Another Shooting Affair.

About eleven O'Clock night before last, as Mr..
J. NJ. Thompson, with his brother, with their
dwelling, in Nietger's alley, between N and o,
and Sixth and Seventh streets, they were &C.
costed by several United States regulars, who
offered tho Messrs. Thompson money to buy
The soldiers threatened, II they did not, to
knock their brains out; upon which the Thomp.
sons ran into their house. The soldiers fired
eight or ten shots In the house and that adjoin.
ing. The elder Thompson went to the window
and looked out, when ball grazed his cheek.
His brother then fred into the crowd, which
began to retreat, firing rs they ran. One of
the soldiers, private Matthew kenney, COmpa.
with ball, which passed out at the pit of his
stomach, producing a very frightful wound.
He was taken into Cissel's drug store, where
his wounds we're dressed by DR.. Butt, and was
afterwards removed to the Inirmary. At a
late hour last night his recovery was consid
cred extremely doubtful.

Incfdellt nj tha q m rd- I,


Iwsh TO relate al incident that witnessed
fow days ago at the guard.house. An Off.
Ger Of the army entered and inquired of the
officer of tho guard, If he had not in his pos.
ses sion private of the twenty.six!h Pennsyl.
vania regiment. The private was soon pro-
duced-a man of forty, of the Emerald Isle.
How came yol here sir" interrogated the
officer. The man abashod at meeting what
now appeared TO be his colonel, stammered
out the confession that he had managed in
some way to escape from his regiment, to get
n dram" OF course the deeotable rot gut
made Patrick obliviOus to all terrestrial things,
and our yiglant city patrol gave him quar-.
ters In the guard.house.
"You have left your home and your friends"
continued his colonel, " to come here TO fight
for your country; and now is 1t not too bad to
think you have disgraced yourself, your coun-
try, and your regiment, by such conduct
What would you think, and how would you
feel, II your colonel was to do 30? Would
you like following such colonel to the field
of battle? No, you would not. Just think OF
your conduct. 1t is too bad, too bad" The
manner of the Colonel was at once that of the
gentleman and the Christian. The erring pri.
vate was subdued.
Overwhelmed with sense of shame for
himself, and respect and lore for his colonel, he
humbly promised never, neUer, to bring upon
himself, his colonel and his country, such dis.
grace again. And he neuer tciH, at least while
under that colOnel's command.
The practical reelection from this little Incl.
dent, for which mainly have brought it to
