S. service, and Adjutant Mullott and guard had been sent to arrest them and, having discovered them, were about making their arrest, when they turned and fired, killing the Adjutant in his tracts. The guard immediately returned the fire, severely wounding one of them, (Henson Fulch,) whose trial has not yet taken place. The verdict of the Court in the case of these murderers sentences them to be hung on to-morrow (Saturday) in the presence of Gen. Edward Johnston's command, Ewell's division, Army of Northern Virginia. There is no doubt they will expiate their crime at the time appointed.
