SHOOTING AFFAIR AT CASTLE PINCKNEY-THE
ORDNANCE SERGEANT COMMANDING BADLY SHOT
BE PRIVATE SoLDIER.-About FIVE O'Clock last
Saturday afternoon, Ordnance Sergeant James
Killen, commanding the small squad of soldiers

vate soldier named Johnson.
AS The NEWS learns, johnson received per
mission to come to the city Saturday NOR ming,
and at noon returned to the fort. considerably
under the influence Of liquor. After remaining
short while he requested permission to 30
TO the city again. which was refused by Ser
geant Killen. Shortly after this Sergeant Kill
len ordered Johnson to do some work around
the tort. which he not only refused to do, but
became very disorderly and threate ened the life
OF the sergeant. At drst the sergeant did not
take any notice OF these threats, but when
johnson threatened to 60 up stairs and get his
musket to put his threat into execution, and
started for the room, the serge mt fol
lowed, hoping to arrest him before he
could secure the weapon. johnson was too
Iapid. however. and got his musket and was
at the foot of the steps leading to his room az
the sergeant came up to them. without sny
parley, johnson aimed his musket and fred.
shs zauzzls being only about three feet from
his victim. u The sergeant endeavored TO seiss
the musket. but was too late; the bullet cut or
finger Of the lett hand which he had thrown
up, and entered the left breast just above the
heart, passing out behind at the shoulder
blade. s s
The wounded man was immediately borne

then looked for johnson to arrest him. but
were unable TO find him. and they soncluded
he had fed to the city. They were correct 60
tar as his Seeing to the city was concerned. Int
y ne at first intended TO make his escape, he
thought better Of 1t, as an hour after the un-
Fortunate occurrence he returned to the fort
bringing . physic,an with him. s5
The wounds Of the sergeant were found to
be OF most severe character. The shoulder
blade was crushed and particles OF the bone
driven into the aesh in all directions. The
finger had to be ampntated close to the hand.
At eight O'Clock gusrd was sent from the
Citadel to arrest Johnson. wiich they did With

BOLD ROBBERY OF THE BUR-
aLARs.-On Friday night, the house OF Mr.. A.
O. Kaufman, No. 81 Tradd-street, was entered
by burglars aud robbed Of swelry and valu-
ab'es. About half-past IL O'Clock one of the
ladies' OF the house was awakened by slight
noise, and struck light, but observed nothing
unusual. In the morning the servants OBJ
served the doors open and papers scattered
about the house. Mr.. Kaufman vas notified,
but was aroused with difficulty and is under
the impression that he had been drugged with
chloroform. On examining the premises it
was found that q trunk had been removed from
Mr. Kau mans room and thoroughly ransack-
cd, the thieves, however, contentiug them
selves with box OF jewelry and pistol. Els
clothes we're also searched and valuable knife
taken. Mr.. Faber's room adjoining was
visited, and a pistol apd watch taken.
After the robbers had secured their booty th v
examined the private papers in the trunk and
scattered them about the house. Having dis
covered some cold chicken and ham IN the
dining room, they deliberately made meal,
throwing the bones on the floor. Tue method
and cooluess exhibited by ths robbers marks
them as adopts in burglary, and their success
will embolden them to future Efforts, while the
city authorities are confessedly unable and in
competent to guarantee security aud protec-
tion to the citizens. Our city has never suf-
fered to such an extent from lobberies, and it
is fully time that their depredations should
cease.
