The Great International Exposltien.

The Great international ExposftIon.a
We have received from Mr.. Edward Got
thiel, assistant commissioner for the United
States, whose office is at No. 1873 Common
street, the following circular relating to an
important matter
The great International Exposition to
open in Vienna on the first of May, 1873,
will, undoubtedly, eclipse all previous SINH
lar efforts to demonstrate the movements of
art and sciences in the interests of humanity
and civilization.
The Vienna Exposition will be on scale
of magnitude never before attempted.
The genius of discovery, of invention and
of progress has been, and will be, so far I'M
der observation and control as, if not to re
ally fOreshadOw new epoch of Peace and
good will, at least, to prove its possibility
The locale is one Of natures favored
spots, and the industry palace, now in pro
cess of erection, is of a magnitude never
before known. In the fullest sense of the
words it will be made a worlds exposition
Egypt will be there, and Greece and Rome
The far East will greet the far West with a
fraternal salaam. Young America will vie
with European nations in the peaceful con-
test. National pride and personal interest
will combine to make the exposition a grand
arbiter and great success.

turers, inventors, artists, merchants. me.
chanics and pr0gressionists of the Southern
States to take steps to be Torthily repre-

word, the fruits OF the brain, of the earth,
air, sunshine, lakes and rivers.
In the Paris Exposition of 1867 but few
OF the Southern States participated, as the
commissions of the war had then only Just
subsidized but there is nothing now to pre-
vent them from taking such part in the
Vienna Exposition Of 1873 as their para
mount interests and necessities urgently
require A full representation OF the varied
products of the Southern States on this
great occasion would attract attention to
their magnificent and unequaled natural,
yet partially developed, resources, and
would powerfully stimulate movements of
capital and immigration toward them from
the rich commercial marts and overcr0wded
masses of the Old World. This is a consid-
Grafton of the utmost practical Importance
to all our people, and should rouse them to
united and vigorous efforts.
Chief Commissioner General Thomas B.
Van Buren,, of New York, has fully awaken
ed the enthusiasm of the people of the
Northern SCaueS, anu Lney are now perfectly
aware of the benefits to result from this
cosmopolitan enterprise. They have deter
mined to be spendidly represented. Let
the people of the Southern States unite
with their Northern brethren and the Amer
lean division at the Exposition will well
pass through the ordeal of a comparison
with the grandest displays of the richest
of The Old World. Every State and Terri
tory of the country will be represented
Their joint contribution will show the init
mate relations and mutual dependence of
the various sections of the nation and ex-
hibit evidences Of natural progress emf
nently satisfactory TO all American citizens
