SHOOTING AFFRAY.-An excitement,
which at one time threatened to result IN
something more serious than a row, dis
turbed the peace of the inhabitants re-
siding at the lower end of Main street, on
Sunday evening last, about 10 o'clock,
and terminated in the shooting Of a citi-
zen BY a soldier under the following cir
cumstances, as near as We can ascertain !:
Some soldiers and one or two citizens had
in the barre Of the Smith
House, a German hotel, situated near the
levee, and were there drinking and smok-
ing, when difficulty arose between sol
dier named Morrison and citizen named
McQuinston as to who should drink first.
Loud words ensued, when the soldier
drew a revolver and fred, the ball striking
McQuinston just below the thigh, infict-
ing very severe flesh wound, the ball
passing around the bone and within a
quarter Of an inch OF the main artery. At
ter the firing the soldiers dispersed
DR.. Seaton was called and extracted the
ball and dressed the wound, which he
says is not dangerous, and the man was
taken TO his home. The soldier, we un-
derstand, is now confined in the guard
house.

DWELLING HousEs.-We refer to this
matter again. for like the darkey we think
it is best to keep the subject agitated
until something is done to remedy the
evil, and one from which our city is suf-
fering. The cry daily in our ears is the
scarcity of houses to rent, and as far as
tenements of moderate size and acoommo-
dations are concerned, We can exclaim
with--a much pathos as one Of our ex-
changes, "the rich can live in lordly halls
and the the poor man in hoveis, but the
man to whom the prophets prayer has
been granted, who has neither poverty
nor riches for an inheritance, finds no
mansions suitable for him."

HELP THE VETERANS.

jackson township lacks quite large mum
Der yet Of being filed. and every ono will
have to exert himself in the cause of get
ting recruits to his utmost or we shall
have to suffer the disgrace of draft
Help the Veterans, then, We say. Every
gallant veteran who returns to us from the
hardships and dangers Of the front comes
back as recruiting Sergeant, and most
earnestly do most of them labor in that
capacity. These men having served faith
fully and honorably until their term of
enlistment had almost expired, see and ap-
preciare that one more struggle is needed
to secure the success of all their previous
struggles, privations and hard fought bat
ties. lie has, therefore, nobly volunteer
ed to meet the emergency for "tbree years
or during the war" trusting. rs We all do,
that sfor the war" is for q much brio fer
period. He has come home to spend a
short furlough with those who love him
and honor him, not only for his deeds of
courage at the battles front, but because
by his patriotism and self-devotion be
has earned the name of Veteran
The first meeting Of long absent friends
being over, his mind at once turns to the
depleted ranks of his regiment and he
longs to see them filled up with fresh and
vigorous patriots willing to endure the
tolls and hazards of the camp and field,
and he sets himself TO work to secure that
object and as he shows how fields were
won and tells bis tales of battles, sieges
&c., it touches . chord in others that
throbs responsive to his own, and thus his
old friends and companions are induced
to join him in this last campaign for lib
erty and an undivided land. No more
effective workers could be found than
these men, and most heartily should they
be supported by all at home. Nothing
could give them more JOY or better as
surance Of the sympathy of the people
than prompt cooperation in this work
In this way not only will the army be re-
inforced and the soldiers encouraged, but
the draft lightened and avoided. In this
way the veteran may also be enabled to
take back to his regimen. the most &C.
cep.able recruits for the depleted ranks
of his fellows in the field. Then let our
people "make hay while the sun shines"
BY improving the opportunity afforded
by the presence of the veterans for has.
tening up recruits. for every fresh recruit
will be looked upon by the veterans as a
fruit of their own devotion to their
country and an assurance Of coming sue
