The Raleigh Register of the sth instant says that the two British vessels which landed at Beaufort, North Carolina, while the Yankee blockading vessels were somewhere else, took on cargoes for Liverpool. When they were ready to sail, the blockading vessels were back at the posts assigned them, and refused to al low the British vessels egress. The Captains remonstrated, but without avail. They sent for the British Consul at Charleston, who came in person, and urged upon them in the name of his Government that, as they found no im pediment in entering the harbor of Beaufort, they had a right to depart unmolested. This was also unavailing. The Consul then proceeded toWashington, and has laid the case before Lord Lyons. The Register does not know but believes a portion of the British squadron has been ordered to Beaufort to give the vessels a convoy on their homeward voyage. Our own opinion is, and has been, that the blockade cannot be long maintained. ♦ • - Our Special Correspondence from Col. Stovall’s Battalion. Camp Davis, ) Lynchburg, Oct. 4th, 1861. j Rear Confederacy: Since my last, informing you of our order to lake up the lino of inarch, wo learn that the department has counter manded the original, and we are therefore still here, literally tired with the inactivity and monotonous routine of camp life. We heard that Governor Brown had telegraphed the Se cretary of War for several thousand troops, including the battalion. At first we could not comprehend this, but our Colonel has in the meantime arrived, and gives us the startling intelligence that our own coast will in all probability bo attacked forthwith, and we now see the force of this demand. The ques tion with us is this: Cun we do more service on the coast than in the mountains of Virgin ia, or at other points in this State? If the campaign closes in the western portion in three months, as it necessarily must, we could boos more real benefit in our own clime.— Those troops will be compelled to seek the best winter quarters, in place of seeking enemies, as the cold is intense—the snow drifting to the depth of 6 and 8 feet, and on level ground it will average 3 feet. This, together with northern winds and the various diseases ac companying that climate, will close the cam paign by Christmas. Nevertheless, one of the beauties i f a good war department is, that they never consult the wishes of uuy body of troops, but act as in their own judgment seems best: hence, we > have no right to say what will bo our destina- { lion. Some of the soldiers are opposed to re- i turning to Georgia until we have gained some ! reputation as a fighting battalion, whilst oth- i ers are willing to go wherever they are called, j We are promised six companies if we go back > to Georgia, but how can we aid Georgia if we j are not sent by tho proper authority ? There are men in this battalion that would fly to ! tho aid of their State without proper orders not that they are undutiful sddiera. but their I love of Stalo would overrule their duty as ; men Our love for the “ Empire State” is unbound- ' cd, and nothing would give us more joy than to repel any aggression upon her borders : but we fear that our destiny is farther on, over the ' m mntains and valleys of the West. We were so confident that this time we would not be disappointed, that we drew upon the s2l due the men as their first instalment for clothirg, and by this means got overcoats, blankets (a few) and shoes. I will say, however, and not in any boastful spirit, that if wo are ordered to the coast < f my native State, ycu will find no truer hearts, braver men, or better fighting material than this battalion of four companies. Their prowess can be relied on, and God grant that we may be a safe body guard for some portion of dear old Georgia. There was great excitement here when our C told the battalion that you were like ly to be invaded, and he says that the same is fell in Georgia. He is ordered to report at Rschmoinl, and has left this morning to know our fate. Now is the time for Georgians to act, and not, like North Carolina, sleep beside their camp fires. The Virginians, of course, share iu your fears, and they confidently be- Here that an attempt will certainly be made SOUTHERN CONFEDEBACY to destroy our property and commit acts of violence unparalleled for atrocity. The Yan kees hate the sight of a South Carolinian or a Georgian; for the prisoners under my charge some weeks since, here in the Fair Grounds, openly declared that these two States were mainly instrumental in bringing about this rebellion, as they call it. They will not hesi tate, therefore, to pillage and destroy, burn and assassinate. We may expect a worse fate on our coast, unless we repel them, than our sister Maryland. How our hearts bleed for , her ! Thousands are leaving the State as fast as the Potomac can bear them over, whilst even the sacred household, consecrated by the presence of woman, is not respected. Daniel E. Sickles, of Key notoriety, is in the South ern portion, arresting women and children of all denominations, whether for or against the South, and a perfect reign of terror has been instituted by the Union shriekers in the shape of Dutchmen, Irishmen and a few of Lincoln’s paid Congressmen. But the day of retribu tion will surely come, for “I will turn far from you the Northern army,’’ says the good book. Os course, we have not yet heard the result of the election in Georgia for Governor. We, too, like you all, had our favorites, and you need not be surprised that we discussed the relative claims of the two aspirants around our camp fires, and Brown and Nisbet men are found where you could hardly expect them. We content ourselves, therefore, with simply “ Hurrahing for Georgia!” Your paper is con tinually looked and hunted up by all, and we hope to have it mailed to us either at Bruns wick or Savannah in a few days; ii not, tby will be done, oh, my country ! T. D. W. To the Voters of the Sth Congressional District. Camp near Fairfax C. 11.. ) Virginia, 3,1861. j My Fellow-Citizens of the Sth Congressional District of Georgia : I trust you will not deem it improper in my addressing you briefly upon the subject of my candidacy to represent you in the next Confederate Congress. A short time since, after mature deliberation, and upon the request of many of your fellow-citizens, I consented to the use of my name for that high and important trust. Iliad previously receiv ed many assurances, inducing me to believe that if I would become a candidate there would be no opposition to my election. My friends insisted that, as my course upon the great question of Southern Rights had been approved and endorsed by the whole people of Georgia, and as my term in the old Con gress had been cut short by the prompt seces sion of our State, an election to the new Con gress was due me. Acting upon these repre sentations, and believing that a majority of the people of the District desired my services again as their Representative, I agreed to be come a candidate, with the distinct avowal of my determination not to hold the place longer than one term, as there were other gentlemen in the District whose friends desired to honor them, and who were equally as well, or per haps better qualified than myself. It seems, however, that I now have opposition—to which I enter no complaint. One of my opponents, Mr. Herbert Fielder, of the county of Polk, has issued a long address to the people of the District, and, without attacking my public course heretofore, endeavors to show that I am not eligible to a scat in Congress, and that the people would be violating either tho letter or spirit of our Constitution to vote for me. The gentleman arrives at this conclusion by a strange misapprehension of facts. He quotes and relies upon the following provision of the Confederate Constitution, viz: “And no person holding any office under the Confederate States shall be a member of either House during his continuance in office.” Aud then he makes the following astound ing declaration: “He (meaning myself) is holding office under tho Confederate States, to continue twelve mouths from the time he was mustered into service.” How, or from whom, the gentleman learned I was “ holding office under the Confederate States” is certainly a mystery. I hold no office under the Confederate States, but am commissioned by Gov. Drown, of Georgia, as Colonel of the 7th Georgia Regi ment. This fact, you will see, entirely de stroys his whole argument. Upon the subject of my eligibility, and the propriety of my candidacy, I beg your attention to the follow ing correspondence with the Hon. Robert Toombs and Col. Thomas W. Thomas, (late Judge of the Superior Court,) two gentlemen distinguished alike for their great abilities as Jurists, and their devotion to our Constitution al rights. Upon tho reception of Mr. Field- I er’s address, I wrote them the following letter, [ to which theirs is a reply : - Headquarters, j 7th Regiment Ga. Volunteers, > October 1, 1861. I j Aly Dear Sirs : 1 have authorized the use of | my name as a candidate to represent the Sth ■ District of Georgia in the next Confederate i Congress. Some of my opponents are insist ing before the people of that District, that I I am not eligible to a seat in Congress under aud by virtue oi the 6th Sect'on and Ist Article of ■ the Confederate Constitution. Knowing the j great confidence the people have in your opin i ions and your great abilities, and not wishing to , violate cither the letter or spirit of that Consti- ■ tution, which, with yourselves, I am readv to j defend upon the battle field, I ask you to for i nish me with your views as to my eligibility ■ and the propriety of my candidacy. V ita the highest esteem, I am very truly . your friend and obedient servant. LUCIUS J. GARTRELL. Gen. R. Toombs and Col. T. W. Thomas. Camp Near Pine Creek. ) Fairfax Conntv, Va . v Oct. 2d, 1861 I ' CM L. J. Gartrdl : Dear Sir:—Your note, dated yesterday, has been handed to us. In that note you in sub stance ask us whether, in our opinion, your holding a seat in Congress, while Colonel of your Regiment, would be a violation of the letter r spirit of the vth Section of the Ist Article ot the Confederate States Constitution. Upon reference to that Section we find the portion in question to be as follows: Ac I no person bolding any office under the t. on federate States shall be a member of j either House during his continuance in office.” The facts in your owe are these You hold the office of Colonel of a portion of the Vol unteer Militia of the State of Georgia., com missioned thereto by her Governor, to serve in the defense of the Confederate States for 12 months from May last Your Regiment (the 7th) was raised in Georgia from among the militia of that State, armed and equipped I by Georgia, and all its officers, field an’d com- I pany, commissioned by Gov. Brown. In what ! sense it can b? reasonably contended that you i hold an office “ under tke. Cons ederate States," > we are unable to see. We are clearly of opin- i ion, therefore, that it the people of your dis- i trict elect you to Congress, you will not vio ■ late the letter of the Constitution by accept- ; ing the trust and taking your seat on the 22d ' next February. Would you, by so doing, violate the spirit of i the Constitution ? Let us inquire briefly into the history ol this clause. We borrowed it (as we did most of the others) from the old United States Const:titution "Why did our ancestors Dut it into the old ? It was to guard against a great evil that prevailed in the British Gov ernment from which we had so recently sepa rated. The King there was the fountain of honor; he appointed all officers, and many were removable at his pleasure. Our ances tors believed that the representative of a peo ple might be subservient to Executive power, and not independent in his action, if he held a valuable office dependent on Executive plea sure. But in what sense are you dependent on the President of the Confederate States ? He did not appoint you, and could not appoint your successor were you removed. He cannot remove you at pleasure, nor even for miscon duct, except by the judgment of your peers and the laws of the land. We are clear, there fore, that your accepting a seat in Congress, while Colonel of the 7th Regiment, would not be a violation of the spirit of the Constitu tion. These are our views; but suppose we are wrong—the difficulty presented is very small. The language is prohibitory of “holding any office under the Confederate States” while a member of either House. If the House itself should determine (and it is the sole judge) that you could not hold the two offices, you could, on the 221 February, resign your com mission as Colonel, and then the objection would certainly disappear. The Constitution does not prohibit a person being elected to Con gress. even if he held a commission in the regular army, and he could take his seat if he resigned. We see therefore, no illegality in your name being run and voted for as a member of Con gress of the Bth District of Georgia, nor do we see any impropriety whatever. If the freemen of the Sth District,see proper to confer upon you this trust, we think you ought to ac cept it. Your military experience certainly does add to your qualifications to represent the people in the National Councils. You are better acquainted on account of it, with the wants and condition of the army, aud it may be well for the 30,000 volunteers in the service from Georgia to have one or more members of their own class in Congress. If the freemen of the Bth District choose to give us one of these, there is nothing in the Constitution or the proprieties of the case to hinder them. Very respectfully yours Nc , THOMAS W. THOMAS. R TOOMBS. Having shown the utter fallacy of Mr. Fiel deis objection to my eligibility I shall not s.op to discuss with him the “enormities of Phil lip 11, and Charles V,” nor what circumstan ces “gave to Europe the Dutch Republic.” I have neither !he time nor tne inclination to consider those past events. My business now is to help whip the Yankees and maintain, against our infamous foes, the rights, honor, aud liberties of the people of the Confeder ate States and I call upon Mr. Fielder to come and assist me. He would then be proving “his faith by his works.” My competitor seems to have a great horror for “ men iu high military commission,” and intimates that , to elect them to high civil station might great ly endanger the Constitution. Is the gentle man afraid to trust men who are now risking their lives on the tented field in defense of of that same Constitution, while be is enjoy ing ease and pleasure at home ? Surely he cannot be so ungenerous. But, my Fellow- Citizens, 1 deem it unnecessary to say more. My name is before you. My position hereto fore and now, as well as my efforts to defend your liberties upon the battle-field, are known to the country, I claim only to have done my duty. I shall not neglect the duly 1 owe the brave . and gallant men under my command to go ■ home and canvass for office, but am content to : trust my interests iu the keeping of the intel ligent, brave and generous people of the Dis trict. If it be your pleasure to elect me as | your next Representative, I shall ever be j grateful and shall strive to serve you faithful ly and efficiently. For your past uniform kind ness, confidence and support, please accept my ; heart-felt thanks. Hoping and believing that, under the guid ance of a kind and protecting Providence, our efforts for Independence will coon be crowned with a glorious success, 1 am your friend and ob't serve, LUCIUS J.

Naval Engagement off the Coast of North Carolina! Capture of the U. 8. Steamer Fanny and Forty-Nine Prisoners, with a Large Amount of Stores—Com. Lynch Commanding—3d Georgia in the Fight! We are indebted to a friend of Madison, Ga., for the following letter, giving an account of the brilliant engagement off the North Caro lina Coast: Elizabeth City, N. C , ) October 4th, 1861. J Mr. Editor: Being thus far, returning from Roanoke Island, and detained for a. few hours, I propose a short account of the 3d Regiment Georgia Volunteers. And first of all: on yes terday, 49 prisoners from Hatteras were plac ed on a barge in front of the camp, who, the night before, had been taken by an expedition commanded by Col. Wright, and composed of the Dawson Grays, Athens Guards and Wil kinson Rifles. The command were on board the steamers Raleigh, Curlew and Juaaluska, a part of Commodore Lynch’s squadron. These steamers were armed with cannon. On Tues day last, at 2J P. M., the whistles sounded, the “tribands” of the Confederate States kissed the rising breeze, and oil'the little army went —Commodore Lynch commanding all the steamers. In two hours and a half, the deep mouthed dogs of war, let loose, told us in camp the work was going on. Presently, quicker and quick er came the booming thunder, and soon sever al together, and then, at regular intervals ; and thus it was until the white flag went up on board the steamer Fanny, a part of the U. S. Navy off Hatteras, and she was ours. She made all the resistance she could, but was taken. Armed with two pieces (one a ri fled cannon) and those 49 men, (one a contra band of war in uniform,) she was carrying immense army stores to the 14th Indiana Reg iment, then establishing a camp about twen ty miles from ours. Y'esterday, the captured Fanny was unload ed, and before now has, in all probability, done us good service. For as we came away, the the cannon, at 5 P. M., when we were fifteen miles off, apprised us that the fleet and army were again iu motion. The Fanny’s cargo is very valuable, proba bly worth $70,000 or SBO,OOO. One item is 1,000 army overcoats. The prisoners are detachments from various companies at Hatteras, and were commanded by Capt. Hart, of the 1 Ith Indiana Regiment. Twelve of them are from the New York 9th Regiment, and were acting as artillerymen. They are sa f e, in good hands, and treated as prisoners of war. Lieut. Harris, of the Home Guards, had them in charge when we left, and all hands on the barge were desirous to find all the coinforts its open decks afford ed, in the bright sunshine. This was indeed an episode in the life of the regiment. Since taking quarters there, they have worked day and night a good part of the time, doing it more rapidly than the Engineer could plan it. Three batteries of guns, so far as the soldiers could finish them, were completed in less than ten days, and the black throated “ peace makers” now lie quietly in their places, readyjo shake the very earth, when an enemy shall dare to pass. It is not right to say fully what, the work is ; it must be sure to realize the labor these fortifications required at the hands of our soldiers. Very much of it was done without proper itnple meats, in a burning sun, or rainy night, with out a word of complaint or dissatisfaction. Col. Wright told me I ought to see the boys cleaning up the ground with their pocket knives, and how they enjoyed the fun. How to have Good Cider.—Prof. Hors ford, of Harvard University, has recently publisned a recipe for improving and preserv ing eider, by means of which the progress of the vinous and acetic fermentations may be arrested at pleasure, and the cider preserved in jus! such a state as may be desired. A cor respondent of the Boston “Journal” says: Put the cider in clean casks or barrels, and allow it to ferment from one to three weeks according as the weather is cool or warm.— When it has attained to lively fermentation, add to each gallon three-foui ths of a pound of white sugar, and let the whole ferment again until it possesses nearly the brisk pleas ant taste which it is desirable should be per manent. Pour out a quart of the cider and mix with it. one-quarter of sulphite of lime for every gallon the cask contains. Stir un til it is intimately mixed, and pour the emul sion into the liquid. Agitate the contents of the cask thoroughly fur a few minutes, then let it rest that the cider may settle. Fermen tation will be arrested at once, and will not be resumed. It may be bottled in the course of a tew weeks, or it may be allowed to remain in the cask and used on draught. If bottled it will become a sparkling cider, better than what is called champagne wine. Prof. Horsford, ot' Cambridge, was the first i to use the sulphite of lime for this purpose, I and to him is due the credit of first calling at I tention to its usefulness. It is in no respect I deleterious, as to the sulphite, into which the I sulphate is changed by the liberation of sul phurous acid, is entirely insoluble, and re- I mains at the bottom of the vessel. The writer has cider prepared in this way two years since, which has remained un changed. and is now a beverage of unsurpas sed excellence. The sulphite of lime, not the sulpAa/et must be used. ♦ ♦ Latest from the Coast.—The blockade is being enforced off this harbor by two steam ers and a sailing vessel off North Edisto. A steamer has been observed for three or four days standing in shore in the morning and steaming off in the afternoon. Several ves sels have also lately been seen off Port Roy al. Some seamen have deserted from vessels stationed at North Edisto. A few nights since two seamen took a yawl boat and are supposed to have gone out to sea, and possibly to some of the blockaders. A schooner which left a Southern port some time since with a i cargo of rice, has been lost on the Bahamas. Her cargo was but little damaged, and has, I we are informed, been saved.
