Last evening the governor of this state caused to be apprehended Denis Casset, esq. under the act of the legislature of this state, entitled, "an act to prevent certain acts hostile to the peace and tranquility of the United States, within the jurisdiction of this state," and he is now under an arrest.
The governor has forwarded to the post master of Chillicothe dispatches to John S. Gano, general of the first division of the militia, with directions and special instructions how to act on this important occasion.
The trial of Mr. Casset will come on to day. the result of which we cannot at this time determine. Witnesses are summoned to attend at the trial, and it is said that acknowledgments will be made that he tendered money to an individual to enlist under the banners of colonel Burr.
