I know from experience in early life the feelings of a youth desirous of ed ucating himself without the means to do so; and the good fortune which a loan o^money for support while en gaged in study was considered a* con ferring upon the recipient. I recollect very well; too, that prudence dictated an ecqpoiqicnl Course so as to incur no more indebtedness than was act ually , necessary. .1 preferred to live plainly and cheaply, and study hard; rather than he too much loaded with debt; but I considered myself very fortunate when I was able to borrow the amount actually necessary for tlie prosecution • of my studies even to a limited extent.

The conversation was of a general na ture, aud he seemed in a most talka tive humor. We found him quite an encyclopedia on crops, and could give the yield of different years for a half Century past. In speaking of his new history he stated that he had yet about two weeks’ work to do thereon. He hod got down to the administration ojf President Grant, and it would require two more chapters to conolude it. Prof. Butherford, who had joined thq party, asked if it was a political work? “No, not'exactly,” was the . reply, “blit you know it is hard for me tq write a book, without wedging in. sotuf politics.” In speaking of the University, be remarked that aheat lithograph of the buildiitgs should ha placed on every document sent out, ajj,it was a good advertisement, and the Yankees always availed them? selves of this. He was at this instant approached by Capt. Williams, who asked his order for dinner. “WeU,” replied the. Commoner, “you can. fix pie up most any thing just so it isn’t butter, eggs or milk. A mutton chop, a roast of sirloin beef or anything you have convenient. I am afraid I shock ed yonr servent this morning by ask ing ifyou cleared yourcoffee with egg shells.” Mr. Stephens says he expects con gress will adjourn about dog-days, add- ,ing with a smile, “ahd it is a most op portune season, too, I think-” He said he had not conversed ' with Mr. Speer, but their servants were quite intimate and he learned from that source that >Ir.

After the visitors had departed Mr. Stephens invited tis into his., room, No. 16. Without assistance he roidled himself along in bis chair, and see pl ed more vigorous and active than when we saw him last. We.found several colored servants on hand, and the room well filled with baggage. ,We took oneof tbe two chain at Jhand, and for tbe first time broached the sub ject of politics. “We democrats must quit this .fool* fairness,” was the reply, “and work together. I am in no combination with the independents and ‘never have been.

He 1s an independent and I am an organised democrat. He'has never offered me his confidence, nei ther have I sought It. I see as Mttle of him as any ofthe Georgia delega tion in congress. There was a great hue and cry raised about my endorse ment of his statement about that tele gram. 'Ha came into my room and spoke it the subject. I told him to do as he saw fit; that I had no ooiitrol over jiijn whatever in the matter. I am no more responsible for that tele-. gram than Col.
