Arrest of Mrs. George W. Butler.

--Mrs. Annie Butler, the wife of George W. Butler, who, some time since, absconded the city under very suspicious circumstances, leaving behind him sundry unsettled accounts, was arrested yesterday morning while attempting to cross our lines to rejoin her husband at New York. It will be recollected that, a few weeks since, a notice was copied in the Richmond papers, which was clipped from the New York Herald, announcing Butler's arrival there and urging "Annie" to hurry on to him. The advertisement was signed "George and Tom." This is the first case since the recent rule prohibiting ladies from going North in which any of them have been caught running the blockade.
