Rome’, Ga., Dec 19, 1884.
Editor Courier:—Jitrewith I
send you the promised copv of Mr.
Stephens letter to lion. 11. V.
Johnson.
Since your interview with me
vesterday, and upon further re
flection and the examination of
some other letters, I am now satis
fied that the letter which General
Sherman has gotten possessi-m of
J.j MPf-Lof earlier .late th.-n I thpngM
and was written to Gov. Johnson,
some tune in April, 1864. It is
the conlidential letter spoken of in
the letter I now send ynu, and
hence the greater propriety of the
publication of the latter, the for
mer having .been piven to the pub
lic in the way it was.
Yours ti uly,
W. H. 111 DELL.
Crawfordville. Ga.,
June 19, 1864
My Deal Sir:—lour letter of
the 30ih. ulr. was received some
week or more ago, but at the time
it came to hand there was so much
uncertainty when Congress would
adjourn, or when a letter would
most probably reach you, that I
determined not to write until the
adjournment and then address you
at your ’residence. Congress, I sec
by the papers, did actually adjoiy, rn
last luesday, and I
letter will reach you by op about
the time of your arrival at homie.
1 was deeply impress? J t p
your letter, and truly o’ji ge( ( to
you for informing me o f the Ves
’narks that were nwic touching
my return by ihosc in the cars
by persons in Richiv ond. I thiZk
lam different fiom most men /j n
this, that I feel tr uly obliged Ito
every pei-son wh<> gives me infor
mation of the unfavorable ccAjh
ments or cei’cure of others, either
upon my co’adiict or motives. N4,r
do I now, ns L once did, feel angrjy
or rutlle.d in temper even againsy
those who give utterance to suclik
expressions. The woild is a mir-’
ror, and by its reflection back
upon itself, a person can most ea
sily detect and correct errors and
defects. As a lady should feel
under obligations to any one who
should inform her of a speck upon
her face, or some irregularity in
her dress, not observed by herself
on entering a ball room, so should
a man feel a like sense of obliga
tion to all who make criticisms
upon his conduct or motives,
whether kind or unkind, and es
pecially observations of the latter
class, for *hcy arc generally the
more sincere, whether true or fal-e
And it is also much more impor
tant for a person to be informe I of
blemishes, defects, or errors, in a
word, of bad qualities, than of
good, for these, if they exist,
ought to be corrected, ami a wise
person will sec to it, when the at
tention is directed to that quarter,
that they are. Excuse this long
digression. 1 give it to illustrate
my character, Unit you may know
that such letters as yours are never
unwelcome to me, and you need
never offer any apology for them.
As to the remarks that were
made either in the cars or out of
them, I can only say that I sincer
ely regret that my conduct should
have given rite to them. My rea
sons for returning, f thought were
good and sufficient, and still think
so, though in this I may be wrong.
Y’ou were in possession of all of
them except one. That was that
Congress had disposed virtually, as
appeared in 'he papers, of the only
question of great interest that I
thought would likely be before
them, to wit, the Habeas Corpus
question. But for that I shou’d
not have gone to Richmond ir. my
then state of health, I will barely
add that you nor any one could
judge it f|K>m my appearance.
* * * * *
The improper motives that any
may attribute to me for it did not
exist The attributing of such im - ,
tiws 1 regret. I also regret that
my not reaching Richmond was
the source of disappointment or re
gret to iny friends. As to its be
ing a source of gratification to
those who were dispose! to criti
cise my motives censoriously and to
look uion it as “confirmation of

but little to Fay , That ]ittle
this. I really do noC know and can
not undcrstai d what is meant bv
c mfii mation of my hostility to the
adminstration. If i f j s mcar.t to
identify the administration with
tiiooc acts of Congress reviewed
and commented cn by me at Mil
led-tvihc and to make the support
of those measmes test of oppo
sition to the administration, then,
-crtainly no additional evidence
was wanting to define my position
on that issue. To those acts and
the policy w hi c h they , {l>e found _

f'He>er, and to every adix inistra

support of these measures is the
issue the administration pre-se. nts,
then let there be no doubt—let no
additional evidence be song?f afte r
lam hostile to them uq»\. and for
ever.
N.i\, more, I liage a word fur
ther to say in this connection. Jf
the meaning is i ink thcsG lnea£j

of those principle.- be the cause in
which we are stiuggling, my indif
ference to it is caused only by my
deep hostility, detestation and
loathing of them being equaled
and counterbalanced by a like hos
tility, detestation and loathing of
the like principles of the enemy in
seeking "Orrr suijjrigallOM by sub
verting ami overthrowing the liber

turn on my heel to choose between
despotisms or masters. So much
for that class of critics on my con- j

assure you that this class of men 1
will never get between me and the ■
country, between the people and *
their true cause, and make such an
tissue, if 1 can prevent it. That
xhey want to do it, that it is their
liim and object to do it. I feel quite
cmrtain: and that they may do it in
th® midst of the clangor of arms is
no® improbable, but they shall nev

You express the opinion that tire’
Habeas Corpus su.qx nsion will be- ]
extended to the ead of the session
of Congress or perhaps to the end. ,
of the war. This, result you at j
tribute to the tone of disapproba- ..
tion expressed by Georgia and
North CaroliuiL towards that act. j
Allow me to to you that in this; j
I think vou _<re mistaken. I mean 5
in attributing its extension to such '
cause. N o such thing. I have ■
not been ut all surprised at the
feeling manifested on this subject
by the adyocatesof the measure in
Congress. It is the nature of
power- V/hen an inch is given an
ell is taken. The only way to
meet its. first insidious e.Tcrdach
meiits successfully is with a hold'
unyielding defiance Whoever dal

i down. That was the only sure
I way to do it. How it may now re-
• suit, time must disclose. I regar
; | ded the act as but an entering
- wedge.
, One word about Gov. Bfown.
t Aby he had not sent on the (feor
t gia resolutions, I do not ’know,
i Perhaps he Lad, and somn miscar
riage of the mails attended th m,
B|rbapsjif) not : 3
sen 1 them. On this point I do
not recollect. But his motive in
withholding them, if he had not
Sant them, could not, I think, be
such as you say had been attribu
ted to him by some. The resolu
tion expressing “undiminished con
fidence” in the President wa-, I
think, not connected* with either
set of resolutions on publib affairs—
cither the Habeas or Corpus Peace
resolutions. It was a distinct and
separate resolution. This is my
remembrance, and if lam ri’dit
in it, he could have withheld it if
he chose, and sent on the others.
But, then I do not think Gov.
Brown regarded either that resolu
tion or .’'be others in the light you
seem to t/uuk he did. I judge by
myself. I Viink L took as much
interest in the* passage of the Ha
beas Corpus r anybody
did or could, anti I assure yen' such
an idea as having them passed as u
censure of the never
crossed my mind. Higher and
greater objects by far occupied and
filled and absorbed my thoughts.
These related to the well fare 0*
millions living and millions unborn
—transcendently beyond m impor
tance the insignificant considera
tion of the position or popularity
of any num, living or dead. To
suppose that any one under such
circumstances could have been act-
i tinted by such a motive, on such an
occasieiG. is jdniost as humiliadng
to human nature, as to suppos
that Gen. Washington in his speech
Ito the army upon the subject of
the appeal that had been made to
them to take tlid redress of their
wrongs in their own hands, had
been influenced by no higher or
better motive than to censure and
put down the supposed author of
I the appeal! I question if poor
! Armstrong (I. believe • that was the
mime of the supposed author) en
lered Washington's mind. Davis
certainly did not enter mine, and I
'I doubt whether Brown thought of
' him in this connection. I only
I judge of him by nijself. I was
with him a good deal and did not
1 hear him mention Mr. Davis in
ii connection with any such view.
Moreover, the resolution co'npli
\ menting the President, to which
' you refer, was introduced by a
warm advocate of the action of the
j majority- It was shown to me
before it was offered and I had
not the slightest objection to its
" passage, nor do I suppose that Gov.
,i Brown had. It is true I should
not have voted for it, as small a
t compliment as it was, lor my con
fidence in him had been diminished
<i It was not, however, entirely lost.
. And as the facts that had dimin
ished it in me were not known to
• others, and as they were not suffi
cient to justify one in coming to
I the conclusion that he had actually
.i forfeited either mine or the public
| confidence I was perf'-etly willing*
for all to vote for she resolution
j who could, and it passed without a
dissenting vote. One object stated
.• to me for offering the resolution
t j was to rebut the idea that the m: -
'i jority resolutions were intended as
j a censure of the President, and in
this view I thought it verv well
that the resolution should pass.
Gov. Brown did not approve Presi
i dent Davis' agency in procuring
the passage of the act or his sane
, tion of it. This I think I venture
Ito affirm from his message. I cer-
• tainly did not, but a reproof of
• him, or censure of him, was not
: the object of the resolution. Far
j from it. That was a work looking
i to a far higher, gi eater, nobler ob
jects.
One other remark, and I will
bring this long letter, much longer
than I intended when I commenced
to a close. In speaking of the
i President and your interview with
. him you say you have no doubt of
' his siceiety and that you are equal
-Ily confident of his being patriotic.
Y ou then ado: “I know you do not
award to him this much, but I
think you do him injustice.” I
should have liked this phraseology
better if you had said: “1 know
that on this point yon have doubts,
but I think you are mistaken in
your suspicion.” I k ?tU u on a f< ?i -
• met occasion, told you frankly,and
' confidentially, what I thought of
_ i the President. In that letter I
11 I”' - you that I was in doubt as to
! Lis aims and objects. I gave you
my reasons, but stated distinctly
* ; that my mind was not made up.
t This I wish yen to understand is
‘ ’ the truth of the case. lam still in
. - d v nbt, still undecided whether his
j errors, which are numerous in my
; opinion, spring entirely from the
j huvd or whether some do not come
I the heart. 1 have watched
, i hr® course anxiously lately to satis
.Ify my mind on this point. It is
i painfully disagreeable to me to be
‘ compelled to suspect his patriotism
I b’Jj| facts force such reflections,
I surmises Or suspicions, call them
you. will, upon my mind. I
,; wtiS' in liopesthat he would" at'tho
pate session say something that
would settle these doubts ami satis
fy’ me that I was wrong and doing
him injustice in iny previous sus
picions, but he has not. No hu
man heart ever bounded with more
sincere joy than mine would at
anything coming from him that
would remove those impressions.
( B it, on the contrary, what he has
said and done at the late session,
and is doing, only tend to strength
en my suspicions. He knew that
not only myself, but thousands of
other good and true citizens of the
Republic were growing jealous of
their rights and apprehensive of
the tendencies of the measures of ;
Government, as well as the aims
and objects of its chief magistrate.
This was a fine field opened up to
him to disabuse these apprehen- '
sions. He did not avail himself of
it. He only urges harmony on .
measures on which he knows there
can be no harmony, because they
are believed to tend towaids des— '
potism. He gives no argument, or :
sophistry even, that thev will not,
per even ar. assurance that they ,
arp not intended so to end. lie
uses i? one ol ‘ liIS messages sonic
terms on' B ie subject, which sound
verv mitclr -like similar phrases in 1
Mexican lUamfestos concluding :
with the nsusl cant of “God and '
Libe ty!” I m.’iy be wrong in my ,
suspicions. I* hope 1 am. I shall
rejoice any day to I'-ec the evidence
that I am. But Ite B you iity-SUS--
picions are sincere. J am still,
however ready to give Hie Presi
dent my cordial support and warn)
co-operation in measures * ich I
think tends to the .defense of the
- i
< rpenJencc and the maintenance
of our constitutional rights. But
greatly fear these are not the ob
jects lie is aiming at, and 1 certain
ly’ shall not defend, support or
countenance any measure which I
do not think tends to these ends.
My kind regards to Mrs. John

A Fight With Moonshiners.
T’wo cf Them Killed.
A desperate fight took place last
night betwec n ten and eleven
o’clock in the Dunegan settlement,
eight miles front Gainesville, be
tween Deputy 'CoiJecters J. B.
Gaston, M. Van Esieg mid Reve
nue Agent Lofland, anti *a gang of
mocusfiiners, headed by Srg An
derson Grant, Prater anti -Little
Anderson Grant, three no tions
moonshiners.
After detailing the discovery/A li
the locality’ of the moonshiners, t be j
account proceeds:
Knowing that the moonshiners* |
had had sufficient time to gather a ’
large crowd, Prater was sent to
Gainesville after the sheriff and a
posse. The sheriff could nut be
found, but Mr. James A. Findley,
Jesse Davis. John Marlin and
other gentlemeii volunteered their
services, and after arming them
selves to the teeth went at fine
tilt to the scene of the conflict.—
While the recruits were goimr to
the assistance, the little boy who ■
was at the team told the g .mtlemen
that Big Anderson Grant rode
Mr. Gaston’s horse off an 1 that a
man named Prater and little An
derson Grant were with him. The
revenue men knew that Big An
derson Grant was a terrible and |
desperate man, and that at that ;
very moment he was scouring the |
country on Air. Gaston's horse for (
guns, pistols ami moon sir n era to
help him in the midnight slaugh
ter. They knew, too, that he
could get a good crowd* As soon
as the posse arrived froui Gaines
ville, they together with Gast ,n,
Prater and the others, started down
the road. They heard the moon
shiners coming, and befote either 1
party knew the close proximity to j
which they were they weie face te ■
face. Big Anderson. Grant, who :
was only a few feet fiom John j
/ , I
Martin, began tiring at him but
failed to hit him. Grant then took
the butt of his gun and knocked
Martin senseless, breaking the gun.
From this the tight became gener
al and shot after shot was exchang
ed. Three or four of the moon
shiners deserted and ran away.—
Big Anderson Grant was shot
dead, also Moonshiner Prater.—
Both are reckless moonshiners, and
have had several cases made out I
against them.
When the moonshiners saw their ;
leaders fall dead they got away as
fast as possible. The revenue men
returned to Gainsville as soon as
possible, where they fonnd young
Estes pretty badly used up. Mr.
Martin's injuries are very painful,
but not thought tc be serious. It j
is believed that the moonshiners I
killed Mr. Gaston’s horse. Mr. i
Gaston came down to the city this
morning and is unscratched, though '
he was inthe thickest of the battle. .

The God that We Know,
Mr. Beecher spoke in Plymouth
Church on Sunday, on the concep
tion and the understanding of God.
Some of the things he sai 1 in the
sermon are given below:
Theologians have thought out
God, and what a miserable mess
they have made of it! The creeds
and catechisms that represent God
are very much like the children’s
efforts at mt. They give to their
representations of animals stiff
wooden arms and legs. The God
of the creeds is very much a wood
en God.
Our personal and most vivid con
ceplions of God spring from the
feeling and the imagination.
The two things that have been
most despised in the realms if
theological learning are, after all,
God’s chosen instruments of ma
king known to us what He is—
feeling to suggest quality; imagina
tion to work quality up into por
traiture. The result is soi\e ap
proach toward an understanding c*f
God, but nevtr the > } fc’ y
The longing of men for suuliwi
knowledge of God as men have of
each other we all know exists. It
is the complaint that men make
when they begin to turn their eyes
toward positive religion—they
can’t think of God; He is unthinka
ble to them: an evanescent wreath;
He is a Great shining something be
yond their recognition.
We are all the time measuring'
men of genius by the lower forms
—what are called pragmatical men;
who work and grind fodder for
themselves and other animals.
The upper understand the under;
the under don't understand the up
per in life. Well, no other law
exists as respects the understanding
of God. He is too far above you.
The alphabet of understanding of
this world is incompetent to spell out
the attributes of the eternal, the
omnipresent Jehovah.
No man can form an adequate
conception of God who is not god
like. All right living, and all
high and noble dispositions in one’s
self and among men are the
I materials that are upon the palette
; for /he imaging of God.

Eczema!
' Eczema is one of the ugliest and

s’cs. Jt .proceeds from humors in

Three commercial travellers,
meeting at a Virginia hotel one
winter evening, had a hearty sup
per together. Supper over, the
three found some difficulty in al
lotting their respective shares of
the bill; but one of them at length
cut short the dispute by proposing
that whosoever had the ‘‘oldest
name’’ among them should go free, 1
the expenses being halved by the
other two. Tins amendment being
promptly accepted, No. 3 produced
a card inscribed -‘Richard Eve.”
No. 2 trumped with “Adam
Brown.” Then No. 3 a portly
veteran with a humorous gray eye,
laid down his card with the quiet
confidence of a great general mak

ii.arsed with a chuckle, “I don't

name was, Mr. B. G'tmijig.”

We have heard both Democrats

nothing better for a cough than
Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup; this old
reliable remedy never fails to cure

the sores disappeared, his throat

using it as a tonic for general de
