Stephens* The Atlanta New Era publishes the following correspondence in refereuoe to the case of Mr. Stephens: Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 26, 1865 Hon B H BigHam —Dear Sir : I ob serve in this morning’s Telegraph column, another item to the effect that Mr. Ste phens had been released from prison, and would be allowed ro return 10 his home in Georgia But, that similar announce ments have heretofore been made and proven erroneous, I should not have ad dressed yon this communication. Knew iug that you have but rejeutly returned from Washington, where you have bad personal interviews with President John Sun, and some members of his Cabinet, in common with almost every Citizen ot the Southern Staiss, as well as a large num ber wbo reside in all parts of the Union, I desire to if, in your interviews with the Heads of the Government, there is no gleam of hope for Mr. Biephens’s release Many cannot understand how it is, that Mr. Stephens, who is in feeble health and unused to a c >ld oiimste, and who has, ter many years, been .compelled to spend the severer winter months at hia home in middle Georgia, is kept near the coast, in the cold climate of Fort War ren. When it is remembered with what earnestness and ability Mr. Stephens op posed the policy of Secession, and espe cially his efforts to prevent Geoigia from taking that step, his great speech in Mil lcdgeville before the Oonvention, against secession, one of the sublimest efforts ever made before any deliberative body., and now, that the war is over, peace made, nißn everywhere returning to their allegi ance—it is difficult to understand why suoh a conservative aud able man as Mr Stephens, is kept in prison, end civil aud military officials, who lent all their official and personal influence tn bring about Se cession, are pardoned and allowed to go at large, and breath the pure air of free dom. Is there no plan to avoid any technical obstacles to his release V Surely Mr. Se ward, the great diplomat of the age, can devise some mode ? Could not Air Ste phens, voluntarily (now tnat it is so in fact) abdicate , if this term expresses the idea, or in some way, manifest bis abaol venoe from the Vice Presidency of the so called Confederacy ? But, it heoannot bo pardoned, can he not be paroled ? Every man and woman in Georgia will stand tecurity, that he will, in no way, violate its conditions. The people want Mr. Stephens at homo to giv3 them advice at the State Convention. They will listen to his words of wisdom now- We have had a sad experience, and paid dearly for our present/raws of mind Now, that we are to form our new Constitution and re sume our old place in the Union—let us have Mr. Stephens at home. It would be the climsx to President Johnsons’s aots of kindness to the people who were taught to expeot so much cruelty and harehuese at his bands. The people all know Mr. Stephens to be purs and housSt in private life, as well as a wise and far-seeing statesman. His release from prison would send a thrill of joy through every Southern heart and kindle the liveliest hope of re stored peace,jharmony and Union. Surely the Government will not, for any light cause, allow this great and good man to perish by iuohes in the oold wails of a prison, when ha could do so much good— not only to Georgia, but the broad Union itself. He is not a seotional man—be has enlarged views—oapaoity to appreciate, and patriotism to work for the best inter est ot the whole Union. What oan be done in his behalf V Hoping to hear from you at your ear liest convenience, I remain yours truly, Guo. W. Adair. LaGrangb, Ga , Sept. 27, 1865. Geo. W. Adair, Esq. : Dbab Sir—ln reply to yours of 26tb inst., which has just come to hand, I state that during my recent visit to Washing ton, 1 had the honor to submit to the President a petition in behalf of Mr. Stephens, in substance as follows : “To His Excellency Andrew Johnson, President of the United. States : At the time when Alexander H. Ste phens retired from the public service of the United States, a few years since, he had been longer a member of the House of Representatives tban any other person bolding a seat in tbat body. It is true that there were some who did not entirety COLUMBUS, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 30, 18(15. agree with him iu sentiment, but no mau was iisteued to with more profound at tention, and there were none who ques tioned the pure integrity of his motives, or who doubted the great value of bit, voice iu the councils of the naiion. Thus, for weary years, did he give to his oouu try the effectual labors of the prime and vigor of his manhood The physical con ditiou of Mr. Stephens is, at best, but frail. The labors ab >va rofeviel to so unremittingly aud patriotically rendered by him, made great drafts upon the pow ers both of his intellect and his body, so that it is believed to he dangerous for him to remain in a climate so damp aud so far North as Fort Warren.. He needs at (his time the quiet repose which home alone affords. Your Exoallenoy having long been in the publio service yourself has eoj >yeu means of knowing the character of Mi*s Stephens, and you cannot doubt, hut tha. he will carefully observe any parole you may see fit, in due regard to your sense of duty as chief magistrate of the Union, to place him under. Will you not therefore consider the rap reseutations herein made, togathar with the many representations and petitions which other friends have made tu his he half, and his eminent worth as a man, and grant hint a permit to return to hi* home tu Georgia, sui-jeot to any order your Excellency may hereafter see tit to issue in the premises.” In submitting this petition, well know ing the strong current of sympathy aud admiration that exists for Mr. Btophens, (so forcibly referred to in your letter,) 1 reminded the President that I could as well bring five hundred thousand uigoa tures to it as one. Upon his saying that he doubted the correctness of the stats ment as to the oorapat alive leugiti of Mr Stephens’ public service’, I replied iha> it might be modified then to terms which no man speaking in the light ..f history would question so ao to bet. forth that for along series of years Mr. Stephens baa rendered service, which was its effectual for good as national, aye as ooutinsatal in its character as that of any tua ■ who has figured in the public councils for the last half century, and that bis health was impaired by that service. The President said, in substance, that he appreciated the services referred to ; lhat the Govern ment would give due cousideratiun to the matters involved iu his case, and in due time Meanwhile he desired it under stood that every attention was pai 1 to faiu health at Fort Warren, and that bo was trealed considerately aud humanely. The conversation then took wider range Tne President, referring to the fact that ax Governors Brown and Johnson, aud Judge Linton Stephens bad reoenily had interviews with him on tue subject, said he thought Mr. Stephens himself quite capable of presenting his own case ; but that his friends nevertheless urged hia tetease with great pertinacity and euhei hide. To that I replied, that, if indeed Mr Stephens was at ihal" ftme silent, I had no explanation to offer as 1 had had no communication with him fur some time—that I spoke in behalf of myself as oris of his friends, a,id of thousands in the country whose hearts would bound with joy at the release of the great statesman. The President closed this couferenea with out any promise and without any encour agement. A few days afterwards, having received letters from Mr. Stephens (who has heard of my presence in Washington but did not know at the petition), also one from Judge Lintoa Stephens who is now, by permission of the authorities, spending some time with his brother in Fort War ren I again called upon the President to present some additional views therein set forth, together with reflections suggested The President received me kindly. I referred to his remain in the previous conference about Mr. Stephens’s capability to speak for himself and proposed to read one of the letters. To this he assented, which being done, I endeavored to urge that the eonditiau of the frea.iiaon on his place, and the fact that Mr. Stephens had been acting in a fiduetary capacity, saoii as guardian, administrator, Sc., and had been attorney for many persons in im portant oases made, his temporary pres enoe at home important to the interests of others I also referred to the fact so eloquently touched upon in your letter, that he had resisted secession with a sub lime courage, and that now he is the only political prisoner from Georgia; that his health is feeble and we would feel it an additional favor for him to be released before the departure of Judge Stephens so that be might accompany and a.-:sist him on the route home. The President did not terminate this conference so ab ruptly as the former one. in its progress he said, “the Government, he trusted, did not forget the sacrifices of any public servant, that indeed it would scorn bard if in the day of misfortune such sacrifices should not be permitted to plead for him ; but that there was a time for all things, which h 8 hoped the friends of Mr. Bte phens would understand and duly appre ciate That acting a3 chief magistrate, he must have a due regard to the general tranquility aud the good of the whole country I also had interviews and correspond ence with several members of the Cabinet on the subject, who expressed themselves With magnanimity ; but nevertheless with some reticence and statesmanlike circum spection on the subject. The Secretaries of War and of the Navy were absent from the city ; and, as my own stay mss neo essarily brief (being called back to Geor gia on public business deemed by me of importance at once to be performed), I did not see either of them. When I left Washington confident hopes were entertained that the petition would be granted in a very short time, especial ly as a temporary parole had just bean s lowed to Mr. Hunter, to return to Vir ginia. I turned over the papers to Ex- Governor Johnson who has doubtless urged every consideration toe ease re quires, prudently but earnestly and effi ciently (far more so than I could) upon the mini of the Prisident A patition was also expected from the North in Mr. Stephens’s behalf. I have since been in formed that such an one headed by gx- Mayor Opdyke and other liberal minded Republicans had been prepared and for warded Thus in reply to your kind enquiries, 1 have endeavored suooinctly to set forth a statement, of facts bearing immediately upon the question of release of Mr. Sle- phens, so far as they have fallen under my obaorvaiidu. I ihiuk 1 discover iu those facts grounds for a cheer lul confi dence that even if the telegram to whtoh you refer is not really true, it will never theless, not be long before this gifted citizen will be allowed to breathe the in vigorating air of his native bills, which nas so often heretofore restored hiui to health. I fully share iu ail the sentiments of high r. gard for Mr. (Stephens, which you so feelingly set forth. In these senti meuis you and 1 are uot aloue. Whilst the President will find amougat his friends as Holtu and reliable supporters aa he will find anywhero in the Union, there are thousands wbo oauuol help feeling, to say the least of it, a slight seuse of injustice at his present condition. Ido uot think 1 misconceive the great heart ot the na tion wtieu 1 and y4rtfeMN.qlMkjdh-.of America fautot - h 1 rid ay,7ypa!lv upon hioi. They will rejoice to witness the exercise of oleroency in his ease ; aud the administration could do no aet that would fall go gratefully upon the publio mind in Georgia, or yield so muoh pleasure to the friends of lbo distinguished prisoner as the granting of this petition except to ?raut hint full amnesty aud pardon,which l hope, in due time will bed >ue. 1% however, the release of Mr. S-e --phen.-is not soon realized, it may be be came ot rem.ssaoss iu iiis ftinds, and especially the press, in not giving expres sion to that sentiment which wo know pervades the country; but whioh has been hitherto unexpressed in deterenoe to out novel national situation. To avoid ail grounds of self-reproach, let us speak out respectfully to the government, but frankly, and ia a respectful spirit, as be comes men aud citizens of the Untied States, to the end that, if failure occurs, it shall not tie at, the doer of any one of 113 Bit failure will not occur. Wbatthe fitends of .Mr. Stephens uuw ask is a meritorious petition, and we shall yet le jaios together. Inclosing, p raiit me io express tbe gratification 1 experience at the result of toy observations during my raoeut visit North. Tin re is a magnanimity and a disposition to cement the reorganization >f the Union tn the strong bonds of friendship on the prrt of the President, aud his administration. There is a mag oar,imity amongst the people; and with the exception of a few fanatics who still urge extreme measures, they all admire the gallantry of our Southerners, and are willing to do ns justice. They say our fall it is pledged, and they will c onside in our tide,ltiy. We will not disappoint such confidence. Yours very truly and respectfully, B. H. Bigham. Tiit Proposed Mammoth Gxprtll C 001 |j»« »ay. Dispatches to the Cincinnati papers of the 21st give fuller particulars of this project than fhoae furnished us yester day : The Richmond Whig says the meeting oi capitalists, on Monday oveniug, to or ganize a great National and International Express Company, was large in numbers auu tv.presentation of capital. Han. W. il McFarland acted as ohairman, and J. A. Gowatdtn as secretary. In afe w min utes the sum of one hundred and fifty-four thousand, seven hundred dollars was sub scribed 'The sum to be subscribed iu Richmond ta to be limited to $250,000, of a maximum capital of $500,000, The remaining $260,000 aro to ba taken in the Northern States. Governor Pierpont subscribed $5,000, eliciting much ap plause. Among those prosent and sub scribing wa3 the Confederate General Echols. Iu organizing the National Ex press Company it is proposed that its officers and employees shall be offioers and soldi at sos the armies of the United States and the late Confederate States. In fits Northern States, offioers and sol diers of the United States army, and in die Southern mates, offioers and soldiers of the late Confederate States army. At the head of the oompany two highly qualified and competent offioers of both t-ruties will be plaoed. The object is to give employment to many of the gallant and brave men now out of employment, and whose families are almost, if not en tirely, destitute of support, as well as to establish an affinity of interest between the two sections. Crops and Labor in Texas. The Galveston Neua, of the 18th says: A gentleman, well known to ua for his accurate observation and truthfulness, is just from the lower Cruaffalupa country, lie informs us that the planters there are generally muoh disoeuragaJ. The large number of negro troops of late quartered tn that region have had a most demoral izing influence upon all plantation ne groes, many of whom have left, while others are daily leaving, and those tfiat remain are idle, discontented and disobe dient. Some plantations are entirely deserted, and their crops totally lost, between the want of labor to cultivate them and the worm, which has been very destructive tin the oottoo. few are offering half the cotton left, to get the other half picked.
