A letter Just received i'll this city. an
nounccs that Mr.: Charlcs Russell, of
Wheeling, West Nirginin, late menu
Der of the Confederate House of Repre-
scutatives, has been pardoncd by the
President, and will hereafter reside i'll
Baltimore. Before the war Mr.. Russell
was the Attorney for the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, at the west end of the
road. He was twice elected to the Con-
felcrate House of Representatives, the
second time by 81 small and mixed coz
Stituency, consisting OF about dozen
West Nirginians, who were entitled to
vote, and about three hundred of
Gregg's Texas brigade, who were not,
but being encamPed near the polls, cast
their ballots by way of diversion. In
the Confederate Congress he was the
leader of the Davis party, and was rec
ogEiZed as the mOuth-piece of that func-
tiOnary. After the grand collapse, he
went to Canada, where he was at last
accounts. His pardon is said to have
been obtained through the influence of
the officers of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad.
Rumors of the above report have been
circulating around. Wheeling for some
time, but the statement of the Repubhc
is the only thing in print we have seen
on the subject. The pardon of Mr.. Rus
sell opens very wide the door we should
say to all other applications for if
there was any prominent person en-
gagged in the rebellion who had less
excuse than any other, we should say
that Chas.i w. Russell was the man.
He is to-day the most offensive man
to the people of West Virginia that
went out from their midst. He Joined
the conspiracy in cold blood, and in
pursuit of qualification solely for his
political aspirations. He became an
active and intense defNmer of all that
loyal men loved and revered in con-
ncctiOn with the Union, and did not
hesitate, in his speeches, and in his
committee reports, to use every artifice
to embitter the struggle, and prejudice
the final success of our arms. He was,
and is, II chief sinner-a sinner without
justification or preteXt, and altogether
ono of the most unfit subjects for Glenn
ency we know of. President johnson
has done n very unpalatablc act to the
people of this section in pardoning such
II man, and the officers of the Baltimore
and Ohio Road have not improved theil
status in the least in soliciting and Sc.
ducing the President.
We have n negative gratiication-c
slight offset as it were-in the fact tina
he is hereafter to reside III Baltimore
and not in Wheeling. We hope he vii
remain that far at least aloof from us
In the meantime we would recommend
that nll lesser rebels in West Virgini,
be at once pardoned. After the ere
construction" of Russell there is II,
justice in holding out against any o
his followers. We class him along will
such men as Breckenridge and Bcnjn
min, not in point of ability, but ii
point of fnithless dupicity ms to hi
original intentions.

The Shasta courier., 1865-06-17

NorHING in our opinion is more reprehen-
sible than the attempt many of our papers
are making to educate public sentiment to
the demand of what they are pleased to term
mercy to the leading rebels in the hands of
our Government, and now about being tried
for the highest crime known to the law.
After reading their officiating paragraphs,
we are only surprised that they do not take
Pixley's ground, declare them guiltless Of
of crime, and worthy of all praise as chiy-
alrous people, fighting as our forefathers
fought, for liberty.
We are greatly mistaken in the spirit and
stamina of the people who compose this
Government-we mean the loyal portion Of
tiff they do not demand at the hands of its
rulers, that exact justice be meted out, under
the law. to every prominent traitor, when
convicted Of treason. Nor do we believe the
Government would be safe in exhibiting
towards them what they term mercy, but
the people will term weakness. Pardon tc
leading rebels would be offering premium
to treason.
The Shasta courier., 1865-06-17

DIRT-EAr1NG FOR FEE.-The speech Of
Frank Pixley, recently delivered in San
Francisco. as one of counsel for the Saliva
dor pirates, aptly illustrates the fact. that We
should be cautious about committing our
selves too far in advance, in advocacy of the
claims of individuals. Three months ago
if we had been compelled to choose between
the several aspirants for Senatorial honors
Mr.. Pixley would have received our vote
In the speech referred to, he took occasion
to pass a high eulogium upon the gallantry
heroism and courtesy of the Semmeses anC
Mafits of the g Confederate Nary" thar
whom 'sno milder hammered men e'er scut
tied ship, or cut throat"
So far as we are concerned, Frank Pix
ley's political bung is extracted. ;.
If as lawyer, the proffer of a fee would
induce so wanton an outrage of the feeling
of his loval fellow citizens, we should dreaC
the effect of habit upon the future Senator
Stars and Stripes.

GEN. STEELE, with an army of 10000 men
has been ordered to the Rio Grande. For
eign ambassadors at Washington don't like
it. Count Montholon. the French Minister
is said to be about demanding an explanation
from Secretary Seward.
Now we would just like to be Secretary Of
State long enough to answer the Counts
queries on that subject. 1t strikes us that
we should say, MY very dear Count, Andy
johnson and his Cabinet are running this
machine, and we don't propose to explain
