Sent to Capt. Coke.

--A man named Charles Blake, arrested on Wednesday last as a Yankee deserter, in a drunken condition, was arraigned before His Honor yesterday for examination. Blake asserted that he deserted from Washington city about three years ago and entered our own service. He had pursued the occupation of shoemaker for some time at Culpeper C. H., until he was discharged. Since that time he had been conscripted and sent to Camp Lee. The Mayor ordered him to be taken before Capt. Coke, the enrolling officer for this district.
