@s- The polls will be opened at Staunton
on the day of election as early as eight or
nine o'clock, and it is suggested that the cit
liens of the town, should give in their
votes as soon thereafter as possible, SO that
there may be ample time to take the votes
of persons from the country.

THE LAST CHARGE.-Well, we are now
near the close Of the canvass, and every
Individual probably, has decided for which
ticket he will cast his vote. The various
charges made against Mr.. SUMMERS may
have answered their purpose and served to
prejudice the minds of many against him,
not outstanding they have so far been tri-
umphantly refuted. One charge, however,
remains to be noticed-the last charge
purposely reserved to the last, no doubt,
that it might not be answered before the e.
lection. This is specimen Of Democratic
tactics which we did not anticipate. Had
the charge reached our ears week ago, we
might have been able to reply to it. Mr..
SUMMERS was then here, and we could have
enquired of him as to its truth. Now he is
cover the hills and far away" and it is too
late to write to him on the subject. Such
is our melancholy elk" We publish the
charge that the public may see how unfairly
we have been treated by our oppof1ents-
bringing up such serious matters now just at
the close of the canvass. Why didn't
they tell us before1 They dldit "a purpose"
And now for the charge--We have the word

Democrat told him in the honesty OF his
heart that he could not vote for SUMMERS
and for why' because 'he oas an abolition

This society is composed of Germans, and
the Constitution was originally published IN
German paper at Baltimore. The R'ch'

ARCHBISHOP HuoHEs.-There bids fair TO bs q
yerv "pre,ty quarrel "between Archbishop Hughes;
of New York, and the Democratic progresslvrs ia
regard to Kossuth The case is in uusstell.-
His Grace, the Archbishop, or perhaps We should
say, the cardinal has taken up the cuJgels against
Kossuth, for The assault Of that worthy upon the
Jesuiis, and for the barney which he heaped upon
John Bull, notwithstanding Bull had crushed In
Ireland The very principles which Kossrth con-
tended for in Hungary. The Democratic progres-
sives have cut Iouse upon the RemocraIlc Arch
bishop, and the prospect Of 4 general row between
the parties is quite fatter;rg ana eminently ro-
freshing. We look upon the contest with the I'm :
partial feelings Of the woman who behe!d The hight
between her husband and the bear-noi caring
Continental dime which has the worst OF It.
"Under which king. Bezonians2" Hungary
or Ireland? At present, every Democratic paPst
which we have seen defends Kossuih against
Bishop Hughes. Nevertheless, whilst We sym
"a hise with Kossu,h, and whilst we DO no; ngres
with Bishop Hughes in surprising that Kcssush's
reference TO the esuirs was intended as 30 ,sssnI
UPON the Roman Catholic religion. we must con-
Tess that we regard O'Brien and his counlrymsR
as quite cs much entitled 10 the admiration and
sympathy of the world as The Hungarian leaders.

THE CENTRAL RAILRoAD.-The Wesierr
Vrginian urges that We and other advocate;
of the Central Railroad, should 60 over
to the support of Col. JOHNSON on the ground
that he is better friend of that improve
ment than Mr.. SUMMERS. The Virginian
is published in the town where Mr.. Sum
MERs lives, and the editors ought to be ac-
quainted with his views; yet they undertake
to show, on the authority of an anonymous
letter that he favors connection of the Vir'
ginia and Tennessee Railroad with the
Ohio, in preference to the extension of the
Central road. This charge was alluded to
by Mr.. SUMMERS in his speech in this place
and explained to our entire satisfaction. So
the Virginian will excuse us for disregard
ing its appeal to "come out at once in favor
of Old joe"
Col. JOHNSON, it seems, has written a
letter to one of the editors of the Trginian
declaring himself in favor of "ajudicious
system of improvements, and, "to be more
specific" in favor of the completion of the
Central Improvement" Now there may be
dodge here. The Central Railroad is not
generally designated as the Central I'm
provement," and Col. JOHNSON may allude
to connexion with the Virginia and Ten
nessee Railroad. What say the people OF
Monroe and Greenbriar to that /? If Col.
Johnson is friendly to the Central Railroad
it is very strange that his friends in the
North West-his immediate neighbors-
should be entirely ignorant of his sentiments
We perceive from the ParkersbTg Gazette
s. the True Ttrginian(o of Marion county)that
his election is advocated in that region for
the reason that he is lukewarm towards this
improvement, if not opposed to it,while MIR.
SUMMERS has been its warm and constant
advocate. And it Is still more strange that
he should on two occasions have voted a.
gainst the improvement towards which he
is now so favorably disposed. For very
sufficient reason, Col. JOHNSON, if elected
Governor, would not veto bill for the com
pletion of the road, but that he would exert
his influence to promote the passage of the
bill is more than we believe.

lfe-like. which we take from an article in Ar

sister had cent, with which she wished TO buy
a fig and being too sick TO go down TO the store

quickly as could, and told my sister that had

K0SCIUSCO'S HEIRS AND THE RUSSIAN
MINISTRR,

10 compliance with the request of your friend,
Major Tochman, we transfer to our columns the
following communication which appesred-a few
days since in the columns Of the Washington
UaiOn-ED Era
WASHINGTON, ID. c., august 81, 1851.
One Of the grand nephews Of Gen. Kosciusko
Mr.. Hipolitus Estko, residing in Poland, under
the Government Of Russia, has been, by Mr.. de
Bodisco, charged with treason against his Govern
ment. To rescue Mr.. Estko from the consequent
myself and two other gentlemen involved in the
premises, disproving the several charges which
MIR. de Bodisco brought against him. These afi-
dsvits, with communication addressed to the
President Of the United States, has been by order
of his Excellency, sent to the Minister Of the
United States at st Petersburg, in Russia, with
an instruction directing him to hand one copy
thereof to the Minister Of Interior of the empire
Of Russia and TO forward the other copy of the
same to the Viceroy Of the kingdom of Poland.
As the personal safety of Mr.. Hipolitus Estko, as
well as of other heirs of General Kosciusko, re-
quires that this false and malicious denuncstion
be brought now to public notice, respectfully
beg the berality of your columns for the enclosed
documents relating to this subject hope that
you and other editors of the public press will not
refuse this assistance to the heirs of Kosciusko,
whose memory is, | know, deeply rooted in the
bosom of the American People in general.
With great regard,
your most obedient servant,
G., TocHMAN.

FEMALE BEAUTY In DIFFERENT COUNTRIES

The ladies of Arabia stain their fingers and
toes red, their eyebrows black, and their lips
blue. In Persia they paint black streak around
the eyes, and ornament their faces with vari-
GUS figures. The japanese women gid their
teeth, and those of India paint them red.
The rows OF teeth must be died black to be
beautiful in Guzurat. The Hottentot women
paint the entire body in compartments of red
and black. In Greenland the women color
their faces with blue and red, and they frequent
ly tattoo their bodies by saturating threads in
SCOT, inserting them beneath the skin, and then
drawing them through. Hindoo females when
they wish 10 appear particularly lovely, smear
themselves with mixture OF saffron, turmerc,
and grease. In nearly all the islands of the
Pacific and Indian oceans, the women as well
as the men tattoo n great variety of figures on
the face, the lips, the tongue, and the whole
body. In New Holland they cut themselves
with shells, and by keeping open the wounds
for long time form deep scars in the flesh,
which they deem highly ornamental. And
another singular addition is made to their beau
ty by taking of, in infancy, the little finger of
the left hand, at the second joint. In ancient
Persia an aquilme nose was often thought wor
thy OF the crown but Sumatran mother care
'u''g tC uoSS vi ucI uuuSutci'
Among some of the savage tribes of Oregon,
and also in Sumatra and Arracan, continual
pressure is applied to the skull, in order to fiat
ten II, and thus give 1t a new beauty.
The modern Persians have strong aversion
to red hair-the Turks, on the contrary, are
warm admirers of it, In China small round
eyes are liked, and the girls are continually
plucking their eyebrows, that they may be thin
and long. But the great beauty of Chinese
lady is in her feet, which in childhood are so
compressed by bandages as effectually to pre-
vent any further increase in their size. The
four smaller toes are turned under the foot, to
the sole of which they firmly adhere, and the
poor girl not only endures much pain, but be-
comes a cripple for life. Another mark OF beau
ty consists in finger nails so long that castings
OF bamboo are necessary to preserve them from
injury. An African beauty must have small
eyes, thick lips, large, fiat nose, and skin
beautifully black. In New Guinea, the nose is
perforated, and large piece of wood or bone
inserted. On the north west coast Of America,
an incision more than two inches in length is
cut in the lower lip, and filled with wood
plug. In Guinea the lips are pierced with
thons, the heads being inside the mouth, and
the point resting on the chin. The Tunisian
lady, OF moderate pretensions to beauty, needs a
slave under each arm to support her when she
walks, and perfect belle carries tiesh enough
