What Mr.. stephens Apprehends.

A correspondent of the N. Y. Heraid re-
Gently paid visit to Hon. A. Ii. STEPHENS,
OF Georgia, and reported n conversation
he had with that distinguished gentleman.
The following is an extract: -...
REPoRTER-Do you believe Lincoln's
election sure?
Mr.. STEPHENs--1 can conceive no other
result in view of tlie discortlant condition
ofthe opposing elements North and South.
REp.--Whatw will follow? r.ta-. b..
Mr.. STEPHENs-Undoubted all attempt
at secession and revolution. have view
ed with painful apprehension the APP
preaching crisis for years past. Fifteen
years experience in Congress has qualified
me to become somewhat intimately ac.
quainted with the temper and feelings of
our people; and | am satisfied beyond a
doubt that, in the event OF Lncoln's cleo
ton there will be ut least an attempt at
revolution There will be blood split
some may be hung; but that the attempt
will bo.'s.ade am certain. ! cannot for
tcl!. tht'end, but hold sSvolution and
civil war to be inevitable. The dema-
gogues have raised whirlwind they can
not control nor stand before and as much
as deplore the event cannot close my
eyes TO its consequences.
Mr.. Stephens spoke with much earnest
ness on this subject, and that he religious
ly believed what he said was manifest
from his impressive manner.

Military Tax Denounced.

We have already informed our readers
that the Legislature of Alabama, at its
last session, passed law providing for the
organization, equipment and drill of a vol.
unteer army of e;ghthosaadmer, and levy
ing tax TO support it. The tax. collec-
tors are now in the field, and, we learn,
are having considerable trouble in some
portions of the State, in collecting the
military tax. The last Huntsville Adcocatc
contains the proceedings of public meet
ing held in Madison county, to consider
the subject of which the following resolu.
tons were offered and adopted unani-
mously. Oil. t....-. -.E.-, ..,.
Resoh'cd That, we as freemen. abhor
the Military Law passed by our last Legis-
lature, and now, in this public manner, de-
nouncc the law as unconstitutional, and
subsersve of our liberties as frcemen.
Resolved 2d, That we will resist the coll
lection of this Military tax by all lawful
means, let it be attempted to be enforced in
any manner or shape.
ReSolccd3d That we recommend to all
citizens and freemen of the State of Ala
bama to do as we have done--take bold
and legal stand against the enforcement
of this Military Law.
RcSolced An, That when our State re-
quires our property and lives in defence of
what we may consider her honor and the
safety Of her citizens and their property,
we will freely give both-but we are not
willing to surrender up our property,
liberty and lives to an unconstitutional
and intolerant act of our Legislature.

pondent Of the Cincinnati Enquirer, says
in his last dispatch:
The friends of the Southern sectional
lists in the North, who sail under the
Breekin idge and Lane fag. and who are
mostly retainers Of the administration
are to aid in the election oie.incoln, either
by voting G.recily for the rrpublican tick
ct, or 10y getting up separate tickets of
their own. In return for that favor the
republican administration, should Lin
coin succeed through the aid of the North
ern Brcckinridge wing, are to retain in
office or appoint thereto, in all the South
ern States, none but friends of the seccs-
sionsits. Such is the understanding that
has been had here between the republi-
can and Breckenridge executive commit
tees. That is a key TO many things that
have occurred lately, both North and
South. All that the shrewd observer has
to do, to see the gradual development of
the plot, will be to watch the movements
OF the several parties from this time out,

A Programme.

A correspondent of the Atlanta Intel
ligencer, lays down the following diagram
of the course to be pursued by the South
ern States in case of the election Of Lin
coin:
On the idcs Of November next, when
Jupiter hurls his angry lightning along
the wires and announces the election of
Lincoln, let the Southern Senators and
the Southern people at once declare the
fact, for it will then be fact, that John
c. Breckenridge is chosen the First Presi-
dent of the Southern Confederacy.-
Let him select his cabinet of Southern
men, at once; let him establish his gov.
ernment the Senators and Representa-
tives for the South are already chosen for
the time being; let an honest declaration
of the causes that have led to the sepaiu-
ton be put forth to the world let the
South hold the North. as she holds the
rest of mankind-cncmics in the war,
in peace friends, Let this be done, bold
ly-immcdiately and with determination /;
and to support and maintain such a con
federacy the people Of the South will
pledge their lives, their fortunes and
their sacred honor: to defend it against
attack or invasion from any quarter they
will yield up the last drop of their life
blood.

groes who were scattered around, n pretty
vivid idea of how they might, in the dead
hour of night, murder their masters; and
shareholders stood by and shouted vocii-
erously as he painted the scene Of butch
cry to which their slaves were thus in
cited. 1t is no sufficient apology to say
that he was only pointing out the effects
of Republican policy; such remarks
ought not to be tolerated in slavehold-
ing community, nor ought they, to be
made by disunionists whose policy will
lead as certainly to such results as will
that of the Republicans. 1t is just such
speeches as that made by Haynes which
prompts negroes to fly to free States,
stirs up insubordination, and suggests
murder, and one such man, appauded by
his party, does more mischief than
thousand Black Republicans. Had a
Northern man made such speech here,
he would have been lynched; but as a
locoloco, OF the disunion Southern stripe
the very victims of his criminal policy
were his noisicst admirers. CATksWh

The HOG CRop.-The Cincinnati Gaz-
ette says the offerings of hogs for early
November delivery were pretty free on
the 18th at Sc G5, but there were no buy
ers. The Louisville Courier of the 18th
says: L- "..
The market for hogs is dull, and pack
ers are disposed to hold off at present,
and as prices are high they are unwilling
to make any contracts. They are of the
opinion that prices will rule no higher du-
ring the season, hence they prefer not
purchasing until the slaughtering season
commences. To day lot of 1000 head,
within forty miles of this city, were Of

in this county at 81 so gross, for flu.
ture delivery, but we hear OF sales more
recently as nigh IS.

in the money market to the threatening
aspect of our Federal relations. A well
informed gentleman attached to one of
the Banks in that city, recently returned
from the North, assures us that capital
there is, at this time, very sensitive, and
moneyed men are turning the key upon
their vaults in anticipation of possible
disruption and civil strife. Is not this q
deplorable state of things? And will not

How FoUL!-1he Montgomery Adver.
tiser boldly charges Mr.. Bell with being
an abolitionist. We are no defender of
John Bell and his party, but a more base
and wanton charge never was made against
any man than that John Bell is unfriend-
ly to negro slavery. There is just about
as much truth or propriety in charging
Abolitionism against any gentlemen of
Lowndes or Montgomery County. The
man who charges John Bell with being
an Abolitionist. does it through ignorance
or malicious desire to lie upon his fell
low men. .'. .... H..
The above is clipped from the Selma
!Ssntinel, democratic paper whose editor
has just returned from Nashville, where
he had an interview with Mr.. Bell, and
where he had full opportunity of learn
ing Mr.. Bells sentiments. But of course
no one believes that Mr.. Bell is unfriend-
ly to slavery. Such an idea is simply rid
iculous. One might as well charge him
with being Mormon, or a Chinese, or
Hindoo. Such charge as that would be
just as well founded as the other.
