NOTR FROM THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT.
The Journal de st. Petersburg, Of the 10Th
OF January, publishes a note, dated the 2lst,
from Prince Gortschakof, to Baron Stoekle, at
Washington, stating that the Emperor has with
deep satisfaction, seen his anticipation confirm
ed by the determination Of the Federal Govern
ment to deliver up Mason and Slidells The
Emperor hopes the same wisdom and modeIa-
ton will guide the steps of the Federal Govern
ment in its interior policy and expresses his
conviction that the Federal Government will
IN carrying out that policy, place itself above
popular passion. The Emperor also states
that he should with great satisfaction see the
Unign reconstructed by conciliatory measures,
as the maintenance of American power indu-
ssnees, in considerable degree, the general po-
htical equilibrium.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Post says that the President in
formed Seuator, one evening last week,
that the original plan of the Burnside ex.
petition had been given up, because the re.
bells had got hold of it. The same writer
says:
The attention of the new Secretary of War
has been directed to the fact that secession
lists in the District are in constant correspOn-
dence with the rebel leaders, and that rebel
spies reside in Washington. A inent
citizen yesterday gave information that we'll
known rebel army officer is secreted among
his family friends here. be has not syet been

the fact that he was in the city last week, is
established beyond doubt.
We copy the following announcement
of the death of Capt. John L. Mcdonnell,
from the Jacksonville, Illinois, Sentinel, of
the Oath instant. Captain Mcconnell
spent last autumn in St. Paul, for the ben
eft of his health, and was known to many
of our citizens:
We regret to announce the death of Captain
John L.. Mcconnell of this city. He died on
Friday, January 18th. Captain Mcconnell was
the oldest son of Hon. Murray Mcconnell, of
this city. Before he had reached his ma
jority the Mexican war broke out, and
he was among the first to volunteer his services
under the gallant Colonel Hardin. He was
elected captain OF his company and served
with distinguished credit until our troops re-
turned home. From the close of his military
career until bis death Captain Mcconnell de-
voted his attention chiefly to the practice of
the law, also participating actively in the poll
tics of the day, and acquiring considerable rep.
utation as the author of several literary works.

"A New York gentleman who has just
returned from Washington, states that in
an interview with the President he found
him laboriously employed and considerably
careworn from the continual pressure OF
private and public claims upon his atten-

can he possibly receive the thousands of
callers who throng to the White House.
The Empress Eugene has declared

Hon. Jno. j. Crittenden is deeply affect

baen in the House since the report of the
battle of Somerset was received. Although
he has two sons in the Union army, the
presence of one in the rebel army, the old.

that Gen. Crittenden deserted his command
at Somerset is not believed by any who
know him. Rebel though he be, be is ac>

murdered Sioux short time since, and
are torturing him to death. They have
