-'practicing physician to Allegheny ; on the
evening of the 7th of March was called upon
to see deceased at Mllllken'e drug-store, who
'had been cat ; he was sitting in a chair at the
back pact of the skirt ; had a wound near the
centers:if the chest, in the left aide; the wound,
in his opinion, caused death ; deceased died in
fifteen minutes after receiving the wound ;
• a knife with a sharp point would:make such a
wound. blade a past mart.. examination at
the residence of deceased's mother. The knife
found on Sims was shown to the witness, and
he stated that the wound could have been
made by that knife.
Wm. G. Stubbs testified to having seen the
difficulty on Federal strtht, on the evening of
the murder. He described .the disturbance
previous to the cutting, during which Sims
was knocked clown and beaten by two men.
He afterwtrds saw an open knife in the hands !
of a young 111312 who was pointed out to him
as Sims. He did not see anybody etrack with
the ladle. He identified the prisoner as the
- man who had the knife, and nob° same per
eon who was arrested by ctffieers Will and
Gabby.
On orors-examintalon, the witness stated
that the prisoner was very drunk when he first .
saw him—what might be called " staggering '
..drunk."
Mr... Marshall asked the witness whether
the defendant was in his right mind—that is, '
In the Posieution of his faculties—when he
was flouriliung [hake& about?
The witness replied that the tuitions of the
man indicated that he was very drunk, but
there was nothing extraordinary about -his
actions. He behaved. as most other drunken
men. His conrersation,was jumbled up, and
he was staggering about, ena very much ex
cited.
•
Mg, Sweats-welder then proposed to ask the
witness as to the character of the drunkenness
of the defendant. Whether be was stheity
drunk, stupidly drunk, surgyering/y drunk, or
merrily drank ; or whether his drunkenness
wee a combination of there four characteris •
ties ?
District Attorney Kirkpatrick objected,
and the Court remarked that it would be pro
per tointerrogata.the witness as to the mans
: festations of drunkenness, as they el:he:trod to
him at the time. The witness could not be
, permitted to give his opinion as to the charac
ter of the drunkenness.
- Mr. Marshall—How drunk was he, Mr.
Stubbs?
Mr. Kirkpatrick—l object.
The witness continued—He appeared to
have been drinking for the previous throe or
&a hours, and wee vary drunk.
Mr. Marshall—Did be talk intelligently
Witnesel can't say that he did.
Mr. Harahan—Did he talk as a man of
sound memory and discretion ?
Mr. karkpaniek--I object.
The interrogatory. was then submitted In
writing, and the District Attorney appended
his objection.
The Court sustained the objection maidly
on the ground that the question was calcula
ted to elicit the opiaten of the witness rather
than the forte from which the jury mast de
temine the degree of drunkenness.

the mother of deceased ; (the shirt which the

Death of a Soldier of the 102 d Dee-
.Michael Mullen, Orderly pergeant of CO. D,
139th Reginionl, write* to Its friends in Alle
gheny, informing them of the death of hia
brother, Jambe Mullen, of Co. A, 702 d
Regiment. - lle says "James was wounded
on the 6th of May, having been shot in
the right hreast. The ball want en
tirely throuili the lung, and lodged near tho
opine. I was with him, and did everything in
my power to save him, but in vain. Be died
on the 141, at Chary'? Grove. I attended to
him and helped to dig his grave. We
buried him with all the rare we could.
I marked his grave with a head board, con
taining his name and the number of hie regi
ment. He lies within the enemy's lines, but
his body can 'be procured when wanted. I
will forward the body when I got an oppor
tunity to do so. He was sensible when book
pired--calied me to his side and raid he was
going to die."
Serg'L Mullen states that he was a prisoner
in the enemy's lines, but he got out on the
10th, the day after his brother's death, and
marobed to Fredericksburg on the 11th.
We have above a, simple but melancholy
record of-the death of a brave and worthy
soldier. Alas I howanany hundred such in
stances yet remain to be recorded I The de
ceased au a noble -bearted young man, and
the intelligence of bliddeath causes bitter sor
row to his widowed mother and his numerous
friends.
But a few days ago he left this city with
hie gallant comrades, and as he took leave of
his mother at her own threshold, hie last
words were: "I do not expect aver to return
alive, but I am willing to offer my Ufe for the
the sake of my country." /hue he seemed to
have a strong presentiment of hie death, but,
like the true patriot and soldier, he never
shrank from duty, but nobly resigned himself
to his fate.
More Troops.
Another regiment (the 160th)of Ohio "hun
dred day men" passed through this city last
night. It was commanded by Lieutenant
Colonel Blake, and numbered 960 men. It
was raised in the upper tier of counties of
Ohio, and. was composed almost ezflosively
of men from the country districts. It has
seldom been our lot to lee a finer body of men
than the Ohio Militia who have passed
through this city during the past week. They
were well drilled, thoroughly armed, and
enipped, and exceedingly quiet, and well
behaved.
We have been informed by o gentleman
from that State that the very best men of
Ohio compose the National Guard—they mak
ing it a point of honor to go when called.
After partaking of the hospitality of our noble
Subsistence Committee, CoL Blake made a
very eloquent speech, thanking the Committee
for their kindness to bin men, &c. He said
that the meal was doubly acceptable, as they
had had no rations for two days. Ha
then paid a glowing tribute to the patriotism
and generosity of the citizens of Pittsburgh,
alluding very feelingly to the many brave
men from this city whose blood consecrated
the different bottle fields of Virginia. He
closed by proposing three cheers for the Sub
sistence Committee, which the men gave with
a will, and then repeated them—Ladding many
a "God bless you" as they passed out of the
We hope to bo ablo to refer more folly to
the work of the eubelstenee Committee for
the laze week.

Those persons were at once armed with car
