GBNBRAL STERLING PRICE.
Letters have been received in this city
from General Price, dated at Cordova,
Mexico, on the fifteenth of November.
Governor Harris of Tennessee, the Honor
able John Perkins, Jr.. of Louisiana, Gen.
Shelby of Missouri, and great many other
officers aud men of the late Confederate
army, were also at the same place; the dis
tFict of Cordova having been selected by
the Imperial Commissioners as the seat of
the colony which those gentlemen propose
TO found 10 Mexico We are permitted to
quote what General Price says about the
lands which have been set apart by Maxi
milan for this colony.
''They are about seventy miles from
Vera Cruz, and On the railroad leading
thence to the City of Mexico. This road
is being rapidly constructed, and is now
in operation TO within fifteen miles Of this
place, and viii be comp leted to the town of
Cordova within few months, and to the
irCity of Mexico within two years These
lands are three thousand feet above the
level of the sea, aud are as fertile as any Of
L
chase, which is the northwestern partsof
Missouri, comprises the zichest lands in
that State, and perhaps in tbs Union.-Ed
Nt 1cS. They are unsurE asssd in the pro-
duciion of corn, tobacco, coffee, Ve2s00aUIos
of every kind, and all the tropical fruits.
The lands, which lie between this elevated
country and the coast, produce as much
and as good cation as the Louisiana lands.
W. are practically as near the markets of
New York and New QFleans as the le
OF Central Missouri arek and the climateJis
the best in the world. The Thermometer
never rises above ninety degrees, nor falls
below seventy. ThHfgakeUis excellent, and
we can get ice from t mountains covered
with perpetual snow, (which are in plain
sight, and about thirty miles distant. The
Imperial Government~ hasrpurchased the
lands from the original >proprie ors, and
sell them to US at one dollar an acre.
Our colony commences with about thirty
Confederates, all OF whom are in high
spirits, and expect to make fortunes raising
coffee A gentleman who has lived here a
few years, sold his last years coffee crop,
for (Sl6,O0O) sixteen thousand dollarss
1t was produced on sixty (6O) acres Of
land He works only ten hands. Hestells
me that b. is fruit trees can supply his table,
with different variety of fruit each day in
the year. His coffee plantation, shaded
with every species of fruit tree laden with
fruit, and the walks bordered with pine
apples is certainly the most beautiful farm
that have ever SEEN
| Of course the letter from which the above
extracts have been taken, was not intended
for publication. nor do we know that its
writer will approve our course in giving
publicity TO it; but the facts stated in it are
50 interesting to great many persons in
this country, and the writer is so well
known, and his statements so perfectly re-
liable, that We have prevailed upon the
gentleman 70 whom it WAS addressed to
permit US to lay. The. foregoing extracts be-
fore our readers.-N Z. -
A COW WANTED
THAT which was painful to suffer, it is
pleasing to remember This is an old Latin
proverb, and sometimes true, on the ground
that there is something soothing to man
in the recollections of his past misfortunes.
Then ought are not to have pleasing memo
ries crowding in upon US rapidly? We
had the finest COW In town-oT out Of town
either-but we suffered her 10 die at the
same time We we're suffering Sherman to
drive US into the heart of Georgia It was
painful to suffer so. But how pleasing to
remember that she was not the only COW in
the world, and that Sherman drove a heap
O. folks besides us. We want another COW
Isn't it delightful We are obliged to
have another COW Isn't it pleasing ?
Sherman didn't catch Us, nor he didn't
drive US so deep into Georgia but what we
got out That is the most pleasing recol-
lection of all.
But in fact we do want to buy a COW
a good COW. Apply soon.
