From the New YORK Tribune.
Not long ago died the Col. Russell, known
in the Southwest ~ ''Osl Russell, who was
once Henry Clay's private secretary. He
was q man of intense egotism. whose chief
object in life WA to be admired and n0t0-
rious. Years and years ago, while in the
Missouri Legislature, he got the soubriquet
which chung to him all the rest of his life.
and actually carried him out Of his political
career. Ii was during . violent debate in
which he had shown an absurd pomposity.
that one of his political comrades rose and
quietly told . little story. He said tia: one
night Rnssell, while travelling through the
woods, lost bis way, and being stranger in
that part of the country, became rather
nervous. While in this sorry plight, he
suddenly heard voice not far away, calling
out, "Who, Who, who are you ?" The
answer was loud and prompt: Il am Col.
William H. Russell, for many years .
prominent member of the Kentucky Legis-
lature, was school commissioner for the
Southern district of Kentucky, am nov the
Representative of Galloway county in the
Missouri Legislature, am spoken Of - the
Wing candidate for next Congress, and am
lost. Who are you? Of course the ques-
ton wa repeated, and the answer vas again
returned with all its linked dignity until the
audience screamed with laughter and greeted
poor Russell whenever he dared to rise, With
" Who, who, Who are you?" And 10 he got
his name Of "Owl Russell"

In the case of the 6libustering steamer
Virginius, the Spanish authorities in Cuba
have acted rrecipitately upon rule which,
At the beginning of the secession war, the
American government assumed in regard to
Confederate vessel-namely. that they were
to be treated a. pirates. She had to abate
this pretension for two reasons.
Firstly, Great Britain and Louis Napoleon
took the ground that she could close the
Southern ports only by a blockade main.
tanned BY actual force, according to rules OF
war governing independent nations, and that
q proclamation of such blockade was a
recognition of q state of war, and of bel
ligerent rights in the rebels.
Secondly, she found it ineonvenient to
maintain this rule in practice, because the
early successes Of the secession party pl,ced
in their hands the means of retaliation. Ii
will be remembered that in one csse there
was . trial and sentence Of an officer of a
rebel ship, as q pirate, and that this was
waived, and he was placed upon the same
footing AZ prisoners Of war.
Spain has not proclaimed any blockade Of
Cuban ports; she has not recognized any ex-
istence Of belligerent conditions, or of war.
She holds the filibusters and rebels
criminals, and any vessel on the high seas
engaged in aiding them as q pirate. Span
ish methods OF !ealing with human life are
apt to be summary. In this case the autbori-
ties into whose possession the captured party
Of the Virginius came were served out with
Spanish celebrity BY being shot.
