ARRESTED. On yesterday morning a number of arrests were made by the Sheriff, at Cottondale. The war- rants were sworn out before Justice Edmundson on Monday night, and by daylight next morning were promptly executed. The parties arrested were young men of Cottondale and vicinity, and the charges against them are numerous, there being as many as a dozen charges against one, a half a dozen against another and several against others.
