LOUISVILLE, Sept. 23.-Mr. Greeley has
come and gone, and Louisville has quietly
settled down after the sensation of visit
from ''the next President" IL was con-
templated that he should arrive here at
7:30 Saturday evening, but the train was
fully one hour and half behind time, and
it was after nine O'Clock when be reached
the Exposition building. Here large con-
course OF people, perhaps as many as five
thousand, were waitingto receive him, and
when he entered the building, he was re-
ceived with hearty applause, which lost
none of its vim as he proceeded through
the crowd TO the place from whence he was
to address the people. was standing
within about thirty feet of him, but did
not hear word he said. The buZ of the
surging crowd completely drowned his
voice, and the great body OF those present
could only see an old man bowling and gesd-
culating az them. His subsequent speech
at the Gait House was heard by a much
larger number.
CALLING ON MR.. GREELEY.
A great many people called on Mr.. Gree
ley Yesterday, and all who had the pleasure
of seeing him went away greatly pleased
with his honest, manly face, and his easy,
simple manners. he appears well calcula-
ted to win upon people who have read
of him only as bitter politician.
THE NASHVILLE COMMITTEE INTERVIEW
MIR. GREELEY.
In the evening the committee sent from
Nashville to invite him to visit the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical Fair at that city,
called on him and acquainted him with the
object of their visit. He was told that he
was engaged in great and good work,
that of restoring peace and harmony be-
tween the sections, and it was thought he
could greatly advance his work by visit to
Tennessee, where he would meet thousands
of the citizens of that State and of the adj
Joining States, who would gladly avail
themselves of his visit to Nashville to meet
them there and bid him God speed in bis
glorious work. Mr.. Greeley replied that
he felt sure his work had been accomplish
ed, but whether the fruit would be gathered
this year or at some future time remained
to be seen. He was satisfied the work of
uniting the sections and harmonizing their
people as a brotherhood had been success
fully inauguIated, but it was for the future
to show when the fruit would be fully ripe
for gathering. He frankly told the COM
mittee that he did not think his presence
was necessary in Tennessee, and that while
he could perhaps accomplish some good
in other places, he felt it his duty to follow
up the line he had marked out for himself
in starting upon his journey. The parti-
culars and the result of the second inter-
view between the committee and Mr..
Greeley held this morning, were sent you
by telegraph. 1t is evident that Dir. Greeley
desires TO visit Tennessee, and it was a strug-
Gle between inclination and duty, whether
he should not yield to the opportunities OF
the committee. When it was suggested
that the fair would be continued one or two
DAYS in order to afford him time to come
out from Baltimore, after the delivery Of
his address before the Maryland State Fair,
he responded that, with the work he would
have to do in the meantime, he would be
pretty well exhausted when he should have
delivered his Maryland address. And to
come 70 Tennessee after that, he would be
compelled to show himself al every station,
aud make short talk at a greater portion
of them; so that be would arrive at Nash
Vile unable to do himself justice or the
people who should turn out to hear him.
i think it extremely doubtful whether Mr..
Greeley will visit Tennessee this year, but
the officers of the association may secure
his attendance at their next fair, whether he
is elected President or not, if they will take
The proper steps at an early day. The
nresent effort failed because Mr.. Greeley
had so many engagements anead Wmcn
he could not disregard.
THE LOUISVILLE EXPOSITION.
The exposition here is a success when we
consider the short time in which the man.
ayers had to erect the building and MAKE
the necessary preparations for receiving the
articles on exhibition. The display OF ar
tjcles on exhibition is very credltabie IN
decd. and shows what may be done another
wear if the business men OF Louisville enter
into the affair with the proper spirit. IL
any body desires to study Louisville In It's
mechanical and manufacturing progress, the
thing NAV be done to advantage In the tx
nosition building, for here we ind almost
everv branch of mechanical industry repre-
sented by improved machinery In every de-
nartment. These facts suggest what LOUIS
Tile is the way Of manufacturing. AS
many of the merchants and business
men of Nashville as can be IN
iIrT to do so, ought to visit this exposi-
ION, that they might see the interest their
.onisvilIe brethren take in this grand dis-
NAV of the industry and business Of the
p The style in which every thing ex-
fibited is prepared, and the manner
and surroundings in when
niaced on exhibition, would, perhaps, beges
a spirit of emulation in them when s1r WTaio
