PREMIUMS FOR CLUBS?1870. The Proprietor announces three premiums for the three largest Clubs of Subscribers to the Enquirer for the year 1S70, amounting, in the aggregate, to Seventy-Five Dollars in cash. The first premium will represent the value of Thirty-Five Dollars ; the second, the value of Twenty-Five Dollars ; and the third, the value of Fifteen Dollars. The Proprietor, instead of designating special articles as premiums, has adopted the above plan in order that persons who secure the premiums may select whatever article may be preferred, of the value to which each may be entitled. The person gettingup the largest Club, at $2.50 for each subscriber, will be entitled to the first of the above premiums; the person getting up the second largest, to the second premium; and the third largest, to the third premium. Competitors may begin procuring subscribers at once?the time of subscription to commence whenever the name is handed in, or on the first of January, 1S70, as may be preferred.. The money for each subscriber is expected to be paid whenever the names arc en tered on our books, and no name will be counted in competition until it is paid for. To persons who make up Clubs of ten or more names, but who may fail to obtain a prcmiunj, we will send the Enquirer, one year, free of charge ; and to those who send a Club of twenty or more names, but who may fail to get a premium, we will forward a copy of the Enquirer, one year, free of charge, and a copy of the Rural Carolinina and the Southern Cultivator, or a copy of the Enquirer and either, Godcy's Lady s Booh, Peterson's Magazine, Frank Leslie's Lady s Magazine, or any weekly newspaper published in the United States. ESP The premiums will be awarded to the successful competitors at one o'clock, p. m., on the Second Monday in March, 1870. ENLARGEMENT OF THE ENQUIRER. On the first of January next, the size of the Enquirer will be increased by the addition of one column to each page and by lengthening its columns, so that the enlargement will be equivalent to seven of its present columns. It will then be, without exception, the largest paper printed in the State. i The increasing pressure upon our advertising columns renders this enlargement necessary, in crder that our subscribers may have the usual variety of reading matter. But, notwithstanding 1 die increase of size, there will be no increase of 1 price. We propose to furnish our readers with as 1 jood a paper as can be furnished for the price < tnywhere. In, the management of the paper, the wane principles will be observed as have always i joverned it. The prominent object will be to m?.inain a high tone, courteous to all, partisan for none, ' )ut reserving the rightof a free expression of opin- 1 on at all times and on all subjects. i In tliis connection we would call upon the friends < if the Enquirer to still further increase its circuation, and tender our thanks to them for what 1 hey have already done. While wo have not relied mtirely upon the aid of friends, and believe in ] iclping ourselves before we ask help from Jupiter, i till we put a high value upon such aid. By way if return, we promise that the more the circula- 1 ion of the Enquirer increases, the better paper re will make it. ; ? ? ? TIIE GRAND LODGE OF S. C. ( The Grand Lodge of Ancient Free Masons of j South Carolina met in Charleston on the 16th in- ] tant, M. W. James Conner, Grand Master, pre- ] iding. Nearly all the lodges in the State were epresented. In his opening address the Grand i Haster represented the craft to be in a very flourshing condition, Thirteen dispensations were I granted to lodges during the year, and there are . ine hundred and forty-three lodges now in opera ion in the State, with six thousand members. < rhe action of these subordinate lodges has been ;ept within the bounds of recognized Masonic priniiples, and no conflict of jurisdiction has arisen. The Grand Lecturer, Brother B. Rush Camp>ell, presented his annual report, which was acepted and referred to a committee. A resolution ' ras adopted, allowing said committee to remain in ! ession until the next annual communication, in irdcr that they may have time to propose a plan or the election or appointment of District Deputy 1 jirand Masters. The Grand Secretary, Brother R. S. Bruns, jresented his report on foreign correspondence, 1 yhich was accepted. The following resolution was 1 idoptcd, in reference to the report: Resolved, That the Grand Master appoint a com- , nittee at this communication to remain in session; md that the Grand Secretary do furnish to the said * lommittee, two weeks previous to the next annual lommunication, his report on foreign correspon- I lence, so that the committee may have time to ex- | unine the same, and make such recommendations ( or the action of the Grand Lodge as in their opin- ' on may secui fit. ' Resolutions of thanks to the Grand Secretary or the faithful discharge of his duties in the past, nid regret that lie can no longer till the olhce, were ' maniinously adopted. I The committee on the New Ilall made a report, luthorizing the mortgaging of the present build- < ing, and referring it to a special committee of three, ] in connection with the Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master, Grand Secretary and Grand Treas- 1 urer, to purchase a site for a new hall. After con- i siderable discussion, the report was adopted. < The following resolutions were offered, ordered :o bo printed with the proceedings, and made the i special order for 1 p. m., on the first day of the ' iext annual communication: 1 Resolved, That the jurisdiction of subordinate odges under this jurisdiction shall bo the geo- i graphical centre between all contiguous lodges. i Resolved, That the penal jurisdiction of a lodge ] is the right of trial and enforcement of discipline ( m its own members, without regard1 to their place )f residence, and also of members of other lodges nit of the State living within its territorial juris- 1 diction, and non-affiliated Masons living within or temporarily remaining therein. i Amendments to articles 19 and 104 of the con- j stitution were read and laid over till the next reg- ! alar communication. All the amendments to the < institution which were offered last year, were re- i ected. The Grand Master was, by resolution, re- 1 juested to incorporate in his next annual address i such decisions made by him as he may think of im- i portance to the craft in this jurisdiction. After he transaction of other business of minor interest, < :hc following officers were elected for the ensuing i Masonic year and installed in due form: f i'nmd Mitsh r.?M. W.

We have received the prospectus of a monthh magazine to be published at Davidson College, un der the supervision of six members of the sonio: class, the first number to be issued in January, i the subscription list will justify it Terms?singl< subscriber $2 per annum; a club of six, $10; ? cluhoften, $18. We cordially recommend this enterprise to al who wish to assist either the cause of education it general, or the succc&s of Davidson College in par ticular. Composition is the best test of education, as it infallibly shows whether or not the scholai has mastered the studies gone over, and disciplined his mind to its two great tasks of thinking and expressing thought. A college literary magazine, while it shows the progress already made in the education of its contributors, will also furnish s healthy stimulus to further progress by offering both opportunity and inducement for the practice oi composition. We hope our young friends will meet with abundant success in extending theii subscription list, and also in establishing a magazine of high literary standing. SURVIVORS* CONVENTION. In response to the irvitation of the Charleston Survivors' Association, a convention met in Charleston last Thursday, composed of South Carolinians who participated in the late war. Twenty-two counties were represented, partly by delegates from county associations and partly by individuals from counties having no such associations, who enrolled their names as members by invitation. Gen. /. B. Kershaw was called to the chair, and Messrs. T. Pinkney Lowndes and Pierre Bacot were requested to act as secretaries. A letter from Gen. John S. Preston, endorsing the Association and tendering bis best wishes for its success, was read and ordered to be preserved with the minutes. In the afternoon, a constitution was adopted and the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: LieutenantrGeneral Wade Hampton, president ; Lieutenaht-General R H. Anderson, first vice-president; Major-General Jas. B. Kershaw, second vice-president; Major T. G. Barker, third vice-president; Colonel A. C. Haskell, secretary; Captain W. It. Bachman, treasurer. JSxccutii-e Committee.?Col. Edward McCrady, Col. W. N. Wallace, Gen. E. Capers, Col. J. H. Rion, Gen. James Conner, Col. 0. J. Walker, Col. J. McCutcheon. On motion of Colonel McMaster, it was resolved that the Executive Committee be instructed to assess the District Associations a sum not less than fifty dollars each for the purpose of defraying the current expenses of the year, and that the Secretary be instructed to notify them of the fact. The "Widows'and Orphaus' Home" of Charleston was cordially recommended to the attention of county associotions, as an institution intended to aid the widows and orphans of Confederate soldiers, and the members pledged themselves to use their endeavors to obtain contributions for it. The Association then adjourned to meet in Charleston next November. In the evening the members of the convention were entertained by the Charleston Association with a supper at the Mills House. Two hundred invited guests were present. The Courier gives the following list of toasts offered on the occasion: The first toast of the evening, "Old South Carolina," was responded to by Major T. G. Barker ind Hon. Jas. B. Campbell. Mr. Geo. Bryan proposed the next toast, "Robt. E. Lee," which was ably and eloquently responded to by Col. F. W. McMaster, of Columbia. The next toast, "Wade Hampton," had the effect of bringing the entire company to their feet tvith three rousing cheers. Major Barker was jailed upon and responded with a glowing tribute to that distinguished soldier. Colongl Rutledge next gave "The Memory of jur Departed Comrades, the Confederate Dead," llluding in touching terms to their patriotism and levotion to country. The toast was drunk standing and in silence. _ Colonel P. C. Gaillard proposed "The Army of Northern Virginia,,' and the toast was received tvith a real good old rebel hurrah. Col. Wm. Wallace made an eloquent response to the toast By Gen. Conner?"The Army of the West." Responded to by Capt. Wm. Elliott. By Col. Z. Davis?"Sumter." Responded toby Dol. Alfred Rhett. ' By Capt. F. W. Dawson?"The Women of the War." STATE ITEMS. ? There are only $14,000 in specie in the Na:ional Banks of South Carolina. The deposits imount to one million dollars. ? The Land Commissioner's Report shows fortyive thousand acres purchased in several counties ind now being surveyed and subdivided. ? The collector of the port of Charleston has seen authorized to increase the force at the Cus:omhouse, owing to the increasing trade at that port. ?The Legislature met in Columbia last Tuesday. DeLarge, Chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, expresses the delightful opinion :hat the session will not last over six weeks. ? The Chester Reporter, of lost week, says Dr. Cameron, who lives near Halsellville, was brought to that town a few days ago by the constables, for shaking his fist at a negro. He promptly gave bail and was discharged. "Let us have peace." ? The passenger fare on the South Carolina Kailroad has been materially reduced. From Charleston to Columbia the reduced fare is $5 20; to Augusta $5 50, and to Camden $5 70. From Augusta to Columbia the fare is $-1 50. The rcluction is equivalent to 20 per cent, on former prices. ? The Monumental Association of the First S. C. Regular Brigade held its first annual meeting in Charleston last week. Subscription lists were opened, which were liberally responded to by the members, and fuvorable reports were received from the members of the committee to prepare a history of the brigade. The next meeting will be held in Charleston on the 15th of November, 1S70. ? On last Friday, during a public sale at Laurens Court House, a difficult y arose between two trcedmen. Mr. S. Armstrong interfered, which led to a quarrel between himself and Mr. S. D. Owings, who formerly owned one of the negroes. Both parties drew their pistols and commenced fi ring. Mr. Owings was killed. ? The Chester Reporter of the 18th instant jays: "Mr. Wm. F. Knox met with a serious injury on Monday night, at the hands of one J. McDowell, from which it is thought he will not rejover. The parties were out hunting possums and met in the woods; their dogs got to fighting; this led to a quarrel between the men, which resulted in Mr. Knox receiving a blow in the head with an IXC. ?A special telegram from Columbia to the Charleston Republican says: "It has transpired that at the recent meeting of the Blue Ridge Railroad director the Crcsswell contract was declared forfeited for failure to fulfil stipulations. The stockholders endorsed the action. A new Board of t ' Directors was elected: T. J. Robertson, Henry i Gourdin, J. W. Harrison, William Gurney, G. A. i Trenholm, Jas. L. Orr, William McKinlay, J.

( The Courier says that the Bank of Charles- j tori is in a condition to resume under the Act of the Legislature, which allows any bank, chartered? i before the war, to resume business by the first Of ] December, provided it has. a clear capital, over and ] above its bills and outstanding liabilities, of fifty ( thousand dollars. Its surplus, at the appraised ( market value of tho day, amounts to $824,000, , after paying all claims against the bank. The j stockholders wore to meet last Tuesday, to decide ( upon the question of re-opening the bank. j The Courier, of the 20th, adds that the stock- . holders of the Planter's and Mechanic's Bank will ] on next "Wednesday go into an election for four ( Directors, preparatory to the resumption of busi- ] ness. A meeting of the stockholders of the Peo- f pie's Bank is called for Monday, the 29th instant, to determine the future policy of the Bank. { Gen. Grant's Pedigree. I A gentleman of an enquiring turn of mind, ] Mr. Edward Chauncy Marshall, who certainly i must bo in want of rational employment, has writ- c ten a book entitled "The Ancestry of General 1 Gratft." From this valuable work it appeare that, s notwithstanding the immenco preponderant of c "Bourbon" in his composition, there is a touch of r .Puritan in him. One of his ancestors, second to c the original old ho Grant of all, married a Delano, i According to Mr. Marshall, "the Delano blood is the oldest American blood which the General has, j as it dates from the year after the Mayflower." We presume the year referred to must have been ] the year when "the bloom was on the rye." If there is any correctness in the theory of hcpeditary tastes, his ancestors preferred the odor of that . particular bloom to May or any other kind of rj flowers. The Bank of Georgetown. Some time ago Messrs. Manning & DeForrest, Northern bankers, sued the Bank of Georgetown, to recover the value of certain of its bills in -\ their possession. Messrs. J. Si T. Greene, also creditors of the bank, applied to the United States i. Circuit Court at Charleston, for a bill of injunction ^ to restrain Messrs. Manning & DeForrest from pursuing a suit at law for the amount of their j claims. Judge Bryan granted the injunction last week, and appointed a Receiver, R. E. Fraser, of Georgetown, to take possession of the assets of the j, bank and hold them for the benefit of its creditors. { It was ordered that parties having claims against ^ the bank must prove them before the Clerk of the j U. S. Circuit Court on or before the 1st of March, 1870, and Daniel Horlbeck, Esq., was made a spe- cial referee, to take the accounts of the bank and . hear and receive tho claims of the respective cred- j itors and report thereon, with power to take testi- , mony and leave to report any special matter. j The Asheville Railroad Extension. A meeting was held at Spartanburg C. II. n last Thursday night, in reference to the extension ^ of the Spartanburg & Union railroad to Asheville, (J N. C. Colonel R. J. Gage, of Union, was made ^ President of the meeting, and R. W. Shand, Esq., c Secretary. Col. Blake, of Asheville, explained the importance of the enterprise, stating that this c is one of the only two missing links in the direct i] railroad connection between Charleston and Louis- s ville, Ky. The other gap, between Morristown c and Cumberland Gap, forty miles in length, is al- t ready partially provided for, and the building of a fj road from Spartanburg to Asheville would ensure a the building of the other road. Mr. Jeter, Presi- n dent of tho S. & U. R. R., proposed a plan to re- f move the present indebtedness of the road and f then mortgage the road to secure and complete j. the extension. Other speakers made estimates of c the cost, varying from ?1,500,000 to $3,000,000. r It was finally resolved that a meeting of the stock- t holders be called to take some definite action in ^ the matter. Also that the members of the Legis- j. lature from Union and Spartanburg be requested r to act as a committee to secure State aid for the c enterprise. y Charleston Masonic Fair. q The fair held by the Masonic lodges, chap- c tors and commapderies last week was a complete s success, according to the Charleston papers, both as to the display of articles and the attendance of t visitors. The Courier speaks of it as surpassing i, all other fairs ever held in the cit3'. There was, a ]j great variety of attractions to tempt the purses of t, visitors, some -of them being rather out of the t usual line of fair articles. Among these was a u menagerie, under the supervision of the Messrs. t Takcmin and Doembrowne, containing an ourang o outang, a gorilla, an antelope, an ibex and a roar- a ing lion. A dwarf, aged twenty-seven years, eigh- c teen inches high and weighing forty-five pounds,- e and a fat boy of seven years' growth, weighing c three hundred and fifty, were also among the live 31 stock of the menagerie. ii Another specialty was a set of fine instruments fi and utensils for the fire department, exhibited by ti Washington Lodge and raffled for on Saturday fi night by the various fire companies of the city. " Solomon's Lodge adorned their table with a large e ship, thoroughly rigged and in full sail, which w made that table the sailors' headquarters at the I fair.

Washington correspondents aro speculating >n the probabilities of the removal of AttorneyGreneral Hoar from the Cabinet, to suprly the vacancy in the Supreme Court caused by the recenl leath of Associate Judge Wayne, of Georgia. A collision between the Supreme Court and Con gress, on the constitutionality of the reconstruc tion acts, is threatened by the decision in the Yer gcr case, granting a writ of Jiahcas corpus to tin prisoner. Several plans have been suggested t( prevent such a calamity, as the Radical part} would consider it; but the one to be adopted seem; to be to change the sentiments of the Court bj filling it with well-known Radicals. As Mr. Hoai has given indubitable evidence of his willingnesi to render any opinion or make any decision wliat ever that will please his owner, Gen. Grant, h< stands a fair chance of being shoved into the va cancy which has so opportunely occurred. Th< change will be rather a "set-back" than a promo tion to Mr. Hoar, as his position will be neithei so prominent nor so influential as his present office But that is a matter of littlo' consequence to any body but himself. He w wanted for opinions he is now wanted for decisions, so hfrmust go.It is useless to make conjectures as to his sue cessor in the Attorney-Generalship. Geo. Gran will only secure another opportunity for suprisin/ rhe country, and he is likely to improve it, b; trumping up somebody never before heard of.

I lave heard of no.certnin cure. Several remedies lave been recommended, but I consider none, that ! have heard of, certain to cure after the hog has icon attacked. "We think the disease may, in n Teat measure, be prevented by an abundant use f salt, sulphur, copperas and tar. These are all heap, and easily obtained and. administered. Any armer, having information on this disease and its ure, would confer a favor by publishing the same. About last March a multitude of people became nthusiastic on the commercial manure question. ?bey purchased and applied- the same. The reults we do not know. We certainly.see no signs f that same enthusiasm now, in November. On his question people should think and figure a little. ?bey should consider whether the present mode of pplying these manures will pay, one year with notlier. *We believe in Guano, and the Phos>hates and the Bones; but we do not like to see a armer paying $100 for a ton of Guano, while he >cnnits the winter rains to wash away $200 worth if manure from his lots and lanes and fence coricrs. All that is wrong. Save all you can first, hen buy to the full extent of your means. A ;ood plan to save is to have a covered pen, and icgin now to fill it up with alternate layers of mainre from the cow lot, stable and cotton seed, and very other available source, In March, this heap rill surprise you, if you work at it industriously. !Yy it this winter and then add your commercial aanurcs to it in the spring. Speaking of cotton cod reminds us of the "Oil Cake question." Let us say here, that it is our policy never to ener into newspaper controversies.

To show how iscloss it would be to enter into controversy, take his example. We put the price of cotton seed at 5 cents, "A" at 13*. We have a neighbor who sserts that cotton seed paid him more than 50 ents per bushel last year on wheat. "A" could asily bring up cases where they were not worth 5 ents per bushel, used as a manure. Hence, you ce the folly of arguing on that point. We retract i regard to sacks, also in the small matter of reight. But, after all, we do not think it will pay he farmer of the up-country and at a distance rom the rail road, to send his Beed to Columbia. 'A" thinks it will pay. That is an honest differncc of opinion. Let the farmers take it up and rork it out for themselves. We hope it will pay. f so, it would pay much better to have mills nearr home. We hope that will soon be the case. ?he oil should be extracted from the seed, and we rust the Columbia Mill will have such success as o cause mills to be built iu every county. P. LOCAL ITEMS.

The objects are - to prepare'correct records of the events of the war, r while those who took part in it are still living, and . before their recollections of these events have be come dim; to cherish the memory of their fallen ; comrades; and, in a measure, to render aid to their widows and orphans. Have the "old soldiers" of York no desire to t renew the ties which bound them together for the ; four most historic and eventful years of their lives ? 7 Are there no deeds in which they shared, which they wish told to posterity correctly? And, lastly, wHrnislr-Urkeepfnah the memory and the praise?their only Toward?of those who scaled r their devotion to Carolina With their blood?

The "piece of ground," and the "oxen," and having "married a wife," were the vain reasons for non-complianco with duly,;in that day. What are they now ?; Oh, thecorn and the cot ton crops are short. . But the price is more than double of that, you, formerly obtained. Even the good wife's butter and eggs are worth, respective, ly, thirty and twenty cents. Your busbel of sweet ; potatoes have been sold for a dollar. Or, the right men are not at the head of the work. Dear reader ! you have my full [consent, that you take my "place in the picture." Or, our neighborhood is all right, and needs no missionary work. But, "who is my neighbor?" Go and ask, not the Priest, who "passed by on the other side," nor tlio Lovitfl. who merelv "looked" and passed on too, but ask the Samaritan, * ho, though at enmity, and no worshipper at Jerusalem, did charity and mercy, and elicited from the Saviour the command: "Go and do thou likewise." Selfishness is carnal, or sin itself, but charity, greater than faith or hope, is heavenly. Is it not true, that excuses and objections to any and every thing, connected with moral duty, are as plentiful as blackberries in summer, and furnish a far surer crop? The rains of heaven do not suit us! It is too hot or too cold ! It is all very well, but?13UT! . J Men of York! The Bible Society does not ask a tenth of all your produce; even a tenth of one bag of cotton may seem exorbitant. But what say you to a tenth of your husks? or to the tenth of ' your cotton seed ? or to a few bushels of potatoes, which may rot on your hands ? or, at all events, to | "two mites"? "There is that scattereth, and yet . increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty." The object of the Bible Society, in employing a Bible agent or colporteur, is not merely to supply the destitute with the Bible, but to visit you, reader, and, as far as practicable, every one in the County, and endeavor to stir up you and your families. your sons and.your daughters?all of us, to love the Bible, and increase and grow in knowledge of the inspired oracles of God and His Christ, for, "by these men live, and in them is the life of the soul." If any of us say: Wo have no sudh need, then it is plainly demonstrated, we are the very individuals, whom an agent or missionary should visit. Respectfully, &c, Tt. W. C. BEATTY. Nuvenihcr 24,1869.
