On the night of tko 161 li of August tho Ex? pr?s* safo of Ibo meaaougef on tile Laurons Railroad was taken out of tbe depot at Lau? rens ville and robbod of $1800. TEE OBUallfBK'S FIRST APPEARANCE. About five days' otter tbe robbery, tbo route agent of tbo Express Company oalled on Ofli oer B. J. Coates, of tbe Charleston detective force, gavo bim tho "points" and requested bim to "work up" tbe case. Officer Coates consented, and a day or two after tbe inter? view with tho agent, bo, under au assumed name, waa in Laurousviile, soliciting orders from tho m ore han ts for a Baltimore boute. He'threw himseltin tbe way of the express messenger, Poler H. Booti, and marie "himself very agreeable. But beforo proceeding to tell how Officer Coates gained tho confidence of ] hie friend, we will relato'of SCOTT'S MOVEMENTS. On Saturday, tho 14th of August, Scott re? ceived a package containing $289 68, which was to be delivered at Martin's Depot. In this package woro throe fifty dollar nolta. Ho did not delivor tho package, nor did hoentorit upon his book. On Monday ho went to Mr. Milos, a merchant, at Laurousviile, who was making preparations to visit New York, and asked him if ho desired nay largo money. Mr. Miles replied tiflt* was oxuetly what he wanted. Soot, thon wont off, remained away? about tbreo hours, and returned with'two fifty1 dullar uotos, ga.ro thom to Mr. Miles and re? ceived small notes in roturo. From there he wout to a barroom and took a drink. Is> pay inc for it, ho accidentally oxposod a fitly dol? lar noto. Monday aftoraoon, ? package containing $1800 was handed to bim to sand off. Ho de? posited it in bis safo; and placed tho safe in tho railroad depot, tho. dour of which was after? ward locked. That night, about niuo o'clock, a friond of his mot him going toward tho de? pot, and asked him whore bo was going. Boott replied that ho bad a pressing engagement, bur would return in a fow minutes, and asked tho friond to wait for him. The friend waited lor him until his patience was oxhaustod and then went home. THE BOODEUY. Early Tuesday morning, tho express safo was found abont ono hundred yards from the depot, open, and tho late contents gone. A thorough invcallgatiou of tho locks of tho safe and tho depot door showed that thoy had boon oponed with hoya, there hoing no mark whatever to create even a suspicion that tho locks had bcon picked or tho Holts forced back. CONFIDKNTIAL CONVERSATIONS. *Vi th all of tho above mentioned facts Officer Coates became acquainted a fow hours after his arrival. He thou proceeded to "drum" a littlo, and also to'improve bis acquaintance with Scott,. After many a look at otoh othor tLrouffii tho bottom of tumblers and bottles, and after several "little games," they became very confidential, and Officer Coates asked abont tho robbery aa any stranger would do. Scott said ho was aware that he was suspi? cioned, but bo could peeve his ionooenoe if he was over charged with tho robbery; ho know* | who committed the crime; it was a white man, but ho couldn't provo it except by -negro testi? mony, and ho "didn't Uko to have a white man cou vic ted by negro evidence. Ho asked Officer Coates what he would do nuder similar cir? cumstances, to which he replied that he thought a man was Justified In doing almost anything to freo himself from .unjust suspi? cion. After Officer Coates' opinion bad been, asked a o ve ral times, he-told Scott that he had taken snob, un interest tn h im" thai he would nogleot bia business and go with him. to tho Express agent at Columbia, wb'ero mattem could be oxplained and he be relieved from suspicion. ^ . THE AB REST. Scott arter some littlo demurring consented, aha soon after, they wera in Colombia. As soon as they arrived there, Officer Coates suggest? ed that lt would be better to see th? agent at Charleston first. Scott thought'that a,good I idea, and on Saturday night?>? d??ee'-ive zliaz drummer was at headquarters, and Scott, io bsd at tho Charleston Hotel. His movements were oloaoly observed, but he did not once m'^^^ii^l^ arrested* by Officer Levy (who marlo tai, ??-rfigt by request of Officer Coates,) and carried to the dot cc ti ve office, bo was accosted by his late confidential friend. Scott La about six. fee t'two {nobes in height, rather ungainly and ve ry slovenly In his dross. He states that he is from Petersburg, Va., and still asserts that he oan prove hts innocence. There is a great deal cf circcsslantUl evi? dence against the Moused, and bia arrest, even if he establish bia innocence, was cer? tainly warranted. Officer Coates deserves great credit for tbe skill and patience he ha? exer? cised in conducting tho affair.

' * -.- . The Cotton Crop. ,70 THE EDITOR OF TUG NEWS. I sen bv your paper you estimate tho present crop of cotton at 3.000,000 bales. Your esti? mate, no doubt, weald have been conecta mouth ago, but, from pr?sent prospects, tba crop will not go over 200,000* biles moro thin last year. Ono month ago wo had tho best Binnu of cotton wo have Und for years, hut in tho last two weeks all of tho August cotton has fallen, and now we will not mako over half | a crop. I have nevor known cotton lo* shed and fall BO rapidly in my life. Cotton in this section can now bo picked from ono hundred to two hundred pounds to the band per day; something onboard of in this soe lion for this season ot the year. Gatton will all bo gather? ed and sold by tho 25th Of December. A SUBJCBIBEB or Cows IA COUNTY, QA.. [Wo may add that wo aro informed by a trustworthy corrcapondent, that i? the coun? ties ot this Hiato bordoring on the Savannah River, tho cotton orop will bo cut off one-third, or one-half, by the hot weather and drought. One correspondent Bays,- further, that fron! latitude 83 nor*h it ie doubtful whether tho crop will bo as Iorgo ara that of last year, not? withstanding tho heivv fertilization and bolter culturo this season.-ED.

I nolico thal in your issue of the Ctn im tan t j "Old Pilots" havo thought proper to again bring my name to notice, in connection with the re- I cent communiaationa relative to tho pilotage question. I will terminate tho controversy, as tar as I am oouccruud. ?Itu a fun . r?majhftJn ro|>ij tu ms last communication, x beg ir? will at once relieve himself of bis apparent kind eolieitudo regarding my future prospective, as Ido not by any means anticipate that they will bo at all advanced or looked upon with favor by "Old Pilota," whose prejudico and ill favor hajj boen plainly demonstrated in bis attempt to injure mo before the public. My me a tal capacities being so eadly defloieat at present, may probably bo as tully developed os his own, when he attains tho possibly more matured age and exporionoe of "Old Pilots." In conclusion, I would suggest ha had may as woll acquiesce in the judgment of those who are SB compe? tent, and perhaps mere so, to test my qualifi? cations as himself, and submit, with tho best graco he oan, to my appointment. .

In reply, Ideaire to state that the charges are false -a tissue of unblushing misrepresentations. After reading the ?tale? ments of the so-caded "Old Pilots,* ooo can readily understand thd reasons that induce them to write anonmnoua communications. As .far aa tho brig tiimpden is concerned, I( brought bor in, and waa employed to carry her 'out. If ber captain was satia?led of my incom? petency, why did he not objeot to my taking 'charge of her on her outward pasearse ?
