INCIDENTS OF THE CHEAP D1FFU
SION OF INTELLIGENCE.

SION OF INTELLIGENCE.
The new device of Postmaster
General Creswell, the postal cards
went into circulation yesterday.
As they have been somewhat
olaborately in the Wash
ington special dispatch, for the
last several weeks, it is not neces-
sary to 60 into particulars here
Besides, nearly everybody has seen
them, and knows how to describe
them himself. But for a general
description it might DO said that
they arc designed for the diff:
fusion Of intelligence among the
masses at onc-third the usual rate
You can write almost anything
you please on i postal card, SO
that it isn't too long-that is to
say, the article thai is written.
But there are some things that do
not read we'll on postal card.
Take, for instance, a large board
ing house, where the !andlady
takes care Of the mails until the
boarders call for it. This some
times makes the. diffusion. of in.
tclligencc among the masses a tri-
fe too diffusc for comfort. The
postman comes to the door with
an armtnl of postal cards. The
landIady relieves him of tho bur-
den, goes in and sits down and be-
gins to sort them over for the
various boarders. Presently she
strikes one which reads thus
ST.. LOUIS, May II.
Ny dear Theoph.-Come to-
night at half-past 10. Side gate
open. Bulldog chained up in the
basement. Light in the window
for you.
Yours, sw'eetly, +. B. L.
Laudlady then turns to the
other side of the card. She reads

THE GREENVILLE AND CO
LUNRIA RAILROAD.

1t is gratifying to observe the
increasing business and prosperi-
ty Of the Greenville and Columbia
Railroad, since its connection with
the South Carolina Railroad. 10
this cause and to tie skill, expert
ence and efficient management Of
Superintendent Dodamead, it's
present success is attributobl bic. We
are not possessed Of the exact
statistics which will show precise
ly the increased amount Of work
done, or Of profits realized, but VIC
understand that they have far ex-
ceeded all previous years, during
the past twelve months. The
bridge over Broad River is nearly
completed, and presents the ap-
pcarancc Of 4 solid and substantial
structure, which will stand the
test Of the highest trcshets, and
successfully resist the scverest
strain.
The road-bed, rolling stock,
locomotive power, &C., are INSULT
cient for the business, but it is
proposed, we learn, by the South
Carolina Railroad Company, as
soon as the annoying litigation
now gong on in relation to the
road is settled to devote whatever
sum ol money may be necessary to
re6tting the road, and rendering
its appointments first class in ev.
cry respect. In the meantime, the
road will be run to its full capaci
ty, and continue to maintain and
increase it's usefulness to the mer,
