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.
The accused was carried before Commissioner Watson, but as Myers was unable to swear positively to the identity of the party, he was discharged from custody.
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
Counterfeiting Confederates Treasury notes.
--Detectives. Washington Goodrich and Ro. 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.
Several days since Detective Goodrick, who is in the employment of the Treasury Department, was informed that genuine notes, with counterfeit signatures, had been put in circulation by some means, which he was requested to find out.--Becoming convinced that the sheets were stolen by somebody having access to, and a knowledge of, the building, he secreted himself for several nights in the room where the notes were kept, and was rewarded on Wednesday night for his trouble by the entry of the thief, who he immediately grabbed, and found to be a servant employed in the building in attendi

Stealing C. S Treasury notes.

Detective Washington Goodrich has been for some time engaged in hunting up the accomplices of the accused, who, from their familiarity with the Custom-House, were enabled to perpetrate their thefts without suspicion for a long time.

Attempt to pass counterfeit money.
--Yesterday morning Deputy Marshal Henry Myers and detective Washington Goodrich arrested two negroes, named Johnson, (free,) and Carey, slave of Wm. S. Blackburn, of Middlesex, charged with passing counterfeit money.
Johnson presented at the counter of the Confederate States Treasury Department a $100 counterfeit bill for exchange.--Goodrich was immediately sent for, and took him in custody, when the negro stated that he had received it from the negro Goodrich was immediately sent for, and took him in custody, when the negro stated that he had received it from the negro boy Carey, at Camp Lee, to exchange for him.--Deputy-Marshal Myers was sent after Carey, and succeeded in making his arrest.
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
