DAILY NEWS. MONDAY M01{N1NU7SE1>TEM1JEK l?. l?l''5. ALEXANDER II. STI',l'Hi:\s IN PI.ISON. [I'rnm the ?tost?n Journal.] Not for three lonj; years has tho securo and BC i-??badet, fortress in Boston Harbor, known as Fort Warron, been ho barren of Con?cilcrato prisoners, Jn point of numbers, a? at the present turn?. Since tho sudden and fatal explosion of tho Southern Confederacy, and Uiemsi-ffeataiwearauceBOT loy- \ altv to the Union on the part of tlioso caged with- ! in ilH strong walls, tin? number of prisoners at ; l-'ort Warren ban rapidly diminished. Through UlO uniform lenity of UlO Government which th??y conspired to destroy, several hundred have been | released from the l-'ort within n lew weeks, after goiiif,' through the formality of holding up tha right hand and ?wearing allegiance to the country which forgives them the eriine of treason. The oath which they subscribe to is tho ordinary oath i of allegiance. Tho majority of the prisoner? confined in the fort at the close of the war?several hundred in number?quickly availed themselves of the oppor- I tunity to subscribe to the oath of loyalty, and thus exchange their prison life for one of free dom. This generous privilege was extended to all, with perhaps the exception of Vico-Prcsidcnt Stephens and Postmaster-General Reagan, of the lato Confederacy. They were offered the alterna tive of being released upon condition of leaving tho country, never to return, or remain in prison, and take tho chances of pardon by tho Govern ment. They made choice of the latter nrlvitae" to secure tlie liberty ?men would be most agreea ble to their tnstes, iind hence their detention until thoir cases are acted upon. ?'rom the faet that Alexander IL Rtcphons was the Vicc-l'rcsident of tho Southern Confederacy, and, of course, one of the leading men in the se cession government, there is a superior interest felt in tho history of his prison life. His incarce ration has not effected him to such a degree as has the imprisonment of his associate traitor, Jeff. Davis, in 1? or tress Monroe. This faet may, per haps, be attributed to two reasons, one of which is that the confinement of Stephens is not so close as Jcfl'.'s, and he does not regard his crime so enormous or its punishment so certain or so se vere. When Stephens lirst arrived at Fort War ron, he was kept in close confinement, which wore greatly upon his physical constitution. Now he has full liberty to go and como when und whero ho pleases about the fortress?always, of course, being kept within the inclosnrc. He spends much of his time in walking about, and finds groat con solation in smoking an elegant and cosily ineor shiiuin pipe. One of the soldiers who bad seon it while on guard duty expressed the opinion that it was worth about one hundred dollars. Stephen?! also sportH an elegant gold watch, which is tho envy of all who have seen it. It is well, perhaps, in speaking of the valuables possessed by the prisoners when thoy are commit ted to the Fort, to remark that they arc not taken from them?a fact in very decided contrast to the cruel and shameless robberies of the officers in command of the rebel prisons in the South during the war. Stephens is inclined to bo 60eial anil communicative to all who como around him; and in his conversation upon the late war and its cause Jic says ho is a good Union man, but also an earn est advocate of ''Southern rights." He lias made application for pardon, and has many Southern friends constantly besieging the President in his behalf. Some three or four of these havo been permitted to visit him within a few weeks. He often expresses the wish that ho will soon either have a trial or receive a pardon, hoping, of course, for the latter. Ho endeavors to keep well posted on affairs going on outside, if the presence of the Journal and other daily papers in bis quarters is any evidence. Stephens is not unmindful or un apprecialive of any little favors or attentions which are shown him, even by the juveniles. A little girl who recently sent hinia boiuiuet to adorn his lonely quarters, received his thanks and a tine gold dollar coin in return. Postmaster-General Jas. H. Reagan takes his confinement in a manner equally as philosophical as Stephens. He is awarded the same privileges and kept under the same restraints. He is a much younger man, and probably not possessing the in tellectual abilities of Stephens, the fact of his be l?g a prisoner is not so mortifying to him. He spends a great portion of his time in promenad ing the grounds Inside the fort, and hko his fel low-prisoner is inclined to bo sociable and talka tive. The quarters of the prisonci's are below the level of the ground, a distance perhaps of about eight feet. They are, of course, provided with separate apartments, and each is furnished comfortably, lieing below the surface of the earth, some damp? ncs8 is inevitable, and to counteract its effect stoves are provided, in which tires are built when ever the prisoners de-sire it. There are only three other prisoners confined in Fort Warron besides Stephens and lloagan. Two of them are blockade runners, who refused to take the oath of allegiance, and the other is Charles Cheshire, formerly one of the Supervisors of Brooklyn, N. Y., who is in close confinement for jfrauds perpetrated in recruiting. *.* - -Iihbissippi CextbaIi Railroad.?We arc inform ed that tho force now employed on tho Mississippi Central Railroad, between Holly Springs and Grand Junction, will have complot?d their work on that section within a week, ana that immediately afterwards the united forces employed by the company will be brought to operate upon the north section of the road, extending from Grand Junction to Jackson, with the view of pushing tho work through with as littlo delay as possible. "Within the space of threo or four weeks, it is thought, all necessary repairs will be completed, and flic road in good order, and in operation the entire length. Tho advantages, in a commercial point of view, to result from the completion of this work, are numerous, and apparent to every intelligent reader, Tho country along the line of the Mississippi Central Railroad is in the most desirable state ol repose?no guerrillas, no robberies, no violence.

Last year wc applied fifty-five (55) tons to three hundred ?iud seventy-five (37fi) acres of land for cotton, say about (?WO) three hundred pounds per acre. We rub bod the seed in the PhoHphate, and also sowed it in the drill with tho seed at the time of planting. Ou u portion of the land we applied a top dressing of the Lime at the second hoeing. Throughout tlie season the cotton pluuts grew well?the leaves were of a dark, healthy color, and no hust " was seen on the plantation. The ravages of the army worm prevented us from realizing tho benefit from our outlay for the Lime in full, still the large number ol partly grown bolls and forms gave some idea of what tho crop would have betii could they have matured. Al though we saved a large quantity of manure ou the place lust year, our confidence hi the value of your Phosphate led us to purchase of you last spring seventy tons, one-half of which we used ourselves, and the balance was bought for a friend, who was satisfied of its worth in cotton culture. At the time of writing this, our crop Is look ing finely, and promises an abundant yield. One portion of our plantation consists of highlands with a clay sub soil, running near the surface; the remainder is Mat and inclined to be sandy. The owner of the place tells us that he did net succeed with cotton on this last purt; but owing, as we think, to the liberal use of your Phosphate, we have now a good crop growing upon it. This is but the second season of cotton growing with us; still, from our experience thus far, we do not hesitate to recommend your Phosphate of Lime as a manure well adapted to the wants of the cotton planter." Newbeiiby, S. C, October, I860. FrofeAsor J. 3. Mapes? Dear Sir: I bought twenty bags of your Nltrogentzed Superphosphate of Lime, of your Agents, Messrs. H. k N. E. Solomon, Hamburg, S. C. (who solicited a stiuuicut of its effects), and applied it to forty acron of my poorest cotton land. This land is on the public road, where its effects were seen. My neighbors, ho are acquainted with the land, were astonished at the luxuriant growth of the cotton where I used your Superphosphate. It produced better cot ton, and a larger amount, than on my good laud ; less work was needed in making the cotton than on my other land. A'ot apartide of rust was to be seen where 1 applied your Superphosphate, while the rust prevailed over overy other portion of the crop. Respectfully yours, DAVID PAYNE. Note.?Mr. Payne's good land compares favorably with the best cotton lands on the Saluda River. The Saluda bottoms are proverbial for producing largo quantities of cotton. COTTON. Columbia, S. C, October 16,1859. Mr. J. J. Mapea? Dear Sir: In reply to yours of tlie 1st inst, I cheerfuUy state: I have used Mapes' Nitro genized Superphosphate of Lime on my cotton of the present year, and am perfectly satisfied with it? yield. I can recommend it to my neighbors with confidence, as a pure and effective manure, and would give (1 the preference to any other in the market. Yours, respectfully, TH08. DAVI8. Mr. Charles W. Mixon, of Edenton, Chowan County, N. C, writes to Mr. Bockover: In regard to Mapes' Phosphate it worked admirably for me, tho product being fully equal if not superior to both the manures before mentioned. It did not start the young plant as early as either the other manures; but it seemed to retain it? color and pods much better, ami no symptom of rust was ever seen where it was applied?all the land I planted in cotton being about the same quality and strength. CHARUES W. MIXON. Extract from a letter from Colonel Gideon Dowse, of Berzclla, near Augusta, Ga.. August, 18fl0: J. J.

Co?fi, and ae ten to one In the young fruit and forms, in favor of the Superphos phate. This opinion la formed from a close and critical examination by my overseer and myself. There is one result from its application, which, if it had nothing else to recommend it, is of incalculable value, and that is, it does seem to guard againsVthat worst enemy of the cotton plant, namely, the rust. I havo applied it to land that Invariably rusta cotton, and there la as yet not a sign of rust In it, while the same kind of land Just adjoining is completely ruined by it already. This experiment confirma that made by Mr. Lomas, of S. C, last year; "and I am fully persuaded that any plant manured with it does withstand a drought better and keeps green longer than with any other application that has come under my notice. I have seen cotton, corn, okra, melons and other garden plants, that have kept green during tho terrible drought that has so completely destroyed all our gardens, and my nutmeg melons are us green and blooming as beautifully as in spring. I havo written this as the result of my judgment from close observation. When I shall have gathered my crops it will give mo pleasure to give you the result from actual weight and measure. Yours, GIDEON D0W8E. Extract from Weekly Day-Book: I ? New Yohk, October 29, 1859. "We have, in the course of an extensive agricultural correspondence, gathered evidence of the superior value of Mapes' Nitrogenizod Superphosphate of Lime upon the cotton fields of the South, where Peruvian Guano had been used with partial success. The bolls have been heavier, and of greater number, the yield of cotton per acre, hns been larger, and what ia also of the greatest consequence, no rust is discovered In cotton fields where this article is applied, to which may be added its peculiar lasting power of fertilisation, and its comparative cheapness. These i facts havo come to us in correspondence from parties who have used other like agents, aud who give this by fur the highest praise. "Wo have arrived at the conclusion, after considerable experiment ourselves, and of careful search for the re sulta of the trials of others, that Mapes' Fertilizer has more of the property needed lu a general manure, in horticul ture and agricultura, than any thing else of the kind we are acquainted with."

S'ot a particle of rust was to 1 be Been where your Superphosphate waa used ; and I also applied stable manure on a portion of my land. Tlie cotton had the rust when the latter was used. The yield of cotton was splendid wlvjn the Superphosphate was used, despite tho extraordinary dry year. When I applied tho other manure the yl?ld was not good. I applied the Superphosphate at tha rate of 100 lbs. per aero, aud believe it would have paid better if I had put more per acre.
