Wisconsin State Taxes Declared Valid
from the Madieon State Journal, I'd

The opinions OF Chief Justice Dixon and
Associate Justice Paine, given this afternoon,
reversing their decision Of last winter, by
which the State taxes for many years past were
pronounced invalid, viii be found in full in
our columns this evening. This places the
subject back where the decision of 1855 left it.
The court adhered to their former opinion Of
the present tax law, as an original question,
but have receded from their decision Of last
winter upon grounds of public policy and the
principle Of stare decisis This will be good
news 10 the whole State, and extricate it from
difficulties Otherwise irremediable.

that capt y. Jenning Wise, son of Gov. Wise,
was Shot throughr,he hip and disabl~ d, though
his wound was not mortal.
About three hundred Confederates were
Killed, and over one thousand wounded. The
number OF Yankees wounded is about the same.
A late arrival of this morning says that Eliz-
abeth City had been shelled and burned by the
Yankees, and that the enemy was pushing on to
Edenton.
The following very latest we COPY from to-
days Norfolk Day Book
courier arrived here Yesterday afternoon
about three o'clock, from whom we gather the
following information
The enemy advanced in full force upon Eliza
beth City yesterday about o'clock, and began
an attack upon that place. The citizens, find
ing resistance vain, evacuated the place, but
before doing SO, set fire to the town, and when
our informant left, it was still in flames
We have also to record the capture by the en-
envy of all our little fleet, except the Fanny, or
Forest, our informant is not certain which She
was pursued, however, and fears are entertained
that she was captured.
All the details are published with reference to
the capture of Roanoke Island are confirmed by
the Courier, who represents our loss at 800
killed and wounded and that of the enemy at
not less than 1000 killed.
Great havoc was made among the enemy
while coming up the road leading to the Fort.
Our forces brought to bear upon two 32-pound-
ers, and at every fire the ranks were terribly
| thinned
There is a rumor that Gen. Wise had been
shot while on his way in an ambulance. We
can only account for it by supposing that the
name of the General was COMPOUNDED with that
of his son, who was reported among the killed.
A Steamer with official dispatches from Gen
Burnside is hourly expected The prisoners
captured numbering at least 900, will be here
in few days.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 12--The Commercial says
