Hosea (search for this): article 7
York city has elected a new Mayor. Therefore, says the oracular Russell of course we shall have a Northern civil war. Common sense people do not see the deduction, and thing the argument rather obscure. But then, is not obscurity a prophetic quality? Why, for thousands of years the world has been puzzling itself over some of the Biblical predictions, and can yet make nothing out of them. Regarding Russell, as we do, as not only he equal, but the superior, of such fellows as Jeremiah and Hosea, we defy any one to find any meaning in his utterances in any less time than twice as many thousand years. To be oracular one must be obscure. What is the use of being a prophet if every one can understand your reasons for your predictions? Nor is the objection less trivial that the reasons contradict the prophecy; for if the papers have no greater matter than their circulation to discuss, and if the people can become so excited about such an unimportant affair as a mayoralty election,

Mr. Russell was nowhere near the battle field, and yet ro; but then Meagher is only an Irishman, and Russell is that luaus natural, an Irish tory. After n contradicts these assertions, and says that Russell did nothing but spur up his horse and beat a hasty retreat; but is Russell's word to be doubted upon such evidence? Certainly not. Russell is amade such a fiasco and it were found out. But Russell is no ordinary soothsayer. Such failures do can yet make nothing out of them. Regarding Russell, as we do, as not only he equal, but the supeefore, to be without any religion?--Ah, no; Mr. Russell seems to write trash; but he knows more abolt in the ejection or suspension of Russell.

The prophet Russell upon American institutions.[from the New York Herald Jan. 1.] Still remaining in a country whose integrity he opposes, whose institutions he slanders, whose policy he misrepresents, and whose hospitality he abuses, Mr. Ll. D. Russell continues to write silly letters upon American affairs to the London Times, Having lost here what little reputation he had as a correspondent, he now seems anxious to convince those who read his letters that he is a prophet. The number of such phrases as "I told you so before," and "as I formerly predicted," and "as I said it would be," and "as I told you months ago," contained in his letters, would baffle the Lightning Calculator to compute. That Mr. Eussel brought extraordinary powers to his prophetic work no one can doubt. He had been in this country but a very short time before we discovered that he reported occurrences upon the clairvoyant principle, and that it was not at all necessary for him to be present in order

He had been in this country but a very short time before we discovered that he reported occurrences upon the clairvoyant principle, and that it was not at all necessary for him to be present in order to accurately describe any incident or occurrence. His description of the battle of Bull Run, for instance, and of the panic that ensued, was a mannerly piece of workmanship. It was impossible for ordinary people to unders

He throws the entire blame on Captain Wilkes, who he excuses on the score of patriotism. We extract a few of the reading points of the speech: It should not be forgotten that this question was simply one of law — just as was that of a matter of trespass between individuals; the object being to determine which was eight and which was wrong. But it cannot be forgotten that, in times past, on this identical point of law, Great Britain persistently held an opposite ground from that which she now takes.

But it cannot be forgotten that, in times past, on this identical point of law, Great Britain persistently held an opposite ground from that which she now takes. There are yet other points, however, on which had the ship been carried into port for adjudication, controversy must have arisen. The three following points have been p, especially of the French Government, in the recent letter of M. Thousand. Of course this whole discussion proceeds on the assumption that the rebels are to be regarded as belligerents, which is the character already accorded to them by Great Britain.
