SHOOTING IN THE CRY LIM1Ts.-The
practice Of shooting in the city limits has
become too prevalent Of late for the comfort
Of our citizens. A few days since some
careless boys were practiciug shooting at q
mark with revolver in the eastern district
of the city, and one of the shots glanced
nd passed through window of house
some distance away and fractured the arm
OF Mrs. Barber, poor and respectable
woman, the wife Of VIM. Barber. There is
severe penalty for shooting of guns or
revOlvers within the city limits, and we
trust that our efficient city marshal, will
bring all such offenders to account hereaG-
ter, whether they be 'LOysl Leaguers'
practicing to shoot "Copperheads," or
merely sportsmen dischargiDg their piec.

The rebels have built numerous addi-

About seven thousand troops from the
North have landed on Morris Island dur
ing the past week.
a letter dated the 10th says:
Gen. Gilmore hasae.n titled Admiral
Dahlgren that he will be ready to CONS
mencc the attack OF the 18th. The navy
is ready, and fighting will commence that
day. The greatest confidence is felt in the
fall Of Forts Sumter. Wagner and Cum =.

A deserter from Fort Wagner says two
thirds Of the guns have been removed
from Fort sumter aud mounted on James
Island-thst tha fall of Sumter is regards
cd BY the rebels as certainty he dam,
age done in April by the monitors, rem.
dering it hopeless to hold it. This desert
er also says that Sumter was on the point
of surrendering when the monitors with.
drew.
We are Smelling night and day. Fort
Jchnson keeps up brisk FIRE, and our
wooden gunboats run in every day and
shell the rebels.
On Sunday next we will certainly hold
Sumter, and within a few days succeed

CONSUMPTION I'm NIassa chuse,,,

Massachusetts has been made a yerv
sick State BY DR.. Lincoln administering to
it a dose of CONSUMPTION. As the French
man, with bis show. said of the monkey.
"he is dem'd SICK" 90 can it be said Of
Massachusetts,. Seven out Of ten of the
males between twenty and forty-6ve are re.
ported to be unable to perform military
duty. and two out of three Of the we'll ones
pay their three hundred d,lla.s, and stay
at home, while the one-tenth that are
sound in body and feeble in purse run
away. Such is the picture given of Mas.
saehusetts under the CONSUMPTION.
16An Eastern paper says that, so far,
more men have been sent from the armies
in the field to guard conscripts than the
whole number of conscripts obtained.

The AboIltIonIsts to be Armed.

Ths-PToslamation which we publish to-
d.y from the Adjutant Generals Office Of
this State, to our minds, displays the pur-
poses of our State authorities.
The evident design is to arm the Loyal
League associations, as any one can see
by a perusal of the Adjutant Generate
proclamation. These dark lantern" orr
CARNATIONS are to be armed ct the pubic
expense for the purpose of perpstusting by
violence if need be, the present imbecils
and corrupt dynasty in power. We have
copy of the constitution and BY laws Of
the Leaguers in our possession, by which
We learn that it is military organization
in every sense Of the word, the officers and
enrolment corresponding with those of our
regular military companies. These enid
night" companies will have the preference
as they are already organized and the Adju-
tant General had this in bis mind when he
issued his proclamation. The arms, of
course. will be placed int their hands, and
when the people organize companies and
apply for arms they viii be told that there
are none for them.
That we have plausible grounds for the
above statements, was proven the other
day at the AdjutaDt Generals Office. An
application was made BY gentleman from
Fayette county, Democrat, and Of course,
patriotic loyal citizen, for muster rolls
for the organization Of company in that
county. The question was put to him by
an employee in the Office, care you IN.
ion MANI" The reply was II have shown
my devotion to the Union, sir, by service
in the army" When apolOgetically, the
! Adjutant Generals attacbe remarked that
"the Office was not doing much in the way
of granting such privileges to Copper
heads"
This conversation between the employee
Of the Adjutant General and the Fsyette
county man, though triaiug in itself, is
nevertheless of vast Importance to the peo
pie Of Illinois, as it shows what may be ex
pected il the future. 1t shows that the
purposes of our State authorities is to arm
the A5olitioGists, and thus to inaugurate q
civil war between the parties in this State
The "COpperheads 'ss alluded to by tn g
Adjutant Generals employee, as every one
understands, means Democrats, for accord
ing to the Interpretation of the highest
Abolition authority, all Democrats those
who do not sanction all the acts and meas
ures of the Administration-ar Copper
heads"
Now, we would warn the Democracy oil
A1nOis-compOsing as they Go a majority
Of the fee white men of the State-to be
on their guard. Eternal vigilance is the
price Of liberty" and if the people of Hi.
nois who do not believe in free negroes and
King Abraham, would preserve their rights
let them prepare for the emergency. Let
them orgsnize companies under the Adiu.
tant Generals call, and ask for arms tn
same as the Loyal Leaguers. If they are
refused, which is probable, if We judge
from the complexion of matters about our
State Offices, then it will bsboove them to re-.
ly upon their own resources to defend their
constitutional rights.
