THE SOUTHERN EXPOSITION.

at the South, under whatever aspect 1t pre-
sents itself, is always gratifying and always to
be commended, as another step in the return
march of the country to better era OF
national Brotherhood. So with every disclo-
sure of a more resolute spirit of determine
ton on the part of the Southern people to
retrieve their shattered fortunes and reinvfg-
crate the various industries on which their
prosperity must necessarily depend-it is
something that carries new hope and encour-
scement to the heart of every well-wisher OF
his country and points to that brighter future
when the normal condition of the American
States shall be fully restored, and brave and
resourceful people again be united as one
nation of common traditions and common
destiny.
For these reasons we look upon the pro.
jected exposition at New Orleans as an enter
prise not merely laudahle in itself, but en-
titled to the practical endorsement and sup
port of all who feel an interest in the recon.
struction of the South upon firm and health
full basis.
The proposition is to inaugurate on the
twenty-sixth of February next Southern
States Agricultural and Industrial Exposi.
tion," which shall be open to the world, in
Guiding special premium list for all strictly
Southern manufactures. with Mexican
added as special feature of the
exhibition; and the matter has already SO far
advanced under the direction of the Mechan-
les and Agricultural Fair Association of Lou
isiana that operations are to be commenced
at once and a central bureau OF management
established for the furtherance of the project.
Commencing on the 26th of February and
closing on the 9th of March, the exposition
period will embrace, moreover, the festivities
Of the Carnival, and thus be made the means
of rendering the occasion more memorable,
and inducing larger attendance Of visitors.
