BY the steamer Isabel, which arrived OF
Charleston on the 2sd ult., we have advices
from Havana and Key West to the I'D ult.
Nothing of special political Importance has
occurred in Cuba. The Island has been divided
into six military districts. Business was brisk
for the season. Sugar active, freights brisk,
and a large number Of vessels loading. None
tary matters were in stringent condition,
there being great scarcity of change. The
weather was excessively warm, and the yellow
fever greatly on the increase. The Government
finds great difficulty in paying of the soldiers
and officers.
The correspondent of the Charleston Courier
gives the following:
ga party Of marine (spanish) officers were
proceeding day or two ago on party Of
pleasure to Marianao, pretty little village
about three leagues hence, when the passage Of
their carriage was stopped by rope stretched
across the road. gang of armed negroes then
made their appearance, and proceeded to relieve
the officers Of their watches, purses, ETC.. secua-
dam drtem There scarcely passes night
in which some human life is not sacrificed to
the brutality Of these negro wretches. For
tunately, they quarrel among themselves and
kill each other. There have been several MUIR
ders of this description lately. Do you not

We do not know whether mosquito or gnat
could live in so pure an atmosphere, and we are
very certain that mosquito bar would be Q
useless curiosity.
On Saturday great number Of our party
took the ears for the State line, about twenty
miles beyond Fillmore city. The country MS
we advanced became more undulating and va
riegated IN Its general appearance, but from
our observations we question much whether the
lands improve in fertility or value beyond the
point we have spoken of. The depot at the in
.tersection of the road with the State line will
be the great centre of commerce for that section
Of country. The town of Liberty is situated
about twenty miles North west Of it, that Of
Holmesville about the same distance North least.
Many lots have been already sold, and stores
and dwellings are about being erected; it is
certain that enormous quantities Of cotton
will be transported from this point SO soon as
the road is in constant and regular operation,
Our company Of course drank the health Of
the great State of Mississippi, and generally
expressed the hope that she would complete the
work which Louisiana had begun.
