The Movements of Cotton.-According to in-
structions from the Freedmen's Bureau, the
authorities in Texas are stopping the transit OF
cotton to the markets until all claims OF the
freed people engaged in its production have been
paid and adj justed. This order creates consider
able excitement and vexation. Cotton loaded
on the cars and on boats at Houston, and ready
to move, has beeen detained by orders Oh thls

eternally on his guard that, when a lady re-
ouested his autograph, he wrote his name on
the very top of the sheet OF paper handed to him.

Lieut.. Gen. Winfield Scott.

The death of Gen. Scott which we
only had time to briefly announce in
our last issue, took place on Tuesday,
the 29th ult., at West Point, n. Y.
He was born in Petersburg, Va, June
18th, 1856, and if he had survived
until the 18th inst. would have num-
bered four score years. His parent
age was respectable, and his early
education for the law, which profes-
sion, however, he left at the age of
p, for Captaincy in the army. His
first notoriety was in the war of1812,
during which he rendered able and
signal services; and was promoted liz
succession from Captain to Lieut.. Col,
from Lieut.. Colonel to Colonel, from
Colonel to Brigadier General, and from
Brigadier to Major General. AT the
close Of 1914, President Madison in
vited him to seat in his cabin ct, as
Secretary of war, but the General de-
clined; and in 1915, was sent to
Europe by the government entruste d
with a secret mission. He rendered
valuable services at different times
against the Indians in the South,
Southwest and Northwest.
His brilliant services during the Mex.
iUau war, wnlchproved him the greatest
living General, fol III an opUUh too CON
spicuous and fresh in the history Of
our nation to need comment. In
1852, Gen. Scott was the nominee Of
the wing party for President, but I'M
fortunately the country elected Frank
Pierce. In 1855 he was brevetteC
Lieut.. General, when it was intended
that he should be honored with The
highest rank in the army while be
lived, but circumstances ordered i
otherwise. His services and histor,
connected with the late rebellion, arr
now fresh in the memories of all on
readers. His funeral obsequies were
observed at West Point on Friday

The Senatorial Question.

The Rutland Herald discusses the
senatorial question in the following
candid manner:
Amid all the excitement which
the discussions of this question will
be likely to engender, the passions
and preiudices that will be naturally
aroused, however improperly, we
shall use what moral and mental
strength we may possess, to keep cool,
and continue throughout the contest
| from all animosity and prejudice, and
we ferventIy hope our editorial broth
rem will not only make their best
efforts in the same direction, but
prove themselves entirely successful
in their endeavOrs.
The Free Press and Times appear
to be somewhat antagonistic as to
their preferences for senatorial candi-
dates, and if their daiIies can manage
to retain their present good temper,
and keep their judgements cool, we
anticipate much profit to ourselves in
the discussion. 1t is most fortunate
thing for Vermont that she has three
men so eminently worthy Of the hon
ors which their respective friends
would bestow upon them, as Messrs.
Poland, Morrill,, and Edmunds. The
main difficulty to be apprehended is
from the selfish motives or passions

their objects. Men going to Wash.
