Richmond Circuit Court, yesterday.

--Judge Meredith presiding.--In the matter of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus of F. Rupricht, continued from Monday, additional testimony was adduced, and the Court ordered his discharge from Colonel J. B. Danforth's regiment second-class militia.

In the matter of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus of William Wingfield, of Hanover county, a bonded farmer, the case was elaborately argued by Messrs. August, Lyons, and Winn of Hanover, for affiant, and B. R. Welford, Jr., for the Government. The court reserved its decision to a future day. The decision in this case involves that of a number of similar cases pending in the same court, and who will be remanded or discharged as the Judge remands or discharges this petitioner.
