Lamentable affair
--We learn that Capt. Charles H. Axson, of South Carolina, was killed last Tuesday evening, near Wilson, North Carolina, on the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, by Arthur B. Davis, of the Second Georgia Regiment.
The main particulars of the affair, as we learn from eyewitnesses, are as follows:
Capt. Capt. Axson, en route for Richmond, was bringing with him some watermelons and fine tropical fruits, as a present to distinguished friends in Richmond.
davis while intoxicated, cut open several of the melons and crushed others.
He afterwards approached the Captain and offered as an apology the remark that he was drunk, to which the Cap that he was the person alluded to, stepped forward, and was shot in the breast by Davis when very near him. Capt. A. died instantly.
Davis was arrested.
Capt. Axson was the commander of Company "M, " First Regiment South Carolina Volunteers, which returned home a few weeks since.

Nurses for Virginia.
--An instalment of nurses (thirty in number,) are now on their way from New Orleans to this city, in charge of Drs. Warren Stone, and Axson, of the Crescent city.
They will be distributed on their arrival, part remaining here and part going to Culpeper Court-House, to attend to our suffering wounded there.
A number of Southern ladies, as well known for their unselfish devotion as personal worth, position and means, start with the above, intending to devote their services to the same patriotic work.
Dr. Warren Stone, one of the physicians who accompanies the nurses, is one of the most favorably known and distinguished members of the medical profession in the entire South.
As a surgeon, his reputation is unrivaled.
