From the Macon Telegraph. -A Statesman's Some. As the traveler passes over the fJenro-id Rail Road from Atlanta to Ans-osta. lie will obst-rve on llie ftnitimtt oFa ridsre on the out skirts of the village of Crawfordsville, a two story wooden house well shaded by a prove of venerable oaks, and with a lawn in front gently sloping to the south, planted with no great re gard to order in shrubbery and fruit trees. The house is without any pretension to mod ern architectural style but is built after the fashion and in conformity with thejplans of the xhis moacst mansion, with its novel and at-t tractive surroundinjjs, is the domicil of a gen tleman who has occupied no small share of public attention for the last fifteen years. He is ktiwwn lo his immediate circle of friends ns "Aleck" to his neighbors and qequnintnnces of Taliaferro county as "Squire Stephens" and to the Republic at large as "Stephens of Georgia." The name of Alexander H Ste phens, is a household word in the Eighth Con gressional District. Mr Stephens began to practice law in Craw fordsville, about the year J834, and boarded in the family of the estimable gentlemen, who re sided in, and owned the house to which we have referred above. At his death, Mr Stephen" whs left his Executor, and at the sale of 'the real Estate, became the purchaser of the house and twenty acres of laud adjoining and has resided there since that time when not an at tendant on public duties at Washington. Un- j til recently no materia! changes were made in ' the house, and even now to the front view it to.

Recently, two rooms intended for library and be1 chamber, and a small and airy passage have been added to the house. North ot the mansion and on the slope of a hi'l is the Gulden, Orchard and Vineyard, and if a visitor in the month of Angnst should tar ry a day in the quiet village near by, and should gratify a paidonnble curiosity by looking over the place, he will find a well selected and choice variety of fruits peaches, pears, apples, staw berries, grapes, &c. While strolling over the Garden, if the visitor will cast his eve North Eastward, he will see the smoke curling from the chimneys of a farm house about two miles distant and on the highest point of laud iu the circuit of his vision. This is the treasured spot above all others to Mr .Stephens It is his family homestead, the place where his grandfather settled shortly after the Revolution the place where his fa ther lived and died, and the place upon which the Statesman was born. A ride of half hour over a broken but beautiful country will bring you to the farm, and on the right of the road and but a short distance from the farm build ings, on the top of a hiil, is the spot where his father lived. The buildings have all been re- moved, and there are no tra es to the eve of a stranger left to mark the spot, but they are iudelibly impressed upon the memory of Mr Stephens. Just under that clump of trees is tiie spring still flowing pure and free, from which he drank, near by is the grove of wide- spreading oaks under whose refreshing and friendly shade he was accustomed to nlav and all around are the hills nvervwhich he clamber ed when a boy. All these mementoes of youth are treasured recollections with a man whose name is famous for eloquMice, learni'.g and pa- Triousm. irom me Arosioou to the Kio Urande. ; And it is refreshing to observe the influences of j home and hearth and youthful associations, ' upon so exalted a nature and such a lofty in-; teilect to see a great man with such affections glowing, spreading and kindling with tremu- Ions feeling over the recollections of early home j and boyhood, in thislutilitarian, practical, un-l romantic age, makes one feel and know thatj , I 11 , , 1,1 , , . . me srreat events wiin wnicn oiu story rmsrs are not all vain and hollow. Reader, pardon j the episode. The farm, at the deaih of the i father of Mr Stephens, was sold and went into j possession of stranr.ers to the blood, but as soon as the young lawyer secured the means he re-purchased the old homstead. The lands have been in cultivation for more than a half century, but by a judicious system of mauuriiiff, ditching and drainage, many fields which were turned out as exhausted and worthless, have .been re claimed, and under the improved methods of cultivation, yielded a return for labor almost equal to virgin soil. About four miles west of Cra wfordsville, and in full view of the Rail Road may be seen the vineyard of Mr Ax. who has been so successful in making wine from our native grape. The experiments of Mr Ax with the grape conclusively demonstrate that Middle Georgia, in a climate and soil, is peculiarly adapted to the cultivation of the vine, and that vineyards may be made a source of revenue to the Geor gia Planter. Acting upon this idea, Mr Ste phens has made an auspicious beginning his vines at his home aud farm place are thrifty and promising, and if the seasons are propitious next year, we shall not be surprised to see and hear treqnent mention made by connoisenrs of the marvellous flavor and fruity virtnes of Ste phens' Catawba of the vintage of '59. So mote it be. We understand that Mr Ax, has a larsre supply of superior wines for sale. The dry Catawha of the vintage of '56 being the best. This last having passed muster in Washington and Savannah, places, where to nse ythe lan guage of a friend about another matter, there are many good judges. The chief charm, however, of the old house and its appurtenances agreeable as they are, is in the host. Liet a stranger visit this hospita ble home see the devotion of his servants Ihe love and affection of his friends his simple, unaffected and charming manners listen to his words of wisdom, his instrnctive conversa tion his agreeable reminiscences of past times aud the great men who figured on the stage of ictiu when he first entered the political arena let him learn from his neighbors, as he surely will, of his profuse charities, his neighborly kindness, and he will not wonder why Alexan : der H. Stephens is so much loved, revered, and j honored among those who have known him i longest aud best. Character of a Frontiersman 2V r Some idea of the reckless character of tb persons who infest our frontiers, may be infer- , ted fri.iii the following incidents related bjr-'i Mm.

"seTeral gentlemen, among them a retired officer of tbe tillibnsteis, were ei joying the delicious twilight . or that climate on the bank of the river, (Kie ' Grande.) opposite the point where was usually, ' , posted a picket guard, detached from a Mexican military station four miles distant.

His wuger not be'ug accepted he offered to bet 'drinks for the party. Some persons, not dreaming he was iu earnest, indiscreetly took the bet. "The absence of the filibuster was scarcely noticed, and the conversation about other subjects had continued for nearly an hour, when it was interrupted by the sharp reports of a revolver, and a yell which reverted from shore to shore, giving the impression of many voices; these were quickly followed by the rol ling tire of a platoon cf musketry, aud then all was silent . Could that be S V asked one. "Impossible!' was the reply. 'It would be just like him.'. said a third. Shortly after, a "oi containing nu or mice men, was sceu iu.

As it approached the opposite side, its occupants, not wishing to violate the usages of the guard, called out in Spanish they were friends, going to see what was the matter. 'Mailer?

They found the guard dispersed, and S with one aim shattered by a musket ball; with the other he was trying to lead all the ten horses to the river shore." Winsboro Register. Country Papers Their Use. Country papers are of much more use than the people imagine. They aid in directing public attention to I matters in which every citizen of the country is more or less interested. 7 They contribute, in a variety of ways, to the formation of public opinion on subjecs of. public interest. ' They aid in giving character and importance to the county iu which they are published. They stimulate a taste for reading, and dis seminate, in the course of one year, a vast amount of useful information which would reach a uortiou of their readers throuch not any ntlipr , diannel They are of essential use in a family in fos- tering a taste for reading among children. Country papers enjoy an advantage in this res- pect over papers published at a distance; be- cause many of their items are of a local interest which naturally attracts a child's attention. I he advertising columns of these papers are particularly attractive to this class of readers. Country papers, by the local information they contain, are often the means of drawing new and valuable citizens to the county in which they are published. To the objection we do not unfrequently hear urged against the support of country papers that the price charged for them is too high, it may be replied, that the price at which the pa-, per can be afforded, depends mainly upon the number of subscribers. The chief expense in the publication of a paper, consists in setting up the matter, one thousand, or even ten thous- . , rt - , . IT .1 aud copies can be furnished at a very small ad dition to the cost over and above that of com position. The Unacclimated at New Orleans. The New Orleans Delta warns strangers of the fa ta! folly of going to that city at present, and adds: With a spirit akin to madness, hundreds of adventurers have come to the city within the last few days. The admissions into the Charity Hospital are large, and many of the cases late ly admitted are, we learn, tinacclimated persons fresh from regions where the atmosphere is pure and healthy Whenever an epidemic occurs in New Orleans, the idea possesses those abroad seeking to better their fortunes, or desirous of obtaining employment, that there is a demand for labor of all kinds, and a rushing business can be secured if they only brave the perils of the fever, and, in the words of the old sajing, "take time by the forelock." They mistake tbe beckoning of death for that of Mammon, in a wild hunt after the almighty dolls r. Many an enterprising and ambitious young man, who was not content to let well enough alone at home, ar.d ruohed into the midst of an epidem ic, always most fatal as the season advances, soon paid the penalty of his rashness. He leaped upon the levee from the deck of the steamer, vigorous, buoyant, filled with rainbow visions of the future in a few days he was cold and rigid, within the precincts of Cypress Grove. Many, did we say? Yes, thousands have thus voiuhtarily become victims of the deadliest of our setni-trcpical diseases. ,And now shutting their eyes to the danger that threatens them, heedless of warning and the experience of all acquainted with the melan choly facts we have just stated, again strangers are coming to the city. A Bieth is the Stage. During a ' recent trip of the stage from San Antonio to Indtan ola when about four miles this side of San An tonio, a lady pasenger gave birth to a fine boy. There were four men passengers in the stage at the time. This event caused considerable stir amon" the passengers but the driver knew nothing of the mutter until the stage stopped for a change of horses. The mother and the ..i.ild are now stopping in our city, doing well. Beat this who l can. Indiaiwla Texas) Cour ier. i - ' 4 1 1 1
