novor yot in tho history or Virginia Courts was n

Not by any means nil of tho li und rods of negroes

Finally bu made n spdech nt ibo mooting in which i
Con. IVADE HAMPTON originally appoarcd. This J
was thc mikinkcst cul of all. Tho ultra radical- j

Ho mounted tho platform bravely, however, ami
aftor staling that bo had just arrived, and would
bo propared in a day or two to addross a mass

Ho congratulated tho Convention on its appear?
ance ; said that for tho Aral limo in tho history of

Thoy woro hero to diecuas, nut mon, but measures.
Tho conflict botwoon individ?ala had conned, but

i tonn thia fact waa lo be conatautly horno in mind.
Radicalism waa not understood. If to bo radical

if radicalism or ropubllcaniam consista in tho

Tho lotter opons by giving a pioturo of Craw

Noxt follows a vory graphic pen-and-ink sketch
of tho personnel, tho 00 rr oct noaa of wbioh will bo

Wo learn boro, um OUR other facia, of in tores t, that I
Ur. 8. ls nearly nix feet high, flfly-flvo yours of

character and conversation aro noxt roviowod.
Under tho latter hoad, Mr. SWINTON writes:
"As you may ho awaro, bo ls engaged in >.*riling
% work on tho "War bctwoon tho Ulaloo." It is,
however, aa I gather, to bo a monograph rathor
than a history, and will treat only of spcotal points
in tho cansos, oondnot and resulta of tho wsr 1
secession. Ho shrinks fro n tho am on nt of morbid
anatomy that would bo required in a complote his*
lory. 'No rlght-hoartod Confederate,' ho ob?
served to mo, 'can write tho history of tho wart
would bo bko'a rn? raking up and exposing I

ruxNU is perhaps tho only man who coule), if ho
would, wrilo tho secret, internal history of tho
Confederacy, ami ns ho is not so minded, a great
deal ot it will dio with him. Tho work on which
ho is now engaged cannot fail to possess a very
high v.iluo; it need not, lenna er, ho looked for
soon, ns it is vet in no considerable degree of for?
wardness.
"1 may gone rali/., tho conclusion of a long,
wide-spreading talk regarding tho conduct of tho
South in this woy : Tho South wan guilty of two
great mistaken-tho first was secession itself, and
tho Hccond tho object for which tho war wax litado,
to wit : independence. Add to theso a third, name?
ly, tho rsTTOn in the civil mid military manage?
ment of tho war when it wan onco bogun."
Mr. Rrr.pnr.s'H lielicvud in tho right of nocosHion,
bul regarded secession nu u prodigious political
blunder. Ho wns, ns is well known, opposed to
tho eoccHBion of Georgia to tho very last, and did
nil that lay iii hi? power lo provont it. Hut tho
very oler.ion!? wcro ngaiust bim nnd on tho nido of
uceo- ?ion, aa will bo eeen by tho following para?
graph of Mr. SWINTON'? lotlor :
".Mr. STEPHENS bad wanted a convention of tho
peoplo lo bo hold about tho l?th of December.
Ho know that Georgia would not scccdo, ami ho
was also sure thal South Carolina, which had not
yoi seceded, would not, bot though ?ho was, go out
alone. Dui be could not effect this put pone. Thu
election for delegates wns ordered fur tho lat of
January, which wns afine S<?j?li Carolin? bcd
taken t In- leap. 'Well,' ho wont on lo say, 'on the
l?t of January, thu io wns a raiti-slorin inoro vio?
lent than tim oldest inhabitant romcmbercd-not
Hinco tho Hood in thu Yazoo had I be: o been such a

derating influonco in tho oloction of delegates to

opidomics aro nlways stronger Cati elsewhere
Wo lout al h nit twonty Union members by this.

tho rain would loso us tho elect iou. And HO indeed
it did.'"
Noxt we bavo "gliinsca or tho earlier war days,''
when wo learn that Mr. STEPIIF.NB' dioico for Presi?
dent of tho new C.mfodoracy was Mr. TOOMDS.

M tho South; thal DAVIS "was not at nil what (mo?
ule Hiipposo-uot at all a lire-enter; and, though ho
was of conreo a Statu flights mau, ho could hardly
bo called a secessionist." Ho niau said Ibnt DAVIS
was very averse to having Fort Sumter tired on,
?nd only yielded a flor it was known that a Hoot
.villi rciiiforconiunts and supplies waa off tho har?
bor. "That WC regarded, after tho promise! made,
is tho beginning of host dil icu, and held, therefore,
thal ii was nut wo that commenced tho war."
It was universally thought that tho war would
bo.a brief holiday affair. Most of tho prominent
|K)liticians, wbon wc got through tho work of tho
Convention, hastened to ontor tho army, fearing
that ir tboy did nut get in quick thoy would loso
tho opportunity of malani,- somo capital for tho

"Mr. DAVIS," bo wont on to say, "obsorvod tome

'ii would now bo a question of brains who should

lhere must l e a great deal where that carno from.

talked it over ono day, and wo wero to havo on.
ot ber meeting two days afterwards; bat, in tho
meantime, ho carno out in tho newspapers with an
srhcio showing ibo unconstitutionality of tho pro?
posed measure, and I never want to him on tho
Bubjcct utter" i.!. But bid ba acted as I havo in?
dicated, wo might roadily havo bought fleetd in
Klimpe, and might oven havo hired mercenaries to
fight our battles. I propoaod to havo fifteen iron?

by tho following March, Wo might in this way
bavo kopt at leant ono or two por?j open, and if
tho portal system is kept opon tho organism can
livo. A man will livo ir ho can breathe through a
quill even; but whon, ono after another, wo lost all
onr ports, ovon to Wilmington, tho garno was up."
Mr. STH III;NS never believed in tho wisdom or
feasibility of Southern Indopondonco. 'Tho very
physical features of tho ["continent," ho says,
"nocoBuitato political unity, and oven had tho
South won ita indopondenco, it would not have
ko.it it forton years." His viow was that tho Con?
foacruto government Bbonld bavo to conduot tts
policy as to foster, and aid, and aivpport.tb.at senti?
ment, iustcadof alienating and repelling it. "But
tho gods, designing to destroy us, first struck ?ur
rulers wi'h madness."
Ho nest speaks of tho several suocosslvo efforts
for tho establishment of poaoo, all of awhicb as ia
well known, failed. Mr. STEPHENS, howover, bold
all communications upon this part of tho secret hbv
lory of tho war ss well as what occurred during tho
Fortress Monroe Conic re. nco as confidential. But
Mr. SWINTON gives tho following bit of history re?
garding tho Bum mission, which ho had.- from h
distinguished Confederate officer in Virginia. It
appears that ono of tha propositions Bi.un carried
tb Hichmond wau that tho Union army should
mako a lauding on tho coast of Texas in a position
me macing to tho French in Mexico, that tho Con.
fed?ralo army should offer a show of following it
up, bnt that tho two should u ni to in common canso
in vindication of tho Monroo doctrine. Tho war
mean?hilo would bo au adjourned question, and
out of thia probably a settlement would ariao in
tho end.
Wo will.oonclndo our extracts with Ute following
opiaodo:
Whilo wo wcro sitting on tho porch during tho
afternoon, the negro member of tho Bo ml ofllcg
int rat i on carno up to BOD Mr. Stephens. Ho is a
bright fellow named Neil, who lives in thc adjoin,
ing county, and is well acquainted with Mr. Ste?
phens. Ho gavo us tho elatistie'e of tho day's
work in tho registration of Taliaforro County,
which ia going on at tho Court UOUHO boro. Tho
result showed that 470 persona hail registered, and
that tho blecke bad a majority of 75.
"Massa Aleck," said Nod, "I was looking tn you
to como down to tho registration, and waa waiting
to holp you up tho stops."
"Would you have lot mo register, Nod?"
'1 would havo dono my boat, Massa Aleck."
' Well, Ned," said Mr. Stephens, "I havo never
voted sinco I voted against soeeesion." Thon to
UIO, "I iiovor voted during tho Ca nf ode racy."
Mr. Stephens to day made all Ilia negroes go and
