Removal Of the Baptist Theological
Seminary From GrcenvilIe to
Louisville.

The question OF the rcmoval Of the South
ern Baptist Theological Seminary from
~Greenvillc, 5. c., to Louisville, KY, Is tinul-
~ settled. The next session will open at
Louisville, and the city OF Greenyillc will be
the loser in many ways. She will lose more
than Il hundred of her winter population.
She will lose her highly honorcd DR.. Boyce-
and emincntly useful citizen, wherever lie
goes. There are few men III any community
who corbin SO well the Christian gentle
man, the profound t~heologian and tho practi-
cul business man, as DR.. James +. Boyce.
Grcenvillo will lose the distinguished author,
the unsurpassed pulpit speaker, the learned
and ever ready conversationalist, the delight
ful companion, and altogether lovablc man,
lr. John a.. Broadus. She had already lost,
in Gods " way. tof which, we dare no,
lessUr, DR.. VIM. Williams. Here let US say
for it may be the last opportunity we'll have,
that for clear, concise und convincing logic
in the pulpit, we have never seen Dr. WILL
Jams cQunlcd. much less surpassed. What
Is more, the man was as pure in his life MS his
speech was In the pulpit. Grernvillc Will al
~ lose the younger members Of the faculty,
who promise to be as distinguished rs tlleir
seniors. DR.. Toy is on the Highway 10 dis
tinction as II scIiolur. We doubt whether In
scholastic theology, any n Of his age IN
the Southern States surpaSscS him, and still
he Is an interchangeable student, mastering the
licul history. DR.. WhitSitt the youngest OF
the Professors, Is n man Of remarkable intel
lect; German In It's cast, ploddlng, deliberate,
untiring and ever developing.
These ure the distinguished citizens Green
Vile will lose by the removal OF the seminary
and these carry with them others whose loss
To Grernvillc society 1t will be hurd to repluce.
How much an institution of that character
adds To Il small town in a social point OF view
can hardly DC estimated.
The families OF such men and their friends
who visit them from abroad together with
the students who nre always well behaved,
ppnarullv we'll n1npntni md n nGaitira hon.
tiit to the social circle, will he missed by the
people OF Grecnrille. and their rcmora
much regretted.
Tho rcInoval OF the Seminary has been long
contemplated, and we suppose 1t Is altogether
for the best. Or that wcnre not to judge. We
can only express what we tlIlnk Is the uni
vcrsal regret that Greenvills Is to lose Some
Of her most estiInublec citizens.

grassy mound upon this solitary wilder
ness now marks his last resting place.
After Il few days respite in this lovely
village. we resumed our journey ,NOwn
the French Broad-the grandeur Of nat
ural scenery that meets the gaze OF the
traveller for fifty miles down this racy
river is beyond description. Throughout
the entire distance the river reaches
down a mountain gorge with incrcditahlc
speed, and dcafening roar, with the pub
lie highway upon the margin of its bank.
The traveller is shut in on either side by
mountains which rise higher as he adj
vances, while the tumultiOus stream
at his side grows wilder, and lashcs itself
to fury against the rocks that attempt to
obstruct its course. The only evidence Of
civilization one generally sees are fisher
mon, who occasionally appear in groups
upun the banks. After 4 drive of twenty
miles, we reached marshall, the seat Of
Madison county. 1t is indeed a singular
ly located village, situated on h banks
of the river in Il valley not moro than a
quarter of a milo wide, Immediately be-
hind it is an almost impenetrable noun
tain, whose summit seems to touch the
sky, while in front is the river rushing
madly with a ceasclcss roar. This river
unlike others is so rapid that its waters
have very seldom been known to rise
high enough to become destructive to the
fine dwellings, along its course. Tho
treshet last year was however attended
with the most serious Notwithstanding
every vestigc of life within its reach, and
in many cases carrying off dwellings up
on its bosom, and in their stead, deposit
ing huge trunks Of trees, and rocks torn
from the cliffs above. This village was
not made All exception on that occasion,
though it las again recovered from this
calamity, and now presents a rare model
of neatncss and beauty. While enjoy
ing the refreshing breeze that constantly
fans this lovely retreat in which the
schorching rays of the sun are compara-
lively unknown, and whose tranquil re-
pose is undisturbed by the cares and tur-
moils Of n base world, we wonder if the
weary pilgrim would have uttered the
sentiment, ~ would not live always
had his lot been cast in this paradise on
earth" TOURIST.

sand dollars while the whole taxes Of the
county is less than seventeen thousand
dollars. 1t is true that a small portion OF
Greenwood and White Hill townships
arc left TO Abbeville, which might reduce
the taxes from these townships to the
new county perhaps from $500 or 500,
but, to set off for this, we have made no
mention of the land cut off from Cokes-
bury township, which would go far to-
wards bringing the figures back to the
original point.
When it is necessary TO levy three
mills on the whole property of this coun-
IS to run the expenses Of the govern
ment, it will be readily seen that one
fourth more, or an additional mill will
be required, from the balance Of the
county, if the change is made. Are the
people of Donaldsviile, Due West, An
t~reville, Lowndesvill", Culhorn's Mills,
Bradlcy's Mills, and Abbevillc village
willing to make their taxes one-fourth
more in order to accommodate the people
of Ninety-SiX to a court house? We
think not.
The lines Of thc'old counties were cs.ab-
lishcd in the infancy of the country, ass,
or in the ninth year Of American indie
pendence,) and they have sc remained ev-
or since. The old Court Houses arc ~
near the middle Of the counties a. it is
possible, audit isnot harder upon Ninety
Six to come to Abbcvilic COurt House
than it is for the people of tho Range,
DonaldSville OF Lowddcsville. If Ninety
Six should cut off what the advocates of
the new county nave mapped out it will
reduce the county to the lowest number
of square miles allowed by law, and the
people of these sections will he forever
barred from any chance Of having Il
Court House of their own. If we have
two hundred and fifty square miles more
than the minimum number, IS it right that
Ninety-SiX should ask to take the whole.
We think not. Lowndcsvilic, DOnaldS-
vile and the Range should come III for
their share, IN case they ever want to es-
. tablish a-Court House.
We do not see how Ninety-SiX, in JUS
tice to the other portions of the county
who are as far from the Court House as
they are, can ask from AbLevillc county
more than sixty-two square miles, as other
portions of tho county have an equal
claim to their pro rata Of any excess CT
ground.
One reason why the citizens of III" newt
