Arrest of a mail Robber. --We understand that the mail-carrier between Campbell Court-House, Marysville, and Green Hill, has been arrested and committed for the crime of robbing the mails. For some time letters containing money have been missing along this route, and many remittances from the soldiers to their friends in the county have never reached their destination. Suspicion rested upon the mail-carrier, whose name is Jackson, and Mr. John Sweeney, the efficient postmaster at Marysville, set a trap to catch him. A decoy letter, containing a five dollar bill and twenty- five cents in speele, carefully marked by him, was deposited in the Campbell Court House Post- Office, directed to himself at Marysville. The trick was successful; the letter did not come to hand, and when the carrier was arrested this identical money was found upon his person, together with letters for various other parties.-- Lynchburg Virginian, 28th.

nsburg to Dam No. 5 on Thursday, leading to the impression that some officer of rank had been killed there. Sylvester Stonebreaker, a resident of this precinct, but who was arrested and made to take the oath of allegiance by General Nagley last summer, made his escape into Virginia near this point, last night. It is stated that this man gave the enemy intelligence that a large force under General Banks was preparing to cross at Williamsport and march upon Winchester, probably inducing Jackson to make the recent demonstration upon Williamsport. Reports from Union men on the other side state that during the gallant repulse of last Tuesday by two companies of the Indiana 12th at this place, eight rebels were killed outright and twelve wounded. Your correspondent was kindly furnished with recent copies of the Virginia Republican, published at Martinsburg, and a Richmond Dispatch, of the 18th, by private Meissner, of the Indiana Twelfth, a Hungarian patriot and refugee.
