Abandoned the Canvass

We copy from the Grccnvillc rutr;of. the
annexed Editorial referring to the withdrawal
OF Col. t. 7. Jones, from the canvass for seat
IN Congress. The race is now between Col. J..
ID. Ashmore and I. .. +. Vernon, Esq.
by reference to another column it will be
seen that Col. l.. L. Jones has withdrawn from
the Congressional race.
He states that mis- principal reason for so do
ing, is owing to the wide spread impression
that the contest lies between his comiiu,ilors.
This determination of Col. Jones will no
doubt be regretted i,y many of h is warm p.r
s"nnl friends. who looked with confidence up
on his success at the nppr oaclIing clcctiun.
VIII he was in the field his character as n
high-mlnded and honorable geutleman was
more than nmpiilicd, md wherever lie went he
was received with marked courtesy and respect; :;
and III every discussion with his con,p.titors
before his fellow. citizens he showed that he
was thoroughly acquainted with the great 20.

An Interesting Question.

1he Government has under consider ration an
Interesting question on the construction o f the
Bounty Land Act Of June 3, 1857. This nc,
makes warrants personal estate, and directs, in
case of the death of the claimant prior to the
issue of the warrant. j! shall vest in the widow
if there be one, and if not. in heirs or lccatccs.
The construction given to this law by the Land
once Is, that it is not controlled by former
acts directing the mode of succession, but re-.
Penls such acts SO far as is inconsistent there.
with. This would seem to be the proper con.
struetion 1t is understood different view
Inns been expressed by the Pension Office. A
circular will shortly be Issued. however, deter.

The Comet.

The Charleston Courier contains au interest
ing communication with regard to the brilliant
comet which is now to be seen in the heavens.
from which make the following extract:
The Comet will continue to approach the
earth until the lth October. when its distance
will he least, about fifty millions Of miles, aud
its brightness greatest, about double what it is
at present, and its Iaily apparent motion most
rapid. In the first fortnight Of October it will
traverse an arc of nearly 60 degrees, more
than equal to the length Of its whole course in
the preceding four months. Aicrihc llih the
Comet will rccedc from both the Earth and
sun, and will rapidly diminish in brightness !;
it will cross the plane OF the Earth s orbit on
the 18th, being then ut its descending node.
passing from the month u the south side of
that plane, the ascending node having been
passed about the lst April. more tllnn six
months before Its course through the hcn
vcns will carry it, moving from right to left,
very near to Arcturus in the knee OF Bootes
trough the Northern part Uf Libra, crossing
the Ecliptic ut its descending node in Scorpio
five SIX degrees to the left of Autares, pass
ing along the eastern side OF the figure Of the
Scorpion as represented in the globes during
the latter part Of October. In November it
will proceed into those southern regions of the
heavens which do not rise above our horizon,
but obServaturics in the southern hemisphere
will probably be able to follow it to the end
OF the year. by referring To these constclia
t"ns III the heavens any clear evening, about
seven O'Clock, is future course may be traced.
Arctuius is the bright red star nearly west at
