Shooting of a Home Guard.—This morning whilst the guard consisting of part of a New-York regiment and the Patapsco Home Guard, whose special duty it is to guard the bridge at Ellicott’s Mills, Howard county, were on duty, by some accident or other one of the New York soldiers shot through the breast a Home Guard, named Knight—he is supposed dangerously wounded.
