Leaving his luggage at the humble inn in this sittle village, which numbers but about three han- @red inhabitants, white and black, yoar corres- pondent inquired the direction to the residence of the Hon. Alehandés H. Stephens, the best beloved politician in the State of Georgia. Walking to the eorner of a street, a short distance from the inn, eur informant pointe i in a northerly direction, and said, ‘There is Mr. hens’ hi where that white gate is, an yi see that light’’—for the eon bad set, and the curtains of night were closing around. in a few minutes your correspondent found himself within the enclosure and walking up a broad avenue toward Mr. Stephens’ heuse. Upon a copacious porch in front ef the dwelling, fine hound dog bayed deep mor ve that a stranger was of “Down, pup!’ jeted the dog, and we entered the house. The first obiect ew was that of a person, apparent! tly formed youth, walking thoughtfully through a wide pas- sage way that extended from one eide of the welling to the other, and open to the air and sun- sbioe at either end.

Mr. Stephens spoke with much earnestness on this subject, and that he religiously believed what he said was manifest from his impressive manner, Pi r.—Baut Mr. Breckinridge, who is supported by the disunionists, is a Union man. Mr. Srernexs—I know that, and it is for that reason, I suppose, one of his supporters in this Btate was led sometime since to say that he (Breckinridge) would probably be the first man the d.-unionists would have to hang. A £ALBATH MORNING RIDE THROVOH TION—HIS VINEYARD, ETO. Beside his home residence in Crawfordville, which covers about thirty acres of land, includ- ing a fine peach and apple orchard, a garden in which the pomegranites are now bursting with their luscious sweets, and fig trees overshadow the ground, and roses of the finest varieties are in full bloom, Mr. Stephens has a plantation about two miles distant, embracing some eleven handred acres of land. A portion of this plantation belong- ed to his parents. His grandfather died and was buried on the spot; his father and mother lived and died there, and the property falling into other hands, it wes not until the expiration of many years that Mr. Stephens was enabled to achieve the prondest object of his life’s ambition, the redemption of his patrimonial estates. He has since added considerably to its propor- tions, and by improving its culture rendered it one of the finest plantations in the coanty. It was to this place that the biggest-littlest man ia the State of Georgia invited your correspondent to take a horseback ride yesterday (Sunday) morn- ing. Our equestrian education had been somewhat neglected in youth, elthongh we had the advan- tages of an intimate acquaintanceship with Dis- brow and other eminent professors of the equine art, and our situation on the back of a horse at this time was Beak novel one, TATESMAN AND CORRESPONDENT. And now behold us, en eheval, passing through the gates towards the road. But what isthis white building—what is this crowd? They are within the limits of Mr. Stephens’ domain, and the people regard him withevident respect. Tue one is a modest looking and yet goodly sized Bx ptist meet ing house, and the people, you see, have come a distance of five and ten miles to worship there. They are both white and black. Christ's blood has sprinkled them all alike iu the South, so far as Ihave seen. There are a number to be baptised, and this, with the knowledge that the Rev. Dr. Hillyer, of Penfield, is to preach, has attracted an ‘™8 PLANTA- unurually large assemblage. Passiog along, to quote a famous noveliaty “two horsemen might have been seen” risiog on the crest of a hill of red clay in Taliaferro county, Georgia, on acalmeummer’s morn. They were apparent- ly engaged in earnest conversation, One bestrode his horse as if he were waxed to the saddle, and the other didn’t. It seemed that the latter did not know of which of four evils tomake a choice—whe- ther it were best to pop over the horse's head, tumble off to the right or to the Jeft, or slide back over his tail. The movements were uuique, un- Coubtedly; but without accident we proceeded. All along the road were vehicles, and horsemen, and horsewomen, going in their neat Sunday at- tire to meeting. Everywhere waa Mr. Stephens saluted with respect; even the negroes would stop, and, taking off their hats, cry, “Good moraia’, mass’ Aleck;” and Mr. Stephens would respond by kindly inquiring after the folks athome. Going down a hill a one horse velicle was driven toward ne. ‘Well, equire, | knew yoa, bat I dida't know who that man was. Did he not take the squire for a man? He was a butcher, and Mr. S:e- ph ens ordered a beef to be slaughtered and carried to his house for the uses of “Liberty Hall.’ The conversation during the ride was interesting and to me instructive, as it opened a new volame on the subject of Southern life, manners, rights and a At one point my horse was about a length in the reer, when Mr. Stephens observed, “Bl: berry is rather lazy this moraiog."’ We gave Black- berry a crack, ond Blackberry came near making blackberry jam of its rider. In the course of the conversation Mr. Stephens reiterated his apprehen- eet for the future of the country—said that the leaders did not know what volcanos were rambling beneath them—and, p inting to a large oak whose upper branches were decayed, said that, like those branches, the leaders in the country bad become corrept and rotten, and that the ins tions poison was fast hastening to the trunk—the masses of the untry. a the ride through his plantation Mr, Stephens pointed out his vineyard, comprising ir acres of land. The vines are of the Catawba os. f } vs arle ty, in healthful condjtion, and next year will produce, Mr. 8. caleulates, about a thousand gal- lons of wine. He has alsonear his re: ce about en acre of land, in which he has planted what he intends shall be a model vineyard, and from fine situation, the thriftiness of the first year's growth, and other siguificant reasons, there {a no doubt his expectations will be realized, Mr, @, gevores considerable of his tune to his p!antation, end a day or two since might have been seen sow rye in one of lelds. He has introduced the practice of sub-soil plowing in his cotton and corn fields with great advantage, and the system is being adopted by the planters generally in the neighborhood. 18 nEsPEe- TABLE TREASON? After returning and ing ng Divine service, I was told that it was likely Semator To stop in passing on his way honfeward and with Mr. Stephens, h the evening train from Avgnsta along came the great Southern acitator. His features in the pi es bear a strong resem. blance to him, but they do not dance the oviginal. Mr. Toombs should think of rather a jocks as if he could sing ‘‘ Widow Machreo” with os much effect as John Brougham, to whom, by way, he bears a strong resemblance. And, like one of John's favorite characters, Toombs is ntly waiting for ‘‘ something to tara up.” What do you intend doing ia case of incoln's election? Mr. Toowne— Resist him. Kier.— Without waiting for an overt ac’? Mr. Toomms—We have hal overt acts en already; the personal liberty bills are suMicien’ Far.—Who will commence the revolution! Mr. Toowes—I will, if I have enough to back me to make treason respectable, Ney Mr. Toombs is bonnd for a split if it can possi- ly be obtained, and deserves the merit of sin- cerity. His son-indaw, Mr. Da Bose, of Aagust is strongly entisted in the cance, and so are bun- dreds of others with whom I have conversed. Mr. Toombs, although satisfied that the State will eventually go for Breckinridge, is not so well satis- fied that he will cafry it before the people. lam obliged to omit a sketch of Mr. Stephens’ early life and struggles, and his final triamphe, for want of spece and time. He leaves to-night for Atlanta, en route for the up country, to delivera few speeches, His health is not good. Kv should be stated that while the personal rela- tions of Mr. Stephens and Mr. Toombs are of the most friendly natore, they differ as widely as the poles in relation to the course the State should adopt in the event of Lincoln's election. Mr. Toombs takes the ground that the State should for- cibly resist, Mr. Stephens the reverse. As the fn- tore, so pregnant with momentous events, developes fr, Ste; bene will be found, as be is now, on country. Mr. Toombs is and has been for disanion, ‘That |e is in earnest there fs no reason to doubt, and that he has a strong body to back him is equally true. That there will be hot work in Wash- ington when Lincoln is inau.urated there is no doubt. Five hundred men can be enlisted in Atlan- ta to-morrow under the disunion flag. The move- ments of the Northern Wide Awakes are re,arded with interest. THE BATTLE IN THE CENTRAL STATES, The Conservative Masse: Entering the Con- test--Our Albany, Rye, Burlington and Philadelphia Correspondence, &e., &., &o, NEW YORK. OUB ALBANY CORRESPONDENCE. Aupany, Sept. 20, 1860. The Central Railroad After the Congressmen—Their Ooali- tion with Weed and the Treasurer of the Republican State Commitiee—Lincoln and Kelly on the Regency’s Slate, Be. A flood of light is thrown upon surrounding events by your timely exposé of the plan of the Central Railroad to compass the control of Congressional as they now do of State legislation, and especially in reference to the Pacific Railroad. For ® couple of weeks past the friends of Erastus Corning have been canvassing the county and beseeching those democrats who aided in his defeat at the last {Congreesional election “to give the old mam a chance” to retrieve bis defeat and get himself reinstated by a rencmination and election to Congress nex’ ‘all; that he feels very sore about it, an 1 his only cure will be a re- election. The ‘sore’ epot, however, turns out, accord- ing to your expote, to be the great Paci tc Railroad scheme, ©. Vibbard, the chief Superintendent of the Ceatral Rail- road, ‘s canvassing the a¢joining district of Schenectady for Congress; and 1 am credibly informed that along the line of the road and in every district in the Siate where itis porsible to succeed railroad candilates are to be nominated, The republicane—some of the leaders of whom are to share in the Congrewional and Pacidc Rall- road arrangement—are to aid this scheme; substantial evidence of which is furnished by the fact that Gilbert. C. Davidson, the partner of Corning, who a year or two ago was dropped from the Republican State Committee on account of unsoundness aud ‘potitical infidelity, has egsin, through the aid of Weed & Co., not only been reinstated on the committee, but is now oae of the executive body and the treagerer of that orgaptzation Of course, if Corning, Vibbard or others of bis partners or frierds are nominated by the democrats, “Gil” willepend ap awfal amount of funds to defeat them. Ia return for all this the politicians really believe that Dean Richmond, Vice President of the Central Railroad, who holds the key of the #oft organization ia bis breeches pocket, is to pra- vent the union of the democracy at all bizards, and give the State to Lincoln, who, if eleoted, is pleted to aid and appreve the Pacific “Railroad | or other | schemes be got up at Waslington. The Dean also bas & promige that if it can be done got quietly, Kelly shall be elected Governor. Neither Weed nor Greeley ike Morgau, and he waa dispozed of without much bargainirg. Gov.

For many weeks the «* black republicans, or abolition. jets, as Douglas terme them, bave bad pretty much thelr own way In this portion of the State. Messrs. Ton Ryck and Stratton, being residents of this county, have not neglected the opportunity to push forward the lwdj. crous pretensions of the raileplitter aifurded by the pa. ralysi# of the democratic party after the breaking up at Baltimere. The only awnoyance they have bitherts ex. perienced Las been in the organization of the Union party, mostly composed of old line whigs, in favor of Dell and Everett, but hitherto ¢o operating with the op. position. They voted for members of the Legislature who elected Ten Eyck Senator, and for Stratton se their representative; but they did eo as whigs, Americaae or the “people's party," not as Dutch-Schurz democrats, and “black repeblicans, or abolitionists.” aod how, since Ten Fyck amd Stratton have made the final plunge into the camp of Lincoln, Seward, Sameer, Giddings, Hale and Greeley, they abandon them to the fate of section. liste and traitors. Ic this township thore are some ane hundred and Gfty men, who supported Stratton, now re solved to vote against him. No doublan old line whig >, will be run by them—Col. Allen, BB.

Your editorial, headed ‘‘Glorious news from Pennsylva- nia,” which appeared in last Friday’s Hxrarp, bas becp extensively read im this lattitude, and has contributed immensely to increate the perplexities of the | incola and Curtin leaders. They awaken at last to a realization of their true position, and discover with alarm that the maseee at large have taken the teeues of the great contest in hand, regardlesa of the intrigues of intereeted and de- siging politicians. Thos, Morton McMichael, editor of the North American, a shuilling politioal sheet, is reported to have alleged, some weeks since, that Curtin would come to this city with 20,000 majority from over the Al- leghapy Mountains. More receutiy, bowever, both he and Simon Cameron have delivered themgelves of the fo)- lowing significant language:—“If it were not for the Pre- Bidentia! contest, in the immediate rear of our Goveraor’s election, Foster would beat our man by 20,000.” What a confidence of success in the former statement, snd bow much of dubious hesitation in the latter? The fact ie, that both wings of the democracy, aud at least rine tenths of the Bell and Everett men, are enthasiasti- cally for avy course which will tend to beat the rail-split- ter and bis higher law surroundings; and they kuow fall well that the true way to compass the desired result is to vote for Fuster in the important election which ‘s to fore- ehadow the greater contcet a month later, There is no mistaking the symptoms.
