It is the nature of sovereignty that it can ?either be destroyed, alienated, divided, nor given away. It is to the State wha' the will is to tho man. a. State can no more lose or give away its sover? eignty than the man can lose or give away his will. No warean so far kill State sovereignty that it will not, daring all future time,.have thc sacred and eternal right to hang whomsoever has attempted ita destruction. When old JOHN Bitow.v made his attempt upon the sovereignty of Virginia, all admitted that he was justly and legally executed. There eau never oome a time when "Virginia will not have1 the right to admin? ister & similar punishment tb any. party violating her sovereignty. Her inability 'to '''enforce her ooverejgn rights cannot be quoted as pioof to the contrary. On the other hand, that very inability must be received as a presumptive evidence that; her people will never cease to watch and pray and struggle to re-assert their sovereignty, and to punish the criminal violators of it. In this State for twelve months the strong hand of the military subordinated civil to martial law. J The will of the soldier was omnipotent. It over? rode the organic as well as - the statutory law of the Oommonwealth. It determined who should and who should not hold office. It set aside con? stitutional election?, and . utterly ignored every article of the bill of rights. It nullified acts of the Legislature, disregarded' the orders of tho Execu? tive and the decrees pf the Ju ?'ici a ry. It assorted r^fl rr\n9t rigorous censorship of the press, suppressed psbluvjournals, and, imprison? ed editors at wEL, But this exerciso of the most absolute powers by tbe army of occupation did not destroy a Bingle constitutional or legal right of tho Virginia citizen. It didnot change tho charac? ter of our State .Government, nor permanently disqualify any gentleman who was excluded from office by order of tho military. With the Presi? dent's proclamation of peace wo wero at onco re? habilitated in those rights which martial law denied na.for twelve months. As Boon as the proclamation of peace announc? ed our liberation from the thraldom of tbe sword, ?with' the noble manliness of a free people we straightway asserted those rights. Nowhere was this assertion of our civil rights more speedily than ia Richmond., Tho Ute- charter election sfcoV>that our peop^did not^regard^iiome of our best dtizens w disqualified from holding offices because they-were jaot*ccep?i^.vt?!jtt& military jatoorities. .?>;>: U*he war baa not "destroyed" h -Single civil pr political right, State or Jeder?!/whr r teed b'yj^Conaticution and Itw^W^^i By -Last Night's Mail.

Sfconf?-Are hankers doing a general business as such, and ?. selling their own stocks, ?Ste, liable to pay the dutiea.imposed by the ninety-ninth sec-r lion upon brokers and bankers doing business aa brokers, in addition to those imposed upon them as bankers? Third-Are bankers who sell not only stocks be? longing to themselves, but also those belonging^ to others, to bo rogarded aa bankers doing busi ' ness as brokers, and therefore liable to a tax upon tbeir.salea ? ? _. . _ . Tho first two questions-have recently been con? sidered bv the Supreme Court of the United States, and it has been decided by them, first.' that brok? ers are liable tb a tax upon their saios of their own stocks, exchange, bullion, coined money, bank notes, promissory notes and other securities, as well os upon those belonging to others ; second, that baukera doing a general business as such, making returns and paying duties, and taxes imposed by. law upon their capital and deposits, who negotiate and sell Government securities as agents of the Government, and who at the same timo buy and sell Government securities for them? selves, and do not for others, or for a commission, are not liable to a tax upon such sales. The third question has not been dirtclly adjudi? cated bv the Court, as.it has not been directly brought before it. It has been the role of the office, however, that when a banker is engaged in selling not only his own stocks, tte., but stocks, ?c., lor other j, for a* commission, he is a banker, doing business as a broker, and is liable to pay a tax on all h i s -o alcs-r-sale? <>f hia own ato?kja bonds, Government securities, .?kc, included. TfiVe seems ' clearly sustained by the reasoning of the Court io its recent decision, and will be regarded as the requirement of thu law. Assessors and their as? sistants and Co.lee tors and their deputies are hereby instructed to proceed at once to the as? sessment and collection of such taxes as have ac? crued upon the sales of brokers, or of bankers ' doing business as brokera, and which still remain unasBeaaed, ox duo and unpaid.
