In this number the distinguished
editor speaks with glowing hope
fulnoss of the country and the Gov,
crnment of his adoption,
After mentioning the appoint
ments of Cm'r. Maury as Chief Of
Colonization and General Magrudcr
rs Chief Of the Land Office OF that
Bureau, he says;-Picdyune.
THE TIDE OF EVAPORATION MOVES on.
Tho public lands will be surveyed
sootionizcd, and offered for sale &C.
cording to the plan Of the United
States Land OAicc. All the lands of
the Govcrnmtt-that have been
acquircdby purchase, forfeiture, con-
fiscation or otherwise will be i'm
mediately brought into market at
very reduced prices, payable in n
series of ycars-thus putting it in
tho power of every one to procure
u home from 100 to GAO acres oflund
according to the size Of his or her
family. The passage of all immi-
grants who desire it will be paid by
the Government.
Already the country is filling up.
We publish in another column list
of actual settlers near Cordova. 1t
will be seen that they are from all
parts of the world. We advise our
friends in the United States who
may wish to emigrate to get ready
as soon after the first Of November
as possible. You can then land
safely at any point on the Gulf or
Pacific coaste. To those who wish
to come by land through Texas. the
road is open at all times, and the
country exceedingly healthy. Bring
with You all tho fine horses and
mules you can, they will sell we'll
here. Bring with you also seeds Of
all kinds, particularly cotton seed;
they are in great demand. To our
friends from the Southern States, we
recommend especially the country
around Tampico, TuXpan and Vera
Cruz. There is back Of these cities
an Immense area ofmagniticent land
free from the malaria Of the "tierra
caliente" free from all cpidemics,
and peculiarly adapted to the growth
of coffee, sugar, indigo, tobacco and
cotton. The lands are so diversified
that all the fruits and plants of both
the temperate and tropic zones grow
there il great perfection. The de-
scription Of these lands will soon be
published, together with full details
in relation to the terms Of sale and
settlement Of the same,
The sooner you leave after the LIST
of November the better, as you will
have the choice Of the best land now
coming into market. The rainy
season is over-the roads will soon
be in fine condition. The cane and
cotton fields are smiling, and the
coffee plantationsinvite you to como
You will find provisions of all kinds
at very moderate prices, and receive
warm and hearty welcome not on
" from the kind hearted and liberal
Mexicans, but from the generous
sons of England, France and Ger
many
Not a word of bitterness towards
the United States is uttered in the
columns of the Times. On the con-
trary, the Ex-Governor says:
The reconstruction Of the South
orl, States appears to be proceeding
as rapidly and as favorably as coul ;.
have been reasonably expected UNI
der all the circumstances OF the case;
and il is due to President Johnson
to admit that he is pursuing poll
cy of conciliatson, and he is dispens-
ing pardons with no niggard hand.
The suffcrings caused by the great
inundation Of the valley of Mexico
have induced the Empress to open
a subscription for the relief of the

her own private purse, also, 500 to
the charitable societies Of Guiana
juato.
There arc two English, one French,
