1t is the aim of the Board of Commissioners to make
it thorough exposition of the Agricultural and Me
chanical Products of the Southern States, Mexico
and Central America but it will be open to competi
| tors throughout the country and the general pre-
MUM list will embrace all articles comprehended in
tho general design Of Agricultural and Industrial
Exposition, including special premiums for strictly
Southern products.
The premium list which is now in course of pub
lication will be liberal scale and the rules will
provide for just and impartial system of awards by
competent and disinterested jurors.
The Fair Grounds are generally conceded to be
the handsomest in the United States comprising 100
acres, within fifteen minutes ride by street cars
from the center of the city The grounds shaded
by beautiful grove of live oaks and the buildings
which are of recent construction, amply suff
Gent to meet all the necessities Of the most extern
sive exhibition.
The Racing Course, which is used by the Louisiana
Jockey Club at all its meetings, is justly famous
throughout the country and the accommodations for
stock unsurpassed.
1t is the first time that such enterprise has been
inaugural d at the South and being held at a time
when the city of New Orleans is thronged 18th thou
sands of visitors to participate in the festivities of the
Carnival it affords unusual inducements 10 exhibitors
from every section of the country.
The commissioners earnestly appeal to the people
of the Southern States to lend their aid and encourage
ment to the Exposition, and to make it in all respects
complete exhibition of Southern productions, and it
is hoped that manufacturers producers and others in
every section of the country will participate.
Ample arrangements have been perfected for the
transportation of goods and visitors from every

THE CITY OF WACO DISASTER
The Missing Passengers May Not All be
Lost.
Good Reasons for Still Hoping that More
May yet be Saved.

The following communication has been
handed us for publication by gentleman
who for long time was seafaring man, and
it will be found to contain suggestion which,
if speedily acted upon, may result in the
rescue of other passengers of the Inflated
steamer who have been already given up as
among the lost.
In great disasters like this one we are very
apt to seize with avidity upon the slightest
hint of hope, and there appears to be much
reason in the subjoined communication why
we should not entirely despair of saving other
lives from the wreck
New ORLEANS, Nov. IS, 1875.
Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
Among the reports concerning the loss of
the steamship City of Waco, there is one
stating that small boat was picked up by
steamer some forty miles from the place of
the disaster, and also parcels of freight from
the same steamer were recovered, none of
which it appears showed any evidence of hay
ing been near fire.
These reports do not tell us that the search
for other boats was prosecuted to any greater
distance from the scene of the burning; nor
1t these reports be true, is it not reasonable
to suppose that if small boat and packages
of freight drifted to that distance in that
time, the other larger and better boats of the
steamer might have been successfully
launched, and, running before the wind and
sea at the rate of eight or nine miles an hour,
been driven to greater distance than a small
one that merely drifted? Ii the packages of
freight were picked up at that distance, after
only drift with wind and current, aided by
the heave OF the sea, may not other boats
and larger packages have been driven far be-
yond this or even landed far down on the
coast?
1t seems to me that there is still reason to
hope that if a vigorous search was instituted
other passengers might be found, or it may
be that we shall yet hear Of the safety of some
Of the missing ones who are now tossing on
the sea or landed high and dry on some lonely
sea coast. BARNAcrE

Shooting ARRAY in the Shippers

A Negro Shot and Dangerously
Wounded for Singing a Song.

About 7:30 o'clock Thursday morning a
difficulty took place in the yard of the Ship.
pers' Cotton Press, at the corner of Robin
and Tchoupitoulas streets, between a boy
named William Mccartney and negro named
John Miller, which resulted in Miller being
shot in the right side and dangerously
wounded by Mccartney, who made his escape
Several of the hands in the press, eye wit
nesses to the affair, state that Miller was sing
ing a song, called "The 18th Of March,
Well all Turn Out" when Willie approached
him, and said that he was tired of being
made small of, and told Miller that he had
better stop making small of him; that he
wasn't going to stand it any longer. Miller
replied that he had taught him that song, and
that he intended to sing it as long as he
pleased, when Mccartney pulled out his pistol
and fired at Miller, the ball taking effect in
his right side.
He cooked his pistol again, but by this time
Miller had disappeared. He then broke and
ran.
Henry Miller was taken to the Charity Hos
pital, where he now lies in a critical condition.
The wounded man states that 81 and Willie
McCatfrey had been working and playing to-
gether; was singing song, 18th March
All Turn Out, this morning, when Willie
came to me and said, I'm tired of you making
small of me-"
81 answered that was not making small of
him, didn't you teach me that song He then
said if you don't stop I'll make YOU l said
that I would sing that song as much as I
pleased. Then he drew his pistol and shot me.
He cooked his pisto to shoot at me the second
time, but ran behind some men,"

mission into the Union, which has never been
paid, and which the Secretary of the Interior
refuses to pay; and
Whereas, considerable body of land has
been located in the State of Louisiana on such
