Arrested for Disloyalty.

--William Gunn, Lewis Warner, David Childress, and Mrs. Ann Perrin, were arrested yesterday by the Confederate States detectives, and committed to Castle Thunder, on the charge of aiding and abetting in the escape to the Yankees of Sarah, a slave of Mrs. Mayo, and another slave woman. Upon Gunn's arrest, he confessed that himself and Childress had carried off two servants, and also admitted that they had been paid a consideration for so doing; that Mrs. Perrin, at whose house Childress resides, had received six silver table spoons from Mrs. Mayo's girl, and that Mrs. Ann Perrin had gotten himself and Childress to carry Sarah off. Subsequently to her arrest Mrs. Perrin admitted that she had received the spoons and a silk dress from the two servant girls who had been arrested.

Mrs. Mayo, upon been informed of the arrest of the parties and recovery of the goods, fully identified the spoons as her property.
