Indictment found.

--The Grand Jury of the Confederate District Court was in session on Saturday, and had under consideration the case of George W. Elam, who stood charged with forging and passing counterfeit Confederate treasury notes. The case has been so often alluded to that no further reference is deemed essential at this time. The indictment was voluminous, embracing 24 closely-written pages, detailing the operations of the defendant in all its stages, so far as known to the prosecuting attorney. The legal result of this labor was 19 counts — each and all of whom might be considered dangerous to the peace and welfare of the defendant. The defendant, Elam, was indicted on several counts of the above indictment. The Court sits to-day.
