinion that if
the decision of the Court is adhered to,
there is no way by which the State can
escape from endless confusion, except to
call Convention and remodel the Con-
stitution. Neither of these reports throw
any light OH the great question as to
what is to be done to remedy our present
chaotic Daily Wisconsin.

TWENTY-FOURTH VOLUME
OF THE
MILWAUKEE SENTINEL.
Published Daily Tri-Uuaekfu Weakly
PROSPECTUS FOR 1862.

PROSPECTUS FOR 1862.
The lst Of January will commence a new
volume of the SENTINEL. The rast year has
been one of severe trial 10 newspape. while
the demand for news has increase /, the means
of support, or, at least, the sources of profit,
have been materially diminished. The pro-
prietors of the SENTINEL take pleasure in ac-
knowledeing that their efforts to keep pace
with events in these stirring times have not
been uuappreciated. and the SENTINEL in its
continued cndeavors to present its countless
readers with the earliest news, and its I'M
swerving advocacy of the Union and Consti-
tuition have been acknowledged and sustained
in liberal manner.
In making preparations for the new volume,
we shall enlarge our facilities for obtaining
important war news, and continue, as hereto
fore. to make the Daily, Tri-W eekly, and
Weekly epitomes of the times.
The eagerness of the public to obtain the
latest information from the seat of war, and
the anxiety of the many thousands, who have
relations and friends in the Union army, to
hear fron the different regiments, have induc-
ed us to make arrangements for ample cores
pondence from all the different points at
which troops from the west may be stationed
The SENTINEL, as heretofore, it is hardly
necessary to say, will be the firm supporter of
Republican principles, the fearlcs: opponent
of local and national wrong, and the medium
of expression for the Mechanic, the Agricul-
turist, and the Merchant.

The General Commanding congratu-

they conquered. With such soldiers adj
vance is victory.
The General Commanding directs,
with peculiar pride, that as a well-de-
