Orr, Delivered before the Grand Lodge of Ancient Tree Masons of South Carolina, in the city of Charleston, on Tuesday oven ing, November 20: j BnETunr.N: 1 congratulate you upon as? sembling in yifur Annual Communication under auspices so favorable. Whilst, the husbandman has gathered but a scanty harvest from his toil during the year, anil whilst tumult and confusion pervade the political world, peace has brought to the Masonic craft, in this State, renewed pros nerity and tho means of a more extended benevolence to alleviate human Buffering. Let us, then, not forget to make our profound acknowledgments to tho Grand Architect of the Universe, for his manifold and b?n?ficient blessings, and so govern ourselves that the cynical will lind no good cause of reproach against our ancient and venerated institution. Let us mark the history of free Masonry with good works, and show how beautiful it is for brethren "to dwell" in peaco and unity together. Lotus minister with a generous charity to tho wants of our suffering and afilicted brethren-pour the balm of consolation in th? heart, and relieve tho crushing poverty which has overtaken their widows and orphans. Tho field in which we aro called to ?abor in this State, in ministering to thu wants of those who have a moral and Masonic right to call upon us for aid, is broad and expansive-let it not be choked ind blighted by tho neglected weeds of parsimony or callous heartlessness. With theso preliminary observations, I beg leave respectfully to report to you tho operations of this office. Not being present at your last annual communication in Columbia, you author? ized my installation as Grand" Master bv M. W. Brother B. Rush Campbell, Pae't Grand Master, in any subordinate lodge, and at as early a period as suited our con? venience. No convenient occasion arose, and after waiting until the first Monday in February, .iud finding that the accumulating buui liuss required the qualification of the Grand Master, I was pu that dav installed by M. W. Brother A. T. C. Pierson, Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Min? nesota, in Solomon's Lodge No 1, in this city. This ceremony was attended by brethren representing nearly every State in the Union-conducted by a worthy brother re? siding in the far West, and representing a people who, only, a few brief months be? fore, were arrayed in arms against our people, but wdio, as soon as tho obliga? tions and allegiance of tho belligerents to their respectivo Governments permitted, united on a common altar, and ouried the animosities of tho past in a bottomless pit of oblivion. No sooner was peace pro? claimed, than our fraternal relations were re-established, and tho harmony of our temple reconstructed without question, ?conditions or amendments. The charity of Christian churches has not yet been ?qua! to obliterating the bitter dissensions in tho past, and yet our brotherhood is firmly-gloriously-re-ostablished. Such is Masonry! May we prove worthy exemplars of an institution which teaches suchtonots as generously dispel all hate and malice against a brother. There havo been thorne signal illustra? tions of the completo restoration of frater? nal relations in every section of tho Union, and of the disposition of Lodges and brethren to alleviate the misfortunes which have overtaken f?s in various ways within the past few sad years. The Grand Lodge of tho State of PenH sylvania, with a noble disinterestedness, responded to tho appeal made by our Brethren Bruns and Simms, acting under authority of my predecessor, and donated $1,000 to* this Lodge. This donation was acknowledged by me, and a draft drawn in favor of Bro. Bruns for the amount on Bro. Williamson. Grand Treasurer of that Lodge, and paid by him to your Grand Treasurer. I suggest that somo action bo taken by you in acknowledgment of cur fraternal appreciation of this generous do? nation, ami that the correspondence be? tween M. W. Bro. Lucius H. Scott, Grand Master of Pennsylvania, and myself, on tho subject, be published with your pro ceedings. Scale worthy brethren in Boston havo presented a set of jewels to one of tho Lodges in this city, and a worthy brother in Now York succeeded in obtaining there a Past Master's jewel, which had L-C?II ab? stracted, and restored it to Landmark Lodge of this city, through Bro. Gurney. A brother in Syracuse, New York as in? terested himself to recover tho jewels of Claremont Lodge- supply such as could not bo reclaimed, and restored them. A brother from Illinois has recovered and kindly restored the Warrant of Constitu? tion of Allen Lodge; and several similar acts of kindness have been extended to the Lodges of this State, the details of which would not be of special interest. Since the 7th of February last, 1 have granted dispensations for seventeen now Lodges, which ia the largest number ever granted in this State in any preceding year, and furnishes the very highest evi? dence of tho incroasing prosperity, popu? larity and growing usefulness of our order. I recommend that Warrants of Constitu? tion bo granted them respectively. Tho names, locations and districts aro as fol? lows: 1. Barnett Lodge, Pier-? l,idorson District, 7th February, " 2.

Hopo Lodge, Kennedy's Milli, Barn? well District, 27th September, 18GC. bethel Lodge is situated in Spartanburg District, and was recommended by Reid villo Lodge, of the santo District. Shortly after tho dispensation waa granted. I re? ceived a communication from the W. M., of Wallace Lodge, Laurens District, com? plaining that Bethel was nearer to Wal? lace than Beidvillo ; tba? ttl o former had refused to recommend Bethel ; and that tho petition thus rejected was presented to Reidville and improperly granted. lt is about two miles nearer to Wallace than to Beidvillo, but the Kooree Liver, ! the dividing lino between Spartanburg and Laurens Districts, separates Wallace ami Bethel. When tho bridge at the Usual crossing chances to b* carried away by freshets, the distance to be traveled i. greater to Wallace than Beidvillo. As tin application came from residents of Spar? tanburg, and tiieir convenience as well as that of the surrounding community would be promoted, and as I believed ibero wa? abundant material of excellent quality foi both the Lodges, 1 did not revoke the dis? pensation, though the action of Reidvilh Lodge, and the action of tho petitioner! in failing to state tin? facts to 'me fully when the application was made, did nol Commend them to my upproval. Thc amendment to the 134th Article of tlu Constitution, adopted at tho last Commit nieation of the Grand Lodge, prohibits : Lodge located iu one District from elect ing or initiating any member residing ii another District, if then: be a Lodge ii the District where the candidate resides The material in Spartanburg, though mon convenient to Wallace, cannot be "workec by that Lodge, and 1 recommend that i Warrant of Constitution bo granted Bethe Lodge. I have received and bog to iay befor? you a memorial of the presiding officers o the Lodges in the city of Columbia, witl reference to tin; donation made this Gram Lodge by tho Grand Lodgo of the State o Pennsylvania. Tho Commissioners b; whom the donation was obtained ?Were ap pointed by thc.officers of the Grand Lodg< of this State to represent the necessitie of the Columbia Lodges, who had los their halls, jewels and furniture by th disastrous tire of February, 1805, and th request of these Lodges to have the funi appropriated exclusively to their benefit seems to be founded in justice. lu an iu terview I have had with the Commissioner the view of tho Columbia Lodges is full; sustained. For reasons entirely satisfac tory, which will bo explained to you by th Commissioners, tho donation was made t the Grand Lodge, to dispense according t its discretion ; but the misfortunes of th Columbia Lodges unquestionably furnish ed the consideration for the bounty, and respectfully recommend that tho whol sum be appropriated for their benefit. 1 I regret to say to you that the Gran Lecturer of this State, Brother Mackey lias communicated to me his purpose i resigning tkat position, on account of hi inability, from oflicial encasements in th city, to visit thc country Lodges in the prc sedition of his valuable and much value labors. His contributions to the Lodges i oral instruction, to the literature of Mason ry-in expounding the rites, ceremonies ordinances, usages and traditions-in th numerous volumes ho has published places the fraternity under the deepec obligations to him, who has for more tba a quarter of a oentury labored to dissemi nato and elevate the science of Fre Masonry. In retiring from a position which he ha signally adorned for so many years, he wi carry with him the grateful acknowledg ments of his brethren, for whoso in: provement he has labored so assiduously a reward second only in value to tho sel; conscionsuess of having performed well hi great task. To secure unity and consistency in th workings of tho subordinate Lodges, it i very desirable that this vacancy should I; filled by some worthy, well informo brother. The office was created by rest lution, which also designated him as th person to till it, and his resignation wi not only vacate, but terminate the ofiici If you concur with me in tho propriety ( continuing t lie office, it will be necessar for you to take action to that end an provide a salary for him. As each new presiding officer of tl: Grand Lodge assumes his position, he : subjected to much embarrassment i deciding the almost innumerable que: lions submitted to him, from the omisaic of his predecessors to make any record i the decisions made during their term In a few years, if those decisions were pr served, a large mass of Masonic jurispri dence would bo accunilated, new office would have precedents for the que tions to be decided, and unity, uniformit. and consistency bo secured in tho goner administration of Masonic law, not wit! standing thu change of ollicials. I therefore suggest that hereafter tl Grand Master prepare a brief abstract every queatiou submitted to bim for of cial decision, and of the judgment he pr nounces. with permission to assign tl reasons for such judgment, and that I forward the sumo to the Grand Secretar quarterly, who shall record tho decision and at each Annual Communication r port the same to the Lodge. The Grai Lodgo will thus bo informed, and if erro should bo committed, tho con9titutio may be amended so as to guard again their subsequent recurrence. The Grand Secretary, in his report,Jw give you full information as to the foreii correspondence with sister Grand Lodges, and you will have tho gratification of learn? ing that our relations with all Grand Sis? ter Lodges arc of thc most satisfactory and fraternal character. By resolution of the Grand Lodge, pass? ed 22d November, 5SG0, the Grand Secre? tary was authorized to re-publish the Ala? man Rezon, w'th thc necessary alterations required by tho adoption of the revised Constitution. Tho publication has just been made, and from the cursory examina? tion 1 have been able to make, the task has been performed with accuracy and fidelity. Tho officers of tho various Lodges may procure copies by application' to him. BRETHREN : Tho institution was never in a moro nourishing condition in South Car? olina than at tho present time. Harmony and good feeling reigns supreme in most of tho subordinate Lodges within the juris? diction-thc officers and members are ear? nest and zealous in their work, and exem? plary in their conduct and deportment - tho Lodges aro growing more circumspect in scrutinizing all applications for Masonic honors, and they are applying thc pruning knife with a firm and just hand to unwor? thy members. I invoke the blessing of (?od upon your deliberations, and pray that justice, wis? dom and brotherly love may ne indelibly stamped upon all your proceedings. $500 REWARD. ARREST THE MURDERER!

FEVERS, CHILLS, AGUE, ?S;C_ Tho cause of fever is tho contamination of the blood by some morbitic agent. Tho nerves connected with nutrition and or? ganic contractility suffer alteration in their composition. Tho muscles, deprived of nervous influence, begin to wasto, and this waste produces heat. Tho heart ia in? creased in its action, and tho blood is ren? dered still more impure by receiving the wasted tissues by the continued action of the morbid agent, as well as by the func? tions of thc lungs, liver and spleen being impeded. Purify, therefore, the springs of life, tho blood. Uso tho "Queen's Delight " tho great blood remedy, and all morbid agents will bv? removed. The Queen's De? light has cured many cases of contamina? tion of tho blood, chill and fever, typhoid fever; eruptise fever will bo prevented by the free use of tho Queen's Delight.

Tiny think pestilence is on the wing for America. Suppose this to be true, what, is the best defence against it? Redoubled nervous vigor. This is tiu; only protection against panie, as well aa against the principle of infection. Why do not those who predict the epidemic propose an adequate preventive? There is one-a tonic, nervine and alterative, competent to shield the system against tho snbtlo ele? ments of disease, whether they float hither on tho winds from distant lands, or riao like vapor from our own soil, or aro incor? porated with tho universal fluid. This on? pr?ventive, of which there is no duplicate among the compounds, either of tho Old World or the New, is HQSTETTER'S STO? MACH BITTERS. Remember that it is a specific for all the complaints which lay the system open to visitations of deadly epidemics. If you aro dyspeptic, it renews the vigor of your di? gestive powers, gives you appetite and re? stores your cheerfulness. If you are nervous, it invigorates every fibre of your nervous system, from the base of the brain, where it begins, to the extremities, where it terminates. If you are bilious, it disci? plines your unruly liver and brings the action rf that organ into harmony with thc laws of health. It is, in short, an in vigorant and alterative so powerful that nature, with Hostetter's Bitters for her ally, may bid defiance alike to native mala? ria and foreign infection. If this enemy we hear of-this disease which is desolating Europe-is really bound hitherward, it be? hooves the prudent to put on their armor, to clotho themselves with invulnerability as far as human moans will permit, by pre? paring tho system for resistance with this l>ure vegetable antidote.
