Deserter Arrested. – The Henrico Mounted Pickets yesterday arrested Robert Burch, a member of company C, 5th Virginia cavalry, on the charge of deserting his comrades. Burch, who is from this place, was carried before the Provost Marshal and ordered to Castle Thunder. His conduct, while on the way to the lock-up, was so obstreperous that it required the exertions of two men to take him along.
