knowledged ss one of the finest and
smoothest new roads ever Travelled
upon in this country. While travel.
ing over the read we found II SUBJ
ject of general remark among the
passengers, and it was generally ad-.
mitted by all that they had never
travelled on new road making such
good time with as much comfort as
they were then enjoying. The
road.bed is good, the rails are
well connected, allowing the cars to
pass over without so much OF the usual
jsrring. The coaches are elegant and
built with view to the comfort of the
passengers, and,i fact we failed to
meet with single dissatisfied traveller
over that line during the entire trip.
We learn that after the first of next
month there will be double daily trains,
one of which will make the trip from
Cincinnati to Chattanooga, 1856 miles,,
in 10 hours, including stoppsges.
The southern people seem to have
appreciated the enterprise, and the
only trouble Ia that the road has not
sufficient rolling stock at present to
carry the freight, and we understand
that goods accumulate at the depots
faster than they can be shipped. This,
however, will soon be remedied, and
the merchants of Cincinnati will be
ready to supply all the wants of their
southern customers. We heard much
talk of the Emory Gap connection
with Knoxville, and, from what we
could gather, the Cincinnati mer-
chants mean business. They say II
this connection proves as important as
1t has been represented to them, they
want 1t, and steps will be taken at
once TO secure Ii. The matter
has been placed In the hands of com.
mittee to investigate, and their report,
Of course, will influence the action of
the Cincinnati merchants.
THE MILLERs' EXPOSITION.
Cincinnati is also to have the credit
for getting up the first millers' inter-
national exhibition, aud extensive
preparations are being made to make
1t grand success. That 1t will be d
success there is not shadow of q
doubt, for the Cincinnati people seem
determined not to know such thing
as failure In any enterprise they may
undertake, The exposition will be open
on the 3lst of May and lsst until
the Goth OF June. The secretary in>

of space had been spoken for by par

The New York Financial Bulletin
of recent date has the following on
the subject:
"The millers OF the west and the
northwest are to have grand inter-
national convention at Cincinnati on
the 30.h of May. Crediting the state-

MANY other firms In Cincinnati will
doubtless also be represented, and we
have no doubt it will be the largest
display OF millers' machinery and
supplies that has ever been made

other features to make 1t attractive to
the general public, one Of which is
some excellent music every night
during the exposition and twice a
week In the afternoon. Excursion
rates will be given on all the roads
leading to Cinelnnali, and a large ex-
