PHILADELPHIA, October l4.--A special dis.
patch TO the Bulletin from Baltimore, to-day,
says North Carolina paper of the 4th inst
states that letter was hourly expected from
the rebel Vice President Stephens, defining
his position and views on the peace question
now agitating the public.
They also contain the following remarkable
statements: .. n
Vice President Stephens has told gentlemen
in Raleigh that his views inclined strongly for
an immediate effort for peece by negotiation
Mr. Stephens is represented as saying that he
thought the time had come for the people of
the South to make known to the North, es-
pecally the peace party Of that section, that
they are ready to settle upon The soyreignly
Of the States, and restore the old government
should the North guarantee the right of the
property, and the majority Of the people so
declare
The gentleman who furnishes the news is a
man of high character. He says he conVers-
ed with the Vice President, and would not be
likely TO make misre presentations and vet
there are many who can hardly credit the
story Mr.. Stephens has written a letter
for publication, and the matter will soon be
put at rest
The same papers also say that there ia a
powerful and growing desire in Georgia to
stop the war. Now, we have no doubt of it,
but we hardly expect such gentlemen as Vice
President Stephens and Governor Brown to
lend themselves in favor of reconstruction
upon any terms.
