The “ Examiner” on Mr. Stephens.
This Ishmaelite of journalism charges that
Vice President Stephens is in favor of “ Re
organization,” and so carefully arranges its
language as to leave the idea on the mind of
the reader that be is in favor of a reconstruc
tion of the Union.
If the editor of the ‘‘Examiner” did not
know this charge was baseless, he is not com
petent to conduct a public journal; and if he
knew the charge was not true when he made
it, he is unfit to control the columns of a
newspaper.
Mr. Stephens made a speech at the Athen
ictim, in Savannah, on the evening of the
21st March last. This was before Sumter
fell, and while everybody expected us to have
a peaceable adjustment of our difficulties
with the North, and that secession would be
accomplished without bloodshed. Our com
missioners went to Washington early in
March. They presented their credentials,
and bad made reports to our Government,
that the prospects of peace were very encour
aging. This whs the way matters stood when
Mr. Stephens made that speech at Savannah.
In another column we reprint that portion
of the speech which relates to this subject.
Read it, all, and consider the circumstances,
the relations then existing between us and
the U. S. Government—and see how basely
he is slandered in charging that he is in favor
of re constructing the U. S. Government, or
even of re-organization No fair-minded man
would make such a charge, with all the facts
before him.
Mr. Stephens stated that he had not been
without apprehensions that our cutting loose
from the old government ‘‘would be attended
with more serious ills (among ourselves) than
it had been.” He then paid a glowing trib
ute to the “ wisdom, prudence and patriot
ism which had marked every step of our pro
gress” up to that time. “ This,” said he, ex
ultingly, “augurs well for the future, and it
is a matter of sincere gratification to me that
I am enabled to make the declaration of the
men 1 met in Congress at Montgomery ; (and
1 may be pardoned for saying this,) an abler,
wiser, a more conservative, deliberate, deter*
mined, resolute, patriotic body of men 1 nev
er met in my life I (Great applause. ] Their
works speak fjr them ; the Provisional Govs
ernmeut speaks for them; the Constitution
of the Permanent Government will be a last
ing monument of their worth, merit and
statesmanship.” [ Applause. ]
He further said : “ it is the fu st (lovermnent
ever instituted in strict conformity to Nature, and
the ordination of Providence."
After thus showing that we had the beat
government ou earth, which the world could
not help seeing and feeling, and which people
who had a worse, could not help desiring to
adopt, he pointed to the probabilities of our
growth and expansion. The Constitution
Lad made ample proviaion for the admission
of new States—not such as existed under tha
Constitution of the I. S.—far from auy such
looseness ; but ample. He looked to the ac
quisition of all the then border slave States,
“by the law of gravitation”—an "imperious
law” which they could not resist, and then
said .* “ It is not beyond the range of possi
bility, and even probability, that all the great
States of the Northwest shall gravitate this
way and he said that when this did take
place, if it ever did, it would “be upon no
suck principle as re construction, but upon re
organisation and new assimttlation. Such are
some of the glimpses of the future as 1 catch
them.”
This is all. He did not advocate &tsy thing ■
of the kind. He nowhere said he was in fa- !
ver of such a policy ; he only said he looked ;
upon it as not beyond the range of possibili- i
ty or probability in looking to our future. ,
And here let us bring the question home
to the understanding of every man in the
Confederate States : Suppose our separation
bad been peaceable—as nearly everybody ■
then thought it would—and suppose, in lime ;
to come, the State of Illinois bad adopted the 5
institution of slavery—her people becoming 1
ilavshulders, identified with th* institution ;
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
as we are—and should then have asked ad
mission into the Confederate States. Who
would have voted against it ? Would the edi
tor of the Richmond “Examiner?” If so,
he is a poor statesman, and not fit to give ad
vice to the public. Mr. Stepl eis did not say
he was in favor of this much ; he looked up
on it as “not beyond the range of possibility" in
the future.
He said of these North Western States, if
they should gravitate towards us, “our doors
are wide enough to receive them : but not un
til they are ready to assimilate with vs in
principle,” that is, when they become slave
holding.
-
Cutting* off Charity.
Ross Winans, the celebrated millionaire, of
Baltimore, long since established a soup house
in that city, out of his own funds, at which no
less than 8,000 of the poor and destitute of that
city were daily fed, free oi charge. Who would
have thought of interfering with such a chari
ty? But Winans is a secessionist and is now
imprisoned by Lincoln’s servile minions; and
the despot has broken up the soup house on
the plea that it prevents the poor from enlist
ing in the army while they can find enough to
eat at Winans’ beneficient board.
Floyd and Wise.
A nice little squabble is now going on be
tween the friends of these two men. Floyd is
the senior officer, and, therefore, ranks Wise.
It seems that they both want to be Vice Presi
dent—Floyd especially—and therefore were
jealous of each other—especially has Floyd
been jealous of Wise, and has issued orders to
him which he has refused to obey, and the
Government has ordered him elswhere. The
newspaper scribblers in Floyd’s camp have
been putting out some articles going to show
that Wise has made a failure —has no military
talents, and accomplished nothing. Per con
tra, some of the same class in Wise’s Legion
have made a very fair showing in his defense,
and that Floyd has been unsuccessful and is
lacking in military talents and judgment.
Not being well posted on the merits of the
differences between Wise and Floyd, we are
unable to say whether both are to blame or
whether both are at fault. We know them both
to be voraciously ambitious men, and we are
well satisfied that Floyd has made an attempt
to get his name before the people for the Vice
Presidency next month, while he should have
been contriving means to run the enemy out
of Western Virginia.

Army of the Potomac, /
Near Fairfax, Sept. 29, 1861. j
I have not written you for the past four or
five days, because certain changes had been
made in the disposition of our forces, which I
desired to understand, as well as to ascertain
what they indicated. Other facts had come to
my knowledge which meant a great deal, or
nothing, and which I desired also to investi
gate before writing.
I think I have now probed the whole mat
ter to the bottom, and that I have all the
threads of the campaign in my hand. You
cannot regret more than I do, that a proper
regard for the public welfare should constrain
me to withhold, for the present, the facts
which have reached me. The period has not
yet arrived wheu they may be declared with
safely. This much may be said, however, that
the people of the Confederate States will be
both surprised and disappointed, if not morti
fied, when the history of the closing weeks of
this summer's campaign on the Potomac comes
to be written. I shall not intimate where the
fault lies, if indeed there has been auy fault.
I can only say that yon must possess your
soul in patience for a few weeks more ; for you
will say the knowledge has reached you soon
enough, even though you should not receive
it for months to come.
The chauge in the disposition of our forces,
to which allusion has been made, is this: Our
advance forces, as you are aware, had occupi
ed, for some time, a series of hills iu front oi
the enemy’s lines, including Mason's, Mun
son's and Upton's Hills. We also held the
country about Fall’s Church and Anandale.—
But a short distance intervened between our
lines and the enemy’s. Their forts and breast
works could be easily seen from our lines, as
well as the Potomac and Washington City.—
Well, night before last, (Friday night,) our
forces evacuated all of these elevations and
fell back a distance of five or six miles. This
was done under orders from headquarters, and
after a full consultation between Gens. John
ston, Beauregard and Smith. Our present line
extends from Aeeatink to Vienna and above.
The relrogade movement took place in the
face of a furious equinoctial storm, to which
the troops in advance had been exposed all
day, without their tents. The enemy had made
no demonstration on his part, and he was not
aware of the mamvuvre until yesterday morn
ing. After his surprise had passed off, he sent
out parties to destroy such dwelling houses
and barns in Che neighborhood as had been
used by our pickets as shelter, or as covers
from which to fire upon them. A number of
families were turned out, and all their movea
ble property destroyed or carried off. Many
women and children could be seen on the
I road yesterday, footing it to Fairfax, without
■ a change of clothing, or a mouthful to eat.
I The movement was entirely voluntary on
our part, and was not made in consequence of
! any demonstration, actual or threatened, on
I the part of the enemy. It was made at night,
< so that the Federals might not seek to harrow
our retiring regiments, and then claim that
they had driven them back. But why it was
made in the face of a furious gale, does not so
plainly appear.
; M6ur present line is a better one than that we
| have just abandoned. It was impossible for
I our troops to advance upon the enemy from the
old line, without aooa exposing themselves to
a fire from bis fortifications; whereas the en
emy could sally out any day or night, as the
Russians did at Sebastopol, and then fall back
behind these works, if he found our fire too
hot for his comfort. To pursue him under the
circumstances would be impossible, unless we
intended to storm his works, which are very
strong and formidable.
Gen. Walker was dispatched to the Great
Falls to-day, with three Louisiana regiments,
one hundred cavalry, and six pieces of artil
lery. The enemy had a considerable picket
force stationed ata house just across the Po
tomac, which Gen. Walker was instructed to
destroy by firing hot shot into it He left at
sun rise this morning, and at two o’clock I
could hear his guns distinctly. He fired but
eight or ten shots -from which I infer that the
house was soou destroyed, and the enemy’s
force disp. rsed. His instructions contemplated
further movement up the river to Coo’s Ford.
It we could not fight the Federals from the
line running along Mason and Munson’s Hills,
can we do so from our present line, unless they
come out to meet us ? Clearly we cannot.—
Then will the enemy come out and give battle
upon the open field? It is believed, by some
military men here, that McClellan’s personal
ambition, and the political necessities of his
Government, will constrain him to do so. This
may be true, though I doubt it. I see but little
prospect of a fight in this quarter, in the ab
sence of an attempt to storm the works this
side the river, or to cross over into Maryland.

BET, AC.
Camp Bartow, )
Co., Va.,
Sept. 20th, 1861.)
Dear Confederacy: A gloom has been cast
over the usually light and merry hearts of
the members of our corps. We deeply mourn
the death of a campanion-in-arms, T. Y.
Brown, who received a wound from a Minnie
ball shot from a gun, perhaps in the hands of
one of his own company, in the sad affair
that occurred through mistake on the 12th
inst, on Cheat Mountain, and of which he
died on the morning of the 24th inst. His
sufferings were long and most intense, yet he
bore them with a fortitude becoming a true
Christian, and no doubt but that to-day his
spirit hovers ’round that heavenly throng, and
looks down upon us as a guardian angel to
direct our steps, and keep them from the paths
of sin. Though distant many miles from
home, parents, sisters, yet be did not lack at
tention ; for from the time he received his
wound up to his demise, his brother, J. P.
Brown, Drs. McKinley and Davis, together
with many other members of our corps, were
at his bedside day and night, ready to minis
ter to his every want, and who did all in their
power to alleviate his sufferings He also re
ceived the best surgical aid that could be pro
cured in this division of the army. In his
death the Newnan Guards have lost a gallant
and much beloved member : his parents a du
tiful son ; his brothers their most intimate as
sociate; his sisters a kind protector; the coun
try a much esteemed and worthy citizen and
a patriotic, brave soldier. Would that our pen
were adequate to the task of expressing the
eulogium he merits; but language would fail
us were we to male the attempt—hence, we
will simply drop the tears which are now
trickling down our cheeks to his memory
tender our deep, heartfelt sympathy to his be
reaved parents and relatives, and then pass
on. His remains Lave been sent to Georgia
for interment, having as an escort our regi
mental Chaplain, Mr. Campbell.
There is considerable activity ami stir among
the officers and soldiers here. Fortifications
are being constructed as rapidly as if the
hands of magic were engaged in the work.—
In a few days this encampment will be so
strongly fortified that the force now here
could resist successfully an attack of 10,ut)0 of
the enemy ; at auy rate, we would like to re
ceive a call from that number of our Yankee
friends in our fortifications. We would be
willing to risk all in the result of the confer
ence that would ensue at such a meeting.—
That our officers expect an attack here soon is
evident from present indications. We are
fast preparing to meet it. How soon it may
take place, or whether an engagement will be
had here at all or not, I can't tell ; but, be as
sured, we will ever be ready to welcome the
ruthless invaders of our soil “with bloody
hands to hospitable graves.”
All our sick men, whom we are happy to
say are less in number than when we wrote
you last, are improving—many who were
then sick having regained their wouted health,
while but few havelaUen ill since. These,
with all extra baggage, have been, ami are be
ing, sent to Staunton.
You no doubt remember that I stated iu my
last communication, that Gen. Jackson, with
several regiments of infantry and one compa
ny of artillery, left this camp on the 18th in
stant for some point on the South Branch of
the Potomac, supposed to be Petersburg. For
some reason, whether it be that there was no
enemy iu that region, or that another force
was sent out there to meet him, we are not in
formed, but are inclined to the belief of the
former—all this force returned to Camp Bar
tow a few days after their departure.
We are daily expecting the number of pie- ;
ces of our artillery to be augmented by two
rifled six pounders ami two twelve-pound i
howitzers. This will prove a valuable addi
tion should we get into a battle soon For
prudential reasons, we omit giving you our !
exact force in men and arms. Suffice it to !
say, we feel confident that we are able to stand '
our ground at this point, unless the forces of .
Gens. Loring. Wise and Floyd meet with re
verses. These Generals, especially the latter '
two, have had to contend with vastly superior
numbers, but we hope this will not be the case
long- Reinforcements have recently been and
are now beingsent from Lynchburg ami Rich
mond to the Western and North-Western Vir
ginia forces, and we hope soon to learn that
tha forces cf Gens- Floyd, Wise and Loring
have been so augmented as to render it prac
ticable for them to march against the enemy,
instead of acting—as they have until now
done—simply on the defensive. We have
troops enough at Lynchburg and Richmond,
who are anxious to enter the field of active
service, to thus augment these forces and still
leave plenty for other fields; and we do ear
nestly hope to hear of their being sent into
Western Virginia, that we may drive the Yan
kees out of these Mountains and beyond the
Ohio River before cold winter sets in. We
don’t like the idea of having to quarter in
these Mountains during the ensuing winter,
which will necessarily be the case unless we
succeed in expelling the Hessians from West
ern Virginia.
We notice with pleasure the name of E A. I
Nisbet at your mast head as a man eminently i
qualified to fill the Executive Chair of Geor
gia. We read with interest Mr. Nisbet’s let
ter of acceptance to the candidacy of Govern
or, ami bid him “ God speed” in the coming
contest. We cannot assist him with our vote,
but our sympathies are .vith him

“ Reorganization.”
[Extract from the Speech of Hon. Alexander
11. Stephens, at the Athenieum, iu Savannah,
on the evening of March 21, 1861.]
We are a young Republic just entering upon
the arena ol nations : we will be the architect
of our own fortunes. Our destiny, under Prov
idence, is in our own hands. With wisdom,
prudence and statesmanship on the part of our
public men, ami intelligence, virtue and pa
triotism on the part oi the people, success, to
the full measure of our most sanguine hopes,
may be looked for. But if we become divided
—if schisms arise—if dissensions spring up—if
factions are engendered—if party spirit, nour
ished by unholy personal ambition, shall rear
its hydra head, I have no good to prophesy for
you. Without intelligence, virtue, integrity
and patriotism ou the part of the people, no
republic or representative Government can be
durable or stable.
We have intelligence and virtue and patri
otism. AU that is required is to cultivate and
perpetuate these. Intelligence will not de with
out virtue. France was a nation of philoso
phers. These philosophers became Jacobins.
They lacked that virtue, that devotion to mor
al principle, and that patriotism which is so
essential to good Government. Organized upon
principles of perfect justice and right—seeking
amity and friendship with all other powers—
I see no obstacle in the way of our upward and
onward progress. Our growth by accessions
from other States will depend greatly upon
whether we present to the world, as I trust we
shall, a better Government than to which they
belong. If we do this, North Carolina, Ten
nessee and Arkansas cannot hesitate long; nei
ther can Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri.—
They will necessarily gravitate to us by an
imperious law. We male ample provision iu
our Constitution fin* the admission of other
Strtes ; it is more guarded, and wisely so, 1
think, than the old Constitution on the same
subject, but not too guarded to receive them as
fast as it may be proper. Looking to the dis
tant future, and, perhaps, not very distant ei
ther, it is not beyond the range of possibility,
and even probability, that all the great States
of the Northwest shall gravitate this way as
well a; Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkan
sas, ic. Should they do so, our doors are wide
enough to receive them, but not until they are
ready to assimilate with us in principle.
The process of disintegration in the old Un
ion may be expected to go on with almost ab
solute certainty. We are now the nucleus of
a growing power, which, if we are true to our
selves, our destiny and high mission will be
come the controlling power on this continent.
To what extent accessions will go on in the
process of time, or where it will end, the fu
ture will determine- So far as it concerns
States of the old Union, they will be upon no
such principle of reconstruction as spoken of,
but upon reorganization and new assimulation.
[Loud applause.] Such are some of the glimpses
of the future as I catch them.
But at first we must necessarily meet with
the inconvenience and difficulties and embar
rassments incident to all changes of Govern
ment. These will be felt in our postal affairs
and changes in the channel of trade. These in
conveniences, it is to be hoped, will be but
temporary, and must be overcome with pa
tience and forbearance.
As to whether we shall have war with our
late Confederates, or whether all matters of
difference between us shall be amicably set
tled, I can only say that the prospect for a
peaceful adjustment is better, so far as I am
infoamed, than it has been.
The prospect of war, is at least not so threat
ening as it has been. The idea of coercion
shadowed forth in President Lincoln’s inaug
ural, seems not to be followed up thus far so
vigorously as was expected. Fort Sumter, it
is believed, will soon be evacuated. What
course will be pursued towards Fort Pickens
and the other forts on the Gulf, is not so well
understood. It is to be greatly desired that all
of them should De surrendered. Our object is
Peace, not only with the North, but with the
world. All matters relating to the public prop
erty, public liabilities oi the Union when we
were members of it, we are ready and willing
to adjust and settle, upon the principles of
right, equality and good faith. War can be of
no more benefit to the North than to us, and
subjugating us is utterly preposterous. Wheth
er the intention of evacuating Fort Sumter is
to be received as an evidence of a peaceful so
lution of our difficulties with the United States,
i or the result of necessity, I will not undertake
[ to say. I would fain hope the former. Rumors
are afloat, however, that it is the result of ne
■ cessity. All I can say to you, therefore, on that
; point is, keep your armor bright and your
I powder dry. [Enthusiastic applause.]
The surest way to secure peace, is to show
i your abil.ty to maintain your rights. The
; principles and position of the present Admin
. istration of the United States—the Republican
party—present some puzzling questions. While
it is a fixed principle with them never to al
; low the increase of a foot of slave territory,
they seem to be equally determined not to part
with an inch “of the accursed soil.” Notwith
standing their clamor against the institution,
they seem to be equally opposed to getting
more or letting go what they have got. They
were ready to tight on the accession cf Texas,
and are equally ready to fight now on her se
cession. Why is this ? How can this strange
paradox be accounted for ? There seems to be
but one rational solution —and that is, not
withstanding their professions of humanity,
they are disinclined to give up the benefits
they derive from slave labor. Their philan
thropy yields to their interest. The idea of
enforcing the laws has but one object, and that
is a collection of the taxes raised by slave la
bor to swell the fund necessary to meet their
heavy appropriations. The spoils is what they
are after—though they come from the labor of
the slave. [Coutinui d applause ]
