VICE-PREsIpENTS S TEpHENs ON THE llUEs-
T1oN OF THE DAy.-We publish to-day a
8 full report of Mr.. Alexander IL. stephens,
Savannah speech, and as it is an official
declaration of the policy of the Southern
Confederacy, it should be attentlvely. read;
Mr.. Stephens opens with an analy SIS and
defence of the new constitution, recapitu-
lating the principal changes made by it,
md nroving very conclusively that it is
{ better M than the old one lie makes a
number of good points in the matter OF
the tariff, and demolishes the iallacy'
through which the rest Of the United
States have been taxed to enrich ENew
England manufactures and Pennsylvania
iron mongers Mr.. Stephens docs not
hesitate to acknowledge that the new
government has slavery FORTS foundation,
and claims that the theory Of the eQuall-
tv of races is untenable. Slavery, ne de-
cIores Is the normal condition of the ne
ioro and the new constitution is based
fbat I principle. Mr.. Stephens believes
that the civilized world will recognise the
right of the Southern people to organize
their government upon this principle.
Referring to the border States, ne oellerl ,l
ed that at no very distant day they would
come into the Southern Contederacy. II
they should conclude TO stay out, the cot
ton States can gel along very comiofta,
bly, alone. Mr.. Stephens looks 90 !'l forward arc
to the time when the great West will sep
arate from the Eastern and Middle States,
and cast it's lot with the South. With
such odious legislation as that which gave
US the Morrill, tariff, and with the estab-
lisbment of free trade at the South, it is
not by any means impossible that this
prophecy may be realized in our day. On
the whole, Mr. Stephens speech is a
statesmanlike exposition of the views OF
the moderate Southern leaders. Shall We

poor way of showing it. They raved like mad
men, because the Government attempted to
hold Fort Sumpter, which it had consiitu-
tional right to do. They sweIIed up with in
dignation because an army was marched into
the borders of Virginia, for the safety of the
capital and the protection Of the Government.
They tore their hair and gnashed their teeth
with rage because the Government caused the
arrest Of some of their brother 1" Peace Demo-
Gratis" for treason, and confined them at Fort
Lafayette. They hailed with sparkling coun-
fenances and suppressed emotions of delight.
the success Of rebel and the reverse of Federal
arms, and shadow of gloom encircled their
hrows when Port Royal fell. They cursed
loud and deep because the people of Missouri
arose in their majesty, invoked and secured the
aid of Federal power to delhrone the villainons
traitor, Chib Jackson, and his cohorts. They
uncquivocally endorsed every act, and circula-
ted a. campaign documents. the speeches of the

WHAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS Done IN SIX

MoNrHs.-The n. Y. Post says:
Let US review the months that have passed
since the day of SUMTER and see what we have
done. Six months ago we had not seven
hundred soldiers within the reach Of defense
less capital. To-day we have probably two
hundred thousand armed men on the line of the
Potomac, and another hundred thousand in the
West Six months ago we bad not the arms
to put in the hands of seventy FIVE thousand
volunteers to-day we have muskets, cannon,
every supply in abundance for four times the
number. Six months ago we could neither
feed nor move an army of 5000 men to day
every department of our vast military organi-
zation is complete, and we can make war
across the continent. Six months ago we had
not dozen ships of war at hand; today we
number our navy by the hundred, and are
guarding cost line of more than two thousand
miles.
Six months ago the Government could
scarcely borrow few hundred thousands al
twelve per cent ; today twelve millions OF
people lend it fifty millions Of dollars at par.
Six months ago the question was whether the
people would support the Government to-day
the only question is whether the Government

A PORTABLE BoAT-Col. r. G. Buchanan.
of the U. 5. Army, is the inventor of peculiar
portable boat which has been used in several
expeditions in Oregon, and is highly commen-
ded 1t consists Of an exceedingly light frame
work of thin and narrow boards. in lengths
suitable for packing connected by hinges, the
different sections folding into so small com
pass as to be conveniently carried upon mules.
The frame is covered with sheet of stout cot
ton canvas or duck, secured to the gunwales
with cord running diagonally back and forth
through eyelet-holes in the upper edge. When
first placed in the water the boat leaks a little
but the canvas soon swells so as to make it
sufficiently tight for all practical purposes
One mule suffices to transport boat with all
its appnrtenances capable of sustaining ten men.
Should the canvas be torn it is easily repaired
by putting on patch and it does not rot or
crack like India rubber or gutta-percha be-
sides, it is not affected by changes of climate
or temperature.-NepY York Tribune.
The truth about the invention of the portable
boat is as follows: Col Buchanan made a
campaign against the Indians in Southwestern
Oregon in the spring of 1856. Capt. VIM.
Techenor, an old salt" and coast ranger. now
Collector of Customs for the Port Oxford dis
lrct, accompanied him part of the time as
guide The troops were frequently compelled
to cross Rogue river Smiths river and their
tributaries in pursuit Of the savages who took
good care to keep their canoes out of reach.
Tichenor set his wits to work, and by the aid
of his sea faring and mountain experience con-
joined, produced the portable boat" described
above, which proved very useful during the
campaign. Soon after Col Buchanan went to
Washington, and there he got patent in his
own name for the boat Thus Tichenor
