FROM WASHINGTON. Wc see it stated that an important point in the difference:! between us nnd Great Dritnin concerning the nortli*western boundary line lies in the representations of our official:*, civil and military, from the region of the disputed territory, to the effuct that while the United States Commissioner was instructed generally to run the line according to the treaty, the Hiitish Com. missiouer was under instructions of his ( overnmcnt bs to where the line should be run. This fIiows how much more vigilant the British Gov ernnieut is than our own in such matters.

DU\TH OF EDMOND COBB. There is scarcely a week but that we are called to the performance of that Had and painfiij duty of announcing the death of porno one Of our acquaintances and frieiulii. \V? "iate to-day lo record the death of Mr. Kom'?\o Couu, of this villrtge. It is n niourufnl tiling to realize the fact tlml friends with whom wo linve lieeu associated havn pnssed from earth to that apirit laud, from "whence no traveler return*." We had only known the deceased intimately since the bepiuing of his proprietorship of the Marshall IIuubp, during which time our relations have been liaimht else but tlmtnf xliip. lie appeared well audclieerful on Monday 1111 lit 3 o'clock, about which time lie procured i'rom one of our Druggists four ounces of I.ntidnnuin, lie iHtsaid to liuvc taken the entire qunntit}-, wliiuli resulted in death four hours arte*'.? Even his most intimate friend* li;ive not the inont remote conjecture of what induced liiui thus to destroy his own lifo, irilcss it was the apprehension of the death of Iiih wife, who has for ten days been seriously ill.

Who lias them not) Let us forget tliem, and drop the tear of piiy, if not for him, fur them whom his Jeath hath so be' leaved. Raiting the Ship* at the Crimea.?A correspondent of the Loudon Times, recently returned from a visit to Sebnstopol, states that the raising of the sunken fleet was progressing very successfully. About fourteen ships oniy remain to Ite raised, con*istiii<r chit-fly of threes docker* itnd Irigates, for which larger and more powerful derricks were being constructed.

A few weeks sineo our copartner, Mr. T. II. Cn?.w.?, having a small fuinily to provide for, ami hcuig, we suppose, to bm?o extent destitute of many of the little tilings necessary to ilieir coin f.?rt, nnd being instigated by the truawiiiga of app<A\i<\ published a notice of his forlorn condition' , iiAing ibut any person who might have such firings us OliickeiiF, Kggi, &c, to dispose of to cull nt ttiti Manner Office. The notice seems to have produced a terrible commotion among our fiiends. Tlioy have been seized with the idea that the Kditor of the Unnncr was in an alarmj inirly destitute and dcplorubl? condition, and : straightway mako an exhibition of their comj passion by sending provision to But into an hun' cered appetite. One friend ships to our address ! Thirty bnslicls of Potatoes ! An unknown | female friend sends per Rail Hond a box of pro* 1 visions, with the following list of contents: l'nj talot*s, Beans, Green Corn, Kggs, ham, Jelly* Sweet Cukes, Crackers, Bread, Radishes, Apples' ] and many other "dainties" ton tedious to meni lion, addressed to W.

It seems that the Federal Courts in this Territory, ore made n mere mockery, through the lawless nnd rebellious agency of the Mormons. The couft being in session, thus declared bv them to tip invalid. The first case taken up, that of .McNeil against lirigham Young, for faleu imprisonment, WU8 found to be elided by McNeil liavingbceu murdered by tlie Dainties. The next case, one of murder, was rendered abortive by the Mormons hnving run olF the main witnesses. The third cade, which was against two Mormons charged with forging Government drafts came to a stop because tho main witness, John Wallace, sent a letter to the Judge, dated Caiup Floyd, saying that lie had been warned that, if lie came to Salt Lake City to testify, he would l>o murdered. The Judge rend the letter to the (Jrand Jury, and ordered the Marshal to take a posse and place the said witness under the protection of the government. Another case, which was a civil suit against Hickman, a notorious Drtiiitc leader, was put off to bo compromised, nud soon after the Dunilca surrounded the house of the plaintiff, Drown, and killed him. Thus it went on through the whole term. THE COMINGTCROP. Messrf. Culser, Harrison and Co., in their niliui:il lurnilnr. Iinv? lli?? fol!au?ini? ??? 1 ~ - ..... - ...V .u '??1U IV 1110 pre out crop: 'I'lm position and prospects of the growing crop do not, in Die main, vary much from those m tlii* (lute last yeur, excepting th.it the over, tlowed lands were relieved from water several weeks earlier this season than latst; and consequently, half to threw fourth crops may he looked for from this source, as the occurrence of killing frost may be early or lute. Though the spring was generally late, yet good stands were secured, and the prospect up to the first week of August was highly favorable, except on some upland districts, especially of Mississippi, Northern and Northwestern Louisiana, and the contiguous portions Aikausas and Texas, and in South Carol inn, where little l'nin had fallen for over two months. The consequeuce of the August rains on stunted and almost sapless plants was a very heavy shedding, leaving little or no prospect of recupcratiou, unless the most favorable and improbable combination of weather should occur through the fall. The bottom land crops are every where good, and will yield heavily, noiwiiiihioiuiing ihe prevalence of rust and rot, the rfcHiilt of August rnins. It must be borne in mind, however, that though the Mississippi river nnd Imyou crops are as forward im last year, still the upland crop generally is about a week later than then ; on the former, as well as bottom lands in generul, a large crop U certain ; but on uplauds the yield must be very short if frost Khould come sufficiently early to prevent the maturity of any second growth thut may have taken place since the midJIc of August. It was to Die unusual fact thnt such a second growth did mature last year thut the large crop must be attributed. The liulf const of Texas will send forward this year u much larger pro|>ortion of ths crop than evnr l>efore. The ca>ly pickings of the present crop were discolored, aud some of them dusty, ill coiispquence of unfavorable weather, hut they are now improving. Aa regards quality, the staple is likxly to b? good, but much trash may be expected as the result of the exuberance of the river crops. Taking into account the natural increase of 16<),OUO bales, and the same amount from overflowed lauds ill excess of Inst year, we think Hie crop likely to reach -l.OOO.OfMi. thomrli this estimate is liable both to diminution or increase, n? the recurrenco of fowl may be earlier or Inter iliun the average date of the past fifteen yearn, which hna been the 10th of November.? No reliable estiinnte of (be crop at largo ean now iie made, having reference solely to the re* ceipts at the ports early in the season, as compared with the pievious years, iu consequence of the greatly increased facililitiea for bringing the crop forward. The circular also calls the attention of plant* era to the growing evils of Sandy Cottons: As the rrsult of long continued dry weather ill September and October, with a large quantity of Coitun opeu ill the fields, an unusual amount of duat is blown into o|>en pods; while later in the season, the prevalence of heavy winds and rain beat a large quantity out on the ground, mingling it with the earth am) sand. Much aud just complaint of thia has been made by buyers; iu some cuset twenty, and even over thirty per cent, in weight of dirt being found ill a large number of bales. Notwithstanding that such Cottons were bought at from 5 to 7 cents, still the purchasers have been involved in heavy losses. Some thonsaadu of bales lie over here unsaleable; and a considerable per centnge of the stock in I.iv#rrvwil I? nf ?? ?? ? We n(;nin call the attention of our planting friend* to this subject, and renew the suggestion, that as a remedy, all rtioh Cotton should be placed on opeu or Ioom scaffolds, and tba dirt beaten out, before the Cotton is passed into the gin liouxe. Some remedy is demanded, injustice to our own reputation, niul the interests of lb* foreign purchaser and consumer. OUR ARMY.

It thus appears that on tho 1st of January last, tlicre were lo8ii commissioned officers, of which number 29 are from South Carolina. In the year 1858 there were 7 resignations, 1 commission vacated uuder the 7th section of the Act of June, 1H40, and 1 commission vacated by new appoiuttucut. Tlicro were 24 deaths and 1 dismissal.

Waltcrburo' Sun. THE PAST. 'Tia truly an ill-Bpent life that can look back upon the past and fcu no sunny spots, see no verdant inlets in this great occau of life?see iiiiu^iii uui a uounuiess waste, an arid plain of misery. Ho who has lived such 11 life must indeed possess a spirit whose " motions are dull as night" and whose affections are "durk as Erebus." Thank Heaven, it is not so with us?we have no cause for murmuring at the past. Though our life, thus far, has been one of mingled eunwhine and storm, yet there are many happy moments, forever gone save to memory alone, which we would fain recall and live over ? ninny pleasures of the morning of life, now that we are Hearing the meridian, which afford us much happiness by the very recollection of them. Although this life has been called?and to some extent iruly?'? a veil of tear*," yet we see much in it to biuu us to its terrestrial pleasures, and cause us to neglect preparation for the celcs. tial. We have never learned to regard it as "all a fleeting show," nor felt any truth in ihe sentiment that '"friendship's but a name." Who is it that enjoys no pleasurable emotions while dwelling in sweet meditation upon the scenes and friends of oilier days, when the heart's young olfactions were free from deceitfuliicss? And reader, we ween that such is the case with you. If so, you will pardon this feeble attempt at a dissertation on the past; and while to some it may be seemluss and unmeaning, yet to others we tru^t it may touch a responsive chord. The only excuse we have to offer for this intrusion (as it contains nothing in which the public have any concern,) will be found on reference to articles in the Anderson (jaz'tt* Greenville Kntrrprioe and Laiirensvillc Jlrraltb miliums to scenes which transpired when James Hoi.mngswortii, C. M. MoJuskis, J. \V. Saxon, and the writer of thia article worked in the Herald Ollie. It would indeed betray a calluu-iicaH of heart that we might well blush for, were we to preservo a stubborn indifTcreiicu in reference to llioso scenes. Like thoso of all Printing Office*, wo were a jovial, happy set, from the youngest apprentice to the clever " boss'' himself; and should we live out the full time alloted to man, some of the most pleasant recollections of our life will date from that lime. But alas! as in all the shifting things of lift*, Pate bid a change in tbeso happy scenes, and the stern decree must be obeyed. Death, the grizzly form of Death, stalks in amongst us and claims a bright eyed, rosy-cheeked lad, and the favorite of a household. The icy finger of disease was laid upon him?the eye that so recently gave evidence of vigorous health, and sparkled for a long life, lies palsied in death The coffin and the winding sheet are brought, and poor John is borne to the Hills of the Dead. May he sleep sweetly in his narrow bed?may the dews of Heaven fall lightly upon the sod that covers his corse. Through the parental kindness of a forbearing Prov idence four of the group are still playing their little parts in the great Drams of Life, and ww wu.m.,1 ? viw iiiu kjj me ai t jucservative"?one in Andereon,one in Greenville, one in Laurens and one in Abbeville. A reunion hns been proponed nnd agreed to by the other three, and in reply to their query, we any with our wliolo heart we will join you ; and as one of the party proposes, "let the meeting take place where those happy moments, to which we have alluded, were enjoyed." Ye*, there is no other place bo appropriate. We would gladly greet oncc more the same happy face* within the old walla of that office. To uaHisa hallowed spot, with which many happy associations are connected. Twas there many of onr happy boyish days were past?'twas there we first felt the " tender flame" of boyish love. Commercial.
