CINCINNATI, Tuesday, May 5. (NY Times)
Hon. CLEMENT L. VALLANDIGHAM was arrested at his residence at Dayton, Ohio, this morning, by a detachment of soldiers, who went up from Cincinnati by a special train last night.
The soldiers were obliged to batter down two or three doors of his house before they could reach his room and take him.
His friends rang the fire-bells and called out the people, when an attempt was made to rescue him, but it failed.
He was brought to this city.
