The !Srsets.---Owing to recent rains, the main
thoroughfares we're clean as . new penny
yesterday. and the services Of that Inevitable
dust eradicator. tho Niagara watering ma
chine, were hardly needed, though bestowed az
usual. Tho rattle Of heavily loaded wagons
and drsys, the passgc through the streets Of
armed men, the banners and flags everywhere
streaming in the breeze, together with the hun
dreds Of beautiful ladies, not TO speak Of tho
many specimens Of the rougher sex sprinkle.i
''here and thers,' roads up . "msss Of busy life"
antidote to the possibly dismal feelings Of some
"noble young patriots" whose hopes Of long
and useful career q! had been somewhat damp

would be required to do duty in defence of tho
State, as members Of that useful but unnppre-
ciated body of fsllow-citizens, the miliria. En-
+possurs now that tho militia are called ont in
earnest, some fuglemau will have to give them
specific directions where to 60 and what to do
after the performance Of the initial step IN the
programme of State defence.
The Comreation and the Free Negroes

of the free negro population TO aid in works of
defence, further provides at

Alexander H. Stephens, Dead or Alive.

H. SltputBbs DChu OF hIlNcs
The report of the death of Alexander H.
Stephens, Vice-President of the Confeder-
acy-as the telegraphers say-needs con-
frmation: that is to say, it is not true. 1t
would have been better, all things consid-
cred, had it been quite the reverse. Had
Alexander H. Stephens died six months ago,
he would-as somebody says in Shakespeare
shave lived blessed life" Up to the very
day of the Convention at Milledgeville, he
was making Union speeches, aud winning
the applause of the whole North by the force
of his arguments, and the severity of his de.
nunciations against Secession. He there
fore added to his treachery the meaner crime
of hypocrisy.
The course of Mr.. Stephens, however, pre-
sents phenomena not unusual at the South,
when loyalty to the Union is not question
of principle, but of expediency. He simply
reviewed his calculations, and found his in
terest, under the new light of an irresistible
Secession movement upon the other side.
There are those who say that he is still op-
posed to the revolution, and that he adhered
to it only to retard and discourage its pro-
gress, with view to an ultimate return to
the old Union; and that he has recently, in
private letters, made representations to that
effect. Whether this, if true, is to his credit
is matter upon which there is room for a
difference of opinion.
