YLe Arrest of Colonel Talcott.

We copy from the New York Worll of the 28th an
account OF the arrest OF Col Talcott in that city An
other paper says that bis wife, on learning of his arrest
was suddenly stricken with partial paralysis
Some excitement was yesterday caused in this city BY
the arrest OF Colonel Talcot, formerly of the United
States Engineers, who was examined by General Wool
and sent by Marshal Murray to Fort Lafayette, the
general charge, it is understood of being an officer
of high rank in the Southern army, and confidential
agent OF Jefferson Davis, lis way to Paris. CoIone
alcott is we'll advanced years. and understand has
for more than year been residing in Mexico where be
has been employed in constructing railway from Vera
Cruz to the capital 1t is stated that be left Richmond
some fifteen months ago for Mexico and has had 20
connection since that time with the Confaderacy the
object OF his present journey to Paris being TO attend in
that city to the business interests of the Mexican rail
way which has been under his charge. II these state
merits correct aud Col ralcott was really passing
openly through New York with his family on bis way
to Europe, the importance of his would appear
have been singuary overes.imated in the first accounts
given of the affair. Deputies Dryer and Young, who
had been watching for him, arrested bin about noon
near Barnum's Museum. He had been staying with
his family at private house, No. LA, West Twenty.
