RUSSIAN ExTRADITIoN TREATY.
Special TO the Gazette.
| WASHINGTON, Feb. l2.-COlopei Charles

who performed valuable service for the
Union cause during the late war, has Just
received from General John B. Torchin .
letter in reference to the Russian extrGdi-
ton treaty, in which that gentleman
criticises some of the statements msde

articles on Siberian cIiltS, IS well as the
statements made by Stepnisk in letter
recently published.
General Torchin WAS lieuteuant-col
onel IN the Russian army. He served
this country faithfully as 8 brigsdier-gen-
ersl during the war, emo is now living in
R4dom, Washington county, Ill. In his
letter he says:

articles. II is evident thst the man has
given good deal of time to collect infOr-
nation and documents. In the first
article he states what is the Obi ct Of the

mis- general premises are wrong. He
ssys that the principal cause
OF all the attempts on the life Of
the Cssr is the bad treat
ment of the arrested revOlutionists by
the authorities, which produced such ST
intense hatred among the Nihilists tnal
they want to revenge II
"This Is e wrong superstition. If he Is
sincere, il shows that he had not studied
sn6rcnism, which is the same thing what

sympathy strongly enlisted in favor q
them and by the misrepresentation be
received an impression thEt, because they
wanted to sWeliurate the order Of things
in Russia, the government treated them
ipDumapIy. And there is, I believe, bis
mistake. lie does not know enough oil
the creed OF the fellows. They are thu
civilized thugs Of Europe as there are
Wild thugs of lads. Their evangile is &c
kill everybody who is IN th5ir way aud
prevents them to overthrow the present
order of things. They commence with
the Gar, but they would kill of15sls arc
even private individuals II they find them
dangerous to their otj cts. They have 6
particular code OF mCrals, too, like the
Jesuits have. They will lie, folswear
deceive and do hundred things which
are counted By US dishonoIable, but Il
them they are honorable, because they
help hem TO attsin their Obi cts.
"Eeither government nor q private
lndiYicual can deal with them in any or
binary way. knowing what auarchisu
is, and having experienced practically &c
what its teachings may lead, as the case
WAS in Chicago sud partly IN New York
il would be folly tor this country e
refuse to make the proposed trI atI

is rot better than in Europe. They d,
not acknowledge a political republic a.

it; anarchy is their panaccs for all evils
and only anarchy can lead the world t.
happiness.
