In Trouble. – Jason Brightwell, a member of Allen's Artillery Battalion, Company "C," was arrested last night by a detective of the Eastern District, on a complaint entered by Miles Ambler that prisoner, with others, came to his house, ten miles below the city, on Monday, and by threats and pretending they were Confederate officers, made Mrs. Ambler give into their possession a valuable double-barrel fowling-piece. He was locked up in Castle Thunder, and will be turned over to the civil authorities to-day for examination.
