Charge of Bribery --John Henson, whose arrest, in Fluvanna county, was noticed in our last paper, appeared before Commissioner Watson yesterday for a preliminary examination. It appears that he was arrested upon information lodged by Rufus R. Rhodes, Commissioner of Patents, and Americus Featherman, a clerk in the Patent Office, to the effect that Henson did, on or about the 1st of January, 1862, offer to an officer of the Government of the Confederate States, a bribe, or present, or rewHenson did, on or about the 1st of January, 1862, offer to an officer of the Government of the Confederate States, a bribe, or present, or reward in money, or cause it to be offered, with intent to influence the decision of said officer in a matter pending before him in his official capacity. E. F. Husted, a "patent agent," was arrested yesterday morning in connection with the same affair. The evidence was partly heard, and the parties accused were admitted to bail for their appearance before the Commissioner on Wednesday week. The charges involved have reference to the issue of a patent.
