Davis, who has for 4 number Of years occu-
pied the position Of agent at the freight sta

Railroad, had partial examination before
Justice Brown, upon charge Of dcfalcation.

which has been appropriately Davis in small
Sums from time to time, extending through a
period Of two years. We understand that a
further examination will be waived By his
COUNCIL, md TINT he will be held to bail for

tent the confidence and respect Of the Com-

peeially 30 by marriage.
RUSAwAYs.-A horsc attached to milk
wagon caused some little excitement on Mon
roe street yesterday morning, By leaving the
wagon, cans, and milk in different places with
a degree Of looseness very unpleasant to the
owner and the people i'll tho vicinity. Wcbe-
1ieyc no other damage was done.
Another horse, attached to an express
wagon, started from Randolph street down
Clark, about haHpast eleven o'clock, scatter
ing pedestrians in every direction, and kick
ing and plunging in The most vicious manner.
At Lake street he charged upon covered
bakers wagon, pretty nearly demolishing it,
and then, wheeling, sprang upon the stone
sidewalk and fell, where Lie was secured, The
hair-brcadth escapes were numerous.
REs1GNEp.-We have learned with great re
gret that Captain Augustus Koyats, of the
24th Illinois Volunteers, has been compelled
to resign his commission, in consequence Of
wonfus received in the fight ut Battle Creek,
Tennessee, whilst brayely leading his men.
The Captain was one Of the most thorough
and efficient of our officers, having previously
ecrrcd in the Hungarian Army. Being shot
through both thighs, his recovery has been
very slow, and, though the wounds have
healed externally, he is still unable to ride or
walk, except with great pafnfulness. In him
the Army loses one of lis brightest ornaments,
perfect gentleman, and most competent
officer We hope soon to sec him again in
the field in higher position, such as he is so
well qualified to ill.
