Letter from John Perkins

OORUUVA, MeAlCo, APiiA AfIh, AooV'
DEAR S1R-The money l ordered to be
RENTED was received. 1t is the first (
have received from the United States, or
any other source, since reaching Mexico.
The scoundrels who robbed me, near the
Texas line, took all my money except (slo)
ten dollars, that I had concealed in the
lining Of my coat. BY the subsequent sale
of my ambulance and horses, l managed to
get here, and am at work on my land. We
find difficulty in securing labor, but en-
deavor to supply it by working ourselves.
l am in good health and cheerful in the
hope of making ultimately an independence.
Those who come here need not expect to
pick up fortune on the street, as if the
ground was covered with gold, nor to gain
one by speculation. Hard work is the on
ly road to independence here, as in the Uni
ted States. Our climate is the most de-
fightful in the world. Open mir life is
pleasant here at all seasons-never too cold
nor too warm. One morning here has all
the bracing effect of bright November
day, and the next all the vernal softness of
a May day in Louisiana. The result of
this is that we have perpetual green, and
abundant fruit.and flowers at all seasons.
What is called here the wet season, is not
as is generally supposed, constant rain, but
constant mud on the roads, the result OF
daily showers that are generally Of an hours
duration. Thus everything grows rapidly
and vegetation is beautiful beyond descrip.
ton. In the dry seasons we never require
irrigation, scarcely ten days ever passing
without q shower, and consequently we
never have parched up gardens ard fields.
Nature works here the whole year for man,
and if he is thrifty, and avails himself Of her
bounties, there is no reason why he should
suffer for anything in the present, or fail
ultimately of securing comfortable home.
with his garden Of rich fruit and flowers,
1t is for this kind Of q home-with its hun
bred and not its thousand Of acres--that
immigrants who come here should look.
Those immigrants who are here are general
| ly doing well. Some are cultivating the
ground but find much difficulty in securing
labor, Others have contracts on the railroad,
or make brick, or burn lime. Some. have
started a soap factory, Others tannery to
make leather, another livery stable, two
have hotels in this place, and yet another
is thinking of tobacco factory.
Judge Oldham, formerly Confederate
Senator from Texas, is writing history OF

meantime is supporting himself by photo

ton will explain itself:
Washington, July 24.-The President
has signed the joint resolution admitting
Tennessee, but says the preamble consists
of statements, some Of which are assumed
while the resolution is merely a declaration
of opinion. It comprises no legislation,
nor does it confer any power which is bin
ding upon the respective Houses, the Elk.
ecutive or the State. He further says the
right of each House Under the Constitution
to judge of the qualifications Of its own
members is undoubted, and his approval
or disapproval OF the resolution could not
in the slightest degree increase or diminish
the authority in this respect conferred on
the two branches Of Congress, but he is
earnestly DESTROYS to remove every cause
of further delay, whether real or imaginary
on the part Of Congress to the admission Of
the loyal Senators and Representatives
from. Tennessee. Notwithstanding the an
omaisns character Of the proceedings, he
afixes his signature to the resolution; at
the same time his approvalisnot IL be con
strued as an acknowledgment that Con-
gress has the right to pass laws preliminary
to the admission ofthe representatives from
any Of the States, nor is it to be considered
as committing min to all the statements OF
the preamble. some Of which are without
foundation. Among them he states that
there is reason to believe the Tennessee
Legislature has not ratified the late amend
ment passed by Congress. A part of the
message was greeted with defision and
laughter by the radicals, and with applause
by the Democrats. Subsequently the Com
mittee on ELECTORS reported fayorably on
the credentials of the Tennessee members
and an invitation was extended to them to
come forward to Be sworn. Maynard, Tay-
lor aud Stokes appeared and took the oath.
This was followed By much applause and
the new members received the congratuia-
tons Of the Speaker aud Others.
