I have seen many Radicals who sincerely
and heartily deprecate the state of allair?, and
express the hope that things may be soon ami
cably adjusted. Many of that class are giving
liberally to the South in her distress. Up to
this time I’ve had no word spoken to mo to

d-.iing more. The worthy editor offers to assist
me in any way willingly. He deals radicalism
j and weak-knoedism some heavy blows. This
{hiper has a very wide circulation in this State,
: and is the leading organ of the Democracy.
Toledo, Ohio, from whence my last letter
I was written, is a strong hold of the Radicals,
I though I met many warm friends there. I
: went before, tiie Board of Tiade of that city on
| last Monday, and was introduced by Mr. Den-
| nison B. Smith, a good Democrat and a warm
friend to the South. Most of the members
' were Radicals, though the chairman, Mr. Chas.
King, a strong Radical, appointed a committee,
of which he was made a member on motion, to
i solicit contributions. The committee, Messrs.
! King, Sinclair and Howard, were all radicals,
but gentlemen of kind hearts. Thc two first
{ j named gave me $50 each, and the last as much
j in proportion to his means. I met Maj. Gen.
j Fuller, whom the writer has met on the battle
j field. He received me in a spirit of kindness,
| and as an earnest of kindly feeling, gave me
ten dollars. The General did not improve his
fortune much during the war. The only injury
the Radicals offered me wfiile there was a drink
of whisky. I informed them I would tell my
people when I reached home. One of the bit
terest men I met was a Copperhead by the
name of Young. But his bittdfftcss was prompt
ed from pure stinginess. Good pity the pool-
old man!
Have you seen anything of one Judge Kelley
passing Newnan in liis flight from Mobile?—
Stop the poor fellow. Tell him the citizens of
Newnan will not harm him. I’m sorry the
riot occurred in Mobile, not that I have any
admitted into the folds of the Union. When
this consummation takes place, we are to have
all the ills that flesh is heir to removed from
our desolated country—for it is expected by
some that our loving masters will soon take
the elements in their own hands, and cause
our barren fields to bring forth bales of cotton
meal, and any quantity of sugar-cured hams
•and lay them down at every man’s door. To

in another was a glass book case, crammed with
manuscripts in great disorder, aud over against
one of the walls was a cot which I afterward
learned belonged to a little negro boy about
twelve years of age named “Tim,” who acts as
body servant for Mr. Stephens. The floor was j bora,
covered with a faded carpet which had never ;
been either luxurious or expensive. The man- j
tlepiece was strewn with “euchre decks” and
“whist decks,” and here and there a pipe and j
ready fur market, barrels of flour, sacks of j tobacco box for the use of visitors, who are cer
tain to be invited to take u smoke. On the |
hearth rug in front of .Mr. Stephens, there were
if I recollect right, three dogs—tolerably large
ones, too—indulging in a quiet snooze. Such
what he says is poor land. The whole would
not bring over ?3,000, he thinks ; but he would
not sell it ter any money, as it is an old home
stead which was settled first by liis grandfath
er in 1795. His father was obliged to sell it
shortly before liis death, but he, soon after liis
father’s death, was able to buy it back again.

their acts of tyranny aud revolution. But if
we show ourselves a wicked and perverse gen

proposed, then we arc threatened with still
greater calamities, even to the visitation of all
the plagues of Egypt. Our people are not all
frightened by such threats, or led away by
empty promises, and ok! Heary will show on
the day of trial a goodly number who are not
willing to sell tlieir birthright for a mess of

say that they greatly prefer our present milita

the mongrel feast to which we are invited. In
this advanced age of the world, when light and
knowledge have penetrated to the darkest cor

Southern people to endure all the indignities
that were ever invented in the dark ages of the
world. But let us endure and hope, and if
the poisoned chalice must be placed to our lips,
let other hands commit the deed that we may

pen and ink photograph of Mr. Stephens is not : aristocrat, or more of a republican. He takes
easy to conceive—such a one, I mean, as would
present him to the reader’s mind anything
like what he really is, in personal appearance.
His face, at first glance, is tne face of a boy,
with a few wrinkles iu it. There is neither
strength, age, nor force of character in the fea
tures. His complexion is pale, with a sallow
tinge on the cheeks—the skin seems soft and
delicate as a child’s ; and there is not the sign
of beard or whisker, nor the use of a razor to
prevent them, liis small mouth and his thin,
livid lips set physiognomy at naught, with
those who know him as an orator. But what
little interest in parties, except as they pro
mote the cause to which he is so warmly at
tached, and views all questions as a philoso
pher rather than as a politician.
