The fact is too evident, aud the people seem no longei to be willing to remain in ignorance of it, L that: Greenville is akcad of all mountain towns, in bounty, excellence and acconmio} dntions.

J , ' v MANY VOTEJlS. The Mining Excitement Tucnk ia now a considerable fever In A portion of Georgia atul tho western portion : of Alabama, consequent on recent aisoovej ries of Gold, Silver, Copper, Irou ami Lead, ' and- steady, old fogy citizens are dropping their farming and mechanical implements, j and going u prospecting for those metal*.? j A* yet thi? fever has been but sporadic in this State, hut in Georgia it has become epidemic. Tho Editor of the Milledgeville Southern Recorder says that recently, while in Carroll and adjoining counties, ho had an opportunity of witnessing the great excitement prevailing in that section in consequence of recent mineral discoveries. It' was the nll-al>sorhing topic of conversation. I | Most persons apjieared to have caught in I Rome degree tho contageon and were on the | look out for new discoveries. Many (formerly prudent men) had quit their regular employment, and were searching out uiineri nls under tho expectation of realizing *|>ecdy fortunes. It appeared to be the opinion, frpm discoveries already made, that oorowr, lead, Ac., extended from 1 >ucktmvn in Tenni o*?ee to the upper part of Cluimlters county, running from North-east, South-west. Evi deuce of copper had been discovered in Carroll, Init not in sufficient quantity as jet to authorize nny serious effort at working for it.: Wo wore shown n lump of lead a* taken from a mine in Heard county, which looked almost pure. Other parcel* froui the same bed had, we were informed, l?ecn tested, and had been found to be from "75 to 80 per cent, pure. This was not tho ouly lend ore wo neard of, but a number of othor veins were spoken of, said to lie equally as good. Lead i had been taken, wo were told from them in its rough state, run into bullets and used for shooting deer. Iron oro in nbunduncc had been found, said to be fifty per cent, pure. Also, evidence* of silver, Gold lias been found for years, and the mines nrc successfully and profitably worked* It is estimated that tlioro are now engaged in bunting copper and other minerals ca*t of the MWglmny nnJ Mhw ltiJg? :?tlca-st ten tliOU! sand persous, and the number still iucrcas!iug* . j Coal, it Is thought, will also bo found in abunddtee. There is certainly a wide field open in that section for an experienced Geologist, tvhuso labors and whose researches might prove of immense value to tlio country. Ill Lumpkin ami adjoining counties, we lenrn from the Signal, great activity exists among the fanners in raising articles for the consumption of the miners.

BrxJuht oir Kaii.uoads.?Tho editor of the Manchester Mirror, in a letter froui Ceutre Harbor, thus speaks of the great advantages derived from the opening of railroads in that part of the country. u At Center Harbor we left and took on a large quantity of freight, and among other things a quantity of strawboord for book covers, manufactured at Conway and going to the Boston market. The opening of railways into this section of country has increased the property ou all the water streams to a greater extent than is generally Ixdieved. Each town along the line of tho Boston ami Montreal railroad, if it had built it by direct taxation upon the property of the town, would have been more than repaid now bv tho riso of their projicrty.

It is not to be doubted that the rcvo ! lutioiiista, who have lioistod the rcpublicai : banner, already have upper hand in Madric and also in Barcelona and elsewhere in tin Princes. Though General O'Doimell is th< nominal head "ot the revolution, I Londor and Paris it is understood by the best inform ed jhtsoiw that Espartcro (a sincere llepub lican, and tbo loader of the Spanish Progree sists) is tho real head of the movement, ntuj that Narvaez will very probably soou la found to be engaged with hiin.
