Murder of a soldier by a Self-Constituted member of the Provost guard. --A private soldier, named James M. Armour, belonging to company A. 29th Georgia regiment, was carried to the City Hall yesterday, and arraigned before the Head of Police on the charge of having, about 4 o'clock on Saturday, deliberately murdered Edward Dunn, a member of Whittington's Artillery, by shooting him through the body, after assuming, of his own motion, to take upon himself to discharge the duties of the Provost guard in arresting deceased. The evidence given before the Coroner's jury on Sunday, will show that it was a causeless and brutal murder. The same evidence was repeated substantially yesterday before the Head of Police. The only additional facts shown were, that the deceased was endeavoring to get out of his pocket his permit of absence at the time, when, under the pretence that he was laying hold of a pistol, he was so unceremoniously sent out of the world; that the party who gave him au

Called Court. --A Court of Hustings, consisting of Recorder Caskie, and Aldermen Bray, Timberlake, Lipscomb, Regnault, and Gwathmey, assembled at 11 o'clock yesterday, at the City Hall, for the purpose of examining James M. Armour, a soldier belonging to the 20th Georgia regiment, committed for examination by the Head of Police for the wilful and deliberate murder of Edward Dunn, an Irishman, and a member of the Whittington Artillery, from Alexandria, Va. The bloody deed was enacted on Byrd street, in this city, on last Saturday week. The operator in the transaction pretended to be one of the Provost Guard, but the bogus nature of the claim was shown on the inquest. Yesterday, Mr. Daniel, Prosecuting Attorney, appeared on, behalf of the Commonwealth, and after the examination of a number of witnesses conversant with the circumstances attending the murder, submitted the case without argument. The accused was remanded for final trial before Judge Lyons, in September next.
