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. LYDIA.
