Arrest of a supposed spy

--A man giving his name as Dr. Grossed was arrested on Monday, in Bedford county, and brought to this city, charged with uttering seditious language, and being a Lincoln spy. He was carried before the Mayor, when he acknowledged that he was a supporter of Lincoln, but denied that he was acting the part of a spy; that he was a Northern man by birth, but that he had purchased a farm in Fairfax county where he was now residing. He is a very shrewd man, and is calculated to do the Southern cause a geat deal of harm if allowed to go at large.--He was detained by the Mayor for further examination.--Lynchburg Republican.
