Morning.l
A special train was sent up on the Gin
~oinnati, Hamilton & Dayton railroad, on
Monday evening, shortly before midnight
with a company of the 115th Ohio regi.
ment, to arrest and bring Mr.. Vallandig-
ham to this city. The train reached Day
ton at three o'clock, yesterday morning,
and the party at Once proceeded to the res
idence of Mr.. Vallandigham, and sought
admittance. Mr.. Va~llandigham cam to
an upper window and asked their BUSH
ness, and on being informed that they had
orders to escorthim to this city, he refused
to allow them ~tO.enter. While at the win
dow, he shouted at the top of his voice,
CASA, Asa, Asa" and about the same time
a pistol was fired from an upper side win
dow of his house to give the alarm that
had been agreed upon, it is supposed, to
call ont his friends.
In a very few minutes the FIRE bells be-
gan to toll to arouse his friends. The
troops forced their way into the house, and
Mr.. Vallandigham was given time TO make
his toilet, when he was hurried to the cars,
and they departed for this city before the
crowd could assemble.
The train reached this city about six
o'clock yesterday morning, and the pris-
Oner was ct once conveyed to the military
prison on Columbia street, near Sycamore,
where he was confined during the day. No
one was allowed to see him yesterday, al
though several Of his friends in this city
applied for the privilege.
