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. The entire eontepta there have '
been removed, new loeka fixed to the doors, 1
new shutters furnished to the windows, *
and a general repair evinces itself, besides ^
which new and elegant ebairs and lounges,
of substantial make, are supplied for the
comfort and convenience of passengers.? ^
To crown the whole, the entire building ^
both inside end outside, has been handsome^
ly repainted, and the entrance to it, whleb
was formerly dull and dead, praaenta an at
rvacnveness that delights, md on* which U
likely te make good impression upon stran- j,(
gar* visiting Greenville, the important* of 0<!
which Mr. Btevxn* gcemi to properly 8f

Call from an old Friend. 1
We received a call yesterday, from Mr
Gxocox H. Moomkt, a native of Greeavi1le't
but now resident of Griffin, Ga., where be
has been residing for the past tsa or twelve
years. He is connected with the large
Furniture House of Moonet, Botd A Co.*
which employs extensive capital, and of
great energy and busVneS* progress. Grif '
fin has now a population of between five '
and six thousand inhabitants, but at the 1
oloae of the war had ooly about 8,600 or
1,000. We wiah our friend all the auoecas
ha ia meeting.
Good Belreshlng Beta.
On yesterday (Tuesday} evening, about
half past three o'clock, it commenced raining
and continued for an hour or so, in
pretty boavy flow, accompanied with livid
atreaks of lightniog and loud cltDS of
thundor. The ground in thie immediate 1o
oality, being dry nod parched, drank it in
as a famishing man. It will revive droop*
ing vegetation, and is still in time to do
corn much good. This is a fine eeaeon for
sowing turnips, and every roe, let his patch
be large or small, should sow his ground.?
Those who have not seed, ran procure them
of Mr. Watson or Mr. Stexx.
Although it has been very dry about
town, yet such has not been the ease, we
believe, throughout the County.
A Large Cotton BtaUc.
Mr. A. W. Lamas, of our City, has ex*
hiblted in our offiee, a Cotton Stalk, of his
own raising, which is of nnnsual circumference,
being at least seven h-et. It had
on it ninety four wall formed squares, and
was vigorous and growing. This stalk iaof
the Dickson variety, and its prolifia.
neaa well sustains the name. Mr. Lamas informs
us that it with others, came up on the
12th of May, ha having planted one half
sere, using the Dickson Fertiliser, in the
proportion of S00 lbs. per aere. We do not
remember of ever having examined a finer
specimen. ' 1

were directed more particularly to the wis"

I am anre, all ean testify.
The Rev. Mr. AUaway then addressed

Uscourses, life and eharaoter, that charity

were well adapted to the ocoasion, and who

know hira.
Mr. Stepp was followed by Rev. Dr. Mealy,
the mere mention of whose name is sufficient
to let every one know who was not
present that a great intellectual treat wai
enjoyed on that occasion. Dr. Manly spoke
very eDeouragingly to the old aa well as the
yonng. And though he intimated that he
had not a very large family, yet he bad
enough to prevent him from becoming just
at this time an emigrant for the far West.
After Dr. Manly concluded, another good
old hymn waa snng by ona of the Sunday
schools, and then the benediction was pronounced,
and leave-taking of friends and
brethren commenced. All left quietly and
happy, and with the wish and prayer that
many anion Sunday school celebrations may
be enjoyed by the peopte like the Standing

will long be remembered by all the people
who were fortunate enough to be a partaker
of this bappy occasion.
The marshals of ths day?Dr. Bennett

Teacher*' Convention.
Mettrn. Kdilor*?The Teachers' Conven
tlon of Spartanburg County having Just
closed a very InUreeting eceeion at thia
place, I send yon a brief account of its pro
oeedings. And here tot me orgs upon tha
teachers of every county I the Stato the
importance of these meetings. Could they
havo been present at Iho disoussions of yea*
Iterdsy and to-day, no arguments of mine
would be needed to eonvlnco them of the
Importance of tbe*e conventions to the
eanse of education in oar ova land.
The Convention (which is now a permanent
organization) was organise! by the
( election of the following officers, viz: Rev.
( R. H. Reid, President; Prof. J. H. Carlisle,
of WofFord College, Viee President; Wm.
C. Klrklaod, Principal Reidville Male High
Srbool, Seeretaiy > and Mr. W. F. MeCartha,
Assistant.
About thirty teachers enrolled their
, names ; after whieh the ohjeets of the Con*
, vcntion were set foflh In an address by the
! President, Rev. R. H. Reid. The subject
( " Physical Education * wee then announced^
and Rev. C 8. Beard introduced sa the first
I speaker. This addrese was followed by
brief remarks from Prof. A. 11. Lester, ProfCarlisle
and others.
I After a reeeeeof one hoar, the Convention
, again assembled, and State Superintendent
Hoa. J. K. Jilson delivered an address upon
I the general subject of education.
The subject of M School Discipline'' was
tKnn Islrpn nn sm) m 41?
sued. AH seemed to sgree in thin, however,
that, at a general thing, the law of
kindoeee ia to be preforred ; but that in ex,
treme eases the teacher ahould resort to the
, rod.
Mr. N. F. Walkor being iotrodueed, read
a very interesting essay on the " Mode of
Inatraction for the Deaf and Dumb." The
hour having arrived, the Convention ad*
journed until nine o'clock to-morrow.
The first subject announced for discussion
next morning waa "School Houses," and
Mr. Bamuel Lancaster was introduoed as
the leading speaker. A very sensible essay
was read upon this subject; after which it
waa generally discussed by the members of
the Convention. The remainder of ths
morning session was spent in discussing the
" Best Mode of Teaobing Spelling and Head,
ing." This diseasslon was highly entertaining
and lns'.rnctive. Nor waa it altogether
grave and sober, for frequently Ike \
audience wee convulsed with laughter ae
some one related bis ludicrous experienee.
The first subject taken up this afternoon
was tbe " Relation between Parents and
Teachers Prof. Leeter being the leading
speaker. This address was followed by remarks
from several others, urging a htarly
co-operation between parent and teaeher. 1
Prof. Carlisle now followed in an ad.
dress on tbo " Personal Qualifications ef I
Teachers." This was a powerful address,
and ellelted recast ks from Prof. Lester.? ,
The aext speaker. Rev. B. B. Jones, being j
absent, ProC Carlisle male a short address (
upon the " Moral and Religious Influence of |
Teaehere." 1
These were the main topics that earns up
for discussion, but nearly every department j
ef teaching reeeived some attention. The
meeting adjonrned to meet in August, 1871( '
| and ths teachers wsnt horns, feeling deeply ,
impressed with the responsibility of their
booorsble vocation. No doubt the infla- j
mm of tbie meeting will mod b? felt by J
erar one thousand eeboiara, in vnriom parte
of oar eouatry.
