Greenville Railroad. n ?j ? .1? / ?.? ? in >111 uuiviuscmi'iiv in me i^uruiimuil, we learn that a change lias been made in tlie miming schedule heretofore existing.? The trains will leave Columbia, and the various other termini, one hour later than they formerly did. This we publish for the benelit of our readers, of course, and free gratis. AVe may also announce, for a like purpose and price, that passengers getting on the Road without tickets, will be charged twenty-five cents more by the conductors. So now if any one gets "the tariff" stuck to him, he cannot blaino the Press. It is with pleasure we re-publish, for the 1 J r* ' * wiiviiu vi liic ituiiu ?tnu company, me lo!lowing evidently disinterested vindication of the Road, which we find in a letter dated at Columbia, signed "Low Country," and appearing in the Charleston Courier: "Among the travelling facilities, I desire to do simple justice to the Greenville Kailroad. Its reputation heretofore has been very bad. From actual experience, I think most undeservedly so. I confess to having shrunk from the thought of trying it, after all I had heard, and after the experiment I acunowieiigeu inyseir most agreeably surprised. The time on the road, considering its length, (140 miles,) and tlint you travel all through tlie upper Districts, between Cohuuhi^fcitnl Greenville, is by no means so slow as I had supposed. Willi the new schedule, even tliat wi I he shortened one hour. 1,|) point of safety to passengers, its past history compares most favorably with any railroad in the United States. The cars, conductors, engine drivers, superstructure, etc., are all excellent. The road is under a most able tiud efficient management of President mxj Dti Oefors.
