on Finance to inquire into the expedi-
ency of appropriating $4,000, or some
such other amount as in their wisdom
may appear best" for the benefit Of the

must be helped by private subscriptions.
The Legislature cannot appropriate

in Mexico from the United states are
locating on the most favorable terms.
We announced in our last issue that
Senior Mitchell, late of Missouri, had
gone into cotton planting. We have
since learned from very reliable
source-SenOr Woods-that he has gone
into this business on an extensive scale,
having rented two large haciendas for
the term of ten years. They are situated
near the town of Rio Verde, in the De-
partment of San Luis Potosi. The land
is very productive, and is well supplied
with water for irrigating purposes. The
cotton plant yields we'll OH these hacien-
das. 1t is perennial, only being planted
once in seven years. 1t grows about six
feet high with but little cultivation. We
have seen an average stalk with one
hundred and sixty we'll formed boles
upon 1t. The staple is short, but will
compare favorably with New Orleans
middling. 1t brings, at San Luis Potosi,
thirty-twO cents per pound in specie, or
sixteen cents per pound on the hacienda,
In cotton houses, unginned, deducting
the weight OF the seed. The crop grow
ing now on the above named estates
will average Que bale to the acre. With
proper cultivation 1t will, no doubt,
yield twice that amount. We are in
formed that the owners of haciendas
throughout the whole OF Mexico are
very anxious to place their estates, on
the most favorable terms, in the hands
Of experienced Americans who are ac.-
custoined to planting sugar, cotton and
tobacco. We advise our immigrating
friends who may wish to go into this
business, to make immediate applica.

FUTURE or THE SoUTH.-0ne can
not by any process that we know of
look any distance into the future. One
cannot see what will be the condition
of these Southern States . year hence.
We cannot guage the amount or the
value of the cotton crop now in the
field. In short, we knew nothing of
the future, which less yields up its se-.
crets now than at any prior time with
in our recollection. But every man
may, by looking backwards, find hope.
That is the last thing that came out of
Pandora's box; and. taking in the past,
what worse than what it has given is
any one justified in anticipating? The
good sense of the world is not less than
it was thousand years ago; indeed
and we express the opinion with some
hesitation--it is more, notwithstand-
ing the fools of Congress, who ought
to be ploughing up our cotton fields,

and ignorance. The thing will come
right after while-when we are dead
perhaps; but God has no measure of

they come mostly from New England.

Proclamation of Gov. BrownloW
Recovering the Tennes-
see Legislature.
see Legislature.

NASHVILLE, June I9.-The Press
and Times published the following
PROCLAMATION by Gov. Brownlow, re-
conyening the Legislature:
To the Members of the General Assembly of
the State of Tennessee:
GeaatLemen-For more than FIVE years
the State of Tennessee has been de-
prived of her privileges in the Union
of her fathers by the treason of our
people. We have fallen from our high
estate as members of the Great Ameri-
can Confederacy. For more, than a
year past the loyal people Of the State
have been trying to place her in a po-
sition, and to prove her worthy to be
recognized and re-admitted to all her
forfeited rights.
Our Senators and Representatives
have fingered for many months at the
threshold of the Government, asking
to be re-instated in the national coun-
ellis. In view Of the rebellious CON
duct of so many of our people, and
treaohery of those who controlled her
action, Congress has deemed it neces-
sary to require of US certain conditions
precedent as guarantees for our future
loyalty. To this it has been deemed
necessary to the future security of the
whole country that State Legislatures
should ratify certain amendments to
the Constitution of the United States,
which may be briefly stated as follows:
Ist. Equal protection of all citizens
in the enjoyment of life, liberty and
property.
I'd. That classes who are disfran-
chised shall not be taken into account
in fixing the basis Of Federal represen-
tation.
3D.. That certain persons who have
proved themselves dangerous to the
peace of the country shall not be eligi-
Bile to office.
4th. The validity Of the national
debt shall not be questioned, while all
debts incurred in aidof rebels are ille-
gal and void. AS to the disloysl por-
ton of our people, these terms are mild
in the extreme. It is hoped that there
is nothing in them repugnant to the
sentiments of the loyal, or if there be.
that all objections will be yielded upon
the altar of our common country.
Wherefore, /, w. G.. BorownloH,
Governor of the State of Tennessee, in
consideration of the premises and view
ing the present as an extraordinary
occasion, do issue this my proclama
tion, convening the General Assembly
in extraordinary session, to consider
the aforesaid amendments TO the Fed
eral Constitution, and do call upon
members thereof to assemble in the
State capitol on Wednesday, July 4th,
1866, when and where the purposes for
which they will have been convened
will be more fully stated to them.
