Southern States Agricultural and
Industrial Exposition.
The announcement Of this gr,nd
enterprise, SO long needed in Die
Southern States, has. occasioned an
unusual degree of interest and elti-
ted general expression Of favor &d
earnest support we doubt if aiy
movement ever inaugurated in ttib
lefty has met with such gratifying
assurances Of success, or such q
earnest determination to carry it out
Our city is admirably situated fos
Iall the purposes Of such an exhibit
ton, and We feel confident that the
cooperation Of the neighboring states
Iof Mexico and Central America, wilt
not prove the least attractive feature,
while it will do much to encourage
and extend our commercial relations
with these countries. During the
past few weeks, we are informed,
there has been marked increase Of
trade with Mexico, and recently
quite a number Of buyers from the
interior Of that country, have visited
our city for the frst time and pnr-s
chased largely.
The arrangements for the ExposiA
ton are progressing favorably, and
we are assured it is the intention to
push matters forward vigorously in
order that parties abroad may have
ample time to complete arrangements
| for participation. Mr. Samuel Null
len, the General Superintendent. has
located the Headquarters at No. 82
Camp Street, corner Of Natchez,
where he may be found, ready for
the transaction Of business after Jn.
y LIST he having resigned the secre-
Itaryship Of the Merchants Exchange
| in order to devote his exclusive at
tention to the Exposition. A visit
to the Headquarters yesterday be-
ltrayed active preparations for the
carrying out Of the great enterprise
and the work is now practically i,,-.
(augurated.
BY the steamship City Of Mexico,
sailing this morning, Mr.. Mullen will
/ forward to the United States Minis
ter, Hon. Jno. W. Foster, at the City
of Mexico, complete set OF photo
graphic views Of the Fair Grounds.
The views are handsomely gotten up;
and will serve to give an excellent
Idea Of the completeness Of the
Grounds, for the purposes Of the
great exposition. [New Orleans
