THE FAIRFIED HERALD. IINNSBORO, S. C. Wednosday Morning, July 22, 1868. Desportes, Williams & Co., .Props Nominations by the National Domooratlo (onvention. For President. lION. IOATIO SYh11OUR, OF NEW YORK. For Vice-President, 110N. FRANK P. Bldlli, OF MISSOURI. Education Dependent on Immigration. I'ho Prussian system of education, the most perfoet in tho world, could not be practised, any more than the system of Now England, in a country so sparsely populated as Fairfield Dis trict. Our District must first acquire a population of one hundred and fifty or two hundred thousand people be. fore It will be as thickly scttlod as Now England or Prussia, so that to expect either system to prove success ful here at present is prepostcrous. For schools to be successful, the num ber of pupils should be sufficient to create onthusiasm, and to command the first talent in the country amongst the teachers. The school-house should be near the house of the pupil, and the labor of the pupil should not be required at home as an almost neces sary contribution to the support of the family. Let every farmer, then, that reads this, resolve, "I will do what I can to bring in immigrants. I wish a school for my childron nearer home, and a school taught by a superior tocher paid well for his services. I at) poor, it is true, broken by the war, and tormented by faithless laborers, but I will help others, nevertheloss. I will help the District, for soon the District will help me. if the immi gration Socioly will assist me, I will settle one family at least on my farm ; and with the profits, I will oduonte my boy handsomely, and sond my girl to school." But school eduontion, import.ant as it is, is not all. Wo need another kind of eduoation that Immigrants alone will give us-education in the idea of the dignity of honest work. There are many tiings quito nceossa ry to be done, and which own our pee ph (can easily do, but which they neglet, because it isn't customary. Aloney could be saved or made by do ing thenl, and that money invested ill books for' the inistrucition, imIprovemelnt and enteurtaimnent of the tamtily, or ill furniture or oither coinflorts that would relnne their tastos and elovato their unorle of life. immi nigrants will teach us to (1o all suchm little things, and to profit thereby. Again, ill our thinly sottled IDis triot, there is not sufiiint variety of work. Pecrhaps a f armner's son lias a taste or oven a genius for mllehanies. Thoire is no field for its display and oxerciso-nbo (em~pIliont for excpt a few mechanicsq andl those an inferior set, compllared with what our mnechan ics couldl heoetn. P'erhaps lie has a turn for medicine. Why the wvholo -District now can't supplort a half doz en D~octors, though a Doctor to every five hundred p~eople is alinost a neces sity in a highly civilizeil society. Perhaps lie would do well at Honking. There isn't a Bank in the Distriot. hut give us population, anud we will have emlploymnt for our sonls, and wvill not be pained at seeing so many of them flying to vice and dlissipation as a refuge from monotonous andl un congenial pursuits, especially when nodossitated to follow ithem side by, side with a negro. *Your. pretty little daughter, too, will you do nothing for 11cr 1 is she, too, to work by the Bide of the negro in tile fold, or on famIliar terms, in your' hmouo ? Perhaps she has a bril Ilant mtuid, and could teach a school. Where is theo school to teach 1 Per haps, like the wonmen of Paris, she has a managing turn, and could con duet a store and make a fortune. Is there any chance for the exercise of that talent ? Perhaps she could write and odiL a'paper, for the wife of the *oflitor of the b[omphis Avalazncho has th Is very spring edited his paper for him, while incarcerated, with unusual gpirit anal Aucess. Is there the dilgitost chnceo for sitch a thing noy t ~uta~ I groosed population would give etaployment for every talent of every child cf-every farmer in Fair' field biitrIet.

Three ords, political trickery, bribory and poils, form the alao t?,.the enit'o pr6 iranmme. Debtors are to'bo" dooeived mnd bribed, by an uncoi titutiowai homestead act, into acquieoconso,-if Got into positive supports . A !dwel ling house, forty acres and a'thousand! lollars is the bid and the bait. Rot ton stock of all sorts, now, worth ;bout; live couts on the dollar is to be guar. mtoed by the State, and the influ mnee of the Charleston Board of Trade, tho Grenville and Columbia Rail Road Company, the Blue Ridge Rail Road Company, and every stockjob bor of the State is to seourod. If possible, the Western section of the State, which feels able to manage the negro olemeti, is to be conciliated by separate schools for the blacks, and by judicious participation in office and plunder, to join in the conspiracy for placing the remainder of the State under the hool of the negro. The operations are to be largo, so that the oflices and spoils may be equally large and may support a strong and numor ous band of apparently public spirit od politicians, but in reality, of veri table thieves. We think it worth while to call the attention of tax-pay ers to what is going on. We counsel a District meeting simply to record our unwillingness that the present General Assembly, pro. ton., should pledge the credit of the State, so far as we, the tax-payers, are concern od, for any other purpose than simply to maintain law and order and pro vent riot and anarchy. Having done that, In view of Presidential canvass and other circumnstances, let them ad journ at once, costing the State the least possible amount of money. Even that amount will be unwillingly paid. Don't Exasperate Them. Some of our friends wished to lose one-half of the victory before going into the light, to alienate the soldiers' voto, and kill all enthusiasm in the canvass by nominating Chase, ex claiming "don't exasporate them," as if such tactics ever conqiered a despo. rate foe. Now that we have started, right here in Winnsboro, the ball in motion, which woll-rollod, will render utterly insiguifioant and contempti ble the wild legislation proposed by our General assonibly pro. tem.3 which will conpitely break its-power for evil, and make its momnbor~s look wild from the whites of their eyes even for their rations, we are told, "we agree with you. We undoubtedly will repudiate their dirty paper. We cer ta inly w ill, in four months, ,or at least in four years, have it in our pow.. er to do so. "lBut why exasporate thom 'i We reply, a little exasporal tion wvon't hurt law-makers drawing eleven dollars a day from the c~ero of nu impoverished Sta te. Besides a little agitation is necessary.- .For the President of the Blue Ridge Railroad and the Charleston Board of Ti-ade have rcquestcd the aid of the credit of the Negro General Assembly pro. tern., and the indignant voice of the State should be hoard, like the low muttering of the thickening storin wyhich hangs upon the horizon of thme future, So we kill these financial sehhnmes of plunder in- embryo, we can stand the "eXasperatIon" of their authors. The tar payers'havb but to speak out, and their bonrls. wilt not brinig live cents on the dollar. Cred it, says Governor Scott, who has spec ulAted largely in South Carolina State bonds, 'is the life of a State." 'If'so, there is notnmolh life in Qur present bayonetbborti ,N ogr9 .

As a politioian he was candid, out-spoken ly and consistent. As a gentleman, he was re high-toned, just and honorable.

SCOTT, son of Dr. Ira S. Scott,* he aged eleven years, five months and twenty seven days. ito It is at all times a mournful task to ehron >rt idle the death of those we love. When, )lo however, the old man, like a shook of corn fully ripe, is gathered to his rest, we roeog to nizo it as the consummation of the penalty lo; imposeil upon all flesh : "Dust thou art, and til unto dust thou shalt return." But when the grim messengor suddenly comes in the morning of life, before the preparation for its active duties has well begun, and there is a promise of a useful and honorable man hood, whilst bowing in submission, we are 12 constrained to exclaim, "H1ow unsearchable are thy judgments oh God, and thy ways past finding out." of Thus must we regard Willie's sad and un in- timely death. lio was a remarkably bright - and active boy; with a mind of more than , ordinary capacity, lie was warm-hearted, loving, devoted to his parents, eminently on truthful, and thoroughly unselfish in his r- disposition. This was manifested in a ro of markablo degree while suffering from the ud wound that caused his death. en Whilst out hunting with an older brother, by the acidental discharge of the gun in so his own hands, he received a mortal wound, nd -on being asked by his brother if he Was of hurt, he replied, "Yes, but, oh I .Ira, how Pa and Ma will grieve about this ; I am not ho afraid to die, and I regret this accident more on account of Pa and Ma, and my brothers and sisters than m self. Tell m- them to pray for me," he then knelt doen w- and prayed for himself and all his loved nt ones. Although from the terrible nature of . the wound, his sufferings must have bon in tense, yet with a manly fortitude, not often found at his age, ho suppressed alt com repanscsarce a groan escaping his lips, ma ot h grie( of his weeping parents should -be ineo'ease. Thus even in his extremity i.manifesting that thoughtful care of others and self-denying disposition which botokcens a warm and ginerous heart. hbe After twelve hours of suffering he was, ar- released from paln apd the bright spirit re. es re- turned to the God who-gave it, n. Is seldom that we thus find blended in oeperson hoome-nly traits of chqraoter ayand mental encdewments, which, fired, as* ,they were in this~ ihsance, by a lau4ble isambition to excel in all his undertak~ie adgive such abundant promise of future use safulness and honor. Whilst, however, we deplore the aceident that has thus sufddenly closed his earthly career, let. us rest in hope allt that those talents, now indeed "angel an- bright," are more aotiuoly omplod in a ,as higher and holier sphere.
