line Of nv present situation.
Not far from Clinton, in the same parish. =,
surrounded by the exhilirating influence ofs A.
climate, prospecting landscapes Of identical ~,
-sloping hills and broad valleys, beautiful ~
meadows, and forests of dark verdure, have ~
ed my tent during the prevalence Of the T..
with you. Balmv breezes, enlivening odors. M
the sweet carols Of birds, prolong the happy hon.
of day, whilst at night, the jovial inmates d u
house meet in the cool galleries and pass the hr
morous jests, sporting with each other in mann,
provocative Of hilarity, but perfectly innocent
Occasionally, the ladies' voices from the paI,
come softly along the mellow breeze, rolling in m
dulating MARBLES 80 gentle, vet 40 sweet.
'Tis true, that the "Feciana Springs" owsa
by Mr.. Elsaphine Jackson, mirthful, yet hospA
BILE gentleman Of fsixty, situated six miles eaa from
Clinton, have not acquired an the facilities anaca
modities necessary to their being regular vus.
ing place but such is their infancy that nctAih,
more can be expected by the most extravans
than has been done. We have several resuk
boarders from Clinton and visitors from dfnesw
parts of the parish are daily falling in It tisanu
desirable position for an establishment Of the tsa
the water has been pronounced eficacious to heSk
by many of our most erudite physicians, and ncA
ing remains to complete them but the liberal ~
tonnage of the country people, backed by the inlu
from our afflicted towns in this parish. Our amsse
ments are limited on account of the inability Of II
proprietor, at present, to improve everything i
er to for improvements; in future it is my nes
cleus of fashion and gayety, the resort Of invalt
and adventures, as Cooper's Wells have becou.
to Mississippi Mr.. Jackson wehope will have lhs,.
al encouragement in his audable enterprise, andh
may be our fortune at some future time, to iian
the circle of gayety under this hospitable root
To the citizens Of our parish, would say,vha
you wish to leave the monotosy Of business W,
and join in the revelries Of the gay season, Wy
can you not, instead Of visiting some distant pha
come here and spend your season with the eosd
humored and accommodating proprietor Of sAss,
springs? 1t will be establishing resort near 4
home, and advancing the welfare Of yonr paslA
This is one Of the most healthful regions in u
beautiful scenery around, and industry and eneor
agcment will accomplish the rest. If our devsts
Clinton must be visited by the fell destroyer, ,ls
have place Of immediate resort, where We ns
fly at once.
As the day grows apace, and the warmth Of b
san increases around, must finish this first epx.
with the hope that all will give it a thoroughx r,
usal, and act upon the principle Of internal ia
provement-" Axlcrs-
