1t may be, as urged by counsel, that
this will not necessarily lead to the recog-
milton of the same principle in new legis-
lation upon other subjects. That it may
be held binding SO far as it actually de-
cided, but not held as establishing
principle to be applied TO new cases.
But that is not now to be determined.
The reasons which induced the judges
now constituting the majority of the
court to feel that they were not obliged
to regard that decision, as they would
one in which the court had filed an opin,,
ion. have been already sufficiently stated
in other opinions. But, Notwithstanding
we have not the reasons of the court, we
know, that upon some ground, they sus-
tanned the law of 1856, and we know
that the entire taxation of the state, and
all the private transactions growing out
of it, have since been conducted upon
the theory of its validity. Upon this
ground alone is that decision eutitled to
be regarded as an authority; but this
alone is sufficient to make it imperative.
/ am satisfied that the decision in the
case of The State VS.. The Winnebago
Lake and Fox R. P. R. Co. should be
overruled, and the law of 1854 held
valid; and that the motion for re-
hearing in this case should be granted.

The Tax Decision.

It will be seen that the Supreme
Court have reversed their former decis-
ion, aud hold the state taxes TO have
been valid. The State Journal says
1.-THE court adhered to their former
opinion Of the present tax law, as an
original question, but have rece1led from
,hcir decision of last winter upon grounds
of public policy and the principle of
stare derisis. This will be good news
TO the whole state, and eXtricate it from
difficulties otherwise irremediabie."
The opinions of Justices Dixon aud
PAINE will be read with interest. They
clearly portray the disastrous results to
the state, of an adherence to their first
decision, and the wonder is that they
could not have seen these results when
the decision was made. After alarming
he whole state, filing tho minds Of all
with uncertainty, causing loss to many
holders Of tax certificates, making IN ex-
ira session of tho Legislature necessary,
they now coolly recede from tho position
they took. 1t appears 10 us that the
best thing Justices Dixon and PAINE
can now do is 10 resign.

Silence i'm Nature.

1t is remarkable and very instructive
fact, that many Of the most important
operations of nature are carried on in un
broken silence. There is no rushing
sound when the broad tide of sunlight
breaks on dark world and floods it with
light, as one bright wave over another
fall from the fountain, millions of millions
of miles away. There is no creaking of
axles or groaning of cumbrous machinery
as the solid earth wheels on its way, and
every planet and system performs its rev.
olutions. The great trees bring forth
their boughs and shadow the earth be-
meath them-the plants cover themselves
with buds, and the buds burst into flow
ers; but the whole transaction is unheard.
The change from snow and winter winds
to blossoms and fruits, and the sunshine
of summer is seen in its slow develop
ment, but there is scarcely sound to tell
Of the mighty transformation. The SOL
elnn chant OF the ocean, rs it raises its
unchanged and increasing voices, the
roar Of tie hurricane, and the mighty riv-
er, and the thunder Of the black browed
storm; all this is tue music of nature
great and swelling anthem of praise,
breaking in on the universal calm. There
is lesson for us here. The mightest
worker in the universe is the most unob-
trusNe.

The Fight Mt Cedar Hun.

From an officer OF the Stonewall Brigade, and who
has followed its fortunes in all its desperate and bloody
encounters with the enemy, learn that the fight
Cedar Run, On Saturday last was tie most desperate
and determined of any that he has yet witnessed.
The eneny's cavalry first advanced upon our column
in>heavy FORCE and were suffered to approach within
few yards C men, when the whole line poured in
deadly fire, which caused them to recoi and finally
treat in great disorder. Then strong column CT in
antry approached with the evident design of anking
gallant little band and arriving within short dis
knce prepared to charge. But our brave men met
them with such storm OF iron hail that they, too,
broke and ran, pursuing them, and, as iD-
orn1ant states, literally butchefing them every step
of their retreat At this point in the engagement the
enemys reinorcements came up, and our men, in their
turn being in imminent danger of being fanked, were
compelled 10 fail back dsputing. every inch of the
ground, but losing number OF prisoners. Our rein
orcements upon the field at this time, and our in
ormant says the most desperate hand to hand encounter
probably witnessed any battle field look place
Our troops with desperate valor charged upon the
envy, who met them bravely, and bayones locked and
sabres crossed-ach fought if the fortunes of the
field depended alone upon him. And when the bayonet
failed to do its work, broken lost with Club
bed guns the was continued until the enemy
finally gave way and scattered in all directions. Here

aud best officers of the whole Southern army. But over

o'clock the boat anchored off the town at the mouth
of Back River That night the one that came up in
the morning joined by the little steamer Treate,
and early next morning they proceeded up the river Ito

About thirty miles up the river from Georgetown they
opened tremendous fire of Shells grape shot and pieces
of lamp pests y to Is inches long, on Wards Artil
Iery, wbfh placed there to intercept them their
way up the river The weight of their metal and the
range of their fire enabled them to drive artl

WE would suggest to farmers that 10 putting up
meat this Fall and Winter, they ought to make their
calculations to at least fifty per cent more, taking
the nominal bushel standard, than they formerly
did of the Liverpool or Turks Island Salt. There is
at least that much difference in weight This sugges
ton we are requested to make by who knows and
we know ourselves where some as fine meat as we
saw came to spoil from want of sufficient Salt it hay

Sound Salt that had formerly been used of the heavier

TIE ENEMY's Loss IN THE CEDAR RUN FIGHr-We
have already stated that the Yankees flag of truce
Saturday, to ask permission to bury their dead 1t
was granted, and the battle ground became neutral
A large number of our and Yankee officers met and
conversed pretty freely about matters and things in
general and the late battle in particular. The Yankees
say that Banks commanded, and express their opinion
quite freely to his incompetency indeed it said to
have been quite amusing to hear of the remarks
made of this would be Yankee hero by some of his fol
lowers The Yankee Major General Augher was shot
in the left breast, and mortay wounded and Gen. Gary
was wounded in the arm. The Yankees acknowledge
that they had 500 killed, including many officers
and Of their surgeons unntentionaly let it out that
ll50 wounded had already been moved from the field
From their statement the Yankee loss was hardly
short of 5000 Our loss was little over one hundred
killed, and between 500 and 600 wounded and missing.
