OUR PAPER.

After lapse of over four years the En-
oURER appears before its readers this week
as full size sheet. This is in order to lay
before our patrons as much as possible Of
the news of the day. In the dearth Of news
papers, owing to the absence ofmail facili-
ties, the majority of the reading public have
fallen in the rear, but it is our province to
post up those in our immediate sphere,
which we will do so far as we can. In increas-
ing our size we of course increase our expen-
ses, but We have "cast our bread on the wa
ters' and look confidently for return in
due season.
We have no promises to make at present,
but are determined to let "our works praise
u.s." The paper is put down to as Iowa
price as we can now afford, while no pains
will be spared in its mechanical department.
We have tried and been familiar with
the credit system in connection with news
papers for more than twenty years, and as a
rule, for the future, will require cash in ad-
vance for subscriptions, advertising and jsb
work. The credit system has been bene-
tcial to others, but not to US, as our books
will testify.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

THE STATE EyCONVENTlON.
up to the hour Of going to press, we have
received but little news from the Conven.
tion-neitber letter or paper having reach.
ed us from Columbia since its sessions COM
menced, on Wednesday of last week.
1t isrumored that Chancellor WARDLAw,
of Abbeyille, has been elected President,
and that the sessions of the Convention are
being held in the Baptist Church.
A dispatch to President johnson, dated
at Columbia, on the day the Convention as
sembled,. and:whioh we find in the Balti-
more american Of Saturday last, gives us
alt the information We have as to the doings
of that body; The following is the SUBJ
stance of the dispatch.
"The State. Convention has assembled
with one hundred members present. 1t is
regarded as the ablest body ever convened
in the State. Resolutions. of discomfort
were offered and received only FIVE votes,
and they were laid on the table, after re-
fusal to print them. The Governors mes
sage strongly sustains the Presidents recon.
struction policy"

BUSINESS MATTERS.


The Fall has just set in on US, and our
town begins to assume its old business ap-
pearance. Several new establishments have
been opened, and our old merchants are
preparing to reopen with large and season.
able stocks. The amount of goods now in
market, is very large, and with the steady
increase, We have only to hope that busi-
ness will warrant the enterprise. There is
no branch of business but what is now in
full operation /; so we can invite our country
friends to come to Yorkville, when they
would spend their time and money agreea-
bly,. Goods are generally higher than they
were before the war, but this was to be ex.
pected, from the difficulty of transportation
and the still unsettled state of the "cur.
renoy" Our people do not readily take
to the 'sgreenbacks," but We think they
will in time, especially when heavy taxation
begins to bear on us, and for which they
will prove ready panaoea. We have lots
of goods, we say, but business is not as
brisk as it might be-we expect in short
time to chronicle great srevival," and in
the mean time refer our readers for further

MAIL SERVICE.

We are pleased to learn from an exchange
that the Post Master General has ordered
mail service on the following rail roads in
South Carolina: From Kingsville, South
Carolina to Wilmington, North Carolina !;
from Kingsville to Augusta, Georgia; from
Florence to Cheraw; from Charleston to
Florence; from Columbia to Charlotte !;
from Chester to Yorkville; from Alston to
spartanburg; from Newberry to Laurens
and from Charleston to Savannah.
Proposals for carrying the mails in this
State and North Carolina from the first of
January next, have been printed in pam
phlet form and large numbers were sent to
the Governors on the 9Th instant from
Washington, for general distribution.

will be made to introduce new canon,
intended to allow the Clergy of the Church
more liberal relations with those of other
denominations. The movement will meet
with vigorous resistance as well as hearty
support. The clergymen identified with it
are we'll known for their perseverance and
independence, as well as for tendency to
controversial discussion, while the course
the Bishop adopted will be supported, it is
said, by the vast body Of the clergy. The
return of delegates from the Southern do
cess will be another and still more import
ant feature of the convention, and there
are questions to be considered which aid to
make the occasion one of special interest. z

Many rdmors have been in circulation,
that the oaths administered in this District
were declared illegal by military authority,
which had no foundation in fact: all Mag
istrates, Notary Publics, &C., having first
taken the Amnesty Oath, are duly author
lied to administer it, and, as there are a
number of them throughout the District,
we suggest they proceed at once to qualify
for the purpose. No business whatever
can be lawfully transacted by parties who
have not taken the Oath, and whether the
citizen may desire to, vote, or not, he should
place himself rectus in curia. We repeat
our warning, and trust to the common sense
of the people to act advisedly.

MIss1ssIpPI AND ALABAMA.

MIssIssIPPI.-The readers of the En-
ouIRER will remember that a paragraph
published last week adverted to conflict of
authority between the civil and military au-
thorities in Mississippi. 1t appears that
Governor SHARKEy ordered the reorgani.
zation of the militia for the purpose of sup
pressing organized bands of robbers in the
State. The Governors orders were coun-
termanded by Gen. SLQcUMB, the FEEDER
al officer commanding in the State, with the
approval Of the Secretary Of War. Upon
this, Governor sHARkEY appealed to Presi-
dent JOHNSON, who sustained him and en-
Joined upon General SLocUMB not to inter.
fere with the organization of the State mill.
tia. President JOHNSON in letter to
Governor SHARKEY on the subject says !:
"The people mustbe trusted with their Gov
ernment, and iftrusted, my opinion is, that
they will act in good faith, and restore their
former Constitutional relations with all the
States composing the Union" The latest
adyices are that troops were arriving at
jackson, preparatory to the evacuation of
the State. - .5. ~

in steamboating and general commerce that
now exists there. The busy times before
the war are now revived on the great river.

fast, and somewhat less explosive. They
not only abound on the Mississippi, bnt pen.

FROM WAsHINaroN.

We learn from the New York Herald of
the 18th instant, that large delegation Of
gentlemen from the various Southern States,
who were in Washington, on business con.
uected with the re.establish of civil
government in their respective States, called
on President johnson on Tuesday of last
week, in body; for the purpose of paying
their respects. . :
"The President received them most cor
daily, and addressed them at some length.
He alluded to the opposite course which he
end they had taken at the commencement
of the rebellion, but Mas glad to see that
the Southern people, after having submit:
ted their contest with the governmental to the
arbitrament of the sword and lost, now
frankly admitted their defeat, and were
manifesting disposition to- again become
good citizens of the United States. He
assured them that every possible facility
which he and the other governmental Off
GERS could give in the work of restoring to
them civil government, would be promptly
and cheerfully rendered, and he hoped to
see them soon again fully enjoying their old
position in the. United States. He said
there was no disposition on the part Of the
government to deal harshly with the South,
and that. although he dreaded disintegra.
tion, he was strongly opposed to consolida.
tion of power in Washington" -
The .same evening, Secretary Seward
had reception, when, in addition to the
other numerous visitors, the principal por.
ton OF the Southern delegation which called
upon the President during the day was
present. They were received by Mr.. Sew.
ard and other members Of the Cabinet in q
manner equally as afable and frank as that
with which they we're greeted at the Exec
utive mansion. The tone Of. the remarks
of the Secretary Of State was similar to that
Of those made By the President, and, while
stating that the governments policy was
to restore and improve the South, not to
injure it, be remarked, that at the same
time, sure work must be made Of preserv.
ing the peace Of the nation. -

done, but onr managers, who went to the
usual rendezvous where all the boxesshould
have been, found no one there, and, 4conse-
quently, had every thing their own way. .
st. Helena Parish has but two precincts
one at Beaufort and one at st, Helena
Island. In Beaufort thirty eight votes we're
polled-tbirty three Of which we're for Mr..
James q. Thompson, and fyefor Mr.. b. j.
Judd. On St. Helena six votes only were
polled, all for Mr.. Judd. Bnt as neither
the. managers or the voters had takenlthe
Amnesty Oath, the other judges decided
that the election at st. Helena was invalid.
Mr.. Thompson is therefore elected from st,
Helena Parish by large majority. !,
Itis proper to state here that Mr.. Judd
and Mr.. Thompson we're the only eligible
candidates in the parish. Every condition

THE AMNESTY OATH,

Judging from the number of votes polled
in this District, at the late election for mem.
bers of the State Convention, very large
portion of our citizens had not, so far, taken
advantage of the Amnesty Oath. We have
endeavored to impress upon our people the
necessity of taking the bath, at once, and
we again urge it on them, for they may put
it off until it is too late. President JOHN.
SON is Southern man by birth, and has
shown himself so in feeling. His course
toward the South has been characterized by
moderation, and, in fact, he has done more
to ameliorate our condition than We have
had any reason to expect. Now, We would
suggest the probability of his death, who
would succeed him, and what would be our
situation? LAWRENCE S. FOSTER, of Con.
necticut, most bitter Republican would
become the ruling spirit of the hour, and
that he would improve it, there is no man.
ner of doubt 1t would be too late, then,
to claim the Amnesty of President JOHN
SON, when the THADDEUs STEVENS parties
are crying out for "confscation," and that
the property Of the entire South be sold
under the hammer to pay the public debt !!
Why men of sense will delay taking the
proposed oath, is a.mystery a to us; they
certainly do not continue to believe that
slavery remains in tact? If 80, We can
only pity the obtuseneSs of their vision, and
