Ye&torday morning, a land agenf of Bt. Louis, K. W. Dennison, E-.q., arrived in this city and made two informa tions against Nicholas Wslton, the gov eminent contractor arrested hero on Thurs day. One charges him with false pretences in pretending to one Major Allen (Quar* ter mas ter at St Louis,) that he bad tilled a certain contract and was entitled to a sum of money amounting to $ 1,000, when i a fact he was not entitled tc any part of it; that these pretences were made to defrkud Gjutd, Ohase & Grote. The other charges him and the woman with conspiring to gether to defraud the firm named by giv* iu , her the mouey so obtained and repre* seating it as her own. Walton says he-does not know the firm of Gould, Chase «& Grote ; his sureties vnre Wm. H Carroll, a Mr. Wood and B As Lasseter, none oi whose names ap 1* Hired in the government contract. He mtes that he had nothing to do with tbo measurement of the wood and that it was ft!! paid lor except about si t ;>Oo. lie ex uil', however, in having placed hm money, a? ho says, **nbe. fc .d id lue hounds,” out says he ha? loft more tbsr, ijb.Otio w-.rth nl prcp3rty in B . Louis, lie admits that In j e a married man, but doi.iuia papes say ho oa«eiy detertod his wife and three children. Tue lady, whu«o nam-' ,s g vm in the Bt. Liuis papers as 4, De-i:i,” tQat is not iior present name, though it was that of her firet husband ; “if any one wants to know what her name is Limy can just find tTut.” The parties from Bt. Louis say she ia a “California widow.” In the afternoon "Walton and his para mour were taken before Judge Williams, of the District Court, on a writ of habeas corpus, taken out by John Coyle, E*q. Tae application for their discharge was based upon the grounds: That there} was no allegation of any offjneo having been committed within the jurisdiction of the Court: that they could not bo held as fugi tives from justice h-«re, no proceedings having been institute] tg-iir.si thorn in Missouri; that no otief.ee had Peon com* mitted, even in Mias.uri; and that the pro* ceedings had been illegal and informal.— Mayor Wilson testified C> having written out commitments hr b th parti, s and given them to Chief of IVlioo Patipram, m whose custody thty then were. The application was argued by Thus. M. Mar i hall and A. M. Btowd, E-qs., against and John Coyle, E-q , in favor of it, after which Judge Williams remanded'.them into custody, until this morning, when ho will give his decision. During the hear ing the woman fainted in the Court room, creatibg quite a sensation. Fending the hearing of the writ Mayor Wilson received a despatch from tb6 Fro vest Marshal of Bt. Louis, requesting him to retain Walton on a charge, of defraud ingtbe government. Shouid he be re leased on the writ of habeas corpus by Judge Williams, he will probably boar. rested and hold upon the authority of the Provost Marshal. The baggage of Walton and the woman were searched last evening for tho money oi draft belonging to Walton, which, as he a»]oges, is beyond the clutches of the law. Homing was found And this only confirmed tho opinion that the money found with the woman was identical with that Walton is charged with carrying off. The woman ia well supplied with fine clothing and jewelry, her trunks contain ing large quantities of both, of the finest quality, Western Virginia News, From the Wheeling Press of Thursday we learn vital the steamer Mary Cook brought lo that port on Tuesday a number of rebel or persons prominent among the secessionists of the Kanawha, to be held as hostages lor Union men ar rested by the guerillas.

The Harrisburg Patriot and Union gives another instance of the manner in which the government is being robbed, almost daily, a 9 follows! Some time- ago a captain of a military company at Camp Curtin went up into the Wild Cat region to recruit men for his company.’ In duo time he was successful, and made prepara- tions to leave. He asked the landlord the amount of hie bill for quartering his re-* cruiu. “It is jußt one hundred and twenty dollars,” said the Wild Oat inn keeper, “and i make a present of the whole amount to the Government. It is my contribution to carry on the war.”— Some weeks after tbe Captain had left, the landlord, from some hint received, became suspicious, and wrote to the Department here to ascertain if his donation was on record, and by return mail received receipts and vouchers signed by him. Eelf that the money had boon paid him by the Captain, who in turn was reimbursed by the Department. Th ' vouchers were forgeries, and the landlord made affidavit to that effect. Tbe Captain is now in ser vice, whore he cannot be reached, or he would be summarily dealt with. In a few days be will be in a position to have a brush.with the enemy. If ho is killed, nothing will be said about this little finan cial operation. If ho distinguishes him self in action he may avoid a criminal pros ecution, but in any ovonlho will find them hundred and twenty charged to bis ac count whon he comes to settle with Uncle Sam. Another Trj uutaky.— Tne Pennsyl vania Railroad company have just effected a loo*e of the East Brandywine and Wiynesburg R R. for a period of live yoars. The road extends from Diwnmgtown to VVaynesburg, In Chester county, seven* teen and a half miles. The terms of the lease secure the application of the whole of the net earnings to the payment of the in terest on the $14U,000 of seven per cent, mortgage bonds issued by the Brandywine Company, first, and the balance to the stockholders of the latter company. The new road traverses and terminates in a thickly soltled region, having abundant re sources in agriculture, manufacturing es tablishments, vast deposits of iron ore, numerous water powers, &c„ demanding constantly Urge supplies of anthracite and bituminous coal, lime and merchandise, and there is no doubt that a business will soon be developed sufficient to pay a fair interest upon the cost of the road, which was about $13,00U per mile. Thocompany still owe about $lB,OOO on construction account, and for lands and right of way. This amount is to bo paid out of cash due on outstanding instalments on com mon stock and subscriptions to proforred stock. Mr. Patternon's Djmjiiargk.: —The bond and application of son. County Commissioner, for : 'tfjFchargfi under the insolvent laws, were presented to the Court of Common Pleas on Wed nesday of last week, but rejected, on the ground that the latter recited an imprison*, ment for contempt of Court—Judge Mel* lon holding that the Court could not dis charge the applicant, only as to the fine. Whereupon another bond and applica tion was presented <>n Saturday lan to the C*.ur:—Mr Hutchis m, of Indiana town ship, farmer, having justified a? bsil to the sum of two thousand dullars. This appli cation was objected to by Mr. George P. Hamilton, counsel lor the County Control ler. The Court then, instead of discharg ing the prisoner, ordored a rule to show cause against it, to be taken for argument on Wednesday of this week. When the case came on to bo heard in tho Argu ment Court, on Wednesday, Mr. Hamil ton stated that he had examined tho law, and having found that after three months’ imprisonment, a party in custody for any fine or penally was entitled to his dis* charge on giving the proper bond, with drew his opposition, and Mr. Patterson was accordingly discharged. .Fob tsk Irish Brigade.— At a meet* ing of our citizens, held on Thursday evening, for the purpose of arranging pre liminaries for filling up a company for the Irish Brigade of Gen.
