DIDN'T LIKE Ir.-In one square In the Moth
ern Liberties the sympatbizsrs with secession
cluster rather thickly but so unpopular are their
sentiments In that intensely Union portion of the
city, that they do not think II polite to protrude
their views in any way likely to invite publicity
rumors OF the death Of JEFF Davis were sfoat the
thickest, the neighborhood was astonshed TO ind
every secession dOOr-knob heavily draped in black
Grape The energetic manner, however, In which
the strips OF black were torn away by said house
keepers on being made aware Of It's presence, ard
the way they cussed at the " deed Of darkness, ~
Afforded pretty fair evidence that they did not
voluntarily bedeck their mansions in the emblems
OF woe for the supposed be defunct head Of
I" secesb;" but that some mischievous parties had
undertaken the job In their behalf.
WORD OF CAUTION Last night number Of
gentlemen were talking very excitedly at the
corner Of Seventh street and Louisia ana avenue
and the subject Of their discourse was the i'm
proprety Of officers Of the army taking objection
able females to places Of amusement. II was said
by them that an oficer had taken two to Odd Fell
lows Hall, and walked In with one on each arm
Should such charge be proved, the ofacer at fault
would certainly lose bis commission.
We may add that IL would greatly astonish the
good wives, sisters, daughters, mothers, and
sweethearts at home Of many of the volunteer
omcers, could they see the sort Of female compan-
ionship said officers indulge in so openly and IN
blushingly In our streets and elsewhere.
RECOVERY OF JRwEL-Last week a soldier
Of one Of our volunteer regiments paid a visit to
notable house " by the way side" In the Seventh
Ward, where were congregated large number Of
verv lively females, who appeared to be passion
ately fond Of wine and young men with well Allied
purses. The soldier made a reconnaissance of the
COMPANY and decided IN IN hO yxyaS a
little tpsy, and whose iewelry was particularly
attractive. He so far succeeded as to obtain from
her finger ring valued at $3.50. She discovered
her loss when the soldier had left Detective Off
Ger Alien was sent for. and he managed to recover
the ring from the soldier. The owner oltbe pro-
perty was satisfied to recover 1t, and leave the
purlOiner to the punishment he will receive in
camp, ana did not prosecute further.
A SOLDIER KILLED--On Sunday, about noon,
at the camp Of Colonel Young's reg iment Of Ken
lucky cavalry, soldier named Henderson shot
another named Walter with a revolver while the
latter was performing guard duty. Walter fell
at the feet Of Sergeant Jos. II. Bryson, officer of
the day, who had to exert all bis decision to pre-
vent an outbreak in the camp, which he was en-
abled to do by his GOODNESS and hrmness He
disarmed Henderson and had him arrested imme-
diately. Walter was shot under the rie BIT ear and
the ball lodged on the left side Of his jaw. He
was conveyed to the hospital, and there Is but
little prospect of his ultimate recovery.
PETTY LARcESIEs Petty thieves have grown
quite bold within few days, and complaints Of
toe loss OF small articles from the fronts Of stores
hats, umbrellas, &c, from passages and clothir z
from drying lines are frequent. The police will
probably be pretty busy during the hrst weeks Of
service In detecting the petty thieves and recover
will not require much trouble to discover them
and the thieves are Of class not hard to capture
