II. STEPHENS. From a gentleman who saw and conversed with Mr. Stepneys on Tuesday the 20th says the Atlanta New Era, we are rejoiced to learn that lie continues to improve steadily. The injury vras a very serious one to one of Mr.

Stephens' fragile mould, but tve are glad to hope that he will shortly have so far recovered as to be able to complete his history of the late war a work in which he takes great interest, and which, he is extremely anxious tD complete. So. Trcmont Slrcct-- Cheap Dry Goods. NOT Wortss in AX AX INFIDEL. Some papers have been discussing Grant's religion, or whether ha lies any religion.

At least we can safely assert that he is not vrorse thaa an infidel," for he "provideth for his own familv." uii Otc have bad the pleasure of meeting our esteemed friend of Col ambus, Capt. E. V. Cook. He reports Colorado and adjoining cotmties in a very prosperous condition.

Crops seldom, if ever, looked better than they do now. Ham wa? beginning to be needed in some places, bat that want lias most probably been supplied, as appearances indicate that last night's rain extended well up the country. Capt. Cook thinks there has generally been planted about a third more cotton than last year, but not so much corn. However, if the season proves favorable, there will doubtless be abundance of corn, while if the cotton turns out well, the crop of this State will be quite a large one, and, at present prices, will make money more abundant than it has probably ever been known.

T6e no us Ion April 30, EdHorj Sc.cs: I have just been informed that the races have been postponed until tomorrow, on account of the heavy condition ot the track, caused by the heavy rain-storm last niaht. Yours truly, Tun JEFFEUSOK is doubtless bettor for persons to be tried I even by military commission, than to be kept in a military jail forever, without even knowing wliythey were imprisoned. But it does seem strange that, in a land professing to be republican, in a time of profound peace, when all the avocations of life are pursued in quietness, and all the courts arc open, we should bo compelled to witness a mode of trial which has been so strongly condemned by all enlightened writers on jurisprudence and by the common voice of civilized nations. In England, a monarchical and aristocratic country, a military commission could not be instituted even in time of war, much less in the midst of peace. There it is believed that the forms by which justice has been long administered aro of the essence of justice here, it seems, men can bo tried for their lives by a-process utterly unknown to the law, and which has been condemned by the Supreme Couit of the country even when resorted to iu timo of war.

When such, things can bo done, hero and there, promiscuously, by order of this or that subordinate, it would seem that a country is overrun by dictators, an worse off than it could well be under tho rule of a single despot. We do not prejudge the course or the finding of the military court ordered in thecse of tho Jefferson prisoners; these forauglit we can now know, may bo creditable to the iudividuals composing the but what wo complain of is, the importation of tho rarest and most questionable resort of the worst state of war into a regular, taxpaying, law-prevailing timo of peace. For the life of us, we can see no better reason wliy these men at Jefferson should be tried by military commission, just after the man who shot and killed a member of the New York Constitutional Convention was tried by a regular court, except that New York is powerful enough to prevent the set- tiug aside of her courts by shoulder- straps, while the State of Texas is not. AXOTHER published in the large Northern cities often contain articles from workingmen. accounts of demonstrations ot various kinds by mechanics and laborers, and much editorial discussion concerning the interests of these classes.

This sort of newspaper literature is beginning to make its appearance in tho South. A communication of this kiad in tfce Memphis Ledger says the workingmen of that city have formed "a new party, with, a platform of principles advantageous to the working masses, including all branches of artists, citizens, mechanics, and laborers;" and annonnces that tho great body of intelligent men, North and South, who produce wealth by skilled labcr have withdrawn from the radical, democratic and conservative parties, and will hereafter act for themselves. But tins writer says the new party will, as an act of charity, favor the old parties with "information whereby they may learn how to earn their grub and turn the fungi-covered fields of the South into gardens of grain, fruit and 1 This is certainly praiseworthy. One of the new things adopted by tlio new party in Memphis is a series of Sunday afternoon lectures, for the purpose of instructing workingmen in the signs of the times, the principles of republican government and the rights of man. NEWS Fito.it WASHINGTON.

A communication in tho Washington National Kepublican, of tho 2-lth informs the world that Col. C. K. Hall, lato Collector of the Port of Gal vcston, "seems, to bo the universal choice of of this State for Governor," and that he is supported with an cuthusiatm that can only bo tho offspring of an earnest desire to reconstruct that State in tho interest of loyalty and free government." The call upon him, we arc aleo assured, was unsolicited and unexpected, and responded to only at the earnest desire of the great loyal heart and he is a candidate simply upon the earnest solicitation of tho voters of Texas" which is, decidedly, news to us but as we aro not a voter, and very seldom see one, ib would not be appropriate for us to know anything, or caro much, about tho earnest desires of the great loyal heart." But we may say that jnst now the voters of Texas and the people of Texas" can hardly, with any degree ol' accuracy, lie employed as equivalent expressions. SOUTHERN On tho 24th tho Tribune stated that the spring trade of the South with New York commenced late and ended early tin's season, being quite brisk while it lasted.

Southern merchants and traders had been the principal customers at the metropolitan warehouses. Their purchases, so far, had been twice as large as they were last spring. A large proportion of the purchases were made for As a general thing, wo are told, the trade from the South has settled down from an extravagant to a medium standard in goods of all kiacls. Tim luxuries of dress hr.ve been thrown aside for plain necessities, and hence the demand for dress goods is limited. The trade of the South has become more difficult to supply, owing to the fact that the number of small buyers has increased.

A NOIITHEHN VIEW. A letter from a prominent Northern man says that although he was a strong radical and loyalist during the war," he ''now looked to the South to bring the country prosperity, real prosperity, and that peace and contentment which flow from it. I look upon New York, wilh its growing corruption and alien feelings, as one of the greatest dangers which now menace us threatening to corrupt and demoralize the entire country. Already does it possess the power to make money scarce or plenty, to control railroads, to organize whisky rings, which are too powerful for the government, and threatening to the liberties of the people. Every thing that can be done to vitalize the i ot the country generally will tend to decrease this corrupt centralization.

In the South, I am glad to learn that much is being done towards diversifying industry, and I anticipate that your people will ere long fully understand their true interests and verify the strongest predictions yet made concerning thtir rapid development and prosperity." L. Late dispatches received in this city by private parties confirm the information obtained from Associated Press dispatches, of the of April, to tlid New Orleans papers, reporting a considerable decline in the prices of Texas and California wools in the New York market. The New York papers of the 24th report Texas fine 32 to 3Gc. per pound, medium 33 to coarse 27 to 30c. The quotation by telegraph is given at the grade not mentioned, and we presume it refers to medium indicating a marked decline.

The New York market has of late been scantily supplied, inducing- high prices, and the decline, we presume, follows from the absence of demand in consequence of manufacturers being unable to dispose of their goods, a state of affairs that has been predicted by wool dealers. Doubtless our readers in the interior who are offered fair prices at home, or fall prices here, -will not speculate upon the probabilities of the intnre, but will sell immediately, or send forward, at once while remunerative figrjjes prevail. The New York Times Observes Two of the three colored men recently nominated by the President for ofBce hava declined. This is the most decided evidence of superior sense on the part of the black race over the white that have ever seeu." A HCCE SWINDLE. The New York Day Book says the result of the investigations made concerning the Pacific Kailroacl "are simply damnable," showing that the route now "finished'' between Omaha and Sacramento is practically worthless.

The miserable construction of the road, pushed forward as a mere speculation, might lie remedied, in the course of time, but the fact that tho route lies on the isothermal line of the greatest annual snow fall from the Atlantic to the Pacific, is irre- The report of the Senate committee on the subject says the investigations characterize the route as one net to be relied on by international commerce." WITH ENGLAND DESIRED How IT is TO HE BROUGHT Os. The "Washington correspondent of the New York Express insists that a war with England is desired by tho unscrupulous conspirators in the radical party. But how is this coveted war to be brought on? Simply, he says, by 3tr. Motley making some absurd demand of the British Government, and on its refusal, demanding hiss passports, returning to America, and, with the aid of the conspirators. embroiling the two nations in a quarrel, which the aforesaid conspirators will take good care shall not be reconciled.

LAEOB. It pleases some of the Northern papers to note that the Alabama Agricultural Fair will be the scene of the presentation of a silver watch worth (American manufacture, we suppose) for the largest quantity of cotton produced by any white boy under sixteen years of age, upon an acre of land and a similar premium for the largest quantity of corn grown on an acre by any white boy under sixteen. They are also pleased to see that South Carolina and other pa pers indicate that a similar course will be pursued in other sections. Much is said in this connection about impressing Southern youths with the dignity labor. The natural course of affairs will probably do more in that line than could, be enacted by sermons ia the papers.

JUDGE PASCHAX'S Among much else of interest in 'our dispatches, to which we direct the at tention of our readers, will be found the important platform upon which G. TV. Paschal announces himself as a candidate for V. S. Senator from Texas.

This announcement ntay indicate that the pressure in favor of the reconstruction of the State and the development of her resources, is rather strong for those supremely selfish politicians who are endeavoring to prevent the attainment of those ends, solely with a view to the gratification of their own foolish and inordinate lust for office; and who, it seems, would prefer to be rulers over ruin than private citizens ia the midst of quiet and prosperity. LEE AT BALTIMORE. Delegations representing the Virginia Valley and Lynchburg and Danville Railroad schemes, visited Baltimore on the 23d to solicit aid in building the roads. Gen. Lee was chairman of the delegations.

The Gazette says that, on the arrival of the General, the throng was very dense and the desire to see him so great that some time elapsed before he could force a passage through tho multitude, who, however, preserved an entirely respectful demeanor. As the General passed from the Eutaw House, where a great concourse was gathered, on his way to the place of meeting at the Corn Exchange, the crowd stood with uncovered heads, and as he entered the place of meeting, he was greeted with three hearty cheers. The spacious hall was filled with a most select audience," among whom were many influential citizens and ladies. When Gen. Lee was introduced to the assembly a '-perfect storm of applause arose and continued for several minutes." Then the General read the memorial to the Jlayor and Council, setting forth the character and importance of the railroad project.

L'pon concluding the reading, the General was again warmly applauded, "cheer after cheer rent the air, and hats and handkerchiefs were waved from all parts of the hall. It was a scene of genuine enthusiasm not often witnessed." At the close of the meeting, Gen. Lee, by his own request, was presented to the ladies. They moved over the platform, passing the General, who sbook the hand of each cordially, and in return was complimented by all the ladies, "a number of whom sainted him with kisses." The greatest enthusiasm prevailed in the streets as Gen. Lee returned from the meeting.

MAMTTFAOTURLNG IN VICTOIUA. A private letter from Victoria shows that that place is becoming quite a manufacturing town." Perron Lapouyade Soap and Grlue Factory is said to be doing quite an extensive business. It turns out various kinds of soap all of the best quality, such as rosin soap, palm soap, CaSitilo soap, fancy soaps, etc. It also manufactures neats foot oil for market, the materials being chiefly obtained from Messrs. Hudson, Nash beef packery.

The establishment is capable of turning out ten tons of soap per day. Their tank has a capacity for 400 beef heads at a time, from which the oil or fat is obtained. They also make axle greese of superior quality for wagons. The bones, hair, horns and hoofs are saved for ship- mem; to the comb and other manufactories of Boston. -They are preparing to manufacture star candles.

Their soap is sold at 7 to 10 cents per pound in currency. A shipment of the soap was received in this city by last arrival of steamship Clinton from Indianola. We hope to receive for the. next Almanac a full account of all the various manufactories that have been commenced in different parts of our State, such as castor oil, cotton seed oil, brooms, wooden buckets, stone ware, sorgham sugar, moss for the market, etc. KOllKD IMMYX.

It thinks that if the people of Canada desire annexation to the United States, and apply to the home government for release from its authority, in order to carry out that desire, their action would afford a basis on which the matter might be arranged.

NEW YORK, April steady; ning for her wrongs and insults to us in the Alabama business, the more likely shall we ever be to obtain such a cession. 1 A TALKER, BUT tor Chandler of Michigan, made the most terrible fighting speech against Great Britain that has been heard in Congress for years; but what the Chicago Times says ot him Considering that Zachariah Chandler was insultingly snubbed by Texas, and did not resent the insult and that among the congressional cowards at Ball Ran he made tbe best time in returning to Washington from the battle field, and that he had his nose pulled and a milk-pitcher broken over his head by Hannegun, of Indiana and that he has given abundant proofs that he has no more courage than Bob Acres, or Ancient Pistol, it is singular that he will adhere to his habit of in dulgencein swagger. YANKEES Houston Times of yesterday, says: Tho Galveston News of yesterday con tains the following letter from Gen. W. Barnes, which, we think, possesses sufficient interest to justify us in publishing it.

Gen. Barnes was perfectl; justifiable in assuring Northern busi ness men that they might rely upon re ceiving courteous treatment at th hands of our citizens. Our people wil gladly welcome into our midst men with the will, means and energy requi site to the development of the resources of the State. We want capitalists to help build our railroads, and we wan thrifty, industrious farmers to till our rich soils. We believe that the Nortl has a large silrplus of both, and it people may rely upon receiving ou hearty co-operation.

We have enough office-seekers, at present, and would quite willing to swap" afew hundred tor honest and industrious working men, giving three Of a-nalf dozen fb one. This speaks tho universal sentimen ot Texas--as, we think, Northern men might readily assure themselves if they were to consult their own common sense instead of allowing themselve to be deceived by the false reports mischief-making carpet-baggers. THE PRESIDENT AND GEORGIA AF Nelson Tift, Bepresentatir elect to Congress of the ThHH Georgi District, upon his return home a few day ago was serenaded by his fellow-citizsns and in response he made a speech, in th course of wliich he said The President is not our enemy, am to his and energetically ex pressed, we are much Indebted for six months' respite from Congressional inter ference. Mr. Grunt is an honest, eames man, and the best friend the South has in a position to do her any good.

He believei he would go as far as he dared go. and es cap? being Johngonized, to restore peace tranquility and good government to th South. Our people owe him a ciabt gratitude, and if they continue to pursu their peaceful vocations, and to maintain and uphold the laws as they have don since the Presidential election, they wll have no cause to of his administration." THE NORTH OPENING ITS the heading of The South on only the New York Corn mer Advertiser, a radical organ, says All classes of our people have a com mon interest ia the prosperity of South. Another season's good crops in that section of tbe country will do more to place the nation in a condition to resnme specie payments than all the theories of politicians, or nf the long drawn out wisdom of -Congress Through much distress and misery th South, in spite of politicians and the blunders of legislators, is now entering upon a new and substantial career prosperity that may soon eclipse th glories of the West and North.
