aiVINTIITII DAY.
SEN ATE.
Friday, Dec. 8, 18(56.
AFTERNOON 8R8SION,
Mr. Qarrett introduced a joint resolu
tion which vrae passed, providing that, the
House concurring, the General Assetubl'
will adjourn at noon on Tuesday, the 12tl
inst., snd moot again in adjourned session
it the Cspitol on Monday, January 14,
1806, at 10 o'clock, a. in.—yeas ?0, nays 7.
The Senate resumed the consideration
of the apprentice bill, which after several
imtmlnienls, was roferred to the commit
tee on tho Judiciary.
Mr. Cooper introduced a bill to amend
section 1902 of tho Code, by adding the
words “to employ laborers to cultivate,
improve and keep in repair and carry on
the plantation,” which was read three
times under a suspen.ion of the rules and
puitd.
Mr. Jones, from Committee on Judicia*
ry, reported that it was inexpedient et this
session to mako any new counties.
XlUHTIRNTn DAY.
Saturday, Doc. 9, 1865.
Mr. Cooper introduced a bill "to regu
late contracts with freodmen, and to en-
forcetho same." The Senate spool some
time perfecting this bill, pending which—
A message was received to the effect
that tho House concurs in the report of
the Conference Committee on an act to
protect freodmen in their rights of person
sed properly in this State. The Senate
concurred in tho report of the committee,
snd the bill was adopted. [Soe House
proceedings.]
The Senate resumed the consideration
of Mr. Cooper's bill. Mr. Wilkinson ap
proved the principle in the bill giving the
frsedmen a lien upon the crope to the ex
tent of their wages, urging that the plan
ter would make no contracts under such a
iyitem, because he would be ruined by
numberless suits to recover claims under
tbie law. A mart might have to defend
fifty or tnoro suits at thoyear’i end brought
by ignorantand dissatisfied freedtnon, and
lit. expanses of defending such BUits would
of themselves ruin him.
Mr. fluckabe defended the clause, as
only just to the negro, who if no such pro
tection were secured would De at the mer
cy of any who choose lo cheat him.
Mr. Ashley opposed the clause adding
k> Hr. Wilkinson’subjections, the consia-
oration tbat no man could manage success
fully his business, because the negro with
hit lien would have a veto power upon all
the business operations of the planter.
Ths Senator from Greene was afraid that
the white man would rob tho negro, he
need have no fears on that score, for if
the while man were to enter the list against
the negro in the way of stealing, he would
snd himself speedily distanced.
Mr. Cooper defended the bill. Tho
Question must bo squaroly met. Tho la-
bur is the dependence of the country—
the means of our support, the source of
bur wealth. Shall tho freodmen be pro*
tectnd in his labor and secured payment
j fur it, or shall he bo denied the guarantee
ol tho reward which we all know sweet-
'"l labor? If denied this, he will be
uncuursged and disheartened, and tho
Pointer and the country will lose all the
Msantagos which proper treatment and
\i e enable us to derive from them.
Mr. Felder ably advocated tho bill.
* !\ v'ndssy opposed the provision,
oss'dering that the othor sections of the
ill Mlurded ample provisions to the freed-
provided punishment for the
suite man who violates the contract. We
'reloip.lsUng too much and complica-
v „J,V"• ' n effect to extond special fa*
'otitism to tho negro.

Come to Mexico—Commodore Maury
Commissioner of Colonisation—Lands
Intended for Emigrants, Elc. t Etc,
Through tho kindness of Mr. George
W. Adair, of the firm of Clayton, Adair
& Purse, we are permitted to make the
iollowing extracts from a lettor recently
receivod from Hon. Isbam G. Harris, ex-
Governor of Tennessee, who is now at
Cordova, Mexico. The lettor is highly
entertaining:
Cordova, Mkxioo,
Nov. 12th, 1866.
George W, Adair :
My Doar Sir: I lingered near Grenada,
endeavoring to arrange saute business
matters, until the 14th of May. In the
meantime, I ha l a skiff built, and on the
morning of the 14th 1 embarked, somo six
miles east of Greenwood, and set sail for
the trans-Mississippi, the party consUtin
of Gen. Lyon, of Kentucky, myself, am
our two servants. We navigated the
backwater for 120 miles,and on tho morn
ing of tbo 21st, just before daylight, 1
crossed over to the Arkansas shore. I
crossed at tho foot of Island No. 75, just
below the mouth of the Arkansas river;
proceeded westward as far as tho back
water was navigable, and on the morning
of tho 22d 1 left my frail bark, bought
horses, mounted the party.and set out for
Shrovoport, where I hoped to find an
army resolved on continued resistance to
Federal rule; but before reaohing Shreve-
S ort, I learned that tho army of the trans-
lissitsippi had disbandod, and scattered
to the winds, and all the officers of rank
had gone to Mexico.
Having no further motive to visit
Shreveport, I turned my oourse to Hod
river county, Texas, where a portion of
my negroes and plantation stock had been
carried somo two years ago. I reached
thero on the 7th June; was taken sick and
confinod to my bed a week. On the 15th
June, with my baggage, cooking utensils
and provisions on a puck mule, I set out
for San Antonio, where I expected to
overtake a large number of Confederate
(civil and military) officers en route for
Mexico. Reached San Antonio on tho
2Clh, and learned that all Confederates
had left for Mexico somo ten days or two
woeks before. On tho morning of the
27th, I started to Eagle Pass on the ltio
Grande—the Federals holding all the
crossings of that river below Eagle Pass.
1 reached Eagle Pubs on the evening of
the 30tb, ami immediately crossed over lo
the Mexican town of Piodras Negrai. On
the morumg of 1st July, set out for Mon
terey ; arriied there on the evening of
tbe 'Jin. lluiu 1 overtook Gen. Price and
ex-Gov. Polk, of Missouri, who were
starting to the City of Moxico the next
morning, with an escort of twenty armed
Missourtuns. As I was going to the city,
and tbe trip was a long and dangerous
one to rneke alone, I decided logo with
them, though I was literally worn out
with over 1500 miles of continuous horse
back travel. 1 exchanged my saddle
horse, saddles, etc., for an ambulance;
put my two mules to it, gave the whip
and linos to Kan, bought me a Spanish
grammar and dictionary, took the back
seat, and commenced tbo study of the
the trip at
of a family, and 320 to each single man, a
free passago lo the country to such as are
not able to pay their own expenses, free
dom from taxalion for ono year, and from
military duly for five years, religious tol
eration, &c, dec.
Commodore Maury has boon appointed
Imporial commissioner of colonization,
which makes bis authority in the matter
of colonization second only to that of the
Emperor. Gen. Price, Judgo Perkins and
myself were appointed agents of coloniza
tion, and requested to examine tbo lands
lying upon and noar tho line of railroad,
from tho city of Mexico to Veta Cruz, for
the purpose of determining whether they
were suited to Ameriurn colonization. W o
are engaged at this timo in the discharge
of that duty. Wc find in Lhe vicinity of
this place the most beautiful, and all
things considered, the best agricultural
country that I have over seen. The cli
mate is delightful, never hot, never cold,
always temperate, always pleasant. Tho
soil richer and more productive than
the best of tho prairio lands of Mississippi
in the Okolona country, yielding large
crops of corn, barley, rice, tobacco, sugar
cane and coffee, with all the fruits of the
tropies, and tho best that you ever tasted.
You can raise two crops of corn on tbe
same land each year, tho usual mode of
farming hero is a crop of corn and a crop
of tobacco, ott the same laud, tho
corn ripening always koforo time tu
plant tobacco, und ten miles from hero, in
the direction ef the coast, you strike as
good a cotton country as can bo found in
the world.
The most profitable crop here is coffee,
you plant about 6 or 700 troos to tho acre,
it begins to boar at two and produces a full
crop at four years old, you can always cal
culate safely on an average of two pounds
to tbe troe, though thero aro instances of a
troo's bearing as high as twonty-eighl
mtinds. Tho tree is hardy, and will livo
fifty or one hundred years. It costs about
as much labor to cultivate and pul into
mnrkot an acre of coffeo us it does an acre
of corn in Goorgia.
Tho cofl'ce plantation with its shudo of
bananas, figs, oranges,mangos and zapotes,
with tbo walks fringed with pine apple,
all in full boaring, is the richest and most
beautiful spectacle upon which my eyes
has over rested. 1 have selected 646 acros
about ton miles from borewhere I propose
to surround myself with the cofl'ce plant
ation, in tho midst of which I will nes
tle down, constantly inhaling tho uders of
the rich tropical fruits and gHudy colored
and fragrant tropical flowers, in an atmos-
pboro of perpetual spring, yet turning the
eye to the North wost you constantly be
hold tho snow capped peaks of Orczaba,
and l’opo Catapotl, from which I can
draw my ico at all sonsons of tho your.
There are about 30 Confederates now
here, all of whom will locate their lands
and commence tho work of settlement
within a week or ten days.
Tho placo whoro wo begin the first colo
ny was highly improved and in a high
stuto of cultivation a hundred yours ago.
Tho extensive ruins of what was once
magnificent structures show that these
Haciendas woro highly productive and
tbe homes of wealth, luxury and refine
ment, but about 50 years since slavery was
abolished in tho Elute of Vera Cruz and
tbe proprietors of these magnificent ustitoj
left tho coun ry with the largo fortunes
they hnd amassed. Tito church seizod the
lands aud allowed them to lie idle and go
to ruin, Tho buildings upon each of those
places must havo cost Irom $100,000 to
500,000. Tho church held the property
until about Syoarssinco when it was taken
by the Government, and tho Government
now sells it to us for colonization at $1 per
acre in Qualities of G50 acres to each head
of a family, and 820 to each single man on
a credit of 1, 2,8, 4 and 5 years. This is
tho boginning of tho Ural Confederate col
ony in Moxioo. Amongst those who pro
pose to sottlo immediately aro Gen. Price
and Gen. Sholley from Mo., Judge Per
kins of La., and myself. The resources of
this country aro such as to insure fortune
to tho onergf and industry tbat has usual
ly characterized our geoplo. The wonder
is that they hare been permitted to remain
undeveloped so long, nut this is the most
indolont, lazy and worthless population
on earth.

We tngde
easy stages ot about 2o miles per day, and
reached tho City of Mexico on the even
ing of theOih August. The trip was one
of the longest, most laborious and haz
ardous of my life ; but 1 will not tax your
time or mine with its details, many of
which woulu interesFyou deeply if 1 was
there to give them to you.
Our reception upon the part of the
Government officials here was all that we
could have expectod or desired. We
woro invite! to an audience with tho Km
peror at the Palace,4bo far-famed Halls
of tbe ilonlegumas. At the time tixod,
we called and were most kindly received
by the Kuiporor and Empress, and wero
assured of their sympathy in our misfor*
tunes, and of their earnest hope that wo
might find homes for ourselves and friends
iu Mexico. The Empress was our inter*
prater in the interview, She speaks flu
ently tho French, Spanish, German, and
English languages, and is iu all respects
a great wumuu,
we overtook at tbo City of Mexico, Gon
Magruder, Commouoro Maury, Governor
Allen, of La., Judge Perkius of La., Gov.
Reynolds of Missouri and Gov, Murrah
and Gov. Clark of Texas, with many oth
er and lesser Confederate lights. On the
6th of September, tbe Emperor published
a decree opening all of Moxico to immi
gration aad colonization, and Commodore
Maury and myself and other Confederates
were requested to prepare regulations to
accompany the doqree. which we did, and
which were approved by the Emperor on
the 27th. Tne decree aad regulations effer

amongst which are a donation ot public

Will any of the people of the Southorn
States fool inclined to seek new homes ? or
will they follow the example of Lee, John
ston and others? Mexico presents the
finest field that I have ever seen for the
onterpiise of our poople, and now that
slavery is abolished in the South, hired
labor can be much more easily procured
here and made much more profitable than
in any part of the Unitod States. 1 do
not propose howover to urge or oven ad-
viso any ono to come, I only propose to
? ;ive them facts and leave thorn to decide
or themselves us 1 havo done for myself,
such as feel inclined to come will be re
ceived with open arms und cordial woL
come. But enough of this.
Where is Forrest, and wbutis he doing?
and whore und how is everybody else? for
l havo heard from none of our friends
since I left Mississippi.
Give my kind rogarda to Mrs. Adair
Robbln, Jack, and Forrest und kiss Mary
for mo, and tell her that it would give me
great pleu?uro to havo u romp with her
this evening.
Write me fully and do your best at
penmanship so that I mny be able to read
at least the groatest part of tho letter. I
sent you a copy of tho “Mexican News,’’
nglisb newspaper edited by Gov.
Allen, about a month Ago. I hope you
received it, though thero was very littlo ot
inlorest in it except that it shows the fact
that we had started an American nowsna*
per at the city of Mexico. 1 neglected to
say to you thut this plaoo is situated on the
line of Railroad from Vera Cruiz to tbe
city of Mexico, seventy miles west of Vera
Cruz. Tho railroad is now in operation
to within 18 miles of this place and all the
balance to tbo city of Mexico is under
contract and tho work rapidly progressing.
It is a few hours run by rail fioin boro to
Vera Cruz, from Vera Cruz it is two days
by steam to New Orleans and from Now
Orleuna it is three or four days by rail to
Atlanta, so you see that we aro still neigh
bors even if you should remain in Geor
gia. Tbe road is owned by an Kuglish
Company but is almost ontirely in Ameri
can hands,

mate. Direct your letter to me ut Cordo
