Vice Pres ident Stephens on the Crisis.

Flce-1IeS iueut olepnenS on the CrlSlS. In speech recently delivered by Vice. President Stephens at Atlanta, he says:
 What is to take place before the end I know not. A threatening war is upon us, made by those who have no regard for right! We fight for our homes. our fath- CTS and mothers and wives, brothers, sis ters, sons and daughters, and neighbors! They, for money The hirelings and mercenaries of the North are all hand to hand against you.
 As told you when 1 addressed you a few days ago, Lincoln may bring his seventy-fve thousand soldiers against us; but seven times seventy-five thousand men can never conquer us. We have now Maryland and Virginia, and all the bor- der States with us. We have ten millions of people with us, heart and hand, to de- fend us to the death. We can call out a million of people, if need be; and when they are cut down we can call another, and still another, until the last man of the South finds bloody grave, rather than submit to their foul dctation. But tri- umphant victory and independence, with an unparalleled career of glory, prosperi- ty and progress, awaits us in the future. God is on our side, and who shall be against us ? None but His omnipotent hand can defeat US in this struggle.
 A general opinion prevails that Wash ingon is to be attacked. On this subject can only say, our object is peace. We wish no aggressions on one's rights, and will make none. But if Maryland se- cedes, the District of Columbia falls to her by reversonary right--the same as Sum- ter to South Carolina, Pulaski to Georgia, and Pickens to Florida. When we have the right we will demand the surrender of Washington, just as we did in the other cases, and will enforce our demands at every hazard and at whatever cost. And here let me say that our policy and con- duct from the first has been right, and shall be 10 the last. l glory in this con- sciousness of our recttude.
 Troops are quartered in the Capitol, who are defacing its walls and ornaments with grease and filth, like set of Van- dal hordes. The new Senate chamber has been converted into kitchen and quar- lers cooking and sleeping apparatus have actually been erected and placed in that elegant apartment The Patent office is converted into soldiers barracks, and Is ruined with their filth. The Post. office Department is made storehouse for bar rels of flour and bacon. Al the depart ments are appropriated to base uses and despoiled of their beauty by those treach- erous and destructive enemies of our coun- try. Their filthy spoliations of the pub- lie buildings and works ofart at the Capi- tai, and their preparations to destroy them. are strong evidences to my mind that they do not intend to hold or defend the place, but to abandon 1t after having despoiled and laid it in ruins. Let them destroy it. savage lke--if they will. We will re- build it. We will make the structure more glorious 'Phenix-like, new and more substantial structures will rise from its ashes. Planted anew, under the auspices of our superior institutions, it will live and flourish throughout all ages.
