On Sunday evening last our city was
called upon to perform the last office
respect to the memory and remaius of a
late and lamented friend, Hines Holt, sr.
In the person of the subject of this brief
notice, death lias removed an instructive
and beloved exainplar in the public and
private relations of life,
Mr. Holt was a native of Virginia. In
the year 1797, he leinoved to Georgia
where lie continued to reside until within
three years of his death. He was
ive and influential partizun in the
Republican cause during the political con-
1798 and 1800, and through the

In the private and personal relations of
friend, father, husband and master, the
virtues of Mr. Holt were eminent. His
nature was n warm, cordial, and kindly
ml priucipfejC
i—and the noble and li r t
by which he governed and directed the'
lions of bis life, made him the revered cen
tre of a circle of conspicuous and public
spirited relations.
Mr. Holt descended into a good and qui
et old age. Shortly before bis death, as a
means of lengthening out a little, his de
clining years, by bringing to their aid a
somewhat milder climate, nt the urgent s«»-

For upwards of forty yenrs, Mr. Jlolt

iif this duel with the same feeling that
the spectators of the atetia did upon
the wounded bull that the skilful mata
dor had brought to the ground. They
would see the carcase drawn away with
equal indifference, and would ouly ask
that fresh saw dust might sop up the
blood for the purpose of introducing
another, that ouce more their nerves
might tiuglo in the enjoyment of a
tragedy. As to the idea that meeting
to fight a duel involves personal cour
age, it is long since exploded. We
have record upon record, that the ar-
ra«test cowards the sun over shone up
on, have engaged in duels. I trust
there will be no duel. I applaud the
forbearance already exercisad. If these
men have courage, the right sort of
courage—moral courage—they will dis
appoint the expectations of the mus-
tachoed dan lies who want an exhibition
ami who care very little who puts in for
the post of Pantaloon for their amuse
ment. And should they yield this much
to false public sentiment thus manufac
tured, should either fall—what a de
