The Speech of Vice-President A. H. Stephens...the War.
Vice President Stephens made a speech at Crawfordville, Ga., some weeks since, which we find reported in the Augusta Chronicle.
The present war, he said, is emphatically "the people's war." It is the effort of one people to blot another from existence, and it becomes every man in the South to exercise every capacity in aiding the army which is preventing his becoming worse than a serf.
He said, frankly, that the Government, while doing all it can, cannot compass as thorough relief for the army as the efforts of communities and individuals:
In his appeal for contributions he alluded to those whose pursuits, positions, or opportunities had enabled them to make money in these times.
Opportunities to realize unusual profits upon labor or capital, in particular pursuits or trades, were incidents of all wars, and this one was no exception.--These were evils of war. They afford great temptations to frail human nature.
These

The cotton-growing question.
The following is an extract from a speech of Hon. A. H. Stephens, at Crawfordville, Ga., on the inst.
It will set right the misunderstanding of the public of Mr. Stephens's former remarks on the object of planting cotton:
But, besides the products necessary to sustain ourselves to support our armies, and carry on war, we have another clement of tremendous power, if properly used and applied — a recourse and power known in European wars, and unknown to our ancestors in the war of their revolution.
Mr. S. here said he alluded to our great staple, cotton; and he should not have said more upon it at this than barely to ask those present to call to their minds what he had said to most of them last year upon that subject, when he addressed them upon the Cotton Loan, but for some misconceptions that have got in the public mind from a para report of some remarks he made at a meeting lately in Sparta.
Some, from that report, said Mr. S., have taken t

Enforcing the Conscription.
--A correspondent of the Mobile Register, at Crawfordsville Miss., writes:
I am very happy to inform you that matters in this department are assuming a more favorable attitude under the supervision of Brigadier General Pillow, commanding Volunteer and Conscript Bureau at Columbus, Miss.
I had the pleasure of conversing with the General yesterday, and learn from him that he intends to have every man in his department that is fit for duty in the field in less than sixty days. His orders are so stringent that every man between the ages of 18 and 45, not in the army, is required to report immediately for enrollment.
Every bridge, road, and pass, throughout the country is guarded, and every man arrested who has not the proper papers.
Cavalry are scouting the country in every direction and bringing in absentees, deserters, and conscripts, in large numbers.
His plans are so well laid, and his orders so rigidly enforced, that none can escape.
Vice President Stephens.
--This distinguished gentleman is now at his residence in Crawfordsville, Ga., and has recovered from his late illness so as to be able to walk about and resume, to some site at, correspondence with his friends.

Vice President Stephens's views upon peace movements.
The following letter from Vice President Stephens, giving his views upon "peace movements," was written in answer to a letter addressed to him by several gentlemen in the interior of the State of Georgia:
Crawfordville, Ga., September 22, 1864. gentlemen:
you will please excuse me for not answering your letter of the 14th instant sooner.
I have been absent nearly a week on a visit to my brother in Sparta, who has been quite out of health for some time.
Your letter I found here on my return home yesterday.
The delay of my reply, thus occasioned, I regret.
without further explanation or apology, allow me now to say to you that no person living can possibly feel a more ardent desire for an end to be put to this unnatural and merciless war, upon honorable and just terms, than I do. But I really do not see that it is in my power, or yours, or that of any number of persons in our position, to inaugurate any move
