NUTISoUs CosDUCT.-People who know
ao,hing of the sailors life have a very faint
idea of the trials and dangers incident to it,
There is grea, deal of turbulence and obsti.
macy and disinclination to discipline and obe-
dieGce amoGg seamen, and in no occupation OF
life is there O more imperative necessity for
discipline than that of the sailor. Ii is inds
penoable. Therefore it is that the officers oi
vessels are compelled to enforce it and to oct
with tie greatest promptness and courage.
Their very lives, as we'll as the safety of their
vessels, depend upon this. We find in the
Norfolk Beacon of Tuesday the following
paragraph, giving a slight. idea of the exigen
cies an officer oil a vessel is sometimes com
PEELED to meet:
Seven men who were shipped in Baltimore

Roads, were put on board that vessel Saturday
last. The mate allowed them the day and
night to themselves, but on Sunday ordered
them 10 do certain necessary duty. This they
positively refused TO do, aud on being told by
the mate that he would shoot the FIRST man of
them who did not obey bis orders by a certain
time, one Of their number stepped up to him
and with great insolence dared him to try the
first shot al him. The mate, having first done
what lie could to avoid him, took him at his
word and blazed away, the ball striking him

OCT from the Top OF his head, doing no severe
injury. The example, however, had its effect,
SAID our informant, and the whole party in
stanuy went TO work.
