South CarroIIton correspondence.

1t may he that your readers would
not object seeing something occasional
ly from this unprctcnding little neigh
Dor, as her inhabitants are con-
stantly looking up the rich and pro-
ductivc fields of your county, and
from their windows, often admiring
the grandeur of your forests, and the
silent sweet beauty, of the rich, wild |
flowers that adOm your shore of our
classic Green.
As TO situation, few towns enjoy n
superior one-immediatcly on Green
River, at about an equal distance
from Bowling Green and Evansville,
which are connected by n beautiful
line of steamers which touch our
wharf almost every day in the week,
bearing the rich commerce of our val
Icy by our doors, thus bringing us in
to close and easy connection with both
north and south, afIording us the pleas
urc and luxury of having and enjoy
ing at the same time the heavy blocks
of northern ice, and the tempting
clusters of southern bananas. We
arc also situated Immediately On the
e. o. q N. II. r., whose objective
points arc chicago and Nashville, so
that at no distance day VIC expect to
take breakfast at home, and dinner at
Nashville; or breakfast at home and
supper in Chicago. The competition
between river AMI road, gives us uni
form cheap rates of freight and travel,
while the surrounding country, both
north and west comprises most excel
lent portion of the Green River val
ley. BY these advantages in location,
and facilities in transportation and
commerce, We can live rs cheap, as
any civilized people under the sun.
BY our road We reach the j.. p. ~ S.
