PRESIDENT LINCoLN.-A correspondent OF
the New York Times gives an account of con-
versaioos recently held with Alexander IL.
Stephens, the Confederate Vice President, in
which we find Mr.. Stephens opinion Of the
character of the late President Lincoln thus
recorded ..... .. ...
Il asked him if he had known Lincoln. and
he said Yes, very we'll we were in Congress
together, and Lincoln was one of the Seven
Young Indians TO my query who they were,
be said they were seven members of Congress,
consiting of Stephens and Lincoln. together
with Toombs of Georgia, Fournoy, Pendleton
and Preston of Virginia, and Cabell OF Florida,
who, in lS47, banded together for the purpose
of making Gen. Taylor President, and who re-
ceived the name of the Seven Young Indians
from their alertness and adroitness in political
skirmish work. Our people during the war,
said he, had wonderfully erroneous notion OF
lIincoln's intellectual ability. TO be sure, he
had very little idea of the nature OF the Fede,,
raj Government but he was a wise man, and
knew the heart Of the people wel-a trait in
which he resembled Andrew Jackson. He
taught in fables, like .Esop; and in Congress
his speeches were maioly string OF anecdotes
an anecdote and then a point. He Invented
most of them; but they were generally eX,
tremely apt, and full collection OF them would
be one Of the most interesting of books. .
