Joshua Hill were candidates, upon the platform of endorsement of the Administration and representation of the Union-conservative sentiment of the State. TlieLegislature as it repre sented the popular feeling, was divided in choice between Aleck H. Stephens, Heracliel V. Johnson, Gen. John B. the Covington calaboose last Tuesday Gordon ami Gen. L. J. Gartrell, nml nindit On Wednesdnv mornimr he i.„ ,i culled upon the Marshal for his | “script.” He was laboring under the impression that lie had been looked up in the jury room because a verdict could not be found. —The Hartwell Sun says there is a woman living in Hart county “who has • live distinct breasts—three on one side of her chest and two on the other.

This inhibition of such use of it is ex plicit and emphatic. I wish it so un derstood by all. As willingly as I would yield my own contrary incli nations to what I am assured is the general and unanimous wish of the Legislature In this respect, if I saw any prospect of my being able, by thus yielding, to render any essential service to the people of Georgia ; and as earnestly desirous as 1 am for a speedy restoration of civil law, per fect peace, harmony and prosperity throughout the whole country, yet, under existing circumstances, I do not see such prospect of the availabili ty of my services to these ends in any public position. Moreover, so fur as l am personally concerned, I do not think it proper or politic that the election should be ]>ost]>oiuHl with any view to a probable change of present circumstances or a probable change of my position on tliesubjictand I do trust that no member will give even a com plimentary vote to me in the elec tion. Yours truly, Alexander H. Stephens.” The letter caused considerable com motion in the Legislature, and mat ters stood undecided until the 29th of January, when the following corres pondence took place. In the mean time, people and press lmd been call ing on Stephens to enter the race. Few men have ever hud such press ure to withstand. It culminated in the letters below : THEIR CHOICE ANYHOW.
