tribmiog the address n Northern
Men OF tbis city ~ their ffionis of
ilie North.Wcst, which was read
with great iuterest By everY one iato
whose hands n tell At the Leland
Hotel, whero there vas at leasl Eve
buodfcd people assembled the address
was di'trihuted by newsboy, and !
took special pains to notice he man,
ner in which il was received, and in
all cases it seemed to attract marked
altention--iu many cases persons
read il through at once, in case they
had not time to read it, lhcy folded
il up carefully aud put it their poek-
et--in no case was it thrown aside
and treated as o dinarJ advertise
lnents this was true throughout the
entire section Of country visited.
The next point visited was Chic.
ago. Here | called upon Mr. w.
johnson, General Passenger Agent of
the Illinois Central Railroad Co., who
manifested deep interest in the en-
terpriso in which | was engaged, and
stated that his company would do as
much IN every respect, as the road
from New Orleans to Cairo towards
advancing the enterprise and gave
me general letter to the press OF
Chicago, which was of service 10 me
as | made il point, wherever | went
to lay the enterprise before the press;
and it affords me great pleasure to
state that il was received with mark
ed attention by the entire press Of
the Northwest, without distisction
of party-all seeming TO recognize
the great truth, that the South must
be built up and made prosperous,
in order to maintain the general pros
perity and welfare Of their section of
country, as well as that of tic genere
al government. and in view of the fact
that the tide Of emigration is now set
ting back from the far West brought |
about by various causes, among
which are e,lures Of crops, devasta-
ton by insects, great scarcity of wa
ter, and the insurmountable obstacle,
the expensive transportation on every
thing they have to ship or receive, to
say nothing Of ungenal climate. 1t
is generally conceded, thar the South
is the most favored outlet for the
people Of the North West our inter-
G. is being identical !; the two sections
so closely connected by water and
railroad communication, and the nat
ural exchange of the products OF the
North and South.
would here re mark, that | found
a strong feeling in favor Of the gen.
nral government improving the out
let of the Mississippi river, thus at>
Iording to the North west, COMPETE
lion aud consequently cheap transpo>
tation for their products by way of
The Gulf and Atlantic, to the Eastern
States and to Europe.
next visited Cincinnati, where |
'ound deep interest exhibited in ia.
ror of developing the resources OF
The South, which is manifested in
part by the very interests that city Is
iaking in the building of what is
known as the Great Southern Rail-
-oad from Cincinnati to Atlanta, at
/ cost of many millions of dollars,
which, when completed. will only give
hat city access to a portion of the
South, possessing far less natural ad,
fertility OF the soil. etc.,
han the lower mississippi Valley.
From Cincinnati | wen. on to In.
lianapolis, the grea. railroad city OF
he United States, where our enterprise
was again received with great favor
