Confederate States District Court.

--Wm. Y. Hughes, indicted for uttering and passing counterfeit treasury notes, was arraigned for trial before Judge Halyburton yesterday.--The prisoner made a full confession in writing, and his counsel, Mr. Howison, addressed an earnest appeal to the jury on his behalf. After a short consultation, the jury brought in a verdict of guilty, and the Court took time to consider before deciding as to the extent of punishment to be awarded.

Henry Tatum, arrested on a similar charge, appeared and was discharged from his recognizance.

In the case of the Confederate States against George W. McIntire, for the sequestration of property, an order was entered directing the defendant to pay over to the Receiver the sum of $191.92, due by him to alien enemies.

Daniel Ratcliffe, formerly of Washington, and Tazewell Taylor, of Norfolk, qualified to practice law in this Court.
