An a t to authorise the county eom sisatoejejs of Columbus country to levy a spooled tax, This great case, involving many points of constitutional law which were awaiting aa authoritative announcement from the Su preme Court of the United States, has just been decided by that tribunal. It is unques tionably one of the moat important decisions ever made in thia country. We have not room for the opinion of the Court, which is acknowledged to be one of the ablest and most exhaustive and conclusive that ever em anated from the Supreme bench. The most important point was that of the jurisdiction of the Court. The Supreme Court has juris diction of suits brought by a State of the Union against auy other Stats or eithtens of any ether State. . This suit was instituted by the State of Texaa while under the control of the State government established therein in pursuance of President Johnson's reeonstrue tion policy. That government was, by the act of March tin- "ml, 187, pronounced "il legal." And Texas was, by a subsequent act of July the 10th, 1807, declared tn be one of those states which "had not legal govern incuts."' The suit was instituted in 1867 as uu original suit in the United-States Supreme Court, and the decision is uot only that the Court had jurisdiction, but that, notwith standing all the acts of Congress, Texas was at that time actually and legally a State, and odc of the States of the Union. We cannot, with our limited space, enter into the details pf the case or of the points decided. It decided, among other things, that Texas has never ceased to be1 a State of theUuion; that the acts of secession were void, and that no State has at any time taken itself out of the Uuion. The authority of the Federal Government was suspended while the State was in rebellion, but the State did not lose its status as one of the States of the Union, nor its citizens as citi zens of the United States. The establish ment of the provisional governments organ ized by Presidents Liucoln and Johnson is justified as a necessity for the restoratiogWef law and order aud legitimate Stale govmB ments in the lately rebellions States. Any opinion upon the constitutionality of the va rious reconstruction acts of Congress is avoid- v r f . ' to the Revenue. Tbe suhjeaa of thtmui one in which all the people are so rnnch 'fiV terested that we know (psOOr leaders WTO approve of what we have me. The law la relation to the collection of the taxes, which will be found ou our first pace, should be resd with care by all. especially that part of it re lating to the assessment efffedits for taxa tion. Before lifting their old notes and ac counts it will be necessary for creditors to determine upon what terms they are willing to compromise with their debtors. . . , . l iu... u,huk ,,iuin.. y. -icjest son into I London mercantile - Tbiuh. 48 DIED: In Thomasville N C, on the 19th inst, Mrs Ann Reid, wife of Rev Dr N F Ueid, in the 46th year oi her age.

Mr. Editot : The continuance of the political disturbances in the principal Su gar producing regions, (the island of Grist ha,) especially, leaves no doubt, whatever, that the supplies hitherto derived from tnose pans, win oe to a great extent cut off. And although it has been stated perhaps correctly, that the amount of su gar produced iu Louisiana, Tezaa uni Florida, will considerably exceed the amount made for the past K w years ; vet. alter ail, the supply to be expected from all these sources, will bej must be, very much below tbe demand, increasing as it does, daily. Tbe consequence will be, a continued advance in the price of sugar until it shall reach a point, which will preclude its use by many, unless our people shall, in time, avail themselves of the production of Sorrhum, which rery bnppily, all may now do. In confirmation of these views, I bee to commend to your attention tho accom naiivinsr article, which tuesents the sub ject in a, very plain and conclusive man ner. E. S.

From tha Msoob (Oa.) Te'egraph. Sngar has gone up in consequence of the civil disturbances in Cuba and the practical abolition of slavery in that island, and the newspapers have been agitating me question 01 me sources 01 tnc supply. Two or three months ago we had the oc casion to acknowledge the ieceipt of a sample of sugar made from sorghum, by a company in Louisville, Ky., which was equal in quality to the best New Orleans raw sugar. It was stated that a product hi 900 to 1,200 pou mis of sngar to the acre of sorghum cane was the ordinary yield in Kentucky ; and if this be true, it is quite et i dent the suga&problcm is solv ed at once. Sorghum can be raised without any dif ficulty in any part of the United States south of Central Illinois, but attains a more perfect development in the cotton Stati s. Maturing earlier than sugarcane the grinding season is sufficiently long iu most of these States to admit of working up the crop as leisurely as the. cane of Louisiana, and ti e product is sufficiently remunerative to justify the most perfect apparatus for that purpose. Alkthe obstacles to as perfect a crys talisation of the syrup of sorghum aa that of tbe sirup of sugar cane are removed by tbe simple expedient of defecating the juice before it is boiled. Tin- sugar then granulates beautifully, and both sugar and sirup are aas free from the peculiar flavor ot the sorghum aa could be desired. Madi id, April 14".
