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.

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.

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.

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. April, 18, 1854. J. A. TURNER. GEORGIA HOME GAZETTE.
