Saturday night, a quarrel arose between two
| soldiers in the camp of recruits. about two
| miles out of Alexandria, when one of them
was killed by a knife or bayonet in the hands
of the other. The murderer was promptly ar
rested. His name is Hugh NJ. McKillips, a re-
cruit for the I'd regiment Pennsylvania cavalry.
The murdered mans name is VIM. II. De
| pugh, recruit for the 45th regiment Pennsyva-
| mia volunteers. There are two charges against
| McKillips; LIST, assault and battery on Depugh
with his fist, near the guard tent of the camp
of recruits, while in the act of stacking arms;
I'd, stabbing Depugh with bowie knife, near
his death. The deceased expired in about ten
| minutes after the fatal stab, and only had time
! TO request that his body be sent home to his
| friends In Pennsylvania, which will be done to-
day. The murderer will have a court martial
to-day, and will doubtless be sentenced to exc
cution.
