The case of Capt. Philip Cashmeyer.

--The charges preferred against this individual have not yet been officially examined into, and therefore the exact nature of the offence which he has committed is not fully known. It is the opinion of District Attorney P. H. Aylett, who has had possession of the documents which Cashmeyer slipped into the hands of one of the Federal prisoners sent North by the flag of truce boat which left this city last Monday, that they contain nothing which can convict him of treasonable designs towards the Confederacy; but that the orders which he was endeavoring to get to his friends related simply to the great trust which had been reposed in him by the Confederate authorities, and were intended to increase their gratification at his getting along so well here.

The German letter which has been so often alluded to has been gotten through with by the translator, and is said to contain a narration of the many kindnesses which C has bestowed upon Federal prisoners here, the ob which is alleged to have been where he is, in compliance with the request of Gen. John H Winder, provided with a separate apartment, and a little better accommodations than the balance of the prisoners enjoy.
