Ia a latter of Montgomery Blair, recently published in the Xational htUttSgimcir, the writer aeys: 41 President Lincoln had' gftat Confidence in Mr. Stephana. He told me repeatedly that he had offered him a aeat in the Cabi net, end he retained great regard for him to the laat.” Tfe do not doubt a moment that Lincoln did offer Mr. Stephens a teat in the cabinet, or talked around that he waa going to do it, or waa willing to do it, ao that the latter or his friende might hear of it; hut we doubt exceedingly whether 11 he (Linooln) retained great regsrd for him (Stephen*) fO tRe last," When all that transpired 44 in school,'* ia tw’.d “ out of school,” it would not surprise «s to hear that dotens and scores of our Southern leading men were offered positions of one kind or another in the Lincoln gov ernment—not for any great regard they en tertained for a single one of them, hut for the pupose of winning them over—an adroit essay, in other words, to bribe them. Being oorrupt themselves, and believing that every man had a prioe, and especially the patriot, they threw their bribes out broad east, knowing, in reason, that tho’ some of the seed would fall on barren ground, and hence be unproductive, other reed would find more genial soil, and bring forth “ some thirty, sixty, and some an hundred fold.’’ Yet awhile, it is impossible to lm* how many of our men were thus tampered with by the Lincoln government. Judging, how ever, from the number of our prominent Southern men, deemed at first to be true and faithful, who soon became weak-kneed, and some of them, ultimately enemies, K w fair to infer that influences more than common must have been at work all the tinre. While Mr. Stephens an l Mr. John 801 l —the latter aa wall aa the former being of fered a high position by Mr. Linooln—reject ed the proffers, it may turn out, and we sus pect it will, that of those who deserted us, or, what is tantamount, remained but to cm barasa us, nine in ten will be proved to have been influenced by some held-out induce ment on the part of the enemy—some bribe in the shape of soma high office. This brib ing system was started, though in a differ ent sphere, a year beforo tho war. Among tbe Northern democrats, it was a foregone conoluaion, not open tor discussion, that Mr. I>ouglaa Has to be tb« nominee for the Presidency. In that state of things, they confessed that tho South was ewtftfed to furniah tho Yioe-President. But the first thing was to win over to tbe Douglas side all the aspiring leading men in the South; and the means they resorted to to do this, showed them as recklessly unprincipled, as they ware cunning and politic. They iwhmmJ <a— —*' almost every prominent man id the South as a suitable candidate for the to nut on the ticket with the “ little GEM»t.” Os eourse, but one man could get the position, —but ail the rent were bound to feel a little tenderer tow-wide the party that had so tick led them, than they did before; and the result proved that of the “ thousand and one ” Southern men, more or less, suggested by this, that, or the other little paper or politician, aa fit to ride behind the little Giant, half of them went squarely over to Douglas, a fourth went half-way over, while the meat of the remainder dwindled down to very indifferent supporters of the Breck rnridge ticket This Vioe-Presidenoy game of tie Douglasites paid very handsomely;— for without it, it is doubtful whether the Squatter Sovereignty ticket oould have com manded a oorporni’s guard of the leading men of the Bouth. With this precedent right before Linooln’s eyee, no wonder he essayed the same system; and, aa mania not incor ruptible, no wonder it proved a good invest ment to the North, and, per contra, about the worst blow the poor Sooth ever received.

The iast-nsmed of thess two distinguished men, it is reported, is lying dsogerouslj ill M Baltimore, while the former, there is much tesson to fetr, will never be allowed to leave th&t noisome duugoon aliro. Should thane two great men be spatfd to come to gether, and understand each other, we rest assaeed they will yet become friends. As things now stand, the slienation of these true patriots serves bat ae a aonvenient text for the indieereet enemies of the one or the oth er to indulge their malicious diatribes—very illogictlly concluding that one of them baa acted altogether right and the other alto gether wrong. Who now believes that in the unimportant quarrel between Paul and Bhrnabas, the one or the other was altogeth er right w altogether wrong ’ A just his tory hts essayed not to settle the queetioo, or even to attempt it. It is enough that they are now both- maonized—thiiing lights amid the most glorious in the calendar. Pre cisely so, as patriots, good and' true, wilj Jefferson Pavia and Joseph E.

Calhoun, died at Pcndle tooi South Careiiua, July 26th, in the Toth year of ber *gc. fining for Vlurtyrtlt'in The Hon. A. 11. Stephens, in a letter to Montgomery Blair, of the 28rd July, which has just been published in the Xational In te'liji ncer, nia&es n»c of the folkrwing re markable expression : 44 Indeed, (yon will rXcUsc me ;n saving it, but it is the truth,) 1 would be Willing to offer up pn(r lift itself, if by so doing, this great result, (s speedy, full, and perfect re storation ol ibe Government under the Con stitution, and its permanency t tnd'r that Con mute standi,) could be obtained, and peace, union, harmony, prosperity, hap piness, and constitutional liberty be thereby secured to the millions now living, and the untold rnilliocs hereafter to lire on the con tinent." 44 Under that Constitution a* it now stands!" And, pray ! how does it no>r stand s and what is it but sn old mutilated, violated, eviscerated, prostituted thing that has not pretended to a particle of live virtue during the last fire years ? President Johnson himself confesses that the Consti tution was scrolled up during the war, and laid on the shelf—in other words, that it wa» most shamefully abused and misused— and all oi his efforts to take it down and re introduce it, we know, have been signally thwarted by the Radicals. If the Senator is so keen to be immolated in testimony of hia great love for an old hag, -soiled with prostitution—not claiming even to be a Magdalen—what should have been hia affection for the same in its virgin puri ty T Then, we opine, was the fitter occasion to step forward and offer hitnself a sublime sacrifice. The offer comes in note at least five years too late. Seward and tiik Caulk —Of all the congratulatory addresses or responses elicit, ed by the completion of the Atlantic Tele graph, Seward’s alone had !o be disfigured by bad taste and coarse irrelevancy. How much of the malevolent fiedd, chuckling over the success of souio diabolical project, is con veyed in the following, which we clip from his reply to the letter of Cyrus W. Fields : “If the Atlantic cable had not failed in 185S, European States would not have been led into the great error of supposing that civil war in America could cither perpetuate Afri can slavery or divide this Republic.” In this fling at some body—or, rather every body, but himself, the author of the “ irrepressible conflict ” doctrine—it is hard to eliminate from the diplomatic circumlo cution of the verbiage, the precise premisses he is laying down, and still more difficult to see how he makes out his conclusion, or in ference. He happened to have a paroxysm of meanness on him—or rather happened not to have a paroxysm of goodness on him —and was determined to vent it, whether lie could do it by a natural association of cause and effect, or by just recklessly doing it, be it ealled forth or not called forth by tho oc casion.

A curious weapon, called the non reecoil gun, has been invented by Mr. G. Harding, in England. Its principle is simple and ex tremely peculiar. It is, in fact, a plain tube, without a breach; and open at both ends. The shot is placed in the centre, a Wad placed behind it so as to confine the Charge, and a second wad is placed at such a distance as to leave an air space behind the charge. There being no recoil from the gun, it is called the non-recoil. A salt lake paper says : “ Away in the wilds of Idaho, midway between Salt Lake and-Oregon, the air is thundered and the earth is rent by a cataract as imposing as Niagara.

The ladies of Houston, Texas, are prepar ing to get up a concert for the benefit of Gen. A. Sidney Johnston’s family. llou. James E. Harvey, minister to Por tugal, recently wrote a letter, which has been published, endorsing the patriotic poli cy o! the President The Radicals had no power to remove him, so tloy abolished tin mission to rortiiool. At the recent commencement of Mercer University of Georgia, the degree of L L. D. was conferred upon Gen. R. E. Lee, now the President of the Washington College in Virginia. A New \ ork letter says: “Lieut. ijt-n. Giant and Bottled Butler met in the corri dors of the Metropolitan hotel to day. The Lieutenant General did not recognize the hero of Bermuda Hundreds.” By some curious coincidence it appears that the coming year, 1807, has been fixed upon by Mahotneilans, Brahmins, and vari ous other sects, as well as by some few Christians, as a period in the history of the universe, marked by some great and marvel lous change. General Grant has declined sending troops to Annapolis, Maryland, to assist the Freed nten’s Bureau agent, on the ground that Ma ryland is not one of the “ lately insurrection ary States.” He is, moreover, opposed to mil itary interference, where it can be avoided, as tending to increase the evils it seeks to allay. The Washington correspondent of the Hartford Dress says the President is not over sanguine in regard to the result of the fall elections, but is fullyjdetermincd to perse vere in tho course he has marked out. In regard to the next Presidency, the same correspondent says it does not seem probable that Gen. Grant can decline the Republican nomination. Henry 11. Tucker., D. D., was Installed as President of the Mercer University, Geor gia, July Ith In his brief address he al ludes to Gen. Lee, now President of the Washington College, Va., and said that he felt it “ no spiaii honor to he made the peer —the official peer of that personally peerless man ; no small thing to wear the same hon ors and bear the same responsibilities, and discharge the same duties, and occupy an official chair side by side with the great chieftain, whose name is dear to million.', and whose glory is commensurate with the civilization of the globe.” An Atrocious Article. —ln Brown* low’s Knoxville Whig of the first of August l is a leading article, of which the following is the concluding paragraph : It is the settled purpose of the traitors at the North, and the rebels of the South, to in volve tiic country in another bloody war, and this they aim to do during the next two years, under the lead of Andrew Johnson. An at tempt to force Southern traitors into their seats in Congress with bayonets will be made the occasion for the outbreak. Let the des pot now at the head of the Government at tempt a thing of this kind if h« dare. A millio” of gallant l nion men will at once appear in the District of Columbia, surround ing both the Capitol and the White House, disposing of the heads of the leading traitors after the most approved atylo of the age in which the King of England lost his head. If another war shall be forced upon the coun try, the loyal masses, who constitute an over whelming majority of the people of this great nation, intend it shall be no child’s play.— They will, as they ought to do, make the entire Southern Confederacy as God found the earth when he commenced tlie work of creation, “ without iorui and void.” They will not and ought not, leave a rebel fence rail, out house or dwelling in the eleven se ceded .States, And as for the rebel popula tion, let them he exterminated. And when the war is wound up, which should be done rapidly, and with swift destruction—let t..e lands be re-surveyed and sold out to pay the ; expenses of the war, and settled only by a people who will respect the Stars and Stripes Gen. Grant. —A Washington corres pondcrit of a Hartford paper says of Gen. i Grant: All talk about his agreeing with the Pres- ‘ ident’s policy is Copperheard lying: there! isn’t a word of truth in it. Gen. Grant agrees with Ueu. Logan, and with his most intimate of friends, Mr. Washburno, mem ber from the Galena district, who is now lying ill at the General’s house Mr. M ashburne is a prominent Radical. Look at Grant’s recent order. The President wonld put his foot on it if he dared. It would bo open war between the two men were it not for ScWard, who is a diplomat. Johnson is a man of coarse passions, and he would, it it was not for Seward, kill his cause by his imprudence. The “sage of Au burne ” knows better what should be done, and is very anxious to conciliate Grant and Stanton, so the coaxing process proceed with no effect upon the General, but with a marked effect upon Stanton, for he cannot ia!l back upon personal popularity as Grant can. Poetry.—A large and exceedingly intrresting volume, under this title, will be issued in October next, from the Press of Richardson k Cos., 540 Broadway, N. Y.— Edited by Hen \V. Gilnaoro Simms, of S' rr Civil War —We can sec no g.nd that is to result to the republic by ianning the flames of civil war. We have never yet, by yielding to superior force, ignored the truth of history, by admitting that the South was ever in a state of rebellion. We have ac | cep’ed the results of the late war as the | fruits of a conquest achieved over us. The Government of the United States, anterior | to the late war, was admitted by ail men and all parties to be.founded upon and controlled by the Constitution, the Loud of union be tween the several sovereign states composing j it. The South never fought against, but i sought to separate herself from the Govern ! merit, leaving it in the exercise of all the i powers over those States adhering to it, as j fully as if the seceding States had never left it. This is all the South ever did, and his j tory will be sought in vain, to sustain any I other charge against her. In her attempted : separation, she clung to the Constitution, the work of her fore fathers, as the ark of her safety, and made it the bond of connection between the Confederate States. This is also history. It is also history that this at | tempted separation was defeated by a resort -to arms. In- this status, the cessation of hostilities between the Government and the Confederate States, left the South. he was |in no condition to impose terms, and thcre ! fore, not responsible for any discontent or ill-feeling which may now threaten to deluge I this country in a civil war. Whether right or wfong in her interpretation of the Con stitution of the United States, tiie South was sincere and conscientious in the belief that she violated no constitutional obligation by the act of secession Indeed, secession was resorted to to absolve her from all allegiance to that Government she had resolved to quit She never struck a blow against the United States Government until absolved, as she deemed herself, wholly from allegiance to it, and then she fought as a belligerent for ate; a .re government. Wc have often heard it all,gtd that we ought to have fought in the Union and not out of it. Hud vc done so, we would l ave been in rebellion against the Government. It would have been an attempt either to usurp thegovern tn *nt or to overthrow those wiio had n-urped powers not belonging to the government.— This would have been civil war. A war to wrest from tbe hands of those cor ; trolling it, the government itself. Now that civil war is threatened among those who clubbed together to conquer the South, it is the evident policy of tho South to have no ! thing to do with either party, until they set ! tie the quarrel among themselves. We j fought for what we esteemed our rights, whilst we had power, and ceased only when I it would have been folly longer to contend. I We have had to bear all the blame for one war. For it we have been branded as rebels, traitors, and denied equality, threatened with prosecution for treason, visited with disfranchisement, and refused representation in government. If a second war is brewing let not the South he deluded into any con nection with any party or parties which may, in the event of war, shuttle thorns,dvis down to the bottom of the puck and turn the South up as the principal in the treason.— Okatoua X-ics.

He gets ten per j cent, added to the duty on wire iron, ! which ten per cent is plundered from the | pockets of the people, to “represent'' whom jhe paid several thousand dollars in election | bribery one Sunday morning. Roswell Hart, from the Moni'oc district, j in this State, is largely interested in the salt i works of Saginaw, Michigan, and probably j also in the Syracuse salt monopoly, and joins 1 the ring of plunderers that he, too, may j profit by the plundering.— X. I”. World. Druid, of the .Yews, is very oracular upon a momentous and startling future.—- Saith he : “ If any hut the radical leaders are im pressed with the belief that the President ! intends, immediately after the adjournment jof the Philadelphia Convention in August, j to summon to Washington tho members from I the Southern States, and to use the army, if i need be, to place them in their seats, I have j reason to believe that this conviction is well j founded ; hut when the President has once j made up Viis mind to take this step, the fact I of Congress being in session will not hinder i him. Trouble ahead in Tennessee —The Washington correspondent of the Cincin natti Gazette telegraphs that paper under date of tho 10th inst. as follows : “ If is ascertained on what appears good authority that the President has under con sideration the expediency of superseding Gov.
