There were some civilians came in there soon aflej- and got into a muss with Ring. I went out with Ring and the citizens to see the fight. We went up the street a short distance, and the civilians backed out and would not fight. The civilians then asked us to go up a little further. We went up with them until we came to this store Then they asked us in to have a drink. We went inside and tor>k our drinks. The citizens weht out. Ring and myself were still irnsidc. Just as the citizens went out of the door there was a shot fired. Ring asked the old man what he fired for. He eave him no answer. We went outside then and went up to the corner. There I met Sergt. Waterhouse oatside the door. Some one said he was shot. I did not hear him say so. The citizens said let us go back.

LETTitg PROM THE CAPITAL,, [SpecialCorrespondence Savannah Herald-] Mn.LtDOKVir.LK, Jan, 23, 18CG. Editors Herald: Legislation drags its slow length along. Two of the most immirtant bills introduced are the Homestead bill and the bill allowing a conventional rate of,interest. The former ot these grants to every person now owning or who may hereafter own a home, Exemp tion from the levy and sale of the same, whcthei^tfiat home or dwelling be in the country or ih the city, or whether its value be five hundred or five thousand dollars. The latter bill allows an interest of ten per cent, to be collected if such a rate be agreed ppon between the parties—but no higher rale. The Homestead- bill promises to afford substantial relief to the people in a constitu tional way; hut there are many obstacles in the way of its perfection. Indeed it is much to be feared that these obstacles wilt prove insurmountable. The Senate thought at one time thev had everything right with regard to the bill. They agie d upon the re port of the committee of the whole, and only lacked oue other vote (which it would cer tainly hive received) when suddenly some fatal defect was discovered in it, and it was re-referred to the Committee on the Judi ciary who had already given it mature con sideration. What is to Dj its fate-—whether it will pass with amendment or be killed by the over kindness of its friends, I am uuahlc to say. The interest bill recommended by Gov. Jenkins in his message, met with little or no opposition Indeed all the opi>osition mani fested came from those who were in favor ot abolishing all rates of interest on money loaned, and holdiog parties bound to what ever rates they might contract to give. Mr. Owens of Chatham, made an able argument in favor of abolishing all rates. He attempted to show, and I think succeeded admirably in the effort, that by throwing money into the market the same as other commodities, the TUB CASE OF GBR. MERCER. COMMIS3IOW MERCHANTS. Me.

Tbe radical theory that by secession the Southern States have voluntarily withdrawn from the Union, leads of course to the logical conclu sion that they are now mere dependencies— that the law of nations and not Constitu tional law applies to them—that they may enter the-Union as California and other con quered territory been me.a purt of the Ameri can republic. If such be their condition, on what ground can these radicals insist on amendments of the constitution by three- tourths of all tbe States, including tbe seceded States, when, on their theory, the seceded States no louger constitute a part of the Con federacy ?
