The following interesting communication
fcM been forward publicati n
by lion. Howell C bb, f Houston county,
Premdei
Bel's: els, March 10, 1859,
&>.—We have the pleasure to state that we
have completed our org - ” here, by the
choice made -1 a fii t rate house at Antwerp,
to be our Agent there. We hart
concluded an arrangeme t with a h-usc in
Bremen, which accep ed to b< th< Agt nt I>r
that place. We are now negotiating at Ghent,
and other continental p<>. s.
The question of advance is one which we
find considerable difficulty in deciding upon,
in detail; we have, however, concluded to sub
mit for your consideration and approval, a
system which we hope will be generally adopt
ed by your friends in the planting districts—it
is to advance upon the bale of Cotton, instead
of as now, upon the value. By advancing up
on tho bale, you save the e..p e? - 1 sump. --
classification and utl.e. ■ rot.vl items, con
nected with the process of valuation. Cotton,
on its arrival on the continent, will b<- weigh
ed and classified, and we feel sure that the
Planter will find
weights by this mode, than now obtains. We,
therefore, prop---’ .a < in \nicrica, a
round sum p... ' ■
yard to the quality <j tuc C'-'/'-n, being the av
erage oi 50 per ee.,:., of the value, and toimiki
ft further, or addit, mil advance, when the
Cotton is received in Europe and duly classifi
ed; thia additional advance will amount to 75
per cent, of the value, to 1 ’ paid at sight, that
is, as soon as the cla-si.icati-ii -hall be made.
Wo believe th ■ .-y-n-. . i . king the prelimi-
nary advaueein Amer.. a, on tiro- We, instead
of as now, upon toe iT.i-. to be in the Plan
ter’s interest; however, y-u will please give
us your views on the subject. And we add.
that if you prefer the advance made on the tai
ne in America, we are disposed to make
au advance of 50 per cent, there, and to
complete it here, until 75 per cent, of tin
value, after classification. The bills of la
ding (shipping documents,) with orders
for insurance, 4c., will, in all cases, be expect
ed to accompany die drafts made for the ad
aance.
We took occasion to say. in a former let
ter, that we feel sure, that in time, the Cotton
security will hold a first rank in Europe; in
this we meant our purpo-. is more limited and
must, specially, be din - d to demonstrate,
by actual shipments, that* t:>n can be shipp
ed with safety, precision and profit, direct
from planters to the European consumers; in
consequence, we ought to succeed to be su]e
ported in our first trans ms, by the intelli
gent planters of America, who are perfectly
independent, and we h .pc that we shall find
in them, the approval of the course we now
propose.
We trust you will communicate truly and
without reserve, with u . f r it is important
that there should be the utmost confidence be
tween us and the Planters: we shall of course,
endeavor to meet tl r it -. every way in our
power, but wc must be m -t careful, msl not
endanger the posit: n wo now occupy, and
which is growing -,r n.or ei ry day.

The steamship Quaker City has arrived from
Minatitlan, with San Francisco dater to March
21 st.
By this arrival we are placed in pe« • -ion ■
of intelligence from Vera Cruz to April Ist.
Gen. Miramon appeared before Vera Cruz
on the 18th of March, with a force of three
hundred men, acting as an advance guard, „..d
after reconnoitering, retired. His main army
was encamped nine miles off.
The women and children at Vera Cruz have
been transferred to the ships in the harbor.
The Liberal party appear very animated,
and confident of success.
Gen. Miramon has sent twelve hundred men
to take Alvarado, but the force retired with
out making an attack. Miramon, findinghim-,
self ont-gonerallod at all points, broke up Lis
camp on the 27th of March, aud commenced
a retreat on the capital.
Gen. Ampudia, with a strong force, was in
Miramon's rear, to cut off his retreat.
Gen. Degolado, with four thousand men.
was at Tacubaya, and other Liberal forces had
surrounded tho capital of Mexico, which, it

which entitle Lis memory to the higueal v chelation,

character which will lung be iuiidly chcri'i.c o 1 y Li
professional brethren,as well us the !»» «•• 1,1 ‘
gla, whom he had scried in a diatiugu.. ncl uibciai
position. '
Cui. Molsey was burn tu Hancock c untj in the
year 17911, and completed Lis educa;ion *r. I umbia
College in the Stale of South Car ■j.i. u ’- v ‘
•siting his legal studies, he attended tho L.'.’.v • ‘ !
of Judgaßeeve, at Liluhtield, and was udn.< n i to
the Bar in 1821, soon after which he wa- cn-cv d a
representative from Hancock county in the Legi a
tare, where bis talents commaude l public b itiec. Ea
ty in his fortune, he did nut consider it nevi .- ary t •
apply himself tu severe labor in the profession, which
jtLer aspirants, less favored in that rt;pe< t, had gen
erally to submit to as the sole method of <i<« -s. —
His taste and qualification for political life 1- 4
increa.’ed that in the y> - ar ISao he wa •ir iijn.: I l*y
the Lniun 4>arty, and elected by general ti< m i a.- .
Representative in Congress. Ills course in that bo
u\ was workedby firmness aud intelligence, aud gave
n.iu aprumiueuce in public estimation which he re
taincdlhrough ail the party conflicts iu wuicb he par
ticipated. He was a great lover <4 the L uiun, an I ad
hered to the doctrin *of General Jackson i*»r its pre
servation. For this purpose be establisho! a public
journal of his own, which he conducted wila a"iii ;
r about eix years, until he relinquished cditona
;ife. and again took his place at the Bar.
Removing from Athens ia 1 *.»{, he ref-bled awhile
at Americus, where he opened an office, and wa.
highly esteemed by his professional associates there
for his uniform courtesies and elevation of character.
From thence became to Butler, where he spent the
remainder of bis days. A\hnt has been his course
here, and how greatly respected, i- too well known to
require your Committee to enlarge.
Col. Holsey had been in declining health for the
last two or three years, from a dropsical affection ,
but the symptoms excited in his min 1 no serious ap
prehension us danger. On Thursday, 31at ultini ,
ho was out nearly the whole day, giving directions,
on his farm. After partaking heartily of supper, and
leaving the table iu bis usual cheerful mood, be took
a seat by the fire. Iu a few minutes he was found
lifele.s, sitting in his chair, his Lead a little droop- I
ou oue shoulder as if sleeping. He was adJrtßatd l y
the voice of affection, but no answer came. His no
ble heart had ceased to beat!
In summing up his character, your committee do
not hesitate to say that Col. Hulsey, was a man of
the purest honor, and of singular goodness 4’di-posi
tion. He was was a scholar of disci imitating t.;-t .
well versed in the best authors, and ctpcv;a''.y in po
litical science. He traced the principles of govern
meat to this source, and could always give satisfac
tory reasons for Lis conclusion. S- diw: .; r-
est he took iu politics, that be frequently declared Lis
intention to prepare a work, Vbenleisnr- p< rmitt 1
him, giving the result of his investigations to the p ib
lic. A volume on tueh atopic fr- m•» gentleman so
careful an I solid iu his reflections, v u! I h: >c been
us essential benefit to the country. Asa writer be
was clear in his conceptions, logical in a: , .ri, incut,
and perspicuous in style. His speeches find c Llorial
ui i.'- "ar lb. ' . ' ■ It H
gret that his projected treatise on Government w i
never written. His abilities and research as a >iatcs
inan amply qualified him for tho tusk.
In his social relations, there seemed to l»c no r• un
for improvement Hp was nil kindness and uri-aid .
His conversational powers were of a very Li 1. i . r.
and his address was ut nil times pleasing. Cui. Ib '-
scyv’-it - lin himself the frankness of th? ago in
which he was educated, among the lust of our Revo
lutionary statesmen, with the zeal of a wo re recent
period iu political discussions. His pt r.-oxial width
wa-nil that friends could desire; ami his capacity to
investigate legal questions, toe mprvhend principles,
and to present them forcibly, was admitted Ly ail LU
professional brethren whoever heard L.:a wL- n the
occasion demanded a close argument. He was truly
. a model of generosity at the Bar, 4 rev;. i. f / 'he
• law. and of respect for the tribunal' of i <.• •Inii.i -:.-d
’ ti n. Such was our beloved broth r wh - g ma,
* fa- ■we shall boholl no more nn earth. He has been
taken from us suddenly, and may this dispensation of
Heaven influence us all to prepare iur our final a ■-
count. The life <>f <ur departed friend was upr ght,
his heart was imbued with religious truth, am! he died

David I. Holt. Holt was a warm Troup man 1
in the memorable contest of 1825, and was in 1
the habit of writing long and frequent letters
to the then President of the V. S., John Q
Adams, signed Edward Bucket.
Ihe letters evinced so iirmh talent, mid dis- 1
played such thorough nod accurate knowledge 1
of the questions discussed, that the President’s
curiosity was greatU- exciu-d to know the au

members of ('ungress from Georgia, mid upon 1

Th ? severe loss experienced iu the city, and !
on the river, within a week past, by the burn- 1
lug of cotton, should suggest some means for
- i inter .security to our great staple. The fire
on I i.ird of the Princess, and the burning of 1
the Pirn, tel s’ Pres-, have involved insurance 1
; < i. , .u::es in a loss of moro than half a mil- '
...r the cotton alone that was consumed. |
If tl.e planters have not suffered, the subtrac
ts it ot this large amount from the- reserved ,
capital, or the annual profits of insurance, will
be felt elsewhere. It is a total destruction ot
the value without any return whatever.

Georgia Military Institute.
We learn from rc liable authority that the
first class in this Institute, numbering fourteen
students, were Com t-inartiuled on the 6th inst.,
for disobedience of orders, and all of them ex
pelled. Eight of them, however, were sub
sequently re-inetnted, but they refused to re
turn, believing that they had no more right to
do so than the rest, since all bad been expelled
tor tlie snuft offence. We learn from the same
source that the studei ts are highly incensed
against one of the members of the Faculty.
From the lights before us we are disposed to
side w ith the boys, and are inclined to believe
that the Faculty have been inefficient and I
injudicious in their management.

Fruit Crop-Cherokee.
From nn intelligent gciitieman of Chero
kee, we learn tiiat, un the 7th iiiAtant. there
was a fr st throughout the up-country, which
proved very disastrous to tlwliuit crop. Ini
ail probability the while pea.h crop was nipp- '
' cd in the bud, and a great portion of the ap
ple crop. The winter Ims been _ne of unusu
al mildness and f.cquent rains. The conse
quence is, that tiie fly i in the wheat, which
' is now I lading, and damaging it very matcri
' I ally.
The com is planted but not yet visible ex
cent in a few rich spots. From the prospects
: at this stage of the present crop of ecru in
Cherokee, it is probable that it will nut be an
average one. The wheat crop will scarcely be ,
more than a half crap.— Col. Times, 12th.

Bepcxted Revolution in Cuba.
We have received a Telegraphic despatch
stating that the New York .Son of yesterday
morning m isted the Cuban ting and declared
that the whole island is no doubt by this time
iu a state ot revolt. It i.> also positively as
serted that a strong expedition left New York
for Cuba the-latter part of March.
We do not km.w whnt truth there is in these
reports, bi t it seems from all accounts that ti e
Cubans pre ripe for revolution. The people ot
this country, too, appear determined to seise
the Island, since our Governtuei.t haajried in
vain to obtain it by sale-.
No Opposition Convention.
The Journal <£’ of yesterday says
it is “ opposed to going into a hopeless and
prnftless Gnberuatorial contest’’—thereby can
didly admitting the overwhelming strength of
Gov. Brown and the Democrats in Georgia,
and the utter weaknessot the Know Nothings.
That's right, neighbor. A candid confession is
good for the soul.
