Outrageous conduct.
--On Thursday last, as the steamer J. C. Swon, with German soldiers from Cape Girardeau, was passing the little town of Preston, on the Mississippi river, in this county, a large number of the soldiers commenced firing with Minnie rifles into the town, and kept up the unaccountable firing as long as the boat was in reach.
Although the steamer was nearly three-quarters of a mile from the shore, the whistling of the bullets could be distinctly heard by those in the town, and the limbs were cut off a number of shade trees.
Fortunately no one was hurt, but several of the Minnie balls were picked up in the street after the occurrence.
This conduct on the part of the soldiers is perfectly unaccountable, as not the slightest indignity was offered to the boat by any one, nor have we heard any imputation of the disloyalty of the town's people.--Jonesboro' (Ill.) Gaz.,July 6.
