Alleged negro Thief arrested and brought to Virginia.
--W. M. Brown, Marshal of Nashville, Tennessee, arrived in Richmond last night, having in custody a young white man named James O. Davis, a native of Louise county, in this State, who is charged with having run off two negro slaves, the property of Mrs. Susannah Mills, wife of Andrew O. Mills some time in March last, and selling the same in Memphis, Tennessee.
The prisoner was deposited in the cage last night for safe keeping.
When he was first arrested in Tennessee, the Marshal started with him for Virginia without ironing him. Davis gave him the slip, and fled to Tallahatchie county, Mississippi, where he was discovered and re-arrested.
He was surrendered on the requisition of Governor Letcher.
The Marshal was accompanied thither by W. B. Marshall, Captain of one of the Mississippi volunteer companies.
The prisoner, Davis, is represented to be a cute fellow, "up to snuff" generally, and in swindling particularly.
