.. YORKVILLE, S. C. ? ??>? ? THURSDAY M0BHDT6, ATTGKJ8T17,186* OURSELVES. ^ resume the publication of the S ; Enquirer this morning, with the expectation of issuing it regularly hereafter on every Thursday, should we receive sufficient substantial encouragement to warrant it. The terms are: Eour Dollars per ani :num; One Dollar for three months, or ten cents for a single copy, when paid in "greenbacks." When payment is made in specie, we will make the proper discount and receive it at its market value. r Country produce of every description1 -will be received at market prices, for subscriptions or advertising. Our terms are higher than before the war. This is rendered necessary from the-fact that every article used in connection with the publication of a newspaper has advanced in price. "VYhen. ever circumstances justify it, we shall reduce our prices to the old standard. ' Subscribers who have already paid for the paper, will be supplied with it for the period which they have paid.? Those on our subscription list who have not paid, will. be furnished with the wiivnkAn wknn if itrill kn diCAnri pi UdCliW liUIUWVij TIUVU AV nil! MV WWVVMtinued, until we receive "indemnity for the past and security for the future." The paper will not be furnished here after to any person on indefinite credit. It is our purpose after the mails are re-established throughout the country, t to-enlarge the paper to double its pres-, ent size.- Prom what"we can learn, we think we shall"be enabled to do this in about six weeks or two months. In resuming the publication of the Enquirer, wc have considered more the wants of our former patrons, probably, than our individual interest. How. ^evec, we propose to continue the paper. 5"" for the purpose of laying before the public the many State papers afloat, which would otherwise not reach a large part of the community. We will have little room for 'comment on matters of < Government, were such altogether allowable, but, with the lights before us, * we shall oontinue to urge upon the peo v pie a laying aside of former differences, . and a generous emulation as to who can best serve the country, in this her hour of trial. We are commencing the politidhl world anew, and great changes are upon us?we must set to work to meet the emergency in a proper spirit?to accept the ' terms of reconstruction, however humiliating they may appear, and mate the best use we may o? our . present opportunities. The institution of slavery is gone forever; and it is useless, it is folly, it is criminal to distract the codntry with party/ams at this time. But one thing is left us?to take the Amnesty Oath, and enter at once into the sober duties of the citizen. It *. shall be our object to represent, the ? District, and it will he our pride to show it as loyalto the old Government, as it vras to the unfortunate principles of the four years war. ' THANKS 1 We arc under obligations to W. J.

WHYTE. -We are pained to learn the death cf this old and worthy citizen, at his resi. dence ia tlft Indian Land, on Tuesday of last week. Mr. W. was a Northerner by birth, but has for many years been a citizen of this District, which he ha? served acceptably in many important positions. was gifted missed in our District, which, deeply * sympathises with his children in their great affliction. "The end of the good man is peace/' S" % i the confiscation acts, &o. ' We have before ub the Charleston Courier, of .recent dates, in which a concise review iB made of the several Acts of Congress passed during the tfour years of the war, which, while giving a clear insight into the workings or bearings of the several acts themselves, must show how necessary it is for every citizen to take the oath at once, to meet the emergencies so plainly set before them. We shall publish the articles in full in our next issue, as we think them of the highest importance to every individual. accommodation. It will.be seen by the advertisement in another column, that our public spir ited fellow-citizen, w. h. hose, naB started a coach line between this place and Rock Hill, on the Charlotte Rail Road, which will enable onr people once more to see and be seen by the outer world. In' the absence of rail road communication, this enterprise should be rewarded, and we trust it will be, that the proprietor may be induced to keep it up, as his fare, is really fair enough. , ? THE CHOPS. " Though the wheat- crop has proven almost a failure throughout our District,-. the season Has been most propitious for the corn, which promises to be the largest yield we liave had for many years. Vegetation, generally, is flourishing, while the fruit trees are breaking down under their unusual burthen, though, the fruit is by no means good, having been affected by the wet weather. But little cotton has been planted, while caa/1 in ofld wB Trot, frnm the abundance of grain promised the farmer, he looks forward to next year for his return, as far as possible, to the old system of cultivation. It is a mistake to suppose that there is any large quantity of cotton in the District, and it is also a mis7 % take to suppose that holders will be compelled to sell at the low prices offered ; though it is desirable that a market may be made, that our people may have some sort of currency to operate with.

FEDERAL FORCES IE" MEXICO. According to our information, General Sheridan has under his command an army jf seventy or eighty thousand men in Texas, and it is understood that their station is to be on or very near the Mexican border. This army is called an "army of observation," bat the presence ofsuoh aforoe in such a locality at such a time seems to have a good deal of important significance. Sorely a force of nearly a hundred thousand cannot be supposed to be needed for the purposes of observation. Not one in a thousand of them will do anything in the way of observing. We guess that Louis Napoleon will not hesitate in bis construction of this great movement. Be will understand it as having reference to himself and to the Imperial power in Mexioo. Ho will regard it as a gage of battle thrown defiantly at his feet. Of coarse wb don't know whether ho will return the defiance and take np the gage, but Yf.e don't think he will. He will probably deem it the wiser and more prudent coarse to get up a quarrel with Maximilian,. withdraw the Frenoh troops from Mexico, and leave Max-to his fate.
