SEPT. 25. 1870 [From the Rome Commercial. Letter from Hon. A. H. Stephens. ' ’"ftH.nvFoViiVvn.ur,, ua.., ftppt: ’itr, iXAj/f Mr. J. A. Stewart-, Rome, Ga.: Dear Stu: Your letter of the 14Ui iust was received to-day. 1 had before seen the result of the action of the Cartersvllle Con vention. L do not know much of Gon. Young, not enough to pass any opinion as to t.he pro priety of hts nomination ; but as it has been made, I think it would be best for the Dem ocralic party to give him n united support. We cannot in this world, have events, in all particulars, to take the course we wish; indeed, we seldom t-ver have them to turn as we would wish in all particulars on any subject. Gen. Young, if elected, will doubt less oppose all Radical measures, and do all in his power for a restoration of good gov ernment. By Radical measures 1 mean those mischievous and unconstitutional acts of t.he present dominant, party in Con gress, which are bringing such ruin upon the country and undermining the founda tion principles upon which all onr free in sti tutious rest. The proscriptive feeling you speak of meets with no sanction by me; and hence 1 thought that the question of whether a good and true Democrat could take the te-t oatli or not, should not be inquired into in the nomination of candidates. I look upon that oath as void. The acl that prescribed it is an outrage upon the Cos stitution. The qualification * of mem bers of Congress are set forth in the Con stit.ut.io i, and Congress can neither add to or take from t -ese. But the fact, that a good and true man could t ike it (the test oa th) ought not, n my opinion, to be any objection to any one in looking out for members to Congress. There are some who can take it that I would not vote for. But my reasons are not founded upon the simp e f ct that they can. take it; they arise from the fact of their radical, centralizing principles, which are at, war with the whole frame work of the Constitution. A more ardent devotee to a perpetual union of the States, under the Constitution titan I am, never li.ed. My own opini n is, that the surest guarantee of this is the full recognition of the sovereign right of each memhet to quit it wlieu in iter deliberate judgment the compact has been brok- n. Tills recog nized right, in the opinion of Mr. Jefferson, was the greatest security against violations of the Constitution, aud a complete check against ultimate centralism or empire.— When there is no such recognized check, the danger of centralization is imminent and perilous. I, however, do not require those with whom 1 act to agree with me ou those par ticular poiuts; it is euoug.i for me, in all practical party acts, that my associate shall earnestly strive to prevent central ism and maintain, bv his language, votes, and efforts of all sorts, the rights of the States in the Union and under the Consti tution. 1 believed the right of secession was perlect, yet I considered it exceeding ly inexpedient. Now that it has been abandoned for all p.actical purposes as a remedy, I hail as a political brother every man iu all parts of the country, North and ttouth, who is in favor of maintaining the the union as a Union of State—one who is opposed to centralization and em pire. Yours truly, Alexander H. Stephens. The Macon and Augusta Rialboad Procrastination seems to rule the manage ment of this never-to-be-flnishod railroad July, August. September, ancTnow October each in turn, has been named for the first train to come through, and yet it don’t come—reported that only five miles of rails are wanting; that the rails are to come from England, (ship not named) and every thing is waiting on an indefinite arrival of r tils. Macon wants the road ; Augusta is restless for its opening, and Charleston is waiting on Macon and Augusta. If. its only five miles of rails wanted, can’t old rails be borrowed and pnt down aud used until the new rails come. Can’t Macon, and Augusta, and Charleston, and the peo ple along the road, stir the sleepers, and let Macon come to salt water soon ? t. .. irrii [Charleston Nom. 2ri-tt)cclUn r Constitutionalist. [From the Missouri Republican. The Environs of Paris. Among the great cities of Europe, Paris, Rome and Munich have the most pictur esque surroundings. The Campagna , the valley of the Iser, and the slope on the south side of the Montmatre, offer iuex nanstible beauty of landscape; the first by the melancholy aspect of majestic ruins, overarched by the brightest azure vault in the world, and scattered over a vast and barren country ; the second'by the spright ly asj>ect of a clear and rapid river, with the Alps for a background, aud a great va riety of broken middle grounds covered with Alpine vegetation; finally, that of Paris, forming mixture of monuments of the highest civilization, souvenirs of art of every Christian age, and of such sequestra tion from noise and surprise In the nearest vicinity to the capital, as is scarcely found iii new discovered lands. At agdlstance of ten English mileslfrom the city hall, in every direction, there are hundreds of rich Squares. I Week. \'i Weeks js Week*. 11 Month. 1 2 Monti k. I j.r Moaths. 14 Montis, | lb Month* 6 Mon Ho. villages and innumerable country seats, aristocratic residences, public and private parks, lakes, forests andquirries of such variety and beauty as nowhere else can be found on a surface of four hundred English square miles. The forests of Boulogne, St. Germain, Versailles, Mendon, Verrieres, Vincennes and Bondy are the delight of millions of strangers. In less than half an hour these wonderful parks can be reached by rail fron, any point in the city, and roads paved like Broadway, New York, conduct passengers to any of these places by public conveyance for the trifling ex pense of from ten to twenty cents. The Bois de Boulogne and that of Vincennes touch the continued wall of the fortifica tions ; and the trees, which were brought to these parks from all parts of the world, and which, under the constant care of ex pert gardeners, and favored by the genial climate of Paris, have grown like the in digenous trees of France, are now merci lessly cut down. What is spared by the axe is destroyed by droves of cattle penned in these ohee delightful parks. Even a portion of the park of Meudon has been sacrifled to the hopeless defense of the capi tal, and this favorite resort of the Paris ians, once the residence of the Empress Josephene and that of Rabelais under Louis XIV, will soon be used for barracks, stables and magazines. The castles of Versailles, St. Germain and St. Cloud are destined for hospitals by King William, and his staff and the attendants of the m Dy generals in his army will have more palaces at their disposal for headquarters than they can possible use. Innumerable railroads, paved highways (and viciual roads, canals and aqueducts cut the terrain in every direction, and the crooked windings of the Seine, the Marne and the Oise would add considerably to the difficulties of a besieging army, if the invaders were not prepared to meet these foreseen impediments. An army of ten thousand engineers, pioneers and pon tooneers, covered by a large cavalry force, everywhere precede the German armies ou their march, repairing roads and railways, bridging rivers and removing trees which are felled across the roads by the inhabit ants. The Germans approaching Paris from the east, northeast and southeast will first invest St. Denis, Bondy, Vincennes and Sceaux, which they mav do in perfect safety, the detached forts being too near to the continued wall (encicnte) to be able to reach these places with tlicir artillery. • he idea of using these forts as a perma nent threat against the population of Paris so predominated in the mind of Louis Phil ippe, that they were erected in much closer proximity to the capital than they should have been, if the defense of the city against a besieging army had been the exclusive aim. If, therefore, the besiegers succeed in bombard evefy portion of the capital. Af ter having invested the east, north and south of the city they will push forward their right and left wings and occupy Alcu don, Versailles and St. Cloud from iho south, and Argeuteull, the quarries of St. Denis and St. Germain from the north. Much us has been sacrificed to the de fense of the capital, it is, however, impos sible to remove the population and the valuables from the country surrounding Paris, which is soon to Vie occupied hy an army of 300,000 troops, ft would re quire an empty city of the capacity of Paris to house the population 'and the do rnestic animals, and if only the most, valu able property was to be placed in security at a distance of only ten miles, it pr >bably could not he done in less than a year.— In the rayon of which we speak ate lo cated cities ol from ten to thirty thousand inhabitants, such as St. Germain, St. Denis. Versailles and Vincennes; upwards of two hundred villages of from one io two thou sand people, as Chatillou, Fontenay, -eu illy, Puteaux, Pontin— once the reudence of Benjamin Franklin—Enghien, Mont morency, Tremblay, Sevres and Sc aux.— Innumerable manufactories .nd foundries cover that ground, besides many thousand dairies, gardens and gre uhouses. The gas works and the slaughterhouses are locat'd in the plains surrounding Paris; powder mills and the extensive manufactory of the Sevres porcelains, which usual.y employed from five hundred to one thousand hands, though under the cover of the forts, are from the start exposed to the fire of the enemy. If the worst should happen, the work of destruction performed by friend or foe, even without a single shell being tbrowu into the t'. y Itself, will be more fearful than could possibly happen on any spot on earth of similar dimensions. Southern Lady Takes to the Stage. —Miss Lina Edwin, who has just opened her new theatre in New York, has a ro mantic history, according to the Brooklyn Union: She is a Southerner, well born, and high ly educated. She lived on her paternal es tate near Richmond, Va.. and was brought up in the mollesse of the old Southern aristocracy. During the war the pater nal estates were melted in the cruci ble of the Confederacy, and Miss Edwin turned pluckily to self-support. First she tried literature, aud became well known in the internal newspaper world as a song writer. Then she set about writing music for her songs, and the orchestral world be gan to know her. She wrote waltzes and fantasias, aud in all acquitted herself well. Next she took to the stage, and in two years or so from a brilliant beginning, reached the degree of manageress in her own right. An opportune legacy has set her right pecuniarily, but it did not ar rive until she had got well into the expense list of her ledger on behalf of the public amusement, and now she will appear in her new capacity as manageress. A Nut for Physiologists.—The New Orleans limes says: “ A nut for physiolo gists to crack may be found In the state ment of a gentleman of unquestionable ve racity, to the effect that a woman in St. Landry recently gave birth to triplets, In all respects representing the voting ele ment nnder t' e acts of reconstruction; that is, one white, one mulatto, and one black child, all of the male persuasiou, and none of the woman’s right kind. After that who will not say that the black man Is not 1 a man and a brother ?’ This wo man’s husband, _ it is just to remark, has left the parish for Europe to consult with the most eminent physicians there upon this physiological phenomenon.’’ Bagging for the Cotton rif4^' - 'T. h f. im i nense trade between this the Wm«i th< ris tates father South, says pnniuwt observer and Reporter . is not confined to live stock.
