1t would be well for merchants,
and people generally, to exercise
the utmost vigilance, for there are
good reasons to believe that this
section Of the state is HOW infested
with an organized band of thieves,
ever on the alert for opportunities
to ply their nefarious vocation.

The North. Central. and south 6meri-
can Exposition.

Mr.. Louis b. McWhirter, special
commissioner for the American Expo
sition at New Orleans, La, called upon
Governor Cameron yesterday to urge
him to appoint commissioner to repre-
sent this State in this enterprise.
The present Exposition Association
is the successor Of the Exposition Of
last year. 1t has the grounds and
buildings and the exhibits of twenty
three States to begin with, and will be
able TO make a far more satisfactory ex-
hibition than before.
A steam railway line is now in pro-
cess Of construction from the city TO
the grounds, and one Of the chief causes
of i'll success in the former exhibition
will be removed.
The present company has a capital OF
100000. Its leading object is TO de-
yelop more intimate trade relations be-
tween Central and South America and
the United States.
If the State Of Virginia, or the Vir-
ginia manufacturers acting together
determine. to make an exhibit, the Ex-
position will place $4,000 in the hands
Of our commissioner to aid in the un
dertaking.
Our people have been too back
ward in advertising the resources o
the Commonwealth. This Exposition
seems to offer an opportunity wher,
Virginia may make new and better
beginning.
The Exposition opens Noyembei
10, 1855, and closes April !, lsSG.

TtsS Fail TO HIT PIIe. and by Poor Battery
Work Get Beaten 100.
The second and last Of the games
between the Virginias and Westmin-
sters' which was witnessed by only
about 200 persons, was easily won by
the former by the score Of : to 0.
Dnscoll, who pitched for the Westmin-
sters when they won a game each from
the Baltimores and Nationals, was put
in the box, and while in the first six
innings he held the Virginias down to four
hits, he was very wild. and although
catchers were changed in the eighth in
ming neither was able to hold him, and
the result Of the game was largely due
TO the poor battery work. Pyle's pitch
ing was exceptionally fine. lie retired
seven men on strikes, and allowed only
three hits TO be made off him. In Tate
he found fine support, and, while
the Virginias had four errors, they play
ed sufficiently well to keep any Of their
opponents from crossing the home-plate,
and only two got as far as third base.
Tate led in batting, and added to his
laurels by superior throwing to second.
Pyle made several very pretty stops,
for which he was literally applauded.
While Householder made two errors
he played a good game on first, and
Greenwood and Corcoran each atoned
for their errors by making good plays
at opportune times, and the latter
added to his glory by driving ball
among the carriages between left aud
centre-feld, on which he made home
run. Zecker played well on short. as
did Miller on second and Clabaugh on
first.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch D.:
| fad in the Richmond Whig Of the
2lst instant the following statement
contained in a card Of Nessrs. Sands &
Bryan, counsel in large number Of
coupon cases recently decided in the
Hastings Court OF this city:
Prom our conversation with coun-
SCI representing the Auditor, the i'm
preston made upon us was that these
judgments would not be paid before
the election"
! am firmly Of the belief that never
made any remark that could bear such
construction. certainly have no
recollection of so doing. If ! made
any such remark it was in Jest in a
friendly conversation. But | repeat
that have no recollection Of having
made any such remark, and am salts
fed that | did not.
Nessrs. Sands & Bryan well know,
as do the officers at the Capitol, that
my s4%ice not to pay these judgments
was based entirel5- on legal grounds.
| considered the manner in which Judge
Latham - punched" thirty or forty OF
these cases together not only an ex-
tr,ordinary but an illegal proceeding.
| should certainly have continued to
advise that the judgments should not
be paid if Judge Latham had not
wrongfully refused TO let my motion.
to set them aside go upon the record,
and thus deprived the State Of its
chance of redress in a higher court.
Very respectfully,

Counsel in coupon cases.

New Mozart Hall.

The new Mozart Hall is rising in ma
jestic proportions and is now nearly
two stories above the Eighth-street
level. 1t will have a handsome exte-
rior and a commodious and elegant
interior. The only thing to be regret
ted i. that the building is not on Broad
street; but that could not be. The
Association just could raise enough
money TO erect it on the old site.
