Greenville and Columbia Ball road.?The Passenger Depot in this City. To s conversation had with Maj. 21 Boss, President of the Road, we learn that this public institution is improving in business popularity. For ths five months just expir ed there hae been an excess of nearly $18,000 above the receipts of the same period of the last year; and for the month of July just closed, the receipt* have been onethird greater than for July, 1869. It ' givee us pleasure to make these state- i menU; and from what we know of Maj. I Boen, feel ourselves entirely safe in satnr- I leg the publie that this exeeilent condition for the prospects of theroad will be maintain- i ed by him if the end ean be secured by low ] passage and freight rates; and although those I have been considerably reduced during ths i part tlx months, jet we feel sure they will yet be more popularised by other reductions to be made from time to time. This poliey will undoubtly secure a large increase ot . business, and we hope the approaehing fall , trade will prors it. ' t Mr. Isaac Stxvkxs, the new incumbent at f the Depot here, is proving himself an efficient t officer and courteous and obliging gentle, c man. It gave us satisfaction a few days since, ] to observe tbo change he is making with the y Passenger Depot. The rooms have been re" modeled, the ticket delivery torn away 1 and replaced by a new one of different style and more convenience. In the Baggage Room, thinge present quite a different aspect.
