Charged with being a Sev. --A man, named Thomas Moore, who claims to be a Yankee deserter, was arrested yesterday by officer Caleb Crone, of the city police, upon the suspicion of being a spy. Moore represents himself as a native of New York city; says he deserted from the Yankees at Charleston, South Carolina, and from that place came to this city. During seven weeks sojourn here he has never ventured outside of the house till after dark, and then it is said, his association has been prafter dark, and then it is said, his association has been principally with negroes and white men of bad repute living in the neighborhood. When Moore was arrested by Mr. Crone, it was at the house of J. Duff, in that portion of the city known as the Valley. Duff is a notorious deserter from our army, and long absence from duty has been the cause of the police being put upon his track. Both parties were turned over to the Confederate authorities, and by them committed to Castle Thunder.
