Examination of Counterfeiters. --A man named Samuel Campbell, belonging to the 9th Louisiana regiment, who lately arrived in Richmond in the character of an exchanged Confederate soldier from Fort Delaware, and William Wright, a soldier, belonging to the 3d Delaware regiment, who was taken prisoner by our forces in the battles before Richmond, were both arrested yesterday and taken before C. S. Commissioner Watson, at his office on Franklin street, opposite the Law Building, to undergo an mpbell, in hopes of making a raise on his return home, had liberally provided himself with the bogus stuff, but unfortunately for himself got taken up on his first attempt to issue a $5 note. The Commissioner sent him on to be tried before the C. S. District Court.--The evidence in Wright's case, which was only partially heard, showed that he had made a number of attempts to pass a $10 bogus note among his fellow prisoners now on Belle Isle. His case was continued until to-day at 12 o'clock.
