The poetry of Putnam’s Magazine is nearly always
good, as witness the follow ng lines, from the December
number, which we, without hesitation, n.->ci:bc to Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow:
Phantoms.
All lious*s wherein men have lives! and died.
Are haunted house* Through the open d<a.rs
The harmless phantoms on their errands glide,
With feet that make no sound ujion the floor.
We meet them at the doorway, on the stair,
Along the passages they come and go,
Impalpable impressions on the ;tir,
A sense of something moving to and fro.
There are more guests at table, than the hosts
Invited—the illuminated ball
Is thronged with quiet, inoffensive ghosts,
As silent as the pictures on the wall.
The stranger ai my fireside cannot see
The forms 1 see, nor hearthe sounds I hear;
He but perceives what is; while unto me
All that has been is visible and clear.
We have no title-deeds to house or lands;
Owners and occupants of earlier dates,
From graves forgotten stretch their dusty hands,
And hold in mortmain still iheir old estates.
The spirit-world around this world of sense
Floats like an atmosphere, and every where
Wafts through these eaithlr mists ami vapors dense
A vital breath of more ethereal air.
Our little lives are kept in equipoise
By opposite attractions amt desires;
The struggle of ihe instinct that enjoys,
And the more noble instinct that aspires.
The pertubations, the perpetual jar
Os earthly wants and aspirations high.
Pome from the itiffttence of that unseen star,
That undiscovered planet in our sky.
And as the moon from some dark gate of cloud,
Throws o’er the sea a (loafing bridge of light.
Across whose trembling plunks our fancies crowd,
In the realm of mystery and night!
So from the world of spirits there descends
A bridge of light, connecting it with this.
O’er whose unsteady floor, that sways and bends,
Wander our thoughts above the dark abyss.

rhetorical flourish, and poetical quotation, ot wh;
might lie termed “ the hi falutin ” style. This sapiet ‘
young gentleman undertook to characterize the last Lej
idatttre of Georgia, as a set of drunken rowdies, with
Governor of the same sort. He particularly alluded t
the generous hospitality of the people of Savannah, i
“a drunken spree.” Mr. Irwin, the able member fro

unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that w

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON REMOVAL.
The Committee to whom was referred a Bill, pro
viding for the removal of the seat of Govesnmen to
the city of Macon—also that portion of the FExecutive
Message relative to the permanent location of the seat
of Government, beg leave to report:
That after mature deliberation upon the subject mat
ters submitted to their consideration, and after weigh
ing the advantages resulting, and evils occurring from
the removal of Ihe seat of Government, they are forced
to the opinion that the wishes of the public, and the n ;-
cjssities of the Legislature, call for a removal from its
[ resent locality. Your committee in making a recom
mendation to this effect, disclaim any feeling of hostility
to the interest and future prosperity, of the citizens of
Miliedgeville—nor are they disposed to violate what are
e r n ously consideted vested rights under the act of
lsoq, providing for the permanent location of the seat
“f Government at this place. Your committee are
aware, that a large expenditure of money will he neces
sary to carry into effect this contemplated removal—yet,
our cheeks would crimson with shame and mortifica
tion, could we for one moment imagine, that Georgia
was so niggard of her money, as to withhold a sum suf
ficient to erect such public building, as would he an or
nament to a State holding such an elevaied position in
our great confederacy ofStates. The present condition
of our public buildings, their delapidated and decayed
situation—their size, structure, and appearance, and the
mockery of every visitor to our Capitol, are degrading
to the pride of every Georgian—other States who are a
quarter of a century behind ours in everything that
makes a people great and happy, in wealth and position,
in civilization and refinement, in character at home and
abroad—can boast of publie grounds and Legislative
Halls, compared so which, ours sink into disgraceful
insignificance. Ours is a growing State. Her inexhaus
tible resources, her exurberaut soils, her schools of
learning, her halls of piety, and above all, her elevated !
position with her sister States, are attracting the atten
tion of those who desire refined society, religious advan
tages. and profitable pecuniary investments—and thou
sands are flocking into our limits to enjoy our prosperi
ty, and share our greatness. Hence the wants of our
[•eople are increased—new counties are made, and our
representation here enlarged, aud to meet these necessi
ties, to provide room for this increased representation,
we must pull down, or enlarge at a heavy expense the
present buildings of our State. In view therefore, of
the present condition of our public buildings, and our
increased wants —your committee recommend its re
moval to some [dace betterculeulated form its commercial
re-outecs, and accessible p< ak> t satisfy the wants and
necessities of the people. Your committee have not
thought proper to designate that place, leaving it for
the vv isdotn of the General Assembly to select its future
locality. Hoping that State pride will prompt them to
erect such buildiugs, as will he an honor, and an orna
ment to the Empire Slate of the South—your commit
tee having performed the duty assigned them, beg to be
discharged from the further consideration of the samej*
Messrs McCombs, Harrison, and Walton of Rich
mond, dissenting.
Several local Bills were introduced, and the House
adjourned.
