Mr.. Stephens spoke with much earnesness on
this subject, and that he religiously believed what
he said was manifest from his impressive manner.
RIP.-But Mr.. Breckenridge, who is supported
by The disunionists, is a Union man.
Mr.. SrEPHENs-I know that, and it is for that
reason, suppose, one of his supporters in this
Stale was led some time since to say that he
(Breckinrdge) would probably be the first man
the d unonists would have to hang.
A SABBATH MORNING RIDE THROUGH MS PLAsrA.
TIoS-HIs VINEYARD, ETC.
Beside his home residence in Crawfordvlle,
which covers about thirty acres of land, incud-
ing fine peach and apple orchard, garden In
which the pomegrantes are now bursting with
their luscious sweets, and fig trees oyershadow the
ground and roses Of the finest varieties are in full
bloom, Mr.. Stephens has plantation about two
miles distant embracing some eleven hundred
acres Of land portion Of this plantation belong
ed TO his parents. His grandfather died and was
buried on the spot; his father and mother lived
and died there, and the property falling into other
hands, it was no. until the expiration of many
years that Mr.. Stephens was enabled TO achieve
the proudest object of his lifes ambition,
the redemption Of his patrmonial estates.
He has since added considerably to its proper
TONS and by improving its culture rendered it
of the finest plantations in the county. 1t was
to this place that the biggest-lit,lest man in the
State of Georgia invited your correspondent to
take horseback ride yesterday Sunday morn
ing. Our equestrian education had been somewhat
neglected in youth, although we had the advan-
tages of an intimate acquaintanceship with Dis
brow and other eminent professors Of the equine

STATESMAN AND CORRESPONDENT.
And now behold US, cteuGl, passing through
the gates towards the road But what is this white
buildng-what is this crowd? They are within
the limits of Mr.. Stephens domain, and the people
regard him with evident respect. The one is a
modest looking and yet goodly sized Baptist meet
ing house, and the people, you see, have come a
distance OF five and ten miles to worship there.
They are both white and black. Christ's blood
has sprnkled them all alike in the South, far as
have seen. There are number 10 be baptised,
and this, with the knowledge that the Rev. DR..
HiIyer Of Penleld, is to preach, has attracted an
unusually large assemblage. Passog along, to
quote famous novelist, two horsemen
might have been seen" rising on the crest
Of Lil Of red clay in Taliaferro county, Georgii,
on a calm summers morn. They were apparent
" engaged in earnest conversation. One bcstroie
his horse as if he were waxed to the saddle and
the other didn't. Il seemed that the latter did not
know Of which Of four evils to make choice-whe-
Their II were best TO pop over the horses head,
tumble of TO the right TO the lef or slide back
over Lie tail. The movements were unique, I'M
dorbteily; but without accident we proceeded.
AL along the road were vehicles, and horsemen,
and horsewomen, going in their neat Sunday at
tire TO meeting. Everywhere was Mr. stephens
saluted with respect even the negroes would stop,
and taking or their hats, cry, GOOD mornin',
mass Aleck;n and Mr. stephens would respond by
kindly inquiring after tie folks al home. Going
down a hill one horse Vehicle was driven toward
~. Well squire knew you, bat didn't know
who that man was Lid he not take the
squire for a mani lie was butcher, and Mr. Sc
phens ordered beef to be slaughtered and carried
TO his house for the uses Of Liberty Hail.
Tie conversation during the ride was interesting |
and to me instructive, as II opened a new Volume
on the subject Of Southern liie manners, rights and
duties. AT one point my horse was ibou: length |
in the rear, when Mr.. Stephens observed Black. |
