Possibly this gallant corps would not finch AZ
the smell Of gunpoWder, but can they staHd snsis
shots as the following, fred from the columns ns
tie Louisville Democrat?
The hlinutemen don't quite comprehend the
meaning of drill. The only definition that they
can find is that it is a bore. i
We heard with great terror that there Is one OF
the Minute men-of Louisville who kills man every
month. OF course it is unnecessary to say thai hs
is medical man.
There are said to be two hundred Minnie men iay
Louisville, and it takes each Minuteman an holT to
dress. There is danger from them. They are
Iouaves, whose chief exercise is getting ont Of bed
in the morning, and making q considerable diHplay
Of 'ssmall arms"
There may be some mistake in the rurnor that
there is a company OF Minute-men in Louisville
No one has seen any respectable man who ae-
knowledges to belong to it, and there is sly rHmur
that it is the old order of " Do. Nothings,n whose
arms We're jackass rampant on oval shield,
representing cypher.
We learn that the drill of the Minnte-men IS cor
sidered very difficult Every soldier is required TO
put on his breeches, one leg at q time, without
touching the bedpost. Some of them, with the
assistance Of nurse, are very successful u is
called exercises in storHing hreeches, and many
of them undertake it as a % forlorn hope.n
The Minute men of Louisville propose to have a
cavalry drill. Each member, :. irrespective Of
party is required to practice an hour each day
on broomstiek--oiicers a roeking-hoTse as
general thing, they could not safely strattlie d
horse, If they were split like pair Of tonss, To

A REMISIseENGE.-The man who decaptated the
fgurehead of jackson, on the frigate Constitution,
in the Boston harbor, is now in that city. The head
was sawed off, it will be recollected, one stormy
night some twenty-four years ago, and no one on
board was any the wiser until the figure of Jackson
was discovered to be headless in the morning
The perpetrator of this act was then the mate of
n vessel. He is now engaged in business in Yir-
gina. We have his card before us, which affords
convincing evidence that he still glories in the act
In addition to his name, it bears sort of coat of
arms, consisting of large star in a circle, between
the rays Of which are number of smaller stars,
emblematic, we suppose, of night. Within the
large star is an eye and saw, with the motto,

BURGLAR SHoT.-This morning, about half past s
o'clock, negro named Sam, about % years old,
the property of a Mr. Taylor of Wayne county
Miss, was shot in the act of burglary in the store
of Mr.. Robbins, on Royal street. opposite the Fac
tors Press. The store had been entered from
rear window, about three weeks ago, and again
Saturday night, and suspicion attached to sam,
from the fact that he was familiar with the prem
ises, on which he had formerly been employed.
John, a servant of Mr.. Robbins, was left in the
store, and supplied with a loaded gun, In the
morning he was awakened by Sam stumbling over
him, and sprung up, when a seuffle commenced in
which Johns thumb was badly bitten. He extri
Of two bullets and quantity Of buckshot, took
effect in the abdomen and chest of Sam, who ran
up into the loft and fell dead. 1t is said upon what
authority we do not know, that Sam was ''run off'
from Mississippi to escape punishment for burglary.
His fate will probably have salntary effect upon
the numerous fellows of his character with whom
the city is infested. Coroner Rousten held an in
quest upon the body at 10 O'Clock this morning.

melancholy to think that it has so many FAULTS aud
in particular that the distress tuFns chiefly apon
embarrassfnens with which no lawyer can sersDnsly
sympathize. There are several striking flaws ia
this drama. In the first place, Antonios dif6enl-
ties arise entirely from his gross oversight in not
efecting an insurance upon his various argoslef.
He should have opened set OF policies at once
npon the Rialto, where marine insurance was per-
feetly well understood, and where the brokers'
would have got him fifty names in q forenoon to-
any extent upon ship, freight cargo, lost not
lost. This prudential step would have given to-
tally different tnrn to the whole affair." When he
wanted to help Bassanio with three thousand dncatS
for three months, he could easily have raised the
money at four per cent. on the security of an as
signment of the policy. Shylock says of him.,
" Antonio is good man, yet his means are in sup
position: he hath an afgosT bound 70 Tripolis, an
other to the Indies understand, moreover, npon
the Rialto, he hath third at Mexico, fourth for
England, and other ventures he has squandered
abroad. But ships are but boards, sailors are but
mem there be land rats and water rats, water
thieves and land theves-I mean pirates; and
then here is the peril OF waters, winds and rock.
Now, these are the very risks which the contract
Of insurance il intended to cover, as is clearly ex-
planned in Marshal and other writers, and SIS ex@
pressed in the following clauses inserted in all Poh
cies g Touching the adventures and perils which
the said assurers are contentedt to bear, ami TO take
upon them in this voyage, they are of the seas
en-of-war, fire, enemies, pirates, roYers, hieyess
ettisons, etc., barratry OF the masters Mariners
and of all other pers, losses and misfortnnes that
have or shall come to the hurt, detrinent OF darn
age of the said goods or merchandise, and ship or
vessel.n With this precaution, Antonio's means
would have been no longer in supposition but in
certainty, and as good as hard cash, under dednc-
tien, merely, of the premium of insurance. Finally,
when intelligence was received of Antonio's argo-
sizes being wrecked, it is plain that he might, IN
these circumstances, have at once abandoned 10
the underwriters and claimed for a total loss. Is
is painful to see so many amiabie characters ins-
and natural expedient would have obviated N.Y.
feelings at this reflection are something akin 10
those of very susceptible medical friend who de-
clares that he can never sit out Romeo and Juliet
from the thought that judcious use of the stofn-
ach pump in the last scene, would remove all the
distresses, and make two lovers happy.
