prietor of a drinking saloon on Cary street,
was summoned before the Mayor yesterday, to
show cause why no should not be fined for
keeping his house open after ten o'clock on
Tuesday night, contrary to the ordinance
made and fkovided. Mr.. Ford said his estab-
lishment had been broken open by parcel OF
men who helped themselves to anything they
pleased, and that he was perfectly powerless to
do anything to cause them to desist- They
had previously gone to the "CyT rams Re

The Talk about Improved Arms.

been some improvement, we question whether
the exsggerations of their value have not done
more harm than good. They have held men

The poor devils from Ohio and Pennsylvania,
who three to one, fought our troops at Phi
lippi, were armed with Minnie muskets; yet
most of their balls lodged in the trees. The
improved arms Of the Massachusetts Regi-
msnt, which was mobbed in passing through
baltimore. were no match for the improved

OF the battles Of modern times have been as
destructive Of human life as those which oc-
Cured before the invention Of gunnowder
when men fought with swords, spears, how'
and arrows. &C., and trusted in themselves in
stead of their weapons. And Notwithstanding
al the improvements in cannon and muskets
the slaughter in the late Italian war was no
to be compared to thai in some of NAPOLEON
great battles, before any of these so-called i'm
provements had been made.
The truth is, the old Virginia rife, the old
fashioned musket, the doublc-barrel shotgun

bent on fight as any weapon that may be used
1t is not the weapons, it is the men who US
