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. This Four Faults.— A good clergyman, somewhere on Long Island, perhaps wishing to be rid of his horse and try for a better one, di rected his old negro man to sell his beast for wbat he would fetch, or to exchange him for another, aduing at the same time an anxious caution not to deceive the pure baser, and even enumerating the t a uyl ii i n al u (v , 1 IJL jx l • 1 lucrtVTlLt ii MUSCOGEE DEMOCRAT.

Europa’s accounts earns as Niagara’s—Fair Up lands, five pence and five eights.” [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, is but the hat> fled. siShau it, therefore, ami Ask yourselves wlißWvasS.hat the much loved, honest and noble-hearted deceased, W.

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.

A Voice From Randolph, 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.
