ATLANTA, GA, August Abraham
Lincoln'S views on colonization as a So
luton Of the race problem in this coun-
try, have been frequently referred TO In
the recent discussion OF the subject,
but the contradictory statements made
show that much confusion exists as TO
what the great Liberator really thought
OF the project. Perhaps no man living
is better qualified TO clear up this doubt
than the Rev. Dr. James Mitchell, now
= resident of this city, aud for many
wears an agent of the American Coloni-
cation Society.
In this capacity, Dr. Mitchell was
thrown into close personal relations
with Mr.. Lincoln, and was intimately
associated with him both before aud
during the crucial periods OF his re-
markable career. Appointed agent OF
Of The Colonization Society in ls4s, he
prosecuted bis work IN the Northwest,
which was his territory, until the out
break Of the war, receiving during that
period the active cooperation OF such
men as Gov. Joseph A. Wright, OF To-
diana, aud stephen A. Douglas, as well
as Mr.. Lincoln.
DR.. Mitchell is native OF London
derry, ireland. He came 10 America
while young man, and entered upon
the Methodist ministry, in Mobile. lie
afterwards engaged in regular itinerary
work in Indiana, subsequently serving
ten years 10 Virginia, and eighteen In
Georgia, where he is still Identified
with church work, preaching occasion
ally, and taking an active part In the
educational enterprises Of the Georgia
conference, OF which he is an honored
member.

Pointing TO the wall OF his study,
where hung an engraved copy Of Car
penter's painting of the cabinet meeting
and the signing of the preliminary
emancipation proclamation, Septem Der
%, 1862, issued after every effort TO
bring the border states TO agree to any
terms involving the abolition OF slavery,
had failed, the doctor said:
THAT is strictly colonization docu-
meut. On the 30ih OF the month, Mr..
Seward sent circular on the subject Of
colonization to each of our foreign min
listers. On the first OF October, the
Earl OF Newcastle notified the British
colonies TO place their agents under the
direction OF the British legation at
Washington. January l, 1868, brought
the final proclamation, which, how
ever, did not change Mr.. LiucOln's
policy Of colonization, nor was IL so in
tended
But at every step be was resisted By
several of the departments 10 mis- efforts
10 draw England 10 our side on the
colonization question. The gentlemen
in charge placed him a. 3 great disad-
vantage before bis friends OF overrid-
ing his will; but he was used 10 cap
tious and dissgreeable resistance. and

1t appears that the cheese mite under

"hypopus" stage. The mite, original
ly soft and easily killed by heat or ex-
posture, in this stage suddenly becomes
hard and able to endure great changes,
and also to live long time without
food. 1t is also then provided with spe
cial adherent organs, so that attached
to insects it can be widely distributed,
though exposed to the most adverse cir
cumstances. Scientific Journal.

Assaulted With a Gun,

w. w. Hanlon, of the GAINESVILLE
Republican, while sitting in his office on
Saturday morning last, was attacked by
Marshal Scott Barnes, of that place. The
Marshal came up behind HanlOn, thrust
a revolver at his head and swore that he
would kill him. Hanlon grappled with
the officer and succeeded in disarming
him. The assault grew out of some
structures on the conduct of the Marshal
published in the Republican. The Mar
shal had been drinking for some days.
After the trouble the Marshal left the
town.
