The Counterfeiting case.
--Harvey Wash, the person who was arrested on Thursday, charged with passing a counterfeit gold piece on Perry Jones, and having $507 in spurious gold coin in his possession, was arraigned before the Mayor yesterday.
Without commencing an investigation of the case, the Mayor continued until Wednesday next, and the accused was remanded to jail.
Messrs. Crump, Nance and Williams appeared as counsel.
Wash was for many years a resident of Hanover county, where he held the position of Constable, or Sheriff.
He now lives in Appomattox, to which place officers have been dispatched to make a search for more counterfeit money and coining implements.
We understand that he claims to have received the money from a drover, in payment for hogs.
Whether he will be able to establish his innocence or not, remains to be seen.
At present, matters look rather serious for him.

The counsel for the accused--Messrs. Crump, Nance and Williams--announced their readiness to proceed, and the witnesses for the Commonwch he alludes.
I afterwards went to the house of the prisoner, in Appomattox county, and found there a porte-monnaie, containing $12.50 in coin, which I supposed to be spurious, but Mr. Pairo has pronounced nine dollars of it good money.
Perry Jones.--Saw the prisoner on New Year's night. He asked me to change a $2.50 gold piece, and I did so, giving him silver in exchange.
This is the piece he gave me. [Exhibited it.] The next morning I ascertained it was not good.
