Aotthe middle of last month, General Ba *ker received information of a plot at Lynchbnrg, Virginia, to rob the Post Quarterrraster's safe of * a large amount of money it was known to con tain. The case worked up, has i-esulted in the - arrest and incarceration in the Old Ca 1l Pris .on last night, of Brevet-Brigadeir- ~eral J. . * C.

Captain W. A. Alberger, son of Coin missioner Alberger, of New York, has been Quar termaster at Lynchburg, anil had in his charge on the 21st September,ode hundred and twenty thousand dollars in greenbacks, besides a. large amount of captured gold coin and bullion, which had been placedi in his 4harge foi safe keeping. ' Briscoe ,appreaghed Alberger through Lackey, and pwoposed to'nim as the war was abouat to close and none of them had ma~de money out of it, they shoM1d-make a gre.nd haul in concert and pocket fifty thousand dollars a piece in a- flash. Alberger kept the fundls in a safe, which for-. anelybelooged to x rebel offieer, and' this fact -.-was to give color to~ the charge which -was utYle -made that the ex-rebtl, having a du~pieste key tthe-saif ha robbed it.- Brisco was to arrest the Quartermaster, his clerks and half the. peo ple of Lynclijurg to avert suspielen. The Ge~n - eral took an imnpression of the safe key in wax, and sent Lae:key to Philadelphia t. get the keys a. made.- Alberger, ostensibly in. thie plot, irpform ad the Secretary of War, and two or thi'ee of Generat'Baker's officers were serit down to Lynch * .- burg to arrest the guilty parties.
