CorroS FInLDs OF CENTRAL AMEaloA.-

COTToN FIELDS OF CENTRAL AMERICA
The New York Post publishes letter
from Mr.. Squier, formerly our Charge
d'Affairs at Nicaragua, in which he de-
scribes the capabilities of Central America
as a cotton producing region. No man is
better qualified to speak on this subject
than Mr. Squier, who was for many years a
resident of the country, and who has since
devoted to it much patient inquiry and
study. He demonstrates these points:
1. That Central America is better adapt
ed for tie production OF cotton of equal if
not superior quality, in large quantities, and
at less cost of labor and capital, than any
portion of the Southern States of this TN
ion.
2 That by the introduction of foreign
enterprise and capital, under such protec-
ton and guarantees as the United States
and great Britain could give, through means
of treaties with the Central America States,
the cultivation of cotton, with the existing
local supplies of labor, could be stimulated
to the extent of filing a very large part of
the demand for that staple, present or pro-
spective.
3. That the country is eminently adapt
ed for the introduction of exotic labor, and
that under such inducements as England
andthe United States could easily securefrom
the local governments, emigration would
be attracted thither to an extent adequate
to remedy any deficiency in the supply of
cotton resulting from lack of local labor.
Central American gentlemen now in New
York, we are told are able to corroborate
everything Mr.. SqCier has said and they
offer moreover on the part of their respec-
tive nations, the most active cooperation
with every free nation which will under
take to develope the marvellous resources of
the Islhmus.

but permit me 10 thank you, and through
you, the citizens Of Cleveiand5 for -thie
grand and cordial reception. rT ~
From letters received, and through kind
friends, who have visited US in our various
camps, we were led 10 expect hearty well
come, but this, sir, far exceeds our expect
ations, and fear We have not merited it
We have passed through many trials since
we parted with our friends on this beauti-
full spJt, and we have received many fav-
ore and many expressions Of kind regard,
from stranger friends in Pittsburgh, LAM
caster, Philadelphia, and most Of all from
our fellow citizens Of this city. These are
bright spots in soldiers life, and trust
we are not uugrateful for them. We have
been led from place 10 place, sometimes
cold or wet or hungry, with the promise Of
better things, until finally to cap ell We
were backed on a rail car into the very
jaws Of death, without warning. Thanks
be to God, in Whose hands are all our des-
TIMES, and Whom none of us will ever
cease to praise for His care over US, We
were spared, and to day are permitted 70
meet you on this ground.
Imagine, sir, our feelings on the night OF
the 18th Of June, while bringing back 10
camp our dying comrades in our arms, in
the stiffness of night. Do you nos think
our thoughts reverted back to our friends,
and to our dear ones at home? We, sir,
imagined what your feelings were on hear
ing the news; for we had time to reflect
while lying on cur arms in the woods, not
daring to close oureyes for fear Of mid
night attack. But, sir, 1 will not detain
you, though before close allow me to say
a word about our noble command. When
we parted with you on the 18th Of April, il
was to protect that old Flag. Il was the
proudest, and on many accounts the sad
dest day ofmy life. l ask who would moi
} be proud to march at the head of such mer
We have endeaEored to do our duty
None Of us knew who would be called (
lay his bones TO bleach on Southern soil
or that any would ever return 10 meet yot
again. These men, sir, have done all ths
was required of them. They have beer
kind 10 their officers, to each other, and 1
truer set of men cannot be found in thI
field. And, sir, would rather be q pri
