Richmond Circuit Court, yesterday.
--Judge Meredith presiding.--In the matter of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus of F. Rupricht, continued from Monday, additional testimony was adduced, and the Court ordered his discharge from Colonel J. B. Danforth's regiment second-class militia.
In the matter of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus of William Wingfield, of Hanover county, a bonded farmer, the case was elaborately argued by Messrs. August, Lyons, and Winn of Hanover, for affiant, and B. R. Welford, Jr., for the Government.
The court reserved its decision to a future day. The decision in this case involves that of a number of similar cases pending in the same court, and who will be remanded or discharged as the Judge remands or discharges this petitioner.

The Richmond and Petersburg lines.
Everything was unusually quiet on this side of the James yesterday.

Yesterday morning, our cavalry advanced and re-established our picket posts.
Kantz was sent round to this section of country to cover the retreat of Sheridan's raiders, who, we learn upon good authority, were too fagged and jaded by their long and wearisome excursion to take care of themselves.

We had apprehended that Sheridan would soon be at work on our lines of communication south of Richmond; but from what we learn of the condition of his command, men and beasts, some considerable time must elapse before it will again be fit for field operations.

Monroe, sixteen years old; a dark gingerbread color.
Squire, about fourteen years old, and is a shade darker than Monroe.
