The case of G. S. Tallaferro. --We hope that our Government at Richmond will have an eye to, and regard for, the case of Mr. G. S. Tallaferro, formerly of this place, but more recently of the Light-house Board, Washington. Mr. T. is a nephew of the late Hon John Tallaferro, of this State, and secured his office, at Washington, under the Pierce Administration, through the influence of leading men of Virginia. We believe him to be true to the South; and the fact that he was making his way to this place when arrested at Port Tobacco, and taken back to Washington, as a spy, according to the Lincoln telegrams, is of itself sufficient to justify our Government in interfering in his behalf, and securing his release as early as possible. All the male relatives of Mr. T. in this section are unswerving in their love of the South, is their valuable services in the ranks of those who are fighting its battles will fully attest. --Fredericksburg Recorder.
