SHOOTING on THE WISG.-It IL astonishing
how stubborn young spOrtsmen are to believe
in the principle that il is necessary to fire in
advance Of a distant flying object for the pur-
pose Of killing it. They persist in the foolish
notion that almost on the instant Of pulling
trigger the shot reaches the object aimed at
Many years ago was among that stubborn
class, until convinced Of error in a simple and
extraordinary manner, which relate for the
purpose Of endeayoring to impress upon my
readers the importance of this fundamental
principle was out shooting one day, in the
month Of October, in large turniP field. with
my dogs and gun, when brace Of partridges
rose at the distance OF fifty five or sixty yards;
they few rapidly to the right, in direct line,
one behind the other, at . space Of about two
feet apart took deliberate aim about two
inches in advance Of the leading bird and fired;
when to my surprise, the hindmost bird fell
dead, and the leading one, which was the OBJ
ject Of my aim, few away untouched. At the
moment felt so astOnished at the result that
/ could not recover myself soon enough 10 dis
charge the other barrel at the bird which had
hown away. On picking up my bird, I found
that Eve shots had struck il in the head and
neck; so that my aim, which was at least tive
feet six inches in advance Of the bird killed,
was not any too much at the distance and rate
at which they were fying / felt 90 forcibly
the erroneous principle upon which had
made nv own error, that felt az if curtain
had risen before me aud exposed the true
secrets Of the art Of killing cross shot. And
can truly assert that this simple but singular
discovery did more towards improving me In
the art Of shooting, than all the advice and
Instruction had received from practical and
venerable sportsmen. Some Of my sportins

The DisllniOn Cry,

While the Opposition press and speakers o
the South are denouncing the Southern Demo
crazy as Disunionists, we hear but little com.
plant from them of Black Republican aggres
sion. Bptteo frequently we hear Abolition fan
aticlsm excused Or attributed to the conduct Of
southern members Of Congress. How often dc
we sethe growth Of Black Republican sentiment
ascrlbed to the passage of the Kansas Nebras.
ka BIZ, the repeal of the Missouri Compromise
and tho Lecomf ton Bill, the measures which
were voted for by the Democracy aud the large
majority Of the Southern Opposition. We arc
glad to see that there is at least one Bell, and
EVERETT organ in the North that feels that the
Union has more immediate danger to fear that
from Black Republication than from Southern
Dslm q We commend to the BELL organs
o. the South the following from the PHILADELPHIA
Journal, which supports the candidate Of the To-
norers %

that the compact of confederation will be yir .
t1ally and practically broken lust as soon as
the whole power Of the Federal Government is
transferred to the hands of political partv
that Is altogether geographical in organization
and principle. The fact of Disunion will be
accomplished before q single southern state
can take the irst formal step towards secession,
In other words, the whole south would he, in
effect, turned out of the Union, by being denri-
veg OF any share in the government of the
