CASE OF THE TRAITOR HILL.-We publish
to-day the card of U. 8. Marshal Hoxie, f.lly
generating himself from the unjust and false
charges Of certain semi-secession papers re-
garding his action in the arrest and incar.
ceration of the traitor Hill. It vas clearly
his duty to obey the instructions Of the Fed
eral authorities, in disregard of distractions
thrown in his way by those who profess .
sacred regard for constitutional law only
when it may screen treason from merited
punishment.

RoLLA, Jan. &c.
A prominent citizen of South West Mis-
souri, ba. just arrived from Mt. Vernon, Law
renee county, and says Gen. kaines, with
about 400 men, stayed all night at Mount
Vernon. on Tuesday night, the 4th inst, on
his way to CRANKY, where his soldiers said
they were going to work in the lead mines.
hreats were made to arrest all men who had
been connce ted with home guard companies
and put them at work in the mines. In con-
sequence of this, large number of Union
citizens were leaving the country.
On the same night that Raines stayed at
Mount Vernon, report sad that 10 to 200
rebels were encamped on the head of Spring
river, en- route for Cassville.
In regard to the number of troops in North
crn Arkansas, he says that he has it from
good authority that there are only about 500
or 600 at Cross Hollows and Cave Hill, Ben
ton county, but body of from 5000 10 5000
men were at Ellsworth Bend, about fifty
miles below Van Buren,, on the Arkansas
river.
Several secessionists told Hall that Prices
forces at Springfield did not exceed 5000.
This gentleman met the scouts of the Fed
cral army four miles beyond Lebanon, and
other troops at different points this side.

xXXVIIth Congress Gee LIST Session.

! ASHINGToN, Jan. ~.
| SENATE.-Mr. Trumbull modified the
amendment so as to confine the Appropriation
Bill to any State or District in which the laws
OF the State are opposed, or the execution
thereof obstructed by insurgents or rebels
against the United States too powerful to be
suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial
proceedings which was agreed to-yeas 10,
nays II. The bill was then passed-yeas %,
nays II, as follows: Messrs. Browning,
Cowan, Davis, Fessenden, Foster, Grimes,
Harris, McDougal, Powell, Trumbull, Sauls-
bury and Wiley.
Adjourned.
HoUsE-The House passed the Legislative
Executive and Judicial Appropriation Bill.
Among the provisions are he following, viz:
That nothing in this act shall prevent, here
after, reduction of salaries, and that mileage
now due by law shall be paid as soon as certi-
fed by the presiding officer of each House,
but there shall be no construction for mileage
beyond what is allowed by law, namely, mile
age for each regular session only. The bill
makes appropriation merely for objects au-
thorized by the existing statute.
Mr. Lovejoy, from the Committee on Agri-
culture, reported bill approprating $4,000,
to be expended under the direction of the
Secretary of the Interior, for purchasing up
land cotton seed for general distribution
through the Patent Office. Passed.
The House passed the bill providing in all
cases where volunteer regiment has been, or
shall be, raised, to the minimum standard, the
Colonel and other field officers who have been
commissioned as such, shall be entitled to re-
ceive the pay and allowances for their respect
i've grades, from the time they were severally
author zed in writing by the President, Sec
rotary of War or Governor Of their State, to-
raise such regiment; provided, however that
in no case shall such pay date back more than
three months prior to such regiment being
raised to the minimum standard. The pro-
visions of the bill are also to apply to captains
excepting their pay shall extend back only
two months.

England and the ''Trent'' Affair.
We have at last definite intelligence frsm
England Is to how the answer Of our Gov
eminent to the demand Of Great Britain in
tho "Trent" affair was received, and hov it
affects the future relations Of the two ooun
tries The Ainistry are represented to have
declared themselves grati6sd and satisfied
and the press generally receives the adjust
ment in good temper, though one or two Of
them. possessed of chronic hate Of the
United States, cannot give their acquiesoence
in the settlement Of one controversy, without
attempting to get up another in reference -
the sinking of stone-losded vessels in Charles-
ton ha1bor. This they affect to regard Is
atroc,ous, although Great Britain has done
the like more than once, and they give q
characteristic growl
The most singular feature Of the news Il
The fact that the London Times and Others
are disapproving any steps on the part OF
the E:gl'sh people to give Mason and Slidell
any public demonstrations Of honor on their
arrival-and We judge that John Bull will
give the fugitive traitors the cold shoulder,
and rather boot ct than applaud them.

| MORE OF THE HILL KIDNAPPING CASE
From one of or citizens, who has been trav-
| cling in Illinois, we gather a few items con-
| corning tho movements Of the scoundrel IIox-
ie ard his kidnapped prisoner, Capt. Hill.
1t appears that Hoxie was afraid of an at
| tempt at rescue if he did not put long DIS
lance between himself and the place of his
theft, and therefore hired conveyance and
pushed on to Viola, in Mercer County. Here
our informant saw them, Saturday morning.
Hill was in chains, and was compelled to lie
down on the floor with guard over him.
Our informant inquired into the nature of the
offense, and was told that Hill was a runa.
way military prisoner, who had been, cap
tured IN house of ill-fame in Davenport.
Subsequently, however, Mr. Hill gave our in
formant the particulars of the arrest, and
Hoxie's villainy. During the recital Hoxie
threatened his prisoner with severe punish
ment if he did not shut his mouth. Mr.. Hill
said that all he asked for was his rights guar
anteed to him under the Constitution of the
United States fair and impartial trial, but
that now he was beyond the reach of his
friends he had no hopes Of being heard until
the government reached his case, which may
be in month and perhaps not in a year,
Hoxie told cur informant that he must keep
close mouth in Davenport regarding what
he had seen and heard, but the scamp mis-
took his man when he undertook to frighten
our informant into silence.
What surprises U.S. is that Mr.. Hill should
so tamely submit to the outrage of being car
ried off after having been released by course
of law from the custody of the Marshal -
Hoxie, in Hills presence, acknowledged that
he stole his prisoner from the Jail, At least so
our informant says. Hill would have been
justified in letting daylight into Hoxie, and
then returning to stand his trial, and he should
have done that very thing. From what we
can learn, the proper tools fer his release
wee offered him BY more than one individu-
q during the morning the party tarried in
Viola.-Dss. Dem. -.t

er, in his Original" lays down the follow.
ing rules for attaining high health. They
worth remembering, particularly his ad.
vice to wives and husbands:
First study to acquire composure of mind
and body. Avoid agitation, or hurry Of
one or the other, especially just before or
after meals, and whilst the progress of di.
gestion is going on. To this end, govern
your temper-en6eavor to look at the bright
side of things-keep down as much as pos
sible the unruly passions-discard envy,
hatred and malice, and lay your head upon
your pillow in charity with all mankind.
LIE: not your wants ou'run your means.
Whatever difficulties you have To encounter,
be not perplexed, but only think what it is
right to do in the sight of Him who seeth
all things, and bear without repining the re-
suit. When your meals are solitary, let your
thoughts be cheerful; when they are social,
which is better, avoid disputes, or serious
argument, or unpleasant topics. "Unquiet
meals" says Shakespeare, "make i'll diges-
tons )" and the contrary is produced by
easy conversation, q pleasant project, vel.
come news, or lively companion. advise
wives not 10 entertain their husbands with
domestic grievances about children or ser
wants, nor to ask for money, nor produce IN.
paid bills. nor PROFOUND unreasonable or pro.
pound unreasonable or provoking questions;
and ! advise husbands to keep the cares and
vexations Of the world to themselves, but
10 be communicative Of whatever Is com.
Portable, and cheerful, and amusing.
