LETTER FROM BLACKSBL'RG. . Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer. Buicksburg, October 21.?Owing to the heavy raili which fell on ihe 16th, and the indisposition of Mr. Fife, the meeting he was to hold in this place, and which was announced in The Enquirer of last week to begin on Thursday, did not formally open until Sunday last, at 10.30 o'clock, when he addressed an audience of about 1,500 people. Our citizens turned out en tnasse, and people from the country, and the neighboring towns, in carriages, wagons, on horse and foot, poured in all morning, until long before the hour of service had arrived, the large tent was filled, and a great many were compelled to stand around the door. Mr. Fife's manner of speaking, though quiet and orderly, is bold, forcible, and aggressive. His voice is deep and sonorous, and while he does not appear to make any special effort to gain or hold the attention of his hearers, he easily keeps them interested in his subject, and never lets their interest flag. Quite a number of ministers of the different denominations are in attendance. Services are held twice daily, at 10.30 in the morning, and 7.30 in the evening. Collections are taken up nt every service. The seats from the Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist churches arc used in the tent, which is lighted with gasoline. The organ from the Baptist church furnishes the music and the choir have a large elevated platform, in full view of the audience. After the sermon, a special service is held for the anxious and mourners, and tracts distributed. I trust that Mr. Fife will be instrumental in doing a great amount of good among our people, and will leave our town in better condition spirtually and morally than he found it On Friday morning, between the hours of one and three, the residences of Maj. Jones and Miss Belknap, which stood near each other on Mountain street, were burned to the ground. It is not known ceitainly how the fire originated, but it is pretty evident that the rich ceiling with which the inside walls of Maj. Jones's house were lined, caught fire from the chimney, either in the hall or the room adjoining. The fire was first discovered by Mai. Jones when he came up from his office, and seemed to cover so small a space that he thought he could easily extinguish it without arousing his neighbors. He nwolce the family and all worked faithfully, but the flames gained snch headway that Mrs. Jones rang the alarm bell and aroused the occupants of Miss Belknap's house. Soon the crv of fire was sounded over the town, and our citizens, white and colored, responded promptly, but the fire had made such progress that nothing could be done to save the doomed buildings. Their attention was then turned towards saving as much furniture as possible from the burning houses, and the residence of Mr. Hartwell, which stands next south of Miss Belknap's. Owing to the rapidity with which the tire burned, and the intense heat, scarcely any of the contents of Maj. Jones's house were saved. The piano, most of the jewelry of each member, the Major's medals, his desk, and private papers, some chairs, clothing, and a few smaller articles, were all. The rest, the books, statuary, handsome paintings, elegant draperies, rare china, fine cutglassware, silverware, parlor, bed and dining room furniture, and indeed all tliat goes to make up not only a comfortable, but a beautiful and elegant home, the accumulation of years and the result of wealth and a cultured taste, around which cluug many tender associations, were in a brief space of time, reduced to ashes by the relentless fire. The I furniture in Miss Belknap's house, though slightly damaged, was saved with the exception of that in the dining room and kitchen, which belonged to Miss Nellie Slattery, Miss Belknap's housekeeper, who also lost her clothing. After strenuous efforts on the part our citizens, Mr. Hartwell's house and its contents were saved. It was badly Bcorched, however, and some of the doors, blinds and furnitured injured by being moved. There was no Insurance, and the loss falls about as follows: Maj. Jones, between ten and twelve thousand dollars; Miss Belknap, one thousand, and Miss Slattery several hdndrod. The fire cast a-shadow of regret and sorrow oyer ourwhole town, aud the sufferers have the sincere sympathy of all our people. The manv friends of Captain Waddell will be pleased to hear that his fractured leg is improving as fast as possible. Although still necessarily confined to his bed, he has a fair appetite, sits up and reads, enjoys a square meal and a royal Havana, as much as ever; is cheerful and lively and accepts the situation with a good mace. He is delighted to know that so many inquiries have been made through The Enquires, for his welfare, and is always pleased to see any ot his numerous friends. So little is said about State politics in our town, thnt I scarcely know how to define the situation. Judge Haskell has some adherents here who have always ibeen staunch and loyal Democrats, and believe strongly in theStrai^htout movement. They ignore the idea of Indenendentism in the Haskell crowd, and claim that as the Democratic party in this State is torn assunder, they propose to cling to the taction that is represented by Judge Haskell and his colleagues, as being most likely to give us a good State government _ On the other hand, a majority of our merchants?notably D. D. Gaston, K. A. Westbrook, D. L. Brown and ,,TL ??A Kovn alu'ova Kaon tniP ?T U19UIUUU OIVVUCIO?IUCU wuv u?< v ? to the Democratic party, feel thatwhilebothTillmanand Haskell have made mistakes, it is their duty to support the nominee of the party. Mr. Westbrook, with whom I had a conversation yesterday, on this question, is earnest in the belief that since Mr. Tillman was chosen by the white people of the State as their leader,, that every. white man should sustain that choice at the ballot box, and that this is no time for dissensions in the party, if we expect to .retain white^upremac.v in the State. I have two more reports to make of the sorghum crop. Mr. Albert Bcttis made 143 gallons of beautiful syrup from the cane which grew on three-fourths of an acre of ground. It was of the Yellow Orange variety. Mrs. Elizabeth Sepock made flftv-one gallons from one-third of an acre of ground, of the Red Top variety. Mr. and Mrs. B. F. White are in town attending the Fife meeting. Misses Nancy and Caroline Miller, of Ruthcrfordton, are visiting the family of Dr. W. Anderson. I Miss Nannie. Williams, of Lancaster, is spending a few days with Mrs. Otis Osborne. w. a. LETTER FROMIjNION COUNTY. Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer. Etta Jaxk, October 20. ?Rev. R. P. Smith has consented to preach a Thanksgiving sermon at Salem, on Thursday, 27th of November, proximo. We hope that our pieople will appreciate this sen-ice and give him a crowded house of interested hearers, briiifc their chil dren and allow them to join'in the exercises and feci that they are an integral part of a great nation whose 1 God is the Lord. The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Slates, died last Friday and was buried at . Salem yesterday. Mrs. ( Slates is lying verj^ low with puerperal fever. Our people, old and young alike, were much disa]>- ( pointed in consequence of the rain last Thursday, which prevented our attending the Bullock's Creek centennial exercises. From before daylight until high noon the rain fell in torrents. Some who, for that purpose, had left home the day before were present, and took part in the exercises. Under more favorable circumstances ' this would have been the greatest outpouring of people who ever assembled on tnese historic grounds. Too < much credit cannot be given Rev. R. P. Smith for bis , persistence in an enterprise which has placed the name of Rev. Joseph Alexander, D. D., where it properly be- ' longs?high up, upon the pages of American history. Several wells in this neighborhood have failed, and 1 t - engines supplied with water from them, have been com- < pelled to stop running. Since the enrtliquakc some of the wells have had more water in them than before. Mr. M. C. Dorman and Prof. Davis Jelferics have telephonic communication between Mr. Domain's house and the school house. The apparatus is one of their own construction and works admirably. In some places the cotton crop is turning out liettor fl.u,, ,rno 1,1 rttllPr tillinpH it 1M hilt little It-SS than a failure. I-ast Spring the Wilkinsville Sub-Alliance proi>oscd to give a premium of $50 for the liest acre of cotton grown | by any of its members. We learn that the amount , was not quite raised, but the result is, there are a number of good acres of cotton within this township, notwithstanding the many unpropitious tendencies of the season. Among the farm notes we have stored away for future reference, is the following, which we get from Mr. Waddv Thomson Osment: When the walnut crop makes a ' failure, the next year's wheat crop will be a failure also. sigma. LETTER FROM ROCK HILL. Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer. Rock Hill, October 21.?At the request of your correspondent, Major A. H. White furnishes the result of an acre planted by him in tomatoes. The cost of cultivation was $6.00; gathering, $10.20?total expense, $16.20. He gathered from this acre 340 bushels, which he sold at 20 cents per bushel, leaving him a protit of S51.K0. Now, could not the laud that would produce 340 bushels of tomatoes make two or three bales of cotton to the acre ? Will some of our farmers answer ? Mr. T. B. Lumpkin has been appointed agent of the Three Cs railroad at this place, and took churge of the office yesterday morning, succeeding Mr. A. Wartli resigned. Mr. Lumpkin lias been assistant agent of the R. and D. railroad here, and this selection will certainly be an advantage to the Three C"s, as his courteous manners and attention to business nave made him many friends. Mr. William Dilliughum, the "Old Reliable," will take the place of Mr. Lumpkin in the R. and D. freight depot. Colonel T, B. Demaree, International State Lecturer of the World, gav<LA temperance lecture in Roddey's hall last night, and will lecture again to-night. It is known that by an act of the legislature this is a dry town, but all evince a desire to hear him. A committee, consisting of Mayor S. M. Jones and Mr. John W. Dunovant, of Chester, was in town last week examing the system of electric lights in use here. Mr. Gillie Steele, late operator at the Three Cs depot here, has been appointed depot ugent at Fort I awn. Mr. C. F. Ziiutnele, the popular manager of the Cochran Cotton Seed Oil company, left on Sunday for Bethlehem, Pa., where he will lead to the ultar on to-morrow Miss Honeymun, of tliat city. Cotton came in freely Saturday, the past week having been nice weather for picking. We had out first frost yesterday morning, hut a very slight one. Rev. W. M. Anderson preached on Sunday night in the Chapel at the Standard mills, and Rev. James S. White in the Second Presbyterian church. hal. GOULD NOTES. Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer. Gocld, October 20.?On last Wednesday a large nuini... n,u?.io mi.itu iniA it... with tile ex IA.i V* |?.vVM1..V tMV pectation of attending the ccntenial exercises at Bullock's Creek on the following day; but they were sadly disappointed, as were many of our own people, Thursday being an unusually rainy day. We are having nice weather now, with rather ?>ol nights. Some persons report a slight frost in this section this morning. Some of our farmers have had u few bales of cotton ginned. Theyjsay it is turning out well, and in all prol>ubilitv, with favorable weather, the yield will be larger than last year, though the staple may not be so good. I think more corn will be gathered this year than last, though a larger per cent, will be of an inferior quality. The Messrs. Bankhead are tlnishing a neat and commodious store which will soon be ready for occupancy. Mr. Ellas Inman also expects to enguge in the mercantile business soon. This will give us tour stores, and as the proprietors are all Alliance men, we have all reasons to hope to buy goods cheap. ^ Peter Craig, an aged colored mnn living on Mrs. Smith's place, near Bullock's Creek church, had the misfortune to lose his house and its contents by tire one day last week. The live is supposed to have been accidental. Mr. T. B. Ratcliford came bear losing his cotton house by tire last Saturday night. The house contained at the time five bales of cotton. A negro in Mr. Katchford's employ, while on the cotton, struck a match and it broke, the lighted end falling on the lint, and in an instant a flame spread over the entire heap. It was with some difficulty that the blaze was extinguished without much damage. n. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer. Chester, October 21.?Captain T. Marshal Hunter has accepted a position as principal of the graded school at Newberry. He left here last Thursday for his new field. Sumter, son of J.

It is thought that the contract will be closed in a few days. The Mofliitt Manufacturing company lias commenced to dig out the foundation preparatory to building u foundry.

E. Guthrie's Spectacled. Mr. Robert E. Guthrie, of Guthriesvillo, is one of York county's most enterprising, and i successful farmers. He is thoroughly practical, and it does not take him long to see the 1 business side of a question, and for this reason j the following testimonial from him in regard to the value of the Corbin Disk Harrow is pos < 3essed of peculiar value: Guthriesville, S, Cm July 5,1839. ' I have a Corbin Disk Harrow which I have been using for several years, and consider it the most valuable farming implement of which j 1 have any knowledge. I use my Disk Har- , row in sowing all of my small grain, and it does the work better than any implement I have ever used. Land that has been cultivated ( In cotton or corn, may be sown without any , preparation whatever, and an ordinary hana, , with two mules, can sow and cover six to eight acres in a day. All that is necessary is to sow the seed on the ground, and then run the Har row over it one time; but better results will be obtained if the Harrow is run over the ground two or three times. As a time and money saver, aside from the superior quality of work it does, its value can hardly be estimated at ] the seasonB at which the small grain is sown. The Harrow is very useful in pulverizing rough plowed land of any kind, especially bottoms, and it will pay any farmer to use one. ; Unlike the ordiuary tooth or Acme harrow, it ; not only pulverizes the surface, but will pul- ( verize to the depth to which the plow has gone , and often deeper. It can be usea to advantage ' on land that is too wet to plow, without injury to the land. There should, in my opinion, be a Disk Harrow on every well regulated farm, and in my opinion no harrow yet introduced . is equal to the Corbin in simplicity, durability and thoroughness of work.

IT makes no difference to the purchaser of a Piano or Organ, how the dealer buys his instruments, just so he sells them right. I get iny instruments both FOR CASH AND ON CONSIGNMENT. I also get as good discounts as largo dealers, and I give the purchaser the benefit of them. My profits are not from $30.00 to $50.00 on an Organ, and $75.00 to $150.00 on a Piano, as nearly all other agents make. The buyer of a PIANO OR ORGAN Has all the expenses of a dealer to pay, such as traveling expenses, fancy clerks, professors, <fcc. I don't have that to charge upon my instruments. IF YOU WANT TO SAVE MONEY, And got a guaranteed instrument, come and see mo and the Opera Piano, the Lester Piano, and Iho Wilcox <fc White Organ, before you buy. I Will Not Re Undersold. GEORGE T.

Through the mails and by excess we do busiuess, and with all classes and :onditions of mankind, and the reputation and eliability of our house for ACCURACY IN BILLING PRESCRIPTIONS IS GROWING EVERY HOUR! No establishment in York :ounty, no matter in what business it is engaged, strives harder TO GAIN PUBLIC FAVOR Than we; and while the road to success, in any msiness, is rough and crooked and hard to ravel, we have accomplished much and we are letermined to accomplish much more. Conider the disadvantage under which we arose ,nd the high and exalted position we now told, against old established businesses with reditand cash to back them ; with prestige, and nfluontial friends to give them strength nd vigor, and it will not require a Solomon o point out the hundreds of crushed obstacles vbich laid in our path. But we are not now working in the past. It s the present and for the future. It is our riends to whom we look for patronage, and it s from them that we get it. Wo haye enmity t no man, and Ave expect to continue our msiness on the NEcrlt and the Reputation Von by care, judgment and experience. )ur Tinctures and Drugs are always pure, and ye compound prescriptions as cheaply as the ngredients will admit of. During the past year, aside from Paints and )ils, our Drug business has grown wonderfully.

Only a short while ago we accepted the ageny for the ECKSTINE WHITE LEAD, and i-e commenced calling the attention of the tublic to that meritorious article through this iapor, and it has about supplanted all other ;rades and qualities of Leads and Paints, and its lurability is a positive assurance. Look at the iriming of L. Geo. Grist's residence?just one oat remember?and put there a year ago, and sk him what he thinks about it. It is cheaper, otter, more durable than any paint ever irought to this market?a foct that other paints an't cover up ; and the company controlling his brand of paint is just as good for their bligations as the Bank of England is for a linger snap, and they oifer an ounce of gold or every ounce of adulteration therein confined.

"I Promise to Pay," Has been the death warrant of untold thousands. Can you expect to buy cheap on credit ? Credit is the tallow dip. Cash is the electricity of business. The time of darkness is passing away; the time of dawn is drawing near. We are no longer in the era of pack mules and stage coaches. This is an age of science and force. We must move on with the grand procession and throw off I he burdensome allegiance to the moldy crown of credit. Caali Is Our System. Credit is a frail network, but cash is the bulwark of strength, and is said to run the world, and will enduro for all times and in all ages. In this stage of infancy is the world of invention. We are as yet unable to navigate the air. To accomplish that will be one of the tasks reserved to posterity. Our trains will, to those who will live in ages to come, appear like the slowness of the snail. The limit to human greatness is to us unknown, yet we may well have an abiding belief in the doctrine that Only the Fittest Will Survive. Does this not convey a lesson to the presont ?
