SOUTHERN EDITORIAL EXCURSION. We
are assured by Maj. Hotchkiss. as we stated
in our last, that the general arrangemen ts
are perfected for the Excursion North, and
we take this occasion to say that it is iu no
small degree due to the efforts of Mai. H.
1t has been no light affair to arrange and
he has expended NO little time, effort and la.
Dor in arranging for it. 1t is destined to be
a grand affair. Geneva and other Cities
have already rendered their Inequalities and
appointed committees of reception. The
Press is loud in its suggestions for brilliant
reception of their Southern brethren. We
notice this, as our Northern exchanges are
brimfull of it, and to give the credit where
the credit belongs-to the indefatieable
Maj. Hotchkiss and the G. & O. and Y. r.
Railroads who have lent it their all and en-
couragement. AS the number is necessari
ly limited to IS, we bespeak from our
brethren of the press, to whom invitations
are extended, prompt response SO that the
final details may be speedily completed
