Singular case.

--A citizen of Fluvanna county, whose name we withhold for the present, was brought to this city yesterday morning, by Bailiff Henry Myers, of the District Court. As near as we can ascertain, this arrest was made at the instance of an officer of the Confederate Government, who alleges that a bribe, or reward in money, was offered him to influence his decision in a matter pending before him in his official capacity.
