A soldier shot.

--About six o'clock on Wednesday night, a soldier, named James Clark, a member of company B, Twenty-fourth Virginia cavalry, was shot and instantly killed in the lower part of Rocketts. Parties living near by heard the report of the pistol; but, owing to the frequency of firing thereabouts, they did not go out of their houses to investigate the matter. A short while afterwards, some cavalry came riding by and discovered the body lying on the ground, a lifeless corpse, when Coroner Little was sent for, and, upon examination, found that the ball had entered the right side of his nose, passing out at the back part of his head. The body was removed to the residence of his parents, near the eastern suburbs of the city, from whence it will be buried this morning. A jury of inquest was summoned yesterday morning, but, for reasons deemed satisfactory to the Coroner, was adjourned over till to-day.
