From the Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist.

FROM tho Auguska (da.) ConsututionaIist.
A few days ego We spent day with
Mr.. Stephens He is q close prisoner in
his room, and, although the brain power
still shines royalty and with undated
force, his physical energies are very much
prostrated. IL will be pleasure for our
readers to know that his second and con
cluding volume on the "War Between the
States" is very near completion. He read
us samples from it, and, from them, we
should judge that this second volume
will prove much more entertaining to the
general reader than the 6rst, which neces-
sarily contained large amount Of detail
Mr.. Stephens summing up of the char
acters Of Lincoln, Stanton and Andrew
johnson is worthy Of Tacitus.
The mail Of last night brought us
the Macon Telegraph and Messenger, from
which We extract the following pathetic
and noble letter. 1t will be read with
emotion everywhere, and the hearts Of
true Georgia will ferventsy pray thai
Gods best blessing shall descend upon
the head Of the good, great man at Craw.
fordville. Mr.. Stephens writes:
II am now little better than I have
been am able to sit up, read and srite
a littlo but ] cannot walk or oven stand
without assistance.
"Please accept my thanks for the in
terest you manifest iu my we'll being,
both physical and spiritual. Be assured
| am perfectly resigned to the will Of
God IN ali my Affections. l endeavor,
with the patience Of Job, to bear What.
ever awaits me under His dispcnsations,
and with . full faith in His mercy,
through the atoning Of the Redeener
and also further, with 6gm belief that
ali things work together for the good of
those who love God and put their trust in
Him.
IA leading object with me fos years -
indeed from early youth, has been to live,
so to co1duct myself in all the duties
of this probationary term, as to be ready
to leave this sphere Of existence for an.
other, q brighter and a better one, when.
ever the summons fos my departure may
come. This world, however much may
have been engaged 10 its atcive scenes
during my day, has never had any real
attractions for me. l have, it is true,
taken deep interest in them, but at all
times more from q sense of duty than
from any other consideration.
II now feel deep interest in what is
going on in our State, and in reply to
your inquiry on this subject, all l cen
say is, that if l utter no word to the pub
lie, and take no part, even feeble rs am,
it is only because l do not see that any
thing l could say or do could possibly
effect any good. God, in His iu6nate
mercy, only knows what is to become Of
this country and its institutions.

A HORRIBLE THEORY The Pail Mall
London) Gazette has revived tho old
question whether death instsnt.oeously '
follows upon the severance Of the head
from the body. In letter to the Gau.
lois, DR.. Pinel asserts that deca pita lien
does not Immediately affect the brain.
The blood which flows after deca pitation
comes from the lssgs vessels of the neck,
and ehere is hardly any call upon the
circulation Of the Uranium. The brain
remains intact, nourishing itself with the
blood retained BY tho pressure of the
siy. When tho blood remaining in the
head at the moment Of separation is ex
haustcd, there commences . state, not of
death, but Of inertia, which lssts up 10
the moment whom the organ, no longer
fed, ceases to exist. DrS Pinel estimstes
that the brain fuds nourish ment in the
rssiduary blood for about On hour, after
deespitatiou. The period of inertia would
last about two hours, and absolute death
would not ensue till after the space of
three hours altogether. II, he adds, a
bodiless head indicates. BY no movement,
tho horror Of iss situation, IL is because
it IL physically impossible for it to d. 90,
all the nerves which serve for the trans.
mission Of orders from the brain to the
trunk beiag severed. But thcrc remains

her capitalists towards all public enter

is being done OH this end of this road.
and it is the intention shortly to put a
large number of hands upon ii. The

favorable one for the company, and rem

city, which has done so much for it, will
reap great and lasting benefits.

anticipating, under Democratic rule
more honesty in the conduct of our State
