Admitted to Bail.

--The case of Mr. Edw'd. H. Craige, who had been arrested as a person inimical to the rights and interests of Virginia, was called before the Mayor on Saturday, when sundry witnesses testified. No circumstance was brought to light tending to criminate him, though the examination was continued till Tuesday, in order to allow the production of two Commonwealth's witnesses whose evidence was deemed important. It indue to Mr. Craige who has been conducting business here in selling sewing machines for several years past, to say, that he proved a most unacceptionable character, both as a citizen and man of business. Andrew Johnston attorney at law; Wm. H. Benson, tailor; A. Bargamin, Jr., Dr. John P. Little, James D. Brown, Wm. Booth, N. C. Barton and others, testified in his behalf, and the first-named entered himself as surety ($500) for the appearance of Mr. C. at the next examination. It will sometimes happen that in the endeavor to ferret out and expose enemies of the South. (of whom there are too many in our midst,) cases of individual hardship and injustice (by reason of misdirected suspicion) will arise.
