I A. - i 'V " "N. - OS) l hi ' h PRICE ONE CENT. CHANCES FOR FREE WHITE LABOR LETTER FROM 8IGNOR ALVARADO. New Yons, Feb. 7, 1861. 1o the Editors of the N. Y. Evening Pott: I hare perused with great satisfaction the letter of the Hon. E. G. Bquier, in the Evening Post of Monday, addressed to Senator Anthony, on the subject of cotton cultivation in Central America, and it has suggested to me a few ideas which may not be without interest, at this time, to the American public. I. Although Mr. Squlcr has a very exact knowledge of the production of cotton in Cen tral America, yet he has not stated the case as strongly as the facts warrant. In Honduras, and particularly in the valleys of the large rivers, the cotton plant flourishes with a luxu riance entitling it, after a growth of two or three years, to the designation of a tree, producing two crops a year, of a minimum each otjive pounds, and a maximum of from ten to twelve pounds. A plantation will last from eight to nine years, without renewal ; andfurthermore, as the plant is one on which animals do not feed, as on maize, ic. it reauires little protec tion, and may be cultivated at a minimum of cost and trouble in too way oi enclosures, in fact, once started, a cotton plantation over comes and kills all other vegetation. I have loue reflected on this branch of in dustry and export in Honduras, and have sent considerable quantities of cotton to Europe, where it has been examined and tested in Manchester, Glasgow. Rouen, and St Paul, and also to New York and Boston. The re ports from all these points have beeu very nearly the same, and in every respect all that could be desired. In Manchester it was re ported nine pence, or eighteen cents, per pound, and in Boston, according to the report of Mr. J. Raye, seventeen cents per pound. But, unfortunately, our Central American roads do not admit of the transportation of so bulky an article ; and in order to its cultivation with profit, it will be necessary to select plan tations accessible to commerce, on the sea coast or in the valleys of navigable rivers, and if such places shall be far from the large towns or more populous districts of country, capable of supplying the requisite labor, it is evident that the enterprise of producing this staple must be supported by adequate capital, and by labor introduced from abroad, or attracted by the assurance of good and steady pay. 1 roina me moment uas arnveu lur iryiuK the experiment of cotton cultivation in Central America, with freo labor; and if the matter were taken in hand here by a company with a sufficient capital to commence work on a proper scale, I am entirely certain that the results would bo equally satisfactory and brilliant. 2. But it is not alone as regards cotton that Honduras offers great attractions. The whole Atlantic declivity abounds in precious woods, the value of which will more than cover the cost of clearing the lands designed for cultiva tion. On the lands which I have specially re ferred to, the supply of precious woods is very large, and there is also a great number of ule or .India rubber trees, which in themselves would furnish no inconsiderable source of rev enue. These are inducements extra, in con Bidering the value of the country for cotton supply. 3. After tho plantations of cotton are once established, they require no caro except twico a year, at the periods lor gathering the crops. The remaining time would conse quently befrco for other operations, such as the cultivation of sugar. In general tho indige nous cane, called " toita," attains a height of three yards ; the Jamaica variety from ten to ten and a half yards. Neither requires irriga tion, nor do they require replanting oftener than once in from twelve to fourteen years. Va rious considerable rivers that penetrate the country offer facilities for the introduction of the requisite machinery connected with this cul ture. 4. As regards coffee, I hardly know what to say, beyond that there are thousands of places where it can be produced as well as in Costa Rica, and the coffee of that country, it is well known, is second to none produced on this con tinent. I can bear witness to the fact that it often produces as high as twenty to thirty pounds to each tree. 5. Cocoa is indigenous on tho lands to which I havo referred, and grows wild in the forests which cover the greater part of tho plains of Quia. Several small plantations havo been started there, which ut the end of three years have given an average return of five dollars per tree, at the prices of cocoa in the country itself. C. Tobacco equal in b'izo and excellence with that of Cuba is also produced here. Its only inferioritv results from want of caro in cultiva tion. This difficulty could easily be remedied. Nevertheless, the tobacco of Santa Rosa, better known throughout Central America and parts of Mexico as that of" Copan," has a high rep utation for excellence. Considerable quauti ties have beeu exported to Cuba, and there manufactured into genuino Huyanas, A con signment, made by mysolf, to France, although damaged by the voyage, brought ISC francs the hundred pounds. You have here a hurried resume of the avail able products of this region. I could enter more largely into statistics, but my purpose is only to furnish hints for reflection, and to direct attention more particularly to the valuable sug gestions thrown out bv Mr. Sauier. If. in view of present or future complications in the South, the Government of the United States would en courage enterprise in the direction of Central America, whether in the way of emigration or by favorable commercial discriminations, I am sure the results would astonish the commercial and industrial public of this country. In regard to tho allegation that white men cannot labor in the regions I have indicated, I have only to say that I have myself established plantations of coffee and cocoa in the plain of (jula, which is less salubrious than most parts of the country, and that they are worked by emigrants from France, who labor as efficiently as in their own country, and with no greater inconvenience from climate or other causes. The experience of the filibusters proves little as regards the salubrity of tho country. They suffered greatly, it is true, from the obvious causes of exposure, harassment, scanty and bad provisions, and dissipation. Their fatigues were infinitely greater than any which the ag riculturist would lie called on to enduro. And vet these filibusters, epidemics aside, got on as well as any equal number of men, under simi lar conditions, in any part of the world. But admitting that it would not be prudent to commence operations with foreigners, yet there need be no deficiency of laborers, especial ly now, when tho cutting of mahogany is near ly suspended. The Caribs and other laborers of the North Coast are almost entirely without work, and would not fail to flock to auy point where sure and good pay could be obtained. Should the English company, which has now the Honduras railway in hand, go on with that work ; or should they adopt the plan of build ing a preliminary tram road, which they have under consideration in either case the facts connected with cotton and sugar culture in Central America will bo invested with still greater importance. But even without that work, the country offers extended facilities and unlimited resources to the enterprise, intelli gence, and capital of the Northern States, and ample means of supplying all deficiencies in tropical staples, which may result from any po litical complication that may arise. Very truly, Leok AltabIdo. IMMIGRATION. The State Department has issued its formal statement in regard to the number, sex, age, and occupation of passengers arriving in the United States by sea from foreign countries during the year ending December 31, I860. The arrivals in 1860 were 179,469; of those, 108,550 were males, and 70,833 females ; sex not stated, 86. The number of deaths on the voyage was 222. Of the whole number of pas sengers, 26,051 were natives of the United States, 13,001 of England, 48,637 of Ireland, 60,746 of Germany, 3,745 of Prussia, 6,467 of China, 1,384 of the West Indies. Greece and Malta sent 1 each. New Zealand sent 2. Of the passengers, 173,491 stated they in tended to reside in tho United States, 3,018 said nothing about it; 1,519 wcro bound to British America, 898 to Great Britain. Of their occupations, 11,207 wero merchants, 13,033 mechanics, 27,742 farmers, 31,268 labor ers, 116 lawyers, 221 physicians, 108 musicians, 27 actors, and 93,0U0 did not state their occu pation. The report concludes with a statement of the number of passengers arriving in the United States by sea from foreign countries from Sep tember 30, 1843, to December 31, 1860. The whole number arriving within that period is 4,386,441, of whom probably moro than four millions were aliens.

It Proposes to Flow to the Qulf by a New Channel. It has for some years been evident; that by a sure and ranid Drocess the connection hetween Red river and the Mississippi is being out off. The effect of the complete consummation of this process, now going on with ex raordinary and alarming rapidity, will bo to divert Red river into the Atcnafalaya, which affords a channel for its waters, and compels it to flow to the Gulf at Berwick's Bay. Thus the whalaof the immense and productive region lying in the valley of the Ied river will suffer the embar rassment of being shut off from communication with its natural market ; while New Orleans will lose the rich trade which the river country annually pours into her lap. These contingen cies are not remote. They will surely happen within a few years, if something be not done to obviate them. For some years past the con nection between Red river and the Mississippi has been growing more and more precarious, till, in low water, it is almost entirely lost. In the high water season the volume of water which pours down the Atchafalaya exceeds the flow of Red river, as the Mississippi actually backs np through Old river, so that the current sets from instead of into the main stream, r-M O.
