"For some time a most bitter personal controvesy has been going on Sn the public journals of Georgia bo jtweon two of the most prominent of Ala statesmen, Hon. A. H. Stephens ,3ind Hon. B. II. Hill, which originated - ?n some statements of the address of Mr. Hill before the Southern Historical Society, which 31 r. Stephens regarded as .reflecting upon himself. ?and denounced as base and slanderous /fabrications. Mr. -Hill replied in terms equally bitter, and now in a ^recent paper purporting to give the unwritten history of the Hampton rxr\\> P,\y*n,r\ nn ]\n Wl? t Al'nt OQ Ills. ,aVJilUO WlllUlkllVk, 11V ivivviuvvu .... charges against Mr. Stephens of disloyalty to the Confederacy, by showing that lie gave aid and comfort to treasonable movements in Georgia which rendered futile all the good (results which might otherwise have Ibecn brought about by that confer,?cnco. Jilr. Dill was not a member of 4he Commission, but was familiar . with all the circumstances which led to its appointment, and d etails these jit length, as well as the reasons wuieii induced.the selection of Mr. Stephens as tho head of -the CottNnission, and ,;makcs vvery -serious oharges-against .Jijm of d.upMcty and bad faith in his jiegotiaiionSfWith the Georgia-delegation, and with favoring a movement which had for its object the withdrawal of Georgia from the ConfVdrCraey, and the conclusion by her of a .ecparato peace with tho Federal ?Government. To these damaging charges fir. otepiicns nas as yei mado no reply, and the public wijj hold their judgments in abeyance *until both arc heard. ilr. Hill says: Paring the month of Docember, the whispers of a counter retolution, at first faint and then a full year old, were getting louder. Sovc- < ral States, it was said, were to unite i .in calling a convention of all the 1 Confederate States, ostensibly to j amend the Constitution and get rid -of Mr. Davis as commander-in-chief ! ^ ^ o ? > A A mATTAn^on^ {AV 'VI Liiu ill my ? uiiu it. ?mvvvuivuv ivi " . peace by negotiation through separate potato action, was publfoly advocated ! ;by many in State and Confederate '--positions. Whatever might -have been tho motives of such movements (and 1 am not now dealing with their motives), every reflecting man was '..obliged to know tbo only possible . cffects must bo disintegration and ' subjugation. And wo knew these .effects were already going on, not i only from Mr Lincoln's message, but ' tfrom a much more convincingquarter ' ?ourarmy. It was during the month ' .of January, 1SG5, that General Lee t ' -comnlained before a committee of! i Congress (of which committee I was . .one) that lie was losing more from his army by desertion than by the 1 '.guns of tho enemy. He thought the ** discussions against .the constitution- i ' -ality of Confederate military hews, and tho clamor for poace through c separate Stato action, contributed { imuch to this result. Deserters had ^ been arrested with argivmon-ts, on .theso subjects, from leading men in c .some of the States, in their pockets.. It # * Air. Hill statoe that the Georgia :v (delegation wore especially embarrass-!y ,cd by tho announcement of rcsolu-|( .tions passed at various public meet- j nngs at home, calling upon Governor y Brown to convene the Legislature i ^ .and by tho pre%*ailing belief that the ^ Legislature would bo called together, .and tho meeting of a convention re- ^ commended, and that tho Yice-FresK dent favored the movemont. They 1 thereupon met at Mr, Stephens'room, l .and after conference unanimously rc-j i quested the latter to writo to ov. j iT Brown, and urge him not to convone c the Legislature. This Mr. Stephens' promised to do, if the delegation would ftid hi-m in procuring the appointment of Commissioners to go to 5 Washington, and on behalf of their Confederacy propose peace, but if the !( 'offer should be rejected, then to unite s in an effort to fire the Southoru heart 'r and to renow^hc strflggle. i Air. Hill farther states that ho im-jf mediately had an interview with is President Davis, and induced him to j grant three requests: To furnish i passpoi ts if appointed by Congress , c - : ? __ . I | to sclcct Mr. Stephens as the head of; the Commission, if the appointments rested with himself"; that lie would appoint associates agreeable to Mr.; Stf*f>hens, and not trammel the Commission with instructions! You ask a gret deal, said Mr. Davis,! smiling. Appoint an enemy of thej Administration at the head of a com-; mission to make peace with the enemy, allow him to choose his own I colleagues, and then give them (lis-! cretionary powers! I said f wasj aware I was asking n great deal, and i my requests were only suggestions to | Ijo weighed by mm?thai the disease j we were seeking to -care whs great and growing, afkl needed a "hold remedy, and I believed there was no way to cure, and stop the demoralization caused hy this negotiation cla-mor, hut hy making the negotiation doctors take their own medicines, mixed to suit themselves: and that Mr. Stephens was under pledge, if the coinmission failed, lo unite with us to rally the people lo arms, aim nniKu u harmonious fight for independence. Mr. l>avis said he had entire confidence in Judge Campcll, Senator Graham, and all the gentlemen named, but he vwld prefer lo have one "straight jacket" on the commission. There was *o better or truer man than Mr. Hunter, and there was no j;ood reason why Mr. Stephens should object to Mr. Hunter. I agreed that the objection to Mr. Ilunter was not reasonable, lie was President pro tern of the Senate, but 'the Senate conld casilj* remedy tin's. I did not believe a better nvnn, -every way, could be selected, -and there was certainly no good reason why he should not be one of tho number. Then followed the two visits of 3Ir. Blair to Richmond, who, though he disclaimed any authority to bind Mr. Lincoln or the United States Government, made such statements as.jus'titicd the hope of obtaining peacc on ; honorable terms. Ai this critical : juncture, and most inopportunely, I came tho proclamation of Governor i Brown convening the Legislature, , nnd t.hfi Announcement of orcat de ' " " " o mornlization in Georgia, to render , /utile all efforts at negotiation- A ( peace commission, consisting of ] Messrs. Stephens, Campbell and Hunter, wero appointed, but from the first it was apparent that they could [ accomplish nothing. They were not ; ii I lowed to go to Washington, but 1 stopped at Hampton .Roads, and saw ' only Mr. Lincoln ami Atr. Seward. < A sudden change seemed to come over the spirit of the enemy, doubtless in a large measure owing to the J separate Statc.action in Georgia, lead- 1 ing to divisions, desertions.and disin- ' tegration .generally, , Mr. Hill concluded;: ( I have recently learned tifrat Gov- , crricr Drown never rcccived the letter which Mr. -Stephens promised the Georgia delegation .he would write, ' and tlmt if lie hid received ii he ] would have respected the wishes of , the delegation and not have convened the Legislature. -Great .anxiety was felt in .Richmond,vtmd e.<ipcciully with ] tho Georgians,,aa to "the courso Mr. , Stephens would pursue on 4iis return, if the commission failed. His,pledge was iti the resolutions which the delegation hadaareed to. drawn b.v him rj o * -V self. I was not in Richmond when ho returned. I am iuformed lie was appealed to by Georgians, in and out of the delegation, to .ioin Mr. Davis ^ O ' v at tho African church in an olfort to rally the peoplo and fircthc Southern heart anew. I believe he declinedto do so and eamo home. The important faets of the Confederate Civil Government, and tho reasons for them, transpired .in the -secret coun-, oils of the President and Cabinet and .in-tho sccrct -sessions.of the Congress. Those who banished themselves from both during tho most important periods of the struggle are not fit to writo ConfedcrAtc history.
