RICHMOND, July 25.-Tl ie reply of the Justices of the Hastings Court to Gen. Schofield's com? munication will be made public to-morrow. The Court justifies its decision in the cases named by him on the ground of justice, and utterly deny that the parties being bon at the North or South had anything to do with it, with reference to the finding of HrStze's only om cent for assaulting tho teacher of a freedmen's school who had whipped his brother, they say the time never was, that a Virginia Court would in prison any man for an assault upon another -man 1 when that othor ? man had beaten , a cliild, oven though the child so beaten was not of kith or kin, much . less when that child was son, daughter, brother or sister cf the party commii.ting the assault. Such cases have previously occtrrefi in our Courts, but never yot in the history of Virginia Courts was a man imprisoned for such in offence. Such a' sen? tence would shook the moral sense of the commu? nity. With reference to ti e Court having advised a not pros. ' in a case whore the counsel of the petty had said that now Courts were- intended ' only to try Confederates, the mag ist. c 'es disclaim responsibility for whet counsel may say, and deny that their judgment waa a t aJi influenced by the remarks in quos tion.

[FROM O ?B rVECX&X COBBESPONDENT.] COLIJMB?A, July W3.-The colored element were all agog to-day in'anticipation of the arrival and hospitable disposition of the delegates to the Radical State Convention. For weeks thi9 event has been the theme of curb-st ?ne gossip and Union League discussions; and there is probably at this time not an old mauma in town interested in the subject who cannot give you a disquisition on the principles of State Government aa long as the moral law. V Not by any means ali of the hundreds of negroes in and around Columbia, however, are abandoned, body and soul, to tho now movement. One class, represented by such clever, sensible, cautious men as Beverly Naah, etand aloof from the achemea which contemplate the elevation of the negro at tho expense of tho white man, and main? tain a species of "masterly inactivity," content to wait upon the developments of the future, and desirous of retaining tho respect of their old masters and friends. The consequence is, that they are in a measure politically tabooed. Nash, for instance, got into a snarl with tho Freedmen's Bureau, or rather with one WRIGHT, connected with it, because, instead of distributing the cloth? ing sont here for destitute freedmen, tho material was otherwise disposed of "for the benefit of whom it might concern;" whereupon Beverly made ono of his fearless telling speeches to the ragged crowd who wero in waiting, and gave tho Bureau severa shots between wind and water. Then he had more trouble, as tho representative of certain colored school interests. One of the officers was declared to be interested iu land on whioh ho wished th? new school to be erected, and a sort of chiseling process was going on, when Beverly again bom? barded the fortress, and compelled a surrender. Finally he made a speech at the meeting in which Gen. WADE HAMPTON originally appeared. This was the unkinkest cut of all. The ultra radical? ism rampant in the F. B. could not brook conser? vativo principles in the heart of even a negro. Ho was an enemy in camp. Liberal thought and brave utterance cdst him his popularity, and adroitly conceived falsehoods, industriously circu? lated, added to the prejudices which now keep Nash in tho political back-ground. Another class of negroes consists of shrewd, anxious, ambitious men, who have their types in the white race, and have taken to a public Ufe to enjoy its fascina ion and rewards.^ They aiton tho platform?, "second the motions, " now and then fire cif a short resolution, and heartily ap? plaud thc speaker of the day, which, of course, is tho key note for every body elBe to "holler." They are utterly innocent of any severe attempts at public speaking, but do a vast amount of work outside, and especially among the Union Leagues. Earnest, imitative; frequently combining much hard sense with the stale platitudes of tho THAD. STEVENS' creed borrowed from their friends in tho Bureau; ready for an argument; always primed with the one) idea-'"we ve got the majority, let's use it;" religious believers in the right of the ne? gro to hold office; keenly appreciative of the emol? uments thereof; generously willing to servo the piibli-? in any public capacity; blindly devoted to their party, and without one particle of real ill feeling for tho white race. Snoh is another class of colored mon, who are' more especially engaged in blowing the political bubbles of tho day. Their number is not great, and, th ere foro, I was not sui prised, on, going to the depot this evening, to find that the Charleston delegation, although it embraced snch distinguished person s as BOWEN and LESTES, and MACKEY, Junior, besides some twelve or fifteen colored delegates, was not welcomed by more than fifteen or t wonty of their compatriots. I may be mistaken, but the impression grows deeper every day that the groat mass of negroes throughout the State, yielding to their own innate convictions of right* and duty, are' growing con? servative, if not nidifi?rent, and if left undisturbed by agitators would devote themselves to the de? velopment of prosperity and let tho State take saxe of itself. ? Of the character of the Convention it is difficult bo write. It will probably not embrace moro than jevonty-nyo delegates. , Already there is some d' fie renco of opinion with reference to the organization, and I have been in? formed that ? pretty kettle of fish has been upset between United States Marshal EPPING and Mr. C. 0. BOWES, by reason of some office which the latter bolds, and which the former thinks don't bolong Lo him. That is about the long and short of it. A sort of caucus is being held to-night to enable' tho adverso elementa to " harmonize." There is also a dispoBitiozLon the part of the low-country iolegates to foist tho formar organisation on the Cou von ti on, oa tho ground that this is only an ad i jurned meeting. The delegate* from the interior abject, and'will insist that this is an independent concern, and the official starting point of a State Republican at Radical party. With this view some centrally located man will be suggested as the President of the body. Much debate on minor topics is anticipated, and a perfect avalanche of discussion on the resolutions and platform.. The Convention will probably sit two days. -J .General SZQKXES is expocted to come in for more than an ordinary share of attention, and may possibly bo formally read out of tho. Radical rank and file,.which, of course, will Jistress the General very greatly. His letter to Mr. TRUMBULL is regarded as malicious and iniquitous, and his impertinence in evon suggest? ing an amelioration of the lightning of Radical svrath, is, I judge, destined to bo rewarded with much elocutionary rebuke. There Is .also ' great perturbation of spirit in consequence of tho appointment it Beverly Nash and Edwards (colored) }n the list of registrara for Richland District. They dont suit the rising politicians of the S ta to, md I learn that strong efforts will be made to in luce the Commander-in-Chief to throw thom over? board. The dissensions promise to be frightful. Jealousy is already at the boiling point, and tho tempestuous scramble for place and money be? tween the various parties, while and black, forcibly reminds one of BAR NT n's "Happy Family" at feed time. FELIX. . COLUMBIA, S. C., July 21_To-day witnesses wfiat may be regarded os an event in tho political history of tho State. Whether the Convention now in session succeods in organizing a Radical party or not, whether good or harm is done, no snch spectacle has before been seen within tho borders of South Carolina. Tho gathering is not a large one-less than seventy-five delegates, all told, being present-but the fact that it consists mainly of tile former slaves of our pooplo, who have for their purpose tho creation of a party platform which may totally chango tho political relationa of the State, and that it is probably through the influence of tbeso same colored men that we shall in some way bo got back into thc Union-it is this which renders the occasion one of remarkable interest oven to an outsider, and makes it a point whereon the future historian will possibly stop and dwell. There are few white men present, except spec? tators-probably not moro than ten or twelve, and, with two or three exceptions, they do not wear physiognomies which predict their fitness for tho extraordinary greatness which they seem to think is about to be thrust upon them. Col. THOMAS H. ROBERTSON- and Mr. C. H. BALDWIN, both of Columbia, are gentlemen of wealth, and probably will command much influence among tho negroes; United States Marshal EPPING, of Charles? ton, you all know; the remaining few may be classed under the general head of briefless law? yers, innocent Northern school-teachers, and one or two ambitious lads. I do not think thoy will deceive any inte .hgent colored man. Tho Convention assembled in JANNEY'S Hall, and at 12 o'clo3k was called to order by R. H. Gleaves, an intelligent looking mulatto, who was tho Presi? dent of the last Convention held in Charleston, and who in taking tho Chair observed that this being a continuation of the meeting which was adjourned on tho 10th of May last, thoy would re? sume thc business of that Convention. Frayer was then offered by tho Rev. Mr. Ran? dolf h (colored), after which the roll of the original Convention was called. A small number only re? sponded. A Committee on Credentials, consisting of Ave, was appointed, of which Mr. EPPING was Chair? man, and two Sergeants-at-Arms were chosen to preservo order. Pending tho preparation of tho report of tho last named Committee, thc President called upon Mr. W. J. ARMSTRONG, of Washington, D. C., to ad? dress tbe Convention. Mr. ARMSTRONG is a young man of four or five and twenty, who has been dele j gated by the Congressional Executive Committe: > to make a tour of South Carolina and talk to th? j people, but seemed to be, nautically speaking "thrown on his beam ends" by the abrupt and un expected invitation thus extended. He mounted the platform bravely, however, ant after stating that he bad just arrived, and wonk' be prepared in a day or two to address a mas; meeting, or the Convention itself, if it was so do sired, launched briefly upon his theme. He congratulated the Convention on its appear? ance ; said that for the first time in tho history ol the State this was a Convention of the people ol South Carolina, and he hoped that what was done would find an echo in the heart of every loyal man North and South. He believed they came here with m ali co toward none, and good will to all. They were here to discuss, not men, but measures. Tho conflict between individuals had ceased, but the war of ideas still progressed. In all delibera itons tbis fact was to be constantly borne in mind, Radicalism was not understood. If to be radical was to cherish hate, he was not e "ha man ; rut if radicalism or republicanism . ?aists in tho maintenance of the principles o justice and equality to all men and the divine rinciples of government, then he was a radical . lbese prin? ciples were properly put before the pet. ' of South Carolina, in the shape of a well digeste 'atform, they would be successful ; if not, prejudk would still provail and no real good be done. Air. T. H. ROBERTSON then being called upon, spoke as follows: GENTLEMEN or THE CONVENTION: I am greatly surprised at tho sudden call which bas been made upon me, and am not, therefore, prepared to re? spond with such extended remarks ai tho moment would seem to demand. I am here simply to do as much good as I can, and as little barm. I am here to co-operate with the members of this Con? vention in cai mug out tho great plan of restora? tion that has been offered for our acceptance. My object ie to got back into tho Government, and as a Union Republican to conform to tho laws that have been promulgated. In my opinion, the terms proposed to us by Congress are the most liberal that have ever been offered to a conquered people. It bas boen declared-and many ol my personal friends ontertain this view-that wo cannot rely upon these m oas ur es, that they are not a finality, and something more will bo demanded of us. But, fellow-citizens, I ask you, in all good faith, upon whom eau we rely, if not upon tho Congross of tho United States'? They havo not dcooived ua yet, and, if we do our duty, they will not deceive ns in the future Andrew Johnson has deceived us-Congress never ! (Applause.) Andrew John Bon told as to reconstruct, but the loyal man then had little voice in this country. But Congress now says, ''Let your State send loyal men to Wash? ington, and we will receive them and admit them to their seats.'' Wo can ask no moro. I am sure. Mr. President, that if our people as a mass will look upon this subject dispassionately, they will, with me, regard these proffered terms as moderato and mild. We, as a people, tried to break np the best Government the sun over shone upon. Wo foiled, thank God ! I am a Southern man, born and raised here. I love my people; I love my District; I lovejmy State; but I love my coufltry-my whole country-better than all. (Ap? plause.) I love that flag which gives me protec? tion, whether I am ia America or Africa-whether arnon? the civilized nations of tho world, or the barbar? ns of far-off lands. As my' friend from Washington has just said, the war b;twcon men is over, and tho conflict is now ono of ideas. If wo conduct ourselves as men, we will prove to the world that these ideas aro right, that thoy are based upon j us tice, and it will not be six months before thousands of tho white.raco will be following in oar footsteps, and thus giving evidence that wo are now only a stop in advance ot tho people. Some few weeks ago, I visited the city of Wash? ington, and had frequent interviews with Mr. Wil? son, ono of the moat prominont men in the United States Sonate, ii o gave mo assurances that they wanted none but loyal men from the South in Coo? ?reas, and that al-bough so many were at present Lsfranchised, that disfranchisement would cease wbenever the people chose to demonstrate their loyalty to the General Government. One word of advice to this Convention. I do hope that we shall act wisely, discreetly and well; and that we shall adopt no measures which are not calculated to ad van co the welfare of the whole ha? man family, regardless of race, color or previous condition. (Applause.) We should adopt a.plat? form big. and broad, and strong enough to accom? modate tho whole human family. If that be done, wo can sweep this country from the mountains to the seaboard. We can republicanize the State. If wo fail to accomplish this end, the fault will be our own. Adopt snob measures as will carry with them the common sense of the people, and we shall bo aucofissful. 'This should ba our aim; this our object. Neglect to do so, and the blame will rest with ourselves. (Applause.) Mr. ROBERTSON was followed by Mr. GILBERT PILLSBURY, a teacher in tho Freedman's Bureau. Ho said be regarded the present moment as a great crisis in tho affairs of tho State. Tho North and Wost wero peering upon this Convention, eager to know what action it would take-whether in this benighted land we shall rear the beacon light of liberty and of universal human right, or whether there may be those among us yet dispos? ed to eui tail this God-given blessing. He felt satisfied of one thing, and it cheered bia heart that whatever action was taken hero it would re? dound to the advancement of the colored race, to the credit of the Republican party, and to the glo? ry of Almighty God 1 For four years be had been identified with tho interests of the colored race, but there were those upon th? floor who bad not been the exponents of tho principles of the Republican cause, and when a distinguished man li ko his friend, Colonel Rob? ertson, uttered such noble sentiments in South Carolina as he had heaid this morning, he could, it possible, canonize bim for bis fidelity to the Union, and for his indomitable courage. It cost him (tho speaker) nothing to talk loyalty; it was expected of him; but when a gontleman like Col. It. arose in a Convention composed mostly of col? ored men who have been ostracised and orusbod for hundreds of years, and announced such senti? ments as had been heard, he felt there was hopo for even the white men of South Carolina. He welcomed all such men. They wero plucky; and if they were plucky for tho Confederacy, they certainly would be plucky for the Union. The Committee on Credentials here returned, and roported the names of the following additional members, who bad presented proper credentials: Lexington-Jamos Bawl, Lemuel Boozer, S. Coxier. Darlington-Rov. B. F. Whittomore, Alfrod Rush, John A. Barnes. Orangoburg-Rev. B. F. Randolph, Ed. Cain. Beaufort-E. G. Dudley. Sumter-Joseph White. Chester-M. Blackwell, - Humphroys, D.

Anderson-Samuel Johnson, Henry Kennedy. York-John W. Moad. Greonvillo-W. A. Bishop, Wilson Cook. Fairfield-W. W. Herbert, C. L. Rcafo, Sandy Ford, Samuel Greer. . Colleton-Gilbert Roo co. The report was adopted, and tho names of tho new members wero called. Tho dolcgates wore then tequested to arrange themselves by Districts on tho nearest benches to tho platform. The minutes of the last Convention were read and confirmed. The President stated that the only Committee in existence was the State Central Committee, and called upon Mr. C. C. BOWEN for his report. That person stated that it was not yet prepared, bat would be ready at the next session. Tho motion was thon made to adjourn, when some small sparring took placo, and the Conven? tion became thoroughly snagged among tho par? liamentary motions that followed, but, aftor a while, the croft swung cloar, and tho body adjourn? ed to meet at eight o'clock P.M. EVENING SESSION. Tho Convention reassembled, and was called to order at half-past 8 o'olock. After the roading of tho journal a letter, emana? ting from tho Union Ropublicau Congressional Ex? ecutive Committoo, introducing WM. J. A BM 8TBONQ to tho Convention and to Ltho colored so? cieties of tho State, was road. Thereupon Mr. ABMSTBONO, waa invited to rise and ahowhimsolf, and, on motion, was elected au honorary momber of tho Convention. R. B. Elliot, a colored man from Massachusetts, and formerly associate editor of ono of tho freed? men's papers in Charleston, was also elected an honorary member. An invitation was extended to Gen. BUBTON, tho commandant of the Post, to occupy a seat upon tho platform, but Gen. BUBTON W IS not in the hall. The Committeo on Credentials, to whom had been referred tho papers of delegates who arrived since tho morning session, reported thc following : , Abbeville-Henry Lagoe. Sumter-Rev. James Survie. Rov. W. E. Johnson, Rev. J. G. Burrowa. Newberry-B. Odell Duncan. Clarendon-Elias E. Dickson, Wm. McDowall. Tho following report of tho Stato Executive i Central Committeo was read and accepted : < COLUMBIA, S. C., July 24,1867. To the President ana Members of the Union Be publican Conceniion : The Executive Stato Contral Committeo beg 1 leave to moko thc following report : Tho Committee havo by their efforts effected tho following organizations ol' tho Republican party : . James Island, Wadmalaw Island, St. Andrews : Parish, Mainland, St. Paul's Parish, Edisto Island, I Christ Church Parish, St. James Santee, Parish of ? St. James Gooso Creek, St. John's Berkery, St. Stephou's Parish, Colleion District, Orangoburg, Kershaw, Sumter. 1 For the accomplishment of tho abovo work, the Committee commenced operations on or about tho 14th of May, from which timo until the 28th of June, they Viad constantly several men in tho field at which time the operations of the Committee were interrupted, leaving unfinished avast amount of work then under consideration. There h^ve been collected and placed in tho hands of ttf) Treasurer $493.65, from which there have been .expended, exclusively for board and travelling e-vpenses of speakers, $313.20, loaving a balance of $180.45 in the hands of the Treasurer. : C. C. BOWEN, President. EDWARD WALL, Secretary. \ PAUL M. PulNSETT, Treasurer, j E. 0. DELARGE. Mr. GrJLLiMoN (white) moved that the Committee be discharged. Thereupon a lively and somowhat pointed dissuasion ensued, in which tho delegates from the low country took an active part. At this juncture the gas lights euddonly dis? appeared and the hall was left ia utter darkness. Whether the misfortune was owing to a fault in in the muter, or tho freak of somo mischovious boy, did not appear, but the circumstance was deemed of sufficient importanco to necessitate the appointment of a Coniniitteo to wait upon General BUBTO?? and ask for a guard. In five minutes, however, the gas again responded to a touch of a lighted match, and the deliberations rosurnod. Mr. WILDES, of Columbia, now fired off tho bo mb oj ell of the evening in tho shape of a resolu? tion that a Committee of one from oaoh District represented upon the floor be appointed to nomi? nate officers and reorganize the Convention. This called to his loot Mr. C. C. Bowra, who made a passionate speech, marked with a good deal of force and that kind of reasoning which would infiuan.ee ignorant minds. But his arguments did not foll upon the sandy soil which he has been in the habit of tilling, and he brought apon himself from colored mon, who havo quito as much good sense as himself, a storm of responses which silencod him for thc remainder of the evening. Mr. Whipper, a very intelligent colored speaker lom Orangeburg, contended, in roply to BOWEN, that when they first assembled in Charleston, it iras with such a paucity of numbers as scarcely to ivarrant a Convention; and when thoy did conveno, I was in such an irregular and informal manner ;hat twonty-four hours before the meeting a uo ;ice had been printed, and was about being dis trib ited, that it would not take place. He contended bat an organization made under these circum itances was neither fair nor legitimate.'' Justice night to bo done to DiBtriots now represented, ["hey wero entitled to a voice in those proceedings, ind, so far as his vote could aid tho object, ho in .ended that voice to be heard. B. C. DoLarge (colorod) now threw his toma ?awk at Bowra, and fairly brained him. He said : 1 One of tho first requisites for the formation of a >roper party is harmony ; thc next respoct. Mr. 3. did not seem to possess oither spirit, and ?vinced a desire to control matters which would lol bo brooked by mon of sense from any portion if the State. The delegates gathered here for the Int time were as much entitled to take part in all ho deliberations, and Ko be represented in them, is those who constituted tho original organization it Chorleston. Tho foelings of tho up-country rere to be consulted in this matter. Tho Conven ion bad met to accomplish a groat purpose-not ? appeal to passions or prejudices, but to the good lense of men, to their principles. That which as lembled at Charleston waa but a beginning, and hey scarcely dared to adopt a platform, lest its eaturos should be objectionable to that portion of he State whioh was unrepresented, and thereby >revent unity of action. He desired to see a reorganization without ro ipoct to race or color, and the election of such non as were best fitted for the position, whether hey were aa black as midnight or white as the iripping snow. In brief, hs did not think that iwonty or thirty men who constituted tho original irganization should seek to control thia real Stato Convention. Mr. BISHOP, a white man, from Greenville, said bat nineteen Districts were represented in tho )resent body, and only nine in tho first Con ven iion. As a representative, of three thousand col >red mon, ho did not feel that ho could conacien ionsly tell his people that ho had done bis duty inder the former organization. He believed in re? organization strongly. Mr. WHITTEMOUE, of the F. B., who has ac? quired some notoriety by. surrounding himself nth armed negroes, and. making other demon? strations of an incendiary character in the neigh? borhood of Darlington, and who is an active wirc niller, and a prayerful man with an abdominal .oico, made a speech in the now popular vein, itter whioh Mr. Wilder, (colored) demanded tho irevions question. The previous question was or lered, and the main question being put, his 'c solution was agreed to by a vote of 49 to 6. Thereupon a Committee of One from each Dis rict was appointed by the Chair, or rather the jominations of the Committee, bad evidently been prepared in anticipation of tho moment, and tho ur y retired to ait on the case. During their absence, speeches wore made by lev. Mr. Randolph, Langley, a colorod toachor at beaufort, Elliot, formerly, asaociato editor of a recdman'a journal in Charleston, and J. J. Wright, , very intelligent and well-spoken colored lawyer r?jn Susquehanna County, Penn., the only colored awyor "Scensed in that State. Tho tenor of the ipecches is familiar to your readers, save that hey were generally mild, conservative and unex? ceptionable in their sentiment and utterance. It is evident that a better tone prevails among he colored leaders, ar.d that they are beginning o realize that the devil is not ao black as bo has >cen painted; in other words, that the white gen lemen of the South have shown that thoy recog ?iao the new status of tho raco, and havo yielded ibedience to that law which demands for it the ibservance of its now privileges.

It hoing now after midnight, tho Convention ad ourned to 10 A. M. to-morrow. FELIX. AhEXAVDKH H. STEPHENS. " Libra," the very clever and readable, aa well aa judicious correspondent of the New York T.mes, in tho iesue of that journal for Monday last, has a letter covering ovor six columns, giving tho result of liia conversations with tho Hon. ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS, whose hospitality ho enjoyed for some laj'B at Crawfordnville, Georgia. Mr. SWINTON. the accomplished historian of Mic Army of thc Po? tomac, and author of thc moro recently publisbod "Decisive Battles of tho War,"-whose seudonyin is but a thin disguise, in removing which we are not guilty of indelicacy, as "Libra" has not pre? served a studied mcog.-from this letter would ap? pear to have boen in his olemont uudcr that spreading oak, his host ready to answer any and ivory question that oven tho mpat divergent and ?onscientious historical research could suggest; ind Mr. STEPHENS has no cause to regret tho cour? tesy or hospitality he extended to bis inquiring juest, for ho finds his personal, moral, mental and spiritual picture drawn with a loving hand and an idmiring pencil. Were tho letter not too long, we should copy it entire. But aB our space forbids such extravagant indulgence, wo will cull from it (vhat we deem of the greatest interest to our readers. Tho letter opens by giving a picture of Craw "ordsville, "a poor, tumble-down Georgia village )f thrco or four score wooden houses, which strog rlc over the sad and silent street or two, mildewed ind weather-worn, and given over for a generation past to mere somnolence and decrepit ade, placed unid a sterilo and unpicturesque country, and iu jabited by a pcoplo dull, homely and prosaic." Next follows a very graphic pen-and-ink sketch )f the personnel, the correctness of which will be readily acknowledged by every ono who has ever seen Mr. STEPHENS' iemaikablo faco and form. Wc learn herc, among other facts of interest, that Mr. S. is nearly six feet high, fifty-five years of ige, and only weighs ninoty-four p.-.unds. His ?haracter and conversation aro next reviewed. [Jnder the latter head, Mr. SWINTON writes: "As you may be aware, ho is engaged in writing i work on tho "War betwoeu thc States." It is, lowovcr, as I gather, to be a monograph rather ;han a history, and will treat only of special points n tho causes, conduct and resulta of tho war of secession. He shrinks fro.n the amount of morbid matomy that would be required in n complete his? tory. 'No right-hearted Confed?rate,' he ob? served to mo, 'can write tho history ol tbe war; it (vould bo like a man raking up and expoaing to view tho follies and errors of his brother.' STE? PHENS is perhaps the only man who could, if he would, write the secret, internal history of the Confederacy, and as he ia not so minded, a great deal of it will dio with him. Tho work on which he is now engagod cannot fail to possess a very high value; it need not, however, bo looked for soon, as it ia yet in no considerable degree of for? wardness. "I may generalize tho conclusion of a long, wide-spreading talk regarding tho conduct of the South in this way : The South was guilty of two great mistakes-the first was secession itself, and tho second the object for which tho war waa made, to wit : independence. Add to these a third, name? ly, the orrors in the civil and military manage? ment of tho war when it was once begun." Ur. STEPHENS behoved in the right of secession, but regarded secession as a prodigious political blunder. He was, as is well known, opposod to tho secession of Georgi* to the very last, and did all that lay in his power to prevent it. But the very element were against him and on tho side of secession, as will bo scon by tho following para? graph of Mr. SWETTOU'S letter : "Mr. STEPSENS had wanted a convention of the pcoplo to bo held about tho 15th of December. Ho know that Georgia would not secede, and ho was also sure that South Carolina, which had not yet seceded, would not, hot though she was, go ont alono. But ho could not effect this purpose. The oloctiou for delegates was orderod for the 1st of January, which was after South Carolina had taken tho leap. 'Woll,' ho wont on to say, 'on th6 1st of January, there was a ram-storm moro vio? lent than tho oldest inhabitant remembered-not since the flood in thc Yazoo had there been such a storm. The result was that the country people could not get out to vote, and this gave a prepon? derating iufluence in the election of delegates to tho towns and villages, where, you know, political epidemics aro always stronger than elsewhere. We lost at least twenty Union membors by this. Even Borne, up in tho Cherokee country, where tho Union sontimont was vastly in the ascendant, sent a secession delegate. I wont over myself to the Court-house yonder to voto, and tho roDm was tilled with dripping people, with wet saddles in their hands, who had come through the flood and miro with immense difficulty. I made them a little speech there, and I said then that I feared the rain would loso us tho election. And so indeed it did.'" Next wo have "glimses of the earlier war days,'' whon wo learn that Mr. STEPHENS' choice for Presi? dent of thc now Confederacy was Mr. TOOMBS. whom he regarded as the most powerful intellect of tho South; that DAVIS "was not at all what peo? ple suppose-not at all a .fire-eater; and, though he was of courso a State Bights man, ho could hardly bo called a secessionist." He also said that DAVIS was very aversa to having Port Sumter fired on, and only yielded after it was known that - a fleet with reinforcements and supplies was off the har? bor, "That we regarded, after the promise j made, as tho beginning of hostilities, and held, therefore, that it was not wo that commonced tho war." It was universally thought that the war would bo a brief hobday affair. Most of tho prominent politicians, when we got through the work of tho Convention, hastened to enter the army, fearing that if they did not get in quick they would lose the opportunity of making somo capital for the future 1" "Mr. DAVIS," ho went on to Bay, "observed tome soon after wo got established at Montgomery, that 'it would now bo a question of brains who should win,' and tho remark was so just that I thought there must Lc a great deal where that came from. But there was manifested from the start a wonder? ful lack of statesmanship, and even of mero ordi? nary good sense." I asked him to givo me some illustrations of chis. "Woll," said he, "thoro is tho subject of finance -tho sinews of war. Never was a people in posi? tion to start with so magnificent a basia of credit as wo. They said cotton was king. Nonsense ! It was indeed a commercial king, but no political king. I always regarded tho prevalent notion-that England wonfd inter veno in our behalf on account of cotton as the most chimerical of fancies; and I told fhbin at the time mat the only effect of lock? ing up our cotton would be to stimulate Its pro? duction elsewhere. Now observe," he con? tinuos, " what a foundation wo had for credit, which Chatham calls the 'plumage of the bird.' I proposed to take ad the cotton say four million bales-at ten cents, paying for it with eight per cont, gold interest bearing bonds. By shipping it to Liverpool (which we might read? ily have done, for there was no blockade to speak of during the first year), and holding it theto till it rose to fifty cents, we would have had $800, 000,000. Woll, I early called Mr. Davis' attention to it, but he told mo he knew nothing of finance, and said "go to M emminger." Momminger and I talked it over ooo day, and we were tc- have an? other meeting two days afterwards; bat, ia the meantime, he came out in the newspapers with an articlo showing tho unconstitutionality of the pro? posed measure, and I never went to bim on the subject atterwar t. But had Le acted as I havo in? dicated, wo might readily have bought fleet J in Europe, and might even have hired mercenaries to fight our battles. I proposed to have fifteen iron? clads constructed in Europe, and to have three out by the following March, We might in this way have kept at least ono or two ports open, and rf the portal system is kept open the organism can live. A man will live it ho can breathe through a quill even; but when, one after another, we lost all our ports, ovon to Wilmington, the gamo was np." Mr. STEPHENS never behoved in the wisdom or feasibility of Southern independence. "Tho very physical features of the ""continent," he says, "necessitate political unity, and even had the South won ita independence, it would not have kept it for ten yoars." His view was that the Con fodcrato government should havo to conduct its policy aa to fostor, and aid, and support that senti? ment, instead of alienating and repelling it. "But tho gods, dosigning to destroy us, first struck our rulers wl'.h madnoss." Ho next speaks of the several successive efforts for the establishment of peace, all of which as is well known, failed. Mr. STEPHENS, however, hold all communications upon this part of the seorot his? tory of tho war as well as what occurred during the Fortress Monroe Conference as confidential. But Mr. SWDITON gives tho following bit of history re? garding thc ULAIu mission, which ho had from a distinguished Confederate officer in Virginia. It appears that ono of tho propositions BLAIB carried to Bichmond was that tho Union army should make a landing on tho coast of Texas in a position menacing to tho French in Mexico, that tho Con? federate army should offer a show of following it up, but that the two should unito in common causo in vindication of the Monroe doctrine. Tho war meanwhile would bo an adjourned question, and out of this piobably a settlement would arise in tho end. Wo wiliconcludo our oxtracts with the following episode: While wo were sitting On the porch during the afternoon, the negro member of tue Boord of Reg? istration came up to ses Mr. Stephens. He is a bright fellow named Ned, who lives in tho adjoin? ing couniy, and is well acquainted with Mr. Ste? phens. ?o gave us thc statistic's of tho day's work in tho registration of Taliafcrro County, which is going on at tho Court House here. Tho result showod that 470 persons had rogistored, and that thc blacks had a majority of 75. "Massa Aleck," said Nf d, '-I was looking to you to como down to thc registration, and was waiting to help you up thc steps." "Would von have lot mc register, Ned?" "1 would have dono my host, Massa Aleck." "Well, Ned," said Mr. Stephens, "I have never votod since I voted against secession." Then to mo, "I never voted during tho Cmfcderacy." Mr. Stephens to day made all his negroes go and register. "Bv and bye," said ho, "they will come and ask mo how to" vote. What can I toll them but to go with thoir race?" EXCELSIOR! EXCELSIOR!
