Destructive fire. --About three o'clock yesterday morning the fine country mansion of Hon. James Lyons, situated on the Brook turnpike, a little over a mile from the city, was entirely consumed by fire, together with all his furniture, comprising a first class assortment, and a magnificent law library, that cannot be replaced in the Confederacy. The fire was the work of an incendiary, and had gained such headway before it was discovered that the occupants of the house, comprising Mr. and Mrs. Lyons, Miss. Mary Lyons, and Mrs. Robert E. Scott, came near suffocating. Every room in the house was filled with smoke before any one was aroused, and on awakening they had barely time to escape in their night dresses. The density of the smoke was so great that at a late hour yesterday afternoon we learn Mr. Lyons was unable to move about, and was suffering severely from its effects. None of the family saved any of their clothing, and with the exception of a few trifling articles of

The Ogden Habeas Corpus case. --In the Confederate States District Court yesterday Hon. James Lyons delivered his argument in the case of R. D'Orsey Ogden, acting manager of the Richmond Theatre, who sues out for exemption from military service on the ground of his being a British subject. The honorable gentleman occupied tas taken, it would be just as well to say that Abe Lincoln would constitute himself a Confederate citizen if he were to come to Richmond and remain a single day. Mr. Lyons, in submitting the case to the Judge, based his application for the discharge of his client, firstly, upon the ground that he had never been domiciled at all, and secondly, that if he had been, his domicil never extended to the Confederate States. We do not pretend to give anything like a report of Mr. Lyons's speech, but merely design to set forth what were its most striking points. At the conclusion, Judge Halyburton was placed in possession of all the papers which had been used by

At that time there were seven of them together, each of whom, when discovered and pursued by Dr. P. and his son, wheeled and fired their muskets at them. They finally succeeded in driving off seven of the doctor's sheep.

ence. Surely his vote would not have been received if he had been so drunk as not to know what he was doing. The Judge thought he was domiciled in Alabama and liable to conscription. While he may not be a naturalized citizen, he is, nevertheless, domiciled, and his expressions of intention to return to England do not rebut the domicil arising from long residence. Whether he be a subject of England or the United States, he is domiciled here, and is therefore remanded into the custody of the enrolling officer. At this point, Mr. James Lyons obtained the ear of the Court, calling the attention of the Judge to a provision of the treaty between the United States and Great Britain, which the counsel had thought sufficient to meet the case. The Judge consented that a re-hearing might be had on that point on Saturday next, as he had not considered the treaty referred to in making up his decision. Whereupon the rule remanding Ogden is suspended until the hearing of the point made.
