A MEXICAN EDEN.-A naval officer wri-
ting to the Washington Union from Tuspan
River, Mexico, says :-"You never, in all
your dreams or fancies, pictured 10 yourself
as perfect a paradise as this country. The
river is never disturbed but by gentle and
cooling Zephyrs, and meanders through a
country over which reigns perpetual spring.
The land is rich and fertile, yielding of some
things TWO crops, of others, three "a year
The common production, of The soil, almost
without cultivation, are corn, sugar cane, to-
bacco, and wheat. The articles abound
ing in abundance, without cultivation, are
dry woods-such as log wood and vanilla
beans; oranges, pine-appes, bananas, and a
thousand other delicious fruits and luxuries.
Papeta, the hemp plant of this country, and
far superior to Manila, grows wild all over
the country. Deer, wild turkeys, partridges,
wild hogs and cattle, are numerous-in fact.
IA fure has done every thing for this coun-
try, and man nothing. If you could induce
from four to five families TO emigrate here,
they would be more happy and wealthy in
one year, than they would be in any part OF
the United States in four or five. The land

can take up as much land as he can work,
and hold it during own lifetime, and his
children can do The same. You can also
enter pre- empiou, and keep the land by
purchasing from government at the rate oil
ten cents an acre. IL this country was in the
possession, or should say part OF the
United States, with lis natural passes, the
difficulty OF access, and the vast resources
which would soon develpe themselves, i,
would become. in few years, the most veal

lighened community. The production of
the vanilla bean alone (and ii can only be
raised heTe) would produce more wealth in
this province than is made in the whole
State Of New York. Pennsylvania, and Vir-
ginia combined; everything at present is
wild, beautiful and abundant. In my most
