Work will be commenced at once on the

future droughts may be successfully tided

A VIRGINIA EXPOSITION.
Business-Men Generally Approving the Idea
or an EXPOSITION In 1.sG.

The suggestion Of a Virginia Exposition
in 1856 has been well received by our
businessmen, and a great many OF them
have expressed desire TO go 10 work at II.
II is fact generally admitted and lamcnted
that our city and State are not quite ~
"liye" as they ought 10 be in this rush
ing, pushing age. An Exposition would
create n stir and force improvements that
would be Of lasting benefit. II is proba-
bic that after the election public meeting
will bC called to seriously consider the
matter. and il the idea is endorsed TO Sc
cure charter, perfect a plan OF opera
tons, ard 20 ahead
IL should be A VIRGINIA EXPOSITION in
truth-with space allotted to Alexandria,
Charlottesville. Danyile and North Dan
vile, Farmyile, fredericksburg. Gordons-
vile. Hampton, Newport's News. LeXlng-
ton, Lynchburg. Mancheste,, Norfolk, Pc
tersburg, Portsmouth, Richmond, Roanoke
City, Salem, Suffolk, South Boston, staun-
ton, Williamsburg, Winchester, Wythe-
willie. and each town and county in tae
State.
The city OF Richmond and the merchants
OF Richmond would literally subscribe;
the railroad and steamboat companies doing
business here would no doubt be generous
IN Contributions, tue state Oh lFStnli,
which has been so backward In making
practical exhibit OF her resources, would
probably clothe her Agricultural Depart
ment with power to have her well repre-
sented, and each city and county OF the
State ought TO be willing TO make a small
expenditure TO show the world what it has
specially to attract capital and settlers.
once resolved upon and put in the hands
OF young, energetic, and hopeful men, we
could have here in Richmond an exhibition
Of agricultural, mining and manufacturing
products that would surprise the world,
and no part Of the world more than our
selves.
There are thousand, Of people in this
country. and particularly in she South.
who would like TO come 10 Richmond. It's
historical associations are very great. The
soldiers OF both armies, now rapidly dimln-
ishing in numbers, who fought at our gates,
would like 10 revisit this vicinity and again
look upon the fields where they camped.
the ground where they fought, the roads
that they marched. They have never had
that opportunity as mOnth,of exposition
and cheap rates would give It 10 them.
We want something toarouse the spirit OF
our people. and 10 make them think We'll OF
themselves and make the world think well
OF them. Will an Exposition accomplish
that end! II so, let 1t be resolved upon.

made.
The Attorney-General then filed petitions
