GREENvTLLE FABRICS GOING NoRTH, &c
We published last week an extract from the
Greenville Mountaineer, in which it was
stated that the products of several facto-
ries and paper mills were shipped to New
York. This export of Southern Fabrics is
not confined to Greenvlllc. Publishers not
far from the Eagle Paper Mills, Lincolnton
N. c., ,(where we get our papar,) have found
their efforts fruitless in endeavoring to get
paper there. We are told that they have
orders from Philadelphia for more than they
can manufacture.

July, being the fifth month of the old
Roman calendar, was originally Quintilis, or
fifth; but afterwards received its present
name (Latin, Julius) in honor of Julius Ce-
sar who was born in this month 1t answers
to Alb, the eleventh month of the Jewish
civil, and fifth of their sacred year. The
Saxions called it Har, or Hey-monath, be-
cause in it they Moved their grass, and gath,
cred their hay harvest; and also Litha-aftcrs

Change.---Progress.---What is the pros
pect for us2

Just ten years ago we left the city of
Charleston and sought home in the upper
portion of the State. We recollcct distinct
ly every little incident # our journey of in
vcstigation.
We took the cars at Charleston, and land
ed in the afternoon at Augusta. From thence
we went to Edgelirld E.. H., thence to Alb
beville, where we remained n day or two
We were delighted with the high hills, the
pure atmosphere aud cheerful appearance
of all around us. From Abbcville we crossed
over, and came to Llurens; at the latter place
we took the stage for Newbcrry. There
were no passengers besidcs ourself, and
finding the driver n pretty loqua, ious kind
of IL fellow, we had some conversation with
him:
What immense rocks, and what hilly
mountainous country" said we to him.
ayes sir" said he, ";hcy once wanted to
bnild Il Railroad along here" pointing to
the line surveyed for the Louisville, Cincin-
natl, and Charleston R"lroad, . but they
found it imrracticable. They never will
build Railroad along here"
Ten years have passed since then. Sup
pose we started now on n similar journ.'y
instead of several days and nights of stage
travel, we would travel by Railroad to Alb
bcville, and from Ncwbcrry would take the
ears to Laurens The drivers prediction is
not fulfilled we believe the I.urcns Rail-
road runs ,long the very spot he pointed to
us as being impossible for n track to be laid
Nor is this ALL in this age of progress
which has been accomplished in the last ten
years. A R;ilroad stretches from Column
bia to Greenville, vim Newberry, Abbeville
and Anderson. Then one froSl olRinlda
to Charlotte, N. c., via Winpzb bc<o< ,tk
