AN UNFORTUNATE 0coURRENcE.- We
learn from gentleman just from NeWber,
trY. that NEST unfortunate shooting affair
took place near that place on Saturday last.
It seems thataa watermelon patch of Mr..
Hare was depredated upon by,,some persons
unknown, and that Mr.. Hare employed q
gentleman by the name Of Reynolds, "a
Confederate aaldier,l to stand guard aud
see,that no one intruded contemporaries,
and while Mr.. Reynolds ~asfulflling his
contract, two soldiers of the Seth N. York
regiment, on provost duty at Newberry,
enteredrthe place and commenced plugging
melons for the purpose of getting ripe ones,
when they were fired upon by Mr.. Reynolds
and one Of them mortally wounded. The
other surrendered himself~up, and was ta.
ken to headquarters. Our informant states
that both Mr.. Hare and Mr.. Reynolds were
arrested and lodged jail. ~ - -
Mr.. Harc's dwelling house, at his plan:
tation near Newberry, was subsequently,
burnt down by some ofthe comrades of the
wounded man, in retaliation, as was told
us, for the shooting Of ffthesoldisr.

FEDERAL FORCES IN MEXICO.

federal FORCES IN MEXICO.
According to our information, General
Sheridan has under his command an army
Of seventy or eighty thousand men in Tex.
as, and it is understood that their station
is to be on or very near the Mexican bor-
der. This army is called an "army Of OBJ
servation," but the presence Of such force
in such locality at such time seems to
have good deal of important significance.
Surely force Of nearlya hundred thous.
and cannot be supposed to be needed for
the purposes Of observation. Not one in
q thousand of them will do anything in
the waye6f observing.
We guess that Louis Napoleon will not
hesitate IN bis construction of this great
movement. He will understand it as hav.
ing reference to himself and to the Impe-
rial power IN Mexico. He will regard it as
a gage of battle thrown defantly at his
feet. OF course We don't know whether
he will return The defiance and take up the
gage, but We don't think he will. He will
probably deem, it the wiser and more pru-
dent, course to get up quarrel with Maxi
milian, Withdraw the French troops from,
Mexico, and leave Max. TO his fate. God
knows that our people want no war 90 soon
after the close Of the most terrible one re-,

1t will be seen by the advertisement
in another column, that ourpublic spir-
tied fellow-citizen, W. E. Rose, has
started coach line between this place
and Rock Hill, on the Charlotte Rail
Road, which will enable our people once
more to see and be seen by the outer
world. In the absence of rail road
communication. this enterprise should
be rewarded, and we trust it will be,
that the proprietor may be induced to
keep it up, as his fare, is really far
enough. i

We: have before us the Charleston
Courier, of recent dates, in which a
concise review is made of the several
Acts of Congress passed during the
four years of the war, which, while
giving clear insight into the workings
Of, bearings of the several acts them
selves, must show how necessary it is
for every citizen to take the oath at
once, to meet the emergencies soplainly
set before them. We shall publish the
articles in full in our next issue, as we

THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST II, 1865
OURSELVES.

We resume the publication of the
ENoUIRER this morning, with the ex-
spectation of sissuing it regularly here
after on every Thursday, shouldswe re-
ceiye sufficient Substantial encourage
ment to warrant it.
The terms are -Four Dollars per an
mum; One Dollar for three months, or
tencents for q single copy, when paid in
s:.greenbacks.' When payment ismade
in specie, we will make the proper dis
count and receive it atits market value
Country produce of every description
will be received at market prices, for
subscriptions or advertising.
Our terms are higher than before the
war. This is rendered necessary from
thesfact that every article used in con-
neetion with the publication of a news
paper has advanced in price. When
ever circumstances justify it, we shall
reduce our prices to the old standard.
Subscribers who have already paid
for the paper, will be supplied with it
for the period which, they have paid
Those on our subscription list who have
not paid, will be furnished with the
present number, when it will be discon-
tinued, until we receive "indemnity for
the past and security for the'future.' .
!. The paper will not be furnished here
after to any person on indefinite credit.
It is our purpose after the mails are
re-established throughout the country,
II teenlarge the papersto double its pres
u ent size: From what we can learn, We
think we shall-be enabled to do this in
about six weeks or two months.
resuning the publication Of the
: ENQUIRER, we have considered more
the wants of our former patrons, prob
ably, than our individual interest. How
ever We propose to continue the paper,
for the purpose of laying before the
apnblic the many State,papers ahoat,
which would otherwise not reach large
part Of the community. We will have
=. little room for comment on matters of

We shall continue to urge upon the peo-.
pie a. laying aside of former differences,
and "a generous emulation as towhe can.
best serve the country, in this her hour
of trial. We are commencing the poit-
ical world anew, and great changes are,
upon us-we must set to work to meet
the emergency in a proper spirit--to
accept the terms of reconstruction,
however humliating they may appear,
and make the best use we may. of our
present opportunities, The institution.
Of slavery is gone forever; and it is
useless, 1t is folly, It is criminal to dis
tract the country with partyisms at this
time. But one thing is leftus-totake1

IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS AND

MEXICO.
The Washington Chronicle publishes q
long letter from Texas, in which the follow
ing paragraph appears '
i am now lying at the mouth of the Rio
Grande, opposite to Bagdad. The Mexi.
cans under Maximillian guard the opposite
side and our troops this. The respective
pickets are not forty yards apart, and there
is great deal of unfriendly feeling between
the two armies, 30 that they cannot long re-
frain from blows. On the 4th of July our
officers went over and many rows occurred.

the commander at Brownsville, yesterday

The Galveston correspondent of the
Houston Ners writes under date of July
/, as follows: -! 3, SIN: .zs, (
Orders have been issued to The officials Of
Matamoras, to prepare accoutrements fol
thirty. FIVE thousand troops of the empire,
the troops to consist of French, Austrians
and Belgians. g: 81.
The reason given for this collection Of
troops is because the United States has a
similar number atBrownsville and adjacent
points.
French officers assert that there is no
reason why the United States should send
anarmy of eighty or q hundred thousand men
to Texas, unless it waa@ designed ito make
aggressive movements upon Mexico.
The spirit Of the two armies is described
as being exceedingly hostile, and there is
no aliliatioH between our; officers and those
of the Empire.

THE CROPS.

InouSh tne Wheat crop mas proven
almost failure throughout our District,
the season has been most propitious for
the corn, which promises to be the larg-
est yield We have had for many years.
Vegetation, generally, is fourishing,
while the fruit trees are breaking down
under their unusual burthen, though
the fruit is by no means good, having
been affected by the wet weather. But
little cotton has been planted, while
seed issscarce; yet from the abundance
Of grain promised the farmer, he looks
forward to next, year for his return, as
far as possible, to the oldsysteml of cul-
tivation. 1t is. a mistake to suppose
that there is any large quantity of cot
ton in the District, and it is also a mis-
take to suppose that holders vii! be
compelled to sell at the lowprices offer
ed; though it sdesirable that market
may be made, that our people mayh have
some sort of currency to operate with.
