YOU an idea Of the great good which can be
done In Greece with small means. Thus tho
families In the colony amount to thirty-six,
making about two hundred souls, which, with
the other two hundred employed In daily la
Dor, makes a busy community on spot
where, ten weeks ago, was obliged to have
a guard 10 the night to keep the wolves away
from my mules.
prOnOse the name Of Westinghouse for
this colony. Within It's hound Is the old port
of Cenchrca, now called Cenchveps, which Is
nearly useless from the destruction OF the

its insecurity. propose, during the months
when the cOlOnists ARE unengaged IN agrlcuI-
ture, to employ them in dragging down rocks
from the hills, which overriding the port, ana

old mole, and thus easily making the port

The mole will give security, and this Is all
that is wanted, for the port being Ave miles
nearer Corinth, than any other on the Egcan.
all commerce between It aud the east will OF

I have requested Of tho government the
grant Of al the revenues Of this port for the
support Of an hospital, and am IN mOmentary
Of the Act. Doctor Russ has in
his hands about the value Of $4,000, the rem

this sum to the construction OF hospital.

you d. 50, you will continue me IN my inter-

some assistance to the colony and hospital,
which Is regarded as entirely your work.
We are in the greatest need Of the common

ceiyc the low state Of the mechanic arts and
every thing else in that way, when l say that

Of the people, many OF whom
had never seen such u complicated machine,
there being no wheel carriages in Greece.
The ploughs are the rudest things you can
conceive shovels, spades, hoes, rakes, &c.,
are entirely unknown. Think then what an
man of common information
has Of doing good, and how seducing the
prospect of introducing among such people
improvements equal to those which CecrOps
taught their fathers.
