EDWIN 3. SCOTT, ESQ.. .
MB.TBDITOB* It ia most gratifying to our
eommunity, to whom the above named
gentleman has boen so long and ao "favor
ably known, to* learn that, at the pressing
solicitation of numerous friends, he has al?
lowed himself to be put in nomination for
a seat ir. the House of Representatives
from Richland District.
Peace has its triumphs "Sud it? worthies
as well as waj". ,
Mr. Scott served sixteen yjsars in the
offices of Tai Collector and Clerk of the
Court, in Lexington District; and was,-dur?
ing that time, chosen as a Delegate to the
Rta te Convention of 1832, otherwise kr n
as thc Nullifying Convention.
For thc last twenty-eight years, as Teller
and Cashier of the Commercial Bank of
this city, he commanded the rorp.eot and
admiration of all who had business with
that institution, for his integrity, his finan?
cial abilities, his obliging disposition. "*
He is a reading and a thinking niau, and
will dare to do what ho. believes to bc right.
Upon il'o grave and difficult questions
omi. before our next Legislature-ques
ns of ?State finance and taxation-of
e status of . thc Freedmen, his rights
and Iiis duties-of tho relation between
debtors and creditors-he is as competent
ic decide as any man in the State.
The District will honor itself by honoring
him, and consulting its own interests by
availing, itself of his-patriotism, ripe jud;. -
ment, and independence of thought and
action. , * * *
CAN COTTON BE PRODUCED BY WHITE
LABOE ONLY?-Tho Bichmond corres?
pondent of- the New York World
taking the a?rmative of this ques?
tion, says:
There can be no doubt that, even
in the cotton growing States, it is a
great mistake to suppose that lands
cannot be "advantageously cultivated
except on the large plantation plan.
- Experience has already proved
what common sense always under?
stood-that far more could be pro?
duced by cutting up the lands into
small faun?, by which any industrious
white fanfily could easily get together
from three to six or seven bales a
year; leaving it to small combinations
to start and reap all the advantages of a
cotton-gin and press for the benefit
of each member. As to theinadapti
bility of the white labor to such a
ch?mate, that is-aheady au exploded
humbug.
A writer in a recent number of the
Richmond Whig* while discusssing
the question, makes the bold assertion
that nineteeh-twenthies of the cotton
not only can but has been produced
by white labor. If this much can be
said of the cotton States, what can the
Northern immigrant find in Virginia
at variance with all his past ex?
perience, unless it may be more f eirtile
lands,-and a far more genial and pro?
ductive climate.
Extensive fires are raging in the
r oods in Massachusetts. Near Attle
boro, the flames swept over a valuable
tract of woodland several miles in
extent, mostly covered with oak and
maple. Not lessihan one thousand
acres, hwve suffered more or less.
Bail has been refused by Mr. Jus?
tice Monk in the case of W. Wayne
blossom', one of the prisoners now in
custody at Montreal, charged with
the attempted abduction of George
N. Saunders. *
Lewis B. Smith, a Portland (Maine)
official, recently received one-fourth
of fifty thousand dollars-the inform?
er's share-in the matter of an invoice
of cigars condemned and sold as
smuggled.
OBITUARY.
Died, at Columbia, on Monday evening'
Sth inst., of brain fever, after only three
days illness, JULIA IDA, daughter of
* Caleb and Julia Botiknight, nearly ten years
pf age.
Thus was taken from the household tho
, first one of its jaembers, and one of tho
sweetest and dearest of its number.
Our hearts are bowed down in deep sor?
row, and wc mourn sadly for* one whom wo
loved so well; But wo have the comfort ing
assurance that our dear one has gone from
a world of pain und anguish, to a happy
home-freed from r ll the burning cares and
sufferings of this world-and that, indeed,
sho is an angel with her Saviour.
Although so young, ?ho had greatly en?
deared herself to man}'. Her teachers had
warm affection for her. her little friends
dearly loved her, and her obedience, sweet
temper, good mind and gentle nature made
her truly a much-loved one at home.
