The Siege of Charleston. Charleston, Jan. 5. --The enemy opened fire last night about 10 o'clock upon the city, firing one shell every half hour up to 5½ o'clock this morning. Sixteen shells in all were thrown; nobody injured. The Yankees have opened two more embrasures today, one bearing on the city and the other on James Island. No firing between the batteries and all quiet at Sumter. The number of shells thrown into the city up to this time is about 450.

ats fell to one hundred for one, and before they were finally disposed of, the sum of 16,000 francs ($3,200) in that currency was paid for a single breakfast. The reason why depreciation cannot be stopped by legal tender laws is obvious enough. It is always caused by redundancy, and such laws do not reach the root of the evil. The notes of the Bank of England were made a legal tender everywhere in the realm, except at the counter of the bank itself, in 1835. But why? Because they are perfectly convertible, and always command pound for pound and shilling for shilling upon presentation. Nobody thought of making them a legal tender during the long interval from 1797 to 1817, when the bank suspended specie payment, although the depreciation was never greater than is implied by the fact that forty-six guineas in gold bought fifty-six guineas in Bank of England notes. It is strange that after so much and such hardly bought experience, people will still talk of legal tender laws.

lished. Let it be done forthwith for the sake of the country's honor. Where is the instance on record of depreciation having been arrested by the passage of legal tender bills? It has been tried over and often, and where has it ever succeeded? We confess we recollect no instance of the kind. A writer in the Sentinel, a few days since, handled this subject with great ability, and we are indebted in part to him for the facts which we are about to state. The Colony of Massachusetts, in 1690, emitted certain bills of credit, and passed penal laws against all who refused to take them at par The expedient failed, and the bills depreciated until they became worthless. The other New England States all emitted bills of credit, guarded by penal laws of the same description, but they could not arrest the depreciation of the currency thereby. Pennsylvania, and North and South Carolina, all tried the experiment, with the like result. They all either declared the bills a legal tender, o
