Views OF A. H. SrEPHENs.-The following
letter from Alexander H. Stephens OF Georgia, to
friend in New York city, is published:
Charlottesville, Ga, .I.ne l3.-My Dear Sir:
Your very kind and highly appreciated favor of
the 9Th instant, was received yesterday Allow me
to return my thanks for it. | am improving slow
ly, very slowly, however, from my hurt some four
months or more ago. can now sit up part of the
day. but can neither stand or walk yet, without aid
of some sort I have notwithstanding this Attic
tion, resumed work on the SECOND volume of the
Constitutional View of the Late War Between
the States" I agree with you in styling it the
worst and most .cupable that ever took place on
earth. greatly fear too thatit will, in its ultl-
mate consequences, prove to be most disastrous
one that ever occurred to the principles of constl-
tutional liberty Our constitution, as made by the
fathers, was one Of the most wonderful. political
achievements ever attained by genius and patriot
ism. Had its principles been adhered to, this late
terrible war never would have occurred and the
only hope for the present and the future OF the
country is to bring back the federal administration
to the true principles of the constitution. This can
only be done by a virtuous Intelligent and pat
riotic people.
When bad men conspre to impose their usurpa-
tions ''outside' the constitution, good men every
where must combine to keep all such men out OF
power. This,can only be done by the publication
of truths and by awakiug in the minds of the peo-
pie the sense Of the dangers which are threatening
them, and arousng them to future action before it
is too late. The only proper remedy for existing
evils and the greater ones which appear In the
future is at the ballot-box. -
The great object with me, in the remnant Of my
days, is to do all in my power towards the ncuca-
ton fsuch truths and principles as are essential tor
the maintenance of our institutions, as handed
down from the fathers To this course the future
of nv life is devoted. And Notwithstanding all
that is said and has been said about the rebellion
and the disloyalty of rebels, &C., know Of but one
test of true loyalty in this country, and that is 10y
atty to the principles Of the constitution OF the
United States. In this, and in answering devo;;
ton to them, yield to no man that ever breathed
the air of heaven. / can say no more now, but re-
peat my thanks for your letter. and send you my
kindest regard and best wishes.
Yours, truly, ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS.

USEFUL INFORMATION. The Petersburg (Va-:
Ladeu has learned, in conversation with an olt
gentleman of that city, that for several years pas
he had kept his house free from eockroaehes ane
other vermin, by the use of EPSON Salts. Scattered
freely near the holes through which they enter,
these ugly vistants will seek other homes, and he
assures u.s. also, that strong solution ofSalts, ap
piled externally to horses, will save them from an
noyance by flies; and that where mirrors, picture
frames, &c: have been rubbed with the solution
the flies will refuse to light.
As q preventive against bedbugs or Heas, the
same remedy will be found Of great service but
more efectual one is the recently discovered car
bolic acid or carbolic soap. Animals washed with
this solution will be forever free from insects
Perpetual freedom from rats and mice may also
be obtained by the use this carboc acid or soap
but as this is not always at hand, our old FRIEND
assures US that kerosene oil poured into at-hoes
or rags saturated with kerosene, will Danish rats
and mice effectually.
He has used these antidotes for years, and is
fully convinced of their value They are, at least
simple and cheap, and may be tried.
