Chancellor Johnson, of South Carolina, has just given an interesting decision, lhe case was one of a purchase made in 1862, when the buyer paid two thousand dollars in Con federate money at the ,ime of the pur chase, and gave two notes for the balance, one payable at twelve months, the other at two years. Iu 1 8G3 the first note was paid, hen div, in Confedera'e money. in jm4 a part, oi tne second nolo was paid in Confederate money, about a month befurc the note was due. When this note matured, the purchaser came forward with the remainder and offered it in Confeder ate money, but it was refused. The ques tion came up whether the purchaser had not performed his contract as far as he cou'd be expected to do so. After an able argument the Court held that the balance Wfl'i wtill ilno iml tint t ulifodd lio nnnnm. .!, ,.-v.vu ..e stituticn. and according to the result ot original debt bears to the value -f the nu r- t!!",s votc a convention cr.ase in present currency, givicg credit for ail payments in the same ratio.

Money is of no use in the purchase of provisions, for there is. nothing to sell. All that can be gathered up is taken to one general distributing point, and issued to all classes a'ike. The Mayor is indefatiga ble in .his labor, hunting- up and taking provisions wherever they can be found. but all that he or anybody can do is not sufficient to prevent the most extraordina ry suffering. Hundreds of persons have not only lost their provisions and furniture, but all their clothes except what they happened to have on their backs. Many who were in comparatively comfortable circumstan ces have been reduced to absolute poverty. From the poor has been swept even what little they had. The destitution is utter and deplorable.
