Stealing Treasury notes.

--Yesterday a negro fellow called David Hams, appeared before C. S. Commisaioner Watson to answer the charge of stealing a large number of unsigned $1 Confederate notes. The evidence proved that David had been sent to the establishment of Hoyer & Ludwig, where these notes were printed, to carry a message, and on leaving was seen to have a bundle under his arm. As these notes had been purloined at various times, David was at once suspected, and Detective Goodrich was put upon his track. Mr. Goodrich followed David to Dum's music establishment, where, on examining the umbrella which he had when at Hoyer & Ludwig's, was found a roll of the sheets concealed in it. The sheets recovered were one hundred and twenty five in number, amounting in the aggregate to about $1,000.--After hearing the case, the Commissioner sent, the accused on for final trial before Judge Halyburton. These unsigned notes were doubtless to have been prepared for use by some skillful pensman, and but for the discovery of this theft, would by this time have been ready for circulation.
