We are permitted to copy the following testimonials from gentlemen who have given their opinion of the work: lion. J. L.

They have impressed me most fa1 vorably with her genius, purity and attaini ments. 1 feel well assured that the forth. coming volume will introduce her talentf and accompli aliments to the literary world, sud that when the public judgment shall have been passed upon its merits, that the ' name of Mrs. Gwin will be inscribed on the - roll of distinguished Southern writers."

A Pleasant Predicament. 1 Those delegates from the South, who fill - the places of the s ceding delcgntee in the B Baltimore Convention, will certainly have an easy time of it. They will have noth ing to do. Tlie whole work has been block, ed out for them, and they can sit and while I the time away without a wave of trouble upon their peaceful breasts. Aud then, too, the responsibility of adopting the platform, which always causes a flutter among Southern politicians, will not have to be assumed. What if it is repugnant to the Southern people, can't they say they had nothing to do with it? Was it not already adopted before we got into the Convention? And in I this way they can appear before the dear , people and wheedle them into the belief j that they are perfectly consistent. A glo, rious set, these Baltimore men. C llere is something very refreshing from I one of them, which we take from the Lawj reuceville (Ga.) Ar?es. It is in answer to a communication from the Macon committee, 8 and is from the pen of James 1*. Simmons, c Esfl-: i "We must bo represented at Baltimore on 1 the 18th. Lot us go there with the Georgia c Platform, of 1S6U, in one hand, the Cincinnati e Platform, of 1866, in the other, the Constitution indelibly engraved upon our memory, tbi love of country, the whole country, embalmed t in our hearts, and the fear of God before oui eyes, aud bid defiance to Abolitionism, Disuniutiism, and all kindred fiendish ?'???? which ma) threaten the destruction of this, the best Government ever given by heaven to erring, sinful i- man." ti For the sake of common decency, and a f proper respect for the State of Georgia, we linno Mr Stvfvenva wnn'f ?, ..?- .?- ~ ; Platform to Baltimore. If ho does, let him, - by nil means, leave the 4th resolution ut ] home. It would be a perfect curiosity in Bal? timorc. The Southern delegates to that > city should not load themselves with plat| forms, as there will be no uso for them.? The less baggage they have with them the better. If we understand the position of the Baltimore delegates from the South, they are prepared either to fight or run, with a decided preference for the latter. This is what we are to understand by the Cincinnati Platform in one hand and the Georgia Platform of 1S50 in the other. For the Enterprise. Mr. Editor?We see in your last issue calls made on many of our fellow citizens to become candidates for a seat in our next Legislature. We are not surprised at this, for, indeed, it is a time in which we should all cast about and look up our best men? firm, plain, praetica', hard sensed men?as our next Rcpresentati\ ea. So wc have looked, and can find, iu our judgment as many of the. elements desired, in our friond, HENltY lv. WILLIAMS, as in any other man ; hence we propose him as one of our candidates, aud nope ne win consent to Jet Ins name be used as such. As nn inducement to him to do so, we will say we have heard his name often mentioned in this connection, und have never heard 'lie first man say he would not vote with us for him. B. For the Enterprise. Mr. Editor?Allow us, through the columns of your paper, to suggest that IIEXRY I'. HAMMETT, Esq., is a suitable gentleman to represent the citizens of Greenville District, in the Legislature of the State. It Is well known that he is at this time extensively engaged in manufacturing, and it is > to this source we must, in a great measure, 1 look for the independence of the South. lie is now dping, practically, more to en t rich the South, and place her on the high road to wealth, honor, and independence, than a hundred gasconading politician*. He is decidedly the man for the times? honest, intelligent and practical. If lie i will permit his naino to be added to the list ' of candidates for the Legislat ure, at ths en suing election, we know of no man who would receive more imniiimr.iulu lli? port of the citizens of GREENVILLE. ? ?? r Por the Enterprise. Mr. Editor?Seeing that many gentleman , hnvo been solicited to run for tho Legislature, j and not wishing to detract from tho merits of any one, wo would like to see the name of f Capt. JOHN CHAKLBH brought ant as one in t every way worthy of a seat in our State Legislature. Capt. Charles is a practical farmer, ( nnd thoroughly identified with tho agricultural interests of Greenville. * * We hope that Mr. Charles will allow Ms nnme te be used in the approaohing election, MMlfltftgV a MANY VOTERS. * f sows J>r Uie XiUrprla*. ..

Tho canvass for tho Legislature in our District is now opening. While some are already in the Sold for the House, we know of no one for the Senate, as-yet. This field should not remain unoccupied. It should bo filled with good men. JOHN W. STOKES. Esq.. who was one of oar worthy ltepresonUti.es is the last legislature, U very worthy of promotion to a bigbor trust. Wo therefore suggest and request that ho booomo a candidate for the Senate. If he will run, we feel satisfied that his constituency, at tho neat election, will give him a seat there. A VOTER. For the Enterprise. Atr. Editor?There has been quite a number of gentlemen suggested as suitable persons to represent Greenville District in the neat State Legislature, all of whom ars \ worthy, honorable, and well qualified for tho high trust, but out of the number but r few of them will consent to become candi1 dates. Allow us, then, to present the name ; of Dr. J. T. 1IILLHOUSE.

SALUDA BATTALION. For tho Enterprise. Mr. Editor?From tho report of the pro' ceedings of the meeting, on the 21stiustnnt, ! my position is not known except by those 'j present at the time. It may possibly be misunderstood or misrepresented. The preamble and resolutions that I offered contain. in a concise form, my views. I beg that you will do me the favor to publish them: The Democratic Part}', at their late Con vention, were divided as to the platform upon which they were to go forth in the coming contest for the Presidency. This being true, the citizens of Greenville?a portion of the Democracy of the State?regard it their duty, in accordance with the example of other portions of the State, to declare frankly their opiniona, to the end that the State Convention, to assemble in Columbia on the 80th instant, may be correolly informed as to public opiuion. Be it, therefore, Resolved, That we most cordially approve the bold, manly nnd unyielding |n?Htion assumed by the withdrawing delegates at the Charleston Convention. Resolved, That it should meet the unqualified approbation of every true Southerner, and tliat we sincerely regret the Action wns I not unanimous in the Southern Delegations. Resolved, That however much we deplore i the sundering of the ties that have united i us with the great Democratic Party, we rei gnrd our rights and honor as above all other considerations. > Resolved, That we yet hope a returning ' sense of duty will induce our Northern : brethren to yield tiie Constitutional demand of the South, and that once more, with united bosoms, we may enter the politico! | arena in a great contest for the Constitution and the Union. Resolved, That we approve the platform adopted by the withdrawing Delegate*, and that we concur in th<i position to send Delegates to the Richmond Convention. JZtKolard That ? Delegates he app?-'-' ' by the Chuir to represent the Distrie* Convention to assemble in Columb'' 30th instant. Respectfully/ E. 1'. } FOR THE KNTKKPRI&y Pic-nic at Cedar I, Mr. Editor?It frequently t one journeys along the ted id notonous path of life, that * curs, which affords please impressive, that one, nltf accustomed to write, is ( simple and true statement red. A On Saturday, the 26th and agreeable party met^ft which place, is distant ahoutm from Greenville C. II , for ? enjoying a pic-nic and fit? unfortunately, detained on performance of some militu* . unable, therefore, to give a inent of all that was said aiu\ forenoon. On my arrival at' was soon kindly congratulated welcome, and learned that at things had disappeared from the fc. was a very long one. I was invij take of some of the good things i serve, but informed them that I,' before reaching the place. Thej "Come, let me introduce you to s/ o young ladies." It required no pei ..asion to gain my consent to this proposition ; and in a short time, through the politeness of Dr. L , and others, I was introduced to a number of young ladies, who would loose nothing hy a comparison with the same number from any other section, for intelligence and beauty. The greuter number of the party was from the immediate neighborhood, but other localities were represented. The Misses S , of Laurens, were there. and contributed milch to the enjoyment of the day 1 would not be surprised if tomt of the young gentlemen of Greenville should suddenly discover that they had business of the highest importance in Laurens District, which demanded their immediate attention, The greater part of the forenoon wan spent in fishing. To be successful in the art of fishing, it is very essential that sileftc* ahould be preaerved, and patience exercised. The ladies are known to possess patience, but when it eomes to silenee whilst fishing, it is always a failure, bo it was with this party, it met with " bad luck," having caught abont an half dozen members of the " finny tribe." After the many good tilings spread npon the table had been disposed of, the party amused themselves id agreeable conversation for aeveral hours. It was then proposed that the party should repair to the Mnaonie Hall, which was distant abont a quarterafafcnile. Heretheparty vrn? nsl er. ed itito a large, neat, well ventilated, and well furnished room, and was alio#a a great many things which r.ouc of thcin 4 ? T . in ii eeetned to kuow the purpose or manning oL A wooden out. repreveullng the l?U?r G, wu 1 depended from the ceiling. This Attracted the Attention of many, end elieitod many surmises of He meaning. At last, V .jc 5 exclaimed : MI have it now, O stands for good." I knowing that it oouid not well stand for " better,*' accepted her interpretation. This same young lady, with that scrutiny so chsractsristic of females in the close observation of the neatness and "eternal fitness of things" abont a house, soon discovered s number of dirt daubers' nests on the wall, whoreopon she remarked : " I see the Masons have admitted the dirt daubers." I replied, " that they were, in one sense, very high and ancient, as well as practical masons, for they always build their houses of dev." After snendin? some time very pleasantly in the Masonic llall, it was suggested that the party should br.*ak up. This was very much regretted. The young gentlemen, when they found out that they could not prevail upon the young ladies to remain longer, determined to make the best of it, by accompanyiug some of them to their homes. In a very short time, the qneetion, whore this one and that one was to ride, was settled, and a simultaneous more was made in the direction of home. I hope pic-nica will become the order of the day. I*. WOB TMK ENTKRPKUX. The Pie-lTio at Cedar Falls. Mr. Editor?Ou Saturday morning, 26th inst, I left Greenville, by special invitation, to attend the pic nic at Cedar Falls, a rural entertainment, given by the young ladies of that vicinity, to which young ladies and gentlemen, who were the favored partakers ou that occasion, are indebted to Miss Isabella L , the Misses S , Miss M D , and many other young ladies present, for the luxuries offerod with so much social good will; besides, the place selected was associated with the earliest recollection of all present, and is ono of the most romnntio nud picturesque localities among our native hills, and called to mind many a happy reminiscense of tho past. Cedar Falls is the place where our first ideas of the beauties of nature were displayed to our youthful imagination?its dashing cataract, in the rural forest, far away flora the noise, bustle and scenes of busy life?connected with the fnct that it is my own nntive heath, and the spot where all that is beautiful and fair, in both tli? animal and vegetable kingdom, spring up and grow with so much luxuriance and besnty, and I shall ever look back upon my recent visit to Cedar Fulls, connected as it iS with my earliest associations and affections, as one of the most pleasant and happy pastimes of my life, and forming a green and sunny sjiot in my exI istccce. B. Fon T1IE 80LTIIKBN KSTEUmiSK. Letter from Beidville. Mr. Editor?As this little village has been but little noticed by writers lor the papers of our Slute, and as many persons, even within twenty or thirty miles of its locality, have never heard, probably, of the existence of such a place?from a short residence at the place, and an acquaintance with its people, its history aud its schools?1 have concluded, as all other places of high schools and colleges in our State hare received such a large share of well-deserved notoriety through our public journals, to sa.v something for Itcidville. This place is situated in Spartanburg Disict, in nbout six miles of Nnzaruth, a large d time-honored l*resbyterian Church, one of the best neighborhoods in the ' >r the intelligence and good morale pie. It i? twelve miles from Spar' 11., eighteen miles from Green-bout twenty-five miles from Lauutil the past two or three lace went l>y the name of Springs," which took their le gentleman who formerly d on which the famous spring .1 is within one hundred and Main 6treet; and the water .osed principally of sulphur, and great medicinal virtue, it has been ' past a great place of resort for in.uilies, even from the lower districts .r State, who have spent their summers in oabinr, near the spring, on account ising the water, which they found a cer ? cure for nervous diseases, especially for aills and fevers. I have heard two gentle.iien f-nv, who contracted this disease iu Florida, that the use of these waters had Tectoally cured them after its use for only oe or four days; and it was chiefly on J''."jOunt of these springs, together with the ,igh moral tone of the people of the settleTnent, and the health fulness of the climate, that induced the Rev. R. II. Rcid, a l'resbyterinn" divine of great worth, formerly of Anderson, 8. C., assisted by some of the most infiueatial citiacr.s of the neighborhood, who had children to educate, and felt the importance of having schools of a high order in the country, whore young ladies and boys would be free from the confinement and temptations incident to a town life, that led them to locate the schools here, and by the liberal donations of money and land from some of the citizens and others, | among whom may be mentioned the Gastons, Wakefield*, Andersons, Millers, and many others. Some two years ago, they | laid o<T their town, and within that time some twelve to fiftesn fine r<-sid?nn?-* li.r? been built, some of which would do credit to many towns. Hie F< male College has for ita President the Key. Mr. Raid, who is also a Professor. Mr. J. V. Shaw, lately of Greenville, and well known thero in past years as an able and experienced teacher, la also a Professor. Mrs. Harsh Butler, Tutoress, formerly of Oreenville, and Mrs Lott, who comes highly recommended has very recently entered upon her duties as Music Teacher, and teacher of all the.ornamental branches. The Female College is situated on a beautiful eminence at the head ot klain street, and la a large, welbarranged brick edifice, with a spacious ehapeV on tha second floor, and tha whola building admirably arranged for the purpos es contemplated, and nnpplied with ehemioal npptrains, mineral cabinet, Ac. Adjoining tha Female College grounds, is a largs briek house and grounds, whom the jvtin^ ladies aud ueOjt of the teachers #r** * izxtti boud, over which my .old and highly Mteamed friend, Mr*. Sarah K Btooe, presides and manages, and exereises all the-care and watchfulness of a parent over tha young ladiaa committed to her charge, assisted by her dutiful daughters. At the foot of Main street, and exactly opposite the Frroale College, on another beautiful elevation, is the Male College, about the fourth of a mile distant, of which the Rev. Mr. Reid is also President, and the Rev. T. I!; Davis, an excellent Presbyterian divine, is PriucipaL This is also a very commodious, well arranged brick edifice, adjacent to whioh is a very handsome residence, for the uee of the Principal. Both schools ore supplied with very able teachers, and although the number of pupils is not large in either, the number is gradually increasing, and-from what we have previously remarked about the place, we hate but little doubt that when the (place is more generally known, with 4ts advantages, that large schools will be built up here in a few years, and that Reidville will be a noted place. The place received Its name in honor of Rev. R. H. Reid, who, I am informed, has been the leading spirit in the establishment of the colleges, and displayed groat energy in making Rcidville what it ie in so short a time. Himself and Mr. Davis preach for us alternately every Sabbath, and in connection with the church, we have also a large Sabbath School, and fine congregations. Although the colleges arc under the control of Presbyteriane, nothing of sectarianism is taught or tolerated, and all the various denominations of Christians send their children here to be educated. The best board can be obtained at the rates of $10 per month, including washing, lights, dec., and the charges for tuition quite moderate. The young ladies are a fine, rosy, healthful looking set of peoplo, have plenty of room for exercising and amusement, and seem to enjoy themselves finely. Commencement in the colleges, I learn, takes place the first week in July, at which time two or threo of the young ladies graduate. The Rev. T. S Arthur, of your town, 1 learn, is to deliver an address oftlhe occasion, and I trust the announcement of such a speaker for the oocaslon will bo the means of drawing to the place a large crowd of spectators from abroad. From the wealth and density of population for miles around Keidville, a pretty extensive mercantile business could be done here, and such is the belief by some of our older and more experienced cituens. We have but one store in the place, and as one cannot always supply all the demands of the country, many have to go to the nearest towns to make their purchases frequently, when they would rather make their purchases here, if adequate supplies were kept, and if we had two or three more stores, it would get up competition, ami draw trade from a greater distance to this place.

The people here arc all so honest and healthy that wc think lawyers and doctors would hardly be able to make a living, and we shall offer no inducements for any of those professions to come and settle here.
