" The woman's Magazine." REMINISCENCES OP TIIB CQUHTY QFQREEMVtLlEi BY EX GOVERNOR B. F. PERKY. [continued from last wkick ] Dr. John Crittenden moved to Greenville in 1817. I have frc quently heard him speak of a ball given in the village shortly after lie came here. The managers had employed a good woman to furnish the supper. After arranging the table to her satisfaction, at an early hour in the evening, she sent for Mrs. Crittenden to look at the table and suggest anv improve tneut she might think advisable in the arrangement of dishes, &c.? / The first thing that attracted her attention was a huge dish of bacon and cabbage in tlio centre of the table. Mrs. Oritte nden very gent? 1 it . ? it ?? V milieu unit buc (UOU^iit a owttur to remove that dish, as 6hodid not think it looked well on the table, ?nd the young ladies might make "***%** iMitriiKr Poiiv.l I'L'ii 11 hi ill f it. Then 11 ?*? '??hiomible, said Dr. Crittenden, to open tut Hit hour or two before sunset, and dance all night. This must have been a* bard task on the 4th of July, when tho thcnnometor was at ninety. The oi l Court House, standing in the middle of tho 9trcct, was the ball room, whero all danc ing parties came off. And the same room was used tor a church, as well as a temple of justice. It would soem, therefore, that the vil lagers,'in those days, had an eye {or this world and the next both. They were not disposed to lose pight of either; just ice pleasure and I'efiglon were administered and enjoyed in tho same temple. Card play ng was universal at that time ir. the community. There were very fow who cared to read, and this gatno was a pleasant wuy of killing ti.ne; gambling for inon oy was too common, hvery gain mer there? was a faro hank opened at night above the billiard room, which wa9 called the war oflico, and belonged to Col. Toney, and stood on the ground now occupied by lawyers oflices. Thero was a set of gamblers who iodc the cir cuit regula ly with the lawyers, ginger-cake wagons, and lino stallions. In this respect a great im provmont has taken place, lbit there is a vulgar habit, now uni versa!, which was rarely known then. I never saw a gentleman or even a vuIvai-Shii ?m..b!nn. ?? r'Pv in thoso days. Very seldom indeed was a cigar smoked. Col* ^onoy was ?lie onlv habitual smoker* that I saw. *Now evory one has his pipo or his cigar.? There is certainly much less drinking. One vico succeed* another, like disease in the medical world In looking over the criminal docket, it is amazing to see how iii<j[u?ii( me crime 01 noree stealing was in tho latter part ot ti>u eighteenth and beginning of tho nineteenth centuries. Judge Clayton said lie could always mark the progress of civilization in tho upper Counties of Georgia, by the records of the courts: First, t hero were cases of horse stealing, homicides nod assault and batteries, thon < a no perjuries, forgeries and counterfeiting, which indicated a stop in the progress ot civil ization and refinement ! In tho early history of the tipper country, hotse stealing was not confined to common rogues of low degree, but men of position nnd property wore engaged in it. I remember bearing of a conversation between lawyer Hja'v and a Colonel who lived on Tugaloo liiver. Air. Shaw, enquired of the Colonel, bow be came to bo so deaf. The Col. replied, 44 by lying out of cold nights to s'cal horses." 44 Great God," said Air. Shaw, 41 you never stole ;Thorse, Colonel?" 44 Yes, I have stolen more horses than you arc worth, Air. Shaw," was the frank reply of t^e Colonel. It is very exti aordinary that Greenville, the third town in the State, lor population, wealth, commerce and prosperity, should newer have had a batik established in the Community, whilst many of tho adj ining Counties and towns have one or two. At an ea:!y period of our village history, there wore wealthy men who kept a large capital to loan on long and easy terms. This supplied the means of procuring money without a bank.? Captain Cleveland was nno of our lirst bankers. He withdrew his capital from c inmercc nnd was unwilling to invest it in manufactures or in negroes, llis lands wore cultivated by tenants, and lie thought more profitably than they could be^y slave labor. The money which almost every'"other person would have invested in negroes to cultivate his lands, he proposed l.tliil liter t\t\ nri wul e/./?it elf ? of V/II ' 'V* OV-V-ll i llj ? U? OV/ ? Cll per cent. The amount which ho had loaned out was very lmge.? The eainc practice was adopted afterwards hy Captain Choice, Coi. Ilokc, William' Jacobs and Mr. Norton. This supplied the wants of tln-sc who wished to borrow money, and removed the necessity of a bank. Exchange, for many years past, could always be bad ot Messrs. Heat tie. Ilcnce* if you wanted to borrow money, or wished funds iu New York or Charleston, you could bo accommodated without going to a hank.' I3ut wo rather think tli.it the wants of this Community will soon demand a change in this particular. For a great many \*cars Greenville County was exclusively a grain growing District. Very little cotton was cultivated, and the Western stock furnished a ready market for all the surplus corn.? In tliis respect, there has been a groat change. Tho driving of live stock tbroncrli the o.mntv lino !?? o ' - V? '"~t , a grout r"on*nrc. roused, and ilic tarinoio liJWQ turned tlioir attcntion to the cultivation of col ton.? For thirty years I never 6a\v a bag of olton brought bore f?r sale.? Hut thousands of bags have been ""hi during the past tew years. Hv means ??i >?tv (|ue cr0p9 are made annually. In the early settlement of Greenville, a large portion of the lauds was covered with reed and cane b akes. They havo now entirely d ^appeared. .The soil on the creeks, rivers and branches is still fertile,-but the lip-lands are very much exhausted. Until recently no farmer thought of manuring bis lands. Ileclearod tl cm, wore them out, and cleared again or moved off to a new country. [CONTINUKD NKXr WKKK ] FOR TUB GRERNVILLE ENTERPRISE. Incidents of a Trip to the West. Fort Kearney, Nebraska, ) n ?. ? a. i ? a? ? r oepi. loin, lo/i. ) Dear Enterprise?I was con tin nally hearing ho. much from settlors and travelers about the great Valley of the Platte, that I determined to visit and make a some what examination of this beautiful ana tortile country. The ValIpy on the main river extetids about 600 miles, due west, from Oinatia. There are north and south forks, having their source several hundred miles in t h o Ilocky Mountains. How mighty must have been the Plutonic and aqueous agencies that produced these grand snow-cappod e 1ovationsl The history of tho cosmogony tells us, that there was a time, when tho 4.4 mountains skipped liko rams, and the little hills like lain!)*." What a grand sight it wonld be to you or I to has thoftn n'd mnnnfn!r>? pnrf.?>? such antics. At I tit here at a great distance and look at them, I am half disposed to thiok tbat the writer in the above descriptive simile, availed himself of the poetical license, unless liis rnnis and lambs belong to that class of huge extinct animals, that we read about. In order to see the Valley, you must tnko the (Jnion Pacific rail way at Omaha, ami atop about every one hundred miles, and take a ride on an Iudiuu pony over the prairie. If you merely pass over at the rate of twenty-five | miles per hour, on the cars, you ! will have a very imperfect idea of I the extent and character of the | Valley. You can find some kind of a train passing almost any hour, upon which you can ride to different stations. The Union Pacific, the great transcontinental railway, is equally as great an attraction as the Valley itself. It is itn possible to estimate tho present and tuturo influence of this r.?ml in developing our West mid in J fusing the Euet with American ideas, and Christian civilization.? It lias certainly settled the Indian question. There will be no more p:otracted Indian wars ; with the facilities afforded by this road, any number of men can be transported and subsisted an}' where on the frontier. Formerly a small tribe of Indians could successfully defy the Government?now ovcry ranchc is protected ; and there is scarcely a train leaving San Francisco that does not bring Japanese and Chinese, traveling ' exclusively for information. The only way for nations and individ uals to advance in knowledge, and to be emancipated from igno ranee, local ideas, prejudicics, and absurd superstitions, is to .nix with each other, see with their own eyes in what respect thev may be deficient, and see the great superiority of a people they may probably consider inferiors.? All islanders arc generally ex elusive, and they are proverbially stupid. In crossing the Missouri River, I was amused at a young ladv fiom Savannah, Ga., asking her brother if it was salt water.? Upon told no, she said, " Yon lllliat tin inia?iil-n.i il.?? I ? - - ~ >.<ii?MnbM| IUI Iiu-Jf IHkt U f'rcsli oysters here." The Union Pacific and other corporations, are building roads to connect at ditFerent points along the main line running north and south into Montana, Oregon, &c. The building ol this road has also spoiled lb ighain's grand, ambitious idea of establishing and perpetuating the great Mormon' Church and Government, H'hieh ho. and his children after him, would rule over. 14 1 ho best laid plans of men and mico," &c. Brigham is now. unhappy. The United States au thuritics suppieased him on the forth ot July last, and took possession of his beautiful city, and the Godbeitcs litis caused a schism in the Church, hy opposing polygamy. For my own part, I don't believe that when men and wo j men were commanded to go i forth, multiply and replenish the earth, that it was either the object or intention of this divine command, that one man should be compelled or expected to do more than the work of one man, and I find that both Clark and Scott ???a with me in this opinion. I wonuer wu<?v j i.n ?im onin ion of the Editor ? On going aboard the train, I did not seat myself, but walked inore than once through the four first-class and two second class coaches, and gorgeous sleeping and palatial drawing room ears? all crowded ; about half of the passengers being from Europe, Asia and Africa, traveling for pleas are. I could bear all talking about the Pi at to and Yoeemite Valleys; and the English patois, which von hear Ritukmi r>n ?ll , ^ ? v" t sides by t!>o foreigners, afford considerable amusement. Twelve months ngo there was only one claim taken in llumilton county, Nebraska! now it has 150) settlers. On the sixth of April hist, there was not u single settler twenty miles north of Grand Island. A county was laid out at that time, and now there are 500 settlers. The first settlers aro principally Danes, Norwegians and Swedes. The impression of persons a: a dis tanco, is that the country botween the Missouri river and the Rocky Mountains is a great arid desert \ and it was named the ( real American uootrt by those who crowed the plaint, limiting for tho rich valleys of the monntains, and the gold of tho Pacific slope. Such au idea u entirely orroueous. The Platte Valley is now considered as the to-be great garden of the Went. The Valley is (ruin twenty-five to fifty miles ~~u "" rrtV? OAUtip immediately on tbe river, $nd utter you get ont one hundred miles west, the grass is generally too short fo^ mowing, being tlio buffalo grass, which is sweeter and more nutritious than tho vuiy tall grass. I consider tho lands on tho Loup Fork, one of the principal tributaries o f tho Platte, as bettor adapted 'both to farming and grazing, than the lands nearer the river. Though this section litis not jet bcon Surveyed by the Government, tho surveyors are there now. No c?ul has as yet been tound in tliis Valley, though there is abundance immediately east in Iowa,.and west on the lino of road. The Sioux Indians, who occupy the country extending north into Minesota, are the only tribe that are etill troublesome. They liavo deposed Red Cloud 6ince his return from Washington, and Spotted Tail is now their principal chief. When Red Cloud returned and told them of the wonderful promises of the great white man iu the East, and how many people lived there, and the kindness of the pale faces, tlioy " 110 believo " a single word. " Red Cloud got fine j gun ; got fine presents ; he got gold and silver plenty?wo will choose Spotted Tail to sit in our councils " 4i Such is the late fate of place." Flow like white men ! The Pawnees arc now 011 a reservation, near Pawnee Station, 011 the railroad.? They and t ho Winnebagoea, wh were once very hostile, now sit and smuko the calumet with the Danes and Swedes. There is not the same antipathy existing between t o Indians and foreign ci8 as there is between our own people. It is very seldom you ever hear one of the old Indian frontiersmen speak kindly of the red giving. incse irontiermcn anil women, who had been crowding and fighting the Indian for the past thirty years?, are, in many res pectu, the most remarkable people you will 6eo, travel where you may. (Jut here in Nebraska, you I sec them living in their cabins, made of sod, all out of doors; nothing but the great wild prairie around and the heavens above.? They have to keep their powder dry, and both eyes skinned, full of resource, more sense than a horse, rather taciturn ? always hopeful. All ?f the towns on the railway are laid out as if the owners expected them to grow to cities.? This cutting out largo cities reminds ino how my dear mother used to fret me, when I was young and growing vcry.fast. by cutting my trowsera a littlo too large. Every one of these frontlormen are profuuud philosophers. 1 was talking about the Eiblc with one of these sager, when he astonished me with the remark, that if Elijah ascended to heaven in a chariot of fire, then the laws of gravitation must have been suspended, or Newton's theory was false." You meet one hero who is the life of this post, the pot ot the officers, and tho delight of all. 1 mean Prairie Rose, who is a half-breed Indian maiden, ?cported to be nearly related t o old General Harney, She rcceivod a finished education in the East, which, with out having tamed her, enabled her to wield a most despotic influence. Fluent, fascinating, graceful, ac complishod, beautiful as a liouri, chaste a3 a vestal, wild as an Indian, 6he presides here the tin disputed iitji. j this great temple of nature's Wonders. I remarked to her that I thnui/lit slut would tip. Imitiiior in the East. With a voice sweeter than melody itself, she said, " Ah, sir, I would bo miserable there.? The wild prairie rose of the West would soon languish and <iio in the atmosphere of the East." She continued, f* Yonr Government does not seem to understand the fact that my people are /era nat iirm\ and making this tundnmen tu! mistake, their policy toward my people has always been a miserable failure." She elaborated this idea with great force and truth, proving that her people would be restless and dissatisfied under the most benign form of civilized gov eminent that could be established. She talked much and long. I listened, entranced by the pearls of wisdom and diamonds of wit, that sparkled in every sentence. Ltofore sho commenced to talk, I expected to hear one, ' rude in spcocli, and little blutisod with the oft phrase of-peace."

We hope * hat his views will receive that reipccttul attention which his intel c ect, high character and eminent v icrvices demand from those he has t erved so well and faithfully : To General D. II. Hill. Columbia, Sept. 9, 1S71. My Dear &ir: The Southern ? dome of the 5lh instant, contain 1 ng your editorial on the policy to 11 je pursued by the Southern States n reference to the next national ( Democratic- convention, reached y no a day or two ago, and along i ivith it, the letter in which you g ivorc kind enough to ask my opin < ion on this question. Though I mnnot flatter myself that any ( >pinions 1 may entertain can have { ;he weight your partiality would ( induce you to attach to them, I j most cheerfully comply with the request contained in your letter : because it is only by consultation ' and discussion among ourselves ' that we can hope to act judicious- ' Ij' and harmoniously. ' It would, perhaps, be sufficient 1 to say that 1 concur fully iu the views you have expressed, as to the impropriety of the South tak ing any part in the approaching convention ; but, in deterence to your wishes, I give, briefly, the reasons which have induced this conviction in my mind. 1. The Southern delegates in a national convention could exercise no influence iu shaping the policy, making up the issues or selecting the candidates for the next contest, without seriously injuring the prospect of a Democratic triumph. That this would inevitably bo the case, is proven by the result of tho last Democratic convention, where the very presence of Southerners was used to prejudice the n.r*tioll nrwt ilufnnt tlx. nonfliitotno of our party. 2. If the Southern delegates could not with propriety exert nil}' influence in the convention, while their mere attendence in it might result in inflnite mischief to the Democratic part)', it is surely the part of wisdom to refiain from participating in the deliber~ f atious of the convention. 3. The Northern Democracy will have to bear the burthen of the fight in the next Presidential contest, and it is only right that they should choose the field and select the standard hearers. These, in brief, are the reasons, in conjunction with those yon have already so ably advanced, that have convinced mo that our true policy is to abstain altogether from all participation iu the next national Democratic convention.? Of course, in pursuing thU policy, we should take care to have our conduct and our motives fully nn dcrsto',d by our Northorn friends. NVc Simula 8hj t?> them that we are actuated solely by the desire to promote tho success of Democratic principles and Democratic candidates; that we wish to leave them free to act as the best interests of our party demand; and that we pledge them in the contest all the aid we can give, only asking.thein to givo us as good a platform and ns acceptable candidates as they can. When the platform and is announced, and the candidates selected, tho Peni ocrncy of the South can ratify the action of toe national convention, and they can use every effort to sccuro the success of tho party : for on its success depends tho existence of the Southern States. If our people concur in this policy, arrangements should be im.de in each Stato to carry it out tully and cifeotuaily. Should they ../.4 ... /v *rx.?n? III nn?
