Important arrest.

--The recent circulation, in this city, of Confederate Treasury notes with forged signatures, has led to extreme caution in the inspection of that currency, and active exertions have been made to apprehend the guilty parties. A man named John Betz was arrested yesterday at Frank's bar-room, on Governor street, by Detective Goodrich and Policeman Davis, in consequence of certain information received, and in his trunk were found two sheets of unsigned Treasury notes, of the genuine plate. Betz, who came here from New Orleans, is a lithographic printer, and was for a short time employed on Government work. The prisoner will probably have a preliminary examination this morning.
