Murder of a Confederate officer--cold blooded Assassination. --On Saturday night, about 11 o'clock, Lieut. J. O. Withmell, G. S. A., was assassinated in an alley on Cary street, between 14th and 15th streets. The deceased was an English man of highly-respectable position, and is represented to have been a brave and efficient officer. At the earliest stage of the war he commanded a loyal company of soldiers in St. Louis, and resisted the rule of the Yankee Gen. Lyon, (who was afterwards killed at Pen Ridge,) for which he was forced to fly from the city, though not before having exchanged shots with the invaders. The particulars of this cold blooded murder are furnished in the evidence given below at the inquest held over Lieut. W.'s remains at room No. 218 Exchange Hotel, to which place he was carried after receiving the fatal shot. The deceased was the son of an opulent merchant in London, and leaves a wife and child in St. Louis. Charles S. Miller deposed, that six or

o the cage, as persons of evil name, fame, and reputation. The men gave the names of Wilson Williams, George Grase, Benedict Howard, John F. Peregey, Edward Lightfoot, John Harrison, and Frank Gillian. The women registered as A. E. Thomas, Mary Jones, Lissy Hodges, Maggie Clark, Lucretia Bywaters, (alias Sue Price,) Sarah Smith, Mary Davis, Emma Marsh, Nellie Porter, and Jenny Barnes. Early Sunday morning the cage being too crowded, most of the prisoners were sent to the city jail. The unfortunate man who was shot was known as Capt. J. O. Withmell, and hailed from Louisville, Ky. After being shot he was carried to his room at the Exchange Hotel, and Dr. Conway called in to attend him. The ball was found to have been received in the back, and was extracted from the surface of the abdomen, having passed through the body. After lingering in great pain for seven hours, Withmell breathed his last about 10 o'clock yesterday morning. An inquest was subsequently held by Coroner Sanxay.
