Contraband caught.

--On the 18th instant our pickets arrested a runaway negro trying to make his way across the Rappahannock river at Banks's Ford. The negro gave his name as Jim, and said he belonged to Dr. Blunt, who lives near Ashland, Hanover county. Jim was received in this city last evening, and was sent to Castle Thunder.
