ANEW YORKER ARRESTED AsAspY.

The New Olleans True D.Ita, Of Nov. 10, has
the following:
Early this morning Mayor Monroe received
dispatch from Chattanooga to look out for Dan
icl Hand, of New York, who was on his way TO
New Orleans, as he was a Lincoln spy, The
Mayor placed it in the hands of detective oni-
Ger Farrell, who soon had Mr. Hand in custody,
and brought him to the Mayors office, after
allowing him to communicate with some friends,
who accompanied him to the presence Of Mr..
Monroe.
Mr.. Hand is gentleman Of education and
fine department, some sixty yeaB Of age, his
features regular and well marked, denoting
great intelligence, added to irmness and cour-
age. lie is the owner Of property to the ex-
tent Of one million dollars in Georgia and South
Carolina, and some three years ago was part
ner ia conlnendiim Of the firm Of s. A. Williams
& Co, Of Charleston. He claims TO be a citi-
of Georgia; but has resided for the last three
years in New York, where he owns property,
though he asserts that his property there is not
equal TO his debts. II Is difficult to understand
why he has remained in the enemys country up
TO this late day, IL he was reallya southerner,
as he says, and by Law he Is probably an alien.
