Vice President Stephens on the Pro- '1 duce Loan. -1 As the people are called on to consider and t upon the produce loan promptly, we know j >f nothing better to offer our readers at this moment than the late remarks on that sub- c ect by Hon. ALEXANDETR STEPH ENS, of Geor- d ria. They merit the careful attention of I every reader. We quote from the Charleston ti 3lercurf s report of the speech. t After discussing generally our cance. Mr. ! ?TEPI'ENs proceeds: " Upon a reasonable and ordinary estimate, we grow four milions of hales of cotton. I tm here to-day-to discuss before you the fify U million loan, but I am frank to tell you, it may be one hundred millions, and I think it probably will be. The proposition that the d overnment makes, is not to tax the people. v The object of a wise and good Government a is to make the burtiens fall as light upon the " people as possible, to meet every exigency. The proposition the Government makes, there fre, is to take a loan in produce. In the a grain-growing sections the members of Con- u gress solicit the loan in grain, army subsis- I tence, taat, corn, wheat. anid flour. We are d not a grain growing country. Our supply is t cotton. 1 address you, therefore. solely on s the- subject of cotton. The object is to get e along with as little tax as possible; but, ny :ountrynen, do not suppose the Government a will not tax ;o, if necessary, for I tell you 1 the Government does not inttid to be subju gated, and if we do not raise the mnanr-y by1 loans, if the people do not contribute, I tell you we intend to have the money, and taxa- I Lion g;ill be re.orted in if nothing else will J raise it. Every life and doilar in the country wil ba demanded rather than you and every I one of us shall he nverrun by the enemy. (Applaus~e.] On that you may count. The Government, while it desires to carry on the I war, establish your indt'pendence, and main Hain the Government, at the samne time wishes a to do it in such a way as not to cripple indus try ; and while our men art in the field tight ing the h attue" of th-ir country, their bre'th ren at homeana are di=.charzia:;" an equal duty. t s that no serious detriment to public proaper ty will be sustained, and we have the element to do this that no other people in the world have. 1' Now thena, if four millions of hales of cot ton art madl, rpon an avarage pri*e they will C bring two atadred millions of dollars.

Instead of your putting your irplus in lands, negroes, houses, fujt.tre, c seless extravagance or luxuries, just put it d Confederate Bonds. But while I said it was not intended to cir- .1 elate or to pay debts, I have not the least r oubt that anybody who vill sell his crop en- C re for bonds, will find no diiculty in get- r ng the money fur them, for they draw in- r rest, and arc better than money; and ainy F ian holding a note will give it up and take a y ond, for a note draws but seven per cent., ( ud this draws eight. I have no doubt that c 11 minors and trust property will soon be v ivosted in it. The entire amount of private t inds in the State of Georgia on private t >ans, 1 suppose, is ten or twenty millions of a oliars at seven per cent. All that amount rill immediately find its way into these botids, 1I nd hence a planter who sells his entire crop, t nd needs money, can get it from the money nders on these bonds. I have been frequently asked if these bonds rere good. Well, I want to be equally frank pon that point. If we succeed, if we estab sh our independence, if we are not overrid en, if as are not subjugated, I feel no besi Iney in telling you it is the best Government e tock in the world that I know of. It is ight per cent. interest ; and if we succeed in, C short time, in a few years, if not more than ne hundred millions, or two hundred mil- . onQ are issued. I have but little doubt th'y rill conmmand a considerable premium. The 1d1 United States stock (six p..r cent. bonds.) s ve year. ago commanded fifteen and sixteen i per c:., and went as high as twenty pe: cent. t ake the Central Railroad. The stock of t hat company con inands fitieen per cent.. t remi::tn nu.-.

These people are ow warring against that principle, and at- 1 empting to govern us just as King George tid ; it is, therefore, an unnatucral and irra-- ~ a. $ a suicidal war antd you canot d onnt upon its duration. When a people he omes mad there is no telling what they will o. It is so in the history of other empires; was so in France. They say we are.revo itionists; they call us rebels. 1 think it ill be a revolution before it is over; but if a bange of Government makes revolution, the !volution is at the North. At the South our iovements from the beginning have been lanted upon the principles, as I have told ou, of our revolutionary fathers, apd the onfederates States to-day have' rescijed the onstitution, with some changes, all of which re think improvements. They stand to day be defenders, supporters and maintainers of bat constitution, which was the admiration nd devotion, of us all. But a change of oyernment has taken place at the North. rsGonstitution of our fathers has already een ii'ttrpled in the dust. From the time kr.. Lincol~ni Went into his office until to-day, has beembitt one step alter another, one tride afteranother upon the Constitution of be cotdp'try. The first thing be did jeras to all out seventy-five thousand militia:; He ad no. piwer to do it. That Constitution, bat Madison and Washington, and the patri ts of the South as well as the North gave beir consent to-that Constitution that was utrAdmirrtion-that Constitution the Sputh rn states have rescued, declares that Con ress alone shall raise armies. His next act ,ato increase the army to twenty-five thou and men. This he did by an edict. ThefVon titution says Congress shall increase the-ir nv. After thatihe increased the -nay to weity-five thousand. Louis Napolcon ,or he Czar of Russia never a.sumed mor die atorial power. The North responded 'o it. 'hat Constitution that hail my admiration and many of yon doubtless have hear8 me pon it, for if there was anything upon iAilch uv whole soul re.,ted, and for which I would ave devoted life~ nnd everything dear,i he Constitution of my country,) that C sti ntion that the Montgomery Governmen .has esened declares that no man shall h de >rived of his life, liberty r.r property but by lue process of law. That was lite old Constitution. It iitjthe. .ostitution we rescued. The Constitgion he Confederate States pre'ents to all people, igh or low, is the sirc:y to defend tblen applause:l but, fellow citizens.

The other States-let all send up men to drive the enemy out: and, to the cotton planters I would say, come up with ! the cotton to-day. I do not want to embar rass any one, but I would say to you, tell your debtors to wait until you are out of dan ger. [Applause.] When men come to you crying "debt I debt! debt I" tell them, as Patrick Henry did, when they cried " beef ! beef ! beef I" Let your debts wait, let all the machinery of society stand still until inde pendence is secured. I would say, just as if my house were on fire, " all hands to the bucketsq, let the flames be extinguished." Let the courts and everything else stand still, except to administer justice ; let us all patriot ically wait: let us all put our shoulders to the work, and act together, with a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together. That is the way to drive out the enemy ; and it will be successful. They rely upon numbers, and they have got them;. but I have told you the battle is not to the strong. We rely upon the righteousness and the justice of our cause, and also the valor of our men, though they bring two to one, three to one, five to one, or ten to one, as was done in Greece. We rely upon the valor of our men-we rely upon our men fighting for their homes, fresides, chil dren and everything dear to them ; and, in such a cause. we have no douht the God of Battles wil!

RICHton , July 24.-An intelligent and -eliable gentleman from South Carolina, who was on the battle.field, and held a proninont position there, says that South Carolina had seven regiments in the battle, neluding Hampton's Legion. The 2d Regiment, Col. Kershaw's, was in ,he hottest of the fight. This Regiment and the 8th, Col. Cash, were in a brigade to gether. Col. Sloan's 4th Regiment was the first to engage the enemy. It-was stationed three miles to the left of the other South Carolina regiments, and with the Louisiana troops saf Fered considerably, Adjutant S. M. Wilkes, of the 4th Regi. mnent, Lieut. C. E. Earle, of the Patnetto Riflemen, and other officers are killed. Capt. G. P. Poole is severely, and perhaps mortally, wounded. Capt. B. F. W. Kilpatrick Is also wounded, it is feared severely. About a dozen officers and a number of privates in this regi ment were killed, but no other names than the above have yet been reported. Col. Willians' 3d Regiment and Vol. RaT con's 7th, with Col. Kirkland's North Caro lina and Col. Kelley's Louisiana regiments, constituted the centre of the general line, and held Mitcholl'a Ford, on the direct line from Fairfax Court House to Manasses. These regiments were under cannonade from snn rise until near sun-set, but being entrenched, they suffered hut little. Just before sun-set, and when the right wing of the enemy gave way, they were or iered to charge the batteries in front of them, which order they e.ecuted in gallant style, led by Gen. Bonham. When the charge was made, the enemy promptly retired, and the lss of these regiments was consequently ;mail. They pursued the enemy to Centre Ville, and took $900,000 worth of Federal i. -.-'- 1 a r .-lipme that none in these particnlairs of the kilh'i snl wn'dIrled a:e not vet at:ertaitwe!.

They answered immediately, "We ill, to a man." They captured eight pieces (Sherman's bat *ry.) Col. Kershaw took a United States against odds of two to one," was the reply. " And how went the day ?" was immediately ejaculated. "The enemy were beaten and put to flight," was the response. " Thank God !" said the father; " then I am satisfied -I give up my boy." This touching incident we commend to every heart that has been bereaved in this terrible but righteous war. Let them take the example of this patriotic father to heart. They love their sons and brother4 no more than he-and while humanity must feel, the promptness of natural affection must be obeyed, let them banish all excess of grief in the cheering reflection that their beloved ones have nobly perished in defence of their country, of truth, of justice, and of right. They are precious offerings and Heaven will pour out the incense of its blessings upon the altar whereon they are laid. Forewarned is to be Forearmed. The following, from the New York Herald of the 11th, will take no one by surprise in this section. We need not give our reasons for not alluding to the matter before, and for suppressing communications on the subject of our coast defences. We will only add, by way of comment, let our government look to it. Forewarned forearmed: PaoPosEn EXPFnITIoN TO SorTH CAOnLI .n.-Late in the fall, when the warm weath er moderates and the region becomes healthy for Northern troops, South Carolina must he invaded, unlass the rebels previously submit and lay down their arms. .And the invasion. must not be by CharlMton, wh-h would in volve too great a sacrifice of life, hut a far better port, seventy-five miles further South, though not so well known. We refer to Port Royal harbor, which is fifty miles from Str.an nah. It is a safe and commodious port, and the shallowest part of the channel to it has asout twenty feet of water. Beaufort lies up the Port Royal'river, sixteen miles from the sea, and is situated on the Island of Port Roy. al. From Beanfort to Charleston there is in land water communication, by the inlets, for vessels drawing eight or nine feet. This was originally the chief port of Sout h Carolina, but it was superseded by Charle - ton on account of the latter having superior water communication to the Interior b they Ashley and Cooper-rivers. The railroad, how ever, is a more rapid mode of tra;" ubea , .. anounds with slaves-in fart, t;:. Are far more numerous there than the whit. 13y landing a force of twenty thousandir-. at Port Royal, the whole State could ha rt duced, and Charleston city could be taken in the rear and captured. as it was once before by the British. The slave property of Sou'l' Carolina would thus be ruined. So let ti.e ehivalry of that State avert the threatened blow by making peace at ounce with the Fed eral power. A tLouUiunicatiun being thus opened into the very heart of' the Southiem States, r'einforcementa could be forwarded, and a strong column could form a junction with the Federal column advancinig froma the South-west, and thus, dividing the South itnto equal haives, and turning back upon North Carolina and Virginia, they would sweep the rebels as with a net into the very .iaws ofthe army~ ou the banks of the Potomnac. If the rebels rihouldl not sujrrender befobre the fall. it ia highly proh,.ble that the programme will1-.e ea--ried out, and then woe to the vun-piishe&. correspiondent of~ the New York Spirit of the~ Vinmes, writing from Copperas Preeinct, I!!i n'ois. gives the following .s among the -' rich one,," whieb his researches fronm nnong the. legal records~ hatve blrouJght to light.

The following, from the Petersburg Express, is more minute than any we have seen: MANASSAS, July 22, p. m.-The enemy opened their batteries at McLean Ford, on Bull Run, at 8 o'clock, a. m., with heavy guna and rifled cannon. Several small field pleoes were used, these being intended as a mere feint, for the pur pose of drawing our fire. Our generals, see ing through the ruse, did not respond. The enemy chose their own position a few miles above Stone Bridge, on Bull Run, where the principal part of the battle was fought. The enemy's attempt being to turn, if pos sible, our left flank, the battle raged for fuur hours at that point. The fire on both aides was appalling. ?lien on both sides never fought better. The enemy having largely the advantage in numbers and artillery, between three and four o'clock, our brave men began to waver, and the result actially hung in the balance, when Generals Beauregard and Johnson he. roically threw themselves into the thickest of the fight. Gen. Beauregard crowned himself with glory. Iieut. Col. Johnson, of Hampton's (S. C.) Legion, being killed, and Col. Hamp ton himself severely wounded, Gen. Beaure gard led the Legion into action in his usual gallant style. He had his borae's head shot oft by a shell, and the horses of Messrn. Hey ward and Ferguson, of S. C.. two of Gen. B.'s aides, were killed by the same shell. . The battle now raged with tretran'lous fury, but our brave generals could be seen in the Tme..ieanuregard comma.ded during the day, and was in all parts of the field, being .everal hours under a galiing fire. He escaped many shell and rifled shot, whic: were evidently thrown directly at him. His escape seems truly miraculous. I my. eif saw a shell burst not twenty yards from n the gallant general. Gen.

The fall of noble, chivalrous Barow carried a pang of sorrow to every heart, while numerous households were plhmged in sorrow for dear departed ones, or agonized withI sna~ pense and fear lest they too have lost a son or brother. But a part, of the battle field has been exposed to view as we write and even that little brings mourning to a thousand hearts. A dloating father, as lie rode in from the country yesterday, was met by a messenger, who reported to him the sad news of the death of a favorite son. " How and whecre did he die ?" was the impulsive interrogatory.
