WHAT I SAW IN THE~UP-~ COUNTBY. .If there's a hole ia a' jour coats, I rede ye tent it." Aa enforced sojourn of six weeks in what is known to es as the ep-country, bas renewed my acquaintance with soaae conditions of life, and enabled ) ate to form that of others, a description j of all of which may be of interest to tbe readers of this journal. Greenville where I stopped two weeks, is the riebest city of the pied? mont region. It rs the herne cf many mea of large wealth, but unfortunately, there appears to exist among them a spirit similar to that which is slowly petrify ing Charleston. Rather than got oat and nish forward or into exis? tence enterprises which would advance tbe interests of the community and themselves especially, they prefer to ac eept savings' bank or other small returns for their funds. New York has reached the point where she can very weli afford ft Murray Hill aristocracy, but when towns like Greenville iusist upon a sim? ilar indulgence, particularly in this State, which has abundant room for the iWceessfnl employment of all its owe Waides any reasonable amount of other people's capital, a Sourishing crop of moss invaiiably appropriates the waste places which thoald be cultivated in the sore remunerative one of pluck and energy. The city government of Green? ville has eviaently been bad for seme years, as shown by the woeful condition of the streets, the openly expressed dis? satisfaction of the people, and, by way of example, the fact that the city has . jost been swindled to the extent of about $25,000 in the matter of electric fights. As we of Sumter are to make a asilar experiment, it ?3 to be hoped ^fiorexperience will be different, and I nave eegfefenec enough in those in charge of the business, to~feel confident that it will. Greenville is just com? pleting her new graded* school system, which promises to be a model. Money baa not been spared to make the accom? modations such as the needs of the city demand. I am inclined to think that the average intelligence of Greenville is greater than that of any other com? munity in the State. The city has long enjoyed exceptional educational facili? ties, and results have created a hunger for knowledge which can be appeased only by keeping these facilities abreast: of the times. I spent a day very pleasantry at the new Hotel Altamont, which crowns the summit of Paris j Mountain. The house was cot then complete hut has since opened with the most encouraging prospects. The loca? tion ts a natural resort for such as need reet and recreation, and will most cer? tainly attract as many as can be accom? modated. Flanked by such tremen? dously energetic towo3 as Anderson and Spartan burg, Greenville must reach down low and catoh a better hold or she will at an early day develop that vlf ?mum j morievs of respectability-an inclina-, lion to boast of former greatness. She must build the C. K. & \V. railroad or become an insulted way station of the Bichmond & Danville. For sene years past, grape culture j bas attracted much attention from tho mor? advanced agricultural thinkers of ! ?rreenvTe and Oconee counties. The climate and soil appear to be thorough- : ty adapted to the growth of the vino, j and tho time is not far distant ?hen most other crops must give place to il tn that section. Ten years ago, ?ine jards wore unknown, now thousands of gallons of wine are annually shipped from Greenville, and in the summer ' season, no table is too poor to afford an | abondance of grapes. The industry is j still in its infancy though macy carloads ; .f grapes are shipped Nur th and South, j Thus far it has been impossible to divest grape growers of the idea that sugar is j necessary to make good wine, but they j will undoubtedly discover that they j most look to claret wines alone fer their ; mose j. The grape industry ha2 advance d fur? ther in the neighborhood of \V'a:haI!u. ! khan elsewhere in the State. Mr. i Wieeking cf that place ships large ! quantities of fruit to Birmingham and ! on the day of my departure I saw Mr. j Wanner loading a consignment (to j Charleston I think.) This town for- j merly eoatroiied a large mountain trade j and was a shipping point for cattle, but^ toe extension of the Western North ! * j Carolina road has turnod much of lids . trade in another direction. The future ; of the place depends upon the wine and j ?tock industries. Numbers of high j grade horses and Sne mules are raised j aouaali}, and at a stock show in Pen dfetoo some day3 since, no less than ? sixty mule colts were shown in one lot. j A wine and distilling company has just j commenced business in Walhalla, and i some idea of its Srst seasons werk ruay j be obtained from t?e tact that it has made 1,000 galions of blackberry bran- ? dy alone. Walhalla is a very prosperous tow:; which annually furnishes lar^e o nan ci? ties of produce for the consumption of other places moro advantageously lo? caled from a commercial point of view, j It is, also, a summer resort for bau dreds frmu the coast region, and ranks ! among the pleasantest u?d healthiest of '. such re ?M? ti?. The grain and fruit crops of this sec? tion are the largest for many years, but thc season was too late for cotton. Chcohee Valley, in tho western part of Oconee county is the pn ttiest country ? ever saw. Extensive ?e?d3 of corn bear evidence t:- the thrift of thc people, while the circling Mountains furnish a background of varying and endless beau? ty to a picture which, has few equals in America. From this place I visited the exotto town of Highlands. N. C , cross? ing in a journey of '22 miles, portions of three States, and traversing a road which nothing but the energy and per? severance of a yankee could have con? structed. The town is situated at an altitude of about 4,000 feet and posses? ses a climate unrivalled for its dryness and evenness. The inhabitants are principally settlers from the Northern States. Thc only communication with the outside world is by stage "lines to Walhalla and Seneca-. Thc temperature is too low for the successful cultivation of anything but grass, clover and vege? tables, but these grew to perfection. Blackberries are perfectly green in August and English peas have just be? come large enough for table uso. Many boarding houses arc filled with guests during the summer, among which I can not do less than mention specially that of Mr. Smith, of Pennsylvania, where I received unstinted hospitality. Mr. W. F. B. llaynsworth was with me there and will join me in my remem? brance of our kind host and hostess. Highlands is certainly a model resort ior those aSictcd with pulmonary trou- j bles, and all seeking great altitude and freedom from dust, dampness and heat. The uniform kindness and polite? ness of ail tho up-country people will attract attention from the most care? less, and one cannot leave them with ausht but pleasant recollections of these and kindred virtues. in my wanderings, I found no place j where life can be spent more pleasantly and happily than in Sumter County ; nor did I note anywhere a more encour? aging prospect than now greets the pro? ducing cliss in our County. THE GALLANT SHEHMAK. We supposed that after the exit of Lynch and the coihpse of the Boston Syndicate, the Columbia Record had j resumed the garb of decency, but the following has a tendency to shake our ! preconceived opinion : A notable innovation on time honored cus- j toms will be made at the annual banquet cf the Army of tee Tennessee in Cincinnati. Ladies r.re incited to the banquet, and will sit in their places among the brave array vet- ; erans. At the head of the table will preside j that gay old boy, Gen. Sherman, whose gal j lan try in peace has been, in a different way j no lees renowned tana it vras ia war. The ! old general likes the Innovation. Bow the people of Columbia can read complimentary pleasantries in their city papers concerning the man who burnt their city, stole their property, abused their wives and children and then attempted to lie himself clear of J his villany, is beyond our eomprchen- j sion. It is pure hypocrccy for any citi- j 2en of this State to affect the slightest allowance fer W. T. Sherman. South ; Carolina can accept all other results of j the war except this Send of ?re and J starvation. ! As if to disprove all intisiaifoa that ] Shermsn is worthy the treatment of a j gentleman, the following appears in yesterday's papers : ST LOUIS, August 25.-A dispatch from Augusta, Ga., sa) s : The ouesticn, why did net Gen. Sherman coree to Augusta instead of going to Savan? nah when he made his march through Geor? gia, has been so often asked aud commented on, and without a satisfactory solution, that Mr. P. A Stovail. editor o'f the Chronicle, wrote to Gen. Sherman on the subject, and I now prints the General's reply, ?3 follows : My Dear Sir : I am just back f.-ju a visit ! to my daughter, who resides at Rosemont, near Philadelphia, and Sad your !?:ier of tlie I8:b. The '-March to the Ssa" from Atlanta WHS resoi "ed on r.f:*-r Hood had got well on bis way to Nashville. I then detached to Gea. Tnomas a force sufficient to whip Hoed, which he, in December, ISG4, verr hand? somely and cocclueive'y did. Still I had left a very respectable army, and resolved to join Grant at Richmond. The distance was one thousand miles, and prudence dictated a base at Savannah cr Port Royal. Our enemy had garrisons at Macon r.ad Augusta. I figured on r.oth rnd passed be? tween to Savannah. Thea rting north war;:, the saine problem pres? nted itself at Augusta and Charleston. : figured on both; but passed between. \ did not want to drive out Karrisons ahead of meat thc crossings of . the Sautee, Catawba and Pee Dee, Cape Fear, etc. The mon:*-::: I passed Col um: ia the factories, powder mills :.r.d chi stuft a -cumu? lated at Augusta were lozl lo the only Confed? erate armies left, Lee's a:.d Hood's.

It? <rar:is>lri was jas: where i: helped me.

Pack your trunks, ye pale dyspeptics ; hurry to these healing springs; Com?, ye niling, for its waters, are a cure for many things. Herc no vapore have we, vapors neither inner or external, But society ?nd writer, climate, everything supernal. Crowds of gaesUr, np in the hudreds, please our hosts and ni! our halls, But too crowded are they never to meet all demands ami ca!?3. We've amusements, walking, reading, flirt? ing, crokinole, ten pins, While each evening lo the dancers, call per? suasive vidins. Oh ! that German where beaus to tie on their aprons hasted. And in twisting, fumbling, twitching, half thc precious moments wasted, Many a gay aud sprightly dancer, on that sleek and waxen iloor, Game to grief just like the gatleys wrecked on Actinia's "fatal shore." Trooping off to ten pin alley, go the young ?biks, bright and glad. In their midst the gallant Captain, who can't play unless he's "mad." We've a brave and dauntless warrior, not afra: I cf daring deed, With a lady's slipper killed he "fierce and dreadful centipede." Recitations have ive, one of Charleston's elo? quent divines, Gave Macaulay's lay magnifique, beautiful and stirring hues. One could ahnosL see advancing, the white piume cf brave Navarre, A3 it iee the van at Ivry, gleaming like a guiding star. Then in sweetly mingled voices, clear as toces of silver bell, Came the note3 cf "Tired," followed by the jolly "Tars Farewell." And here I'll wreathe a garland for Newber ry's fav'rite sen, Silver-tongued and courteous has he many a fadeiess laurel won, Then came Castles in the Air, by no meaDS . least upon our roil, And then "Jane Courtcney" on our cars ia sweetest accents stole. And last, but certainly not least, we've a good samaritan, Only ours is a lady, while the ancient was a mau. For 'morg the sick and troubled she more than acts her part, And the Golden Rul?is written in big letters on her heart. L'?XCOKNUE. ?GIS.VN SraisGS, Aug. 26. 1839. We Lave been here now a little more than a wee!:, drinking the wonderful water and en? joying the delightful society fer which Glenn Springs has iong been noted. Everybody here seems inclined to be sociable, people get acquainted easily, and if one does not know anybody or docs not feel like talking, he can always find something to amuse, interest and instruct. The large parlor is seldom deserted escept at the fashionable hours of visiting the spring or attending the ball room, and those who take delight in gazing upon the charms of beauty or listening to music can be enter? tained there'by the hour. Those who seek the pleasure of converse will always find in the haiis or pir.zzas cr at the springs, groups of talkers where he can either join in or quietly listen, yon will find sometimes, a group of the iegal fraternity in one place, where bit3 of taw information can be picked up ; in another placea let of farmers ate talking crop and Alliauce; another group may be discussing the news of the day, others telling jokes or war reminiscences, and so on. You can easily saunter around and select your topic and find a seat. One of the topics when I first arrived, but which has now been drop? ped, was Cel. Dargan's .Mt. Clio Speech. Some of the lawyers seemed struck by the assertion that first grade intellect is no longer needed for that pri.-fcsiion. Yesterday being Sunday we had subjects of more or less serious and intellectual scope. One groop in winch 1 chanced, discussed the ten lost tribes of Israel, rnnning afterwards into Egyptian and Bible history, Lew Wallace, author of Ben Har, and lacraham, author cf the Prince of the House or David, being the writers, prin? cipally, referred to. I listened for H. Rider .laggards' Cieopr.tra to be mentioned ; bat it i was not. Another party, of which an oldi Charleston pilot and cx-bloekade-rurmerj seemed leader, discussed science and sense,/ Charleston bari cr. the jetties and their failure/ so far to acc.unpiiih any good, furnished the text. / 1 There wns preaching nt the Episeop:! Church here in thc morning, but the weathi r being bad net many went out. We ha? e two ministers in the Hotel, Rev. J. S. Cozbjy from Newberry, and a young minister Rei Stcedman. Eter. -Mr. Cosby preached ni^ht in the hotel parlor. The crowd 'nore is not quite as large when we came, a good many having gone off,' and the new arrivals for several days have been light. ?have heard of one cr two remarkable cures made by t!;e water here this season. A lady from Coi!e:on ?eft here a few days ajro who was seat herc by her physicians. _ She was taken oat of bed and brought here, and kept lier bed for a week pfter .trrivir.^-, bu: im-) proved rapidly, and at the end cf that time/ got up. Shr was soon able to walk to tho springs three times a day, and at the end ct three weeks h fi quite well, lier sickness wai a liver trouble. V Tiie shipment of water has grown to be a> large business, and almost every day since 1 have been here I have seen a four h ,c wagon go off heavily loaded wi:h boxes of water, h goes North as wei! as to all parts cf the . Svath. The Messrs. Simpson ar*; very attentive tc ike wants of their guests, am! have added a number of improvements to the buildings and grounds since ? was hero last. The hotel is well kept and thc fare good. I had the pleasure of meeting hero a few day3 ago Col. Rice, State Superintendent of Education. He v, as in the neighborhood for the purpose cf making an addrass at a meet? ing, and, it being convenient, he spent a day or.two here. He is very earnest in his work, and eav3 the people throughout the State are deeply interested in the matter of education. He linds the people always ^mentir? ?stem.s to his addresses, and he remarked upon the rapid increase in the number of applicants for beneficiary scholarships For instance he has held :!::ee yearly examinations for the Na-hville Normal Scholarships. There were respectively seven, fifteen, and forty-five, for the different years. He promised to let me know in time before his next visit to Sumter in ord< r that due r.??;ice v. ill ce ?iven.

PRIVATEER, SUMTER CO., August 23.-In a field un the Atlantic Const Line extension, the-vil?ageof Privateer is being built. It is about two miles from old Piivateer, by which the stage coachrs used io run about a half a century ago. Tue ''village" cow consists of only four houses, ono ot which is the resi? dence of the section rm-.ster's family. The situation is a pretty one and somewhat roll? ing. The railroad authorities seem lukewarm about putting a depot there, but it would be to their iuti-rcst to do so. It is a good healthy place for a Iowa ; a good deal of freight wouid be received there, and a depot there would be a great convenience to thc largest guano user? in the township. A depot would pay well at Privateer. Gaieties at Eose Hiil. The most prominent social e^ent cf the sea? son thus far was the hist bail given at Hose Hill, on the 22d in3t. by the young men of this neighborhood. The least I can say for it is that it bears favorable comparison with any similar occassion that has preceded it. It was given in the great hall at Rose Util, which was specially prepared and adorned for thc occasion. Beautiful women and chiv? alrous men, representatives of the best sochd element of this county , thronged the salon, and .were received and entertained in a style which wealth atone cannot accomplish uuhss supplemented by brains, tact and breeding. The ladies vied with each, other even more than usual in thc bewitching beauty and ele? gance of their costumes, among the more noticeable heinz those of Miss Smith, from Georgetown, Miss Bennet from Charleston, Miss Douglass from Columbia and Miss Moses from Washington. Thc grounds were illum? inated with chinese lanterns of various shades and Simon's band furnished the music. The committee were : W. E. Dick, Jr., D. M. Rothschild, S. M. Colclough. Money to Loan.
