Washington Goodrich, who was published a day or two since as on the way to jail, concluded to give the surety required rather than take up his residence in that disagreeable abode — a fact which we ought, he thinks, to have learned and announced the same day.
Arrest. --A young man named Jas. Tate was arrested in Manchester last evening, by detective Washington Goodrich, on suspicion that he was the person who passed a $10 counterfeit Confederate note on Isaac Greentree's clerk, Moses Myers.

Tate had no other money in his possession answering the description of the alleged counterfeit.
From the South. Before the consignment of the three Episcopal ministers of New Orleans to Fort Lafayette, for not praying for Lincoln, one of them desired a friend in that city to make to the country a true statement of the case. That friend has written a letter to the Mobile Tribune, from which we extract the following: Revs. Leacock, Goodrich, and Fulton, It is known, have been arrested and sent, I understand, to Fort Lafayette. My informant states that the Rev. Dr. Hodges, also of New Orleans, is to share the same fate next week. Why he was respited so long I did not learn. The charge against these clergymen in general is, that they refused to pray for the President of the United States--L e., they, on being ordered by Butler to use the prayer in the Episcopal service known as the prayer for the President and Government of the United States, refused to obey. For this they were apprehended. I understand that they told Butler that they were willing to omit that pr

Craddock arrested yesterday several slaves among them four, named Dick, Oliver, Henry Smith, owned by Mr. Caskie, and Jim Stuart, owned by H. J. Corville, on the charge of stealing blank sheets of genuine Confederate notes from a room in the Custom-House, and afterwards filling up and passing the same as genuine.

The case was examined before Commissioner Walson yesterday afternoon, and it was found that Carey had received the bill from a soldier in payment for a watch, and did not know it was worthless. Having some doubts, from his inability to spend it, of its genuineness, he had given it to Johnson to dispose of, if good. Johnson at once proceeded to the Treasury Department, a

It is reported that Washington Goodrich was captured a few day since near Occoquan, Va., while endeavoring to carry a quantity of contraband goods to Richmond. It required a desperate struggle to master him. He was removed to Washington and locked up in the Old Capitol prison. [Wash.
