Police Arrests. – Officers Marcelius Hicks and J. D Perrin arrested yesterday afternoon two negroes, named Booker, slave of Tazewall Perkins, charged with stealing six bags of corn from the Confederate States, and Dick, slave of Charles E.

There were no circumstances developing the particulars of the arrests, and the cases will therefore come up this morning for investigation.
