Walton’s Despatch. | ‘Wasurmnaton, May 6, 1865, ARRESTS AT THE 1OUSE OF GENERAL DANIEL RUGGLEB, C, B.A, It was deemed advisable by the War Department to @ollect all the information possible in reference to tho late tragedy, the killing of Presidopt Lincoln. Accora- ingly another expedition was |, under the imme- , diate superintendence of Colonel L. ©. Baker, and staried late on Thuraday afternoon to Walnut Tree land- fing, on the Potomac creek, near Bolle Plain. A detach- mont of cavalry, under command of Lioutenant Peter McNuanghton, of Company H, Sixteenth New York, left Sixth street wharf on the steamer Monitor, Captain 3. W. Morton, and arrived at Walnut Tree landing shortly after @undown. The Lieutenant thon proceeded with a squad of his men to the residence of Genoral Ruggles, distant bout mine miles, and captured Lieutenant M. B. Ruggles, of Mosby's guerillas, Lieutenant A. B. Bainbridge bad been stopping at the house ‘with bia friend, Lieutenant Ruggles, but was absent at the thme. Afier waiting about half an hour he re- ‘turned, when they were both placed under guard and brought aboard the steamer Monitor. There was some Sonversation had between the young men and the ladies at the house, the purport of which conld not be suffi- ciently and clearly understood. One remark, however, ‘was made by an inmate to the effect that he (Bainbridge) ‘would never come back from Washington. 4 VIMT TO DR, STEWART’S HOUSE. On Friday morning the two prisoners were left on board the Monitor, under guard, when the rest of the ®@ommand proceeded to the residence of Dr. Stewart, near St. ‘Paul's church, at Hamp- @tead, whero they arrived about ten o'clock 4 M. The doctor was absent from home when the cavalry arrived, on a visit to some friend, Dr. a Lomas, I heard. A squad of cavalry, with a bright’ mu- Jatto boy as a guide, were dispatched in search of him. In the interim he roturned home by another route. The ‘Bavalry surrounded tho house to prevent the egress of ‘eny one. There were a number of young ladies stoppii at Doctor's, some of them his daughters, who seome to think it strange that the military should be sent for pater familias, Many qvestions were asked, to which b ed McNaughton yory judiciously replied by in- forming them that the Doctor was wanted as a witness to teatify as to what he saw and what he knew of the gssassin Booth and his confederate Harold. After ca, of some dinner, the 'y started on jelr return to Walnut Tree landing, at which they arrived about cizht o'clock, and returned to n about one o'clock A.

The Trial of the Conspirators. ‘Wasminerox, May 7, 1865. Much anxioty {s evinced in reference to the court martial to try the assassination conspirators. It is Fumored that the trial is to be held with closed doors, ‘This will be a great miatako on the partof the authori- b ties. When Pichegru and Moreau were tried, in 1801, Falthough Fouche desired to havo the trial in secret, the First Consul, Napoleon, intisted that it should be open, as otherwise the people might charge that the testimony ‘was manufactured to secure their condemnation. These criminals are charged with the gravest of crimes, and thetr trial should be conducted in the face of the whole ‘world. Star-chamber proceedings do not accord with ‘the spirit of the age and the people. The Joint Letter of erley Tucker and George N. Sanders. Monrne/t, May 4, 1865.

Brigadier General Hartsuff, companted by several deputies, went to Greensboro on the 20th, with the paroles to be distributed to the rebel army. On the evening of the 20th Generals Hardee Anderson came to Goldsboro, and remained guests of General Schofield for tho night. The next morning Gene- rals Schofield, Cox and Kilpatrick, and the Fourteenth Ohio regiment and band, returned with them to Greens- boro, where they arrived in the evening. The next day General Hartsuff’s deputies collected most of the rolls. ‘When completed, close on thirty thousand, including all branches of the service, will be paroled. Thousands had broken for their homes, carrying their arms and taking all the horses they could find. These aro pillaging and plundering the country and com- mitting all kinds of depredations. On this account the proportion of arms, horses and flags turned over is small. We have about 110 pieces of artillery. They wore allowed to retain one-fifth of their small arms to protect themselves, also sufficient wagons for transport- ation. Jobnston’s army has byhis time broken up.

Another, one mile above the latter, spanning Buffalo creek, had one hundred and fifty feet destroyed. ‘The lesser bridges between the last named and the James river, five miles below Lynchburg, remained un- disturbed, and were apparently in a sound and serviceable condition. Five miles from Lynchburg the James bridge, six hundred and seventy-two feet long, is en- tirely destroyed, and will require an amount of labor and importation of material in its reconstruction equal to that demanded in tho repair of High bridge. The only remaining link which a thorough communication to Lynchburg necessitates is the bridge spanning the James tiver, where the railroad enters the town. This was originally four hundred and fifty feetlong. It will thus ‘be seen that the aggregate amount of bridging required ig one thousand nine hundred and twenty-two feet, the original iron and stone work of which still remains, the wood work alone having’ suffered destruction.

The late Mr, Wallack waa then sought and earnestly solicited by Mr. Hackett to join imthe object. Mr. Wal- lack highly approved of the idea, but observed that the evening of the anniversary of Shakspere’s birth had been sought by a committee and already promised by bim for a benefit for the fund instituted for decayed actors, who had made arrangoments accordingly, and added that Were such night not appropriated the intervening nine Gays would not be time enough toget up a suitable en- tortainment at his theatre. Mr, Wallack, howover, in- timated the expediency of ‘waiting till the next season,”’ when he would ‘cheerfully get up: some novelty which would run, and not only give the monument fund the first night of it, but the entire receipts,’’ and finally added :—“T do not believe it possible'to raise any consid- erable sum by benesits at thoze theatres on that occasion ; but, Hackett, to convince you how well disposod Tam towards the accomplishment of a monument to Shak- spere, go on and make the attempt, and whenever it may seem to me likely to succeed I will give out of my pocket towards it one thousand dollars.” A few weeks prior to his decease Mr. Wallack sont for the’autograph a PTA TS mae ‘t calling the attention - ‘ors of other papers to so commendable a mode which needs but to be people to be at once ac- subseription book and wrote one thousand dollars and his signature for the Jast time, ‘The corner stone of the monument was laid in the Park on the 284 of April last, The proceeds of two bonefits at Niblo’s and Winter Garden theatres amounted to about five thousand dollars, and tho subscriptions of certair”of the Nberal citizens of Now York exclusively had reached over twelve thousand dollars on the 8th Inst.—over sev- enteen thousand dollars having been absolutely collected and deposited in the Metropolitan Bank, according to the report of Mr. ett, one of the executive committee and of the monument fund. ‘The circular of the executive committee, issued last TaThe ciel. feature of the BE t ie to be a full el re onument a and di Bru no deciga wil be adopted unl dhe im of twenty it NO unt gum of twenty dollars ia paid into the bands of the treasurer, when tt will be the duty of the oxecutive committee to ign and et the artist, subject comi ym ittoo, jons up_ to the 8th inst.
