On Saturday afternoon a number of soldiers, from different companies, collected in that disreputable quarter of our town, known as Wolfstown, and for some cause, that we have not been able to clearly ascertain, made an attack upon a house occupied by a colored man named Frank Jones. The windows of the house were broken in, the doors forced open, the stove upset and the colored man and his wife knocked down. In the melee Jones discharged a gun the contents of which wounded two of the soldiers in the legs. The cry was then raised to "kill the nigger" and he immediately fled from the house going out of the backdoor and crossing the lots in the direction of West Market street. When his flight was discovered a Lieutenant in one of the Pittsburg companies, attached to the Seventh Regiment, who had arrived on the ground, called for "six good men" to follow him, and led off in pursuit of the negro. The soldiers pursued the man to the residence of GEORGE EYSTER, Esq., on Federal Hill, where they found him concealed in the kitchen chimney.--They dragged him from the chimney but assured the lady of the house, Mr. Eyster not being at home, that they would do him no harm, that they intended only taking him to jail. This we believe, was the sole intention of the party who first arrested Jones.--They brought him down the yard until near the gate, at the lane leading to the barn, here they were met by the Lieutenant who had given chase from Wolfstown, who ordered the men, who had hold of Jones, to stand aside when he instantly discharged his revolver into him, the first ball striking him in front of the body. Jones then turned and made for the fence, when four other shots were fired at him, from the same pistol, in rapid succession, the ball striking him in the back. While this was going on one of the soldiers was beating him over the head with a heavy club. He fell on receiving the fifth shot when a number of bayonet and sword wounds were inflicted upon him. He was a long time dying while the Lieutenant and the soldiers stood around him and would not permit any one to afford him any relief.

A large and excited crowd soon collected at the spot and threats were very freely made to burn the body, quarter it, &c. Several shots, one of which accidentally struck a soldier in the right groin, inflicting a severe wound, were fired, at the dead body. Mr. Eyster, upon whose premises the body lay, and who is Prosecuting Attorney for the county, obtained a company of soldiers from Gen. WILLIAMS to keep down further disturbance and to have the body removed. This company was marched to the spot where the body lay but through the order of a subordinate officer was marched back and the body suffered to remain on the ground exposed to further mutilation. Mr. EYSTER then, with the assistance of some citizens, removed the body to the jail and had it locked up. 'Squire Hammond summoned a Jury of Inquest and a post-mortem examination of the body ordered to be made. This duty was assigned to Drs. HAMILTON and BOYLE who on Sunday morning made a thorough dissection of the body at the jail, and before the Jury of Inquest described the number, extent and character of the wounds on the body. It appears from their testimony that there were twenty wounds in all, six being bullet wounds and the balance incised and contused wounds. One of the shot wounds in the back was described as having passed through the shoulder blade and through both large cavities of the heart and lodged in the breast bone in front. Another of the wounds was described as a sword wound passing through the arm, entering the chest, breaking a rib, and then deeply penetrating the lung. After the examination the body was laid out in suitable grave clothing, placed in a coffin, and sent home to the family of the deceased, who had it buried on Monday forenoon.

The soldiers wounded by Jones are in the Hospitals of their respective regiments, and their injuries, though severe, are doing well. The soldier, accidently shot, it is also thought will recover from his wound.

We understand the finding of the jury implicates four persons in the killing of Jones. One has already been arrested, and warrants are in the hands of the proper officers for the arrest of the other parties implicated.

We purposely refrain from mentioning names, or making any comments that would excite or prejudice the public mind against the parties envolved in this unfortunate occurrence. It would be highly improper to do so as the matter will undergo a legal investigation, and the accused will be dealt with, not as public opinion, but, as justice may determine.

The particulars of the affair, as we have given them above, are mainly derived from the evidence taken before the Coroners jury.
