CoRDovA, MEXICO, Dec 16, 1866.
Ny Dear Sir: Your kind and much es-
teemed favor of the 10Th ult., was handed
me few days since, and / now proceed to
answer il, in camp and without shelter, but
upon my own six hundred and forty acres,
near the town Of Cordova, and the railroad
leading from Vera Cruz 10 the CITY Of Mex
leo. The lands in this vicinity are not sur
passed by any Of the Platte lands in fertility
of soil and in the finest climate | ever saw,
the thermometer never above ninety degrees
or below seventy, and in full view Of noun
tains covered with perpetual snow. am
gratifed 10 be able 10 say that as soon as
the survey was completed, the thirty Con-
federates now here unanimously rendered
me choice of sections. j think have made
judici0ns selection. i have donated 10
the colonists twenty-four acres for town
site ON rushing stream of water, and by a
large spring of excellent water. We have
laid of the ground into town lots and named
1t Carlotta, after the Empress, and we are all
now upon our lots, clearing away the brush
70 erect our houses. / write my family to-
day TO join me here as soon as they can raise
the means 10 do so. / cannot think of re-
turning 10 the States and be required 10 ash

was not a secessicniSt, but when the strug-
| gle came did not hesitate to take the side
Of the South.
j pray to God that my fears for the future
Of the Sodth may never be realized; but
when the right is given TO the negro to bring
suit, testify before courts, and vote in cleo
tions, you all bad better be in Mexico.
There is no doubt Of the stability Of this
government; French troops are arriving
every week, and the marauding bands that
have infested the country for ages past are
fast being exterminated; no quarters are
given.
When the character Of our lands is well
understood, immigration will be a fixed fact
under any circumstances, and the finest lands
that can now be procured at low rates will
command large prices. / have never known
the cultivation of lands 10 yield such large
profits. My neighbor, Mr.. Fink, "a man Of
science,) cultiyates eighty acres in coffee
with ten hands, and sold his last years crop
for $4,000. His coffee field, shaded with
every variety Of fruit trees, in full bearing.

We clip the following from the Memphis
Correspondence Of the New York Times,
under date Of January 4th:
| have met in this city several Of the
prominent war men Of the late Confederate
armies, among whom | may mention espec-
tally Lieut.. Gems. Stewart and Forrest.
Stewart is an elegant man, and will ever be
found faithful. He saws he cannot 20 INTO
ecstacies over his defeat; he cannot jump up
and hug the fellow who knocked him down ;
but he viii hold himself in readiness to
HELM that fellow knock down anybody else
thai comes along. General Stewart says
there is not man in the whole South who
was in the Confederate army who is not now
in favor Of peace and harmony. All those
who want 10 fight aop would not fight when
they had the chance.
i called on Forrest at his store, and saw
the great cavalryman selling ham to a son
OF Ham, by the way, which is no joke-at
least the American citizen Of African descent
(no Joke ON the syllable Scent" for he was
a decent African) didn't think so, for he was
growing, as the cockneys would say, at the
ham-azing high price of the article. Forrest
is about IS years Of age, il six feet two inches
in height, and weighs Us pounds. He is
erect, well proportional, has no surplus flesh
and moves with great ease. His father was
Kentuckian and the son Of an emigrant
from Holland, who accompanied Daniel
Boone 10 the wilderness Of Kentucky some
time ago. believe Forrest was one of'the
most successful Generals of the war, and is
called BY his friends the Prince Rupert OF
the rebellion. He has stern but not UNI
pleasant face. Firmness and courage are
stamped in every linesment of his features,
which are set of by the most perfect and
beautiful ranges of teeth / ever saw. He is
perfectly satisfied with the condition of
things, and isin hearty cooperation with the
loyal men of Memphis.
A pleasant thing took place a few even
ings since at the Gayoso House. A steamer
arrived from New Orleans with Joe John
ston on board. About ten minutes later a
steamer arrived from Little Rock with Te-
cumseh Sherman as a passenger. These
two chiefs met at the Gayoso Office. Sher-
man steps up TO johnson and says, "Why,
Johnston, how are you ?" and hearty hand
shaking, &c, followed. Both were assigned
rooms adjoining each other, and both went
up the Mississippi in the same boat. These
are your real reconstructionists, these sol
diers who have been in the field Johnston
and Sherman during their stay here were
alike honored by visits from the citizens Of
the Bluff City.
