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

Withmell was an Englishman, and came to the city on Friday last for the first time. W. S. Carrick deposed: Said Withmell was the last one to come out of the alley. Heard a pistol shot. Col. B. D. Harman and myself helped to remove the wounded man; Harmon had hold of one side and myself the other; we carried him ten steps, when Withmell said he could not go further; he was supported to his hotel by us. After getting him there we took off his clothes and endeavored to persuade him that his wound was not mortal. Withmell died at twenty minutes to 12 o'clock Saturday night. On first getting near Ann Thomas's door I saw three men entering the alley. First met the deceased in Memphis, where Colonel Harman was raising a regiment, of which Withmel
