VERY IMPORTANT FROM CUBA.
A few dayssince we published an account
received byway ot New Orleans detailing
the political condition of tins Island. And
we are sorry to find from the following ex
tract ot’ a letter to a merchaiit in Boston,
| and published in the Boston. Centinel, con
, firmation of all the worst features of our
I former infoi mation.
“ The Governor of St. Jago de Cuba,
. some time since, on learning that the consti
tution ol 1812 had been proclaimed in Spain,
j (and without official information from the
mother country , or orders from the Captain
! General oftiie Island) took it upon himself
]to proclaim the constitution. 'l’his course
was disapproved of by his superior the Cap
tain General at Havanna, and subsequently
orders were received from that quarter to
I annul what he had dane, and place things
asjtliey were previous to the proclamation of
, the constitution. '1 bis did not meet the
; views ol the Governor of St. Jago, and be
: immediately issued his proclamation, decla
; ring the Province of Cuba, which is the
I eastern section ol that Island, as indepen
j dent ol the Captain General and the rest ol
the Island, and prohibited all intercourse
i with any other part of the Island, stopped I
the mails, &-c, —This state ol things had j
only continued a lew days, w hen official in
j sti uctions were received from Spain, not to
' proclaim the constitution until they should
receive instructions from the Home Govern
ment after the meeting of the Cortes—and
he w as again ordered by the Captain Gene
ral to place things on the old system, which
has again been disregarded, and the Pro
vince, or to say the least, its Governmen.,
now stand in open rebellion, both against
the Home Government, and that of the Is
land.—What will be the result it is quite
impossible to predict.
This state of things has caused great
alarm to the inhabitants of St. Jago and the
other principal cities of the Island. Lithe
former aii business was at a Jtand, and in
many other parts of the Island great alarm I
was felt by the people generally, and men of
property in particular. Large amountsol
money and bills were about to be remitted
to the United States for safe keeping and I
investment—as many wealthy men have |
large sums of uold and silver laying idle,
and feeling confident, (as would be the j
case) that in the event of any insurrection, !
their meney would be seized. Large sums
will find their way to the U. States beyond j
doubt, as gold and silver amongst its inhab- !
itants, with whom it is the lashion to hoard ;
up money in this way amongst ail glasses, '
more particularly by the wealthy, where!
there are many instances of single indiv id- I
mils having from 300 to 500,0“0 dollars in [
actual gold and silver coins in their posses- •
sion, which never circulates.”

ELECTION TO CONGRESS.
I.i consequence of the resignation of our able ;
Representative, the lion. George W.B. Towns, I
an Election will take place on the FIRST ■
MONDAY IN JANUARY NEXT, to supply !
the vacancy.
The Union party have nominated
J AMES LIDDELL of Jackson County.
Col. Liddell is a democrat of the old school— i
a disciple of THOMAS JEFFERSON; the
friend of GENERAL JACKSON, and a
UNION MAN to the core. lie has served
many years in the Legislature of Georgia, both :
in the Bouse and the Senate, where he has ac
quired a high reputation for sound judgment—
strong and discriminating intellect and a happy
and peculiar tact in the transaction of public
business above all, for honesty of purpose
and in: ’trity of character, he is, like Ctesar’s
wife, above suspicion.
Col. Liddell is a farmer—He is one of those
self made men whose example upon society is
above all price, and who should be held upcon
tinually, as models to the rising generation.
We appeal to the Union party, to the work-;
ing men of the country, to stand o;> to their!
principles and their interests—to turn out in one ;
solid phalanx on the fust MonddY in t ext n null,
and elect James Liddell the farmer—the intel-j
ligentand honest statesman,*to represent our!
State in Congress.

SURPLUS Ff ND.
There i» a question to decide,
A subject of debate;
To have the surplus fund applied
To benefit the State.
If wisdom should devise apian,
Reflection should attend,
Economy must lend a hand,
Make policy her friend.—
So liberality should stand,
And justice side by side;
Until they fully understand : '
The cun ent of the tide.
Ifsclf pretends to urge her claipi,
Equality must rule,
And harmonize the whole.
Three preposition; have been made
And published far and wide, I
'Which call for legislative aid,
The question to decide.
First shall we place it in the Bank, I
Subject to its control? ! 1
Or shall it go to furnish planks 1
On which our Cars shall roll? I,
Or would the people call us fools
If it should be applied
To the support of public schools?
Let wisdom now decide.
Results of good or bad will flow
With future shame or pride,
Which cither will decline or grow
As we may now decide.
As it's a sum in rule of three,
Then let us all unite !
Consult together anil agree,
And have it stated right.
If stated right, the work is plain,
The sum is multiplied,
And by division cpual gain,
Is shared on either side.

Georgia Feaaizale College,

THE excerciscs of this institution will be
resumed on Monday the 16tb January,
1837.
From the flattering encouragement we hafto
received during the present year, we have aiacMt
every e.cerlioti, and have succeeded inengagi g
the services of first rate teachers in the several
departments of the institution.—They brinp
with them testimonials of religious character
and literary attainments from many of the
most influential gentlemen in the United
States.
We have made arrangements to have a Stew
fiard-’s. Hall attached to the Institution, at the
aiead of which willbe Mrs.D’ESTE, an elder
ly lady, whose domestic liabils and experience
iv the government of young • laeies, are very
highly extolled. We have been led to this
step, from the inconvenience which young ladies
experience in going to and coming from their
boardinghouses during inclement weather; from
the time they lose, owing to the domestic ar
rangements of other houses, not corresponding
with our own; for the. sake of having ail t)>e
vo ing ladies, at all limes, under the superviaion
of the teachers, as many of them are disposed
to neglect their studies, and become careless of
their manners and language when npt subjected
lo such a check; and, finally, the teachers can
not feel themselves as responsible for those who
board elsewhere, as for those who board with,
them. We do not wish to be understood as dic
tating to our patrons, but respectfully sub
mit the above hints to their sober consideration.
A contract has been made for having comple
ted early in the ensuing year, a Female Gym
nasium, for physical education.
Young ladies who may desire to speak tire
1' rench language, will have urn jmnion advan
vantages afforded them here. Mrs. D’Este was
educated in France, is a lady of superior ac
complishments, and Speaks French and Eng
lish with equal facility. The Principal and his
brother likewise speaks the language.
