On Monday, O’Hrian, Meagher, McMatinis and Donohone, were embarked on board the schooner Swift, which sailed immediately for Van Dietnan’s Land. Rome. —The Assembly in its last sitting un animonsly voted the Constitution oftlio Republic and ordered it to be deposited in the capital with the expression of the unanimous wish of the [to man people. The constitution is, by a vote of the assembly, to be engraven on marble. They also ordered funeral services to be celebrated in JSt. Stephen’s church for those who had fallen in the defence of the Republic.

Tins Late President Polk. —The eulogy pronounced recently in Philadelphia by Mr. Dallas, late Vice President, to the memory of Mr. Polk, is published at the north. Wo give from it the following brief picture of the social character of Mr. Polk: In his personal deportment, he was plain, unaffected, affable, and kind. In no on** ,c - sped, that I it| aware of, did ‘^jj| arl *' om a consistent eirwmlieity ofWtwand purity of man oers. All hisJabils wej4oxemplary and re^ 1 IW ‘ k..t * t unsociW” i industrious but J -.othont austerity, devotional though not 1 bigoted. Accustomed, through a long service, to observe the diversities exhibited by opinion on every subject, ho was never surprized or provoked by any ofits phases, into individual intolerance. His ordinary intercourse and as sociations were equally respectful and cordial with the friends and the foes ol his politics.— And I must bo pardoned for adding that, in this general amenity towards his fellow citizens, without distinction of party, or condition, or pro. tensions, he was nitled by a wedded partner, to whom, all who had the happiness to know her, have united as with a single voice, in awaiding that high and affectionate tribute, won only by irreproachable conduct, intelligence, gentleness, and virtue! MUSCOGEE DEMOCRAT. BY L. F. W. ANDREWS.

The defendant, ns our readers are aware, wan con victed, at the last Circuit Court of Russell county, of murder in the second degree. His counsel took the case up to the Supreme Court, now or lately in ses sion at Montgomery, and the hitter tribunal lias deci ded that the said conviction of McLean was manifest ly unjust and contrary to law'. The'prisoner will therefore have anew trial at tho next Circuit Court of Russel, when, in all probability, he will he acquit ted of the charge, on the ground of insanity. There is something worthy of imitation, some thing for the humane to admire, something akin to true religion, in the unwavering and devoted at tachment with which the few friends of this poor un fortunate maniac have stood by him through trials and difficulties calculated to weary and unnerve the stoutest heart. The self-sacrificing labors of the principal counsel have been worthy of all praise, and whether they will eventually prove successful in re storing a wretched father to the embrace of an affec tionate family. ‘ ,ot ’ *" s willihc the reward which ever nrisej!" ,m consciousness of a good deed, hallow ed byl “ ~lcpns® gratitnido from thankful hearts. been rfcany and grievous., AjU tlui Wf” fff ’ Vl'iißtim'ALlb'al’ ™ the uunvutc i ’ will now prevail, and hid the care-worn and long set-! tered child of irrationality depart, in peace, to the humble home where woman’s love and filial sym pathy are ready to bless and heal ! The I’elot Case.—The Montgomery papers of the 26th and 27th ult. contain the proceedings of a ! meeting of Montgomery Lodge, No. A. Y. M. of I j July 21, and a portion of the citizens of that place 0111 i the 24th, relative to the rumors which have been in ; circulation there and elsewhere, prejudicial to the character of J. A. I’elot. It seems, from these pro-| ceedings, (hat at a meeting of the Lodge prior to the one of the 21st Juiy, a committee was appointed to i investigate the reports which had “for sonic weeks” \ been nrevalent in that community, which committee, j alter giving all attention to the subject, report their i conviction that there is not the “least shadow of J foundation, in fact,” for said rumors, hut that lie has j i been “most unwarrantably and wickedly slandered,” , I &.c. j A resolution of similar character was passed by j j the meeting of several respectable citizens, and ex-1 pressive of their conviction ol the “entire innocence” of Rev. J. A. I’elot. The Montgomery Journal, of July 27, has the fol lowing paragraph in reference to the subject: “It is not necessary to say that there was not. the | slightest foundation for these rumors. In fact the j whole uft'air was the most wicked and cruel, as well I aR the most unaccountable, ol any tiling in ourexpe-’ ricnce. Originated from an idle jest, it was caught! j up and retailed by those who had mi knowledge of its j i origin; was spread and magnified by gossip, until it reached the figure in which it was presented in, the v Muscogee Democrat.” The Journal here betrays a disposition to fasten the j I amplification of this “gossip” upon this paper, in the j lace of the evidence of the Journal's own columns'! that the reports were in circulation ‘for several weeks’ j before we noticed them, and in face, also,of the fact j slated ill our Inst issue, that said reports were about as bad in Montgomery as they were here! But we j will not submit to the foul imputation any longer. ; Whatever influence may In’ exorcised by some of the ! employees of the Journal office to withhold from the ! readers of that paporjhe wli<il^jrntji_ol_ffic_£aae--AtLL Tlogoinc. is a Factobv. —Our renders will .’ j Ik- a'tonisluti, petl-sp* to hear, thallhe system ol j floggng young white female operatives Ims been e successfully introduced into the Coweta rail s c Factcry establishment of this city !

After leaving home, we traveled along smoothly enough until we reached the ©tone Mountain, in DeKalh. This was our first stopping place, and it is a most delightful and agreeable spot, I assure you. Here I first got a quaff of pure mountain water, and , here, also 1 inhaled, for t.hehirst ti nj, those ex- j quisite mountain hrezees, which have since afford- ‘ ed me so much pleasure. An excursion up the Stone mountain is no slight undertaking, lor one who is unaccustomed to mountain travelling. It puts the j best pedestrian to his metal, particularly if he takes the rugged route up which l managed to struggle. There is no spring ol water to regale the worn and weary traveller, as he climbs along the mountain s steep and sunny sides, and the want of water impairs, in a great measure, the pleasure of an excursion t its summit. Although suffering from thirst,l roam ed over the whole mass and relished the heautitu! scenery that met the eye at every turn. This moun tain is much more imposing in appearance from the North side than from any other point; those who pass in the Railroad cars have no just conception of its real beauty and grandeur. VVe stopped at Mr. Johnson’s Hotel at the loot of the mountain, w here we fared admirably well; and, by the way, I must beg to commend this Hotel to the favorable notice of those of my friends who may visit the Stone moun tain during the “ prevalence ” of the Agricultural Fair in August. I next went to Marietta, in Cobb county, and re mained at that pleasant and flourishing little village a few days in attendance at the Convention of the S. of T.
