JL£T JM2lt FRO.IIGE&RAL EARLY. Havana, April 15, 1800. To the Editor of the New York News: Sir -1 have just returned from Mex ico. alter a sojourn of three months in that country. Having received from Virginia severel letters of inquiry in re gard to the prospects for emigrants to Mexico, ami having learned that many persons in that as well as the olher Southern States desire to emigrate, I will state, through your columns, the result of my own observation and the information received from others, on whose judgment I could rely. I must state, in the first place, that my per sonal observation of the country was confined to what I saw in passing and repassing over the stage route from Vet a Cruz to the City of Mexioo j the great er part ol my time having been spent in the latter citv. The lands in the Cordova uistrict and about Orizava, through which the stage route passes, are unquestionably rich, and intelligent gentlemen, who had seen other parts i>f the country, intonned me that there were other districts in which the lands were very rjtib. and capable ol being in t ,|e very" productive by the proper Hse of icapitaiy and labor. Hut colo oTi^r^PhavWtnmy difficulties to en been no effort to ascertain the loeTtwfcy of ike public lands, until that recently made under the superintc ndence of General M igru der. Chief of lire Land Office. All the lands at Cordova which have been surveyed as public lands have been al ready parceled out, and have supplied hut a small number of colonists. Land titles in Mexico are in a very unsettled condition,and but few men know the boundaries of their own lands. So uniformed is tlte Government itself in regard to the lands to which it has Harms that, in taking a contract with General Hardeman, of Texas, for the survey of the public, lands in Durango, tiio whole risk anti expense of discov ering those lands have been thrown on him, and he is to receive compensa tion, only in the event of his bting able to find and survey the lands, the Gov ernment not ever, undertaking to lur- Irish him protection against guerrillas and robbers, while he is engaged in ful filling his contract. The lands offered by private individuals in alternate sec tions to colonists, so far as 1 am in formed, arc in remote distrieis. where he Lib< ra's, o- Dissidents, r.s t' ey are called, have control, and the Govern ment can afford no protect.on. The very higlilv colored accounts of the country and its resources which have been published, and the expectations ol a large influx of emigrants which have been excited, have caused proprietors having land for sale to increase enor mously the prices asked for them, and many persons who Iwe recently ar rived in the country have been unable to procure lands either Irom the Gov- or Irom private individuals. The Ivgitimatc consequence of all this lias been that many are returning in a great state of dissatisfaction, while minus, who relied on the delusive ptmuiscs or aid Irom the Government, ft ad themselves not only without the means of obtaining lands, but ol return ing to their former homes, it is ex ceedingly difficult for those who have succeeded in getting lauds to procure 1 ihorto put Aem in a slate of cultivation, as the native population cannot be reli ed on for that purpose. All idea of procuring assistance Irom the Govern ment must be abandoned by those who desire to emigrate to the country. I have no doubt that Mexico lias lesour ces which, under a stable government and with capital and labor sufficient, are susceptible of a very considerable development; but those who go there expecting to find the beautiful and fruitful land which is described in some of the published accounts, will be doomed to as sad a disappointment as that experienced by the old Spanish conquerors in their search for the fabled Eldorado. On the ra 1 o and which in being constructed from \ era Cruz to the Citv of Mexico, practical and experienced engineers, contractors and mechanics may find employ incut, but otherwise very few positions are open to those who do not wish to cultivate the soil- Physicians who can speak the language can get permission to practice .heir professions, but beyond this their is no opening whatever lor any il'thc learned profession. As to the stability of the Govern ment, I will stale that 1 have no in formation, except whaljnay be obtain ed by any sojourner, in the country who cannt t speak the language.— Though I remained in the national cap. ital lor nearly three months, 1 did not sec, even casually, as far as I know, the Emperor, Empress, or any Minister of the Government, nor did 1 seek to see them. 1 think, however, l ain warranted in saving that any one who desires to make Mexico his permanent home must do so without reference to the duration of the present Govern ment. Information as to the length of time which that Government isube maintained in the country is not to ho obtained in Mexico. I have m l advised ary of my per sonal friends to emigrate to the coun try, and my knowledge is not sutiiiiont to justify me m now giving any posi tive advice either way ; hut. though my own determination to remain in < xilc s unchanged, I let-1 a deep interest in the welfare of all my countrymen of the Southern Stales, uud the knowledge watch I obtained Iron tnv own observ - lion, as well ms Irom the information of others, is siifCiceut not onl\ to author ize me, hut, in my estimation, to make it my duty to advise all those who arc desirous ol seeking urn bonus, not to give up their present one and emigrate to Mexico, until they shall have exam ined the country in person, or ascertain ed through some friend on whose judg ment and experience they can rely*, that their situations will lie bettered. Above all, let no man who has a wife and chil dren carry tlidWfjfo Mexico until he has secured a certain home am! a fair pros pect of support for them. Bv observing this caution much disappointment and suffering will be avoided. 1 send this communication to your paper for publication, as 1 luve no doubt that in that way it will sooner reach the mass of the readers for whom it is in tended, than in any other.

May !•", ISttO Our Buospkcts.— They are anything but bright. Humbled by defeat, and impoverished until we are scarcely a hie to breathe, the prospect of being deprived of ihe liberty of suffrage is by no means doubtful, unless something more than we can see, transpires to prevent it. The Report ot the Reconstruction Committee has, in all probability, be come a law of the land by a two-thirds vote of Congress ; the provisions of which amendment to the Constitution, we give below in a nutshell : In a Nutshell. — The New A ork Times, whose tone grows mote and more decided, under the head ol “ 1 he Way the People Understand it,” thus expresses itself: “The Southern States claimed, and the North denied, the right to secede from the Union. Both be lieved thev were right and appealed to the arbitrament of war. '1 be North conquered. The South accepted the result. Why, then, do we maintain that Slates which we said could not get out of the Union are out of iti" The Milwaukee News is equally pithy. It says that the (ventral Direc tory cares nothing now for measures calculated to benefit tlie country, or lighten the burdens of the people. The one great thought, above all others, is how thev shall perpetuate their power and benefit themselves. The business to be done now is to arrange plans for carrying the next Congress and the next President. The programme which has been laid down by the Central Direc tory, and which they will call upon the people to endorse, is staled to be as follows : 1. To exclude the Southern States from representation till after the Pres dcntiul campaign. li. To exclude the einire Southern vote lor President and Vice Pr. sident, upon the precedent established bv Congress in the hist election. II?. II the Southern and Northern Democratic vote together should fdect a President, to be prepared to resist that election by anew rebellion. IV. To nominate none but thorough ly Radical candidates; to avoid all dountfnl men, and especially men ol “Democratic antecedents,” and to go before the country on negro sullrage, negro superiority, Soiiijieru teritorial ization and Radical cewvralization. Congress is contemplating an ad journment, and lor fear the President will advance his Reconstruction policy during their recess, have set themselves at work to forestall him on every hand, by proscribing his supporters in the South, and restricting bis appointing power. Everything they do louks to the perpetuation of their party in pnw rr. I’lie good of the country is lost sight of, and made subordinate to the good of party. Nothing is left for the South to do but quietly acquiesce and submit to the conditions prescribed for her. Taxation without representation or participation in governmental mat ters. All who, in any wise, voluntari ly aided or abetted the rebellion are to be denied the liberty of voting until after the 4th July. 1876, no matici how tnanv oaths has been taken to sup port the Constitution and the Union. Let us quietly submit to the powers that be, and hope for better times. Bu Attention is called to the card of Wilson & Shackleford, Grocers and Commission Merchants, Atlanta, Ga.

[From the Central Presbyterian.] To former Chaplains, Mission aries, and Colporteurs of the •‘Army of Northern Virginia.” Dear Brethren: The undersign ed. at the instance of many brethren, and in accordance with his own de sires, proposes to write in a connected narrative, the Religious History of the Army of Northern Virginia. And in order to succeed in the effort, he must have the assistance ol the brethren who labored in that great harvest field. His design is to trace the gradual develop ment of religious interests in the army, give a narrative of the great revivals with which the different brigades were blessed, and show the influence of the gospel upon the morals and efficiency of the great army. He desires to il lustrate and enliven the narrative by such incidents and anecdotes as he may be able to cull from bis diary, or ob tain from other sources. Will not brethren whose privilege it was to labor in that army send me brief sketches ofthe religious history of their brigades—embracing such statistics as the number ol conversions, number ol prayer meetings, accounts of tract dis tribution, the general deportment of the young converts, and any other facts of interest. I should also be glad to get Dels going to show the effect of the ar my revivals upon the churches —wheth- er our returned soldiers have maintain ed their Christian character —what proportion of the army converts intend to devote themselves to the gospel ministry. <s' c - The undersigned is impressed with the magnitude of the work he has un dertaken, and would gladly turn it over to some more competent hand . hut he is sc anxious to see some such memorial of those precious seasons of revival in which it was his high privi lege to have been an humble laborer, that he*has determined to endertake the work, and begs that lie may have the sympathies, the prayers, and the ac tive assistance of the brethren with whom lie was so pleasantly associated during the scenes of the war. Any suggestions from br'thren. as to the details of the work, as well as the material above asked for, sent to my address — Goshen Bridge, Central Railroad, Va.,— -will be most thank fully received. J, Wm. Jonf.s, (formerly) Chaplain 13tli Virginia Infantry,and Evangelist ro Hill's Corps. N. B.—Will the religious papers of the South please copy this notice? Administeri.no their own Medi cine to them. —At an election in Janes ville, Wisconsin, a radical, who was a candidate for Constable, brought with him to tlie polls a negro to vote. The candidate said the negro was on an e* quality with the white man, and was entitled to vote and hold office ; and by bis persuasion the Judges received the vole, though it was illegal. The conser vative Republicans thereupon put the negro on their ticket, and elected him Constable, by a large majority over the radiral candidate, to the great disgust of the latter. His own medicine did not set well on Itis stomache. The Republican party in that S ate is becoming terribly demoralized. —[/liaison Gazette. “SITING” IN MISSISSIPPI. Copy ing and commenting on an arti cle ol the Memphis Argus. in reference to the grand mania ot suing for debt which has broken out in Mississippi, the Jackson Standard says: “Tne rapaciousness of creditors in our State is damaging its reputation about as much as the repudiators did. The Argus is right. Tie disease is fearful ; and the worst of it is. that its seeds are sown by a class of nten who are wholly impervious to the pleas ot distress. They are so purblind that they can't see that their own material interests would be promoted by a little leniency at this time. Their little souls seem to be altogether absorbed in the effort to wr-nch their “pound of llesh” from the hard pressed debtor. These are the men who strenuously objected 10 the passage of the Stay Law upon the ground that creditors would not press their claims!

It is now a violation of the laws of Wisconsin for .amors to enter billiaid room* or places where liquor* arc sold. I’he following is a Composition read by one of Dr. F elton’.s scholars : SPRING. Just here I want to put in a word of explanation. This subject has been al most exhausted ; and as a consequence, it might be supposed, that any one who undertakes to say somthing on it must either have pretty exalted views of his capacity or under-rate the many fine things that have been said and sung on it before him. But neither of these motives prompt me now—l know that it is not from any egotistic notions that I attempt a few words on this subject: and I am equally far from having a sorry o pinion of the writings of others on this subject—But 1 take it for a foregone conclusion, that every school boy and girl, must at some period or other write on Spring. I believe 1 have never at tempted anything on this interesting topic ; and keeping in view the fact re tered to, that by the force of custom, at least, I must at some time or other say somthing about it—why I reckon this is as good a chance as I shall ever have. Spring is generally claimed to be ad mired (I dont believe it can be tn real ity) above all other seasons. Why this is the case I have not as yet been able tu find out: but I intend to continue my exertions ’till I either find this lovely somthing in it or convince ntv&elf more thoroughly than ever that it does not exist—Now I do acfmkAhere is a class of persons to which this season'appears beautiful, nor do I wonder much that it should. I mean those lovesick swains and sentimental Misses, who have nev er, in any age and country been remark ably distinguished for an overstock of common sense—But I must confess that I can sec nothing in it to be admired by any other class. It is the most dis agreeable season of the year, winter not excepted. It is changeable : now warm as August; now cold as December. — To the farmer it is the most unpleasant; he then commences a long year of toil: he looks forward to days of sweat and cold ; it is a commencement which is al ways more disagreeable than a winding up—What if there are a few flowers open ! It does not therefore make a person admire the season more. A man is not dependent for his existence on a few rose buds and violets, and be cause the birds begin to pair off and caorle their gleeful songs at the depart ure of old icy hearted winter, it does not therefore follow that Spring is cal culated to make us feel poetical and put a thousand foolish notions in our heads! What though, “the dove with gentle cooing calls foith its mate to the bower, redolent of the fragrance ol flow ers.” Is this not more than counter balanced by the shortening of the win ter nights. Does not the “jocund day stand tiptoe on the mountains top” all too soon, thus depriving us the pleasure o 'ingcring late around the fire at night. It has a morbid, depressing cflect on us; we all feel sluggish and lazy during Spring : we dont get Hall sleep enough during spring; there seems to be only a short dreainbfetwffen laying down and the call to get up —By the way did you ever think of those two Anglo-saxon words. Monosyllaic words though there are few others caube found which convey to our mind, ideas more tin pleasant, but when wc hear these words we are almost tempted to renounce the old maxim “Early to bed and early to rise.” We all bate to rise ; sage coun sel from older heads and from lored pa rents to the contrary notwithstanding, and the old sterotyped phrase, sounded so often in the ears of us youth as an admonishment. “When I was ofyour age, I rose with the lark” leaving the inference that they had performed won ders before breakfast. Therein av old mizim and a very just one, which runs this way—“ Give the devil his due.” and acting on this principle it is right to say tlint there is one redeeming fea ture in Spring. It brings fortli the grass of the field and invites rumina ting animals to a full repast cf nature’s own providing. Bin this is about the only good it does—But to my mind, winter fills the till which some people make out for spring. Then the farmer sees the result of his year of toil and is satisfied. His toil is over t til the hate fid Spring comes on again. Winter reminds us that an-other year will soon be gone and also that our lives are rap idly drawing to a close; that we will soon he gathered to our long homes ; either saved in the garner ol the owner of the field, or left like fruitless stalks to rot on the field. In winter we look hack and can see the errors committed during the year and may improve on them. It is in winter that. wc reflect that we are one year nearer Cos the grave and may strive to avoid the danger a:ic! temptations during the coming year on which we vyerked in the pas! —As I said at first, every boy or girl must sometime or other write on Spring.— Shis I have attempted to do, and am therefore relieved of this duty for the future : and as long as l can find some other subject, I think 1 will let some body else devote their time and atten tion to the admiratian of this miserable season. And now. since I have written on it conformed to custom, I may say that if I could have found some other subject this time, I would yet have had to write on this subject. W. 11. 11. The Grand ••Recosstrvction” Plan. —A good many Republicans are o disheartened at the cold reception on all sides of the Reeonstru-.tion Com mittee’s report, that it 4a very doubtful if the bantling is called up this weekl It will be laid aside, and the practi cal work on the Tax bill commenced. truth. Letter, Oth. The man that don't advertise is in town. He thought it was Sundry. The Income Tax. In order that our readers may be cor rectly advised of requirements made upon them by the Internal Revenue law, in relation to incomes, we lay be fore them to-day the following valuable and pertinent condensation of a law which attends alike all who are in re ceipt of incomes, North or South : “It should be remembered by tax payers that the Ist of May is the time fixed by the Internal Revenue law for the leturn of schedules of incomes to tiie Assistant Assessors. The amend ed law of March 3, 1865, is still in force, and it is officially announced that the assessment of this year will be made in accordance with its provisions, regard less of any action of Congress on the new tax bill reported to the House.— ■The Senate refuses to concur in the House resolution providing lor an ex tension of time for two months, in or der to permit the new law to go into effect. Tax payers, therefore, are re quired to furnish their schedules to the Assistant Assessors in the respective districts on or before Tuesday- next. — The Assessor is under no legal obliga tion to send blank forms; lie may do so as an act of courtesy, but it is the business of tax payers to find his of fice, obtain the blanks, fill them up and return them. In case of neglect or re fusal, the Assessors are empowered to make the return and to add a penalty of twenty-five per cent, or, in case of fraud, to add one hundred per cent, to the amount ascertained to be due. “The duties on incomes are payable within sixty days after the return of the schedule to the Assessor: that is on or before the 30th day o! June. The income must be reckoned for the year ending December 31, 1865, and the tax is 6 per cent, on all sums between §6OO and $5,000, and 10 per cent, on the excess over $5,000. The deduc tions permitted are: 1. The sum of S6OO from all incomes; 2. All national, State, county and municipal taxes paid within the year, (including the income tax paid last summer;) 3. The amount paid for rent, or the rental value of any homestead occupied by the tax payer or bis family, in bis own right or the right of his wife; 4; The amount paid !or usual or ordinary repairs, taking the average of tlte preceeding five years. These are all the deductions that can be made. “The income tax is a lion upon property if not .paid within the time fixed by law, and the collectors are in vested with litll poweis to take legal proceedings for distraint and collection. The proper observance of the time and manner of payment will therefore save the tax paver much trouble.” The loregoing we copy from the New York Post. It is well for our people to note that if their income tax is not paid within the time fixed by law, the Collectors are invested with full powers for distraint and collection. —[.Atlanta Intelligencer., Southern Rf.uf b air. —At a meet ing (says the Baltimore Gazette) of the Executive Committee of Ladies, held yesterday, the sum of SIOB,OOO was appropriated to the following States: Virginia “ “ “ “ “ $20,000 North Carolina “ “ “ *• 10,000 South Carolina “ “ “ “ 15,000 Georgia “ “ “ “ “ “ 10,000 Alabama “ “ “ “ “ “ 10,000 Mississippi “ “ “ “ “ 15 000 Florida “ “ “ “ “ 4,000 Tennessee “ “ “ “ “ 6,000 Arkansas “ “ “ “ “ 4,000 Louisiana “ “ “ “ “ 0,000 Maryland “ “ “ “ “ 8,000 A committee of the ladies were ap* pointed to superintend the distribution for each State—a list ol whom will be published in a lew days. In addition to the appropriations above, about 850, 000 will remain as a reserved iiind in the hands of the Executive Committee to increase the allotment to sucfjt Slate as may require it, and to meet special cases. The result of the Fair lias been so far developed as to make it certain that its aggregate proceeds will not be less than ore hundred and sixty thous and dollars. The entire expenses will not exceed three thousand dollars. Congress Warned —The Constitu tionul Union, published at Washington, in its issue of Wednesday contains an article on Congressional action in the foil wing words : “These inen had better beware; they arc not a legal Congress, but ail unconditional body of usurpers. The country (eels that the one great error of the President was in his ever reco gnizing them at all, in their self-imposed rump condition ; they had no claim for recognition as an official body from an honest man, or any other branch of Government. We doubt whether the Supreme Court will ever affirm any of their acts to be valid. This thing of Congressional fanaticism and treason ought be done away with. The Ameri can Congress now is*he facsimile of that rump Parliament which Cromwell kicked out ot doors, and served them just right.
