Unlawful shooting.

--On Saturday night, while Peter Padractti was pursuing the even tenor of his way on 11th and Cary streets, a man in a sky blue coat approached and discharged a pistol at him, and made use of most fearful expletives, which were quite enough to alarm a peaceful citizen. The strange individual, who was soon afterward arrested, gave his name as William Leftwich. When arraigned before the Mayor yesterday, he represented that he was a soldier on furlough, and was quite oblivious when he performed the deed which he now deeply deplored. The Mayor remanded him for indictment.
