■ TO SPRING .
O thou delicious Spring!
■rsed in the lap of thin and subtly, showers.
•"Which fall from clouds that lift their snowy wing,
lom odorous beds of light-eiilolded flowers.
And from enmassed bowers
f That over grassy walks their greenness fling,
Come, gentle Spring!
Thou lover of young wind,
That cometh from the invisible upper sea
j Beneath the sky, which clouds, its white foam, bind.
Kind, settling in the trees deliciously, (
Makes young leaves dance with glee,
S Even in the teeth of that old, sober hind, /•
Winter unkind,
Come to us; for thou art
like the fine love of children, gentle Spring 1
j Touching the sabred feeling of the heart,
S)r like a virgin's pleasant welcoming;
Aud thou dost ever bring f
A tide of gentle but resist less art
Upon the heart.
Red Autumn from the south
Contends with thee; alas! what may he show?
What are his purplc-stain’d and rosy mouth, i
And browned cheeks, to thy soft feet of snow, J
And timid pleasant glow, '
Giving earth-pierced flowers their primal growth.!
And greeuest youth ?
Gay Summer conquers thee; 1 ;
And pet he has no beauty such as thine;
What is his ever-streamsug, fiery sea,
To the pure glory that with thee doth shine ? || j
Thou season most divine, ff
What may liis dull and lifeless minstrelsy mgt
Compare wit'.', thee ? Jh
Come sit upon the hills, Wj
And bid the waking streams leap down their side, W I
And green the vales with their slight-sounding ri Mu
And crescent Dian ride, Rsf
I too will breathe of thy delicious thrills, JNv
0 a grassy hills. IM
Alas! bright Spring, not long jm
Shall I enjoy thy pleasant influence; tM'
Por thou shalt die the summer lieat among, nB:
Sublime to v apor in his tire intenee, /
And, gone forever hence, jff
Exist no more: no more to eaith belongJpf
Except in song. F
So I who sing shall die: JR
Worn unto death, perchance, by care and scJ
And fainting thus with an uuconscious sigßP ’
Bid unto this poor body a good-morrow, JH
Which now sometimes 1 borrow, KW
And breathe of joyance keener and moimWi ,
Ceasing to sigh! Mtt ° ’

Charleston, wlL~±
Mr. EMtm :—l trill not takeJP gpace
re your paper, to give you, in all
lit - various resolutions that l£ ve ] X , C]I
offered in the Convention, siney Jny ],, <t
» anmunication. No new subject j
think have been introduced, but a 3L.’ e , lt
number of resolutions have been often*j
upon subjects already before the Col
v “ntion, and in the bands ol the Ccf *
rnitiee, and the movers of a great majf
of them. I think, bad no other, or bigs /
)urpose,i tiian to have their named V
rbrth with the proceedings of the j\' u _
vention. How flattering it is to f ye
one’s name in print!
One of the most interesting
of the Convention was, the discussif
severed Pacific Rail Road P r t > j ects
ihat have been presented, The dl g _
Yon. was commenced by Gen. 1- j-
Grabs of Kentucky, who was fhi|, nvc j
:.y Albert Pike of Arkansas, Gov. j ones
of Tenne.'.- e, and Lieut. Maury, i
order in which I have given their ml
Thar speeches have already been!
Ji.slied : L need not, therefore, atte:J t
gi vc you a synopsis of them. 13 1 JtT 1 g „ t
of pen and ink portrait of the sjjeL rg
as they are among the most
members of the Convention, iA JjQt
bo uninteresting to your readers! Q en
Combs, then, is in the Q |*
sixty-eight years of age, although | ie
tid in his speech, he is the emb* ment
of Young America —that is, ‘'^■L crres _
sion without decay.'’ He huaßc ap _
pearance ‘ and action of a ul n much
younger. Ilis figure is erect ; « 1( J ]iand
"Jull and generally,
with fluency, and sometimes, ever with
eloquence. lie has devoted mu< h at
tention to Rail Roads generally, to
the Pacific Rail Road project, particu
larly, and talks upon the subject like a
practical man.
Mr. Pike is a large portly man of per
haps thirty eight or forty years of age.
His appearance is that of a reckless dar
ing frontier man. His hair thick and
kl ac k —seems to be of twelve months
growth, and hangs in heavy masses
labout Iris shoulders. He shaves no part
Ks his face, so that it is almost wholly
■Overgrown with heavy, black whiskers,
intermixed with a little gray about the
Bhin—which give him a very fierce, pi-
Batical sort of appearance. liis face is
B)f that order that the little girl refused
Bo kiss, because she could see no 'place to
Biss. His forehead, eyes and nose, are
Bfl that look human, about the head. Un-
Eder so rough and uncomely an exterior,
Bprre would hardly expect to find any
thing graceful, refined or poetic. And
Bet, I hav# rarely seen any one possess
ed of more unassuming modesty, more
and refinement of thought and
■feeling than this apparent wildman. He
Bias too, no little reputation as a writer
Bnd poet, being a contributor to several
Iplagazines, and among them Black-
Bpvood’s.’
P His delivery is not the most pleasing,
as he has evidently,' not cultivated the
•graces of oratory, but his thoughts are
bold and forcible, his perception accu
f rate and his logic convincing. He has
energy—natural to the frontier life
Ifvft has lived —which defies all difficul
ties, and forces its purpose against all
odds.
Gov. Jones is a tall, slim man, black
hair —now turning gray. His head is
slightly bald. He is a fluent and forci
i ble speaker, and deserves the reputation
||e has won. *
A f Tut Maurv has a very striking face,
iOi jafffaow medium height, and
u'Auh perhaps that is owing to the
j ing phorter than the other.—
j ias f broad, high, and full foreUeth

PROSPECTUS OF THE INDEPENDENT
PRESS.
The Independent Press is published weekly in
Eatonton Geo., at the price of §2,00 per annum, inva
riably in advance, except where the subscriber resides
in the,County. V „
As its name indicate, it is designed to be entirely in -
dependent, being governed alone by such rules as de
cency, gemlemanmiess aud good morals impose upon
every press. It hopes not, however, to mistake licen
tiousness for liberty, nor seurrillousness for independ
ence.
Its politics will be Democratic—of the school of Jef
ferson, Madison and Jackson. It however is subject
to no party discipline which would compel its Editor
to sacrifice truth and honor in behalf of lus political
associates. He will always speak what he thinks.
One distinctive feature "of this press is that it allows
and invites, a discussion in its columns of all subject
whatever, proper to form reading matter for the popu ■
lar mind. Communications from pnlitical opponents
are admitted upon the same terms as Communications
Iron political friends. It is required of both that they
make their articles brief, to the point, and free from
personality and all illiberal feeling. Religious ques
tions, as well as political, and others may be discussed.
Much of the attention of this press Is devoted to
Literature and general Miscellany. In is not entirely
filled with political wrangling and party strife. It ad
dition to its literary and miscellaneous matter, it con
tains articles on Agriculture, &e. And as Geor
gians and Southern people generally are fond of field
sports, this subject also aids in filling the columns of
this press.
Whatever can add to the prosperity of Georgia, and
aid in developing her resources, moral, mental and
physical, is considered peculiarly adapted to these col
umns. The cause-of common school education especi
ally will be urged upon the people of Georgia with all
the ability we can command.
All Communications must be addressed, (post-paid,)
to the Editor of The Independent l’ress, Eatonton,
Georgia.

and flying rumors of the daily Journal, and the pon
derous Tome of tire future historian,, written after the
living interest arid excitement of the great political
events ol' the time shall have passed away. It is to

and as such, in addition to their well-established liter
ary, scientific, and theological character, we urge them
upon the consideration of the reading public.
Arrangements aro in progress for the receipt of early

be able to place all our Reprints irf the hands of sub
