JOHN Mitchell HicHLy INTERESTING LET
TER.--We publish today, exclusively. a highly
interesting letter from John Mitchell, written
Immediately before his escape, and intended to
vindicatc bis character from Misrepresentation
in reference to the dangerous step he was about
to take, in the event Of his being killed or cap
tured in the struggle. Mr.. Mitchell remarks
that it would be quite an easy matter to escape
from the island if he violated his ticket Of
leave; but to avoid dishonor, and yet to sue
coed, was the difficulty, Not only did he sue
coed, but succeeded in his own bold, character
istic way The authorities, who had been com
pletely off their guard, by the belief that he
never would attempt to escape, were complete
" COMPOUNDED and bewildered when he surren-
dered in person his ticket Of leave, and asked
to be taken into custody. Before the magis-
trate recovered from bis bewilderment, Mitchell
who rightly thought he was not bound foreman
any longer, was on his horse, which was out
side in waiting, and, after six weeks Of difficult
ty and danger, finally escaped from British
ground. In the letter we publish he gives his
reasons for making the attempt to escape to
the American republicans worship Of whose
principles did not begin in his exile He stood
up for this country when it was assailad by
O'Connell, many years ago, in his native land.
He was the first man there, in modern times,
that declared for repnblicanism and now, in
his own eloquent words, he naturally seeks
refuge from tyrants at the evcr-open sanctuary
door Of our grand republic mighty nursing
mother OF liberty and justice cradle of Gods
evangelists of vengeance" Altogether the
letter is in perfect keeping with the career and
character Of this remarkable man. and will Dc
perused with deep interest by all our readers
