An able and evidently well posted correspondent
Of the San Francisco (Ca Bulletin supplies the edi-
tor of that paper with copy OF letter written by
G. H. Foote, Esq, British Consul at San Salvador,
upon the resources Of that so-called Republic. Mr.
FoOte has long resided in the State, and is engaged
in raising cotton and coffee as well as in attending
to the interests of Great Britain. We extract that
portion of the letter which relates to cotton growing

country is OF a beautiful FIBER short staple but as

,ourHERN COMMERCIAL CONVENTION.


This important body assemblies in Montgomery,
Alabama, on the second Monday Of next month,
From present appearances we Judge 1t win be largely
attended; and that many of the truest ablest and
most practical sons of the South will be present as
delegates. Alabama has appointed noble delega-
tion choicer selection could not have been made
from the mighty multitude Of patriotic and talented
spirits with which that Commonwealth is richly en-
dowed. The same thing may be truthfally observed
regarding the appointments Of Georgia. South Caro-
lima and most Of the other Southern States.
: As,yet no appointments have been made by the
Governor or any other authority in louisiana that
we are aware Of. Although there is time vet in
which these selections may be judiciously made still
there is little to be lost No persons should
be chosen who will not first signify their intention to
attend. This is prerequisite of considerable mo-
ment. The appointment of men to responsible posi-
tious without there is probability that they will
accept and discharge the duties attachn thereto
more Of farce than anything else. Out of the large
number of delegates appointed by the Governor and
Mayor last year to represent the interests of Louis
lana and New Orleans in the Knoxville Convention,
probably not in ten found it convenient to repair
to the place designated in which the deliberations
were to be held. We hope, far this point is
cerned that the matter will be better attended to in
future
According to the resolution adopted by the Knox
vile Convention, the Governors Of States, Mayors of
cities and towns, and parish authorities, empow
cred to appoint delegates. This was done, We sup
pose in order that the fullest possible expression of
the will of the Southern people might be had
We would respectfully suggest to Governor Wick
life and Mayor Waterman, and the other parties duly
authorized to proceed in the premises. that they
should enter upon the labor of appointments without
unnecessary delay. The time fixed for the meeting
OF the Convention is not very far off, and it would be
a notifying affair if Louisiana should be unrepre-
sented
