Messrs. Editors, if you never visited Green-i'le, you are not at a loss to know w hy it is so widely famed as a most de.-ira- ble summer retreat. 'Ihink of the many eminences in and around the place, crowu- ed with snow-white residences, embowered with trees and shrubbery of the rivers and falls of tbe trees w hich line the side-walks of the cold water and Dure air and of i the unsurpassed mountain view, and you do not wonder that those accustomed to swamp- iiiostjuitous and tad-poles, should 2"'jir those sylvan shades. j The Greenville aud Columbia Railroad was completed a few months ago, and the ; increase of population and bu-incss here, is; likely to he as great a it bus teen recently m vharloite. 1 he locomotive whistli tiic crowded streets, and the new buildings iu the course of construction, all plainly iudi- cate that this is the ago of improvement. It is fortunate that something has occurred to aroule the gooil people ot this pleasant lit- tie town to action; for until lately, they seem to have given rather an Aiitiuomian interpretation to that scripture which says, " Hi' content uitli sic ii lungs as ie have" And even now, the great hvpe of the place seems to be in her literary institutions. Most of the rt-al estate is held by individuals, and adventurers cannot procure lots on which to nut improvements, without pavinL' what is conceived to be exorbitant prices, That this is an unfortunate policv we need , not stop to urgue. There has long been a male and also a female academy here, but tbe former has becti well nigh superceded by the Furtnan University, which is said to be enjoying a high state of prosperity, and which, under the control Ot tbe Uaptists, embraces both a literary aud theological department. The female Academy is likely also to bo meryed into a Kiuaie College, under the control of the same reugious denomination. 1 he Bap-1 lists. Methodists. IWhvteriaus arid l-.'nis- ! copalians, all have Churches here. The former are mo numerous, aud the latter ari? finishing a largo brick Church which is au ornament to tbe place, The most imposing residence in Green- villi-, is that of Waddy Thompson. Ap- pi oaching the village from the North-Ea-t, joj a-cend a hill mea.-uiing about a half mile from its base to its summit, which ii graced by a larje, neat, but not very fine mansion. 1 c:;uocu grounds arc. ample beyond what is usual, and ornamented with a variety ol trees, whose boughs cast their cool shadow upon the green sward below. This eminouce, overlooking the village and surroundiug country, combining to much natural and artificial bcauly, looks more like the Elysium of a prince than auyibing else. During our sojourn here, the writer h:u been forcibly impressed with the changes which have occurred in tho community within the last six years. Ihcu he was ae- quainted well nigh with the entire popula- ti"U ; nov, nearly every face is a strange one. It is thus with the earth which we in- habit. Those who occupy it at auy given time, very soon make room for their sue- cessors. uut your corresponueut must close 'this hasty miscellaneous epistle, by subscri- biug himself. Respectfully yours, The New Post Route Act. The Wash ington National Intelligencer says that ths act on this suhiect, pa.s.-ed by Congress a day or two ago, combines several iinpoi taut advantages, lu tbe first place, it enumer ates and rc-euacts all the legal post roads in one bill, instead of leaving them dispersed as now through the laws of forty or fifty years.
