Horse stealing.

--James H. Miller was arraigned before the Mayor yesterday to answer the charge of having in his possession a valuable horse, supposed to have been stolen. Lieut. Carter, by whom the accused was arrested, testified that Miller was riding a fine iron-gray horse, and attempted to get away from him at the time of his capture. Miller says the horse belongs to Capt. Wyatt, of the Albemarle battery, and that he came by him in a legal manner. The horse was branded "C. S.," and within a few days past another "C." had been placed above the "C. S.," to make it appear that the animal had been condemned by the agents of the Government. As the horse is said to be worth $1,500 at this time, it is not likely that the last "C" has been properly applied. To enable the prisoner to show his innocence, the investigation was adjourned until this morning, at 9 o'clock, when the witnesses should be present.
