LsQCIAIi M&TTEBB.i_f«r-«r.--Short_y after 1 o'clock yaatarday

artaraoon, PhlUp Sautter, proprietor of the"Wise Legion House," a drinking saloon,corner of .nth and Main streeta, waa shot inli is own bar room, from the rlterts of whichhe died in a few momenta. A large crowdseofl collected at the place, enger to see thedying rutin, who lay stretched upon the floor,pule and ghastly, with a bullet woun 1 in hisleft breast-, and it was not until tbe arrival ofofficer Perrin, who speedily caused the houseto be cleared of the idle throng, that anydelinite particolars of the tragedy conld beobtaiaed. It appear* from statements madel»y various parties that a man named Fritz.Kreibel was employed as cook at Sautter'shouse, ami had been discharged, after whichhe ened Sautter for $11, sU-eged to be theamount of wages due him. John r. Lehmone, bar-keeper at the establishment, waasnaimoned aa awitneaa to prove the debt,and the trial of the caee wee act for the 15thof r'ebruary- The three met in Sautter'ssaloon yesterday, and Lehmone and Kreibeltook several drinks, when it ia probable thatthey got into aqnarrel about the matter abovealluded to, which resulted in the murder ofSautter.

After the shooting. Kreibel haatily took hisdeparture, and has not yet been apprehended;but Lehmone waa arreeted by officer Perrin,and is now in custody. Acting CoronerSanxay held an inquest over the body ofSautter, and we append a portion of the teetimonv elicited: ______

A. T. Snmmerfielddeposed that he had juatcome in the bar room with hie lientemuit,and this man (John E Lelujonel and the manshot (Sautter) were niwrr_-i___T- Some wordspassed between Sautter aud Lehmone, whenSautter gathered a club and tame towardslivni Tbe lieutenant ordered witness to en-deavor to get Lehmone away. Witness etep-ped tip to him aud took him by the right arm,when the pistol went oft' behind them. Heknew positively that Lehuioi.e did not lirethe pistol. Witness is a private in Captainl'helps's company, Wise Legiou.

Otaer witnesses deposed that they were inthe hack room eating oysters when tney hoardsome ..uarreling.'aiid prisoner struck deceas-ed who went behind the bur and came back .with a stick, when a pistol was tired. Pris-oner then jumped ou the man who waa shotand commencedbeating nim.

Louis Ortteuboali deposed that he came toSautters about half-past nine o'clock aud gotbreakfast, after that, priaoner and Fritz camein aud took several dnnka. He went qpt, andwhen he came back prisoner had off his coat.He called Sautter from behind tbe bar; hecame with a club in his hand. Priaoner struckdeceased, when witness saw Fritz raise hisband and saw the tiaab. Knew that flash pro-ceeded from the direction of Fritz's hand.Did not think ihe prisoner was much intoxicared.

John I>- Perrin, who arrestedLehmone, de-poeed that he heard there was a man in therow named Fritz Kreibel; that a yellow beyin the "house said he would know him, andwitness asked the boy to go with him to looklor Kreibel. Prisoner then said there waa nouse to go after him, aa he shot the deceasedhimself. The prisoner previously told witnesathat he had a fuas with the deceased, and thatdeceased struck him; but he did not shoothim.

A. T. Suiumerlield, recalled.?Deposed thathe heard prisoner tell officer Perriutbat therewas no use to ;;<> alter Kreibel, that he shotthe deceased.

The coroner's jury rendered a verdict thatPhilip Sautter came to his dnath by a pistolshot tired by Fritz Kreibel or John I_. Leh-moue.

Yfsterday, at half pa-st 12 P.

We steadily auvanced.every man nt qu__rtera, every ear strainh_ tvcatch the U«K ofttcer's signal gun for the com-mencemeut ot the action. Our line of battlewas on the left of the St. Louis, next theUarondel--, next the LinciunaU, (for thetime being the ftag-ebip, having on boardFlag-Officer Foote,) and the next the _-ssex.

We advanced iv line, the Cincinnati aboat's lengthahead, when, at half-past eleven,tbeCincinnati opened the Dull, aud lminediately the three accompaujiug boats followedsuit.

Ths enemy was not backward, and gav_ anadmirable rtsponse, and the tight raged furi-ously for bait anhour. We steadily advanc-ed, receiving and returning the storms olsbot and shell, wheu, getting within threehundred yards of tbe euemy'a works, wecame to a stand and poured into him rightand left. In the meantime the __ssex hadbeen disabled, and drifted away from thescene of action, l.aviug the Cincinnati, Carondelet, and St. Louis alone engaged.

At precisely forty minutes past one o'clockthe e_.emy struck his colors, and such cheer-ing, sucn wild excitenieni as seized theihivata, arms or caps of the four or fivehun-dred sailors ol the gunboats, can be ima-gined.

After tbe surrender, which was made toFlag-UU-cer Foote by General Llyod Tilgh-man, who defended his fort in a most deter-mined manner, we tound that the rebr<i iu-fantry, encamped outside the fort, number-ing tour or five thousand, had cut and run,leaving th* rebel artillery company incommand of the fort,

them thirty-twoaud thirty-four pounders,one being amagalflcent ten-inch columbiad.Our shuts di.mounted two of their guvs,driving tbeenemy into the embrasures. Oneof their rifled thirty-two pounders burstduring tbe engagement,wounding some oltbeir gunners, 'ibe rebels claimed to bavebut eleven ettectivu guns, worked by fifty-four men?the number all told of our pri-soners. They lost five killed and ten badlywounded.

OASCO2IADB.The infantry left everything in the fight.

A vast deftl of plunder has fallen into ourbands, includina a large and valuable quan-tity of ordnance stores.

Gen. Tilghman is disheartened. He thinksit one of the most damagingblows of the war.In surrendering to Flag-Officer Foote, therebel General remarked, "i am arlad to sur-render to so gallantan officer." Flag OfficerFoote replied, "You do pefectly right, sir, insurrendering-, but you should havebluwu myboats out of the water before 1 would havesurrendered to yon."

She got thirty-one shots, some ofthem going completely through her. TheEs.-cx w.if. badly crippled} when about halfthrough the fight, and crowding steadilyagainst the enemy.
