Alexander Fl. Stephens, the Vice
President of the defunct government,
how can we speak of this man9 At the
commencement Of the rebellion he fals-
ed his voice nobly in favor of the Union,
and prophetically indicated where seces-
sion and war wonld end. Later he laid
down The doctrine upon which the South
ern Confederacy vas based-that Of s'a-
very, as the cornerstone of an enlighsen-
ed civilization-which enabled the North
and the world at large to grapne the
question upon its naked merits, entirely
devoid of sophistry, and in this, whether
meant or not, he did the cause Of free
dom incalculabla good. BY the force of
public sentiment he was swept into the
current of reyolt, and was made that
purely nominal officer, yice-President
of the Confederacy. Much as we loathe
rebellion, for the life of US we cannot
see that deep stain upon his person,
which marks Davis, and Lee, and John-
ston, and other conspicuous actors in
the bloody drama. Stephens, the intel.
lectual man of the South, still retains
the fire of his eye, and shows no dimlnu-
ton of mental power, though his always
fragile form bears marks of increasing
age. His conversation is still delight
full, instructing, and candid. Under his
Indifferent and soiled garb, still the scho-
| lar and the gentleman are att times in
the ascendant, and, withoutregard to his
personal fate, he desires information and
expresses opinions freely, almost divesr-
ing one of the idea of ha being in Gov
ernment custody.
Mr.. Reagan, Post Master General OF
the Confederacy, thick-set man. and
somewhat lethargic in his temperament,
one of the members of our party drew
out, found him to be well posted, and
disposed to accept things quite philoso-
nb;cally. The-consegsatinn- -maa-zzntAA
| by the necessity of our departure, but the
tenor of it has been retained, to the cred
it, somewhat of the prisoner. Wheel
er, of cavalry notoriety, good-looking,
though small man, and in other respects,
not particularly marked, proved to be
conversationally disposed, and had much
to say in extenuation of certain acts i'm
puted to his command. G. c. Clay was
not visible, being probably irfa his state
room. His wife is with him.
The idea that Davis had any hand, di-
rectly or indirectly, in the assassination
of Mr.. Lincoln, is Indignantly repudiat-
ed by all these men. On the contrary,
they aver that he received the intelli-
gence with the deepest regret, and said
at once that it was disastrous to their
cause.
Theparty proceeded North, the same
evening, under. convoy af ship Of war,
the Tuscarora, and will soon be creating
excitement almost as intense as scenes
recently passed through, among the peo-
pie of the loyal states.

THE NEW SOUTH.
II. SEARS, Editor and Proprietor
PORT ROYAL, SATURDAY., MAY 26, 1866.
The Last of the Confederacy.


On Tuesday, the 18th day of May A.
ID. 1855, four years and one month after
Ethe surrender of Sumter to the rattle
sxnake flag, it was vouchsafed us to be-
Shoid all that remained Of the Southern
Cenfederacy, firmly and securely held
within limits hardly exceeding the area
Of Fifth Avenue parlor. Lying easily
at anchor, out in our beautiful harbor Of
Port Royal, was the propeller VIM. p.
CLYDE. On board, we had be en- told, were
number. of the prominent officers of
that bogus government, Through the in
strumentality of which this land has
been drenched in blood but chiefly,
the life and soul Of the concern, that
arbitrator, Jefferson Davis, Scarcely,
believing, and with a mind full of crowd
ing memories, reaching from Bull Run
to the surrender of Johnston, terribly
vivid with scenes Of awful carnage, de-
solated hearth-stones, horrible prison
dens, and acres of fresh made graves,
and, with an almost fearful apprehension
that fhe news might be only myth, We
were suddenly brought to full realiza-
ton Of the great event, by being intro
duced to an officer of gentlemanly bear
ING and remarkably fine physique, the
actual captor of the Confederate party in
Georgia. Lit Col D. P. Pritchard. of the
4th Michigan Cavalry-a man Of whom
his noble State will hereafter have oeca-
report, and, with a courtesy we shall
: never forget, kindly invited us to accom-
pany him on board the Clyde, in order
that we might see for ourselves.
Within the limits of that State holding
the bones of the agitator, Calhoun, the
immediate disciple of his doctrines, and
the one upon whom his mantle fell to
carry into execution the nefarious
schemes prompted by his ambition, was
now prisoner of war, biding his time
:or trial, conviction and ignominious
punishment, as the Great Criminal of
the age-a punishment which justice de-
mands shall be terrible, and no less GER
tain than terrible, so that the nation
hereafter may live in peace, and the ma
ie,ty of the law, divine and human, be
sustained.
Jefferson Davis looks more care-worn
than any member of his party. Prema-
ture age seems to have laid its hand Up
on him. Once he had prond and def
ant bearing, when lording it in the Sen
ate, master of his position, and control
ling absolutely the knights of manacle
and whip, and their contemplate min
ions of the North. Now, in his plain suit |
Of gray, slouched hat, form somewhat
bent, and whitened hair and beard, |

department, which, were his hands not
dyed crimson with the blood of our fel-
low-countrymen, would excite the ordin-
ary sympathy evoked by the presence of
misfortune. His wife at his side, and
his children playingaround, unconscious,

is to be entailed upon them--they alone
