THE SPoTswooD AoTEL.-This hotel has become
historical during the past few months. Associated
as it is with the NAMES of "peace commissioners
and prominent men of every class and cline, the
world is bound to hasr of the ''Spotswood" wher-
ever a newspaper is published. AS at present man
ofpatronage which its popularity has securedor it.
The enterprising proprietor, Captain Cookery, is
aided in the catering department by Mr.. Thompson
Tyler, well known throughout the country, and in
the general supervision of the establishment by ex-
Purser Billy Smith and Tinsley Johnson. The
table has now no superior in the Confederate
States, and in every requirement of comfort We
cannot doubt that the Spotswood isthe equal Of any
public house in America: After the war it will be
extended to Cary street, SO as TO give three four
hundred more rooms.

ftasoRAsLT pIacEAR0ED.--hr. Samuel Ruth, su.
perintendent Of the Fredericksturg Railroad Com
pany, arrested by the ,dHectiyes ten days ago on
the charge of conveying information to the enemy,
and siuce confined in Castle Thunder, was on yes
terday, after examination before Coniedefata Com
missioner Baxter, honorably discharged. There
was not the fautest shadow of evidence against him.
The person brought down from Hinge George coun-
ty to testify against him, and whose evidence was
chiefly relied upon to fasten the charge upon him'
had never seen or heard Of him in his life. II is
outrageous that respectable citizen should be
seized and thrown into that abominabe hole, Castle
Thu nder,- upon no better ground than malicious
whisper. The charge against Ruth was trunsped W
by OF the creatures along the line of the Fred
erckburg road, whose title TO free transportation he
would never recognize.
