A REMEDY wANrED-Editor Star: Since 20
our forces, allow me, through your columns, to
call attention to one Of the most dslgreeable and
at the same time dangerous practices OF the voun-
teer force now in and around this city allude to
the unlawful, unnecessary, and | am sure (by
their Oficers) unauthorized discharge of firearms
In the Corporation limits, and In especial In the
streets The foundation (unfnished) Of the new
Episcopal church on the corner Of Fourteenth and
N streets is now and for some time has been, q
regular target for ball practice with guns and pis
tolls, by soldiers Of different regiments; and In no
less than two instances under my own eye have
the contents Of heavily loaded musket fallen In
the front-door yard lin one case going into the
house through a window Of a resident Of that
vicinity. There can be reason for this, as
there are plenty of places for ball practice the
vicinity indicated, where the women and chill
dren, as well as the citizens generally, would not
be endangered. In the writer's own regiment no
one was allowed to discharge firearms without
regular target ground, and before twelve O'Clock
at noon. This thing ought to be stopped; and II
will be, no doubt, on the attention Of the proper
persons being called to it. Yours respectfully.

SEIZURE OF LAGER, BRANDY AND OLD BouR-
BON, IT THE LONG BRIDGE.-Y esterday, company
b, (Seventh Massachusetts, Regiment) under
Lieut. J. ID. Bullock, made some pretty extensive
seizures at the Long Bridge, where they were
stationed, OF liquor, on Its way across to the
camps Amongst other packages" intercepted
were ten barrels Of lager and ale cases Of Cham
hpan s.zl.-
brandy, (confscated from the colonel Of German
regiment;) barrel Of porter; ID bottles Of Bour-
bon whisky; bottle of common whisky; and
do common brandy good deal Of the liquor
was TAX n from officers, who cussed some at tneir
supplies being cut of, but all to no purpose One
key Of whisky, by the way was taken from Gov
eminent wagon No 81.
The PRovosr GUARD-The SQUADS detailed for
service under the orders of the Provost Marshal
attract much attention as they march from street
TO street In performance Of their important duty
The prompt but courteous manner In which they
stop the passing officer and soldier and inquire for
bis permit, the quick certainty with which they
sd@, sies. wne1 excites the continual
Guard house were last night filed with soldiers
most OF whom were arrested the night previous
Tor neslecting to obey the general orders to the
letter. The guards also arrested several propTie-
tors Of lager beer saloons for selling to soldiers
These will probably be turned over to the civil
authorities to be dealt with according to the pro-
OF tue law.
Miss ELIZA KEY BAxrER.-This young lady,
who appears before the public in this her natl We
city as reader Of Shakespeare and other poets,
mas received tue warmest commentator Of the
press in the northern cities, where she made a
most favorable impression.
She is young, graceful and progressing, and
ner DARK hair and brilliant eyes give fair effect
TO her Evolutionary efforts. Her countenance In
unusually mobile and expressive, and her manner
quiet and unOstentatous
She will give readings in the parlor OF the
National Hotel tomorrow and Wednesday even
lngs, and Will no doubt draw crowded rooms
See advertisement.
BREAD FOR THE TRoors-We notice at Fort
Runyon that four more large ovens are being
built for the subsistence department in addition
to those already there, and that the suDply Of
fresh bread for the troops will be largely in
creased thereby. Lieut.. e. Watson, Fourteenth
Infantry, young but experienced officer, is As
sistant Commissary Of Subsistence at that post
The ovens at Alexandria are now baking enough
bread for the supply Of the troops in that vicinity
Many OF the regiments on the other side, how
ever, draw -four and have 1t baked In Wash
ingtOn.
GONE TO SEE HIS DAueHTERs-A friend Of Mr..
Joseph n Daniel asks to say In reference to
tue mention Of his having gone down to Dixie
that his there is for the purpose Of seeing
his daug hters at II untsyille, Alabama. This com.
mendable paternal feeling on the part Of Mr
Daniel seems to have addressed Itself with such
force TO the Beauregadian heart that the bars kept
up usually with such vigilance were promptly let
down In his case, and be permitted to 90 on his
way rejoicing to see his daughters at Huntsville,
Al bama.
WITH commendable consideration for the
wishes Of our pleasure seekers, Wyman has con-
cluded to extend the limit of bis magical exhibit
lions until next Wednesday night In the mean
time none need fail to improve such opportuni-
ties FOR witnessing the Profe wonderful feats
A peep In at Odd Fellows Hall to-uig bit should
not be missed on any account
