We are pleased to see in this engagement an evidence of a restora tion to his wonted health in onr ditin- guished statesman, and are proud that a profession to which we expect to devote all Hie energies of our lives, is to be honored by the accession to its ranks of snch a bright and glorious intellect—Home Courier, 17th.

Stephens has bought an interest in that paper, and will hereafier control and contnoute to its political department The announce ment will be received with peculiar satis faction throughout the Btate. We have long thought that it is a duty which this eminent statesman owes to the people of Georgia to give them the benefit of his wisdom and experience; and especially is this duty landing upou him in the pres ent juncture of National and State af fairs. His known sagacity and conserva tism invest his opinions with singniar weight, and they should not be confined to tho walls of Ijiberty Hall. The con nection of Mr. Stephens with The Sun will immediately place that paper among the leading journals of the South—a dis tinction that will be well deserved.—Sa vannah News, 17th inst Newspaper Change.—We see by the Atlanta Sun that Hon.

Mr. Stephens is one of tno ablest men in the South, and his advent as a journalist is well calculated to create a sensation. The Sun of the 17th inst coutains his salutatory, in which he states that his object is to make that paper “a true organ of the Jeffer sonian priucipleN of the Federal Gov ornment, under which the Peoples of the United Stutes lived in ao great peace, prosperity and happiness for more than half a century.” His purpose ia stated to bo “to advocate Much doctrines as will secure a perpetual aad harmonious union of the States under the Constitution, in the spirit and for purposes for which it was originally made by the fathers; and upon the priueiplch Announced by Jef- fersou, luuiutaiiuH) by Malison, and set forth by Gcu.

An Important Accession.—The Hon. A H. Stephens, one of the brightest in ti fleets and neatest statesmen Georgia has ever produced, has appeared before the public in a new rate—as political ed itor ot the Atlanta Sun—having pnrehas- e<l an interest in, and become one of tho pr 'prietors of that paper. His salutato ry on entering npon duty, appears in S>‘ urday’s issue of that paper. -he “ Fourth Estate” is looking np, and most heartily do we weloome the sage of “Liberty Hall” to tbo ranks of journalism, and congratulate the Sub np on it* good fortune in securing his pow erful aid. His connection with that pa per “means business.” It is not the mere nee of his great name, bnt the an nouncement is made that he will contri bute to eve>7 issue of the paper. This will impart to that already popular paper s degree of interest which will extend its Circulation far and near. The announcement does not take ns by surprise, as we had learned some time ago that Mr. Stephens contemplated en tering the arena of journalism. A bril liant earner awaits him.—Athens Banner, 20 th Jane. . The Savannah News on the New Departure. J That stannch Democratic organ, the Savannah Netcs, of the 20th inst, in pub lishing the Chester county Resolutions, which appeared in .the columns of Tun Sun yesterday, makes the following per tinent editorial comments: In another column we pnblish a scries of resolutions, adopted by toe Democrats of Cheater oonnty, Pa., in which they repudiate toe ninth reeolution of the late Democratio State Convention of that Stnto, and emphatically declare their op position to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, and the unconstitutional legisation of Congress. It will be ob served, also, that the Democratic organs of Westmoreland and Centre counties re pudiate and condemn the new departure of the State Convention, and denounce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend ments aa “fraudulent appendages to tho Constitution," which “it will be the duty of toe Democracy to repeal whenever they get the power to do so." We have good reason to believe that toe resolutions and tho extracts from Pennsylvania Democratic organs which we print, express toe sentiments of a largo majority of the trne Democrats of all sections of the country, North, East and West as well as South. Any other posi tion in referenoc to the flagrant usurpa tions of the Radical party would bo not only opposed to the principles of De mocracy and trne Republicanism, but treason to constitutional government. The now departure, instigated by a few ambitions politicians, eager for office at any sacrifice of principle, will not be ap proved by the majority of the true men ot the oonntry, and if it should result in the disruption of present party organi sations and in inaugurating the trne is- sne, which is properly between central ized despotism and constitutional gov ernment as it was transmitted to ns by our revolutionary sires, thousands who, influenced by the passions, prejudices and apprehensions ^engendered by the late sectional strife, hare acted with the Radical party, will throw off their unnat ural allegiance to that faction and side with toe upholders of tho Constitution snd the rights of the States. Tho question of revolution or restora tion onoe faily before the people, relieved as it will be from toe sectional prejudices by which the popular judgment has been deluded, and we are strong in onr faith that there is yet patriotism, honosty, virtue, and intelligence enongh in the American people to bring onr more than half revolutionized Government back to its pristine Repnblioan purity. At any rate we prefer to make toe test. We are unwilling to voluntarily accept revolution in onr system of government which the Radicals havo attempted to force upon us. Let the issue bo plainly and fairly made, andifaconsoldated des potism is to be erected upon the ruins ot the Constitutional Union of States, we will be bettor prepared to “aocept toe situation” after the verdict of toe people has been obtained. Till then we should accept nothing. A Terrible 'Horse Disease, ■Within a few weeks past an alarm ing and fatal malady has made its ap pearance in the stables of some of the New York city railroad lines. The Sun says: “It recently showed itself among the horses of the Second Ave nue line, where there have been over one hundred and thirty cases, al though not more than about twelve have as yet proved fatal. The first symptoms are manifested in the slow and sluggish movement of the hind quarters, and in stumbliug. It is a disease of the membranes over the spinal marrow, and beginning appa rently over the lumber verterbras, ef fectually paralyzes the hind quarters. The distemper gradually works itself along the spinal cord uutil it reaches the brain, when the fore legs give way and tho horse is deprived of the use of his limbs. The horse continues to eat and drink as heartily as though he was well; his appetite secerns to increase rather than diminish as the disease advances. There is no effec tual remedy for this frightful malady yet discovered. A gentleman in West chester county, out of seven fine horses, has lost five; another gentle man on Long Island, the owner of many, fast trotting horses, lias lost six from thedisease, valued at 80,000. It may be noticed as a singular coin cidence that cerebrospinal meningitis; though not of a malignant form, is prevailing extensively in many parts of Virginia.”
