PHILADELPHIA, February 10 [1862]

Gen. Stone was arrested yesterday morning; first, for misbehavior at Ball’s Bluff; second for holding correspondence with the enemy before and since Ball’s Bluff, and receiving visits from rebel officers in his camp; third for treacherously suffering the enemy to build a fort since the battle of Ball’s Bluff, under his guns, unmolested; fourth, of a design to expose his force to capture by the enemy under pretence of orders for moving from the commanding General.
