NEGRO TESTIMONY REFUsED.-In the Superior
Court this morning. in the case Of the State Us.
schotten, charged with larceny, Attorney General
Rogers proposed to introduce negro testimony for
the prosecution. The counsel for the defence OBJ
jected, when Judge Warren announced that if such
evidence was offered and tho jury returned YER
dict of guilty, he would set the decision aside.
The case was thereupon dismissed without argu-
1nent, and the prisoner released.
Whether this action will lead to new compica-
tions under tue Civil Rights Bill passed by Con-
gress, remains to be seen. That law declares
that the negro is citizon and shall have the
right in every State and Territory in the United
States to give evidence. If tho rule is applicable
to criminal cases in which they not dir city III
tcrested, we may expect soon to hear that the
Judge is in the hands of the United States Circuit
Court. t.-Ratesgh Progress, 5th.

FRE.-At about three O'Clock yesterday after
noon IN alarm OF fire was sounded tor the second
district. On reaching the scene of confagration
we found the flames proceeding from wooden
double-tenement building near the foot Of Harris
street lane, opposite MIR. Dale's steam saw mill,
owned by Mr. Cook, and occupied by colored
tenants. Owing to the combustible nature Of the
material, the fire spread with alarming rapidty to
the adjoining tenements owned by the same per-
son, and also to the tenement building owned by
Alr. E. 1. Rodgers. The wind was blowing stif1y
and the utmost energy was demanded by the fire
companies, who were on the ground with COM
n1endable alacrity, to arrest the progress OF the
devouring element
The property lost was two double tenement
buildings, one fronting on Harris street, and one
on Harris street lane, the property OF MIR. Cook,
upon which there was no insurance, and one
double tenement owned by MIR. Rodgers, which we
have been informed was not insured. The Sayan-
nah Brass Band occupied one Of the rooms in Mr..
Cooks building as q practicing room, and lost
sevora! OF their instruments which they value at
$500. Tie furniture of the tenants was generally
DESTROYED, SO rapid was the spread Of the flames.
ar. Dale's loss is slight. Bulloch lost all his car
penters tools, very serious loss to him. -SaUGfa

ANOTHER ATTEMPTED MURDER Maulding
being out IN search Of calf on Marietta road yes
terday, when about one and half miles from the
city, near Mrs. Ponder's place, had his attention
arrested to noise resembling the explosion OF
gun or pistol cap; immediately turning around he
saw negro man behind briar PATCH with gun
presented at him. Mr. Mullding then fed, and
giving the alarm, collected q number of persons
and started in pursuit. The party were soon Sue
cessful IN capturing q freedman named John But
ler, who acknowledges having been on the spot
designated with gun, but denies having pointed
it at Mr. Maulding: The gun has about three
charges in it. Butler was committed for further
hearing.-A&anta Era.

LATEST FROM LBERrA.-The fine ship Golconda,
belonging to the American Colonization Society,
commanded by Captain Miskeley, arrived at this
port yesterday from Liberia, having made the pas
sage from Monrovia in the short space Of forty
days. The ship is consigned to her agent, DR..
James Hall. She brings no cargo, not having re-
manned long enough on the coast to collect any,
her time for sailing from here again being the 10th
instant. She brings several Liberians passengers,
among them Mrs. Blyden, wife Of the Rev. E. w.
Blyden, who is now travelling in Egypt. Mr..
Blyden went to Liberia when boy, having sailed
from Baltimore in the Liberian packet. He was
born somewhere in the West Indies and having
MO relatives in Liberia, on his arrival there was
taken in hand by the teacher in charge Of the
Presbyterian school at Monrovia, and eduoated at
the expense of the mission. The Rev. MIR. Blyden
is now g professor in the Lbsrir College, and is
considered one Of the best educated men in
Liberia.
The general news by the Golconda is unimpor-
tant. Trade was not very brisk on the coast as
the oil season had nc! commenced. The people
were generally thriving, especially the farmers.
The emigrants by the dolconda from Charleston,
were very much pleased with the appearance Of
the country, and have written encouragingly to
their friends. President Warner writes to DR..
Hall that he had just returned from survey of
the 'sold fields" through which they are desirous
of having q canal cut connecting the Mesurado
and, Junk Rivers. If this is effected it will bring
Montserado and Grand Bassa counties very near
each other inland. The distance across the sold
field" is three and quarter miles. President
Warner writes that there are yet along our coast
disturbances among the natives, affecting very in
juriousy our oil trade. gunboat would effectual-
ly queu this, if We had one"
The Golconda is expected to sail from this port
about tho Goth instant for Liberia uia Charleston,
South Carolina She is an elegant ship OF about
1000 tons purchased in Boston, to take the place
of the Mary Caroline Stevens, which was sold dur
ing the late war in consequence of the trade with
Liberia being entirely stopped The former ship
was built out of the fund donated by the late Mr..
Stevens, of the Eastern Shore Of Maryland, in his
taken to have the Golconda's name changed to
that of Mary Caroline Stevens.-Battieore Sun.
