An order has been issued prohibiting news- papers publishing the names and regiments of rebel deserters coming within our hnes. The | objection urged is that our papers find their | ‘way through the lines, and such publication bas a tendency to retard the desertion of others. ag" In the Confederate Senate, on the 18th, a | resolution was passed approving the action of the Government with regard to the entlawry | of General Butler, and the determination of the Rebel authorities to hold no communication ‘with him. The Richmond Whig of the 19th | Says thata finaneial bill, regulating the car- rency, pessed the Honse on Saturday, and that ‘the Sepate on the same day, in secret session, Aivished its Iaborson the military bill. This Action, it says, is unknown to any but a fa- ‘Vored few outside the halls of Congress. The Wiig bas a eurious and significant article de- ploring the decay of the gallant Southern race, ‘who entered the war so brilliantly three years | ago. It says that they are all goue, andif they do not come back agtin the sgaime is up.” Boy AND Gint Basrgs.—A lady, who has made very close and laborious inyestigations in the matter, has ascertained (to her own sat- istaction) that amongst good Union parents the births are mostly boys, while with seces- sicn parents the tendency ts decidedly to girls. ‘We know not how this may be, but the fact has heretofore been noticed that male births Yargely prodominate in war times. Emerson «Ralph Waldo), ina lecture at the Smithsonian, alluded incidentally to this fact. He said, «In times of war there is electricity in the air,— male children are born.” 7 That rebel regiment that is always at. tempting to desert, and is always being fired upon in the rebel camp, is at it again, (near S‘evensburg this time,) according to a city co- temporary. The fighting, it is stated by the Same authority, has been in progress for about | & week, with “heavy musketry and artillery,” ard is yet going on.

FEOM ASPINWALL. New York, Jan. 23.—The steamship Cham- pion, from Aspinwall, brings $325,900 in trea- eure, Among her passengers is the Hon. Robt. McLean. Advices from Guayaquil report that Mos- quera has forced the passage of the river Ohola, and that Firres retreated or was driven ‘back toward Quito. Another armistice was ‘@greed upon, and Flores made @ proposition for peace, pledging himself to pay $3,000,000 | indemnity to New Granada for his expenses | ofthe war. | | TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.

At one o’clock, the Court took up the case of Francis O’Toole, who is charged with the mur- der of Ssmuel Stevenson, about the 18th of December last. Mr. J. H. Bradley, Sr.,ap_ pears for the defence, and Mr. Carrington for the Government. This case, it will be remem- bered, was called on Monday last, and eleven jurors were sworn, when the cas? was post- poned until this morning on account of a ma- terial witness. The following jury was called this morning, viz:—Watkins ‘loison, Charles Cumberland, Foster Henshaw, Michael Nash, Jacob Ash, Jno. Sessford, James Goddard, Daniel E. Kealey, Richa:d H. Harrison, Wm. H. Faulk- ner, and Michael Taliy. Mr. Joseph Mundell was challenged, and Mr. E. H. Edelin had expressed an opinion and was therefore excused. The eight first named are of the jury which was sworn in Tuesday. Wm. Parker was excused after having been sworn, and Mr. Thomas Thornley was called, but excused on account of sickness. Mr. Aaron D. Harman was finally sworn as the twelfth juror. The defendant was arraigned and plead not guilty. Mr. Carrington opened the case and stated that Francis O’Toole was indicted jointly with Jno. Eggleston, for the murder of Mr. Samael Stevenson. Mr. Carrington explained the law in the case. He stated also that the evidence was entirely circumstantial, and therefore it would 2evolve upon the prosecution to prove a perfect chain of circumstances. Mr. Bradley then made a statement for the defence. He stated that at the trial before the Justice full notes were taken and if there was any discrepancy between the testimony then given and that to be given on this trial he would be prepared to prove it. Mr. O'Toole, the defendant, he ssid, was a soldier of the regular army, and for superior conduct as a soldier, was transferred to the of- fice of the commander of this department as.a clerk Mr. B. could not excuse the practice, which was now too prevalent, of geing to baw- dy houses. The companions of Mr. O'Toole, when be visited the house where Mr Steven- son received the death blow. were Lieut.Luke, of the army, who was then sitting on court- martial; D, W. Irving, a well-known mer- chant; ‘Mr. John Eggleston, also connected with the army, and others. - Mr. Bradley then stated what he understood to be the facts of the case, as follows: On the night in question, O'Toole and his companions went to the house of Susie Crebeling (who was acquitted of keeping a bawdy house on account of the copious tears she shed,) and O'Toole Went into a back room with the girl he went to visit, and more in play thau in anger, threatened to slap the girl’s mouth, or some- thipg to thateffect, when Mr. Stevenson (the deceased) step) up and drew a knife, and said no one should strike a woman in his presence; it was cowardly. O'Toole suggested to Stevenson thatif he would put up the knife and go cut that he would whip him. Steven- son replied that they did not fight that way; Mr. S. was a Kentuckian. Mr. Bradley then stated that he expected to prove tbat on the night of the homicide O’ Toole and his friends left the house before Stevenson did, and went toa number of places; and when Stevenson lett he went to the pavement, and was wounded and taken back to the house, when his wound was dressed, and thence he went to a drug store, and had his head re- dressed, and then went to the National Hotel, where he lodged. Mr. Stevenson did not for some days attend to his wound, and erysipelas set in, and caused the death of Mr. Stevensen. Mr. Bradley held that when Mr. Stevenson made what was called his dying decleration he had no idea of dying. peer B.) would further prove thaton the nightofthe homicide there was an affray at a house below Sue Urebeliag’s, and there was proof that when Mr. Stevenson hal- loea, five men ran away from him, and neither O'Toole or Irving were of the party. He would prove these facts by men of character and standing. Mr. Bradiey’s theory .was that, Mr. Stevenson, when he came out of the house of Sue Crebeling saw the men running from the affray at the house below and supposing they were O’Toole and his party made the attack and received the blow which caused his death, Mr. B. said in conclusion, that he understood that an amount of money was to be spent tocon- ‘ict O'Toole, and if the evidence developed that fact, he would call the attention of the Court to it. Mr. Wm. B. Entwisle, druggist, at the corner of Twelfth streets and Pennsylvania avenue, was the first witness, and testified that on the nigbt of the 19h of December, Mr. Stevenson came to his store to have a wound dressed. DEATH OF THE Swiss ConsvuL GENERAL — Yesterday afternoon, John Hitz, Esq, the Swise Consul General in this country, died at his late residence on Capitol Hill, after an illness of several months. 1. Hitz emigrated to this country in the year 1931, and has been Consul General since 1853. At one time he held an important position in the U.S. Ar- seual, where he made the composition for the U.S. standard of weights and measures, and he bas been employed throughout the country, at times, as mineralogist (for which he was particularly educated) by various mining com- panies. His office as Consul General he has filled very acceptably, and since the febellion the business of his office has increased largely; indeed Mr. Hitz took upon himself the busi- nets of getting the names of all his country- men in the various departments of the army, and their correspondence has in a great meas ure been carried on through him. He had the confidence of the soldiers to such an extent ‘hat hundreds of them would regularly send their money to him, as asort of banker. He was unremitting in his attentions to the sol- diers, and he did not slight those of any na- tion; and when sent for by a soldier in a hos. pital he never failed to see him_ immediately. As a member of the German Relief Associ- ation he spent much of his time in the hos. pitale. Mr. Hitz died in the Unitarian faith, ot which denomination he has been a memb:-r for many years The funeral will take place to-morrow afternoon, when Rev.
