The ESCAPE OF JoHs MfTcHELL.-k cor.
respondent Of the New York Times has
irrnished that paper with the following par.
iiculars Of the escape Of John Mitchell from
Van Dieman's Land:
His friends having made the necessary
preliminary arrangements, he proceeded to
the police Office Of the district where hs re-
sided, and, with bis usual polteness, hand
ed 20 the magistrate letter. containing a
resignation of bis "ticket Of leave" The
magistrate, as was his duty, Immediately o.
pened IL, and, "with spectacles on nose, :"
commenced deyouriDg It's important con-
tents. As our friend John had had the ad.
vantage of prior reading, he did not care
to listen 10 a recital, and conseqneDtlv he
left the august presence OF his honor, aud in
a moment was on the back of a trasty steed,
which two IF his (aBd our) friends had sad
died aud waiting for him near by. The
three, each we'll mounted, rode with beeom-
ing haste to the sea coast, where boat a.
waited them, aud the noble Mitchell was
soon pacing the deck Of vessel, at the
masthead of which doated the stars and
stripes. That flag has 1oated over many a
true man, but never over one truer to the
cause of liberty throughput the world, and
to every ennobling sentiment and feeling,
than John Mitchell. The vessel Immediately
putto sea. and is now on her way to the
harbor of New York.
| The writer isinclined to believe that Jno
Martin, another Of the pioneers. is with him,
but Of this be is not certain. Mrs. Mitchell
and her six children have sailed from Ho-
bart Town, and are now on their way to
join Mr. Mitchell in New York.

Our NEW CONSUL AT PANAMA.-Col Thomas
VIM. Ward Of Texas, lately appointed Consul at Pa
mama, is well known as one Of the most chvalrous
and high-minded men of the South He was born in
the city of Dublin, about forty-fve years ago, and
was appointed cadet in the military school Of the
Honorable East India Company, at the age of fifteen.
In 1927 he left London for the United States, and
soon after proceeded to New Orleans, where he pur-
sued his inherited profession of engineer and archi
tect until the breaking out Of the war in Texas He
had now acquired handsome fortune; but his ar.
dent temper was kindled by the outrages Of the
Mexicans against our countrymen, and he raised and
equipped, with his own resources company Of vol
unteers, at the head of whom he marched to Golad,
and quickly after won the admiration Of the
public, in the hard-fought battle of San Antonio de
Bexar The Texan army was under Colonel Milan,
who was killed at an early period of the prolonged
engagement. A short time before, the right leg Of
Capt. Ward was carried away by cannon ball.
The remains of one hero, with part Of the other
were buried in the same coffin as soon as the army
found leisure to bestow on them appropriate
military honors. After the death Of Milan,
the contest was pursued with extraordi-
nary energy, and Ward performed prodgies
of valor in the two days which succeeded the loss of
his leg. The victory which the Texans ultimately
achieved embittered the feelings Of Santa Anna
more than anything else during the war, and at the
end of six weeks he succeeded in retaking the place.
killing the renowned Colonel Crockett, and many of
the other defenders. Ward subsequently lost his
right arm, so that he has now the dilapdated ap-
pearance of Lord Nelson though much larger and
fercer looking man than that hero-having, indeed,
the most splendid presence Of any man in Texas
except Senator Rusk.
Soon after the establishment Of the independence
of Texas Colonel Ward was appointed Commissioner
of the General Land Office, which important office
he held under all the administrations of the govern.
mcnt until the republic was annexed to the United
States, and for considerable time afterwards-ey-
hibtng an executive ability scarcely paralleed in
such positions, and fnallyretring with the respect
and admiration OF the entire people of Texas. Col.
Ward Is one of the noblemen of nature He isthorough
ly informed in politics and general affairs, is in
dustrious and prompt in his business habits, writes
with decided ability (having learned to use his left
hand for the purpose since he lost his rght and by
his weight Of character, agreeable manners, and
many genial and attractive personal qualities, car
ries with him more good will and good wishes than
any other person would have commanded who could
have been selected for the important consulshp Of
