ALABAMA LEGISLATURE. 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.

From tho Atlanta Now Era. Letter from Kx-Goreruor laham G. Harris, Overland Trip to Mexico—Studying Spanish Under Difficulties—In the Hails of the Montezumas—Interview with the Emperor and Empress— Confederates in Mexico—Invitations to 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. mm OF NEW GOODS No. 125 Broad Street. W. W.

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.

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.

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.
