j.. y. Ofmsfead.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.
l.. j. 0lmst,.ad, of Yonkers, has been arrest
ed on charge of being engaged in sending
goods TO the rebels by way of Havana and
Nassau. There were strong reasons for sus-
picion on the part of Surveyor Andrews and
his assistants, and the Surveyor on the 4th
inst. directed several of his most efficient Off
GERS to proceed to- Yonkers and investigate the
facts. Upon the recommendation of these
officers these special aids were dispatched by
the Surveyor 10 Yonkers for the purpose of
arresting 0lmst cad and Selling his papers.
He was taken into custody. Among the doc
uments were some which have run the block
ade and which it is said fully justify the sus-
picions that had been entertained. Olmstead
has been for many years resident of Yonkers
where his family resides. He has for two or
three years past spent much of his time in
Havana and protested to be engaged on some
public work, but the correspondence shows
that he had agents in Nassau and also Havana,
who were sending goods received by them TO
the rebels. Olmstead was about to take his
departure for Havana when arrested. He was
placed in the keeping of the U. S. Marshal.
When few persons now at large are taken
into custody the contraband trade from this
port will be virtually closed.
