HEgyptians derived their civilization from
u this country. think his theory very prob
fTble, and think that if Moses and the
: children of Israel could be resuscitated aud
7 brought TO this country they would imagine
they werea back in the original house of
bondage. The same way Of plowing, ma
king carts, threshing grain, making bricks,
sandal shoes, carrying water, &C., still pre-
- walls; and / have 40 donbt that if Macau-
leys South Sea lslapder, after he conclu-
ded his study on broken arch Of the Lon
don Bridge, some 1000 years hence, would
pay this country visit, he would find pre-

! tebNpw, in regard to the prospects afforded
to emgrantsi think they are very small
= indeed. The land is owned in very large
u 4itracts, and the owners are decidedly 6ppO-
: lsed to dividing their land; orin factisellng
sd on any terms it is true that large tracts
OF land are sometimes offered at low price,
Fand know at least one instance where a
I party purchased and thought they had
i made magnificent speculation-w9re GO
ii ing TO raise coffee, &C. Since i have
commenced writing this letter one of the
party returned and tells me that the pur-
chase turned out to be magnificent hioun-

not anything else not wood enough to
make a fish pole, or sufficient water for
1l drinking purposes; Of course the party
lol was disgusted and thinks that Mexican
q Ilaandl speaeplators need watching. Coffee is

labor, think this is the worst country,
probably, in the world there is an abun-
dance of labor for every purpose. At

Il | hire fora living The common wages are
+. % cents per day, and the laborer, finds
Riihseii-that is on farms. Near the City
= Of Mexico they are now paying on the rail-
mls road b0cents per day, and in thisiregion,
M where at Least LOO per cent. of them are
either foreigners or natives Of the table
'Iadds,s and are sure to die, they receive
"a from 81 to $l.25 per day Now these are
truly the inducements that are offered to
= labpTers. There are quite anumber of men
from the State here, and the great MAORI
ty Of them are the most disconsolate, home
