An Arch TTaitsr In 0hio..rhe Whole
Case Presented.


Through the kindness of a friend We
are enabled to present to our readers a
full and strictly accurate report of the
proceedings yesterday holden before the
United States Commissioner in this city,
in the case of Russell Hyde, charged with
crime of resisting the execution of the
laws af the United States. This Hyde,
as he is the original cause of the war that
has been goiag on in Green and the ad-
joining csunties, deserves, like all great
criminals. to be described, and when his
tory comes to treat Of these events, it may
also portray the personal lineaments Of
the actor in the drama, and thus give to
its pictures the vividness Of reality
The arch Traitor, whose CONDUCT has SO
baflled and defied the civil authorities Of
the nation, and j.opardized, prehaps, the
very existence of this ''sacrcd Union,'
is about twenty years Of age, and weighs
by estimate, not to exceed one hundred
and ten pounds. His appearance is that
of intense innocence, unaccompanied
with any evidence either Of intellectual
brilliancy or physical courage; and unless
his strength is to be found in the aspect
Of very unthrifty looking moustache,
! it is difficult to discover the elements of
that prowess by which, unarmed as he
was, he was enabled to strike terror to the
hearts of secca Deputy Marshals of the
! United States, armed to the teeth, and
clothed with the power of this great and
mighty nation. Indeed, this notorious
criminal and incendiary is, to all APP
pcarance, about as verdanta a specimen of
country produce as even Green County
could well exhibit; and nothing, we are
assured by his neighbors could be less
formidable te well or ill-doers than him
self, in matters of personal danger except
perhaps--as in this case appears--aa
United States Deputy Marshal That he
is more than match for several of these
is fact touching which we are no longer
permitted to doubt.
The scene at old Hyde's log cabin al
the morning when SO deadly blow was
struck to the peace and dignity of the
Union, is worthy of descri ption by more
graphic pens than ours. Old Hyde a
