Among the many events of personal interest that transpired in the South during the late war, but few are of a more dramatic character or aroused a deeper interest among our people than the unfortunate personal difficulty which took place in the confederate aen nte, at Richmond, during its secret am nions, between Mr. William L. Yancey of Alabama and Mr. Ben. 11. Hill of (leorgia. Several different conflicting versions of Ode afair have been given, through the southern press, but none has yet been published that accords with a statement we ,recently derived from a gentleman who was at the time a senator, and an eye- witueee to all hat transpired on the occasion. llThe difficulty had its origin in the totted political contest so common in this country prior to the breaking out of the war. It was when Yancey,. with hie dazeling eloquence, was ffiring the southern beart,' tltat a barbecuey atien•leil by thousanda,was given in ono' of the southern counties of tieorgisi., It was here that Hill and Yancey met —the one the 111,1 and eloquent defen der ul the Unibil, arid the other the boated champion of secession ; and du ring the d e bat e which ensued words .

It was when the south was drooping, and every patriot heart was heavy with despondency and; gloom, that Mr. Yancey rising in hia. plane in the senate, declared that the war could no longer be carried on with any hope of nuccese unless many of the constitutional reetrtirrito and einbamtneb wen te were thrown aside,and boldly ad vocated a radical change in the de mands of the hour. Upon the conclusion of Mr. Yancertif remarks, Mr. Hill firomptly arose to reply. The scene wan one of the most intense excitement. He deprecated the opinion 'advocated by Mr. Yancey, and proceeded with severity to review hie past political career, running hack to the beginning of the times vrhidi oar sectional troubles were first agitated. Ile weld Mr. Yancey, not satisfied wits having warred upon and disrupted the oil Union, was now crying out against and endeavoring to subvert and break down the Confederate government: When Mr. Hill concluded, the exeite meur,already at white heat wan increas ing beyond anything before witnessed during those troubleeome time*. Mr., Yancey arose and in a calm, dignified and sell.poiaed manner peculiarly his own commenced, hie reply. He de. scribed Mr Hill an repeating islan ders that hail been tittered against him for the past twenty years ; and - that all which Mr. trill had uttered, had been said innumerable timm before by every third rate politician in the country and continued by saying, 'nature had designed the Senator front Georgia as an imitator; and that he had been cast in a certain die and it was vein to at tempt to enlarge his dimension's. Pallid with rtge,Mr. Hill mounted to him legit, and seizing a heavy s laas ink stand hurled it with all his might and power at the head of Mr. Yancey, which, grazing hie forehead,plowed its way to the skull and passed on its furi ous course, crushibg a heavy windows lacing beyond. Without turtling his head Mr.Yanrey, who wan at the time addressing the speaker, continuing his speech, deliberately remarked, 'it lest ways the prerogative of cowards to strike front the rear.' Enraged still more at this remark Mr. Frill, gather ing a chair, rushed upon his vintage. flint, who heedless of the attack was continuing his remarks ae caemty ss if nothing had happened, when a num ber of senators ititerposing,the difficul ty one ended.
