Mr.. EDIroR We have very little or no disposi

less, TO acquire nopriety after the manner O

desire to reply TO an article in the Adreriser of the
20th ult, over the signature Of g GREExwooD,n ir
as brief a manner us possible; and in doing So we
expect to lay the lash un rather heavy We rcgrc,

sufficiently from his late accouchment and although
the Bantlns is fairly beyond the BIRTH" never
lhrless we are fearful To secure for it rapid and
prosperous growth" to Il full and perfect statue of
man, will require more Of the parental care and

should we have any fears about the matter at all for
there arc no people on earth more peculiarly quail

about Greenwood; for is prorcrbal with the h,to.
ry OF many of the people Of that Burg, that they
VIII engage in no enterprise, 10 use their own
expression, for fear " il won't pay."
AS" GREEswooD' is one of our particular friend,
and all sorts of clever fellow, we regret to per-
ceve in the outset, that in the couicd state of his
imagination, he has done great injustice to his
character as a man Of truth, aad acknowledged
abilities to some excnt, in penning the unntelliriblc
article he!nre us.
We have, it is true Mr.. EDIToR, contributed but
little to the building of the Greenvi!le Rail Road
nevertheless ,re haze contributed something. and
we he state not to say, that if " GREENWOOD" will
take the trouble 10 examine the books Of the Com
rany, he will find that have given as much, and
perhaps more of our limited means, and made
good deal less FUSS" ,lmn "GREENwooD" has
himself. Certainly We have made no complaint to the
President of the Road, and we arc sure we have
made none to the Board Of Directors, or at any
meeting of the Stockholders, but from the fact that
our limited circumstances confined us to the Wild
on'~ aiI1ei nrc,v be held up to .tc world, and
t" the Rail Road Company in particular, as con-
nothing 10 the enterprise but fuss and
complaint" If 80 GREEHwoon" will wipe the mis-.
rom oil his eyes, and permit himself to look beyond
The corporate limits Of that town, up and down the
Greenvilc Rail Road, he will see that others have
aiken stock and should como in for share at least
If the honors that he r' GxEENwouD'D has so law
SHY conferred upon himself.
We arc not vain enough to suppose, Mr. EDITOR,
hat any thing We could say or wite, would have
ny influence at all with the Rail Road Company, in
he location Of the Aiken Road. Far from it. In
ennng the communication Of the 18th March. We
'rrt influenced by no other motive than to answer
ne many enquiries before us and if NE have given
untrue statement, or made wrong figures, j, is
cumbrnt On - GREESwuoD" to make il 40 appear.
But GaEESwooD' SAYS we have en- so late
initiated into the views Of the Grcenville and
olumbia Rail Road Company, that We have yc. to
arm the real object and necessity Of the A ken
Dad, and all our array Of figures amount to moth.
g, unless we can make it appear that by way Of {
inety-Si1 is the nearest route from Anderson to Il

our Initiation. II Anderson and Aiken are to be
terInIni Of the Aiken Road, ne know nothing e.
the object and necessity of that route But if k

our acknowledgements. Yet at the same time or
received nothing more than was due from one pl
it!cnan to another. This is the heavy debt of ii,
