And here I must pay a just tribute to the per
sonal charms of those women who devote their
lives and fortunes to the moral and intellectual
elevation of their country. When beauty fires
patriotism, we may indeed he prepared to witness
deeds of heroic valor. And what beauty is this
that acts as talisman on a brave people in arms i
for their dearest rights? No fading moonlight :
countenances, blanched by privation and sorrow; |
no waning cheeks lit up w ith a paroxyism ot des
pair ; no polished marble, with its cold repul
sive indifference ; no figure of the drawing room;
tortured into shape by some heathen milliner ; no
withered relics of conventional endurance.—
I There is a wild, daring, piercing beauty about
; these women, sprung directly from the Caucasian
mountains, by the side of which your soft, blue
eyed, flaxen.haired Saxon maid looks like a faint
lithograph by the side of Corregio’s incarnations.
Such women, deeply imbued with a sense ol
their country’s wrongs, and a firm purpose to
avenge them, are now lashing the ficnzy of the
men to deadly combat.

[FOR THE MUSCOGEE DEMOCRAT.]
Sir: —The covert manner of meeting: the charges of
“ Civis*’ in your paper, is dishonorable and unfair. One
Augustus W. Lane, a Justice of the Inferior Court of
Jasper, and a former student of E. Y. Hill's, has pre
sented, (according to public rumor) a reported statement
of facts, (in the Habeas Corpus case of Vaughn) for pri
vate use, to help Judge Hill: and if a moiety circulated
in other counties corresponds with whai was written, it
is a tissue of falsehoods and without foundation. Many
that circulate this, know it to be opposed to the received
and well understood version of the transaction at the
time. We cannot say that all tiiat is uttered in favor of
Hill is as set down. He has adopted this •ingular mode
of defence, and if he and his myrmidons perish in this
Indian hush-fight, it is their own mode of warfare, and
they cannot coinplain. Knaves and fools overreach the
mark, and in proving, assert too much and destroy them
selves. In meeting Civis, they have wounded them
selves and others are unscarred. We cannot, at present,
impute to Mr. Lane right down knavishness: he is too
weak to play the part of a third-rate villain, and too fickle
for even a weathercock. Persons (even some who had
given certificates) went the oiher day to Col. \\ atters, as
one who knew best and recollected the events, and asked
the same questions that Civis wished propounded in his
fourth Essay. The statement of the ColoutTs and Civis
corresponded. This was a clincher to the hopes of Hill.
Their friends were aghast! Something must be done !
They wanted only a weak tool, who had scarcely brains
enough to recollect one day the events of the preceding,
and whose vain ofiieiounness, with a treacherous memory,
are always prone to lead themselves into difficulty and
not relievo others. They at last found the muu in Au
gustus Lane. He has thrown himself into the breach,
and how much he cau fill we will uot answer. The
irit of exaggeration may have added something to
garb of its 6ense of meaning,

Ask yourselves wlißWvasS.hat the much loved,
honest and noble-hearted deceased, W. VV., of Early
county, never went into a nomination when he was a
candidate, which Was often ? Find an auswer to the
quere. It was then that men of sterling heart and
principles, went to the ballot box and voted like free
men. The principles of Democracy were then pure
and undetiled, and no man or set of men could put oa
its garb of white and prostitute it to their own end*
and aggrandizement, or to the destruction of your
principles and your rights.
The said nominee lor Senator of Early and Baker
counties, stands charged before the people of this Dis
trict:
Ist. With being the framer and introducer of thfc
proscriptive resolutions of the Atnericus convention,
in 1848. Or,
2. With being the mere too! and “cat’s paw,” fsr
others, who feared the result of such gag-law meas
ures.
3. With wilfully and maliciously intending to de
stroy the liberty of the press, and the dearest rights
of the people.
4. With being opposed to this same clique Sad
caucus party of Baker some two years ago.
5. With being the mere “lickspittle,” of this same
caucus party,and submitting to, and receiving froaf
their hands, his present corrupt and fradulent nomin-’
ation.
6. With corruptly selling and bartering away thR/
rights of the people to the tJenatorship of 1861, so mi
to suppress an honest opposition. /
7. With being incompetent to fill the ofTity qd^l.n.

Dear Sir : All the nags for the October races aro
in the field ; those who are to run on the great State
course, as well as those who are to run on the little
county courses, for the purses and perquisites of office.
In this county, they are in a high state of keeping,
and constant practice. The colors of the riders’jack
ets are so variegated and changeable, that they can
suit every circumstance; but certain it is, there is
none “true blue,” while or red, denoting “love, purity
and fidelity,” to their constituents. In these races,
all others, much depends on jockey
