Habeas Corpus.

--A man named Henry L. Martin was carried before Judge Meredith Saturday, on a petition asking to be released from imprisonment on the ground of illegal detention. Martin was arrested here a few weeks since as a suspicious character, having then lately resigned an office under Lincoln, which he held by virtue of taking a so-called oath of allegiance to that personage. A rumor prevailed here that his object in coming to Richmond was an office; hence his arrest. Judge Meredith refused to discharge him.
