Observation-Disclosures.

The city of Cincinnati is very enternrisins
and fiourishing. Our friends out there will
not be much obliged to us for the intcrma-
non; but we may say with truth that owing
TO the restricted commerce that prevailed
between the Cincinnati people and this COM
,nunity prior to the building of the Chesa-
peake. and Olio railroad The statement is
here by NO means supererogatory. We may
with probably rs much reason suppose that.
our friends of Cincinnati were until the
completion Of the railroad aforesaid not well
pcsted as to the locality and condition of
Richmond. But now intercourse between
the two cities has begun jn earnest, and
they are every day learning to know each
other better, and, we believe, to their mutual
advantage.
But to return Cincinnati is prospecting
from that main source of growth and sup
port Of all very large cities, manufactures,
and displaysa degree of enterprise and ae-
tivity in fostering manufacturing industry
that plainly accounts for the magnitude Of
her manufacturing power.
For several years she has had her EXPOSE
zion ofIndustry that has reflected great credit
upon her manufacturing community. The
programme of the exhibition for the present
year is completed and published. We have
received the rules for the occasion, and the
list of premiums contained in three large
pamphlets. They are liberal and judicious,
and indicate the magnitude Of the affair.
The Exposition will be opened on the Sd
September and will continue till the 4th
October. The grounds and halls prepared
for it are elegant and spacious, and the order
Of the exhibition will he unquestionably tile
best, If the rules are carried out. as we doubt
not they will be. Cincinnati is the centre of
one of the richest districts in the Union, and
her communications by rail and water, not
only with that district, but the great cotton
and Sugar-growing Gulf States afford her
advantages for dsposing Of her various fab
RIGS such as few cities enjoy. She has not
lost those advantages, but has made the best
use Of them.
We trust that our merchants and mechan.-
les will visit the exposition of the. Queen
city Of the Ohio, and there gather fresh in.
SEPARATIONS OF enterprise, and open new. bust
ness relations with tiourishing and epter-
prising people. The fostering Of commerce
by the latitudinous line between the two
cities will be Of the highest advantage to
both. In no way can Cincinnati better pre-
serve the integrity Of her commercial posi-
ton than by causing transportation and trade
a. much as possible to hug the Ohio. and to
follow the laitudinous line to thesea in Vir-
ginia. Every diversion from this line eu,,res
to the benefit Of the adyersaries OF the great
Ohio city.
the subject of encouraging manufacturing
enterprise. They would do we'll to initiate
the people Of Cincinnati. They should
have their mechanics institute and their
annual exhibition. They are doing wonder
fully well, and outstripping In the complete
ness, elegance, and durability Of their fabrics
cities that are older and more famous than
theirs, and they may enter the lists and not
fear that they will suffer by comparison Of
work with that Of other cities: Before. the
war we had very admirable institution,
which had excited r noble spirit Of emnla:
ton and u generous rivalry amongst .oiir
mechanics. Let US revive it. 4 1t will richly
repay the community for all the cost and
trouble It will involve Give us that and in
few years we shall have an exposition
worthy to be seen By our Cincinnati friends
