DIRECTIONS TO EMIGRANTS,
Ac, Ac, Ac.
We have received from a friend in Mexico,
the copy of the following deeply interesting
letter from Lt, M. F. Maury to a gentleman
in this country. The details of the manner
of proceeding to obtain homes in that coun
try, and 'the minute directions to persons de-
airing to emigrate thither will prove accept'
able. Those perrons who have gone from
this and settled in that country, are over
run with letters of inquiry, all of which they
find it impossible to answer. This letter
from Lt. Maury will satisfy the great de-
mind fcr information upon the subject in this
section.
ft fuck Colonization-
Sis Jcin'dk Lhtkbak, Mexico,
:iro. -
, . . . t.eoruary ill), ljititt.
My Dkar Sin : I have received your let
ter. enmiirimr like manv others about Mex
ico, with the view of making it their home.
You know its ceocranhical features, and the
fame of its mineral wealth. Its soil is of un
surpassed fertility, and its climate, after you
begin to ascend the table lands, is as delight
ful and healthy as the heart of man can de
sire.
The Emperor is rulinjr wisely and mildly,
Their Majesties are beloved by the Imperi
alists and respected bv all. lliey move as
freely amouc the people as the President of
tho United States ever did in days of yore,
The Empire is continually Raining ground,
Enterprise is abroad many works of in
ternal improvement are already under way,
and about to be commenced. Capital is
leaving its hiding plaw, 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 failure, have
laid down their arms and are giving in their
adhesion. Property and life are daily be
coming more secure. As an illustration the
doors of the house in which I live are with
out locks ; nor do I ever take care even to
shut any of them before I go to bed. True
there is a porlcro below, but the building is
an old convent inhabited and frequented by
hundreds of people who are not barred from
each other by any fastenings. The impres
sions abroad about .Mexico are very errone-
us. With regard to the inquiries in behalf
of our friends who desire to emio to tuts
lovely land, I have to say:
They can find desirable locations in any
climate they please, and suitable lor the cul
tivation of anv staple they prefer, or the
raisiuir of any kind of stock.
As to the must profitable branch of agri
cultural industry, that varies with tho local
ity; 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,
and canals, internal transportatin is tedious
and expensive, and exportation difficult.
Hence in one part of the Empire, the specta
cle has not been nnfrequcntly presented, of
brcadstuns at famine prices, while in a
neighboring Department they were wast
iiiK for want of consumers. Tho most
desirable location therefore for immigrants
who arc "well to do," (and this is the
class that must lead the way) arc on what
may be called the intertropical belt of Mex
ico, within which Cordova and Jalapa are
situated. I Ins is a sort ot steppe or slope
which rises from the low lands of the coast
to tho various climates, which arc to be
found in all intertropical latitudes, at the
height of from 2,000 to -1,000 feet above the
jsea. U limn tins range tnc climates arc
those of perpetual Himmcr thev are healthy
and delightful.
Ihcsc steppes encircle the J'.mpire on the
cast, south, and west. Thev overlook the
vallcv of the CoaUacoalcos and the Gulf of
of Mexico on one side, and the Pacific
Ocean on the other, nnd abound in garden
spots as beautiful as P.dcn itself, and as sin
fill 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 increase of three or four
hundred fold upon the seed sown.
In the course of the present year a rail
way is to be completed from each of these
points to Vera Gmr, winch will bring them
fairly within the domains of foreign com
merce. (Joni, cotton, coiiee, sugar and to
bacco all do well here, but as a rule. I con
sider co flee, cotton, and tobacco the most
profitable staples of cultivation, because
they can best bear transportation and stand
competition in foreign markets, formerly,
and before the country began to be tossed
and vexed by revolution, lands in the neigh
borhood of these two cities were valued at
from $75 to $100 per acre.
Many of these splendid Haciendas, some
of them large enough to accommodate with
cleirant farms ten times fifty families, were
broken up during tho revolutions, and their
owners compelled to seek safety elsewhere.
mi , .. . ..
incy nave iauen into ruin and decay
turough absenteeism, and now that order is
restored, the Empire gaining ground and
internal improvements encouraged by the
wise policy of the Emperor, these lands arc
coming into demand.
But present owners find themselves too
poor to repair and bring them under culti
vation again. They are for sale, and may
bo bought at from $2 to' $3 per acre.
Thche abandoned Haciendas (and they
arc to be found in all parts of the Empire)
arc the places for your thrifty American farm
ers to establish themselves. Let them, there
fore, send out their head mcntoselecta place
for the whole settlement, to bo followed
immediately by their young men to sow,
build and repair, and make ready for the
old men, the women, and the children, and
others to follow by the time the lands arc
ready.
They will find it, at first, best to establish
themselves in villages as well for mutual
convenience, as for protection against tho
bands of lawless marauders who are ever
ready to pounce upon the helpless 'farmer.
Immigrants should bring with them such
mechanics as arc required to satisfy their
own wants and necessities.
Tell those who come, to count upon all
the assistance, every facility, and the lcst
information that it is in my power to afibrd,
or within the province of this office to givt
In the Northern departments the vine
flourishes well and the wine is excellent.
On the slopes next tho sea cochineal and
i.Tdigo are cultivated, drugs, gums, and
spices collected.
Tho most profitable stock raising, are
mules, horses and goats. There is room for
profitable imjrovcment 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 dispensation of the Pope. He is
also entitled on entering the coun
try, to a free duly iermit, for all of his
cattle and eflecU and exemption from all
taxation for one year, and from military
conscription for five years. He is allow ed
to bring in his arms also, and with his
neighbors to form or sedentary, militia, for
heir own defense apainit robbers who arc
daily becoming less bold. But he mar not
bring in anything for sale, exchange, or
barter, witlnut the jiayment of full duties.
In the rural districts, the Indians gen
erally ari honest; indeed in some parts of
the country, theftj among them is unknown.
They are a gentle and docik race. Simple
in their habits, they are superstitious, enter
ing zealously into all the festivities and
ceifmonies of the church.
They seem not to care to cam more than
a dollar or two a week, and when thev have
done this, whether by two or three davs of
labor, they generally stop work and frolic
till the money is gone, when they are
ready to earn by labor in the field the next
instalment. The sabUlh is not much ob
served by them, or the Mexican generally,
except as a day of parade and pleasure. As
DAILY
a rule their wages are paid weekly in cash,
and at the rate, generally, of from twenty
five to fifty cents a day, the laborer finding
himsel
Silver is the principal circulating me
dium ; there are a,lso gold and copper coins,
but no bank notes.
The implements of husbandry are gener
ally rnde, and agriculture is by no means in
a high state of improvement. Nevertheless,
the Indian and the mixed classes, of whom
there are about iteven millions, are skilful
laborers in their way. This mode of hus
bandry is so much the better for the display
by the European or American farmer, of his
exquisite skill and of the virtues of his im
proved implements, which last lie can bring
in duty free.
It is not advisable, at present, for immi
grants 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 varipus companies
for establishing colonies tliat have been re
cently 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 awhile, and
to receive a certain portion of their crops for
the loans advanced for these various services.
Many( who have some means, and desireto
come in companies to Mexico, and establish
themselves on some of these line but aban
doned haciendas, wish to know where these
haciendas are, and their price, -dns; In
almost every part, and at any price from a
few cents to a lew dollars per acre.
Of course, the prices named to me, though
moderate, arc the asking prices. It is best
for every such company of immigrants to
send some of their number ahead to select a
place, and bargain for it themselves. Bryant,
from Arkansas, has established a colony in
Chihuahua : Mitchell, of Missouri, another
on the Rio Verde, in the department of ,San
Louis Potosi ; Terry, of Texxs, another in
Jalisco. They, rent at first, with the priv
elege of purchase in the meantime at a stated
price.
Then there is the line colony of Carlotta.
near Cordova, where the lands were abandon
ed. There was a number of haciendas in that
neighborhood that Were indebted for more
than they were worth to the "church, nd
which by the Juarez Government were con
fiscated. These have been cxappropriated by the
Empire, and annlied to colonization. These
lands are sold to ingnigrants at one dollar
per acre m live equal annual instalments.
Generals Price and Shelby, of Missouri ;
Governor Harris, of Tennessee ; Judge Per
kins, of Louisiana; Eev. Mr. Holnian, of
Missouri, and a number of others, have al
ready established themselves there. Thev
arc all highly pleased with their prospects.
JJy the time the railway through to Vera
Cruz is completed, and the lxst instalment
falls due, they will have improved their
farms, when the most staid among them ex
pect that their farms will be worth ten,
j I mm
twenty, anu even uity dollars per acre.
iV gentleman lrom .Louisiana has been
there for seven or eight years. He estab
lished a coffee plantation of eighty acres,
which is now in good bearing, and the crops
from which last year , were valued at
$10,000.
The Cordova coffee sells in the New York
market as Java, and the tobacco equals that
of Cuba, while the sugar has fourteen per
cent, more of saccharine matter than that of
Cuba. It will cost at the rate of some five
or six dollars the acre to clear, enclose and
bring these landa under cultivation. Hence
it will be so much cheaper for those who
have a little money, to buy a hacienda, with
ground already cleared, fences made, and
houses, or at least,-walls of houses, already
erected. All the lar.ds of this colony are
already, or soon will be, taken up. Eaeh
married man there is allowed 040 acres, but
it is now generally admitted that one-fourth
of that quantity will probably be quite as
much as one family will be able to cultivate,
it is so fertile and wonderfully productive. But
to imigrantswith a little capital, the speedy
filling up of this colony should not be dis
heartening, under the idea that there are no
more good lands and choice spots. There are
better lands than these both about Cordova
and Jalapa, which the present owners, not
being able to work, are ready to sell on
favorable terms. Agents have been estab
lished at various convenient paints to assist
immigrants on their arrival in the country.
by giving them information and furnishing
them with the necessary certificates
and passports to enable thein to pass the
custom houses, and to enjoy all
the rinhts privileges and exemptions
o the Emperors Decree. It has not been as
ye t practicable to establish agencies on the
Jiio Grande, but as soon as it may be, one
will be stationed at PresidioTJel Norte. At
present the following agencies have been es
tablished, viz:
i.. P. Oropesa, at Vera Cruz.
Jno. Perkins, formerly of Louisiana, at
Cordova.
Jno. T. Lux, formerly of Louisiana, at

Mr. Ramon de la Vega, Presidente de la

I am about to embark for England, ex
pecting to return to this beautiful land ac
companied by my family. The office is left
in charge of my son, R. S. Maury, who dur
ing my absence will attend to the business
of the office. He is earnest in the cause and
has now in hand a gnide-bo6k for immi
grants, which will ,smMUc ready for the
press. The rainy seasipBmmcnces in June
and ends in October"," "Immigrants should
not come during that time.
Ihere are many inquiries made also, in
regard to religious liberty in Mexico. Per-
lect lreedom of worship is guaranteed by the
Organic law of the Empire and sanctioned
by tho Pope.
1 have just returned lrom the 1'alace,
where I had a long and interesting interview
with the Emperor. I read him your ques
tions: we discussed them seriatim; and he
gave his answers to tnem, one by one. l
repeat your questions and give his answers :
1st. "Will protcstant clergymen be tol
erated and permitted to enjoy their religions
opinions and worship, in these colonics
without molestation "
"Yes, and encouraged."
2d. "Can a support be provided for such
clergymen ?"
" es, as soon as I get my finances in a
better condition."
3d. "Will they be sustained in the cstah-
lishmentof protcstant schools and colleges?"
"ICS."
4th. "Would a protcstant bishop be al
lowed among them ?"
ocnai n i y.'
w. fill,,! S, . , .,
otn. "mu me uovernment, uo anytning
towards the support of the schools and col
leges?" "Yes."
6th. "Could endowments of land, or oth
erwise, now be made for their support ?"
" Ye, by lands and voluntary contribu
tions noic and money from the Government
afterward."
th. Would itbepossihle, for thepresent, to
engraft on the University of Mexico a de
partment in which the studies, lectures, and
instruction in general should be in the Eiq-
hsh language?
I he question suggests a capital idea:
I will converse further with utwn that
point. I desire to ace communities of differ
ent religious persuasions .established in the
country, and to give encouragement to all,
for they act and react upon each other with
wholesome effect."
I have quoted as nearlv, as, after the in
terval of an hour, I can remember, the
words used by this remarkably clear-headed

There is a clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Hol-

He is the only preacher, except the Rev.

In the city of Mexico, there is a lanre
er of English and American residenta
who are anxious to engage the services of an
Episcopal clergyman, who can minister unto
them in " mother tongue." They meet at
houses of one another, o' Sundays, when the
services of the church and a sermon are
read. I attended service in a sort nf "nnner
loft" or retired room, such as we may im
agine the early christians met together ii
and in which the congregation were all
Mexicans. There were not more than a
dozen or two, but enough apparently to re
present all classes of society.

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, TUESDAY
E reached in Spanish, and by a Mexican who
ad been a priest of the Roman Catholic j
Church.
So you observe, my dear sirr even here in
Mexico, a field and a harvest, mncn room
for and a great lack of laborers; Comelto
us.
W hnvi accounts now ol some six or
eight hundred emigrants with their families,
who are on their way thence, and who are
preparing to come hither.
I had an offer this morning of lands for
colonization, on the" north bank of Panuco
river. They commencobout thirty miles
west of iampico and extend up to the table
land. The tract includes several hundred
square leagues. It is in what is known here
as the Huasteca country, decidedly one of
the hnest regions ot the whole ismpire. Die
ownera Mexican, is very anxious for our
people to establish themselves upon these
lands, and has requested me to tell him-how
to get them there: " Give the alternate
sections with a pre-emption right to the rest
at 512 per acre. i ll do it," said he, and
give tne lands for irada and villages besides."
IIo lias now gone to reduce the offer to
writing.
The river is navigable, and the country
there has been fqr years, nnd until recently,
in a disorderly and unsafe state. A few
months ago, however, the people there gave
in ineir auncsion 10 me empire, ana every
thing now is as orderly and as quiet as could
be desired.
A party of surveyors went out yesterday
from the Landofficc to survey a fine body of
public lands in Millatoynca, one or the sub
districts of Tamaulipas.
We hear of immigrants who are coming
from tfeft South to the number of several
hundred families. They Should aim to ar
rive in this country by .the first of May if
possible, jljiey. wouldtctJiave an opportu

THE IIVItlAX. OF COi. IIOWERS AT
WEST POINT.
A few days ago, it will be recollected that
Col. T. S. Bowers, Assistant Adjutant on Gen.
Grant's staff) was accidentally killed on the
railroad in going in company with his Gen
eral from West Point to New York. Hi3
remains were carried back to West Point and
interred, with proper honors, on Thursday
last. From the mournful scenes of that oc
casion we give the following, as of general
interest. It will be observed that rij? me
mentos of the late war were present, and
lhat reference is made to the memories clus
tering around the chapel in which the cer
emony was performed, well calculated to re
voko the spirit of peace and amity:
" At 1 o'clock the procession formed in the
quadrangle of the chapel for the purpose of
listening to the funeral services. The pall
bearers were as follows : General Nichols,
General Vincent, Lieutenant Colonel Viper,
Lieutenant Colonel Kensel, Lieutenant Col
onel Mordicai, Lieutenant Colonel Gene
thcrs, Brigadier General Sanford. The bat
talion of cadets, equipped in their gray over
coats and white belts, with the bands of their
muskets shining like silver, formed outside
the door and entered the church, every inch
of which is classic ground. The communion
table, covered with the Americai. colors, with
the inscription "For God and Country," the
thousand memorial tablets with names of the
glorious dead, whose names are linked with
the past fortunes of the republic, the can
nons with "George Rex" and the crown en
graved, and the variegated and richly
trimmed standards, torn from enemies of the
republic from Bunker Hill to Chepultepec.
What gloomy iuemories are these to cause
American bltttpto throb and boil in the
veins of her chosen children, the cadets of
Wet Point, destined one day to lead her
embattled hosts to the field. The sacred
spot is full of memories. On yonder pew
knelt the reticent boy Grant, here stern
Stonewall wrestled with the promptings of
the flesh. Yonder was the inner spot where
Lee bowed his proud head under the teach
ings of the humble divine, and in the shadow
of tho column yonder volatile and irrepres
sible Sherman perhaps dreampt of the great
march to the sea, surely it is a place sacred
to lofty thoughts and grand inspirations.
Grant and his staff here entered, and a4 they
pass tho gentlemanly looking cadets pay him
and suite the tribute of the military salute.
The minister, humbly attired in white sur
plice or gown, ascends the pulpit and com
mences the solemn and'bcautiiiil service of
the Episcopal church.
" I am the resurrection and tho life, saith
the Lord ; he that bclieveth in me, though
he were dead, yet shall he live, and whoso
ever liveth and believeth in me, shall," etc.
" I know that my Redeemer liveth and that
we shall stand at the latter day upon the
rtli." These words of the inspired seer of
Patmos fell solemnly upon the ears of the
rapt congregation. J.he sermon continues
with the 20th Psalm, beginning: "Lord,
let me know rily end and the number of my
days, that 1 may be certified how long I have
to live." Grant sits quiet and placid during
the service, surrounded by his staff. Corn
stock and Badenn, with grave, scholarly,
Saxon faces, lost in thought. Hudson, bluff
and soldierlike, with the usual Western traits
prominent. Parker, swart, thick-lipped,
and aboriginal, and Wcrhler a little dandi-
ficd.

a. li.. . .i .1 : l r
SlcCullom and Nicholson, in the corner of
vices are ended, six cavalry sergeants bear
the body forth, and the audience emerge
into the church portal, some listening with
eager can.. to the sweet strains of "Adeste
Fiueles" from the military, and a few rumi
nating on the solemn words just uttered, as
to the nothingness of human life.
THE OKAVE.
The procession, on leaving the church,
marched to the cemetery, winding around
the hills in and about the Hudson, and
while on the way to the grave, two wild
eagles, attracted by the sound of the music,
stopped their wild flight, and hovering
about in the air, made repeated circles near
the hearse, suggesting the thought of victory
to all present. The battalion of cadets, on
reaching the grave, formed as if on parade,
and while the clergyman uttered the words :
" Earth to earth ; ashes to ashes ; dust to
dust f Captain Boynton scattered a shovel
ful of clay on tho coffin. Presently the
coffin was lowered into the grave, and all
being ready, three successive vollies of mus
ketry rung forth on the frosty air and rever
berating with strange echoes, announcing
that nnothcr true and tried soldier had won
the last fight and undid his career."
THE VETO-
.TSIK VIEWS Ol" TVM. C.
X1IVES.
From the Richmond Whig.
In a little friendly correspondence, about
private matters, lajely with Mr. Kives, I
expressed my admiration of the late veto of
the President, and asked what he thought of
it. Hie reply is so beautiful and patriotic,
that I think it both due to him and the
country that it sliould be made public.
"When bad men assail a patriot for per
forming his duty to his country, and seek to
prejudice the people against him, all good
men should sustain and vindicate him ; and
the voice of no one can be more potential
than tli.it of so pure a gentleman and ex
perienced a statesman as Mr. Rives.
James Lyoks.

C. KITES.
"You were pleased in your letter to ex
press a desire to know my opinion of the
late Presidential veto, I agree with yon
entirely in your estimate of it. It lias been
a God-send for ns, for if that horrible hydra
headed monster, which lie so gallantly en
countered and slew, had been to live, I do
not see how the 'South would have been
longer habitable for our own race. Indeed,
my dear sir, the whole course of the Presi
dent, since his admirable message at the
opening of Congress, appears to me to have
been in the spirit of the loftiest patriotUta
and statesmanship, and worthy of the best
days of the Kepublic. If lie goes on as lie
