hes been noticed in orr columns. Hs left yes
terisy Tor Ksrtuesy. He was decidedly an
@otieet Of Interest," during his briei stay and
many OF our citizens called upon him. His
courtesy and eass Of manner gained for bin
many encomiums, especially from The ladies'
A fair friend Of ours, who bad a conversation
with bin. informs us that BE expressed great
admiration for the graceful and beautiful ladies
of the South. Mr.. RUssELL, in company with
General PrIlow, visited the works at Ran
doluh, and examined them infinitely. He ap-
reared to be OF opinion that they were well
adapted for The purpose For which they were
constructed.
Mr.. RUSSELL has made an impression upon
the reading world never before produced by a
newspaper correspondent. de has raised TIA
speeies OF composition to the dignity Of lite
rsrv excellence. From the East Indies be
cave in graphic features accounts Of the pro-
.csedinrs Of TIE war for the suppression Of the
sspov rebellion. The natives, their appear
ance, character, and habits, their atrocities,
and their vain efforts to conquer English domi-
nation; The English, their indonitable energy,
their heroic achievements and their fearful
retributiens, were an portrayed in colors go
yiysd that few Of our readers have forgotten
the profound impression produced BY reading
bis descriptions and dsIinestions. The
Italian war, with its romantic interest

ing with the victory al SolfsFino and
the personal interview OF LOUIS NAFoLEoN
with the Emperor Of Austria next engaged bis
pen and added to bis fame.
He has now embarked in a new enterprise.
The solemn events now occurring in our own
country the birth Of a new nationality the
tbroes Of a new empire vigorously struggling
into life; the effects Of an ehste power
to sabdue the impulses and curb the energies
now working with volcanic feree In our midst,
will afford no mean subject for bis pen. True
We have not The antique memories of the In
dian soil. nor the mysteries Of her dark super
stitions neither have We the classic scenes
and sublime ruins Of famous Italy, but We
have a land than which none is faiTer rivers
unmatched in volume lakes that expand be-
yond the horizons verge; and our history pre-
ssnts a page 10 classic lines can match. That
the celebrated c~hroniclar Of Indian victories and
Italian triumpns will, with impartial hand,
trsuscribe what meets bis eye and ear among
us, we cannot doubt. Il has been our
effort to deal fairly with bin what we have
done bas not been hidden; much Of what We in
tend he knows: the use we wiz make Of our ap-
preaching victories is open before him. Oar
page. sail contain no honeysd words to win
bis good opinion, or to bias bis judgment; all
we ask Of him, IF Europe, and Of the world, is
impartial investigation and a fair decision.
LATEST FROM MISSOURI.
10 the Rrpublican, OF the 18th, We have the
latest information as to the movements OF the
opposing forces in Missouri. Tie las. advices
from Boonyills, where Gov. JACKSON is ma
king a stand, say that there were shout 5000
troops here, and 1000 more at the opposite
landing. The artilsryi1 the possession Of the
Governor had been placed on the elevated
ground known as the Fair Grounds, eommsnd-
ing the river. some pieces were also mounted
on the low ground opposite Boonvilis. Cover
nor JACKSON, with the forces under bin, would
offer resistance at this point, OF, if this deter
mination should be changed, the whole force
would be concentrated at Arrow Rock. The
upward-bound feet, with Gen. LYoS's com
mand on board, hailed the Emile on meeting
her, and obtained all the information possible
from the passengers. Having done this, they
were to dstsrmirs whether they would eHcoun-
ter the artillery At Boonvills from The boats, or
sisenbark at RockPoTt, ten miles below Boon
vile. There is good road between the two
points on The south side, and it is possible that
Gen. LYON may be able to enter Boonville in
the rear, and thus defeat Gov. hoKsON's plans
Of operations.
