IMPROVEMENT or THE MIssssIPPL--A
meeting was held in the Chamber Of
Commerce yesterday evening for the
purpose of listening to an address by NJ.
A. Bryson, of st. Louis, appointed by
the Convention in that city to visit the
several cities in the Valley of the Mis-
sssippi, and ask their 60 operation in
endeavoring to procure suitable appro-
priation for the improvement of the
Father Of Waters" Mr.. Nelson occu.
pied the chair and Captain Freligh
ofiiciated as secretary. Mr., ,Bryson made
an excellent speech in favor of the OBJ.
ject Of his mission, which was listened to
with marked attention. The following
resolutions were unanimously adopted
by the meeting:
Resolued, That we have heard with
pleasure the able address of Gel. Bryson
on the subject of improving the naviga'
ton Of the Mississippi river, and deep
ening its outlet at the Balize.
Resolred, That the subject is one which
deeply affects the interests of Memphis,
as we'll as other cities and towns tributa.
~ to the great Father of Waters, and
we pledge ourselves to contribute our in
huence in getting such aid from the
General Government as will insure an
Improvement in the navigation of our
great commercial highway, on whose
waters floats so large a portion of the
products Of our great Northwestern and
Southern States.
Resolped, That our earnest sympathles
are enlisted in the efforts of Col. Bryson
and others in this behalf, and that com
mittee of five be appointed to communi-
cate with members of Congress from our
own State, whose influence we expect in
this important work, and that they also
cooperate with committees drom other
cities in securing the desired assistance.
The Chairman appointed Col. John 7.
Trezevant, Commodore Montgomery,
Col. Sam. Tate, Mr.. II. Hainer and Mr..
A. T. Lacey the committee called for.
Mr.. Bryson again rose and said that in
his tour South he felt satisfied from all
he had seen and heard that the move
ment which he advocated would do more
to bind the Northwest and the South
together than any other scheme which
could be invented. There we're no bonds
like those of commerce in binding peo-
pie together, and he contended that it
was only the commercial interests of the
two countries which had prevented war
several times within the past forty years
between England and the United States.
New Orleans was the New York of the
Mississippi Valley, and in conversation
which he had had with Gen. Beauregard
in regard to the subject he was advo-
eating, General Beauregard had given it
as his opinion that the improving of the
navigation of the Mississippi would be
certain to bind the section of the country
in very strong bonds and promote the
most friendly relations in all sections of
the country. Under such circumstances
Mr.. Bryson hoped that the greatest in
terest would be taken in the movement
by the citizens of the prosperous city of
Memphis.
We are now selling our stock OF white
goods, consisting of Brilliants, Jaconets,
Cambrics, Nainsooks, Swiss Null, Victoria
and Bishops Lawn, at ten per cent. less
