Hon. Alexander II. Stephens.

The Atlanta Herald has the following hand
some notice of Mr. Stephens and his return to
public life:
When Mr. Stephens left the Congress of the
United States, in 1859, it was his intention then
never to eater public life again. He thought
the Government was well established, and that
all irritating questions were settled. He had
spent all the prime of his life to bring about
this result, and he determined to spend the re-
mander of his life in serene retirement at
Liberty Hail."
But when the conflict between the States
came on, he cast his lot with his State, and was
made the Vice President of the Confederate
States without any efforts of his own Serving
his country in that honorable and responsible
position throughout the war, performing his
duties with fidelity. he became. at its close, q
prisoner in the hands Of the Federal Govern
ment ard was cast into a cell at Fort LaFay-
cttc where he remained for several months,
after which he was released on parole.
Returning again to his beloved home at
"Libcrty Hail." he had no other expectation
but to remain in private life, engaging in liter
airy pursuits, producing his celebrated work of
the "War Between the States, - and "School
History" of the United States.
About year ago, Mr.. Stephens name was
brought forward BY his friends without his
solicitation as 4 candidate for the United
States Senate, in which he was defeated
a. an informal meeting of his friends he was
invited to stand for Congress in his old District,
where he had been so often elected to fill that
position, without even being formally nomina-
ted.
The return of Mr.. Stephens to Congress after
fourteen years absence, and after being the
second officer in the so-callcd rebellion forms
an important event in the affairs Of this coun-
try. 1t is with much regret that he again
leaves his home to take an active part in po-
ltical life But he goes to Washington with
heart full of devotion to his beloved State, and
with 10 other motive but to devote his labors
solely in the interests of Georgia and his
country.
