The New York herald., 1869-12-27

We published yesterday letters from Tuxpan
and from the city Of Puobla. Ono letter
describes in glowing style trip through the
TERRA Caliente, or hot land of Mexico, ''where
the flowers never cease to bloom, where vege-
tation never rests-truly land Of milk and
honey" What a contrast is offered to the
cold, disagreeable climate of the long, barren
salt plains between Godul Aqua and Perote,
by the beautiful little town of Tizuitlan, with
each of Its bouses occupying an entire square
and all the squares growing corn, and seven
miles below, by the lovely and fertile country,
with its growing crops of corn and rce,'
extending to the land of the plantain and
fragrant vanilla; by the valley Of the bold
and limpid Tecalutla; by Papantala, the home
of the Totonacos, clean and prim looking
Indians wearing light and picturesque cos
tunes, and by the Tuxpan valley, with its wheel
tracks, its fences Of evenly split rails, its log
houses, its Yankee cooking stoves and other
signs of los Americanps, and by the famous
Huestaca country, with its gently undulating
plains, its hills covered with luxuriant grass
or heavy tropical woods, and its happy little
valleys, crossed by pretty bubbling creeks, as
clear as the skies above them, and every bush
along their banks alive with chirping birds and
screaming parrots and chacalacas Well might
our correspondent exclaim, ''Blessed coun-
try wood, prairie, water, fertile soil, with
but little rock, which will give two crops Of
corn, rice, sugar cane, vanilla, coffee, sarsa
parilla, indigo, dyewoods, allspice, ginger,
cacaon and all the fruits of the tropics where
there are no mosquitoes, few flies and few
snakes" 1t is not strange that on arriving at
the town Of Tuxpan, and visiting the remnants
of the French, Italian and ex-Confedate colo
nists, who have tried to settle on the south
side Of the Tuxpan, he wondered that they did
not settle on the north side Of that river, in
the healthy Huestaca country. What rich
and entcing field it will offer to future colonists
from the United States 50 soon as Mexico
shall have been annexed to our great republic.
This ultimate result of manifest destiny, The
union Of the two republics, cannot long be
postponed by all the fattering compliments
which ex-Secfetary Seward, the polite and
willy guest of President Juarez, has felt diplo-
matically bound to bestow upon the capacity
of the mixed races of Mexico for independent
self-government
Our letter from Puebla refers to the omnous
split in the liberal ranks, the furious outbreaks
of religious intolerance, the renewed efforts to
overthrow the Juarez government and to
other indications that the usual crop Of revo-
luton is rpening in Mexico. The time must
come, and cannot be far distant, when the
direct Intervention of the United States
government will be needed in order to bring
order out Of chaos, and to enable Mexico,
under the influences of law, peace and civiliza-
tion, to develop to the utmost its wonderful
capabilities for wealth, prosperity and pro-
gress. We are convinced that General Grants
original idea, at the close Of our late civil war
and while Macmillan and the French were
occupying Mexico, of marching an army
beyond the Rio Grande and annexing the
entire country, was far more statesmanlike
than the glittering generaiities with which Mr.
Seward has acknowledged the courteous well
come extended to him by President Juarez.
But for the present, and until few little
West Indian questions are disposed Of salts
factorily, the question of the absorption of
Mexico by the United States will keep. We
can afford TO wait patiently for its inevitable
final solution.
