FROM THE PRESIDENT TO THE
QUEEN.
MEMS VIA NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, July 3O.-AleXander
H. Stephens has written a letter to
Montgomery Blair, indorsing the call
for the Philadelphia Convention. In
it he says:
q Individually, my whole soul is en-
listed In the cause of a speedy, full
and perfect restoration Of the Govern
ment under the Constitution, as it
now stands.
He also says he did, in 1860, all In
his power to avoid a conflict of arms,
and that, too, while many of those
now so clam0rous for what they call
the Union cause were giving encOur-
agement, at least, to the extreme men
Of the South, by clearly and decidedly
intimating, if not expressing willing
ness on their part, that the Union
might slide, if the people of the South
so willed it. He concludes by saying,
If the Union shall be restored under
the Constitution, it is his fixed pur-
pose to retire from all connection with
public affairs, so that it may appear
that he is governed by personal inter-
est in wishing for restoration. In
asmuchl as he has been chosen u. ,.
Senator, still he will not hold that po
sition long.

Thursday last, of propeller steamer

party of Indians paid Fort Reno a
visit, and succeeded in driving off 40
