Arrival of a German Yankee. - The Central train that arrived yesterday morning brought, among other passengers, a German named Louis Boden, a private in the Eight Regiment New York State Militia, who was recently captured by our pickets on the line of the Potomac. He was lodged in one of the military prisons. Boden can hardly speak a half dozen words of English, and has been in this country but a few months.
