RE-ARREsr OF BooTH.- We are informed that
Mr.. s. NJ. Booth, after having enjoyed a two
months furlough in the country, at the request Of
Deputy Marshal Taylor, Berlin, returned early
Tuesday morning to his old quarters in the Custom
house. The particulars Of the arrest and return,
as near as we can get them, areas follows:
Monday evening while Mr.. Booth was returning
with couple Of fsdies from political meeting at
Berlin, he was suddenly seized by Deputy United
States Marshal Taylor, who, with an aid, pinioned
and disarmed him, thrust him into carriage which
was in waiting, whereupon he was rapidly driven
to the depot and put upon special train and
brought to this city a carriage in waiting at the
depot received and conveyed Kim to the Custom
house, where he was lodged in his old quarters.
He has been retaken through an utter disregard
of the advice of his best friends, that he shonld
withdraw from the State, and through an utter
disregard of precautionary measuresfor his own
safety while in the State. If, therefore, the rear
rest is TO be regretted it must be considered that
Mr. Booth, by his disregard of the advice offriends
and all measures of safety has relieved Republicans
who have sympathized with him from any respon-
sibility in the matter. Hisindiscretfons have chal
lenged rearrest all the time, and he is now reap
ing the fuition of his own folly.
