Meagher (search for this): article 7
then, what is the veracity of an official report compared to that of a Times correspondent? Mr. Russell was nowhere near the battle field, and yet he saw Capt. Meagher play the coward. It is true that all of the officers of the Sixty-ninth, and all other persons who were witnesses of the contest, agree that Capt. Meagher fouCapt. Meagher fought like a hero; but then Meagher is only an Irishman, and Russell is that luaus natural, an Irish tory. After the battle Mr. Russell wrote that he encouraged, animated, and talked with the flying soldiers. It is true that a gentleman who was with Mr. Russell during the ride to Washington contradicts these assertions, and says thMeagher is only an Irishman, and Russell is that luaus natural, an Irish tory. After the battle Mr. Russell wrote that he encouraged, animated, and talked with the flying soldiers. It is true that a gentleman who was with Mr. Russell during the ride to Washington 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 a medium, and sees things by clairvoyance. It is not necessary for him to see a battle in order to know all about it, or to be present with men in order to converse with them.
Eussel (search for this): article 7
tality 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 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
Fremont (search for this): article 7
ch Mr. Russell aspires to belong, would curse his unlucky stars, and either commit suicide or change his place of business forthwith, if he had made such a fiasco and it were found out. But Russell is no ordinary soothsayer. Such failures do not in the least dispirithim. His "self- consciousness." as Oakey Hall calls Massa Greeley's vanity, is altogether too great to admit of a defeat. He picks his prophetical flint and tries again. This time he predicts a Northern civil war because Fremont was not presented with a real sword for nothing. Evidently he imagines that the Pathfinder intends to burke Honest Old Abe, transfix the Cabinet like pigeons on a skewer, and seize the Government. Conscious, however, that he is unprophetically behind the age, and that he has read in the Herald that the Abolition conspiracy is unpopular, and only exhibits itself in certain non-combative ways, peculiar to the excitable Greeley and the virulent Philips, Mr. Russell shirts his ground and bois

h, residents and drive them out of the country. When he sees conspiracy breeding in a newspaper discussion about circulation, and civil war pregnant in a chapter election, we folks who have not the girt of double one had better be silent and look but for squalls. We have not the slightest doubt that Russell's predictions of a Northern civil war will prove as true as his assertions that the North would never fight; that the Onion can never be restored and that the people would resist the surrender of Mason and Sildell. It is with unfeigned sorrow we notice that several of our contemporaries write Russell down an ass, and that people generally regret that the threatened war with England did not at least result in the ejection or suspension of Russell. Russell dose lie, vilify, slander, abuse, misrepresent, traduce the North and support the rebels, it is true; but then he is a prophet and an Irish Englishman, and ought to have a little license, if it be only a license to leave.
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,

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.
