would be incontestable evidence^that I had no brains
myself?that I was a maniac at the very least No- I
body, who dreams that a traveler through these t
regions has any money, can be in his right mind; ,
and would be promptly arraigned before a Court '
de Lunatico Inquxraxdo.
"Hen, what?"
Just at this point we went up to him, clapped
him on the shoulder, and told him he had been
thinking aloud, and gave him the above soliloquy. (
He answered that we were mistaken; and swore
that he had been thinking of nothing of the kind?
that he had been musing over sweet memories of 1
other days?unfulfilled dreams of hope, that lay upon
the flowery lap of Fancy?and of the ge-lorious \
* future. ' I
We knew better. J
But the poor fellow's head is evidently turned
by his misfortunes; and we turned our own head 1
away; and left him to his reflections, there leaning
against the tree near the market, looking down towards
the new Penitentiary.
WHAT LABOR CAN ACCOMPLISH.
The Orangeburg Newt says a worthy citizen of ]
the Fork, with two small sons, made 400 bushels 1
corn. 60 bushels Rice, 4 bales Cotton, and a plenty i
of all kinds of Drovisions. A colored family work- ]
ing on the same plantation, superior in force to the
above, made 20 bushels Corn, a light bale of Cotton,
10 bushels Rice, and other articles of produce
in proportion.
Another gentleman of the same section, who is <
one of our best practical planters, with 3 white laborers
and one or two half hands, made a crop fully
equal in every respect to that of 30colored working
hands on the same ground in former seasons. 1
Another friend of oure in another part of the "
Fbrk, with 3 plow hands and 3 hoe hands, all white, r
made 500 pounds Indigo, 2 bales Cotton, 550 bush- c
els Corn, 150 bushels Peas, 50 bushels Rice, 300 t
gallons syrup, ran a Grist Mill for the benefit of t
himself and neighbors, made Finders and Potatoes e
in abundance, realized one hundred dollars from 1
the sale of Watermelons, all on lands counted poor.
I We like this system of Agriculture; our people
must no longer trust to making money out of one leading
staple; they must pay their attention to
diversity or crops, and make each contribute its j
quota to the profits of the year. This is the only system
of planting that will pay in these days, on our f
average lands.

The Back Tax?An Important Change.? ]
It is rumored that General Canby has detennin- ?
ed to annul the State tax upon sales and gross re- t
ceipts for the year 1866, imposed by the Legislature a
in December of that year. o
The report will,. it is hoped, be found literally J
true. Genera] Canby has already shown that he
understands the necessities of our position, and he e
is willing to give our people relief [ and will richly i,
deserve the thanks of the community; if he cancels I
a tax which is of doubtful constitutionality and a c
greater burden than our merchants can bear. To a
' enforce the collection of the back tax would be to
rain many of oar busines men, who arc nevertneless
able, at present, to meet their current taxes. _
They can meet the taxes of 1867 and 1868; but
they did not expect, and cannot pav, an exorbi- j
tant tax, for a year the operations 01 which had
been completed when the tax itself became a law. y
General Canby has doubtless considered these
things carefully and deliberately; and such a con- c
sideration could not well result in any other thing o
than the immediate repeal of the tax. These, per- 0
haps, are the grounds of the current rumor, of ?
h wnicn a speedy and favorable confirmation is anx- 1(
p iously desired by every man who has the good of a
this city at heart?Charleston .Neios. b

ON THURSDAY, the Second day of January,
1868, the YORKVILLE ENQUIRER will
enter the fourteenth year of its publication, and
the proprietor takes pleasure in informing the
public, that arrangements have been completed
whereby the paper will lose none of the interest
which has characterized it heretofore.
Mr. JAS. WOOD DAVIDSON will continue
his versatile and trenchant Contributorials from
the State Capital, and will keep the readers of the
ENQUIRER fully posted on all matters, within
his province, which are worthy of being known
and recorded.
An arrangement has been made to continue the
services of WM. H. BR A WLEY, Esq.. as a Contributing
Editor from Chester, who is chanrod
with the duty of furnishing to the ENQUIRER,
all matters of local interest to the people of Chester
District. From the energy he has displayed
heretofore, the Proprietor feels assured that the
readers of the ENQUIRER, in Chester District,
will realize the fact that "a chiel's amang them
takin notes, and faith, he'll prent 'em."
As a contribution to the local history of York
District, there will be published, during the year,
A HISTORY OF BETHESDA CHURCH.
Written for tho ENQUIRER by tho late lamented
Rev. John S. Harris, to which will be added a
short biographical sketch of the author, together
with a list ol the members of Bethosda congregation,
who fell in the late war. The history goes
back to the organization of the Church, anterior
to the Revolutionary War of1776, and will possess
great interest to all readers who aro familiar with
things pertaining to York District.
The general conduct of the paper will be the
same as heretofore?presenting in each issue an
interesting melange, suited to the tastes and wants
of every class of readers. The MARKETS of
Yorkvillo, Chester, Charlotte, Columbia, Charleston
and New York, will be reported from latest
dates. THE FARMER will find his column occupied,
as usual, with seasonable articles ; whilst
those who love to "laugh and grow fat," will he
presented with tho accustomed repast of WIT,
HUMOR and SENTIMENT.
THE ENQUIRER will keep up closely with
the News of the Day?with equal care eschewing
the discussion of political or vexed questions, ana
avoidingthe insertion of any reading matterwhich
will detract from the character it assumes as
A LITERARY AID FAMILY MMl
The Proprietor takes pleasure in announcing
that early in the year, the publication of an ORIG INAL
STORY OF THE LATE WAR will to
commenced. The story is from the pen of Mr.
JOHN WITHERSPOON ERYIN, of Manning,
S. C., who is probably one of the best writers in
this department of literature in the Southern
States^ The Story is of a LOCAL CHARACTER,
and is one of the most entertaining that has been
offered to the Southern public in many years.
It is entitled
"ISOLETTE, THE FEMALE SPY,"
A Story of Charleston and the War.
Tho scene is laid in Charlestonand on the islands
in the vicinitv. from whence some of the Drinci.
pal characters are transferred to Virginia. The
Story is FOUNDED ON FACTS, and some of the
characters are yet alive. To those who are partial
to this kind of literature, the Story will be worth
at least a year's subscription to the ENQUIRER.
In order to reward those persons who may be
disposed to assist us in procuring subscribers, the
Proprietor has determined to offer the following
VALUABLE PREMIUMS
for the Largest Clubs:
A WEED'S SEWING MACHINE, which will
cost in Now York, Sixty-five Dollars. This
machine is represented to us, by persons who are
judges, as being equal to any that is made, and
worth the money at which it is rated.
The next Premium, in value, will be a COMPLETE
FILE of the YORKVILLE ENQUIRER
for eleven years?from 1855 to 1867?bound in
a substantial mannor. and embracing FOUR
LARGE BOOKS. This premium is reckoned to
be worth Fifty Dollars, and containing, as it
does, a running history of the period embraced, is
of great value as a medium of reference, besides
furnishing a large quantity of reading matter at
all times interesting.
The" next Premium, in value, is one of AMES'
DOUBLE CORN SHELLERS, worth TwentyDollars.
This machine is substantial and well
made, and is altogether worth the price fixed upon
it.
jZ-9-Tho person making the largest Club of
subscribers, at $1 75 each, in Specie, or $2 50 in
Currency, will be entitled to the first choice of
premiums; the person making the second largest,
tho second choice ; and the person making the
third largest, the third choice.
The Premiums will be awarded to the successful
competitors ON THE FIRST MONDAY IN
FEBRUARY NEXT, at 3 o'clock, p. m. The
names should bo sent in, however, as tney are obtained
; additions being made to the lists up to
the day of award. No names will be counted until
paid for. It is not required that members of a
Club shall be all at one post office, but the paper
will bo forwarded as desired. Persons who are
already subscribers, may join clubs, and commence
