EDGEFIELD C. H. WEDNESDAY. OCT. 25. 1348. Approach of Irlintcr.-On Saturday mrnin^ last, winter gave strong indications of Iis aip ptnach. A short time after sun rise, the ther inometor stood at '3 degrees. We promised to give a full report of the speech recently delivered at thin place, by Sci ator BCrLEa. We could not do so on account tf the great press upon ont columns. The sptecli has been reported for the Charleston Mrcury. and pretty generally copied into the pa f the State. It is scarcely necessary n.w. fur us to report it more fully than has been done. The following genlemen were elected on the 9th and 10th inst.. Comn,issioners of the Poor for this District. Gen. James Jones, John Cooburn, Sr.. Robt. Jenaings, Avery Bland and Jacob Pou, Esqrs. Nomination of Col. F. I'. Pickes for Goc ernor.-It will he seen by an atticle copied from the Chalteston Mercuy into our paper, that Col. PICKENS has been nomninated.for Governor of South Carolina. With our cotemporaries itn this District, we cordially raspond to the noni nation. Certain, we are that no candidate whose name has been offered. presents higher claims than out former faithful Representative to Congress. Itn our community, it is needless to speak of the qualifications of Culonel P. for the office of Governor. Here he is well appreciated, and we hope that he will be our next Chief Magistrate. An Editor Elected Lcgislator.=We observe among the Delegates elected from Charleston District to the Legislature, the name of Jous E. CAREW, lIditor of the .lercry. Apart from the satisfaction we derive from seeing a Cass man elected in a strong Taylor community to the Legislature, we feel a greater pleasure in seeing a poor Printer or Editor elected to the honorable post of Legislator. We are almost disposed to forgive the people of Charleston, for their great sin in preferring Taylor to Cass, inasmich as they have elected an Editor to re present them. In this they have shown wisdom. Who so fit to make laws as lie? Who under stands the science of government better; who so well read in political economy, and all sorts - of ecocomy. The editor by a breath, makes great inn and great statesmen, that is,-he gives .hem all their ame ant nn their names sbou!d not he beamong great men; and be a great man himself? verily he should, and when the people make Legislators, Generals, Gover nors and Presiderits of printers, they do tici mnore than wvhat is .proper. These men will serve them well, certainly 'as wvell, as any other class-or profession. Beyond all doubt, these men of the quill, will give them in their.news.. papers a better account of their doings, than otber classes, for we take it for granted, that printers or editors can scrite pretty well, which is more than can be said of all Legislators. - For fear of growing slanderous, we will stop. Sugar Candy.-Not long since a Lady sent us a few pieces of delicious sugar catndy. Better we never tasted; we can say of it, that it was only less sweeter, than the giver. - Election Returns. The following gettleman have beeni returned from the respective Districts fur the Congress of the United States: .District I. Gen. D. WVallace. "2, Col. J. L. Orr. "3, Joseph A. Woodward. "4, GSen.

With the increasing intelligence and growing importance of our Stato, it is gratifying to observe the awakened interest manifested by the people in the election of their ChiefAMagistrate. In many parts of. the State the names of individuals have been mentioned for this ufliee woithy nf the high character of the Stare and the distinguished office it self. But, sir, among the array of high names thus brought forward. I have not seen that of the man who is, I think, most prefsrred in this region of the State, and if the writer be not deceived, one who will be our next Governor. I mean the lion. Francis W. Pickens, of Edgfield. No man in tbis State is better qualified by his genius, public services, populerity, and entire fitness for the oflice, to fill it with honor to himself and dignity and profit to the State. In addition to all of these high recom mendations, Col. Pi-kens has the merit of being no office seeker. lie has served in the Legislature and the Congress of the United States, because he was placed there by the solicitations of his friends. Following as the successor of Governor MeDuffie in Congress. lie fully sustained the ancient reputation of his distriet. and, after years ofservice, voluntarily retired. Very soon after the inauguration of President Polk, he was offered the mission to England. but refused it distinctly on the ground that he would not accept office from the Administration until, by its acts, it had redeemed all its pledges of justice to his own State, and the South gene rally. Such high patriotistm, such sacri fiae of self, and the refusal of the m distinguished and most c the gift of the President, a of'hi3 own State should boner. Let us make Col. ernor, and show him and they who forego Federal riahts and honor of their o not only receive the admi grateful reward, of a -peopa insptrtng so much and such utn tion to their interests. - Col. Picketns is thoroughly orth~o'oitin all matters of State policy, and especially so in regard to the Banking itisitu tions of the State. lie is, with a large ma.jority of the State, understood to be opposed to that vast machine of corrtupuion, fraud and fnvoritism-our State Bank ;and if elected he will, doubtless, make such suggestions. and co-operate in such measures as may be best calculated to wind up ati ir.stitu tion, which by the public voice, is "drag ging its slowv length alotig" to final ex ttnetton. Fitnally, Col. Pickens is pectnliarly suit. edi to the event ful c'risis, created by thte evil miachtinations of Northern fanatics and anscrtupulous politicianQ. Events have succeeded events, andi aggression on Sou thern rights followed aggression, with such "indecent haste," that the tmost solid of the "W ~ait and Watch" party have become alive to the necessity of unied and vigo rons actiotn by the Srouthertn people. And, in the ovent of such actioti, wtho, amotig those mentioned iti connection with the office of Governor, ismnore wvorthy to he placed at the- helmt of State than Col. 'ickens ? 1 his high spirit, his revoLlion arq blood, thorough knowledige of our laws and instituttiotns. with his getneral and fajvorable acquaintance wiith the leading politici.ans of 'he South especially fit him for the Chief Magistracy of the State. wh'eh n ill act no suibordiuate part in the mnutmentous struggle. BACK COUNTRY. From thc Ila.aburg .Tournal. IlON. F. W. PICKENS, We copy a cotmmutnication from the Charleston Mlercury, tnomi natitng this geni ilean for Governer. it is the second we have seen int than paper within a neek or two. This adds one more to the long list of catnudidates fur that office, among whom wre have seen named. .Judge Richardson, Seabrook, Albnon. Gen. Means, Eaves and Manning. We are not stnre that Jndge Richardson has any desire for theo tlice, or that heo would accept it, if it w cre oll'ered himt. It wrotld he for hitm a dignified anc'graceful leave- takingof ptublic atinirs, atnd make room for a yountger and more energetic member of the Bench. - WVe are of the opinion, that the appoint ment should be conferred upon a man, as a reward for torig and valuable services. It is an oflice of honor and dignity, rather than of active service to the State, or as a stepping stonte to political preferment. Fewv of our tGovernors became anythitng else, and of thtse who did, we retmeniber none who extended his reputation. They have becen all thrown by. as having run their career, and rendered all the piolitical service of which they were capable, or which the peopile desired of them. It is, therefore, a disastrouts office for a y outng anid ambitious mart; yet if Col. Pickenis aspitres to it, we know none of those who have been named, who can flli it with"mofecredit'lo hiies usefuI ness to the Stati'and- altou e- differ, somewhat, with him on Fedet Poliiics, yet as he is very decidedly' ue against the Bank of the Stae; his;reason, prominent amnpng others rCdally wish.him success, and ai to aid him as far as we-ca. We take pleasurein trans to our Columns tho annexed -art c am the Charleston Mercury.

F. W. Pickens. And we havev-ason to belieye that not only 'the int'erest and honor of our State would bepintlbted by his elevation to the office of chi''Magis irate, but that the wishes and feelings of a large majority of the people;"' tld be consulted thereby.-Hamburg'Republican, From the Charleston Mereury, M"inst.

The people are ur-ged to take Gen. Taylor fur their Presidetnt, n,ithout, know ing his opinions upon public mneasgres, on the ground that his honesty is proo.-thai all the intrigues or the WVhig politicians who have him in charge, have not been uble to anake him swerve from the positioni which he has assumed before the people. On this ground, more than any other, big supporters have challenged for him a com-~ parison wviih Washingitn! In relation to this matter, a few questions occur to us which we should be glad to see an,vcred. 1st. Did General Taylor say, after his name was presented for the Presidency, thnt ho would give no piledges as to his political course and opiniouns il elected President. 2d. lies he since pledged himself not to veto bills passed by Congress on a variety of subjects ? 3d. Did he ever- say that he would never he considered the rep: osentative of principles and opinions of any pairty ? 4th lias he sinice permitted himself to be held up by Whigs all over the country as tho representatie of their party princi ples and opinionisi 5th. Ditd he ever say that he would run as an lindependlent candidate, whoever might be the nominee of the Philadelphia Convention; anid did he cordially assenlt to and approve of several political organi zations to run him on that ground ? 6th. Did he thien. authorize lisi friends to go into the Philadelphia Convention, ton the express condition that, if not.nomi nated by that body as the candidate of the Whig party there assembl'ed, he would not run at all 1 7th. 1sid he, in his letter to Gei.Gaines, declare that, in his judgment, it was our best policy to-take and bold by military force six or seven of the Mlexican provi ces? 8th. Did he then say, in his first Allison letter, that he was opposed to the acquisi tion of any territory by'conquest? ? 9th. Did he any in ai whole series of letters that he was, a Whig, but not an udtra WhIdg? 10th. Did be then tell Col.- Haskell, of Tennessee, that he was a Whig-and a quarter over ? 11th. Did be authorize Col. Winthrop, in Louisiana. to disavow as unauthorized what Jutdge Saunders had said ini his be half to procuho fur him the- Philadelphia nominattionl. 12th. Did lie then bef'ore, Winthrop's statement could be published in the Delta, have it withdrawn, and publish'"in place of it Balie Payton's card, avowing and confirming as fully authorized Judge Saunders's declaration ? 18th. Did he in writing to two gentle men flatly conrtradict himself on a most material point ? as follows: "It is a right in- "I have laid it herent to every free,. down as a priociplo man to possess him- cot to give my opin self of the political ions upon, or pre principles and opin-. judge in any way ions of thoseiuwhose the variouq qites hands the adminis- tions of policy now tration of the gov- at issue between the eminent may be political parties of placed."-Gen.

Do Truman Smith and Thomas Corwin declare that they seen authentic and reliable declarations that Gen. Taylor rns said he would not veto the Wilmot Proviso ? 16th. Do Gen. Taylor's Southern Wlhig riends. acting under his own eye, and ithout contradiction from him, support him especially upon the around that, as a Southern man. he cnn be fully relied upon to vet" that measure? And 17th, and to conclude-if the true answer to these questions be in the afir motive, has General Taylor suffered his friends to place him in a position incom patible with all pretence to political integ rity and honesty ? We shouhl be glad to hear an answer to some or all of these questions from some of those "conscience" Whig journals-the New York Tribune, for- instance, which hold with Mr. Webster, that Gen. 'Tay lor's nomination "was a nomination not fit to be made." and are yet giving him a sort of lardy and grudging support. on the ground that, though appearances be against him, ie may yet be trusted of his consis tency !-Union. .. o travelling into sur.gnz coutitries and norihrn cities in qnest of notions as well as substan:tials to please and comfort those who nmake this thteir place of irade. We doubt it Hamburg tand Augusta have ever pre-. sented so many advantages to the cotnn try people in the way of trad e, and business gene-rally, as at the presett time. Stock of Merchandise are un usually large and well assorted and at price really surprisingly low. In heavy good and groceries we fell conflience in saying that few otlier places itn the two State can begin to compete with Hlam burg and Augusta, arid for the sim:ple~ reason thatt our facilities are une-quadl ed for the transp.lrtation of mierchaniz? and piroduce. Hence the reason that atir Meachants can always pay a frac tin higher for produces, and furnish all heavy goods at lower tate thtan other intetior towns. We belheve this pnint will scarcrlyv be nmouted by those ac anainted wvitht the facts, anid to those who ore ttot wo can ouly say that if they were at the door of our ofice at thisu. mnometnt to witness the dit:phay of Boats at our wharves, discharging car goes of merchandize, and taking on, Ctton and other prodnce at a tate of freights (that Railroatds cannot be-gin to talk about) they wiould scarcely talk any longer about "Columbia possessing all the commercal advantages of HIam, butg and Augusta." The fiact is the thing is p)ropostetous and i ill not bear investigation, and we knowv that the far mers end consumers of the upper~ Dis tricts hove only to compare the prices of produce antd groceries and oilier wares, after which it will required rather more tihan the "stretching foith of the hand" of the C.;umbia Merchants to keep them in that market. We ate satisfied that those visiting or Town will find such an impr ioventent in Stores, Stocks. Hotelhs &c., as will both please atid surprise. But should it so happen dint any article is wamnted not found satisf'actory here, it will only: require a few steps to Augusta, wvhere stocks will compare favorably in every point with any city of the South. -,. Scientific Stealinig.--The slaves in the WVest Indies hook rum in at very seinentific manner. They first fill a bottle wvith water and invert the nozzle into the bong of a barrel full of rum. Water being the. heaviest sinaks down and the spitrit rises in its place, and Coffee thus makes a swap on scientific pritnciples. Be slow in choosing a friend, but slower in changing him.
