Eight Hour System.
A gre.it ballaballoj is being raised by the
working men of the North who are anxious
to reduce the number of working hours to .
eight. The matter has gone so far as to bare
been introduced into some State Legislatures, :
and, we believe, into the National Congress
also.
It may be that the leaders in this move,
meat bare weighed the matter well, but it
Items palpable to our mind that they are op
erating again-t their own pecuniary interests.
Did labor control capital the case would be
different, but capital always has and always
will control labor A man wbo works e ght
hours will be paid for eight hours work, and
ibe man whoj works ten hours will be
paid for teu hours work. Numerous instan
ces may be cited in which labor has attempt
ed to exercise a controlling influence over
capital, but iu every case the triumph of tbe
employer over tbe employee has been signal,
if their opposition has been determined. A
capitalist may live for a week, momh or year
without employing laborers ; but with the
great majority of laborers, a week of idleness
usually exhausts their accumulated stores,and
they arecompelled to return tolabor as a sheer
shield against want. Th. may at-
tempt to do as be will, but if tbe capitalist
is determined to do as be can, the laborer
must inevitably yield. It is an unequal war
fare. It is hunger and cold on the one side
against simple embarrassment on the other.
It the effort to adopt the eight hour system
is successful, we may speedily expect a re
duction of wages. This the mechanic cannot
afford. Tbeir wages, kt best, is not more
than a liberal support, and if this is curtails
ed the advantage of the system will be de
cid dly against him. It is not reasonable to
suppose, then, an employer will pay as much
for eight ho»rs work as he will for ten, and,
if employers shoeld deem it necessary to en
ter into a combination in self defense, it is
very evident wbo must yield, for, as we said
before the contest is not even-banded.
?lexico Again.
We publish to-day an extended communica
tion trum M. F. Maury, written "with a view to
encouraging emigration. According to bis
statement tbe country is all that one could de.
sire; yet our advice still is to stay at home,
there is more promise in our own land than we
can possibly see elsewhere. The present gov
ernment of Mexico is but an experiment. It
may be substantial and over-ride all opposi
tion, but the demonstration ol that is far in tbe
future.
This country cannot spare more of ber men.
The South esp-cially bas need of every arm
which can enhance the work of recuperation.
Cu. country is broad enough and our lauds
rich enough to foster and enrich all who are
now living in it, and millions more should they
choose to come hither. We want immigration
and not emigration.
We publish tbe letter of Capt. Maury not for
tbe purpose of inducing persons to go to Mex
ico. but merely tor tbe information of those
who may be determ ned to go at all hazards.
The Sex Islands. We have late intelligence
horn the Sea laiands, says tbe Nashville Ban
ner, which does not speak very favorably tor
tbe condition of affairs in that quarter. On
St. Catherine’s Island there were six hundred
freedmen, two hundred of whom were formerlv
tbe slaves of the owners of the Island, all in a
destitute condition. Since May, 1865, tbe
Island has been under the control of one
Campbell, a negro preacher from New York,
wbo has under bun some ten or fitteen negro
agents of tbe most crafty character, wbo cut
tbe wood of this Island aod sell it, and employ
tie freed nen and pay them in liquor at most
exaorbltant prices. Campbell has distributed
ail the land on tbe Island, a large portion of
wbicb bas fallen into tbe pcssessiob of himself,
bis sons and immediate friends.
There has been a report going tbe rounds of
tbe press, says the Paris K-ntuckian, that Gen.
J. B. Hood was to be married to a daughter of
G«n • William Preston, of Louisville. We re
marked to him, recently, that he bad to suffer
for hit notoriety. ‘ Yes,” said be, ‘‘and it must
be exceedingly annoying to the lady, as we
have had no acquaintance whatever, having
never even seen one another.”
Au excnange says, ‘‘a gentleman, in travel
ing along tbe coast of Florida and Georgia,
found a woman wno did not know what a
newspaper was. Sne bad seven children and
a pipe in ber mouth.” Sne must have bad a
capacious month.
No Admittance.—Prof. J. M, Searl, the
noted Vantriloqnist and Prestidigitator, who
is now on bis way to this city, appends to his
bills tbe following information which is in
teresting to freedmen. “No negroes admit
ted.”
General Dick Taylor has leased from the
State of Louisiana the new canal, which con
nects tbe upper part of New Orleans with
Lake P ,ncbartrain, for seven hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, payable in annual in
stallments.
Tbe Paris Patrie gives the report that
Stward is about to send a conciliatory dis
patch to France, intimating tbe readiness of
l ie United States to proclaim neutrality in
to certain conditions.
A million and a bait of dollars were stolen
from Lird’s Banking House New York, last
week. Two hundred thousand dollars reward
is offered for the arrest of tbe thief.
Ashamed op Him —Tbe vulgar foreign mer
cenary, Can Schurz, delivered a lecture in
Washington a few nights since, so filled with
in ective against the white people of the
boutb, and so laudatory of tbe negro and bis
fellow Rad cals, that it even disgusted tbe
majority of those who bad purebased tickets
fro u t ie sympathy they imagined to exist be
veen themselves and tbe speaker. As an
evidence of tbe contempt with which be cov
ered himself by his outragous denuunciatious
of the President and the conservative masses
of tbe country. General Banks, though loud
y called fir by the audience at the close of
toe address, refused to open bis lips. He
was evidently ashamed of the company in
wuich he found himself.— Naehv lie Banner.
Companies and regiments of Fenians are
being formed with g-eat rapidity in New York,
and it is calculated that General Sweeney will
oe able, whim be feels justified in calling for
the r services, to procure twenty five thou
sand able-bodied young men, wbo have seen
a rvice, in that city alone. It is known that
s xiaeo thousand cartridge-boxes and knap

MEXICO.
Letter from Capt. M. F. Maury.
advice to emigrants.
Office Colonization, 1
13 San Juan de L’lrnti. ■
Mexico, February 9 , 1866 )
Mv Dear Sir: I have received your letter j
inquiring, like many others, about Mexico, with i
the view of unking it tbeir home.
You know its geographical features and the j
fame of its mineral wealth. Its soil is of tin- '
surpassed tertilily, and its climate, after you [
begin to ascend tbe table lands, is as delicious
and heal'btul a» the heart of man can desire.
The Emperor is ruling wisely and mildly.—
Tneir m jesties are beloved by tbe Imperialists
and respected by all; they move as freely
among the people as the President of the United
States ever did in days of yore. The Empire is
contiaually gaining ground. Enterprise is
abroad —many works of internal improvement
are already under way and about to be oom
meoced. Capital is leaving its biding places,
and the columns ot the newspaper presses are
daily, and tor months ’have been filled with the
names of Liberals, who, looking upon the Em
pire as a succ as, and their cause us a tailui**,
have laid down tbeir arms, and are giving in
their adhesion.
Property mid life are daily becoming more
secure. As an illustration, the doors ot the
bouse in which I live are without locks; nor do
I ever take care even to shut any ot them be
fore Igo to bed. True, there is a pateco be
low. but the budding is an old convent, inbab
i e.i midj'reqm nted by hundreds ot people wbo
are not oarred irotn,eacb other by uuy fasten
ings.
The impressions abroad about Mexico are
very erroneous. With regard to the inquiries
in bebalf ot our friends who desire to come to
this lovely land, I have to say:
They can tied desirable locations in any cli
mate they please, and suitable for the cultiva
tion ot any staple they prefer, or the raising of
any nt..» Jr stovti. a- m. tbe most profitable
hiancb of agricultural industry that varies
with the losahty—the variation depending as
well upon the convenience and circumstances
of tbe market as upon geographical conditions.
Owing to tbe want ot roads, navigable rivers
and canals, internal transportation is tedious
and expensive, and exportation difficult.—
Hence, in oue part ot tbe Empire, the spectacle
has not been uufrequently presented ot bread
stuffs at famine prices, while in a neighboring
department they were wasting for waut ot
consumers.
Tbe most desiranle locations, therefore, for
immigrauts, who are “well to do” (and this is
the class that must lead tbe way.) are on what
may be called the iutertrbpical belt of Mexico,
within which Cordova aud Jalapa are situated.
Tnis is a sort ot steppe, or slope, which arises
from the low lauds of tbe coast, to tbe various
climates which are to be tound, in all intertrop
ical latitudes at the height ot trom 2,000 to
4.000 teet above the sea. Within this tange
tbe climates are those of perpetual summer,
they are healthy and deligbtlul.
These steppes encircle the Empire on the
east, south aud west; they overlook tbe valley
of the Coatzieoaicos aud the Gulf of Mexico
on one side, and the Pacific ocean on the other,
and abound in garden spots as beautiful as
Eden itself, and as sinful too.
Cordova and Jalapa are such places; they ate
in sight of tbe sea. The farmer there, and at
many ot”er places, ma? reap from the same
field two or three crops annually, with an in
crease of three or four hundred upon the seed
sown. In the course ot the present year a rail
road is to be completed trom each of these
points to Vera CruZ, which will bring them
lairly within tbe domains of foreign com
merce.
Corn, cotton, coffee, sugar and tobacco all
do well here; out, as a rule, I consider coffee,
cotton and tobacco tbe most profitable staples
ot cultivation, because they cau best bear trans
portation and stand competition iu foreign mar
kets.
Formerly, and before tbe country began to
be tossed and vexed by revolution, lands in
the neighborhood of these two cities were val.
ued at trom $75 to SIOO per acre.
Many of these splendid haciendas, some of
them large enough to accommodate with elegant
farms teu limes fifty families, were broken up
during tbe revolution and tbeir owners com
pelled to seek sately elsewhere.
They have fallen into ruin and decay through
absenteeism, and now that o der is restored,
tue Empire gaining ground and internal im
provements eucouiaged by tbe wise policy of
tbe Emperor, these >ands are coming into de
mand.
But present owners find themselves too poor
to repair and bting them under cultivation
again. They are tor sale, aud may be bought
at trom $2 to $3 per acre.
These abandoned haciendas (and they are to
be found in all parts of tbe Empire,) are the
places for your thrifty American farmers to
establish themselves. Let them, therefore,
send out their bead men to select a place for
the whole settlement, to be followed immedi
ately by their young men to sow and plant,
and build and repair, aud nuke ready for tbe
old men. the women aud children and others
to follow by the time tbe lands are ready.
They will fiid it at fi st best co establish
themselves in villages as we. 1 for mutual con
venience, as for protection against the bauds
of lawless marauders, who are ever ready to
pounce upon tne helpless farmers. Immigrants
should bring with them such mechanics as aie
required, to satisfy tueir own wants and neces
sities.
Tell those who come to count upon all the
assistance aod every facility and tbe best in
formation that it is in my power to afford, or
within tbe province of this ofiire to give.
In the Northern Department lhe vine flour
ishes well, and the wine is excedlent.
On tbe slopes next to the sea cochineal and
indigo are cultivated, drugs and gums and
spices collected.
The most profitable stock raising are mules,
horses aud goats. There is room for profitable
improvement in the breed ot horses, cattle and
sheep.
Tne immigrant is allowed free exercise of
religi us worship. Il is guranteed to him
both by an ordinance ot tbe Empire and a
dispensation of the Pope. Ue is also entitled,
on entering the country, to a free duty permit
for all ot his cattle and effects, and exemption
from all taxation, for one year, and from mili
tary conscriptions for five years. He is allow
ed to bring iu his arms also, aud, with bis
neighbors, io form a sedentary militia for their
own defense against robbers, wbo are daily be
coming less bold.
But he may not bring in anything for sale
exchange or batter, without the payment of the
full dimes.
Iu the rural districts the Indians generally
are honest—indeed, in some parts of the coun
try theft among them is unknown. They are
a gentle aud docile race.
Simple in tbeir habits, they are supersti
tion!, entering zealously into all the festivi
ties and ceremonies of the church. They seem
not to care to earn more than a dollar or two
a week, and when they have done this,wheth
er by two or more d»ys of labor, they gener
ally s op work, and frolic till the money is
gone, when they are ready to earn by labor
in the field the next instalment. The Sabbath
is not much observed by them, or the Mexi
cans generally, except as a day of parade and
pleasure. As a rule tbeir wages are paid
weekly in cash, aud i>t the rate generally of
from twenty-five to fifty cents a day, the la
bore.? finding himself.
Silver is the principal circulating medium;
there are also gold and copper coins, but no
bank notes.
The implements of husbandry are general
ly rude, and agriculture by no means in a
high etate of improvement. Nevertheless,
tbe Indians and mixed classes, of whom there
areabout 7,000,000,are skillful laborers in their
way. This mode of husbandry is st much
the bettei for the d splay by the European or
American farmer of his exquisite skill, and of
tbe virtue* of his improved implements,which
last he can bring in duty tree.
It is not advisable at present for emigrants
without money to come to Mexico, unless
they come under the auspices of some friend,
wbo can assist them, or under the care of
some one of the various companies for estab
lishing colonies, that have been recently in
corporated. Some of those propose to bring
the immigrants into the countrv, to furni-b
them with land, to establish them on farms,
to assist them for awhile, and to receive a
certain portion of their crops for the loans
advanced for tbeir various services.
Many wbo have some means and desire to
come in companies to Mexico and establish
themselves on some of these fine, but aban
doned, haciendas, wish to know where these
haciendas are and tbeir price. Answer: In
almost every part, and st any price, from a
few cents to a few dollars tbe acre.
Os course the prices named to me, though
m< derate, are tbe asking prices.
It ih be t for > very such company of Immis
grants to send some of their number ahead to
select a place, and bargain for it themselves.
I Bryant, from Arkansas, has established a col
i ony in Chihuahua. M tcheil, of Missouri,
j another on tho Rio Verde, in the Department
of Sau Luis Potosi. Terry, of Toxas, another
in Jalisco. They rent at first, witli privilege
of purchase in the meantime, at a stated
price.
Then there is the fine colony of Carlotta,
nenr Cordova, where the lands were aban
doned. There were a number of haciendas in ■
that neighborhood that were indented for
more than they were worth to the church, and
which, *by tbe Juarez Government, were con
fiscated. These have been. < xuppropriated by
tbe empi-e and applied to colonization.
These lands are sold to immigrants at $1
per acre in five equal annual installments. —
Generals Price and Shelby of M ssouri, Gov.
Harris of Tennessee, Judge Perkins of Louis
iana, tbe Re . Dr. Holman of Missouri, and a
number of others have already established
themselves there. They are highly pleased
with tbeir prospects. By the time the rail
way through to Vera Cruz is completed, and
the last installment falls due, they will have
improved their farms, when the most staid
anions them expect these farms will be worth
?10, S2O, and eveu SSO the acre. A gentle
man from Louisiana has been there for seven
or eight years. He established a coffee plan
tation of 80 acres, which is now in goo 1 bear
ing, and the crop from which last year was
valued at $16,000.
The Cordova coffee sells in New York mar
ket as Java, aud the tobacco equals that of
Cuba, while the sugar bus 14 per cent, more
of saccharine matter than that of Cuba.
It will cost at tbe rate of some $5 i r $6 an
acre to clear, inclose end bring these lands
under culiivntion. Hence it will be so much
cheaper tor those who have a little money to
buy a hacienda with ground already cleared,
fences made, and bouses, or at least walls of
houses, already erected. All the lands of
this colony are already or soon will be taken
up.
Each married man there is allowed 640
acres, but it is now generally admitted that
one-fourth of that quantity will probably be
quite as much as one family will be able to
cultivate, it ia so fertile and wonderfully
profiuetive.
i But to emigrants with a little capital, tbe
speedy filling up of this colony shonld not be
disheartening, under the idea that there are
no more good lands and choice spots. There
are better lands than these both about Cordo
va and Jalapa which present owners,
not being able to work, are ready to sell on
favorable terms.
Agents have been established at various
convenient points to assist emigrants on their
arrival in the country, by giving them infot
mation and furnishing them with the necessa
ry certificates aud passports to enable them
to pass custom houses, to enjoy all the rights
privileges and exertions of tbe Emperor’s
decree.
It bas not been as yet practicable to es
tablish agencies on the Rio Grande, but as
soon as it may be one will be stationed at
Presidio del Norte.
At present the following agencies have
been established, viz : L. Orofesa, at Vera
Cruz; John Perkins, formerly of Louisiana,
at Cordova; John T. Lux, formerly of Louisi
ana, at Monterey; Alonzo Ridley, of Califor
nia, at Mazatlan ; Captain of port of Tampico,
at Tampico; Captain of port of San Blas, at
San Blas; Captain of port of Matamoras, at
Matamoras ; Mr. Ramon de la Vega, President
de la Junta de los Mejores de Colima, at Man-
zanillo.
I am about to embark for England, expect
ing to return to this beautiful land acccom
panied by my family. Tbe office is left jin
charge of my son, R. L, Maury, who, during
my absence, will attend to the business of
the office. He is earnest in tbe cause, and
has now in band a guide book, for immi
grants, which will soon be leady for the
press.
Tbe lainy season commences in June and
ends in October. Immigrants should not
come during that time. Yours, truly,

five) square leagues of land (108,459 acies,)
j on my hacienda of Limon, situated of the
j Panuco river, on the Department of t’amauli
pas; giving gratis every alternate section
(640 acres) to a man with a family, and
320 acres to an unmarried man, with a pre
emption right in each case to as much more
at $2 tbe acre.
I will give, also gratis, land for a town, as
well as for the entire Colony from North to

The offer of Mr. Torres is most princely.—
The land is situated in the Huasteca country,
on tbe mountain border ofthe tierra calieute.
It is said to be healthy, and is admirably
adapted to the cultivation of coffee, sugar,
cotton, tobacco, with the whole list of inter
tropical fruits and productions. It is also a
good stock country, with an abundance of
timber. The Panuco River is navigable up to
it, and boats are running on that stream.—
Provisions are plenty, but labor is said not
to be very abundant; the usual price being
37| cents per day and found.
Those who come from any of the Gulf
ports should take shipping direct for Tampi
co, taking care not to come later tbau tbe
first or middle of May, on account of the
rainy season which commences in June
Emigrants are advised to send ou. their pio
neers to examine the land, select their home
steads and make ready for their families to
follow.

A Remarkable Statement.
Messrs. Editors: The editor of tbe Scottish
. American Journal, of New York, .March 3d,
in a short article upon tbe speech of Presi
dent Johnson makes the following remarkable
i statement in regard to Wendell Phillips. Ha
seems to speak in the most positive terms as
t > the truth of his assertion, and he is not
tbe man to make a statement of this kind at
random. He says:
„ “In regard to the last named gentlemen,
we are in a position to state a fact not here
tofore disclosed, so far as we know. It is a
matter wbicb ought na»t, except tor a clearly
defined object, be made public. The object
we have in view is simply to show how men
of great pretensions and little conscience
mag deceive tbe public.jjjTbe story is simply
this: Mr. Wendell Phillips is the hired agent
of a person who uses bis glibness ol speech
to advance the cause of negro elevation. Mr.
Wendell Phillips is not a man of fortune; he
is, in every sense, an adventurer. If this
article should meet his eye, and we trust it
may reach bis eye, he will know exactly win *
we mean in saying that he is the hired instru.
merit of another individual. He assails
everybody and everything on both sides of
tbe Atlantic that may fail to agree with the
views of bis employer; and we are bound "to
say that he does it with a vigor and virulence
which ought to command respect from those
who know nothing of his history.
Now, if this be true, what supreme folly to
place any reliance upon what such a man
will say of anybody or upon any subject
That th* words of a merejhired orator, set
up to denounce a man who is trying to exe
cute the laws ot a great country, should bo
regarded as worthy of any notice is degrad
ing to the American people. One cannot
help feeling a certain degree of respect for a
man, if honest iu his convictions, even
though he may differ from tbe rest of man
kind upon social or political matters; but
when a man hires himself out, for a price to
rail against all law and decency, the only w-y
to treat nim is to hold him in utter contempt.
If tbe editor of tbe Scottish American Jour
nal is correct, then let Wendell Phillips tike
his place with the lowest and meanest type of
humanity, viz: the Judases II I
A few days ago a party of men, one of
whom is said to have been deputy sheriff of
Livingston county, took possession of a train
on the Hannibal aud St Joseph railroad. Th*
tram was stopped at the next station and two
of them were put off, but during tbe trouble
that ensued, they attacked a brakeman and
shot hm in the abdomen. Two of the row
dies were arrested, and the others are known
and will be taken soon.
An Albany special states it is believed Got.
Fenton will pardon young Kotchum, ou what
grounds is not stated.
Wiiat Dobs it Mean.—Senator Wilson, of
Mass., closed his speech in opposition to tbe
President, a lew days since, ns follows :
“ Two years ago, in a trying hour of the
country, wo placed a gr at soldier n.t tho
head of all our armies, and he lead the ar
mies to victory, and the country to peace.—
Perhaps a patriotic and liberty-loving pi ople,
il disappointed io their aspirations and their
hopes, tuny again turn to that great captain
and summon him to marshal them to victo
ry.”
Wo hardly know, says tho New York Ex
press, how to interpret a threat like this. Is
it meant that General Grant shall do to the
President what Cromwell did to the British
Par.iament? If there is to bo any more fight
ing, perhaps General Grant will agree with
the soberminded people of the United States,
that it is a faction in Congress which needs
overhauling, instead of the President. This
is the Bth of the fourth month of the session
of Congress and patriotic men, men of law
and order, men of reason and justice, men of
business, men who wish for peace, prosperity
aud fraternal relations desire to see this war
closed in deed as iu name. Let il be done
the only way it can be done, by a representa
tion of all the States and the people in the
Congress of the United States.
| The enormous emigration from Europe in
tbe coining season is predicted by a corres-
dondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, who
writes from Frankfort-on-the-Main, us fol
lows :
Tbe emigration to your country continues
unabaleiHy. In 1865 there went, via Ham
burg, 37,695 passenger.., and embarked in
ninety-four sailing vessels and thirty steam
ers ; in 1864 there left only 19,767, on thirty
ships. The number of those wbo left Eu
rope, via Bremen, had reached already, in
November last, over 42,000. From the little
town of Herrenburg, iu Wertemburg, which
number only 2,418 inhabitants, left during
last year 67 persons, taking with them in
hard cash, over 25,000 gildets. There is not
the least doubt that the emigration from Eu
rope, during 1866, will reach at least, 300,-
000 persons.

high, m t«1 and religions tone; to make the paper of the
first class, and a wo .come visitor to every household,

partment will be presi.l)d over by a competent editor,
the whole forming a corps as talented and capable as
any ever employed on any one paper in the country.
Neither pains or expense wilt be spared to make the
Gazette an able and elegant journal, one of which the
people of >he South may feel justly pr nd.
Two pages of the Home Gazette will be devoted to
advorthem. nts. We, therefore, solicit the cards of
business houses, professional men, schools, colleges, Ac.
Our advertising rates will be—
