Shortly before duak last evening, a. most brutal murder was com mitted in this city, by a prominent physician, DrJ David M. Wright. The victim was lrteuten ajnf A. L. Sanborn, of Company B, First Regi rnejnt United States colored volunteers. The scene where tha atrocious deed - was perpe trated was on Main street, opposite Market Square. A fouapaoy of colored soldiers, recruiter here, was Eaiading under the command of Lieutenant San- rijn. When, passing the large dry goods store of Foter & Co., the remark "dastardly coward" rang Otft upon Ahe.air. I i rrhe Lieutenant immediately halted his cempa- n j and j personally addressed Dr. Wright, who b(f the moat prominent position in the door-way, aiding blm whether he made the remark. A re- tv in i the affirmative waa civen. whereUDOh. - T - - - c a I ifier iirre$t for interfering with an officer who clothed with United States authority. , The inutenant caued upon one ef the colored ser-.l gents to detail a guard and take charge of the dftor.! Almost simultaneously with this order tge, aoctor piacea cis nana in nia pantaioons pocK eXstepped a few paces back, and then advancing tSqk deliberate aim at'the Lieutenant' with a pis tolt firing twoshots, one of which entered the face and the other the breast. l! The wounded roan sprang forward to grasp his antagotiist, but befofe he could get bold of bim he an k from exhaustion, and in a few moments rew his last breath. Tbe negro soldiers became really infuriated at the Bhooting of their officer. 'inner, their bayonets, tney made a rusn ior tne merderer, and would .have pierced him to death lad it not been tor tne intervention oi some wmie officer who were present, Wright was immediately arrested, and under a strong guard escorted to ti.e office of the Provost Mrtbali ii ivey, , where, ne underwent a Jenginy examination. He maintained a nonchalance tru- y remarkable. He evidently gloried in: the deed which be had done. Hia family was. present at the hearing. Several of his daughters stood firm- yrby him, not evincing an emotion or shedding inetf ar, though they could not be ignorant of the ate that awaits their father. When remanded to the guard to be taken to jail, the prisoner was kiss led by his family but not an eye Was moist. During all lait night and this morning he maintained a composure truly wonderful. The crime which he perpetrated seemed to have no weight whatever upon his mind. Just after the perpetration of tbe murder there was a gen eral cry raised for lynch law by jnany who were carried away by the excitement; but cooler coun BeiLpre vailed. The military author itiesasserted that they were the proper tribunal to decide upon tbe - -Til . i . -. enurimvy oi me crime, .ccoraingiy, a mimary commission will at once be convened. Before this reaches the eyes of the reader through the medium of print, it ia likely the sentence of the loulprit will bave been announced, and put into xecuUon. To escape the sentence of death ia not probable. The. few facts that we have gained in relation to tbe personal history of Dr. David M. Wright are briefly these : He is man midway between fifty and sixty years,of a tall commanding stature, hair long and bjlack, BlighJy interspersed with gray. He stud led medicine id one of the Northern colleges, and ; returned to North Carolina, his native State, to practice, lie met with considerable success at jBdedton, where, by the dint of preservance, be ; amassed a great deal of property in land nd ne jgrpes. Since the war he has lost considerable of the last species of property, and this may have, in 'seme degree, exasperated him, when he beheld ! the negro soldiers. ! i About ten years ago he came lo thia city, and iajk once grew into favor with the F. P. Vs., of lirgiui. He moved with an air of considerable importance among thecitizena in hia professional jcpacity, having .an extensive practice. In ad ; dresa he is considered rather plain and unassum -fh. and has always boen conaidered a very quiet than, hot taking an active part in politics. Al most everybody, both Union and- Secessionist, who ia acquainted with bim, express tbe greatest surprise that he should have been the perpetrator elf such a crime. He has a son in the Rebel army who was captured a short time since, and, if we be correctly informed, has lately been ex change d. ' Of hia victim, Lieutenant A. L.Sanborn, we can glean 'but little. About a fortnight since he dame to thia city and called upon Provost Mar shal Bovey, showing properly authenticated letters from Gaheral Birney and other military gentle npen. He was seeking to obtain permission to rjeeruit colored men in this city and Portsmouth fbr the First United States colored regiment. Tfhis was granted, and assistance rendered him to cjarry out the work successfully. Yesterday afternoon he brought out his raw recruits, "parading them through aeveral ,of the principal streets. "When passing the residence of the Provost Marshal, Be halted his company and linen put them through the simDler movernerft in a very creditable manner. The line of march was agaip taken up.and it was not ten minutes from unw ma rrovost Maranal reviewed thorn wnen ne was informed by an Orderly, panting Ivith heat and excitement, that the Lieutenant had been killed j It appears that Lieutenant Sanborn was former., y ia the United Stales service before he receiv ed his pommission as lieutenant.

THE FEROCITY OP THE NEW YORK RIOTBR3 -BRUTALITX OF THE MIL ITARY. No single Incident ia the New York riots better illustrates the ferocity of the rioters than the death of Col.: O'Brien, of the 1 1th N. Y.t who was in command of the military at the point where the . uooosand people took . "7 " . 1 , "J : : e nlirA. This officer waa In command of a body or infantry and two howitzers. In front of him, on Second avenue, the street was densely packed with men, women and children. He gave the order to the cannoniers to fire, and a voiley of canister was sent into the crowd, followed fcy a rapid fire from thA MlnniA riflaa of the infantrv. A number of the mob fell dead in their tracks, including threo or four women, who were looting, on. One we- rnn: and tha child she held in tier armsv were both killed by the artillery.1 The Herald in its ac count sayi: ' ' After 8evera rounds had Jbeen fired the people began to disperse, and the' police proceeded to another cart of the citv. Col.' O'Brien and his cbmmand, however, remained The Colonel dis mounted from his horse and .walked into a drug store. Had the commander of this military force taken his deparure at this time there is little doubt that bis life would have been saved. iaut latamy had destined him for its victim and he was a do m ed man. Col. O'Brien starved in the drug ttore for same few miuutes : it is thought that ho went (D lo get gome refreshments, The crowd were arOUIJd ihe door at this time., j There was scarcely WOrd aooken. but the lowering glances fcf one thousand men looked down in thir vengeful epir it UDOn bm a9 he stood In the doo' He then drew hig sword, and. with a revolver in the other hand, wajked out on the sidewalk inthe very centre of tj,e crowd.

After having been tsrribly beilen.his almost ihanimat body was taken up in the strong arms of the crowd and hurried to the first lamppost, where it was strung up by a rope. A:ter a few minutes the body was taken down, he being still alive, and thrown like so much rubbish in tbe street. The body lay in the middle of tire street, with in a few yards of the corner of 34th st. Nature shudders at the appalling scenes which here took place. The body was mutilated in such a manner that it was utterly impossible to recognize.it. The head was nearly one mass ot gore, while tne clothes were also saturated with tbe crimson fluid of lift. A crowd of some three hundred persons wounded the prostrate figure. These men looked upon tbe. terrible sight with the greatest degree of cpolne??, and some even smiled at the gay object. Our re porter walked leisurely among the crowd which surrounded the bodv. and in company with tbe rest gazed upon the extended mass of flesh which was once the corpulent form of Colonel H F, O'Brien. Notwithstanding the fearful process which the soldier bad gone through, he was yt-t breathing with evident strength, loe eyes were closed, but there was a very apparent twitching of the eyelids, while tbe lips were now and again convulsed, as if in tbe most intense agony. After lying for somewhat of an hour in this po sition several of tbe crowd took bold oi tbe body by the lees, and drazged.it trom side to side of the street. Thia operation was gone through with several times when the crowd again left the body lyme in its original position. Had Ool. O Brien been a man of weak constitution, he would cer tainly have ceased to exist long enough before this time. He was, however, through life, a man of great natural strength, and this fact probably kept him breathing longprkthan would any other com mon person. The crowd remarked this, and watched his every slightest movement with the most intense anxiety. Now and then the head would be raised from tbe ground, while an appli cation of a foot from one of tbe crowd would qVisq the already manaled mass again to the earCu. This conduct was earned on for Some time, and when our reporter left tbe boiy was still lying in the street, the last spark of existence having taken flight. IDLE ALARMS. We observe that some of our cotemporariej are making themselves unhappy over the id. a that tbere is great danger to be apprehended of tbe as sumption or accumulation of power by our Lxec utive. They see signs of such a tendency in this and in that ; and prcof of it ia supposed to be found in even tbe most unimportant circumstances. They thereupon indulge themselves in mock. heroics and voluntary indignation, and they air ihey: pfrtri otiem by declaring that between King Davis and xving .Lincoln they bave no choice. These critics include the one or two really bad, treasonable sheets in our Confederacy, and olber journals that nave surrendered themselves to per sonal prejudices, and to the sentiment of opposi Uon to tne Administration. They see note good in the acts of the President, and, o'f course, readily ascribe to him the most evil intentions And yet we are bold to say that probably there was never less cause lor tne most unfounded accu sation, than for this) tbat never were charity and iustice more outraged than bv the susnicion thnt President "Dayis contemplates any trespass on the laws of his country, and any enlargement of the limits of his cower. 11m whole Administration has manifested a signal respect for the laws, even under difficult circumstances, and when they, were such as to embarrass the public defence. Let those who feel it a luxury to find fault with him, point to one act of disregard of law. Let those who are ready to suspect him of all possible and impossible usurpations, and of a licentious will, point to some single instance' in which he has overborne the Constitution, or grasped doubtful powers; or else let them confess tbat their accusations are ungen erous and unfounded, and worthy only of the pub lic disgust. - It is as absurd as it is offensive, to clasa Presi dent Davis with President Lincoln, in this &a in any other connection. Lincoln has assumed that not his Congress, has the right to suspend I me privilege or naoeas corvua t 4113 Dleasure. . Ihia pretension was' rebuked bv Chief Ju-ai Taniy, but Lincoln cared not.' At his mere wid th& lawa are suspended all over the counfv, and citizens everywhere hopelessly deprived of their liberty, whenever he or Seward chores to "ring the bell" at his right hand or his loft. Pres ident Davis, though under a Constitution whose grants aj-e the same, and with a much more ardu- a "I " luuy" law o nuiu- ous trust to discharce.nret'end t.O fin aniK nnuioi'a I .. . " ," .. . He ha9 never suspended the habeas corpus excej.t uuuor uuiuuriiy oi congress, ana tnen only in imperilled localities, and in great moderation. And yet journalists vex themselves, and attempt to disturb the public, with the idea tbat tbe Presi dent is a grasper after powor and ricts in its exer cise; Weveiily believe and we challenge the record to sustain it that if any people ever bad a model of a Constitution-loving and Constitutror, abiding Executive, we are that people, and Presi dent Davis is tbat executive. Let our eoterrporaries dismiss their unreasona ble and groundless fears ; at least let not our peo ple suffer themselves t be disturbed by them in tbe slightest. If Editors, in. search of sensation articles, or supposing that their independence will be questioned unless they villify somebody ,or that a paper is dull unless it assails the fame of some prominent citiz3Q cho se to hold up tbe Presi dent as cherishing tbe sentiments of a deepot, let their readers remembar that tbere is no fact to jus tify the suspicion, and that it is opposed to the uniform and unbroken tenor of his official acts. President Davis is devoting himself to tbe af fairs of the country with a zeal and devotion that almost wear out his physical frame, and keep his health ev r in dt-licate condition. He can have noreason to inflict an injury on his country, but eminently the contrary. He aska no one to pay better obedience to the laws than be pys himself. He sets us the example in this of a good citizen and a faithful officer. An while thus keeping within the limits of his offitiil powers, he con ducts our affairs with a transcendent ability, and fills his high station with honor to himself and to hia country.

You are aware of the pauses which have delayed an answer, and I need not repeat them. Yo'u inform me of the circulation of a report in such of the North Carolina regiments as have in' them companies from thia Congressional' District, that in the late Congress of the Confederate . States, whilst other salaries, and fees were advanced, I opposed by my vote an increase of the pay of the soldier. And you do me the justice to express your own disbelief of its truth. For your friendly confidence and can dor I feel under strong obligations, as your comma nidation affords me a fit opportunity to notice and correct, the charge. I am at a loss to tnow how and with whom such a report originated, bat not as to the purposes of Jits circulation. It is utterly without foundation and false. My action has been the exact reverse of that imputed. While I voted uaiformerly and steadily. for an increase of the pay of the private oldier in the different forms in which the proposition waa pre sented to the House, I voted against an ndvmioa of Che compansation allowed the employees of the Gov ernment, among other reasons, because of its injus tice to those who are now bearingue hardships jind privations. of active service in the field. ?i - At each of its two last sessions the House of Rep resentatives, by large majorities, passed a bill Yin creasing the pay of privates from eleven to fifteen dollars a month. These bills were defeated in '4he Senate. I supported also a proposition to alio w a commutation in money for deficient rations, wtich was supposed to equal the proposed increase of 9ay.. ai iub mat session nuu near jis ciose, Deiore tae nia- favorable action had ben taken bv the Senate oirthe bill, on motion'of the Hon. Mr. Oarnett, the H use enlarged the appropriation reported bv the Commit tee of Ways and Means, for the support of the army, to a sum sufficient to cover the contemplated increase of the soldier's pay. The Senate reduced the appro priation to tne estimate ot tne committee. The Hciuse, to save the bill, receded from its position,-and agreed to the. amendment of the Senate. On both occasions I sustained the proposition of Mr, Qarnett, voting for it in ins nrsi instanoe, ana against acocding ta the benato amendment, lhese statements are sufficient to show what mv course has been, ia the absende of a published journal, on the subject to which the charges reier. - - . It ia quite unpleasant to enter into such persoaal de tails, having the appearance of seeking popularity by unworthy means; and nothing but the duty I-owe mj8elt aid respect for others, induces me to Notice and correct false and injurious accusations, which, nn . answered, might derive some support from my silence and ultimately force themselves upon the convictions of the public mind. Nor do. I wish to- foster any j v - . s- prejuuioe towards sucn as flittered with me as to the propriety anor policy ol tae proposed measure.
