new spirit at work among the Southern people.
is one whose boldness, easy practicability and
great promised benefits entitle il to the
thoughtful consideration of business men both
in the West and South. 1t is nothing less
than q continuous canal or water way from
New Orleans along the Gulf coast to Mobile
bay, thence to the bay of st. Marks on the
west coast of Florida, thence across the PEN
insula to the tide water of st. Johns river,
which flows into the Atlantic ocean. Such
water line, if it can be constructed. would, it
will be saen intersect all the south-f0wing riv-
ers in Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, place
the interior Of those States within the reach
of ST. Louis steamboat, and make it possible
for such steamer to deposit cargo on the
Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, or even
South Carolina, without breaking bulk. 1t 10
claimed not only that it is practicable, but that
the almost continuous line of lagoons, estuaries.
and rivers invite its construction by providing
four.fifths of the line ready made. Thus, the
Lake Rorgne canal will, when completed, give
connection between the Mississippi and the
eastern arm of Mobile bay, q distance Of one
hundred and sixty-eight miles.-Froin this bay
to that of st, Marks, on the west coast Of
Florida, is distance Of 220 miles, 160 miles Of
which is q succession or chain Of land-locked
sounds. bays, lakes aud lagoons, which would
require nothing but dredging at certain points
to be a continuous navigable line. leaving only
60 miles of real canal to be dug. and that
through country 50 low that the work would
be easy. From st. Marks the canal would be
extended through similarly low and easy
worked region along the coast. distance Of IS
miles, to the mouth Of the Little Warrior;
thence due east, As miles. to the confluence of
the Suwanee and Santa Fe rivers, in the inte-
rior Of Florida. From this point the line
would proceed BY short canals, connecting the
interlaced head waters Of. the Santa Fe river,
which flows west, and those Of Black creek,
which flows east, 10 the broad and deep St
Johns river. which flows into the Atlantic.

The Barracks Difficulty,

The arrest Of Robert Hale the colored
soldier, on Wednesday evening, by the
civil authorities for resisting an officer,
under requisition from the Post Com
mander, and his trial before the Recorder
yesterday morning, and fine of $50, is the
only arrest that has been made. He is in
the workhouse for sixty-six days to work
out his fine. The military very readily
and cheerfully seconded the civil authori-
ties In bringing the offender to justice.
Several other of the colored soldiers aided
In the resistance, and Recorder Halle yes
terday morning instructed that they all be
arrested. Officer Bunk yesterday went to
the Barracks on the corner of Summer and
Line streets, and the officer in charge
drew the darkey soldiers up in line. But
ali of them being strange faces, and being
rlgged IN new uniforms, Mr.. Burk could
not tell which from 'tother, and no further
arrests were made. The promptitude and
prudent firmness of Recorder Halle and
Officer Burk in asserting and maintaining
the supremacy of the civil laws of the city
In this matter deserve all commentator,
as does also the efforts of the officers to aid
them in so doing.

INC COTTON seed on FACTORY.

The COIlOn See0 OhA EaCLOrVs
The cotton seed oil factory to be erected
on McLemore street, near Cedar, and in
the rear of the grounds of the old Female
Academy on Church street, is going to be
an immense affair. We we're shown a de-
sign of the factory building at the office of
Messrs. Dobson & williamson yesterday.
The building will be large and eapacious,
with capacities for immense machinery
and the turning out daily of large quaint
ties of oil from the olesginous cotton seed.
We some time since wrote an article upon
the profit and utility of preserving care
fully the cotton seed for oil making pur-
poses, stating at the time that they were in
good demand. We were not aware then
that there would so soon be a mandatory
in the city Of such extensive dimensions
and capital for this very purpose as is con-
templeted to have in operation IN so short
a space Of time. The factory, according
to the design, is to be 60 feet front on Nc
Lemore street, running back 100 feet deep.
The highest portion of the building will be
IS feet. The company Is composed
of some of our best and most ener-
getic citizens, and the enterprise,
we are assured, is backed by
over hundred thousand dollars. The
building will be put under contract i'm
mediately, and the machinery, which We.
learn will oe of the finest and most elabo-
rate quality, is now being purchased and
will be brought to the city in short time.
1t is calculated that the establishment will
be erected by the close of the spring, and
that by the middle of the summer, or in
time for the seed of the next cotton crop,
II - l. r.,
factory in full operation. 1t is designed to
give employment to large number Of
hands and will consume an immense
amount of cotton seed, turning out vast
quantities of oil daily. The enterprise can
but be profitable one, for aside from the
value of the oil the "cakes" of the seed
from which the oil is pressed is an excel
lent and nutricious food for stock. Sue

i Operations Commenced.
We have before on several occasions re,

Industrial Exposition in May pext, and

tual success. We have never known an
enterprise taken hold of with such eager
avidity as this has been by our people.
proverbial as are their public spirit and
liberality. Nor has there ever been. as
we conceive, an enterprise conceived cal
culated to do more, if as much, good in
the development of the material resources
of our State or to give such an impetus to
manufacturing and industrial pursuits. 1t
has been but short time since the project
was first conceived, yet notwithstanding
the magnitude of the undertaking, mat
tiers have been pushed forward by consoli-
dated and united action and organization,
until its every feature assumes defnitive
shape and proportions. Corresponding
Committees have been organized, Publica-
ton Committees have been actively at
work, Financial Committees have exer-
cised successful and untiring vigilance,
and Building Committees have put things
through with vim and vigor. The result
is everything has been brought systemat-
ica1y forward looking to the consumation
of the same grand end-a successful exhi-
bition in the spring.
, The location of the building has not on
ly been selected, but its plans and specifi-
cations have been decided upon, and the
structure absolutely put under contract,
and operations commenced, with little
doubt that it will be finished in superb and
elegant style within the next sixty days.
Messrs Dobson and Williamson, the archi-
tects of the building, showed us the plan
and design yesterday, which is attractive
and imposing, combining beauty, utility
and convenience. The building is to be
erected on the southeast corner of Spruce
and Broad streets. 1t is to be constructed
in the shape of a cruciform or cross. Tho
longest part of the building, or cross SO to
speak, will be It's feet long, 16 feet wide
and 80 feet high, and will front on Broad
street. The transverse section will be 120
feet long, co feet wide and 80 feet high and
will front on Spruce street. In the center
there will be large and handsome foun-
tain playing all the time during the Exposi-
ion. The building will be surmounted |

THE CONCORDIA HOP.


Dramatic EntertaInmenC-Pre
aIion-Speeches.
On last Wednesday night the members
of the Concordia Club had their annual
calico-hop, and the hall was filed with
members of the Club and invited guests.
Before the dancing commenced, very
neat little dramatic entertainment was
given, namely, 1.-THE FAIRIES Frolio, or the
Good Wife's three Wishes" a French
pantomine In this piece both mortals
and immortals were represented, Mrs. j.
S. personating with splendid effect the
character of fairy Queen, supported by
fairies and fsys, as ''lmmortals" and by
shoemakers, servants, apprentices, etc.,
as ''mortals" When we say that some
of the characters were taken by the ANA
teurs who gave such an agreeable enter
tainment at Masonic Hall some time since,
enough has been said to give an idea of
the character and agreeableness of this
part of the entertainment.
Then the dancing commenced The Ia
dies, though arrayed in calico, were taste
fally dressed, and some OF the gentlemen
present are even said to have mistaken
calico for silk, as they asked how it was
that silk could be appropriately worn at
calico ball?
A magnificent table, spread with various
comforts for the inner man, next engaged
the attention of the dancers. The cloth
having been removed, Mr.. Max Sax, Pres
ident of the Club, presented a handsome
double-cased gold watch to Mr.. J. Seeman,
the retiring President of the Club, who is
about to leave this city for Chattanooga,
where, as we understand, he intends to 10
cate permanently. MIR. Seeman was the
Oldest member of the club, and has three
times been elected President. The pre-
sentation aud reception speeches were ap-
propriate to the occasion, and were well
received.
After the good things of this life that
adorned the well spread board had been
discussed, dancing was resumed and con-
tinued till late hour.
The whole entertainment, from begin.
ming to end, was a most enjoyable affair,
and was one of the best hops ever held by
the club.

RODS 1t viii be every way firmly and
strongly constructed, 50 that If desired it
can remain upon the site for years and
years for whatever purpose it may be ap-
proprlated. There will be number of
large and wide entrances to the building.
SO that no sort of difficulty may be en-
countered in ingress or egress. 1t will be
lighted during the day by both side and
skyilght windows, which viii make the in
terror as light as it is outside The in
terror of the building viii be divided into
four grand divisions, with fountains, ETC.,
the whole brilliantly lighted up with gas
Ior exhibition purposes at night. There
VIII be number of handsomely prepared
ladies' sitting rooms, with suitable offices
for those conducting the Exposition and
the officers In charge. Ample prepare
tons viii be made especially for the mem
bers OF the press, numbers of whom from
a distance are expected to be present.
The structure is to be handsomely painted
and decorated, SO that the exterior will
present an appearance in a degree COM
mensurate with the varied attractions
within. 1t is estimated that the buiId-
ing, when completed and ready to be
thrown open for exhibition purposes, will
cost In construction near s., 600, if it does
not exceed that sum. Those having the
matter u charge have counted the costs.
and Will be ready to meet the same, be
they what they may. They are men of
vim and nerve, and do not hesitate to back
their Judgments with their energies and
their funds, when utilizing public enter
prise demands it. In order to give our
readers on idea of what the building will
be when finished, we present in this issue
cut, engraved from the architects DESIGN. l
The contract for the erection of the j
building has been awarded to W. 8. Dun
navant, gentleman well known in the
city for his energy, skill and promptitude.
He commenced operations yesterday, and
In the afternoon we observed lot of tim
bers that had been hauled and placed upon
the ground preparatory to the commence
ment of active building. Operations hay-
ing commenced, they will be prose-
cuted without intermission until the build
ing is completed and thrown open for the
exhibition. Thus it will be seen that the
Exposition enterprise has assumed definite
and tangible shape, and our readers NAV
rest assured that in May next such sn ex-
hlbition will be held in our city as has
never been witnessed before in Tennessee.
