of savage life. he told him that he felt
inclined, for the first time since his

CLIENT.


The Richmond Enquirer SAYS. that
Mr.. Russell "owes ii 10 himself, to ex-
plain, why he should have furnished a
duplicate so different from his originul
letter" The explanation is very simple.
Mr., Russeli's original was marked pri-
gate; these private letters, as is known
among diplomatis;s, are official, and pla-
ced on file but as they may contain
facts, not expedient TO promuIgate, they
are Withheld from Congress, when mark
ed private. A letter addressed to the
Secretary of State, marked private and
unofficial, he would put in his pocket and
carry houe-merely marked private, he
would place it on file in the Depart
mcut.
Mr. RusseIl's original, marked private,
by some. accident, got among D.r. Mon
roe's papers, and not being on file. at the
Department, Mr. Russell imagined ii was
lost, and considered that little emhel-
lishment and new points, might produce
effect; the original, however, was IN
fortunately discovered.
The question, with more propriety,
might be PIT to Mr.. Russell, Of schat ,oerc
has vieo's IN publishing tat letter at tAis
lite day? ". Y Ma. .1du.

we'll known, 10 warrant the conclusion,
that there is no individual in the western
country, that would be SO completely
capable of carrying with him the united
voice Of her citizens. Whatever may
have been said to the contrary, he is
known here, 10 be amiable and sociable
IN private; as politician, decisive,
digniied and impartial; and as gene
raj, intelligent, quick and determined
Indeed we know of no incident III his
llfe, as a politician or soldier, that has
mot been calculated to confirm the high
|opinion, his coun,rymen have always en-
|tertalned OF him. If he has been warm
IA politician, il has been in support of
M rights oil his country; if rigid as a
I&eneral, 1t has been TO increase the
E9rength and usefulness of his army.
When he caused Arbuthnot and Am
bister to be executed, il was to put
stop TO the slaughter of our innocent
women and children; when he pro-
claimed martial law at New-Orleans, il
was to disappoint the enemy, Awho had
promised their soldiery " beauty" and
"6ooty;' when he imprisoned Callava,
il was 10 punish a villain and protect the
orphans of Vidcl. All thai has been
said against him, has been amply rctnt-
ed. And while bis accusers have
gradually dwindled into insigniiicance,
he is justly receiving in his retirement,
the strongest testimonials of the graft
tude and esteem OF his countrymen. We
repeat the assertion: there is no man In
the western country, who deserves so
well OF the nation, and who stands so
high with The people, as General Jack

First arrival Of Furs from The Rocky

souri, Fur Company, arrived in town this
week, with boat load of furs and pei
tries worth $4,000, from the Rocky
Mountains. Another parcel, belonging
TO the same Company, worth $40 900,
is on the river, and expected to arrive IN
the week coming, The whole has de-
seconded the Yellow Stone river, and
must have been transported more than
5000 miles to arrive at this place; such
is the extent of country laid under con-
tribution by the commercial position of
