be regarded by some readers as suspicious for its
suddenness; but We are not disposed to question
the sincerity Of the Tribune or of its editor, and
heartily welcome il as a new and important ally
in the great cause Of revenue reform. We desire
nothing more in the way OF tariff legislation,
than that the principles which Mr.. Greeley now
openly supports be faithfully carried out.

a. any rate, commend us to Pratt's hotel, in
Matanzas, and SO will We commend all cur
friends to mine hospisatle host there.
The cave is not the only interesting object
worthy to attract the traveller to Matanzas. The
valley of the Yumu-e has widespread repua-
tation, and is no doubt worthy journey to see.
The Yamure is small river coming from the
south and emptying into the gulf just east of
the Bay of Matanzas. from which it is separated
by range OF hills 500 or 400 feet high. From
the top of these hills the most pleasing view of
the valley is obtained. II is about three miles
wide and the view embraces length of about
fifteen miles, II Is dotted over with houses and
plantations, with groves and fields, with aocks and
herds while the little river in serpentine Course
winds its way through it to the gulf. Although
this sight was in our programme with the pur.
pose OF returning to Havana on the L. NJ. train,
when we reached the hotel my own family felt
too much fatigued to undertake it. To zee this
valley also involved loss Of dinner, which loss
in itself had no particular attractions for me,
especially at that moment. So the others, in
stead of preparing for the trencher. dashed away
for the hills, promising to meet US at the depot
was not disappointed that they failed to come
to time. so at $50 P. N. We ran out of the depot
on the direct line, which is fifty.fve miles to
Havana, and far double that by the long route
By going by the long route and returning by
the short We had an opportunity OF seeing more
Of the country, which was desirable point
gained.
This short route runs through richer and
better cultivated country than that through
which we had passed in the morning. The
tobacco patches were larger, and 30 were the
banana orchards. But the sugar plantations
were the striking agricultural feature which
attracted attention during this afternoon ride,
We passed many very large ones and saw many
thousands of of cane all ready for the knife
closely adjoining the road, like fields of corn in
season with us. The amount OF vegetation in
sugar field Is really incredible. 1t seems fully
equal to that of a cane brake Though not SO tail
it seems thicker on tho ground, with much
larger stalks. Bus we will not discuss sugar
plantations and sugar making till We visit one
and learn all the particulars
The same red coil prevailed on this route which
we observed in the morning till we drew near
the coast and within twenty miles Of Havana.
when it gradually faded out and was succeeded
by soil of dull, blush cast. which appeared
to be equally fertile.
About AS We reached the depot on the east
eide Of the bay, where we had to wait twenty
minutes for the ferry, which took us across to
the city. and to the St. Isabel Our friends Join.
