eoloaizatiOn Proposed BY viralnin.


In 1900 there was an attempt at insur-
Eeetion near Richmond, Va. 1t excited
much fear and sOlicitude among the whites,
-. 30 that the question Of the disposal of the
g. negroes who were then or should become
s..i. free, came before the Legislature A reso-
tuition looking toward Colonization was
- adopted, December 81st, 1900, desiring the
Governor to correspond with the Presi-
3 dent (Mr. JefFerson) with respect to the
purchase Of lands outside of the State,
whittier persons obnoxious to the laws,
~ or dangerous to the peace Of society, may
bersmoFed." It will be seen that the word
ing Of this resolution is very guarded, no
direct reference being made to the negroes.
This arose from the fear under which the
numbers were acting. They dared not let
the slaves and free negroes know what
their object was. Governor Monroe, in
'''- communication with the President sx-
& planned the purpOrt of the resolution
: and the results sought to be attain
ed The Legislature had several
plans in view; one to transport the free
.sas negroes to what was then the Northwest
Territory, which embraced what is now
"a Ohio and the States west of her. Another
plan was to send the negroes to the West
E Indies, and another to South America, and
sti1I another to Africa. During the time
4 that the question was being agitated the
United States had acquired the territory
II Louisiana and Mr.. Jefferson intimated
that that afforded suitable field for the
eolonized negroes. The Act Of March
'a 26th, 1904, dividing Louisiana into two ter
81 riteries, the Southern of which was the
= territory Of Orleans, provided that no
3 slaves should be brought into the terrific
.aa " who had been imported into the oOun-
soy try since May Ist, 1898, but had no probi-
ton Of the entrance of free negroes. The
81 p, Legislature of Virginia, therefore, fixed
o.. its attention at once in that direction, and
on the 22nd of January, 1906, the follow
. ing resolution, first passed by the House,
vas agreed to by the Senate:
sRaolDed That the Senators Of this State
In the Congress Of the United States be in
structed, and the Representatives be re-
ouested, to exert their best efforts for the
purpose Of obtaining from the General
Government q competent portion Of terri
i tory, in the country Of Louisiana, to be ap-
propriated to the residence Of such people
Of color as have been, or shall be, emanci-
pated in Virginia, OF may hereafter be-
come dangerous to the public safety.
The measure was never carried into eff
feet, The question Of African colonization
nooH occupied the public mind, and this
project slumbered, only to be awakened by
the tumult Of civil war.

starved TO Denth bythe Rebels,

There died in this city, on Tuesday, q
man named Edgar B. Trumbull, of starva-
tion: We relate his story as told just be-
fore his death. BE belonged to the 1st
Cavalry; was taken prisoner at the same
time as the late lamented Broadhesd, and
was sent, along with 5000 others, to Belle
Isle, N. C.,where they were confined in
space about as large as too ordinary city
lots All the food allowed them was fire
ounces each of H1usty bread per day, to be
washed down with an equal proportion Of
miserable water. Under this kind Of
treatment his $50 pounds of flesh wasted
away to 75 pounds of skin and bones, when
he was exchanged. By taking large pO-
tions of whisky and quinine, he succeeded
in keeping body and soul together until he
reached this city, where he died in q few
hours.-Dstroit Ado. q TTib.

The Philadelphia Press says that the
military authorities at Washington have
determined to make 6 diversion in 8 diff
ferent quarter from that now occupied by
the Army Of the Potomac. One Of the
most distinguished generals has expressed
the opinion that to take Richmond now we
must temporarily divert the enemy's at
tention from his present fortified base of
operations. No immediate advance will
be made on Richmond by way Of Fred
ericksburg. After mentioning the modes
Of advance by way of York and James
rivers, the Press suggests third BY way
Of Suffolk, through NansemOnd, Isle Of
Wight, Southampton, Sussex and Prince
George counties, along excellent reads
through level, well Watered plain, seiz-
ing Blandford Heights, overlooking Peters
burg. This is q march Of fifty-eight miles.
In the latter movement We would have the
cover Of gunboats in the James river, II
needed, and the privilege Of landing re-
Inducements as high up as City Point,
twelve miles below Petersburg and Cog
gins Point, fourteen miles below that eity'
Prom Petersburg a cavalry expedition
would be necessary only to proceed west to
Burkesvills, Junction Of the Tennessee
and Danville railroads, and destroy them
both. It seems to us that If Petersburg
we're once in our hands it would give u!
virtual possession Of the entire South, and
force General Lee to fight his army either
to determination or submission, without
any chance Of retreat or means Of obtain
ing supplies OF reinfOrcemsnts from the
south and southwest.

A foreign journal, in an article upon the
death penalty, revives some curious stories
of the times Of the French Revolution when
the guillotine did its bloody work. The
head Of one young man who was executed
was put into the hands of medical men for
experiments. The eyes were closed and
the tongue protruded. At the end Of eight
minutes the tongue was pricked with pin,
when it was drawn in and the face made
a grimace, expressive Of pain. The sec
ond head was that Of woman. The eyes
were open, and their supplicsting looks
were accompanied by many tears. Four
teen minutes after the execution the eyes
turned towards the side from Whsnce the
woman's name was called. A third head
was that Of the most guilty Of the crimi-
nails. A slap was given to the face when
the eyes opened, the face flushed with an
indescribable expression Of anger and fe-
rocity, and shudder Of anguish was Visi-
BILE on the neck being touched.
