arty outside of St. Louis. But the capture of Camp Jackson and the ruthless killing of men, women and children by the German Home Guards forced him to change his position and offer his services to Governor Jackson for the defense of the State and the protection of its people. A few days later the governor announced the appointment of the following brigadier-generals: Alexander W. Doniphan, Monroe M. Parsons, James S. Rains, John B. Clark, Merriwether L. Clark, Nathaniel W. Watkins, Beverly Randolph, William Y. Slack and James H. Mc-Bride. All of them were men of note in the State and devoted to its interests. Four of them—Doniphan, Parsons, M. L. Clark and Slack—had seen service and distinguished themselves in the Mexican war. All of them received orders to enlist men in their respective districts and get them ready for service in the field. Recruiting went on rapidly in the populous counties bordering on the Missouri river, and volunteers, organized and unorganized, poured int

Graham--at the store of Milton Williams, near the corner of Broad and Mayo streets, which resulted in the stabbing of the former, whose injuries terminated fatally next morning. The murderer fled, and has not yet been arrested. The fact was made known to acting Coroner Sauxay, who held an inquest on Christmas day, and the jury returned a verdict that Robert's death was caused by a stab in the left side, inflicted by Sidney Robinson. On Tuesday night, two free colored boys, named Beverly Randolph and John Henry Ashby, apprentices to Robert Francis, barber, got into a playful controversy about a knife, which the former had in the shop, where they were employed, on Main street, below 17th. Beverly first rapped John on the head with the knife, but this had no effect, and finally he thrust it into his left side, whether intentionally or by accident, must be determined hereafter. The boys were good friends, and had no previous misunderstanding. John died the next morning, and Beve

Napoleon Reminger, a drummer boy, connected with one of the New Orleans companies at Manassas. He came down to Richmond to spend Christmas, got on a big bender for so small a specimen, mistook himself for a horse, and went to sleep in Sutherland's stable. The Mayor sent him to General Winder with a recommendation to investigate his spiritual condition. David Bum, a German, might possibly have mistaken himself for a "bum" shell, so well was he loaded on Thursday night; though we can only learn that he mistook E. F. Ragland's kitchen for his own lodgings, and disturbed the peaceful slumbers of the colored people on the premises. He was arrested, and the Mayor yesterday required him to give security to keep the peace. Beverly Randolph, free negro, is under arrest upon the charge of killing John Henry Ashly, another negro, and will be examined by the Mayor this morning. The charge against a young man named Reynolds, for assaulting a negro girl, was dismissed yesterday.

Charge of Homicide. --A free boy of color named Beverly Randolph, was arraigned before the Mayor on Saturday, upon a charge of killing a fellow-apprentice, named John Henry Ashby, at the barber shop of Robert Francis, on Main street, below 17th. Robert Francis testified that on Christmas Eve Beverly was waiting upon a customer, when John asked him for a knife, and he soon afterward learned that John was stabbed. Beverly said he did not do it intentionally, and was only "projecting" (i. e., playing) with John. This was about half-past 10 o'clock on Tuesday night, and the boy died on Thursday morning, between 1 and 2. Wm. Phillips testified that he was in the barber-shop on Tuesday night, and Beverly was waiting upon him. John asked Beverly for a knife, and the latter replied that it was "up yonder; don't be fooling with me." Another boy pointed to where the knife lay, and John reached up for it; but Beverly got hold of it, and the other tried to take it from him Beverl
