TAX LAW DECIsION.-The same

places, must take licenses for each
place, where the business is carried
on.
Parties buying produce in the

A party buying produce in the

Castings are liable to a tax of 8
per cent, .,unless otherwise provided
When sold by the manufacturer
the tax must be assessed, as com
ponent parts of other articles, the
latter Chat is, the articles) will be
assessed without regard to the fact
of previous payment.
The general principle running
through the English Law is, that
each particular manufacturer is
taxed for its value, though matcri-
ais used in its production are in
themselves manufactures on which
a duty has been previously paid
This is true Of shoes made of taxed
leather, Of engines made from iron
on which tax has been paid, and
so forth.

COUNTERFEIT MONEY AND THE
VoLUNTEGRs.-The. Journal Of Com
merce has the following:
An army sutlcr, on the16th inst,
called at one Of our city banks to
have S27 Of Indiana money eX-
changed for current funds, when
$25 of the whole amount was
thrown ont as counterfeit. After
expressing his astonishmcnt, tho
man declared that one entire regi-
ment had received their State
bounty IN this very spurious mon
ey. And from the banker alluded
to, l learn that the amount of coun-
tetfeit money now in circulation in
the army and in this community is
enormous, and the rascals who arc
thus robbing people by wholesale,
hail chiefly from Indiana, Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey. And there
is a mongrel concern in this city,
of which the following statement
is true:
"They paid a man some of their
notes, which were deposited in an
other bank, and though presented
for redemption before the day clo'
sed, they were refused by the mon
grcl on the plea that many of their
notes had been stolen, and they did
not think this batch genuine

SUBSTITUTE FOR CoTToS. - III

SUBSTITUTE FOR CoTToN. - The
government now uses for twine,
for postal purposes, flax instead of
cotton. The material is stronger
and safer than cotton twine, and q
hundred yards more to the pound
is produced. The railroads arc u.s.
ing thin iron roofs for their passen-
ger cars instead Of cotton, and bass
wood shavings slnstead of cotton for
their packing. Gradually, if'the
war goes on, King Cotton may have
to take his place behind the throne
instead of upon it, as monarch Of
all he surveys. Wool and flax arc
fast gaining i'll the race, for mastery.

To PREVENT COLDS IN CHILDREN.

IL REV ENI COLDS In CHlLDhbN.
The best preventative of colds in
children is to dress them warm and
give them exercise daily in the
open air, and wash them thorough
ly every day in cold water, if they
are strong enough to bear it; if
not, add a little warm water, and
rub the skin dry. This keeps the
pores open. If they do take cold,
give them a warm bath as soon as
possible; if that is not convenient,
bathe the feet and hands, and wash
the body all over with warm water,
and give them a cup of warm tea,
and cover the patient in bed. A
void exposure the following day.

No MORE GUNCoTToN.-The Aus

report that proposal had been
made in high quarters to abandon

vice ofthc army, ,,and to transform
the artillery constructed for its use
into ordinary guns.

took out for the princess of that
island an abundant stock of Grim
son robes, having skirts resplen'
dent with embroidery, sent by her
Imperial Majesty. But the object
of universal interest among the
fair was the expanding crinoline,
which took every thing else down,
the only question being whether it
should be worn above or beneath
the dress. A French officer says
that one of Radama's daughters
decided on wearing the cage on
the outside, and probably that will
be the fashion in Madagascar.

GOODNESS GRAcIoUs.-The candidate for

thus does Justice" to the effort of the young
orator. The orator took up the issues of
the day
80 commencing as the gentle and beautiful
rivulct, and as he foated majestically on its
smooth waters to the rushing, roaring river,
down which he swept, carrying everything
by storm before him, until he entered the
deep and almost unfathomless depths of
reason and logical argument, in which he
proyed himself equal TO the task Of elucida-
ting the principles Of Democracy; during
which he emitted such brilliant flashes of
lofty eloquence and oratorical excellences as
to move, almost to tears, the majority of his
attentive listeners
That about a man when he had reached
the "deep and almost unfathomable depths
of reason proving himself equal to the
task of calculating the principles of Democ-
cacy,' is good.

Vote of Shasta County.

Below we give the vote of Shasta county,
as far as we have been able to learn it. The
vote is rather small one,- compared with
that of preceding elections This is owing to
the fact that good many of our rcitizens are
now absent from.the State. Besides, some
secesh thought that it was not worth while to
struggle, and some Union men on their part
thought that the result was safe enough any
way So they stayed a. home. Enough has
been done to give Shasta county the badge of
the banner county of the State. Auyc unty

for services rendered by him in the recent
campaign in behalf of the Union cause
He has given his voice and the full weight
of his influence to this movement, and is en-
titled to very high praise for his earnestness
and efficiency therein. He was among the
first in the county to recognize the necessity
for Union men to be together, and that such
desirable consammation has been reached
inthis coanty, is largely attributable to his
efforts

GREAT FREIGHTING-The Territorial En-

publishes statistics, which prove that rail-
road from California would be profitable
one, and says that the best estimates put the
amount of freight required for Washoe and
its dependencies, during the eight Winter
months, at 100000 lbs. At 4! cents per
pound, the freight on this would amount to
81, ,296, 900. This is forcible argument in
favor of railway across the mountains.

Shocking Murder.

A man named Thomas Welch, aged about
twenty six years, and native ofcounty
Cork, Ireland, was killed at this place on
last Sunday night, the 3lst ult., by Span
ish' American negro. commonly called
"Spanish Jce." Un Monday following an
inquest was held over the remains of deceas-
ed, before Justice Kapple. as the law pro-
vides, and the following facts substantially
were elected Deceased, with one or two
other persons, had been at Brincard's Hotel,
commonly called the 6. French house." until
a late hour. While there some difficulty oc-
CURED between deceased and "Spanish Joe, !"
who left the place soon after. In short
time thereafter deceased, with one or two
friends, left for the purpose of going to bed
at Desmond's Hotel. In passing up Main
street, and when in front of Stevenson's
store, Spanish Joe came on the party from
the street. and threw stone or other missile
Mt Welch. Welch Immediately seized the
assailant and threw him Down on the side
walk While in this position Joe drew a
hunters knife and stabbed deceased Just
above and about midway of the collar bone,
on the right side, the weund penetrating
downwards and forwards, and severing tie
subcavian artery. The murderer was at
once arrested. No one seems to have seen
the blow actually inflicted. A bloody knife
found on the ground was identified as the
property of the prisoner. A large rough stone
was found at the same time on the side walk.
Testimony was full to the effect that the
wound caused the death. The jury empan.
neled in the case returned verdict in ac-
cordance with the above facts, that deceased
came to his death by wound inflicted by a.
knife held in the hands of prisoner

President Lincoln.

There has been. no doubt for very long
time in the minds Of the loyal masses, in re-
spect to the purity Of purpose, honesty and
elevated patriotism Of the President of the
United States. He has. done no act calsula-
ted to weaken public confidence in him, and
the opinion is generally entertained that he
is bold, earnest and honorable mar. But
from the day Of his induction into Office he
has been the target at which scoundTels have
aimed their most poisoned calumnies. Of
course his views on the slave question furnish
the point of attack. 1t might we'll be doubt
ed, if some of these assailants wokld have
any great idea of the Christian religion, if
they did not fancy that they could s ID ssme-
thing in the Bible which seemed tcthem as
favoring slavery. In the extract given below,
Mr. Lincoln stoops to again define lisviews.
What he says brings no new intel gence to
any loyal mind:
