THE GREAT SHOW.
Progress Of Preparation for the New Orleans
Exposition.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. S.--Director-Gen-
eral Burke has completed full report Of the
progress Of preparation for the Worlds Ex-
position. Ths main building has been COM
pleted and exhibits are now arriving for in.
stallation. The extension to the machinery
hall, an iron building, requires only sashes
aud flooring, making that hall about 1,94S
feet In length. But little space remains In
the machinery department. The Director
General notifies State Commissioners that
their exhibits can come along at any time.
The building will receive exhibits to the 10th
Of November.
ALL PARTS REPRESENTED.
Every State and Territory is now repre-.
scented. The erection of stables Is progress.
ing rapidly, stalls b ,ing provided to show l..
600 horses. Suitable cattle and horse barns
and stock avenue half q mile from the
track are erected. A Wisconsin dispatch
patch says Jay Eye See and Phallas will be
exhibited. Arrangements are being made
for noted horses. The stables are 1 $40 feet
long. The live stock exhibits will be the
largest ever made before.
THE MEXICAN EXHIBITS
Left the City of Mexico Oct. 81 via the Mex
lean Central railroad aud FL Paso. The
Commissioners of France, Mexico, Spain,
Brazil, Portugal, Japan, Honduras and Gust-
emala are here arranging for the installation

to adjourn the 18th Of December, so that the
Exposition may be opened in the presence Of
the Presidents Of the United States, Mexico,

departments and foreign representatives..
1. AwARM FEELING FOR ARTHUR.
The action Of the Board Of Management
10 deferrng the opening until President Ar
thur can inaugurate the Exposition is warm
ly approved by the community. His warm
support Of the Exposition Is appreciated all
oyer the South, and the management declare
It will be source Of intense disappointment
to the people IL opened without him. The
delay will enable delinquents to get In POSI-
ton and avoid much of the confusion incl
dent to the opening of the Exposition.
Burke reported to the management yesterday
that II they would roof the Park over 277
acres and give him 90 days, the applicants

How the New YORK Vote 10 Counted.
New YORK, Nov. 6.--The Times, while
charging the Western Union with fabricating
monstrous untruths yesterday, says: There
is no danger Of New York not being counted
- 1t has been cast. A miscount could only
happen, under the laws of New York, II
there were any election districts In which
there was no minority, and therefore no rep
resentative of the minority to watch the
count, or II that representative had been
bribed TO acquiesce in false count. This
law provides for an inspector of election on
the part OF the minority In every election dis
trict In the state, and such representative
was, - . matter Of fact. present in every
election district In the State on Tuesday
night. The inspectors are not permitted to
pass on the legal sufficisncy OF ballots put
into the boxes. They are to forward spec
linen Of each kind Of ballots used with their
return TO the supervisors of the county. A
record IL kept Of the announcement Of the
count In every election district, and ~ the
function Of the supervisors TO whom the re-
ports are made is simply TO add the totals OF
the election districts, any discrepancy be-
tween the vote Is announced by the supervi-
sors and sum of the district totals would be
detected and exposed At once, and would
subject the supervisors to severe punishment.
No doubt, upon proof Of discrepancy,
court would issue mandsmus to the super.
visors to make . recount on arithmeticsI
principles and not upon partisan sentiments.
The whole business of counting votes lis
done in daylight from the first step TO The
last. Election frauds In this State have been.
generally confined to this city, andtol casss
In which the inspector appointed on behalf
Of the minority has been in collnsion With
his associates. There Is absolutely no fear
that the vste Of the rural districts will not
be counted rs cast. ara /.

they came out of the woods, and we opened fire
on them, but did not check their advance until
within two rods of US. At this moment old

An IilinOisan Tells the Story of the Part His
Division Took in the Battle.

To THE EDITOR: s. s. Cane, 9TH Mo. Cav,
makes mistake in relation to the composition
of Herron's Division at Prairie Grove, Ark.
The First Brigade of that division was COM
posed of the 18th Iowa, 20th Wis, 24th Ill. and
one battery of the I'd Mo. Art. It was COM
manded by Col. w. w. 0rme. Again, he is
mistaken when he says we received orders to
re-enforce Gen. Blunt at Cane Hill We
(Herron's Diyision) were at Wilson's Creek !;
Tottens Division was about ID miles southwest
from there. Schofeld, the commander OF the
Army of the Frontier, was at st. Louis. About
10 o'clock a. m., Dec. A. 1862, Gen. Heron re-
ceived from Gen. Blunt a note of this pur-
port: Thirty thousand rebels under Hind
man and Marmaduke have US hemmed in here.
If you are ever going to help us, do it now"
Heron sent orders to Totten's Division Tot
ten was not with his command TO be ready 70
march, and sent word to Sehofield that he was
going to relieve Biount ar Cane Hill. At 2
o'clock ON the day mentioned we (Herron's Di-
yision1 broke camp, and about dark we passed
through the camps of Totten's Division as they
were about to take up the line of march for the
same place. We marched day and night till
Sunday morning, the eth, about 8 o'clock,
when we struck the rebel army, which had
left Blunt and met us nine miles from Cane
Hill, at Prairie Grove. | know but little about
the fighting in our (Ormes) brigade, which
was on the left of our line of battle, and the
24Gb ILLINOIS on the left OF the brigade. Our
regiments first position was on the east side of
narrow field the rebels on the opposite side
and on higher ground. Two guns of the I'd
Mo. Art. took position ON the right of the oath,
and somewhat in advance where the rebels
captured one of the guns, which was afterward
retaken by the Oath Ill. About II o'clock the
18th Iowa and Goth Wis, supported by the 9th,
made charge across the field into the timber,
where the two former regiments were cut to
pieces, losing many men killed and wounded,
which left the oath to defend, with the help OF
few of the 18th Iowa, all of that part of our
line formerly held by the brigade; but we held
on like grim death until about 3 o'clock, when
we were slowly driven back by the force OF
numbers. In the fight, till 4 o'clock in the
evening. we had 5000 infantry and "a pieces OF
artillery, and the Johnnies twenty eight to
thirty thousand, with 20 guns, but before A
o'clock their last cannon was disabled. At 4
o'clock Blunt, with 5000 infantry and "a more
guns, came in OH our right, and from then till
dark there was music in the air. We lay on
our arms till morning, but during the night
we learned from deserters that the rebs were
running, and, after three days and nights
march and days fighting. we were not sorry
