to make it my duty to advise all those 1
who are desirous of seeking new homes
not to give up their present ones and em
igrate to Mexico, until’ they shall have
examined the country in person, or ascer
tained, through some friend on whose
judgment and experience they can rely,
that their situations will be bettered.-^*
Above all, let no man whn has a wife and
children carry them to Mexico utitii lie
has secured a certain home and a fair
prospect of support for’ them. By ob
serving this caution much disappoiumeut
and suffering will be avoided.
I send this communication to your pa
this place ; Mr. Jesse Brandon, of Nash
ville, and your Correspondent, went pre
pared to make a thorough exploration of
the cave. Besides the necessary lights,
ropes, water-proof' clothing, etc., they car
ried with them u light but staunch boat,
prepared expressly for the occasion, ou
which to cross tho mysterious stream that
had, on the former occasion, stopped their
further progress. The party set forth in
the highest of spirits. Dr. Hawn, whose
sad fate has cast a gloom over the entire
community, was especially buoyant. The
doctor was greatly exhilarated by the
prospect of an exciting and adventurous
day, aud his good-humored wit and ready
repartee were the life and soul of the
party-
The expedition proceeded without de
lay to the terminus of the former explora
tion on the banks of the subteranean river.
Those who had accompanied the former
expedition noticed a perceptible change
in the appearance of the stream, which
feet numerous winged things, apparently
bats, flitted constantly about bis ears,
viciously snapping their mandibles togeth
er with a devilish sort of twitter. One of
these, cold, clammy, inexpressibly nasty,
alighted on bis face, and inflicted a severe
bite. Air. Knapp nearly fainted with
disgust, and declared that if the rope had
nut been tied under his arms he would
Irive fallen.
Now comes the most painful part of the
story. Tired and weary of sight seeing,
the party was on the point of starting on
tho return, -when, at the earnest solicita
tion ef Dr. llawn, wc consented to at
least partially explore another cavern.
It was followed but a short distance when
it suddenly narrowed. Mr. Knapp going
first, passer! through the opening on his
hands and knees, and entered another
large chamber. Dr. llawn. who is a very
heavy man, attempted to follow, and be
came inextireably fixed in the passage,
lie could neither Ret forward nor back.
med to be much fuller and more tur- I or three hours the party worked iuccs-
bulcnt, plunging and roaring in some un
known abyss below. A consultation was
bad on tho bank, to determine whether
an attempt should be made to cross in its
present swollen condition. Mr. Knapp,
myself and Sheriff Swayne suggested an
abandonment of the expedition, but were
overruled by l)r. llawn, Major Trockiuor-
ton, Captain Holcroft i 3d Mr. Brandon,
who, while admitting the dangerous char
acter of the attempt, declared they would
rather perish than abandon the expedition
now, and stand the ridicule which such a
movement would entail upon their heads.
The boat was accordingly launch

back to the river for the iron stake, with
which the boat bad been fastened, to use
as a crowbar. With this the doctor might
have been extricated, but here a new
calamity presented itself. One by one
the lamps had burned out, until barely
enough oil was Kit-to light us on our way
back to tho river. The thought of being
imprisoned in that living tomb was too
terrible to be endured, for we knew that
without light we could never find our
way Lack. A panic seized upon the
party, and hastily leaving the doctor and

AD VICE TO EMIGRANTS-
Havanah, April 15, 1866.
To the Editor of the New York News :
Sir : I have just returned from Mexico,
after a sojourn of three months in that
country. Having received from Virginia
several letters of inquiry in regard to the
prospects for emigrants to Mexico, and
having learned that many persons in that
as well as the other Southern States desire
to emigrate, I will state, through your
columns, the result of my own observation
and the information received from others j p Cr j or publication, as I have no doubt
on whose judgment I could rely. I must j t h a t ; u Giat wa y r will gooner reach the
state in the first place, that my personal ^03 0 f the readers for whom it is intend-
observation of the country was confined
to what I saw in passing and repassing
over the stage route from Vera Cruz to
the City of Mexico; the greater part of
my time having been spent in the latter
city. The lands in the Cordova district
and about Orizava, through, which the
stage route passes, are unquestionably
rich, and intelligent gentlemen, who had
seen other parts of the couutry, informed
me that there were other districts in
which the lands were very rich, and capa
ble of being made very productive by the
proper use of capital and labor. But col
onists will have many difficulties to en
counter in all of them. There has been
no systematic effort to survey or ascertain
the locality of the public lands, until that
made uuder the superintendence of Gen
eral MeGruder, Chief of the Land Office.
All the lands at Cordova which have been
surveyed as public lands have already
been parceled out and have supplied but
a small number of colonists. Land titles
in Mexico are in a very unsettled condi
tion, and but few men know the bounda
ries of\heir own lands. So uninformed
is the Government itself in regard to
the lands to which it has claims that, in
making a contract with Gen. Hardeman,
of Texas, for the survey of public lands
in Durango, the whole risk ana expense
of discovering those lands have been
thrown on him, and he is to receive com
pensation only in the event of his being
able to find and survey the lands, the
Government not even undertaking to
furnish him protection against guerrillas
and robbers while he is fulfilling his con
tract. The lands offered by private indi
viduals in alternate' sections to colonists,
so far as I am informed, are in remote
districts where the Liberals, or Dissidents,
as they are called, have control, aud the
Government can afford no protection.—
The very highly colored accounts of the
country and its resources which have
been published, and the expectations of a
ed than in any other.
Respectfully,

Pagan Worship—Description of a Chi-
< nese Pagoda in San Francisco-
[San Francisco (February 17), Correspondence
of the Rochester Union and Advertiser.]
Wednesday last, besides being Asli-
Wednesday and Valentine-day, was the
first of the New Year among the Chinese
of this city. I believe I have told you
that there are' form 5,000 to 10,000 of
the moon-eyed Celestials in this city —
Among them are some very wealthy and
respectable merchants, and the ‘ doings’
of the New-Year holiday (four days),
have been quite interesting. Fire-works
and crackers -have been rattling in all
parts of the city, but more especially in
that part of the town known as China
town, where most of the ‘Johns’ reside.
Many of these merchants kept open
house, and received their white friends
with as much dignity and ceremony as
“any other man." Champagne and other
wines were expended with liberality.
The temple was opened to all American
visitors who would honor them with their
presence, and I among others, “honored”
them with a call. The building is situa
ted in a miserably dirty alley, and is a
small building, three stories in flight.—
The first story seems to be occupied as a
sleeping and smoking department. There
was a number of the “Johns” lingering
in blissful repose on the floor, while the
others were enjoying the luxury of a
smoke. The strong fumes of opium
which they smoke not having a salutary
effect upon my olfactory organs, I was
obliged to beat a hasty retreat, and forth
with mounted to the second story. All
about this room were characters in the
Chinese language, brilliant lights were
suspended from the ceiling, aud incense
burned upon the several altars where
were reared the gods whom they wor-

prices asked for them, and many persons • were surmounted with figures, carved

have been unable to procure lands, either monstrosities of various forms. Near
from the Government or from private in
dividuals. The legitimate consequence
of all this has been, that many are return
ing in a great state of dissatisfaction,
while others, who relied on the delusive
promises of aid from the Government,
find themselves not only without means
of obtaining lands but of returning to
their former homes. It is exceedingly
difficult for those who have succeeded in
getting lands to procure labor to put them
in a state of cultivation, as the native
population caunot be relied on for that
purpose. All idea of procuring assistance
from the Government must be abandoned
by those who desire to emigrate to that
country. I have no doubt that Mexico
I has resources which, under a stable gov-
j eminent and with capital aud labor suffi-
! cieut, are susceptible of very considerable
this was reared au altar or pedestal where
an ugly looking amimal of tho dragon
species received the homage of the
“Johns.” Around the “animile” were
some beautiful specimens of Chinese
handiwork, consisting of carved work,
embroidered work and artificial flowers,
the whole being under a canopy of carved
wood-work, handsomely gilded with gold,
silver and carmiuc.
Before this nondescript idol were plac
ed plates containing oranges, candies and
cups of tea, given as an offering; but the
gentle “pussy” with the immense mouth
and open jaws touched them not.
In another portion of the room are
placed a large number, one hundrod or
more, of small figures, carved from brass,
representing Chinese in various attitudes
and postures. I iuferred that this was
development; but those who go there j some historical representation. There
I expecting to find the beautiful and fruit- j were several spreads of most exquisite
' ful land which is described in some of ■ embroidery work, the figures being of
the published accounts, will be doomed to
as sad a disappointment as that experi
enced by the old Spanish conquerors in
their search for the fabled Eldorado. On
the railroad which is being constructed
from Yera Cruz to the City of Mexico

tractors and mechanics may find employ
ment, but otherwise very few positions

The third story is the most important
one, for here in all his majesty and glory
sits the “Josh” of Joshes Tong Gee.—

good-natured old fellow; his mouth is

Then the more excitable ones broke forth

Whale Captured off Wilmington, North
Carolina.
The Wilmington Journal gives the;
following facts relative to the capture of
a whale below that city :
The whale recently captured Is of the
fin-back species, and was first seen about
sunrise on Tuesday, March 20ih, and
soon after grounded on an oyster rock
near Sinithville* He got clear, and
started up the channel agitating the water!
mere than an ordinary steamboat. II e (
sho: tly afterwards rau aground again,
this tiuie opposite the residence of Mrs.
Stuart. Mr. Warren a gentleman in
Smithville, fired at him while in this po
sition ; but ba appeared perfectly regard
less of the shot, and extricating himself
again, started up the channel. A small
schooner, named the Planet, then started
in pursuit, and found him stuck on
ieuow’s marsh, opposite Fort Fisher; but
on coming up with him it was discovered
that he had again succeeded in extricat
ing himself and was making directly for
tho sehobner. This movement on the
part of the whale caused a great deal of
consternation among the crew of the ves
sel, which was immediately faced about,
and all haste was made from the scene of
action; but on proceeding a short dis
tance they observed that the whale, who
was probably as badly frightened as the
crew, had also changed his course, and
making all speed in an opposite direction,
and was in a shoit time seen to run ashore
near the place where lie had just got off.
A small boat was sent to reconnoitre
bis position. Finding him fast aground,
and the tide falling, the schooner pro
ceeded to Smithville to get the assistance
of the sloop Flash, and also to obtain the
services of a gentleman residingin Smith-
ville, who had several years experience
in the whaling business.
Ou their return, the tide having fallen
considerably, the huge monster was dis
covered to be almost cutirely out of the
water. The first object was to kill him;
accordingly a hole was cut in his side,
and the old whaler ran his sword in until
bis arm was almost entirely embedded in
his body. His heart was eventually
pierced, but even then it was nearly two
hours before he had ceased to breathe.—
In his fury he could throw a stream of
water six inches in diameter fully a hun
dred feet high. His dimensions were as
certained to be as follows: fifty-six feet
long, and twenty seven feet in circumfer
ence. The head is about one-third of the
entire length. The jaws are sixteen feet
long on either side, and nine feet wide
across the throat. The tail is about twelve
feet wide, and serves him as a weapon.—
He is only about half grown, and weighs
thirty-six tons, or seventy-two thousand
pounds.
To give some idea of his immense weight,
it is stated that even after the upper jaw
and skull were cut away, it was impossi
ble owing to the immense weight, to get
the under jaw on the deck of the schoon
er, so it must remain in the water until
the flesh decays before the bone can be
saved.
The carcass would have made sixty
barrels of oil, if facilities could have been
obtained for cutting and tying up the
blubber. As it is only about twenty-five
barrels, or eight hundred gallons, have
been saved.
Efforts to Release Jeff. Davis by Writ
of Habeas Corpus Abandoned.
[Correspondence oftlie New Fork Herald)]
The rumor that an attempt would be
made at Richmond, under the late pro
clamation of the Rrcsideut, to effect the
removal of Jeff. Davison a writ of habeas
corpus, lias proved correct. Among his
friends there the subject was discussed
at great length and iu all its possible bear
ings, when the matter was dropped, from
very positive assurance that they could
do nothing in the case. Jeff. Davis be
ing a prisoner of the United States, in
order to eff.ct his removal in the way
contemplated, it was found the writ of
habeas corpus would be inoperative un
less bearing the approving signature of
Chief Justice Chase. It being settled
that the Chief Justice would not give ‘he
benefit of his signature to the proposed
writ it was further settled to let him alone
and not give him the opportunity of a re
fusal, which might only complicate mat
ters more. On the other hand, had a
writ issued by any of the judicial func
tionaries of this State been served on Maj.
Gen. Miles here for the surrender of Jeff
Davis he would most positively have dis
regarded it. Whether the friends of Mr.
Davis, in tho course of their deliberative
sessions, took pains to ascertai 1 this fact
I do not know; but this much I do know,
that such would have been the course
General Miles would have taken ir. the
! premises. Thus the case stands. Jeff.
1 Davis is still here, and bids likely to re-
■ main until powers that be, an-i the most
exalted powers of the general government
at that, ordain otherwise.
Fears are expressed that Chinese labor
will run out the white laborers in Califor
nia. Several Railroad companies have
discharged their white laborers and are
employing these people, who work very
cheap. There are now l'XhOOO and they
are pouring into the country in great
numbers.
