To CORRESPONDENTS For the hGndredth time
we will call the attention of correspondents to the
utter uselessness of sending lis communications
unaccompanied with the real name of the writer.
We are constantly receiving notices of marriages
and deaths, and communications in prose and
poetry, many of which are not without merit,
but which cannot be published for want of the
name of the writer 1t is impossible for US to
know who II. or D. is, and therefore the COM
munication, no mat er how valuable, is thrown
aside. We keep notice to this effect constant
ly standing at the head of our paper, and if cor.
respondents will not head it they must forego thu
satisfaction of seeing their productions in print
What possible objection any writer can have tc
making his or her ma e known to- the editor
when he or she know full well that it is not t,
be made public, passes our comprehension.

Life of Alexander H. Stephens.

We referred not long since TO the publication
of this work by the National Publishing Com
pany of Philadelphia. Since then the work has
been issued, and day or two since we found
copied into a cot'mporary correspondence be-
tween Mr.. Stephens and Mr.. Lincoln, which we
will lay before our readers next week. This
correspondence has never before been made pub
lie, and is of the greatest importance, as it shows
rly that many of the actors in the work of
the last few years were not without proper and
timely warning of the consequences which would
follow the adoption of the course pursued by
them.
The work is entitled "Alexander Fl. Stephens,
in Public and Private, with Letters and Speeches,
Before, During and Since the War. BY Henry
Cleveland" From it the interesting correspou-
dence alluded to was taken. Tie work is gotten
up in good style, and is valuable as being
faithful and plain history Of one of tie most re-
markable men of our time. But its whole value
does not consist in this. We have in the life of
Mr.. Stephens much of tue history and causes of
the war heretofore altogether hid from public
view.
The work is comprised in one large volume,
and will not be for sale in the bookstores, but is
published only by subscription The publishers
therefore desire an agent in every county. Those
who desire TO act MS agents for this book, which
can hardly fail 10 be profitable, can address the
