| His impressions-or shall we say senSations?-
are set forth in the following fanciful para
graph:
'She is not the brilliant beauty we expeeted-but
she has delicate and pleasing face and form
Her jet black hair floats in graceful curs and her blue
eyes-at soft and piercing-beam with intellect
She is very vivaeious and sprsuelle-ul of wit and
gaiety yet dgnifed and elegant
: This description carries us back to the days
of Romance, and becomes one of those creatures
of Imagination
THAT in the colours of the rainbow live,
And play in the plighted clouds"
Yet this beautiful thought has an actual incar-
nation, and may now be found in all the anima-
ton of reality, at the American Hotel in this
city, and prepared, it seems. to break a lance i'll
the tilt-yard of American politics. She must
indeed use the arts of enchantment and wear
Cythereas own cestus to be able thus to lead
captive during 'brief interview" staid
and sober gentleman After this conquest, the
fair and fascinating Lola is well entitled to
erect trophy. She may even adoptthe proud
boast of victorious C9sar-vene, vidi, gici.-
We can now understand the power of tn use
charms which have held in thrall princes and
private gentlemen.
But it is not beauty and wit alone, to which
the spell-bound Editor pays extravagant tribute.
He burns incense to his fair idol ON the score
of her political wisdom. Alas our people are
doomed to surfeit from foreign oracles Kos
suth, like another Peter the Hermit, would
preach a crusade wilder than that of the mad
priest. He would stultify the wisdom of all our
statesmen, and upon the ruins of our govern
ment build up that of Hungary. We think
when she enters upon the political arena this
star shoots from its sphere. We had supposed
that she came among US to display the agility
and grace of her limbs. But it appears that
those admitted to the honor of her acquaintance
are Toasted with political banquet. Since it
is about to become a matter of public concern,
we extract from the columns of her admirer an
| epitome of her political creed:
"She is sound on the Intervention" question-and
to belong the Southern School, in her advoca-
of conservative system OF checks and balances.
| She commended, with much animation Mr. Calhouns
work just published, which she has sent to Eugene
Sue to have translated into French She speaks in the
highest terms of the destnes of this countryand pre-
diets that shall have two Presidents Executive
| heads recommended by Mr.. Calhoun. Washington,
she says is idoized in Europe than in this
| try"
| Shade of Calhoun, arise! Return for a brief
season from the world of departed spirits, that
you may receive the laurel from the hand of
this queen of beauty. Let there be another
Tasso to kneel for the crown to fairer Bea-
trice. Our mind is filed with purturbations :;
for this politician is destined, we apprehend,
still more to complicate the Presidential ques-
ton. We are not only to be called upon to raise
from the dust and reestablish n her nationality
| Hungary, but inspired by democratic chivalry,
| we will have to buckle on our armour, to rein
state in her lost dgnities and titles, this beaut-
full countess.
Frenchmen-ever the slaves of beauty-adore
the principle of liberty under the form of a
beautiful woman, costumed as was all-perfect
Eve. 1t appears the Democracy of Virginia
will soon be summoned to worship similar
| embodiment.
P. S.--The furore still rages-nay, like the
conhagration of prairie, it envelops the entire
scene. Her sparkling wit captives every mind,
and her love-darting eyes every heart. We
have just heard of new triumphs. On Thurs
day night, this empress, for she has absolute
sway, appeared at the Hebrew Ball, after her
evenings exercise. Her face was all dressed
in smiles as she looked on her devoted SUITE
Foremost of the throng, was her true and devo-
ted knight, who had already signalized his gall
lantry by two frowning columns in the s.Organ.''
Next in insinuating assiduity, we beheld no
other than our military friend, Major August
Then, there stood the Honorable, the Attor-
ney General. We never saw him show to
more advantage. At the game of sprightly
repartee we thought the brilliant Lola had
ly two Richmonds (shall we say hree) in
the field. The learned gentleman with a
big stick under his arm, was certainly the
great Panjandrum of the night. We beg his
Excellency the Governors pardon for not
giving him an earlier introduction-but we keep
the good things for the last course. Even this
high dignitary fell a victim to this enchantress'
wiles. When we saw this last adhesion, Tor
cohesion,) we fairly took to flight; for we
would not that this strange beauty should leave
like angels footprints, soft memories in our
heart As it was, we were almost ready to for
swear our faith, and with the idolatrous multi
tude, fall down before this Democratic deity.
DUEL IN TAMpIco.-We learn from the N.
0. Picayune, that duel was fought on the 10th
ultimo, near Tampico, Mexico, between D.
Francisco Melgarejo de Guzman, Spanish Con-
sui, and Jose Maria Pima, lieutenant of artille-
ry. At the second fire the former fell having
received a severe wound. A communication
from his second asserts that Pima violated the
laws OF the duello by firing before the proper
time. Great excitement was manifested on the
subject. Guzman subsequently died of the wound
he had received.
Hon. ROBERT J. WALKER.-It is said that
