INTERESTING READING MATTER ON 4TH PAGE.
THE ISSUH
It is said that the issue now before the coun
try is “ between the supporters of the Presi
dent and the supporters of Radical disunionists.”
Though holding roughly the germs of truth,
this st tement might have been put with less
incorrectness in the form that the struggle is
between those who desire a return to, and ob
servance of, the Federal Constitution and those
thereto opposed. Looking at the matter, in
this way, the issue is put on the basis of princi
ples rather than men, and with how muek
truth a very little exposition will show. The
animus of those now called the Radicals in this
country is, with a diflcrence in manifestation,
the same as that which actuated in England
Charles the First and James the Second. In
either case is the same disregard of civil liber
ty, the same detestation of popular rights, and
the same determination to make Will predom
inant over Law. Charles the First had a
court of illimitable jurisdiction; unknown to
and subversive of, the fundamental laws of hie
country; and the Radicals have to-day, in
America a similar illegal judicature. The
Stuart, having this court, sought to make it a
perpetuity, and such also is, at this present
time, the desire and attempt of the Radical
party —the Star Chamber and the Freedmen’s
Court being, in different ages and countries,
bnt two names for an equally unconstitutional
and despotic tribunal. Under cover of a word
of loose and indeterminate meaning, James
the Second sought to set himself above
all the laws of England, and, by precisely
the same device, the Radicals seek to at
tain the same despotic pre-eminence. Pre
rogative was the stalking horse of the would
be English tyrant and Loyalty is the covert of
his American imitators. Large standing ar
mies aud a muzzled press, heavy taxation and
denied representation, illegal tribunals and no
habea a corpus , the omnipotence of the Ruler
and the ignoral of the Ruled were the cardinal
tenets, the constant endeavor, and the cherished
purpose of every impudent despot that ever sat
upon the English throne. Word for word, the
same means, appliances, and supports of tyranny
are the vision by day and tbe dream by night of
Radical leaders in this republic. Cunning as
any Stuart in the use of names, the people of
these United States would do well to consider
the real meaning these men have in the past
shown they attached to the fairest phrases.
When the late war broke out it will be remem
bered that almost every individual now promi
- lient among them was loud in his declared love
for the Union. Unhallowed hands, was the cry,
are imposed upon Liberty’s fairest temple;
madness seeks to disrupt the best government
the world ever saw; hurtful changes are essayed
in this great sisterhood of States, and we must
come up to the rescue that, fair and perfect,
with not one jot or tittle abated, the Federal
Union, just as it came from the hands of the
Fathers, may be maintained. Erring sisters, was
'the supplication, return, return; your places
are still your own; your stars are in the Flag,
your stripes upon its folds, return. With this
much as their position toward the South—a
most express declaration that it was the inmost
desire of their hearts to restore old political
relations in the minutest integrity, these men
turned to the North with the same watchword
on their lips. To that section their language
was—we desire no interference with the do
mestic institutions of the Southern States ; we
propose no disfranchisements of those States ;
and would not, for the world, reduce them, had
we the power, to any other condition of subjec
tion than that of obedience to the Federal Con
stitution. Subjugation is not in our thoughts,
Emancipation is not in our thoughts, and Con
solidation has never even entered our dreams.
The restoration of the Union in its integrity is
our single purpose and we ask you to help us
that, even though it be by wholesome severity,
we bring it to pass that the South may once
more send members to Congress, may once more
cast votes for Presidents,once more co-cnact laws
with us, once more bear with us our burdens,
share with ns a common glory, and be hence
forth and forever under the lustrons cegis of the
one indissoluble Bond. Under this appeal, the
■North sent forth Its tens of thou
sands of men against this section, spent its
money like water and scattered its blood like
rain. An immense army, an immense navy, an
immense civil establishment were severally
built up. An aggregation of power such as
modem history only records in the latter Na
poleonic Coalition was gathered together and
then slowly gotten into the hands of men now
known as Radicals. First using this power as
the Northern people intended, they crushed us
—scaled our ports, broke down our currency,
overwhelmed our armies, swept away our civil
establishment like chaff, put gyves on many
gallant gentleme'n, our leaders, and humbled us
as the savage Muscovite humblse the Pole.
“ Wholesome severity" did its work and did it
well. By the middle of June 18C5, the South
desired nothing more ardently than that the
Union might be restored in its integrity, just as
it existed before the first gun boomed along the
shores of Charleston bay. The object of the
war was accomplished. The blood and treasure
of the North had not been spent in vain. The
great attempt at lessening the Federal Union
liad failed, and nothing remained but to impose
on the South its ancient constitutional duties,
remit to it its ancient constitutional rights and
declare that the American Union was restored.
Had there been truth in the hearts of the
Radical leaders this would have been done. The
Northern people had a right to expect such a
redemption of the pledges made them. When
the power was lacking they had freely supplied
it, and were fully justified in demanding that the
will should not be wanting. Unfortunately for
them, unfortunately for us, unfortunately, if
this despotism be allowed to triumph, for our
children who are to come after us, the will is
lacking. These Radiear leaders do not mean to
restore the Union. They claimed to fight for
its re-integration and are proven to have warred
for the liberation of the slave, and, just so sure
ly, as they now claim to battle for Universal
Liberty, they seek to compass the bondage of
the Free. We fought for the Confederacy ; we
are neither ashamed or sorry for what we have
done ; we claim to have been, In our own eyes,
in the right and are now, and were always wil
ling to admit same feelings of conscious
rectitude in those who opposed us, and, with
* this record and these sentiments, are willing to
say to any and all of our antagonists, whereso
ever they may be, that we will agree to bury
the past and stand side by side with them in the
assertion, maintenance, and defence of Anglo-
Saxon fredom as embodied in the Constitution
of the United States. So, too, 6n a vote, we
think, would say the whole body of the South
people. They and we spit at and scorn the
present beggarly prate of “loyalty,” of “ dis
affection," of “rebellion.” We owe no “loy
alty" any where or to any one—the word is a
strange word, not heard since it meant Toryism
in New York and the Caroliuas ; the thing is
a strange thing, foreign to a republic aud not
existent ou this continent, save in imperial Mex
ico and Canada, since the days of old King
George. And we are “ disaffectedas little
partial to despotism as is Andrew Johnson,
or any American that has a freemans heart in
his bosom. No “ rebels” are we either, save in
the slang of the day, but true men, ready to
stand with the North and call it Brother if it
will only stand by us iu an attempt to re-assert
and forever firmly establish those principles of
freedom that are far more precious than all the
Confederate States or United States that ever
existed or will ever arise. This is the issue.
Everything our forefathers in England or Ame
rica fought for on the one side—everything
they fought against on the other. Whole sec
tions of the Declaration of Independence may,
in the matter of grievances set forth, be laid to
the Radicals as things they have done, and still
seek to do. Whole paragraphs of the Bill of
Rights might be quoted as embodying princi
ples now in danger. From Sprague monopo
lies, that 3'ield their five and ten millions, to the
dispensing power of Stevens that sets at
naught constitutional representation, there is
not a villainy, political or industrial, once at
tempted in Britain not now essayed here. The
People there beat down tyranny though in the
guise of anointeff kings, and must do it here
where it comes at the hands of blackguard
tricksters.
A special dispatch to the Louisville Courier ,
from Atlanta, dated the 7tb, says : A letter from
Stewart county says a party of white men went
to a plantation a few days ago for the purpose
of plundering, but they were driven off by the
plantation negroes. Next day the party return
ed with reinforcements and a desperate conflict
ensued. Three white men and seven negroes
were killed and several wounded. Great ex
£ citement prevails.
TRICHINA SPIRALIS AGAIN.
Several days since, we had occasion to call •
public attention to the fact that a nauseous and
frightful epidemic, called Trichina Sparilis , had •
ravaged portions of Germany and made its ap
pearance sporadically in the North Western
section of this country. Simultaneously, a
lengthened history of the disease was appended
to the editorial caution, and we know that sev
eral patrons of this journal were perfectly
aghast at the scientific array of facts and others
turned blue at the sight of a porker. As we
desire to have this question ventilated for the
delectation of the multitude, we give the latest
intelligence on the subject. A certain Dr. R.
H. Goldsmith, writing to the Baltimore Sun,
seems to demolish Mr. Brown’s theory con
cerning the virulent quality of hog-flesh. Ilis
'acts are rather stubborn and, if they prove
nothing else, they certainly demonstrate how
much can be said on both sides of any given
question. He mentions the Southern negroes,
the soldiers in the late war, and other voracious
pork-eaters, to prove that it is a wholesome
diet ; says trichinosis is an old disease ; that the
trichina spiralis may be in a convalescing man’s
lle6h, and winds up as follows :
“Now, what conclusions inevitably present
themselves alter a consideration of these facts?
The first is, that if we prepaie our food prop
erly by cooking thoroughly, we need not alarm
ourselves about the trichina. The second is,
that pork is as suitable for consumption, for
people who exercise vigorously, as any of the
meats in ordinary use. And, lastly, avoid eat
ing any meat to excess not through fear of
trichina , but that you may maintain good health
and enjoy a vigorous old age.
Substantial deductions of this nature would
console the most obtuse. Indeed, having pon
dered over it, we returned to forbidden gastro
nomic suprlses in the way of spare-rib and
mgar-cured ham. Scarcely, however, had we
completed a hearty meal of this description,
when, glancing over the European mails, our
professional eye glared upon the following para
graph :
At Vienna, pork has been dropped from the
bill of fare at most of the leading hotels, and the
nig dealers have telegraphed to their agents in
Scrvia and Hungary not to send them any more
of the animalß. The Jews arc in ecstacles, and
■ sausage makers are in despair,
f We are free to confess that certain unpleasant
- sensations began to pervade the equatorial line
1 of our physique and evffry disgusting demise
a from Herod and Scylla to the Dutch woman
r at Chicago blistered the very atmosphere with
.1 cadaverous phantasmagoria. We remembered
I that we had partaken, too, of vermicelli soup at
,t dinner, and wished it had assumed a less ques
e tionable shape. In a word, our imagination re
y volted, and recovered composure only when
d our serenity allowed us to assume that there
s was some escape in the fact that the disagree
if ment of doctors, if it occasionally kill the pa
r tient, just as frequently saves him. Sic me ser
it vavit Apollo.
EMANCIPATION.
We reproduce from the London Times an
3 elaborate and sagacious article, upon the re
’ suits of emancipation of the blacks in Jamai
’ ea, and the inevitable fate of freedmen in the
' United States. That which is but a novelty
1 with us is an old experiment with Britain.
I
She has scrutinized this elephant through all
’ his grim characteristics, and may be considered
* an expert on the subject of ebo-sliin economy
in nature. Now that England has compassed
5 her design of making her most formidable ri
-3 val, the United States, a political and social
1 distraction; now that she has succeeded in
3 tricking the fox into the same trap upon which
1 she fell some thirty-odd years ago—good ad
-1 vice, being a cheap article with knaves, is lav
' islicd puou the inveigled adversary. We fancy
1 that not a few fanatics will peruse this article
with a ghastly fancy and speculative eye. It is
e one thing to roll on the ball of Reform ;it is
another thing to curb its fierce career. Mira-
L ‘ beau started the French Revolution with a
’ giant push; attempting to arrest it, his arm
* was as ineffectual as an old gentleman’s gold
headed cane between the water buckets of the
Great Eastern’s wheel.

THE SOUTHERN DEAD.
3 We take great pleasure in copying the sol
s lowing beautiful tribute to the Southern
, Dead from the Columbus Sun and Times. Its
> suggestions are worthy of our heroic ■ women
; and the loved oues they propose to commeroor
i ate. It would be “gilding refined gold ”to add
a single word to this touching appeal, and if we
dare say ought further, it is that the ladies of
Columbus may not be alone in this holy under
taking. Let the ladies of Augusta, and of the
South at large, emulate a grand duty so Worthily
inaugurated :
Columbus, Oa., March 10, 18C6.
Messrs. Editors: The ladies are now, and
have been for several days, engaged in the sad
but pleasant duty of ornamenting and improv
ing that portion of the city cemetery sacred to
the memory of our gallant Confederate dead,
but we feel it an unfinished work unless a day
be set apart annually for its especial attention.
We cannot raise monumental shafts, and in
scribe thereon their many deeds of heroism, but
we can keep alive the memory of the debt we
owe them, by at least, dedicating one day in
each year to embelishing their humble graves
with flowers. Therefore, we beg the assistance
of the Press and the Ladies throughout the
South, to aid us in our efforts to set, apart a cer
tain day to be observed from the Potomac to
the Rio Grande, and be handed down through
time as a religious custom of the country to
wreathe the graves of our martyred dead with
flowers. (We would propose the 2d Wednes
day in May, as at that time our land may be
truly called the “land of flowers.”) Let every
city, town and village, join in the pleasant duty;
let all he alike remembered, from the heroes of !
Manassas to those who expired amid the death
throes of our hallowed cause. We’ll crown
alike the honored resting places of the im
mortal Jackson, in Virginia, Johnson, of Shiloh,
Cleburne, in Tennessee, and the host of gallant
privates who adorned onr ranks—all did their
duty, and to all we owe our gratitude. Let the
soldiers’grave, for that day at least, be the
Southern Mecca, to whose shrine her sorrow
ing women, like pilgrims, may annually bring
their grateful hearts and floral offerings. And
when we remember the thousands who were
buried with “ their martial cloak around them,”
without Christian ceremony of interment for
their beloved bodies, we would invoke the aid
of the most thrilling eloquence throughout the
land, to inaugurate this custom by delivering
on the appointed day, this year, an eulogy on
the unburied dead of our glorious Southern
army. They died for their country. Whether
their country had, or had not, the right to de
mand the sacrifice, is no longer a question of
discussion with us. We leave that for the
future nation to decide. That it was demand
ed, that they nobly responded, and fell holy
sacrifices upon their country’s altar, and arc
thereby entitled to their country’s gratitude,
none will deny.
The proud banner under which they rallied
in defense of the noblest cause for which heroes
fought, or trusting woman prayed, has been
furled forever. The country for which they
suffered and died has now no name or place
among the nations of the earth. Legislative
enactments may not now be made to do honor
to their memories—but the veriest Radical that
ever traced his geneology back to. the deck of
the May Flower, could not deny us the simple
privilege of paying honor to those who died
defending the life, honor and happiness of the
Southern Women.
PLEASANT READING FOR COTTON
AGENTS.
As a tit-bit which may mean more than meets
the optics, we beg that all concerned may stick
a pin in the followingparagraph. When Butler
has been obliged to suffocate a history of his
peculation by pdfying up promptly on two oc
casions, wc fancy that this choice morsel of in
formation will make certain gentry squirm
uneasily ou the hook of conscience. Says a
New York journal:
Assistant Secretary Chandler’s account of the
results of his investigation of official corrup
tions in the South, will startle the country.—
The frauds are most comprehensive, and involve
military as well as civil officials. A special com
mittec of investigation will be instituted, that
will tiuravel a complicated system of rascality.
Dr. Isaiah P. Lynn, a well-known physician
• of Chicago, died recently from the effect of nine
grains of morphine. He had been visiting his
patients as usual, and on reaching his oflicc in
the evening took five grains of morphine, in
order to ease certain pains from which he was j
suffering. Finding no relief from that quan- i
tity, he subsequently took four grains more,
when he relapsed into insensibility, from '
which state all efforts to restore him proved un- !
availing. ■

In his interesting work, “Grant and His Cam- ,

as to the Lieutenant General’s correct name.— 1
In a note, he says: “ His father tells us that his *

he accepted the name while at West Point, J
only changing it to Ulysses Simpson, honor t

IMMIGRATION TO MEXICO.
AN IMPORTANT LETTER FROM CAPT. M.
F. MAURY.
» , ' •
A COLONIZATION OFFICE IN FULL OPERATION.
Office Colonization a
13 San Juan de Letran, \
Mexico, February 9, 1866. }
My Dear Sir : I have received your letter
inquiring, like many others, about Mexico,
with the view of making it their home.
You know its geographical features and the
fame of its mineral wealth. Its soil is of un
surpassed fertility, aiid its- climate, after you
begin to ascend the table land, is as delicious
and healthful as the heart of man can desire.
The /Emperor is ruling wisely and mildly.
Their Majesties are beloved by the' Imperialists
and respected by all ; they move as freely
ampng the people as the President of the United
States ever did in days of yore. The Empire is
continually gaining ground. Enterprise is
abroad—many works of- internal improvement
are already under way and about to be com
menced. Capital is leaving us hiding place,s,
and the columns of the newspaper ' press are
daily, and for months have been filled with the ■
names of Liberals, who, looking upon the
Empire as a success, and' their cause as a fail
ure, have laid down their arms, and are giving
in their adhesion.
Property and life are daily becoming more
secure. As an illustration, the doors of the.
house in which I live are without locks ; nor do
I ever take care even to shut ■ any of them be
fore Igo bed. True, there is a patero below,
but the building is an old Convent, inhabited
and frequented Ijy hundreds of people who are
not barred from each other by am’ fastenings.
The impressions abroad about Mexico are
very erroneous. With regard to the inquiries
in behalf of our friends who desire to come to
this lovely land, I have to say :
They can find desirable locations in any cli
mate they please, and suitable for the cultiva
tion of any staple they prefer, or the raising of
any kind of stock. As to the most profitable
branch of agricultural industry—that varies
with the locality—the variation depending as
well upon the convenience and circumstances
of the market as upon geographical conditions.
Owing to the want of roads, navigable rivers
aud canals, internal transportation is tedious
and expensive, and exportation difficult. Hence,
in one part of the Empire the spectacle has not
been unfrequently presented of breadstuff's at
famine prices, while in a neighboring depart
ment they were wasting for want of consumers.
The most desirable locations, therefore, for
immigrants who are “ well to do,’* (and this is
(he class that must lead the way), are on what
may be called the intertropical belt of Mexico,
within which Cordova and Jala pa are situated.
This is a sort of steppe, or slope, which arises
from the low lands of tile coast to the various
climates which are to be found in all intertropi
cal latitudes, at the height of from two thousand
to four thousand feet above the sea. Within
this range the climates are those of perpetual
summer; they are healthy and delightful.
These steppes encircle the Empire on the
! East, South and West; they overlook the valley
I of the Coatzacoaleos and the Gulf of Mexico on
| one side, and the Pacific Ocean on the other,
j mid abound in garden spots as beautiful as
Eden itself, and as sinful too.
Cordova and Jalapa are such places ; they are
in sight of the sea. The farmer there, and at
many other places, may reap from the same
! field two or three crops annually, with an in
crease of three or four hundred fold upou the
seed sown. In the course of the present year a
railway is to be completed from each of these
points to Vera Cruz, which will bring them
fairly within the domains ot foreign commerce.
Corn, cotton, qoffee, sugar and tobacco all do
well here; but, as a rule, I consider eotfee, cot
ton and tobacco as the most profitable staples
of cultivation, because they can best bear trans
portation and stand competition in foreign mar
. kets.
Formerly, and before the country began to he
tossed and vexed by revolution, lands in the
neighborhood of these twocities were valued at
from $75 to 8100 per acre.
Many of these splendid haciendas, some of
them largo enough to accommodate with ele
gant farms ten times fitly fttmilies, were broken
up during the revolution and their owners
compelled to seek safety elsewhere.
They have fallen into ruin and decay through
absenteeism, and now that order is restored,
the Empire gaining ground, and internal im
provements encouraged by the wise policy of
the Emperor, these lands are coming into' de
mand.
But present owners find themselves too poor
to repair and bring them under cultivation
again. They are for sale, and may be bought
at from $2 to $2 per acre.
These abandoned haciendas (ami they arc to
lie found in all parts of the Empire) are the
places for poor thrifty Americau farmers to es
tablish themselves. Let them, therefore, send
out their head men to select a place for the
whole settlement, to be followed immediately
by their young men to sow and plant, and build
and repair, and make ready for the old men,
the women and the children and otiiers, to fol
low by the time the lands are ready.
They will find it at first best to establish
themselves iu villages, as well as for mutual
convenience, as for protection against the
bands of lawless maruders, who are ever ready
to pounce upon the helpless tanners. Immi
grants should bring with them such mechanics
as are required to satisfy their own wants and
necessities.
Tell those who coinc to count upon all the
assistance and every facility and the best infor
mation it is in my power to afford, or within
the province of this office to give.
In the Northern Department the vine flour
ishes well, and the wine is excellent.
On the slopes next to tl\o sea cochin^fc^H
indigo are, cultivated, Jdro't'At ami
spices collected. M
The most profitable itoek raising are iuimMP
horses and goats. There is room for profitable
improvement in the breed of horses, cattle and
sheep.
The immigrant is allowed free exercise of
religious worship. It is guaranteed to him
both by an ordinance of the Empire and a dis
pensation of the Pope. He is also entitled, on
entering the country, to a free duty permit
for all of his cattle and effects, and exeufption
from all taxation for one year, and from milita
ry copscriptiou for five years. He is allowed
to bring in his arms also, and, with his neigh
bors, to form a sedentary militia for their own
defense against robbers, who are daily becom
ing less bold.
But he may not bring in anything for sale,
exchange or barter, without payment of full
duties.
In the rural districts the Indians generally
are honest—indeed, in somC parts of the coun
try theft among them is unknown. They are a
gentle and docile race.
Simple in their habits, they are superslti- j
tious, entering zealously into all the festivities j
and ceremonies of the Church. The}’seem not
to care to earn more than a dollar or two a !
week; and when they have done this, whether 1
by two or more days of labor, they generally j
stop work arid frolic till the money is gone, j
when they are ready to earn by labor in the !
field the next instalment. The Sabbath is not
much observed by them, or the Mexicans gen
erally, except as a day of parade and pleasure.
As a rule their wages are paid weekly in cash,
and at the rate generally of from 25 to 50 cents
a day, the laborer finding himself. >
Silver Is the principal circulating medium ;
there are also gold and copper coins, but no
bank notes.
The implements of husbandry are generally
rude, and agriculture by no 'means in a high
state of improvement. Nevertheless, the In
dians and the mixed classes, of whom there are
about 7,000,000, are skillful laborers in their
way. This mode of husbandry is so much the
better for the display by the European or
American fanner of bis exquisite skill and of
the virtues of his improved implements, which
last he can bring in duty free.
It is not advisable at present for emigrants I
without money to come to Mexico, unless they *
come under the auspices of some friend who
can assist them, or under the care of some one
of the various companies for establishing colo
nies that have been recently incorporated.—
Some of these propose to bring the immigrants
into the country, to furnish them with land, to
establish them on their farms, to subsist them
for a while, and to receive a certain portion of
their crops for the loans advanced for these va
rious services.
Many who have some means and desire to
come in companies to Mexico and establish
themselves on some of these fine, but abandon
ed, haciendas, wish to know where these haci
endas are and their price. Answer. In almost
every part, and at any price, from a lew cents to
a few dollars the acre.
Os course, the prices named to me, though
moderate, arc the asking prices.
It is best for every such company of emigrants
to send some of their number ahead to select a
place, and bargain for it themselves. Bryant,
from Arkansas, has established a colony in Chi
huahua. Mitchell, of Missouri, another on the
Rio Verde, in the department of San Luis Po
tosi. Terry, of Texas, another in Jalisco. They
rent at first, with the privilege of purchase iu
the meantime at a stated price.
Then there is the tine colony of Carlotta, near
Cordova, where the lands were abandoned.
There was a number of hacienda® in that neigh
borhood that were indebted for more than they
were worth to the Church, and which, by the
Juarez Government, w'ere confiscated. These
have been ex-appropjiated by the Empire, and
applied to the colonization.
These lands are sold to immigrants at $1 per
acre in five eqnal annual instalments. Gener
als Price and Shelby, of Missouri; Governor
Harris, of Tennessee; Judge Perkins, 1 of Louis
iana; the Rev. Mr. Holman, of MifssouK, and a
number of others, have already established
themselves there. They are ail highly pleased
with their prospects. By the time the railway
through lb Vera Cruz is completed, aud the
last instalment falls due, they v.iiJ have, im
proved their farms, when the most staid amorc
them expect that these farms will be worth
.$lO, S2O, and even SSO the acre. A gentleman
from Lonisiana has been there for seven or
eight years. He established a coffee plantation
of 80 acres, which is now in good bearing, and
the crop from which last year was valued at
SIO,OOO.
The Cordova coffee sells in the New' York
market a* Java, and the tobacco equals that, of
Cuba, ■while the sugar lias fourteen per cent,
more of saccharine matter than that of Cuba.
It will cost at the rate of some five or six
dollars an acre to clear, enclose and bring these
lands under cultivation. Henye it will be so
much cheaper for those who have little money
to buy a hacienda with ground already'cleared,
fences made, and houses, or at least walls of
houses, already erected. All the lands of this
colony are already or will soon lie taken up.
Each married man there is allowed six hun
dred and forty acres, but it is now generally ad
mitted that one-fourth of that quantity will
probably be quite as much as one family will be
able to cultivate, it is so fertile aud wonderful
ly productive.
emigrants with a little capital, the
speedy filling up of this colony should not be
disheartening, under the idea that there are no
more good lands and. choice spots. There are
better lands than these both about Cordova and
Jalapa winch, present owners not being able to
work, are ready to sell on favorable terms. '
Agents have been established at various con-
Yemerit points to assist emigrants on their ar
rival in the country, by riving them informa-
faniiShihg them with the necessary
certificates and . passports to enable them to
pass the custom houses', to enjoy all the rights,
privileges and exemptions of the Emporor’s
decree.
It has not been as yet practicable to estab
lish 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. Orofessa, at Vera Cruz ;
John Perkins, formerly of. Louisiana, at Cor
dova ; John T. Lux, formerly of Louisiana, at
Monterey; Alonzo Ridley, of California, at

.The offer of Mr. Torres is most princely. The
land is situhted in the Huasteea county, on the
mountain border of the tierra caliente. It is
said to be healthy, and is admirably adapted to
the cultivation of coffee, sugar, cotton, tobacco,
with the whole list of intertropieal fruits and
productions. It is also a good stock country,
with an abundance ol timber. The Panuco.
river is navigable up to it, and boats are run
ning on tffitt stream. Provisions are plenty, but'
labor is said not to be very abundant; the usual
price being 37 1-2 cents per day and found.
Those who come from any of the Gulf ports,
should take shipping direct for Tampico, taking
care not to come later than the first or middle
of May, on account of the rainy season, which
commences in June. Emigrants are advised to
send out their pioneers to examine the land,
select their homesteads, and make ready for
their families to follow,
The Collector of the Port of Tampico is an
(horized to afford them all the facilities, privi
j leges and rights granted by the Emperor’s de

Singular Revelations—A Peep Beneath
Fashionable Petticoats-Artificial or False
Calves.
The hound Table of last week lias an article
I calculated to create a great sensation in fashon
| able circles as it lays bare what is well caleula
| ted to shock the modesty of most beholders.—
! It is on the subject of “Artificial or False
Calves,” manufactured by corset-makers, and
sold by corset-dealors. We present a specimen
of the Round Table's disclosures:
By calves wo mean just what the anatomists
mean when they speak of the lower extremities.
We do not know whose ingenuity devised them,
nor when they were first Introduced, nor indeed
their method of construction. But that they
were a popular article of apparel with young
ladies, and especially those who made dashing
displays on skates, we have abundant reason to
believe. In fact, several of the prominent cor
set-makers devoted all their energies to the fab
rication of these rare bits of fashionable anat
omy; agd, notwithstanding the very rapid'
production, the supply fell short of the demand.
Os course a good ileal of care was taken lest
any prying masculine eyes should penetrate the
mystery, and give publicity to the newly created
market; for this would have had a very injuri
ous effect upon the sale of the article, and the
tantalizing delusion would have been tar less
pleasing. But the fact of its existence was soon
and easily transmitted by a sort of maidenly
legerdemain, and all who were desirous of
making sensations by marvelous perfection of
form, knew very well where to supply their
sweet selves with patent calves.
This may be an announcement altogether un
welcome to those ambitious young gentlemen,
who, at street cornets, from club windows, and
in the bewildering, maze of thhe skating “car
nival,” have felt their hearts throb with the de
licious titillatipns of delight at spectacles which
kindly art has guile willingly placed at their
disposal. It can hardly fail to he a disappoint
ment to such to learn that for a very trifling
consideration they might have procured the
abounding source of their happiness, and that,
too, in a very portable and enduring shape, by
a visit to almost any ladies’ furnishing store.
And if discomfiture should chance to lead to
rage, it may‘be that an inquiring spirit woultY
discover remarkable devices for lcnd
ne still more alluring as concerns
divine.” Bui if they are wise
Mill.,),Wt i,;,,. n-vi iation,
devote themselves to studies
r >e-s deceptive and far mors profitable. If, how
ever, it is a satisfaction to them to continue the
investigation, horrible as the idea may seem we
should counsel an early visit to one of the very
numerous stores consecrated to the anatomy o‘s
fashion, which is nothing more nor less than
the sculpture of cords, wires and cotton.
It would doubtless he a matter of imprest to
the innocent public to know who the ladies may
be that patronize these entrancing little toys
which call forth the ogling glances of so many
admiring spectators. This is a secret which
only the corset dealers and the ladies’bureau
can reveal. We learn, however, that they Uav e
been very popular with tlie «a-_oulled “ upper
circles,” and it is their surprising success with
this class that has led to unusual mania for
skating during the past season. The ponds
have been thronged with young ladies as never
before; and not until this writing lias the tuvs
tery been revealed. In fact, the rage of the
season has been these adjustable calves, nor has
the demand fallen off very materially with the
passing away of the skating season. They are
worn by the most fashionable, if not the most
respectable, in the daily promenade and at the
weekly social gathering, and, in fact, almost
everywhere. Very nice young men stand be
hind counters, all day long, and sell them to
very nice young ladies in sizes to suit. So it
makes little difference how cadaverous or ill
shaped one may he, even nature is outdone by
the devices of art. What with a;i investment
or two in false hair, a false bust, plumpers in
the cheeks, and the now thoroughly introduced
patent calves, the most awkward in shape and
unattractive in general appearance may become
really “ charming.” Who does not say that the
world moves!
- Feakfto Outrage. —From the Memphis
i (Term.) Bulletin, of the 10th, we copy the fol
’ lowing account of an inhuman outrage, com
• raitteil, near Memphis, on the persons of a
' white lady and her infant by negroes:
' Between nine and ten o’clock yesterday
morning a most fiendish and horrible outrage
1 | was perpetrated on the family of Mr. Paine,
j who resides about two and a half miles out on
; i the new Raleigh road. It appears that Mr.
| Paine left his home early in the morning to
| ! endeavor to procure some laborers to work on
■ . his place, and left his wife and two small chil
dren, one four months and the other between
‘ | two and three years of age, alone in the house
' with the exception of tiie negro girl who was
1 i sick. Shortly after his departure two negro
‘| ruffians entered the house and demanded of
1 j Mrs. Paine her money and valuables. Being
■ j frightened by the peremptory manner in which
I the demand was made, she attempted to rush
1 from the room when they closed the door to
1 | prevent her escape. One of the brutes then
| knocked the infant from her arms and struck
; | her to the floor, jumped upou her, and left her
j bleeding and senseless. In tho meantime the
I other ruffian was engaged in ransacking the
: premises for what valuables lie could find • the

; A Rich Ma’n who was Not Ashamed of
I {‘ Is hIRAVDFATHEK’s BUSINESS.— There is in
New York a gentleman of ample fortune,
'vhieh he received by inheritance, and who has
never inflicted upon himself an occupation ex-
I eept that of sensibly spending and enjoyino
his income. Notwithstanding this he does no"?
ignore ids plebian origin or affect aristocratic
notions, as his recent selection of a coat-of
arms for a new carriage, at the urgent request
"Ibis wife, will show. Thu lady, thinking the
old.carriage unfashionable, got the ready con
sent of her husband for a new one, and was
anxious thrft the “family” coat-of-nrms should
j be emblazoned upon its panels, This the hus
-1 band consented to, promisingto sketch them out
forthc painter when, tho vehicle was completed
At tlvit time the lady promptly presented
herself for his sketch of the family arms.
Taking a pen, the millionaire drew something
resembling a small mound; by it was stuck a
manure fork, and upou the fork was perched
chanticleer rampant.
“Why, what is this?”asked madam in nmaze
mont,.
“This,” 6aid the man of money, “is our fami
ly coat-of-arms. My grandfather made his
money carting manure in Brooklyn, and invest
ed it in real estate in New York, Now listen
to the’explanation of the arms. This mound
and fork represent my grandfather’s occupa
tion ; the cock perched upon the top of the fork
represents myself, who have done nothing but
flap my wings and crow on that dunghill ever
since.”
It is almost unnecessary to state that this de
cidedly original coat-of-arms was never printed
upon the millionaire’s carriage, which has a
plain pannel to this date.

f Diseases. Liver Complaints, and Heart Diseases. Try
AYER’S SARSAPARILLA, and sec for yourself the
surprising activity with which it elfcanses the blood
and cures these disorders.
During late years the public have been misled by
large bottles, protending to give a quart of Extract of
Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of these have been
frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if
any, Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties
whatever. Hence, bitter disappointment has followed
l the use of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which
1 Hood the market, until the name itself lias become
i synonymous with imposition and client. Still wc call
this compound “ Sarsaparilla,” and intend to supply
such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load
of obloquy which rests upon it. We think we have
ground for believing it lias virtues which are irresista
ble by the ordinary run of Die diseases it is intended to
cure. We can only assure the sick, that we offer them
th- est alterative which wo know how to produce,
; and we have reason to believe, it is by far the most
' effectual purifier of the blood yet discovered by any
1 bodv.
AYER’S CHERRY PECTORAL is so universally
known to surpass every other remedy for the cure of
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Croup, Bron
chitis, Incipient Consumption, and for the relief of Con
sumptive Patients in advanced stages of the disease,
that it is useless here to recount the evidence of its
virtues. The world knows them.
