which trill appear about the first of
August next We await, with much fanxicty,
its appearance. The proddctiona of
this gifted lady have repeatedly graced our
columns for the past six years, and have al
ways been admired for their elegance of
style aud diction. The work will contain
shout 220 pages, and will be furnished at
the price of one dollar. Several distinguished
literary gentlemen, to whom the
manuscript has been submitted, hAve com
pliuicnted it In bigh Urtim, and upon their
suggestions tho authoress has been induocd
to put her pieces in the more enduring form
of a book. We are permitted to copy the
following testimonials from gentlemen who
have given their opinion of the work:
lion. J. L. Obr, of Anderson, says:
" For some time past I have been familiar
with the poetical writings of Mrs. Raura
Owin. 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."
Rev. John A. Buoapus, D. D., I'rofessoi
' in the Theological Seminary, Greenville, S
1 C., says: _ _

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.

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?

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.

by the Chuir to represent the Distrie*
Convention to assemble in Columb''

from Greenville C. II , for ?
enjoying a pic-nic and fit?

unable, therefore, to give a
inent of all that was said aiu\

was soon kindly congratulated
welcome, and learned that at
things had disappeared from the fc.

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.

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*.

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

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. A
good tailor, of steady, industrious habits,
also a good shoemaker, a milliner and manillII

Beautiful building lots can be purchased,
from one to ouc and u half acres, from $60
to $100 a lot. Several very pretty new improved
places can now be purchased atr casonahle
rates. It is a very abundant provision
country ; and wc have ucver seen a
more orderly, quiet little town in all our
travels, and we have traveled tome.
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.
And having said thus much for the place,
we have nothing more to say at present,
but remain, Yours, truly,
C. B. R.

are attempting in New York to get up
a testimonial to the great unwhipped
lleenan. The replies of' Barnum and
Bennett in answer to the application
are rich, decidedly :
" Mr. Conway stated that he had
called en Mr. Barnum, of the Museum,
for a contribution, and Mr. Barnum had
promised to contribute $100, on condition
that the Henician Bov would show
himself in the Museum fifteen minutes
after his arrival, and enter into a permanent
ongagemont afterwards to remain
on exhibition as a curiosity. This
proposal was indignantly rejected. The
Baine friend of Heennti stated that he
called on Jaiges Gordon Bennett, of tho
flcrsfd. Mr. Bennett was in his private
room, but Mr. Hudson sent in the subscription
book-for his attention ; h came
bacL with the reply that the thing was
hot quite in his line.

WALTON, aged 13 mouths And 10. damson
of J. It. and N. C. Keid, felt asleep iu
Jesus. After un illness of ten days, hi* little
spirit plumed ita wings and took its
flight to the shining seats above, and now
rests on the bosom of Iliiu who said, " Suffer
little children to come unto rtie, and forbid
them not, for of such is the kingdom of
Heaven." While well, he was a g?iod and
beautiful child. And while enduring the
most intense suffering, he never complained
or shed a tear. It was the only child and
idol of it* parents. What God doesis'right.
" Not now, Oh ! burdened soul, not now,
Shalt "thou the mystery know.
Why God has tilled thine earthly cup
Willi drops of deepest woe.
Thou kuowest not why thine earthly joys
All fado like morning dew,
Thou knowest not why life's sweetest flowers
Should perish where they grow ;
Thou kuowest not why thy lovely ehlld
Should fade so soon from sight;
But thou alialt know, in heaven, why God
Hath mixed this cup for theey
And what seems bitter to thee now
Will all sweetness be.
Be calm, whate'er thy God designs
Thou knowest, thou kuowest not now,
But trust Him: He will inakc it plain
When thou hast crossed Death's foaiuj
AH will sceui right and just to thee
When thou art safe at home."
