Spring Time.-The sudden bursting forth
of the so-long-delayed Spring time upon
Washington has difused new life and ANNA
ton throughout our city. The trees and ami.
mails already show the genial inf uence of the
change upon them, as we'll as all the people
we see. For the next three months W ashing-
ton is to be the most delightful point for So
journ, in the length and breadth of the whole
land; for during that season its climate is al
ways unsurpassed, even by that Of Italy.
We advise all from any quarter of the coun
try who can find time to visit the Federal
city, to hasten hither with as little delay as
possible; for just now they will have an oppor-
tunity to enjoy such trip, intellectually and
in every other way, as at no other time during
q session.

already conversing over it. Mr.. B. receives
the hearty thanks of the people of Washing
ton and Georgetown for the solicitude he has
invariably manifested in securing for them
that consideration on the part of the Senate
their relations to the General Government
demand and justify.
