Arrest for treason in Connecticut. --Jas. S. Kent, of Richmond, Va., and President of the Union Arms Manufacturing Company of that city, was arrested in Tolland, Ct., and taken to Hartford, on Monday, on a charge of giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the State. The offence alleged was that Mr. Kent endeavored to induce a workman at Sharp's factory to go to Richmond to work on arms to be used by the troops of the Confederate States. The person to whom application was made declared that Mr. Kent was not the man. It was also stated by those who know Mr. Kent that he is not of secession proclivities. He was honorably discharged.
