The Hon. Marquis ID. Moore, representative
from the lid Assembly District Of Kings County,
after holding Mr.. Nesbitt's two-cent ferry bill
ander consideration from the first week In JAN
aAry till the middle Of March, is said to have
got four votes out of five in the Committee OF
which he is Chairman to report against il, al
though no perssn has yenteued to Say word
aesinst the bill, before the Committee. This
measure is to establish permanent rates Oh al
the ferries between Wallabout Bay and Bush-
wick Greek, WILLIAMSBURG. The bin Limit the
passenger fare TO two cents, the SUN now
charged, and ia designed TO protect the pubic
from the future freaks Of the Company, who
have charged from six 70 twenty-five cents for
teams and from balS cent to four cents for foot
passengers. The bill is strongly urged by SIessTs-
Fisher, Nesbist and Provost Of the Brooklyn del
eeation, and is ~ reasonable and just IN its pro-
visions that it ought to pass. A minority report
in its favor will be made. The measure is gen
orally desired by the City ofwilhOmsburgh, which
nov has a population Of nearly 100000. and we
can see no just objection against it. At the
same time, the Legislature viii do wen to insert

AN ENORMOUS OUTPoURING OF VOLUNTEER
TROOPS IN ILLINoIs.-A letter in the Chicago
Tribune, from Springfield, Illinois, says:
The events of the last week have enIivened

ment, surprising in interest the period when
the hrst call was made for troops Thousands
OF the sturdy SONS of Illinois, who were disap-
pointed in the frat and second calls, now rush
In their claims for the supposed requisition on
Gov. Yates for additional troops No more
practical test of the patriotism Of our citizens
could be presented than the fact that already
a sufficient number of companies have been
rendered to form twenty five infantry regi-
ments, five additional regiments of cavalry,
and seven or eight battalions of artillery still
they come The Governor has exerted himself
to have each arm of the service accepted, and
his endeavors are likely to prove highly sue
cessful. All of the regiments he has rendered,
and that may be accepted, it is his purpose to
encamp and equip at the earliest practicable
period; and in addition to the stroag force to
form part OF the grand amy under Fremont,
Illinois will be creditably represented in that
OF the seaboard under Gen. Mcclellan"

sympathy for the cause They will fight for the

have the feeling that II II had rot been for South
Carolina there would have been no necessity for

Their oats are unharvested; their other crops are
still immature; they have no hands to work them
but their own, and 10 Is truly matter Of serious
Inconvenience and injury to be obliged TO turn

A SLY DEvIcE-EqUaito to "NoBody Hurt''
1t Is suggested that the usual emblems of exter-
nal mourning be dispensed with by those who
nave lost relatives who were bravely sustaining
their country's right, and in this met witt
glorious death. The reasons for the sugges.
ton are, that ii would give our street and
churches distressing and gloomy aspect, that
many families cannot afford Ii, and the loss OF
father, husband or brother, is not, under the
circumstances, cause for that bitterness OF
mourning which attends the ordinary dispense.

FEDERAL ENROAoHMRNT -EsMoSr KEY OCCu-
PIED By LINCOLN TRooPs s.-The Florida Peninsu-
lar, July 10th, says:
From reliable source we receive information
70 the effect that the steamer Cuyler, blockadiny
this port, has landed 30 or 40 men, with three Is-
PouLders, on EgmOnt Key, who have erected a
battery on the east side Of that island
Our readers will not be at less to account for
the causes whic Induced this movement on tue
part OF the enemy, when we inform them that the
portion Of the smack Wilbur,s crew who were
Permitted to leave here, for Key West, on Friday
OF last week Of going directly to the latter
place, ran alongside the Cuyler, Immediately
after which the troops and cannon above men
toned were sent ashore
We hope that this affair will serve TO make our
Commander more cautious In future In allowing
persons, whom he JdOss not know be "sound on
the goose, TO go In the direction Of Key West, or
In the nelghborhOod Of the block kading steamer

tice can be carried on indoors aHd without any
instructor, with the most evident and speed v
results. The kneeling position ought to be
practiced so as to become one of comfort, Gin
which a man may SIT on his heel, shave and
read his newspaper"
After this, twenty rounds are fred by the
recruit as preliminary ball. practice, and then
he is brought to the target for his regular
class s-shooting, which is the test of the manner
in which he has profited by the foregoing in
strGction. Each section of ten men is taken
separstely to fire at the targets, and each man
fires in succession, with every provision for his
individual comfort and success. This actual
practice at target is not so much for instruction
as to test, and therefore the instructors at this
point cease to give minute directions, but leave
the faults hitherto uncorrected to be spoken of
at some less exciting period. Each man fires
only FIVE rounds at each Of two ranges, or ten
rounds in one day, by which hurry and care
lessness are prevented. As there are twelve
distances, or ranges, it requires six days to go
through the individual practice" After this,
there are still three days fer file, volley, and
skirmishing practice. So that only about
ninety rounds of bsll-cartridge are expended
in improving and testing the shooting of each
man instructed. This, with twenty prelimi-
nary rounds, twenty blank cartridges. and
twenty caps snapped, constitute the whole
ammunition consumed for a soldier-recruit's
course of musketry.
The men are differently ranked, as first
second and third class, according to their
marks, and the first and second-class men are
trained to fire at three and feur hundred
yards without the back sight.
AS to the effect produced in June, 1855, a.
squad Of thirty-fve taught soldiers fred ten
rounds esch a; a line Of targets representing a
front and rear company, thirty files in each,
OF column fifty yards deep. The wind was
violent, and the men were exercised in march
ing and other drill, so as to disturb their stead
iness. The distances, unknown at the time,
were between $50 and 820 yards, and tho re.
suit was that 379 hits were made in the first
line of targets, and 233 in the second line; 80
that out of lose shots fred, there were 6I7
hits, or 5s per cent.
This, 1t may be said, was not in the heat of
battle, but in General Wyndham's action at
CaWnpore it is related that a company of in
fantry, being pressed by about seventy Sowar
cavalry, fired single volley at them and emp
tied every saddle but one. Colonel Wilford.
OF the Hythe School, says that if at 900 yards
you lay down a table clUtb Fifty yards sIuare
he will engage, with a company of taught SOL
diers, to fill it with balls, and a regiment of
