GEORGIA TO MISSISSIPPI- Aa Augusta Editor** Tribute to Mis* Win- ale Davis. It is no secret by this time that one of the most devoted and sincere admireis of the daughter of the Confederacy during her stay in Athens was . Thomas R. Gib son of the Augusta Evening News. His gallanty, his genial nature, his grace and his wit v ere bright features of the *ocial week, and from his paper it will be seen that his pencil has not been idle: “But Mias Davis, ah yef,—well, she !b all my fancy painted, and more. Just uS a photograph never carries tho expres sion of a face, so a description cannot show the soul which lights the faco and features of this worshipful “daughter of the Confederacy,” The brightest girl in the Crescent City told mo last summer, and I cannot improve the idea, thatPthero was a perfect and instaneous understand ing between Miss Davis and thoso who met her, an appreciation on her part of what a person thought and wanted to say. and a recognition which makes all feel at home. The proximity of Beau voir and New Oilcans, and tho mutual inspiration of these two ch ruling young ladies make them friends, and two such people of ethereal thought and infinite gifts ought to be friends, of course. Miss Davis is evidently a thoughtful young womau; it shows in the serene and splen did face, if it had not been already sup posed from her varied experiences and the suggestive association with her grand and gifted father. 8he is fond of horse back exercise, I hear and the grapeful, sineway lines of her superb figure would in licato that she is mistreess of the situ* ation, when the situation i* a saddle. It would be difficult to imagine the situa tion of which she could not be mistress, for she is certainly graceful to a degree in reception. She does not over dress, and hor manner is very captivating. The frank blue eyes look you full in the face, and the dark brown hair is gracefully ar ranged above and about a head and face which without a strong likeness sug gests the image of her distinguished father, or rather his image when unfur rowed by care and patriotic martyrdom he was the Chesterfield and the charmer of the United States Sena to. She ia in deed a splendid specimen of a Southern girl, maturing into dignified womanhood. Her cultivation gained in her wonderful home and aided by several years' resi dence abroad, show in her easy and in* toresting conversation. Miss Davis and her sister, Mrs Hayes, evidently appreciate the attentiou they are receiving in Georgia just now. In fact they say so in a way that ia not at all commonplace ml perfectly hearty. I can well understand the pride of Jeffer son Davis in his daughters, and what a consolation and constant charm his youngest daughter is in his present fee* b'encfS indin his If.-'a dto i 0 Jt$»im agine, if you will, the thorny path o? the young man who should approach the old veteran to ask for the privileged position of *?Son in law of the Confederacy”!
