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.
All have turned their hands to peaceful pursuits,
mid tho demoralization caused by the terrible
?irdeal of the past four years being obliterated,
society is being reorganized; tho sword has, truly,
liecn converted into the ploughshare; the future
is bright with promise, and all oyes aro bright
with anticipations of tho good timo coming.

MeRBi-fl. Fisher A Haakcll, Cotton Planters nt Newbem. N. C, write, July, 18f<5. as follows:
The Phosphate of Lime we purchuscd of you gives good satisfaction. 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. Mapes_Dear Sir: 1 have no hesitation in saying that on my own farm your Superphosphate has be?n,
_n_MJaU!!S^ ?A2___fi WL.?_- l-v? *PPuciU1_?a,nVy'_>p?_ion the onfy'?nie wkyloTest Vt^i? ??;,SS__
to one in the niU-bcFoi 'grow?? 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

, 3. 3. Mapes, Esq., Now York?Dear Sir: I bought four ton? of your Rupcrphosphatc of Lime for my cotton
; crop, also some guano, and have tried them side by side on the name quality of land. 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.
I sold my cotton in Hamburg yesterday at ? _. per pound over tho usual market price. The lint was consid
ered very strong aud heavy. I consider yours a reliable manure.
Your?, truly, JAMES M. LANHAM.
