Cowoapondcac* Telegraph and Mewougor,]
Mexico, April 11, 1875.
LEAVING VEKA CBl’Z.
Ono i\ it. found all aboard the cur,
made for and used by the Emperor
Maximilliau, and out we went through
one of tho gates of the dty, into the
Htlburbs filled with the most wretched
abodes of native Mexicans imagina
ble. These hovels appeared mote lit
for lairs of wild boasts than habita
tions of human beings.
Out of this, we entered the Mexican
chapnral—a growth quite familiar to
file old veterans of the Mexican army.
This is a dose, dense, gnarled, inter
locked. impenetrable growth, some
ten or twelve feet high, and can only
l)e pern‘trail'd so far as vou cut your
way. Emerging from tills, we enter
ed a barren, undulating country,
covered in a great measure with
stones and scoria of volcanic origin
miserably poor, dry and worthless.
The road lavs a moderate gradient,
and the country visibly changing for
the better.
Arrive at Camuron, forty miles, in
good time, and are here met by Uni
ted States Minister John tV. Foster
and Luis (K Bossero, an agent of lhe
Mexican goverment. These intelli
gent accessions to our party aided
much to while away the monotony of
travel by their general conversation,
pointing out and explaining localities
and places of interest, and giving val
uable information regarding the
country, crops, resources, etc.
Fifty-three miles bring us to
ATOYAC I‘VSS.
It is a narrow gorge of surpassing
beauty, through which pass the old
national road and tho railroad. On
our left is an immense mountain peak
rising almost perpendieulnr-theroad
hugging closely the gorge on the
right, while deep in the ravine below
runs a beautiful clour stream, leaping
over a frightful cascade then foaming
and dashing through its narrow om
battlements out into the plains below.
The uatioiuil road passes under the
railroad, following the mountain side
a short distance, thence turning to
the left, crosses the eliasm ley an im
mense arched stone bridge. This
being a strong place of defence, is
generally the ilrst point of resistance
made by the Mexican army against
an invading force, the magnitleent
(bridge being sacrificed in every con
test .
Coming out of this pass on a heavy
grade we approached the beautiful
eOFFKi: PLANTATIONS.
Here is where the American colony.
General I’riee and others, settled im
mediately after t lie war. Theculony
has broken up and left. The cause
of their failure, to the uninitiated,
would be difficult- of solution ; for bet
ter lands, more liberal productiveness
and fascinating climate would be
hard to combine in any one locality.
We are now passing through ihe
lino Cordoba coffee estates. The
lands are very rich, lie well and are
passably well cultivated. Coffee cul
ture is profitable, easily managed, re
quiring no great skill, the greatest
labor and care being required in pick
ing ami preparing the berry. The
coffee raised here is of u superior
quality, aud in the judgment of con
noisseurs, preferable to the best old
■lava.
Pressing onward up lieav, grades,
we reach the Fortiii~iation, and at ts
r. >t. hauled up for tho night at
OBIZ ABA.
The city lies to the right of the road
and makes some pretentions to man
ufacturing and mechanical enter
prise; for we found running, large
limiting mills, a respectable cotton
factory, ami the maentno shops of the
railroad, besides several other small
mechanical industries. Tho < ity is
nestled at the foot of the Orizaba
range which lies on the west, termi
nating on the east at the pass, by a
bold, barren peak. On this peak was
stationed a Mexican force when the
French advanced and it became nec
essary to dislodge it before they could
proceed.
For four long weeks tho French
forces worked day and night, cutting
into th<‘almost perpendicular moun
tain side a road from base to summit.
continually under fire from the Mex
icans. At an angle of this cut near
the foot of the mountain is erected an
immense white cross, and on the
summit a black one. The one at the
starting point denoting high Imp '
and determination, and that at the
terminus immense sorrow and death,
mingled with their final triumph.
We found acceptable quarters al t he
Diligence Hotel, andpus-ahh- provis
ions for the inner wants. Instinct,
however, prompted orders t<i be given
for breakfast at the restaurant adjoin
ing tite depot, it was a sensible fore
thought and a decided improvement
on the fure of the proceeding night.
We are now K 2 miles from Vera
Cruz,and at un elevation of -tout feet.
Here the ascent commenced in earn
est, and to meet its requirements we
tind our ear attached to a 75-ton
doubie-ender with four cylinders and
twelve driving wheels- a monster
I'AIIU.Ei; ENGINE.
To give a faint idea, of the hoarded
pressure on the various parts of the
boilers and cylinders of these ma
chines when in full service, I will say
it exceeds thirty millions of pound-.
At 7A. m. arc off winding through
the pass-up grades, much of wtii ll
are four per cent, until we enter
MALTJUTA VALLEY,
which is like passing into the open
end of a big horseshoe. At best .sight
there appears onlv one way of exit
that is to take tho branch track. The
mountains rise in towering height
around. Wo proceed by making u
detour to the right, striking the moun
tain's base, clambering into its le
and tunnelling a .-harp spur, then
crossing a gorge on the best of iron
bridges and circling to the right and
left, running at every point of the
compass, on curves of ;I2> feet radius,
ami grades of over2ll feet per mile,
and t hen repeating in rapid Mice
sion tho tunnels, bridges, curves, etc.
A large part of tile road is cut into t lie
•almost perpendicular mountain side.
TIIF. ROAD
Is as secure as the best of material and
human ingenuity can make it heavy
steel rails, ati extra guard rail at all
short curves-—the rails accurately
curved, heavy iron rods, at, short dis
tances, confine the road bod from
spreading, the outer rail elevated to
the highest practicable point, and a
faithful watchman every three hun
dred yards.
At eight miles w<* halt for water,
and find ourselves
1,800 EEET ABOVE TIIF. VALLEY
and within a rifle shot of Maltrata
depot.
To on*'wanting confidence in the
•surroundings the position looks fear
ful; for an accident that would pre
cipitate the train from the track
would bring sure destruction to every
body and everything.
: “Col. Scott, how floes this compare
with the crossing of the Sierra Neva
da?” “The scenery, the difficulties,
Pnd the work on the Sierra Nevada
hre child's plav, and tame, compared
with this” replied the man, who of
ph others is best qualified to judge,
f ”C proceed—curving and rising.
All conversation ceases ; for the mind
is so absorbed in taking in these
magnificent surroundings -crossing
fearful chasms—sliding through or
under shelving rocks -overhanging
precipices—looking down which
i makes tho strong shudder, until dual
'l.v turning to the right., through u
narrow chasm, we emerge upon tho
| great Mexican plateau, at eight
t housand feet elevation, alighting at
BOCIIA DEL MONTE,
I (the mouth of the mountain). My
mechanical enthusiasm prompted tue
J to caress the now docile monster that
lias so majestically performed such a
Herculean task.
We arc no'V 1071 miles from Vera
: Cruz and ina from the City of Mexico.
A short delay and we proceed, drawn
, by an ordinary four driving-wheeled
I engine. Tho
uni'.AT ALTiTrm:
i is sensibly felt, having been too sud-
I den for tlio system to adapt itself to
I I lie change. The grades being now
1 moderate, fair time is made, mid in
1 due time we haul up at Apizaeo to
! dinner. A telegraphic order from
| Orzsaba in tho morning gave them
j time to make a royal spread.
Dr. Shelton, Consul at Mexico,
I joined us here. Tho party was in the
i best possible condition to enjoy a
; feast, which in its fullest sense was
i set before us. Here wo were intro
duced into the mysterious fusetna
■ tions of the Moxienii.
NATIONAL DRINK H’LJl’I..
it was reported us of a superior
quality. Each one’s glass was filled
and the suggestion given that all pre
pare to drink. I ihink less than a
gill satisiiod all tho raw recruits, and
ns time was too precious to devote to
j cultivating an appetite for tHo vile
drink, it was unanimously set aside,
i It is of a pale white color, of sharp
j acrid taste, ropy and repulsive.
This table or plateau is a magnifi
-1 cent domain, most of tho land of a
! superior quality -black, rich, and
very productive. But tho tillage is
slovenly; agricultural implements
imperfect', elumscy, and of obsolete
pattern and contrivance. They en
cumber aud depress production are
wasteful and extravagantly uneco
nomical. Immense tields of wheat
are harvested with the hook and the
grain trod out by u swarm of dimin
utive donkeys. With a high, system
atic, energetic improved form of ag
riculture, this valley would support
an empire.
Wo are now running into the heart
of tlie Great Pulque District. The
plant is a species of cactus called
Mnijiiii'i. and is the veritable century
plant. The plants are set nut about
2D feet apart eaeli way, aud come to
perfection the third year. Small
plants are sot between these rows the
second year to make the crop contin
uous. It attains a diameter and
height of some six or eight feet, and
brings forth in its centre a head or
bulb nearly as large as a peek meas
.m e. At a certain stage of its growth
I this head is imeappod, and the milky
| secretions dipped out. This process
! is daily repeated until ihe plant be
' comes exhausted, ltis said the value
of each plant is about twenty dollars.
' Tho leaves are used for cordage and
matting.
If we entertained an imeontrulable
I disgust for tile drink, as presented
1 with pleasant surroundings, it was
j fearfully intensilied when mopping
!at Apanif sixty mile- from Mexico,
and the shipping centre of the city’s
daily supply, where it was prepared
\ ready for the ears aud transportation.
Here, piled upon long platforms
was at least PH) tons -less t han one
, half the quantity in casks the re
mainder in hog and sheep skins.
The legs were cut off at about the
knees and tied with strong twine, and
the front and rear embrasures se
cured by the same method. The
liquid, occasionally oozing through
sonic insecure fastening kept the
j whole in a slimy, repugnantly lilt tiy
I condition which added to its jell x -
I like tremulous moving, and paunchy
! appearance, made a spectacle ludi
i crons ami repulsive in t ho extreme.
We are now on the border of the
MEXICAN VALLEY
proper, and on a very light down
grade approaching tho city. Much
of the land is well cultivated and till
being callable of high productive
ness. Objects of curiosity and inter
est, puss in a panoramic view rapidly
before us. When near the waters of
Lake Tezcuco, two immense pyra
midieal mounds about a half mile
distant are pointed oulas tile sun and
moon of Aztec worship. It is an un
deniable fact that we are in the land
and home of the ancient Aztecs. The
imagination is in a whirl. The Aztec
reign and splendor ( lories' ehivalric
march and conquest Ihe once proud
and haughty empire fails at the feet
of tho conqueror, tile immense sacri
-11 ce of life beauty and booty—all
pass in rapid review. The suburban
cottages, churches and shrines flit
rapidly by us, and at 4 r. M. w- are in
tho city of Mexico. G. A. N.
