We have endeavored to obtain the names of the soldiers of this city to place npon the “Roll of Honor,” in the Historical Becord of Savannah, but have so far been able only to obtain a few, and have been compelled to re sort to this method; Eqrjieq replying will please he j^articnlar' in 'writing plainly, and they will further oblige Ur furnishing the Wies of those whom they know were killed or died in service; also, the names of those who may now be absent from the city. Assault and Battery Case.—A warrant was yesterday issued against Anthony Mc- Rednjoqd, by Justice Marsh, for an assault ana battery aqd breach of the peace. It was iileged th&t 'he had some difficulty about Wipe money which was owing to .him by a calqred man. named Will.am H- Brown, and Wept to tlje house of the latter, with officer fiarthelmess, to take an account of Brown's goods, and, on coming out of the 1:00m, he Hruck Brown in the eye, and knocked him down stairs. The friends of the latter ral lied, and a lively fight would have ensued lint for the presence of the officer. McBed- mond was arrested and gave bonds for his appearance before the City Court » ;t« 1-t ■ 41; IInwillinq Voyages.—The ship Eme- tald Isle put to sea yesterday morning, and started on her voyage to Liverpool. The tug which accompanied her, dropped off, leaving the pilot, who took her out of port, ou board of her. The pilot was in a decided fix; an unwilling voyager across the Atlantic. For tunately he was relieved from his dilemma by an accidental meeting with the steamship. Wyoming. On being signaled that vessel . and Captainjxeal very kindly took pilot on board, and brought him back day evening, in their new Hall, in Hodgson’s stvinl? 3 'jL°T r -° f ? uU aiul Broughton streets. -About nine o’clock, the’ members, with their invited guests, having assembled in the ante-room adjoining the Hall, which has been neatly fitted up and decorated for the business meetings of the Society, the banquet was announced to be in readiness, and the company, under the direction of the Stewards, proceeded to the table, which was profusely spread with a most sumptuary re- The President, Major John Cunning ham, graced the head of the table, First Vice President "William Bogers doing the honors at the foot;’ the other 'officers, Second Vice Presiderit'Bobert Lachlison and Scretary-C. A. Magill occupying their proper seats, while the worthy Stewards, Alexander Irving and J. M. Selkirk, gave their^jersonal' attention to the dispensation of the true Scotch hos pitalities of the occasion. Shortly after the company were seated, a lousing, smoking Haggis, “the chief of dishes” at a Ncotish feast, was set before the President, who,. after reading a poem from Scotland’s immortal bard in honor of the Haggis, proceeded to dispense it to the com pany, who enjoyed it with a relish. When the company had done justice to the - viands, the fragments being removed, a ca pacious jorum of genuine hot Scotch occu pied the place of the Haggis, and the glasses being filled with the fragrant beverage, the President proceeded to read the regular toasts, which were drank with dne honors, and re sponded to with eloquence, sentiment and song by members and guests around the fes tive board. The regular toasts having been appropri ately disposed of, the call went round and the evening passed in the enjoyment of eloquence, wit, sentiment,- humor and song to a late hour, when the festivities were closed with Old Lang Syne”: by the entire 1 company. Among the guests were several prominent gentlemen, English, Irish, Scotch and Amer ican, with representatives of several of the national and other benevolent societies of Savannah. A most agreeable feature of the evening's entertainment was the presence of several members of the Savannah Quartette Club, whose fine sentimental and humorous songs and glees contributed greatly to the enjoyment of all present. The St. Andrews Society is one of the old est and most respectable benevolent Associa tions of Savannah. During the war its mem bership was scattered, and its anniversaries uncelebrated. We are pleased to learn that it has been resuscitated under the most fa vorable auspices, and that its membership ib rapidly increasing, giving promise of a future career of prosperity and usefulness. Court House Sales.—Yesterday being legal sale day, the Court Honse was. the scene of unusual commotion, and for” an hour or two was alive with bnstle and activity. There was most everything to be sold that a buyer could wish to purchase—land, stocks, horses, mules, wagons, carriages, farming imple ments, and articles of household furniture. Very few sales of real estate anil stocks were made, and those few were at prices which exhibited great demoralization in the value of real estate, or the cash on hand to pur chase with. Mnles and horses were sold at prices ranging from fifty to one hundred and fifty dollars, but the demand was limited. Scarcely any bids could be obtained for real estate, and those were so low that the auction eers withdrew the property advertised to be sold. The following sales were effected : By County Sheriff Dormer:—L.°t in Middle Oglethorpe Ward, with a front of sixty-one feet on West Broad street; and two hundred and twenty-seven feet deep, with improve ments, the property of Lorenzo B. Morse, was bought in for S3,000 by William Warner, in whose favor the execution upon it was As Improvement. —We observe that the °!d trees which fqr a long time have obsemed fta front of tlje Presbyterian Church, corner of Soqth Broad and BfrU streets, have been ent down, so that a full view, of the church ow be had from the street. It makes a de emed improvement in the appearance of the Place, and displays to advantage an elegant specimen of architecture, which, "has been completely obscured by the trees for a very wag time past .««« ■■■■ Horrible Depravity.—Day before yester- day a young elephant aged about four months, and attached to the “shqw of nil shows,” ran Wltl| AnAiltow hlanKant.’o ti*nnlr ifO trank; .with its te has not*yet been apprehended, is an instance of depravity remarkable , oae so young, and shows the evil effects of {wing attached t( oeware. contents.

Hon. E. C. Anouksox, Mavor, Presiding Tuesday, December-A/lSOS. The first day of winter, according to the almanac, was observediwith Ahe usual cere mony in His Honor’s Court. The Marshal, being absent upon other business Liu place was occupied by Lieut. Bell; but the latter failed to fill that position with the usual dig nity, and did not cause the offenders to start convulsively and tremble at the awful sound of his voice and ah ominous frown. Still he did his best, and deserves credit. George Johnson keeps a washing machine of some description or otlier, and is al ways getting himself into trouble with ne- veuches. Johnson likes his wliis- and takes "it like a man. He not only loves a little, and loves that little long,..but he loves a good deal, and loves that good deal strong. Johnson went into a house in the same yard where he keeps his washing machines, and cursed all the wenches in the place; his curses were loud and deep, and at tracted the attention of the neighbors, who endured it until patience ceased to be a vir tue, and then sent for a policeman who con veyed Mr. Johnson to lodgings in Fort Gal- loglay. The case was held-over for a further investigation by the Detective force. Lawton hod an attack of the same disease, but it did not. affect him in the same manner. Whiskey made‘Johnson noisy; it iroduced a profound calm over the soul of ?atrick. He lay him down to. sleep, and hav ing performed his evening devotions he pro ceeded to snore. A watchful policeman gob- bleil him up, and Patrick appeared in the Mayor’s Court He was and costs. Henry Hicks, a drayman, was arrested for fast and careless driving through the streets. He was fined five dollars and costs. The case against Alexander Hardee, men tioned yesterday, was withdrawn by the pros ecutor, George Helmbold, who paid the costs. The Equitable Life Insurance Company.— We have frequently had cause to comment upon the promptitude and. generous acting which are characteristic of this Company, and it is with pleasure that we direct the atten tion of the public to another instance of the ready payment of a risk taken by this Com- >auy. The late William F. Woods, a well- cnown merchant of this city, held a policy for upwards of $30,000 in the Equitable, and the following letter shows that the sum called for was paid immediately upon demand; National Bank of Redemption, ) Boston, Nov. 24th, 1868. f J.

SMSfr- — The Homestead Exemption Law.—The Homestead Exemption lqw appears to have been very carelessly and incautiously framed by the Legislature, and some very curious operations are ailowed .under its provisions. With the law, as at present framed, property can be set aside and secured from seizure, notwithstanding any previous lien that may have been given upon it. Parties who may have lent money in good faith, and in whose favor a writing has been executed to secure them in the paymeqt of such money, are left without any'security at alL If payment is not made they have qo remedy; the law pro tects the debtor lit the expense .of the credit or. It is likely to be a damaging law, to business; for who will lend, or give credit, without some security for the debt A case in point has been brought to our notice. A lady in this city was enabled to start in the millinery business, through the assistance of friends, and with a little capi tal which she, herself, possessed. She has been striving to get along iu the world; and has had a hard tint® do sq comfortably. She sold to a deafer o^e hundred dollars worth of Afilliuery goads, giving him time in which to pay for them- After securing the goods he takes the benefit of the homestead exemption act; has the atook of goods in his store exempted; and the poor woman is left to whistle for her hundred dollars. She has no remedy in the world, and has to suffer a loss which falls heavily npon her. The same 7-nym may go to others. credit for goods, and claim them as part of his stock; and, in this mariner, never pay for anything unless he so. choses, . A law which allows such operations as this is a very unjust one; and should either be re pealed or so amerided as to do justice to all, the creditor as well as the debtor. W ith rion- est men it would iqatter 'but little; but all men are not honest. *_ Bankruptcy. —In the Clerk’s office of the United States District CoffTt, for the Stouth- ern District of Georgia, yesterday, petitions to take the benefit of the bankrupt law, were filed by the following named persons: l James D.

Its career has been marked by honorable, jnst, fair and equitable dealing. Its rates ore as low as those offered by any other company, and in all things appertaining to life assur ance it takes the lead "of many organizations and ranks with the best. It is conducted upon a perfectly equitable system; pays an nually a large dividend to stockholders; pays all losses promptly, and never has to be sued for them. A better company cannot be found anywhere; a safer organization in which to lay op treasure to provide for the support of family when death has removed the one who has cared and provided lor them in his lifetime. When such commutes as the Equit able abound, itfe criminal negligence on the part of OUJ mah ia je&ve his wife or children in a state "of poverty or indigence. A little money, saved from the family expenses will pay the premium on an insurance policy; and in case of accident there is then lwovision for the family support.
