Governor Stagratb^s fetter is a very curious document: . * GOVERXOR 3TAGHATH TO GOVERNOR VANCE. State of South Carolina, Executive Depabtji*t, Jan. 26, I860. Governor: At my return from Charleston Col. Mullins gave me your lelter. 1 am at once gratified and honored with your concurrence lit the suggestions I ventured to make to you. Confirmed in my purposes by vohr approval, I am preparing and will dispatch .without ctel&v to "the Governors ?ll'i Alabama, Mississippi and Florida sSiBjfor suggestions to those which were'addressed to you^-.and supported, as they"will be, by your endorsement, I have no doubt of speedily-securing that united and concerted action whicb I hope and believe will accomplish all that, we desire. At the earliest moment and in anticipation of responses from the Governors of the States I have named, I will prepare and submit to you the draft of such a paperas I think calculated fitly to express the opinions we have formed. I have written - to Governor Brown in aaSrnowledgment of his reply to me and' oIca Ao Hftn' A P Vkfoii'limic f/v frlir* t UiOV UiV UVUO JLUI* ^ fcV WUW latter addressing myself particularly to the consideration of the great danger of calling the people of Georgia into a convention, assuring him of my hope and belief that without incurring the great dangers involved in thecal! ibr a convention, all that we desire to . secure can beaccomplished without it, and most strongly urging hirn to use the authority of hils name and the influence of his position against that proposition. It is to me a proposition of incontestable correctness that the great sortrce. of the evils under which .^we labor Is to-be traced to the dependentposition which the State Governments have been content to assume in the progress of a war which, in its' large proportion, has called forth the of thosfi nowftrs whirh reserved to the States, but which Congress has attempted to use, and in that attempt the State Governments from patriotic, bat as events have shown not -wise, motives have acquiesed. StaHipg from principles directly an?r . tagonistic, the Government of the United States and the Government of the Qonfederate States have practically arrived in the matters of administration at the same result. In both the suggestions of convenience have been regarded as the sanction sufficient for any conduct they might adopt. And . v ithe.;most ill-omened cry throughout the Confederacy is the one so frequently heard, that the force of the law is suspended, and the pressure of the war lias "borne down the authority of the Constitution. In the United States sucu a-priisuipte uanauuizeu wim tne political dogmas there professed. In the Confederate States it w;? in violent opposition to the tenet*-for the vindication of which those States seceded. The arbitrary course of the former "CcOiverDment was, therefore, the natural consequence of Its doctrines, while, such a course in our Government was v utterly inconsistent with ils purposes or its'powers. We nave therefore presented, in the .whole pfpgressof the war, the standing contradiction of States united in a league for the support of their sepa rafce independence called on. to ignore, ifnot abjure, that independence; a compact of carefully guarded powers expanding into a Government without limitation or responsibility. Guarantees for the liberty of person and protection of property, not only not respected, but so recklessly invaded that the retention of such prerogatives now seem -rather a mockerv tiian a guarantee. -Whenever there lias been an invasion" of those guarantees of personal liberty and property tiie citizen was paralyzed by the acquiescence :^v of'his State, in the assnniption by the common Government of its prerogative, and if the State did manifest a purpose io assert its dignity and its rights, the cry that the arm of the k common Government would be thereby paralyzed forced it to abandon its purpose and trust to the hope that a . speedy termination of tl?e war would terminate the forced and unnatural, I will not-say undignified, condition in which it had been placed. As might have been expected, the exercise of powers which were never intended to I>e,conferred upon the. common Government has necessarily called forth an equally unauthorized administration of I ^$m.; Sapressinent, for the sake of . | illustration, has supplied the place of contract.. The oi-der of a bureau accomplishes w^iat Congress itself would not venture tojio. The functions of a | judge are lran?ferred to soidg military ! officer, and the coarse , of justice is j closed by. the denial to a magistrate of. the power to inqitire into the cause of a commitment: Arrests are made by order, detention is secured by command, and a power more^igantic than any crowned head in Europe would J exercise is presented to us as the means by which we are to ensure success in a struggle to establish a free j Government. ~ . \ It is thus that we have dried up.ihe j. openings from which new courage and j fresh impulse conld have been given fn nnr r\&r\T\}e in thvc nrntrnrfcpr? MMltast VV VMI fWt/,V . in which they have been engaged. We 11 taught them to know their States as j their country, and in the defense of, t that country we have blotted out And. \ c hidden from their view those States :: which are that country. Unhappily 4 t for us, the lapse of time, whicli.has c but served to multiply the eases in a which the State Governments have i acquiesced in this wide departure froap ' ( the standards of right and justice* have j also so much increased the dangers of j t defeat and so much intensified the' ? desire for repose that it will, require ] i something of firmness to sustain.the 'j State Government in its proper posi-j1 tion. But if there is difficulty, aud . ( however great that difficulty, it is to j be more than counterbalanced by the c plain, troth that it is only by restoring | c the State Governments to their proper r i condition that oar success in thisjvar t can be aeenred. Unless military .sue-; \ cesses shall give to it new life the's eredit of the Confederate Government t is gone; with the loss of its credit, its < resources of course are also gone.t Fortunately-, the credit of the-State is i maintained. The question is, there- 1 fore, looming up.directly before us.1 c Shall the Confederate Government ad- i minister our credit as it has our sup- . pDfes and warlike appliances which, we j have given to it? I may well suppose ; that to this proposition "there will be ; butone answer: if so, it will furnish! < the occasion, and that^ according to all j i probability, not far distant, when.we ; i must understand better than we have 11 done the relations of the State to the I common Government at Richmond. If i I look forward to this .or any other i circumstance which is likely to bring i us back to our true position, it is be- i i cause in that position alone can I find i assurance of our certain success. We! 1 . will "have men enough to make an ' i army able to win our deliverance; we 1 i still have resources sufficient to carry j i us safely through all our difficulties.; ( .Bnt we havono more men. to lose; we ] have now no resources to waste; the I States, as States, are to fight out this .< bloody war. They are the realities of < this grand drama; all else is but the 1 appendage. f It is: ibe:political condition of.^ach ] State which is to be won or lost, it is ] the life, liberty and property of the s citizens of each of those States which j are staked upon the issue of the contest. If we save these we have the common Government those States have framed. And those States are held together, not because they have so written and signed, but because they recognize in all of theic relations the evidence of a common destiny. Let us not forget in dealing with this great war that we find our strength in;: the comprehension of tho fireat principles of human couduct and actiou. I .have been led away by the considerations which press upon me further, I -fear, than your patience will allow, and.will -only 5eiav you until I assure you of the respect "of your obedient servant, - , - - A. G. Magrath. Gov. Z. B. VjjfCE, Raleigh, N. C. A Talk With Governor Sfagratli. Judge Magrath, the author of the letter to Governor Vance, is living in Charleston. He has iiot taken an ac tive part in politics since the war. A reporter for the News and Courier mIM nn him -nnrl nsbpd him if Tip could be "interviewed" in regard to c the article published in the New York ! Herald. JudgeMagrathsaid: "Why, 1 1 am not in politics now, and you are , digging np a political corpse."- When J told that the Herald had invaded the cemetery in this instance and that the J News and Courier wished to give his side of the story, Judge Magrath said: "The truth of the. matter is just this: ( You have bronght the letter to my attention and I hive read it. It;fully'. expressed the sentiments and opinions , that I entertained at the time it was i written. Under the like circumstances at this day I would entertain and ex-, press the "same opinions. The idea j that I ever intended to express an ^ opinion that the relation of a county to a State was at all like that of a State ; in its sovereign capacity either to the * Confederate Government or the Gov- ( erument of the United States, was one that only could be entertained by him who had no conception of what was I the relation of a State to a General ] ! Government under a written Consti- ( | tation, which declares that every pow- t er not granted Dy mat uonsutntion to ? the General Government was a right , reserved by the State to itself in its * sovereign capacity; that the Constitn- \ tion was a limitation upon the powers , of the General Government, and, only t so far as those powers were expressly j .gr&nteci, did it give power to the Gen- f erai Government. These were doc- j trines entertained by the people of this State at the time of "its secession. They. t I were fundamental and had come down j to us firom the creation of the Govern- f ment. ? /tlx J? Xt XI- 1 jl was ioi iae puryvsc, amuujf ota er things, of maintaining the rights of a State that the State of Sooth Carolina and other seceding States resolved upon a separation of the Union, be- r cause in the continaance of that Union ? they believed that these rights were f being imperilled by the constant en- i croachments made npon them- The r same conviction of the necessity that T existed to preserve these rights at the j time of the secession of the State con- j tinned to exist in foil force after the a State had seceded, and the rights of ^ the State, as a sovereign Stata; were c matters to me of paramount considera- c tion after the State seceded and da'riu^ r the war quite as much as they had t been before the State seceded. I had ? not for one moment entertained the Y idea that the State had surrendered its T rights as a sovereign State because .it 2 had seceded from the Union with all r the other States. t "The critic in the Herald falls into a p misconception. I never meant, and it ? could not have been understood by any one that I did mean, that the eleven seceding States, each fighting indepcnA .J.. .fiL. 1 .J ' xl*. uciiliv ui i:ic uuiw, wuiu t?rrj,wu tut; j war successfully. Bat I did mean that j in order to secure the fall and volunta- t ry contribution of .the men and the t! money of these States to their utmost a capacity, it was necessary that tlie peo- v pie of the different States should feel I that they were contributed by the t States, eachJbeing secured-in the full I enjoyment of its rights to that end, be- t! cause of the danger to which they had 1 seceded from the United States.'" I be- a lieved that the people in each State t] should continue to feel as they felt v when they had seceded?that" they v were the citizens of a sovereign State, and that to support that State as such they would freely surrender all their 1 resources whether of men orot money, c And I did not believe that there was tl such a. thing possible as coercing the r nonnlo nf ft Stflfo fft jni'rondop oram?. it thing: that they had under the gnise of a enabling them to be free, I did not c' ; ' " -rrrr m , hiuk that mere coercion wonhl give hat support for the successful issue of he contest that was to be found in the ree will of the people in whose behalf he war was being waged. "Any such idea that any other pur>ose was intended than to cement more :losely and firmly the resources and he destinies of the seceding States to he end of a successful issue in the conest, would be a curious misundertandingof me in the position I occu>ied. "The immediate occasion of coinnunicating with the several Governors vas oeoansc 1 was satisnea mat wjc i emper of the people should be pre- i ierved jnst as it was when the war was :ommenced, and for that purpose that lie causes, which I had supposed were o a certain extent affecting that tem>er, should be removed. It was for he purpose of combining the opinions >f these Governors as to the proper node to be adopted in having objecionablc matters relieved, that their >pijiious and co-operation was asked? Lsked not for the purpose of weakenng the adhesion of the Slates to the Confederate Government, but for the purpose of making their bond of union mder the Confederate Government as itrong as it could possibly be made by initiilg their affections for their States, md their interests as citizens, with lnlimited confidence iu the General Government of the Confederate States. "I do not and did not at any time loestion the honesty of the purposes >f MrJ Davis and those who were near linvbnt I thought they were making, xr 'ailowing to be made, weaker and weaker, the sources from which strength conld be drived to continue :hc war, and that remonstrance to that iffect would be heeded when made by hose who were as earnest as any men ? iL. - J?

The Christian Index, the leading )rgan of the Baptist Church in the South, published in Atlanta, Ga., in its ssue of December 4,1SS4, has the folowing editorial: Too many people seem to think that i religious newspaper should be conincd to the discussion of moral and religious-subjects only, forgetting that religion has to do both with the bodies uid souls of men. "Prove all things, aold fast that which is gooil," has as nuch to do with the practical side of ife as it has with the moral side. Our readers will bear testimony that in all juestions discussed m the Index, the practical has been duly set forth. In :his paragraph, therefore, we only seek to present an article worthy of x>mraenaanon. .aiter suDjecung n 10 ihe above test we have tried bwift's Specific and found it good?good *as a ijlood purifier, good as a health Ionic, [n this opinion we are sustained by some of the best men in the church.

Its effects are wonderful, and I consider them almost miraculous. There is no medicine comparable to it." Dr. H. [). Hornady, one of the best known ministers in our church, says: "Swift's Specific is one of the best blood purifiers in existence." These brethren speak advisedly Bnt few preparations can bring forward such endorsements. The Index desires only to endorse these statements. We have witnessed tie beneficial effects of this medicine, not only in >ur own households, bat in several Jther cases where seemingly all other remedies bad failed.

The force of the ' shock was tremendous and was felt at 1 a great distance, and the damage done was very great. Another explosion 1 occurred at 2 o'clock this afternoon at : the London Tower. The excitement ' increases with every moment and the j city is filled with flying rumors. There < were two explosions instead of one as < at fir?t supposed at the Parliament Houses.

The second explosion in the Parliament buildings :* occurred three minutes later than the ' first, and was far more destructive, i The dynamite which caused the second 1 explosion must have been placed under < the Peer's gallery 011 the left side. The fact that an uuns'ual number, of ladies visited the Parliament buildings to-day has given rise to the suspicion 1 that the miscreants who perpetrated the outrages were cither women1 or men in women's disguise. It is now admitted by the attendants about the buildings that parcels were carried by many of the women, and that they seemed to bestow unusual care in guarding them. ' .

' i"" "r 11> A BIDE Di A PRAIRIE-GALE. : Scenes in Iowa as Pictured by the Famous Owner of "Them Steers." .. .: ; At Charles City I missed railroad connection and had to drive across the country to Cresco, fifty miles, and it was the first cold day of the season. The wind came with a sweep across the prairies, and when it struck, shared like a razor. ' The tree-tops of the groves planted around the farm-houses broke or bent like whip-sticks, and tVio nnrrrrc tom fmm oumr^iiniw MAAV the ground. The driver got out and put in rocks to hold the machine down to the earth. We did n ot want to make the trip to Cresco through the..air. It was lucky that we strucK a stretch of country where there were bowlders, j The road for the first ten miles was oh j the section lines, and the settlers were j Irish and Norwegians. They had large farms and large stocks of cattle and hogs, and plenty of corn and haystacks. We stopped at a farm-house to warm. The proprietor was an Irishman. He said when he lived in the old country he did not taste meat once a month. Now he sold cattle and hogs, by the car load. He came to this country < thirty . years ago, a steerage'passeng"er.:oh, an emigrant ship. He went back to": Ireland last year on a visit. He went on 3. sleeping-car to New Xork and jacrosfc the sea a cabin passenger on -an ocean steamer. He found the jjld country just as he left it. There had not :been $15 spent for improvements in the little town in which he was raised since' .he left it . He had changed so much he was homesick as a dog. He hadgrown up with the United States and was so : changed himself that the old country had no attractions for him. He had three horse teams plowing?one following after the other; and a hundred acres of corn that wonld ''make1' sixty : bushels to the acre- His "shanty" was a two-story white house with green blinds. When he returned to the land of his birth he found no attractions. because he had changed, become Amerian/1 4-Ko nW nnnntru TioiT Tinf WUliX^U, OiUU UUV ViU J MVchanged. The wind blew a gale and sometimes, spit snow until we reached the "Wapsys." The horses kept a dog-trot. up hill and .down, and ade about seven miles an hour, in spite of the Wind. The "Wapsys" ^re the forks ofa iiverr and sheltered by timber. The WOQds are full of hogs and cattle; they.jbad taken to the timber to get out of the wind. The road in the "Wapsy" country was crooked and steep, washed out and wound around among the trees.. At 10 o'clock the last fork of the "Wapsy" was crossed. Before rising up to the open prairie the driver took more rocks from- the creek to ballast the buggy. The road took a bee-line for Busti. We had not gone far before we met a Norwegian with ' his load .of boards all blown-away. The boards lay. scattered over the-.prairie to* the windward, a distance of forty or fifty rods. The town of Busti consists of a, hotel, a store, and a blacksmith-shop, and is half-way between-Charles City andCresco. ;The landlady fried side bacon, cooked eggs, and made the best dish of tea I have seen since, I have" leftChase's mills. A railroad had, been: surveyed from La CrOsse 'to Charles (Jity, bytneway.oi jjusei. " When the country is all settled-theroads run on the section line that is due . north and south or east and west, and there is no direct road between business centers. When, . the. land :1s "laying out,11 the roads run "angling", to" the section lines. The "angling" roads . run on the divides and are more direefc. than the roads on the section tines! From Busti yje . took -the tangling** road. The settles were few and far between. ' Thousands of acres of as fertile land as the sun ever shone , upon, lay as left by the hand : of' nature.Large flocks.-jof prairie. chickens ..new ud ahead of the horses like scared par^1 tridges. . As'the sun wentsdo'wn?tbeP wind went down." -The driver begaiLto throw overboard ballastnand-we arrived atCresco at 6 p.-m.via the midst. of a dead calm, without a rock in the buggy. ?Solon Chase in Lewiston JoiinutL - ?; STEPPERS, C Not Fast Horses, But Girls Who Clesa : ..Steps.

The steppers of whose haunts and customs we here propose; to ^ve SdHie account are door-step cleaners?known among themselves and theirown-clask as steppers, and to their dnployera and others cognizant of their existence as" steptgiris. They, are _a. hflngfrle- folk, belonging to what it; has become to speak "of as the "outcast" passes.t Though it is; their misfortune and not' their fault ihatrsuch: is the case, they, are coarse and vulgar,, while, their occupation touches about the lowest poiiit of the, commonplace and drudgical-. The steppers, as a body, range from. 13, to 18 years, of ^ase, and they are of nee- ' ! essity robust ^giris, for only those who I are strong caa stand the work" for any length of time.. ( The pcrsuifc-of their calling involves, being out in therslreets 5n ;a?L weather for hours at.a stretd^.^hile,the actual work is, perhaps, the most trykiff' m I the whole range of household labor. Throughout the winter - months the hands and arms, of the steppers a?e " [ chapped from finger^nds to the elbowsf and during the same period." their .baring colds is more the;rule than the exception, so that m every way ^eir. money.is:hardly.earned; .With; regard L m IlillllUKLa, Hi UiVU SKiSLUXlJ, UC7KUU of the steppers that they have "none at "all, but those they have aire: per- * I taiflly v more pronouneied"- than desir-,' I; able. ^i^:pe<^le5rordd be" disposed I to esteem robust as: to jmjld a word j whereby to characterize steppers,' and { it must-be confessed that their- [ . decidedly masculine. They: assume jl . manly gait and bearing,. , address eacn " other as "mate," and by wayof; friendly greeting exchange . not good-day, " but "What cheer?'1 They are habitu- . ally slangy in their discourse, and are , not altogether guiltless, of the. use of . the big, Dig D. They may be ^sje^.un.- i abashedly performing breakdown dances in the streets, partially* .on1- the plea of keeping themselves wann?, but more for the love of the thing; fromr , fancying themselves steppers in .&? . dancing sense of the word. Though there are those among-them- ; who can and do whistle, it can scarcely i be said of them, as a body, that they > whistle as they go for want ofthou<jht,~ but they do frequently enliven '.their r way by trolling out snatches oJ( the^pop- : ular music-hall songs of the day;. :As a * trade the steppers, although not for- ; mally organized, are,. in - practice, .strongly unionist. Should a ? "labor " dispute" run very high ampng them, they arc wont to resort to ordeal by;. battle against those whom. they hold to be "knob-sticks," and certainly it is I not a pretty spectacle to see two girls " ?even step-girls?toss off their hats f and jackets and "go" for each other in'll pugilistic fashion. This, however, though not an unknown occurrence in steppers' circles, is a comparatively rare one, as they generally manage to jettle their differences by means of a . slanging match. In short, the steppers. are of the streets streety- It . would be unfeeling to say that this is as it should be, or not wish it; were otherwise.* Still, , under all the circumstances of the case, it.is only whatmight natural: beex-. ] pected, -and, with the exception of the. disposition to fisticuffs,..thereis, after all, nothing in the manners of the steppers that need greatly shock: any,- save the hypercritical or ultra-genteeL?.4#. , the.
