Riown, the chief olerk of the agricultural department, lias sketched for the Netct and Courier the advantage*, present and prospec tive, followlug the exhibit* tuadfr at New Orleans by the 8ontberu State#, and particularly South Carolina. lfc> i ?ays: '% ?: ? 4 ! Of course, it is loo soon to tnhke predictions as to the result of the Bx positipn. so tar as .the. material hi tore* t of Am State ft consorted. bat some benefits'are already apparcht. In a general way',-1 may say that the South* eru exhibits have onthused the South ern people and astounded th'o people of other sectlous of the Union. The Exposition has undoubtedly fully domohstrated> the superiority of the Sou{h .over any other seetXon of the country in natural resources. The beautiful exhibits of tho Northwostcrn States are composed chiefly of cereal productions, the Paeifio States and Territories of minerals, the Northern and Eastern States of manufactured products and machines, showing the inventive genius of these energetic peoplo, wlulo tho Southern States ex hibit everything thai is shown in tho other States and many things that arc not exhibited in those States. The mineral exhibits of North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Virginia and Ten* ncsseo aro equal to those of California, Arizona, Colorado, Dakota or New Mexico. The grain exhibits of South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and Kentucky aro as complete and attractive as those of Minnesota, Kan* sas, Nebraska, Iowa or Illinois. Tho timber oxhibitsot anv of tho Southern States are not surpassed by those of any of tho great lumber States of the Union. The exhibits of MANUFACTURED PnODUCTS in the Southern States' departments fttrnikh conclusive proof that tho North* ern and Eastern States no longer enjoy a monopoly In that direction. The largest exhibits of agricultural ma chinery aro made by lveutuckv manu facturers, while Machinery liall con tains numerous evidences of the in genuity of Southern mechanics. So that in all the principal departments of tho Exposition the 8outh is competing successfully with any part of tho Union. In tho special exhibits tho >8outh is ftv ahead. Louisiana sugar is as superior to tho Miunesota product as is possiblo for 0110 article to surpass another in excelioncc. Louisiana salt Is practically without a rival. South Carolina rice' heads tho' list. Florida defeated California in the contest for premiums for citron fruits. North Carolina golden loaf tobacco is un equalled. Tennessee marble is the ridhest and most.boautifUl at tho Expo sition, with the possible exception of the North Carolina flesh-colored speci mens. Alabama iron is as superior as it is abundant, and her iron deposits and coal fields aro iiiexhoustlblo. Ar kansas and South Carolina mako the most varied and oxtousivo display of frpits, apples, peaclies, pears a?d grapos of any States IhHho Union. Tho soa' island cotton of South Caro lina is not even approximately ap proaohed by..tho staple grown any* where else in the *vdrla* while tne phosphates of our Stato command the atteiijion of,tho scientist, tho man.of eommerce, and oxpecially the agrlcul* tnrist. If tho exhibits of all the othor States Wfero grouped together they auld then be considerably below ftie ' f rn Statesjiv the variety of their ? of .w? So tioafnasnf -ang^CTBrarei^- vmtEY *' ttr tlfb; Exposition, nncl it is certainly reasonable to suppose will glvo a gi'ont impetus to the. devolopment of Socith ern resources. The commissioners from the South are; enthusiastic over tne prospoot, ano are unanimous in tho opinion that thoir States will bo im- i inensely benoflted by thoir exhibits in the near future. Coining down to particulars, it is hard tQ.aay wlmt immcdiato good lm* 1 beon done, but I may mention some things of probable profit to South Car olina. Some few weeks since the Japanese commissioner called At the South Car olina department for information re garding the , ; rnospifATR: noon of the State. He said that he was a member or the Japanese bureau of industry and. under a commission from that bureau, Imd been for two years in Lomtyn investigating the tnaiiufeoture ana uko of commercial manuros. In his investigation he had found allusions tb the South Carolina phosphate de posits, lint tho inforirlfUion ho had been nb!o to obtain was vory meagro. lie examined the rook on exhibition in tlio State department and the chemical* used In ite manufacture. He found that fish scrap was?one of tho ingredi ent* Used for ammoniaiing purposes, and he at onco expressed the opinion that as there awl millions of ton* of It in Jftpiin It might bo transported to South Carolina and exchanged for phosphate ruok, and If suoh an.arrange mont could lio made it Would open a I splendid market for tho rook and de velop , an Industry of considerable magnitude*! HO returned to his own I oxhlbit and , brought tho: . commission two sample# of the sorAp alluded to. This was seht to ?ro(ossor Chaxsl.'the j ohemilt of tho department of rfgrioiil* turo, who AtiAlyltod it and reported! that Its commercial Value was about 1 36 per eent. higher than (he scrap now used by tho manufacturers of fertl Uxors.;, This was communicated to the Japanese commissioner and ho ex pressed the belief that whlMfthls chem ical test showed the superiority of the | ^Mpaneoo article, It oo?M be !?

THE WOOD BXfeffilT has attracted alu\ost as much attention as the phospliate display. Lumber roen fVoin all sections of the coitntry have visited the Exposition and have beon pleased with the exhlhite from all the Southern States. *fn the South Carolina department there are abopt 140 speclmons of native,woods, all of merchantable sice, and they attract much attention. Inqulrlos relating to the Itmbfer resources of the Stato have been frequently made, and those To* vesti:.'utioi)K will no doubt result In a rapid development of the lumber In* dustry at no distant day; The.exhibit of manufactured goods and the maps of tho water powers~6f''the Mate have attracted attention to the advantages afforded by the State for factories of ovory description, and this should re*, suit in bringing capital here for In vestment iu suoh enterprises. Tbe< varied agricultural productions of the Stato illustrated by the exhibit have given a correct Ippresslon regarding our agiMcultnral capabilities,' and the Interest that has been shown by visi tors iii Ihls division convince me that It will be tho means of inducing an influx of - PKQ8PEHOU8 BMAI.L FARMERS from I ho Northwestern States and elsewhere to South Carolina. Tho display of ores and building stones will, 1 Am Satisfied, cause the develop ment of our rcsources in that, direction. Our special exhibits, rlc$, nayalstorcs and fish. have been of ima)6n|o benefit to the Stater in showing the variety of our productions and odr - natural wealth, while the exhibit of birds and i animals froin tbe.Clun'lelton Musenm | has not been excelled in the quality of the specimens ovon by the splendid displays of tho Smithsonian Institute. | and have "not been equalled bv <Ji?t of I anv State.
