ruo.u jiu.ymo. 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.
