THE DAILT QQNBTITtmOSALIBT. , PUBLISHED BY ] STOCKTON <& CO. i ■ ■£——•* ' ~=~ , AUGUSTA, OA. ■■ r ,~'S —-,77~~T , ! WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 14,1866. 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. » ■■ i" 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. ■ i In his interesting work, “Grant and His Cam- , paigns,” Professor Coopee settles the question ( as to the Lieutenant General’s correct name.— 1 In a note, he says: “ His father tells us that his * name was Hiram Ulysses, but that his cadet i warrant was made out for Ulysses Sidney ; that he accepted the name while at West Point, J only changing it to Ulysses Simpson, honor t of his mother, when he graduated.” > c 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 Mazatlan; Captain of Port of Tampico, at Tam pico ; Captain of Port of San Bias, at San Bias ; Captain of Port of Matamoras, at Matamoras ; M, Ramon de la Vega, President de la Junta de los Mejores de Colina, at Manzanillo. I am about to embark for England, expecting to return to this beautiful lnnd accompanied by my family. The office is left in charge of my sou, R. L. Maury, who, during my absence, will attend to the business of the office. He Is earn est in the cause, and has now in hand a guide book for immigrants, which will soon be ready lor the.press. The rainy season commences in June and ends in October. Immigrants should not come during tliAt time. Yours, truly, M. F. Maury, Imperial Commissioner, HO! FOR MEXICO. NOTICE TO EMIGRANTS—THE “TORRES COLONY.” The Imperial Commissioner of Colonization is hereby authorizedjo dispose, of 25 (twenty five) square leagues of land (108,459 acres) on my hacienda of Limou, situated on the Panuoa river, in the Department of Tainaulipas; giving gratis every alternate section (040 acres) to a man With a family, and 320 acres to an unmar ried man, with a'pre-emption right in each case to as much more at $2 the acre. I will give, also gratis, land for a town, a6 well as for a road, i 6 yards wide, traversing the entire Colony from North to South. 1 (Signed) J. O. Torres. Mexico, February 9th, 1866. Office Col’zation,l3 San Juan ijeLetran, ) Mexico, February 10th, 1860. ] .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 cree. M. F. Maury, Imperial Commissioner. Colonization Office, Mexico. 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 1 ; older child was also brutally kicked and knock. od down. The negro girl hearing the ( lia> t irb ’ ; ance rushed in and. seeing her mistress lvine apparently dead upon fpe flodr in a gore of | blood, went screaming from the house, where ; | upon (he ruffians fled. Dr. Jones was called in ’ nr »cl found the lady very severely injured her ; j face completely mangled by the heels of the miscreants, and her body fearfully bruised 1 j Although her condition is critical and execed j ingly dangerous, it is hoped that she will reeov j cr. The infant is also very baillv injured Un I to the present there lias becu lio trace disci ered that would lead to the detection of the j murderous wretches, notwithstanding A-crv effort has becu made tQ discover the coursi j they have taken. course I ■ ; 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.

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.
