WORLDS EXPOSITION.
Arrangements for Texas Exhibits At
The Worlds Fair.
Circular letter from Oom'r Gammaoe.

Circular letter from Cosnr Gdmmdge.
PALEsrISE, Tex, Oct. 9th, 1854
Dear Sir: I have just returned from
New Orleans, where Col. Elliott and
1 have everything satisfactorily ar
ranged for the display Of the Texas
exhibit and the comfort of Texans
who may visit the Worlds Fair.
Our space is ample and located in
the most favorable part OF the gov
ernment building. Texas headquar-
ters are to be located Immediately
adjoining the exhibit and on the
main entrance from the main to the
States building. The Texas garden
of two acres, is favorably located
about two hundred feet from Texas
headquarters, on the main walk from
one to the other Of the main build
ings. In the center of the garden
will be placed the building to be us
ed by us as officers and ladies' par
lor.
The director general and chief Of
installation, together with the chiefs
of the other departments, were gen.
erous to us, and in giving us these
choice locations made no exactions
than that our great State may be
we'll represented. We, as the COM
missioners for Texas, assured the
management that our people would
be active and liberal in collecting
specimens for display from Texas ut
this great worlds fair.
We will not ship exhibits before
about the Goth of November. 1t is
asked that you collect articles for dis
play as rapidly as possible, and store
them at different points along the
lines of railroad and navigable wa
ters, and report both to me, at this
point. and to Col. Elliot at New Or
leans, articles and quantity collected,
and where stored, that we may in
due time place means of transporta-
ton at your disposal. With your
active cooperation we hope to have
at New Orleans a display Of the re-
sources and capabilities OF Texas sec
ond to no State in the Union.
Please reportregularly and prompt
ly about every ten days from now
until the first Of December.
Respectfully,
Z. T. GAMMAaE,

Just in its infancy, which, II made ="
success, will be a great advantage to
the town and country generally,
especially to the cattle men, that is
the Slaughter house and Refrigerator
Works. These works were built last
winter at cost of $l26, 6,O00, and have
capacity Of killing 1000 beeves, and
as many head of mutton, hogs etc,
per day: have an ice factory in addi-
ton that would enable them to manu-
facture theice necessary to refrigerate
and use in the refrigerating cars
when this meat is shipped, but could
manufacture sufficient quantity to
supply the town, were it necessary.
From some cause these works have
not been in operation, till recently,
and even now, they are only being
operated on small scale, killing as q
beginning, between 4Oand 80 beeves q
day. After this meat goes through
the necessary refrigerating process,
it is packed in refrigerating cars and
shipped to eastern markets.
