Letter from Ex-Governor Harris.
Wc find in the Nashville Union and
American the following letter, which
wc copy at the request of some of our
subscribers :
Cordova, Mexico, March 2, 18G0.
Mr Dear Sir :
* * * * * * *
I am receiving by each American
steamer an immense number of letters
from all parts of the United States which
my whole time, if devoted to it, wonbT"
not be sufficient to answer. These letters
show the existence of a lively interest in
colonization in Mexico, and especially in
the valley of Cordova. Several of the
last steamers.have brought large numbers
of immigrants from the United States.
The lands owned by the Government in
this valley have all been taken by the
immigrants recently arrived, and were
not sufficient to supply the demand ol
those already here; but there are a great
many large and valuable estates in the val
ley, and some of them adjoining the colo
ny, which can be purchased of private
parties on accommodating terms. We
purchased yesterday, for some"friend8 re
cently arrived, an excellent hacienda of
of 3150 acres, adjoining the lands of the
colony at $3,20 per acre, one-tlurd cash,
rid the balance on a credit of one and
two years, without interest. There is a
considerable amount of sugar and coffee
already growing upon the estate* and a
lair proportion of laud cleared and in cul
tivation, with a number of Mexican hou
ses on the place. In view of these id-
vantages, I think these gentlemen have
done better in purchasing than they would
have done to have purchased land from
the Government, as I did, and begin in
the woods with houses to build and farms
to open, etc.
The Government lias lands in other and
desirable localities of the two classes, i. c.
the public lands proper, which have never
passed from the hands of the Govcrn-
ouent, and those that have passed'into
private hands, been reduced to cultiva
tion, and subsequently acquired by the
Governmont. Lands of the first olass are
given to immigrants in limited quantities
for actual and immediate settlement.—
Those of the latter class are sold to them
in limited quanties for the same purpose,
at very low rates and on a credit. The
lands upon which the colony is planted
in this district, are of the latter class.
They were were sold to us at$l per acre,
payable in five equal annual instalments,
with six per cent, interest.
[ find all immigrants arriving at Vera
Cruz anxious to settle in this valley. It
is natural tii.ft they should, as it is a beau
tiful, rich, hcaiti.’V and highly productive
country, very well timbered and watered
by several bold, clear, rushing mountain
.streams, and a large number of most ex^
cellent free stone springs, with a large
number of Americans have already set
tled here. But those who settle in this
valley hereafter, will have to make their
ovru arrangements with private par
ties for lands; and my advice to those
who wish to do so, is for ten or twenty
fa-ieirtcss to unito, send an agent \?ith au
thority and the means to purchase fcnds
for them, or to examine the lands owneu
by the Goverament in other localities,
and determine where the colony is to set
tle, and make all necessary arrangements
preparatory to the coming of the fami
lies. The purchaser of private property
is entitled to all the benefit of decrees foe
the etteottrxgeiiYect (<af,colonization.
The year is divided here into the rainy
and dry season. The former beginning
in May and ending in October. We gen
erally have bright and beautiful mornings
during the rainy season, though about
one, two, throe, or four o’clock in the
evoEtcg you may calculate with certainty
upon a -shower, if not a heavy rain. Du
ring the dry season, we have occasional
light showers, but not often.
The best time for planting nearly all
•crops here is May, June and July. To
bacco is planted in September, November
and December. The best time for fami-
Jies to move to this country is in the dry
-.season, and the earlier in that season the
better. It gives time to prepare shelter
before the rainy season, and get ready for
a crop..
Families moving here should bring
rwith them their bed clothing and a few
fCollin’s axes. Farming implements can
.be procured here with less trouble and as
.cheaply as they can be trausported from
that country. '
Good Spanish and Mexican males aod
horses (not equal in size and form to the
American, yet rety Lardy, .and servicea
ble.) can be bought here at from fifty to
.one hundred dollars; well broke oxen,
.and as fine as I have ever seen anywhere,
*t one hundred dollars a yoke. In the
market at Cordova beef is worth ten to
twslFe cents a libra, (which is a little
more than the American pound); corn
nne dollar per bushel j flour eight to ten
dollars a hundred; sugar twelve to twenty
eects j lard twenty-five to thirty-seven and
a halt cents a dozen. Fruits and vegeta
bles abundant and very low. Dry goods
and hardware, of almest every description,
abundant at about double what they would
have cost in the I nited States before the
war.
^ egetation is always green here, and
stock does very well the whole year with
out being fed. * * * *
There is an ample sufficiency of ^ood
timber here for building purpose, but very
few nulls; hehce, lumber is worth from
56 to $8 per hundred feet. Most of tha
Spanish houses are built of rough ston*

and mortar, covered with tile. The In- j
dians live in little bamboo huts covered
with long grass. I don’t remember to i
have seen a brick house in any part of
Mexico, though brick are as easily made
here as elsewhere. The fences here are
generally stone or hedge. The woods are
filled with deer, squirrels, pheasants, and,
I regret to add, wild cats and panthers;
and Col. White, (one of the surveyors,)
tellsmethe monkeys evineed a disposition
to take his camp a few evenings since.—
The wild parrot is seen in the forest every
day. .You may assure the ladies that I
have seen but one spake, only two or
three tarantulas, and no centipede in all
my travels though Mexico, and the flies
and musquitos are not half so abundant
here as they are in the United States,
but I don’t choose to say anything about
fleas.
We have to rely upon the native Indian
clrieflly for labor. They are capable of
making excellent laborers, but they have
a great aversion to work. We pay them
50 cents a day, they finding themselves,
and work by the task. Labor can be ob
tained more cheaply in other portions of
Mexico, and is generally obtained here at
lower rates, but at this time the construc
tion of the railroad in this immediate vi
cinity has caused such a demand for la
bor that it cannot be obtained for less.
Having taxed you with this rather
lengthy though plain and unvarnished
statement of the leading features of this
valley, I will not prolong it to tell you of
the infinite variety of delicious fruit*,
gaudy and fragrant flowers, of the beauties
or profits of a coffee plantation. Visit
me a few years hence and you shall see
aad enjoy them.
Very respectfully, your friend,
Isham G. Harris.
A Wonderful Story.
The New Hampshire, Iowa, Courier,
makes the following relation of a father
and daughter being lost in a prairie du
ring the storm of Tuesday and Wednes
day of last week:
“ On Tuesday afternoon, the 13th inst.,
Mr. E. T. Runnion, of this town, visited
Jacksonville, eight miles distant, on bu
siness, and on his return called at the
residence of W. E. Beach, one mile this
side, to see his daughter, Mrs. P. B
Weed. After supper, Mrs. W. resolved
to accompany her father home, and hasti
ly clad herself for the purpose. Leaving
Mr. W T eed in the house, the father and
daughter proceeded to where the horses
were tied, and found them gone, but yet
in sight. Pursuing the team for some
distance, and finding it impossible to
overtake it, Mr. Runnion implored bis
daughter to return home, while he would
make his way home alone. This she
would not consent to unless he should
accompany her and remain for the night.
This was between seven and eight o’clock.
The weather was then comparatively mild.
They pursued their journey for a time
without difficulty, but the night being
quite dark, and the snow having oblite
rated the track, they lost the road. Both
were conscious they were lost, yet neither
breathed it to the other, during the long
hours from the departure from Mr. Reach’s
house until 12 o’clock. The storm which
bad been gathering now burst forth in
fea -ful fury. Benumbed, lost upon the
trackless waste, their steps followed by a
pack ot "prairie wolves, whose quick, sharp
bark frequently Tose above the nowling
wind, each was consui° us their peril,
yet encouraged the othC r > At last ex
hausted nature cou'M do no more, both
were tired out, and lay down beceath a
drift of snow to watch for daylight.
Mrs. Weed wore a beaver hoou, a scarf
about her neck, a shawl, and blanket
which she had thrown on her arm on
leaving the house.
The dawn came, and with it the fury
of the storm increased. Mr. Runnion
knew himself to be on Plumb creek, and
resolved to strike for the nearest house,
some two miles distant, but Mrs. Weed
was so chilled that she could not walk,
and after being carried some thirty or
forty rods she begged her father to leave
her and seek assistance. They sat down
and calmly talked the matter over, she
freezing all the while! To leave his child
thus was a bitter thought. Knowing
that she must perish unless succor came,
he sought a plaoe to leave her; breaking
the ice as he supposed of a little bayou,
from which the water had receded, and
making a cavity of some two feet in depth
and sufficient length, he laid t her in it,
wrapped the blanket and shawl about her
and the scarf about her face. They
hissed and parted. Then covering her
with snow, marking the spot with willow
twigs as best he could, he made his way
to the house of Mr. Utley, about a mile
from town, arriving there near 8 o’clock,
a. m., (Wednesday), exhausted, with
hands and face frozen, and nearly frantic.
His story was soon told ; and although
the storm was raging fearfully, and the
hope of finding the poor girl, some three
miles distant on the black, prairie, seemed
like hoping against hope, a team was har
nessed and Mr. Gilbert Vincent and Mr.
M. M- Utley with Mr. Runnion, started
for the rescue. Finding the place where
the party had lain beneath the drift dur
ing the night, they searched in vain un-
til°about 3 p. m., passing almost directly
over the spot where she lay. Finding
the search vain, and Mr. Runnion fast
fainting from exposure and exhaustion,
with heavy hearts the party returned at
evening. Mr. Runnion was taken to the
house of Mr. Utley, where both Mr. and
Mrs. Utley were assiduous in administer
ing to his comfort.
Thursday morning the storm had aba
ted ; the sun shone clear aod bright over
the driven snow ; the mercury had fallen
from 14 the day before to 28 below zero.
Mr. Runnion was brought home by 31 r.
Utley, and his fearful story flew from
house to house ; brave hearts and willing
hearts were not wanting. Several sleigh
loads of men, accompanied by Dr. Jlixer
—who was careful to have restoratives—
were swiftly on the search. The party
reached the supposed locality where Mrs.
Weed was left by her father, and the
search commenced. Passing on either
Eide of the creek, noting every track and
mark and twig—with only the vague cer
tainty that they might be near her, they
persevered, guided alone by such instruc
tions as Mr. Runnion in his eufebled and
bewildered state _was able to give. At
about 11 o’clock, one of the party, step
ping directly over, fell through the snow
into the cavity where she lay. She was
found ! and—alive 1 A joyous shout
rang out—overcoats and shawls weTe
spread upon the snow, shovels procured
from the sleigh, and she was raised, in
sensible, from the snowy bed, where she
had lain thirty hours ! Placed in a sleigh,
the parfy drove with all speed to the
nearest house—that of 3Ir. Jolly—where
the skill and unremitting efforts of Dr.
Mixer were crowned with success.
We found that she had moved but little
from where her father had placed her.—
The ice upon which she had been laid
had melted from her bodily heat, and
when found she lay in the bed of the
creek, nearly every part of her clothing
being saturated with water. Her feet
were doubtless frozen in the morning be
fore her father left her, and to the provi
dential fact of the coming in contact
with the water may be ascribed, not mere
ly the safety of her limbs, but the pre
servation of her life..
Mrs. Weed was conscious while in her
snowy prison house of day and night;
heard the bleak winds as they moaned
above her, her greatest fear being lest
her father had, perished ; but hope never
once forsook her; she heard her rescuers
tramping above and around her, but was
too weak to appraise them of her where
abouts, and when found had been using
all her remaining strength in endeavoring
to dig to the surface, and had succeeded
in removing the snow several inches from
beneath the spot upon which the person
finding her had providentially stepped.
Mrs Weed has been married but a few
weeks. Her miraculous escape from death,
and her present unhappy condition, have
caused a most profound sympathy in her
behalf. •
Anecdote of Gen. Hoke.
We find the following piece going the
rounds of exchanges:
As the gallant Gen. Hoke, of North
Carolina, was lately traveling on the cars
from New York to Washington, on the
seat in front of him sat a negro, and on
that immediately opposite two United
States officers, one a general.
Soon after leaving New York, General
Hoke saw a man who was walking through
the car, pick up from the floor, near
where the negro sat, what he, at that
time, supposed to be a ticket, and when
the conductor came round and was told
by the negro that he had lost his ticket,
but that he had bought and paid for one,
and that he had a check for his baggage,
the General was satisfied that the man he
had seen walk through the car had found
the negro’s ticket, and so informed the
conductor, who accepted his statement,
and went on marking the checks for other
passengers.
A change of conductors takes place
between Washington and New York;
and when the second one, ?n his round,
was toid by the negro that he iiud l 081
his ticket, he said that was not his look
out, and that he would have to be paid.
Gen. Hoke then stated to him what he
had told the first conductor; but instead
of receiving and crediting the General’s
explanation, he, in a pert and impudent
manner remarked that neither black man
nor white man should pass him without
paying, and that the negro should pay or
be put off. The General then rising from
his seat, and shaking his forefinger in
front of the conductors face, informed
him firmly and deliberately, that for the
past four years he had been fighting for
the negro, and though defeated, he would
not even allow one to be maltreated in his
presence; that the negro had paid his
fare and should go through. The con
ductor slunked away, the negro came on
to Washington, but the United States of
ficer* never said a word.
Stuttering Ben, who was toasting his
shins, observing that the oil merchant
was eheating a customer in some $il, call
ed out to him, “ Jim, I can t—tell you
how to sell t-twice as much oil as you do
now.” “ Well, how ?” groaned Jim.—
« F-fill your measure*.”
According to M. Babinet, a French
savant, the coming summer will be very
hot. All the springs, he states, will be
dried up, for when there is no snow there
are no fountains. It is the snow alone
which moistens the earth internally, Bain
water does not penetrate sufficiently, be
ing carried off rapidly by evaporation,
except in wooded distriets.
An Irishman, by way of illustrating
the horrors of solitary confinement, stated
that out of one hundred persons sentenced
to endure this punishment for life only
fifteen survived it.

Lexington, Ky., Sep. 3, 1862. j
General : On the 30th ult., our for
ces met and repulsed the enemy in three
seperate engagements. General Clebnrn’s
division which was in the advance, about
six miles from Richmond, early in the
day, drove him from the field before the
remainder of my column was brought in
to action. Falling back about three miles
and a half, and receiving reinforcements,
the enemy again made a stand and were
again driven ftom the field in confusion.
My cavalry having been sent to the ene
my’s rear, I could not pursue rapidly, and
he formed his line of battle in the out
skirts of Richmond, his force- having
swelled to the number ef 10,000, General
Nelson commanding.
Within an hour after their column was
utterly routed and retreated in eonfasion.
The cavalry came in upon their flank
and scattered them in all directions, captur
ing all their artillery and trains. Not a
regiment escaped in order. The enemy’s
loss during the day was about 1400 killed
and wounded, and 4000 prisoners. Gen.
Miller wa3 killed, Gen. Nelson wounded,
and Gen. Manson taken prisoner. The
remnant of the Federal force in Kentucky
is making its way, utterly demoralized, to
the Ohio. Gen. Marshall is in communi
cation with me. Our column is moving
upon Cincinnati. The country is rising
in arms, and all that is needed to accom
plish the object* of the campaign is to
have our left in communication with your
right. If I am supported and can he
supplied with arms, 25,000 Kentucky

Paymaster General’* Office, f
Washington, March 20. (
To Hon. E. H. Rollins, U. S. House of
Representatives—
Sir : I have just received a circular of
the New Hampshire Union Club, request
ing me to remit a sum equal to one and
one-half per cent, of my annual salary,
for the purpose of defraying the expenses
of the approaching election. The circu
lar states that such persons as go home
to vote at said election are hereby excused
from complying with this request. As I
am not a voter, I must, according to this
circuular, remit a sum equal to one and
one-half per cent, of my annual salary.
1 am agaiust all measures which tend
to destroy the purity of the ballot box,
and this I regard as one. I have never
given a cent for the purpose of bribing
voters to vote contrary to their judgment,
and never shall. Any man who sells his
vote deserves to be disfranchised. I have
watched the doings of Congress during
the present session, and in so doing have
noticed that you have acted with that dis-
unionist, Thad. Stevens, and therefore I
am led to believe you and your party par
take of the cup which contains this es
sence of disunion.
Upon the principle that like begets
like, I am led to believe this money, so
raised, will be expended for the purpose
*f elevating more disuuionists to power.
As a stuuf nt the Constitution, I have
been taught that a. 1 ] efforts made for the
purpose of procuring powef an< ^
unfair means, are contrary to the spirit of
liberty and justice. I do not believe that,
during the present session, you acted in
accordance with the will of the majority
of the people of New Hampshire ; and I
confidently hope that you and your disun
ion copartnership will, at the next elec
tion, meet with that rebuke you justly
deserve. Your appeal for funds argues
the weakness of your cause.
I am yours, respectfully,
E. B. Johnson.
INDORSEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT.
The independence exhibited by the
writer in resisting the attempt to levy a tax
upon him as an officeholder under the
Federal Government, and his just state
ment of correct principles, entitle him
to respect and approbation. I, therefore,
as an evidence of my appreciation of the
qualities manifested in the letter, recom
mend him to the Paymaster General for
early promotion.

Executive JIansion, March 15.
It is reported that 3Ie*srs. Harper &
Bros, have ordered a whole ship load of
white paper from Belgium; Ticknor &
Fields, Boston, have ordered 5,000 reams
in London. It has been estimated that
at present prices good book newspaper
can be delivered in New York, all duties
and expenses included, at three-quarters
the price of American paper of the same
grade. Another estimate makes the dif
ference in favor of foreign paper ten per
cent., instead of twenty-five per cent. It
is certainly demonstrated that paper can
be imported at cheaper rates than our pa
per makers are demanding.
A Sherriff’s Attachment.
"We have heard a good story, of whisk
an Alabama Sheriff was the hero. Court
was in session, and amid the multiplicity
of business which crowded upon him at
term time, he stopped at the door of a
beautiful widow, on the shady side of
thirty, who, by the way, had often bestow
ed melting glances upon the aforesaid
Sheriff. He was admitted, and the wid
ow appeared; the confusion and fright
which the arrival of her visitor occasion
ed, set off to greater advantage than usual,
the captivating charms of the widow
M . Her cheeks bore the beautiful
blended tints of the apple blossom, her
lips resembled th£ rosebuds upon which
the morning dew yet lingered, and her
eyes were like the quiver of Gupid, and
glances of love and tenderness, with which,
they were filled, resembled arrows, only
invited a ‘bean’ (pardon the pun) to do
full execution. After a few common
place remarks : “ Madam,” said the mat
ter-of-fact Sheriff, “ I have aaattachment
for you.”
A deeper blush than usual man tied the
cheeks of the fair widow; while the cfcwn-
cast eyes were centered upon her beauti
ful foot, which was half concealed by
flowing drapery. “ Sir, the attachment
is reciprocal.”
For some time the Sheriff maintained
an astonished silence, and at length he
said: “ Madam will you proceed to
court ?”
“ Proceed to court ?” replied the lady
with a merry laugh, then shaking her
head, she said, “No sir, though leap year,
I will not take’advantage of license therein
granted for my sex, and therefore, I great
ly prefer that you should proceed to court.”
“ But madam, the justice is waiting.”
“ Let him wait; I am not disposed to
hurry matters in so unbecoming a man
ner; and, besides sir, when the ceremony
is performed I wish you to understand
that I greatly prefer a minister to a jus
tice of peace.”
A light dawned upon the sheriff’s
brain. “Madam,” said he, rising from
his chair with solemn dignity, there is a
great mistake here; my language has
been misunderstood, the attachment of
which I speak was issued from the office
of Squire C , and commands me to
bring you instantly before him to answer
a contempt of court in disobeying a sub
poena in the case of Smith yb. Jones.”
We drop the curtain.
Declaration of Independence.
Politicians of the Sumner way of think
ing make frequent appeals to the princi
ples embodied in that famous instrument
known as the Declaration of Indepen
dence, to which our lespected fathers sub
scribed their lives, their fortune and their
sacred honor. It was a very credible
document to have been written by a slave
holder, “who traded in human flesh,” and
to have been made good by the sword of
a slaveholder who “ bought and sold hu
man souls.” The Declaration denounced
the King of England, among other things,
for having “ erected a multitude of new
officers"’ and for having “ sent hither
swarms of officers to harrass our people and
eat out their subsistence.”
For having “ kept among us in time of
peace, standing armies, without the con
sent of our Legislatures.”
For having “ affected to render the
military independent of, and superior to
the civil power.”
“ For quartering large bodies of armed
troops among us.”
“ For imposing taxes upon us without
our consent.”
“ For depriving us in many cases of
the benefit of a trial by jury.”
“ For taking away our charters, abolish
ing our most valuable laws, and altering,
fundamentally, the forms of our govern
ments.”
This George III, who did all these
things, must have been a magnificent vil
lain.—Exchange.
The Assassin of Lincoln.
The declaration of the man in Louis
ans, that he is the assassin of President
Lincoln, is net an uncommon exhibition
of the perversity of hetman nature. The
books abound with instances of the con
fession of offenses by persons who were
known to be innocent of the acts they
avowed. Nay, men who have been actu
ally executed on confessions of crimes,
which subsequent relations proved they
could not have possibly committed.—
There is no explaining these eccentricities
but on the hypothesis of insanity.
Yet, after all, is it not barely possible
that the wretch in Louisville tells the
truth ? Wilkes Booth wa3 never convic
ted of the murder of President Liucoln.
The body brought to Washington, and so
clandestinely interred, was never indenti-
fied a* the corpse of Wilkes Booth. We
remember with what care the remains
were covered from public vftw, and de
posited in a spot whence they can never
be reclaimed. Why all this mystery?
These “ history doubts” we commend to
the scrutiny of the Slant. Where is the
man Baker ? He should “ work up ”
the case.
The Quincy, Fla., Commonwealth says
that the citizens of Florida are raising
money to defray the expenses of Major
Gee’s defense before the 3Iilitary Com
mission at Raleigh. The Macon Tel
egraph says that if Georgians would also
like to throw in their mite, the Governor
of Florida wiil thankfully receive all sums
that may be sent him for that purpose.
