The Assassins and their Accessories.

The Washington correspondent of the New York World gives the following list of persons who are under arrest and likely to be convicted for direct participation with the great assassination.

1. Spangler, the stage carpenter of Ford's Theatre, will most probably suffer the extreme penalty of the law.

2. "Sam" Arnold of Baltimore, better known as the author of a letter signed "Sam," who undertook to pilot and agreed to do it, and backed out in the end because of his failing courage, will also suffer death: He was a conspirator, but not bold enough to be an assassin.

3. Capt. Willie Jett, found at Bowling Green, who took Booth behind him on his horse, thus facilitating his escape, will run a close chance for his neck. He either did or did not recognize in Booth the assassin, and if so, woe to him!

4. Atzerodt, but whose name in his own execrable chirography I have copied from the registry at Kirkwood's Hotel as "G. A. Atzerodt, Charles County, Md., 126 B," will be hung positively. He is a murderer by instinct and temperament. His face is a standing conviction.

5. Mrs. Surratt will suffer the full penalty of her crime. As Booth was the master, so was she the mistress, conspirator. She is bold and cruel and deserves to die.

6. McLaughlin, a friend and confederate of Booth, will die for conspiracy without courage.

7. Dr. Mudd, residing near Bryantown, may suffer death for his 'timidity.' He set Booth's leg on Saturday morning, and never mentioned it till Sunday night. He may not have recognized Booth, and may not, as he says, have heard of the murder. But he has been a stern secessionist, and a life insurance policy, at present, would cost him dear!

8. John Lloyd will certainly die. He kept Mrs. Surratt's hotel at Surrattsville, secreted and furnished the two assassins with carbines, and although positively aware of the crime immediately after its execution, he held his tongue.

9. Sam. Cox, or "Capt." Sam. Coxe lives between Scylla and Charybdis. He concealed and fed Booth, probably knowing his hands to be stained with blood. He has already suffered execution in his horrible forebodings.

10. Young Harold who stood with Booth in the ill-omened bar, and shared his fight, and was his guide and servant, will die despite a hundred pleas of dementia or mania.

11. John Surratt, if caught at all, will suffer death. He shared the horrible secret of meditated crime, and should with his mother, meet the reward of murder.

12. Payne or Wood, the desperate assassin of Mr. Seward, who was taken at Mrs. Surratt's house, and was a hired cut-throat, will die beyond peradventure.

13. Mr. and Mrs. Adams, of Newport: these, it is believed, knew Booth, and assisted him.

14. Mr. Wilson, of Newport; he did not assist justice, although cognizant of the crime.
