STEPHENS the Vice. President of the late Con-
federate States, was born in Taliaterro county,
Georgia. February H. 1912. In 1886 he entered
the lower House of the State Legislature, serv
ing for five years, devotng himself especially to
internal improvements. In lS42 he entered the
State Senate. In 1S43 he was elected to the
lower House of Congress, being regularly re-
elected seven times and serving until 1859. His
career in connection with the Rebellion is too
familiar to The people to need repetition here.
His celebrated speech before the Secession Con
| yention of Georgia, delivered November IA, 1860,
was one of the grandest detenses OF the Union
| that was ever made But his ambition daluded
| him into accepting the Vice-Presidency of the
| Confederacy, ana on the 2lst of March, 1861, he
made another great speech at Savannah in
| exposition and vindlcation of the Confederate
| Constitution, in the course of which occurs the
| following memorable pasSage:-"This stone (the
| great truth that the ne2ro is not equal to the
| white man), which was hrst rejected by the irst
builders, is become the chief stone OF the corner
or our new edifce." Mr. Stephens now claims a
seat in the United States Senate, having been
elected TO that position over the Hon. Joshua
