The graceful sId The beautiful,
The gent,s, kind and airy,
Toee,her met TO mould The krin
!. And gift the mind Of Mary.
There's nature in each careless curl
In every grace mOral;
Her mouth-tis Cupid's mouth-sweet g'ri'
And fab It peaals and coral
Shes ike The keystone to an arch.
That consummstes all beauty.
She's like the music to march,
Which sheds q joy on duty!
All happy thoughts and feelings rife
=, Seem evermore to guide her;
The very ills and cares OF life
Forget themselves beside Der.
Each sweet, expressive glance appears
Ut Natures best selection;
It took the world six thousand years
TO rerfect such perfection!
All gifts divine that could combine.
All charms Of nymph or fairy.
Agreed to grace one beauteOus face,
And witch the world with Mary.
She speeds as il with wings 20 fleet
No birds could e'er surpass them;
Yet none can ever spy her feet,
Though tits believed she has them!
She lends spell to every scene,
Her step makes WINTER vernal;
A something half divine, between
The earthly and eternal!

tut IHo TIOHeeT and DemOcra
SaWamiSh County, Etc.

Mr.. EDToR-SIR:-By your permission
l will give to the public, through the PIo-
NEER AND DEMOCRAT, some information rela-
tive to the advantages and inducements
possessed by SawamiSh county, Washing
ton Territory, for heads of families to make
said county their future home. Geographi-
cally, SawamiSh county lies principally on
the west side Of the waters of the Sound,
having some ofthe most important islands,
bays, and inlets, possessed by any other
county in the territory. Being bounded by
ThurStOn county, containing the capital of
the territory, on the south; the main chan
mel of the Sound aud Pearce county, on
the east; a corner Of Kitsap, on the north
east; Jefferson, on the north; the Pacific
ocean, on the west; and Chehalis county

The EIghIh Of January,

Forty-tour years ago Tomorrow morning
scene was enacted in New Orleaus which
furnished brilliant page in our national
history; and made this day holiday for
coming generations. Then, fathers and
husbands and sons were marshaled in de-
fence Of their families and firesides, against
hostile foe. The city was full Of anxiety.
The voice Ofloudmouthed cannon, the rat
ting volleys Of musketry, and sharp re-
port Of the rife, soon gave evidence that
the struggle was raging with terrific fury.
Who, at this distance Of time from that
eventful morning, can picture the anxiety
and expectation which rested on every
eountenance and drove with quicksned
pulses the blood back upon every heart !?
Or who can appreciate the reaction Of joy
when the announcement was made Of the
glorious victory won, scarcely marred by
even the wall Of private sorrow This ex-
traordiuary battle not only made the Sth
Of January a day to be celebrated with en-
thusiasm during long series Of generations,
but it has had controlling influence upon
the destiny Of the republic itself. Well
may the descendants Of those who, forty
four years since, stood shoulder to shoulder
on the ensanguined field, in o struggle for
their families and their homes, as well as
for their country, celebrate the recurrence
Of the anniversary with TIE Deums and
demonstrations of gratitude to the god of
battle, and by military and civic displays,
which Shall teach successive generations
the peril and the victory it commentaries.
At the present moment there are many
inducements TO democrats to recur to the
life and times of ANDREW JACKSON. His
worthy successor, who sits in the executive
chair at Washington, has deserved and
like him, our unbroken and
unwa7ering support. Like him, he has not
feared to grapple with difficulties, nor
blenched before the storms of sectonalism,
lor quailed at the threats of malcOntents
within or without his party.

Ma EprroR-SIR:-In your "leadorn in last
weeks paper. you commit an error which does me in
justice. You say Il have not the paper before and
therefore do not give the exact ansnage) that II the
last August term OF the District Court in the 3rd
Judicial District, Cot. (now JUDGE) FTzHUGH left
the place Of holding court after having received the
assurance of the Prosecuting Attorney that indic
meut would be found against him. ] gave no such as
sumnce; but when JUpGE FirZurGu was about leav
ing Covtland, (he already in his canoe) he re-
marked 20 me 'that he had been there long enough
and did not believe anything would be done with his
case y and asked me what thought about IT, or that
effect. My reply was that 81 yeally did not know
but supposed no action would be taken In the case.
This Il my recollection of the substance Of all that
passed between cannot now give the words
precisely but JUDGE FTzHuGH will bear out in the
statement that gave him nothing like assurance
as Your leader states. You will therefore please
rect that statement aud pardon me for troubling you
on the subject. Yours truly, -
BUTLER P. ANDERSON
Pros. at. for ". T.
The above communication was handed
10 us on Wednesday evening. Justice to
Mr.. ANDERSON requires that we should
give place to his communication. lie has
right to demand it, and we take pleasure
in the opportunity afforded to give him the
benefit of it. He complains that an "er-
ror" was committed in the leading article,
last week, relative to Judge FTzuUGH. The
language TO which exceptions are taken, is
this: ale was present for five days at
that (the third term of the District Court
at which he made his appearance to an
swer for the alledged crime Of murder)-
and during that time no bill was found, and
be left for bis home with the assurance" "
from both the Judge and Prosecuting At
torney that none wonld be-" At the term
Of the court designated, B. P. ANDERSON,
was the Prosecuting Attorney on the part
Of the territory, and We are led to regard
his explanation as embodying distinction
without difference,
As Prosecuting Attorney, he had GER
tainly no. right to give on assurance in
the premises; and the question presented
is merely one of discrimination between
"asurancs" and opinion. The facts pre-
sented show that Judge FITznuGH was
present at Coveland for FIVE days; that dur
ing that time no bill was found; that no
witnesses being present, the inference was
that none would be; that the Prosecuting
Attorney was Of the same opinion, and
supposed no action would be taken in the
case" The record shows that Immediately
after Judge FIrzHUGn's back was turned,
that an indictment toas found, although no
witnesses" were present. The finding Of
this verdict is a question which the grand
jury will settle with their own consciences
in accordance with the facts which they had
before them. If they were satisfied that
they had sufficient evidence before them fol
the finding, before the altar OF conscience
they will stand acquitted. If otherwise
they will settle the question in accordance
with the record and the facts in the case
