REPUDIATION. – Joseph Longinotti, an Italian confectioner on 17th street, near Broad, was on yesterday arrested by the Government detectives and committed to Castle Thunder for repudiating the Confederacy. He proclaimed to his customers that he would sell his goods only for specie; that he did not want Confederate money. Being put in the Castle, he sued out a writ of habeas corpus, which will be tried before Judge Lyons at ten o’clock this morning.
