Mrs. Jefferson Davis.
'. Washington society f lias ' lost one of its
, brightest ornsmcnts by tho sudden and unliap
1 py disruption of the political ' rclatk,as
between the States of the Union. Mrs. Davis,
the wife of the President of tho Confederate
States of the South, was for many years ac
knowledged at our National Capital as one of the
representative women of the land as one of
those who give shape to the character of Amer
ican womanhood, and present to the attention
and admiration of the educated and well-bred of
other countries, its peculiar characteristics of
grace, temflrnoss ami dignity. Uniting to tho
tastes and education of a well-born lady a most
marked degree of personal character and
strength of judgment, Mrs. Davis is singularly
fitted to be the wife of a public man, and to
mix in the society of a cap'tul and hnro in the
duties and responsibilities pertaining to high
station, and we cannot but regret that the influ
ence and example of such a woman have pass
ed away from a spit which we must still recog
nise as the sent of our government and the scene
of its highest triumph, political and social.
In saying thus much, however, we cannot but
congratulate the now government in having a
lady so peculiarly tjiuilificd to preside over and
exercise the ameniliet of tlieir first Presidential
household, nnd particularly one who embodies
in so marked a manner the lofty elements of
the Southern feminine character. There is one
peculiar trait in Mrs. Pnvis's nature that hits
attracted thcntteiitioit f her friends, and which,
more than any other, gives evidence of woman
ly heroism tlint is, an instinctive and irrepress
ible hatred of meanness ami hypocrisy iu either
public or private life. She hits the courage, too,
to show her feelings, and to boldly and earn
estly rebuke any exhibition of these cowardly
and degrading qualities, and all this without de
parting from tho sphere of her duties or forfeit
ing her character for modest grace and true wo
manly !cariii!. VY ray,' therefore, ngnin, that
we cordially congratulate tho governtr ent of tho
Confederate S'atcs in the happy circumstance
of their having in tlie wife of their Chief Mag
istrate a lady so worthy of the station, and so
eminently qualified, in a social sense, to give
eclat and character to their new work. We
have already said that Southern manhood is, we
are convinced, the highest form that humanity
ran present, nnd we can only add that, if Mrs.
President Davis be a fair type of Southern wo
manhood, (and no doubt "Sparta has a thou
sand good as she,") the world may search in
vain for loftier and nobler representatives of
that sex which is its cliicfest crown and bless
ing. An Old Adage Keiuted.
"When poverty comes in at the door, love
flies out at tho window." So sap the adage,
and they expect us to believe it Out upon
such simplicity. No man nor woman but will
boldly contradict it, whenever and wherever
they hear it spoken. If there ever existed love
realj pure, hctrt-felt love in tho heart of
any mortal, think yon that 'the loss of a few
luxuries, or the want of a few comforts former
ly enjoyed, could banish this love from the
heart, or deprive it of the tender and earnest
confidence and faith which had ever been its
rerylife? -Would not poverty rather be the
Beans of strengthening and refreshing tho feel
ings of making the words and actions more
kind and tender t would it not rather be the
means of making the wholo life more devoted !
There are certain cases, we confess, which
might, in some case, justify the proverb : but
it ought to read, "When poverty conies In at
the door, teeming love flies out at the window."
We, all know there is a vast difference between
seeming and true love. How vcry, very many
things teem to It, nnd yet are not .And this
poverty is the real test, the real trial of love, -We
once knew a young lady who was vainly
wooed for years by a rich man. She was very
beautiful, but she was also very proud. She
never loved him truly until poverty fell heavily
upon htm. And then he came no more to her ;
he dared not seek her presence. Yet she sought
bim; and there, in his own humble home, ac
cepted the love which she had refused when he
was owner of a stately one. ' ' ' I
Some people said she had no "proper pride,
and that she was "throwing herself away ;" but
those who knew her better said she had done
nobly and well ; and so she had.
Never before bad she looked so beautiful as
when she stood by ber husband's side in their
plain little home, and spoke of their flitnre.
And in after years, when, y their nnited labors,
wealth had once more returned to their dwcll-
wig, the same sweet expression still rested on
ber features; but tlie $- was all .gone, and in
its place there was a iook of soft contentment
which " proclaimed more plainly than "words
could have done, that "poverty can never put
lore to flight, but that love must ever be exalt
ed'and purified by honest poverty V '.' t 1 '
And so it is. Why, then, should we not be
lieve it? Even the "belief will do us good.

but it will endeavor fnilli'ully to repn imnt the views

fj telle county, and to uphold and foxlrr all the great
interea'a educational, agi-leulinnil, niatcnal, social
and moral with which the highest wellare of our pee
pie ia identified.
The funihuiientiO doctrines of the State Rights
aulinol of Denioeraer will cmKtitute the fruidea bj
which the poliliml .dnrae of tlie paper will be eon-
trolled; and while the Intelmuxnckb will sustain
Boutliern inatilutirnit, and the caive of the Siuth, with

sou and argument retneinbciini; tlmt there ia s seal
which "Li not acvordinir to know ledge," and whoae
only weapon are enqity deilmnaiion and appeals te
popular ignorance, pnnion, and prejudice. It will
