The Trial of the Wilsons
Just before going to press, we learn that the
jury in the case of the Wilsons, indicted for
the murder of Thomas Terry, have rendered
a verdict in the case of the younger, and man
slaughter in the ease of the elder.

Marietta Amateur Club.
A full house--a perfect jam—greeted this
gifted company on Thursday night, and well
were all paid for their attendance. A more
delighted audience we never witnessed dur
ing any entertainment in any’ place.
We wish we could consistently particularize
—for none of the names of the performers ap
peared on the programme, and to the public
they are not known. Miss ’s readings
were faultless, and greatly enjoyed. A little
Miss sang “Once I was a Maiden/’ which was
the grandest “ take off” on young ladies, mar
r ed ladies without babies, married ladies with
babies, and young widows, that could be con
ceived ; and her recital of the “Dream of the
Little Match Girl” was perfect, and would
have done honor to the most practised stager.
The gentlemen all acquitted themselves
with infinite credit. Roderic Dhu, Tory O'More,
Rough Diamond, Ac., were magnificently ren
dered. Everybody was delighted, and the
success was complete.
By universal request, it was announced that
the entertainment would be repeated last
night.

Catsup.
Mr. John Peel, Confectioner, has left with
tis a bottle of Catsup of his own manufacture,
which is better than any Yankee article we
ever tried. He did not furnish us with the
receipt; we suppose he has it for sale. It is
re. lly ; superior article.

New Things.
MUCILAGE.
in response to our inquiry about mucilage,
Mr. Robert Wallace, of Marietta, has left with
us a sample manfactured by him. Its adhe
sive qualities are not quite equal to the Yankee
made article, and it does not dry so readily;
bat it answers our purpose. “Scissors and
paste " are indispensable to an editor. We
have Yankee scissors on hand, obtained before
the blockade, which will last till it breaks of
itself; and if we can keep a supply of Mr.
Wallace’s mucilage on hand, we can paste up
many an item before Lincoln acknowledges
<>ur independence.
We have no doubt he could improve it in
these two particulars, and make the sale of it
profitable.
NEW INK.
Mr. J. G. McCallister, of Hogansville, has
left at our office a bottle of writing ink, which
he has manufactured. It is as flue an article
of ink as we ever saw. It flows freely, is of
the proper consistency, is made of vegetable
ingredients exclusively—known only to Mr.
McCallister—and will not corrode a steel pen.
It is really a beautiful ink, and cannot fail to
please.

Red Mark Again.
We are sending out to all our daily subscri
bers, whose time expires before the 15th in
stant, a back number of our paper, with a
cross mark, and the day on which their sub
scription terminates, entered on the margin
of the paper with a red pencil. Let all who
wish to continue renew in time. We cannot
send out our paper without the money in
advance. Advertising is almost nominal,
and we live and are able to publish our paper
almost from subscriptions alone.
And let all who can, send us §5 in advance
for a year’s subscription. It will cost them
less and be of very great advantage to us.—
The time and labor of re-entering monthly
subscriptions is a daily tax on us, while some
other portion of our business is suffering for
want of our attention. ts
The Southern Confederacy Office,
Has a reliable special letter and telegraphic
correspondent at Manassas Junction—the great
attractive field of battle at present. We have
also engaged reliable correspondents from vari
ous points in Virginia. Everybody wants to
hear the news, and all important dispatches or
news items received by us, will be promptly
placed on the Confederacy bulletin.
Quite a number of names on our daily list and
a few on the weekly, will be erased this week,
unless the subscriptions are renewed. We in
variably stop sending the paper at the termina
tion of the time for which it is paid.
Our terms for the Daily are $5 per annum
or 50 cents per month—the cheapest Daily in
the South, that gives the same amount of read
ing matter.
JST 1 In all cases, subscribers to the Daily
“ Confederacy” will be charged at the rate of
50 cents per month for any length of time less
than one year.
In these exciting times it is probable that ex
travagant rumors will get afloat. We caution
the people against them, and beg everybody to
be careful what they believe.

SOU THE RN CO N FEDE RAC Y .
Lieut. Nelms.
We cheerfully give place to the following
note from a friend of Lieut Neltns. correcting
an error in our remarks yesterday concerning
bis position on the question of secession. We
regret that we were led into the error. Wo
made tho statement upon information that we
deemed altogether reliable The writer of
those remarks was not in the State at the time
of the election last year, and up to the Ist of
January following ; hence, he was not person •
ally cognizant of Lieut. Nelms' position.
Messrs. Editors: In your remarks on the
character of Lieut. L. A. Nelms, in your pa
per thia morning, you say ;
“Georgia seceded in opposition to the judg
ment of Mr. Nelms, who did what he could to
prevent what he thought was precipitate se
cession.”
In this you unintentionally do injustice to
the memory of Lieut. Nelms. The contrary
of what you say is true: From the moment it
was ascertained that Lincoln was elected,
Lieut. Nelms was the zealous advocate of im
mediate and unconditional secession. 1 know
whereof I speak.
Respectfully,
A FRIEND.
October 11th, 1861.
We take the following items from The
Richmond “ Enquirer” 7th of the instant.
Yankee Affection for the Negro.—We
learn that three out of fourn negros,pilots and
boatmen, who made their escape at a certain
point on the North Carolina coast, to one of
the Yankee vessels, endeavored to return to
their homes, and were shot in the attempt.—
They were worked so bard by the Yankees
that they could not stand it, and were shot
down like dogs when they tried to get away.
The Belgian Steamship Congress Seen.—
The ship Antarctic, Capt. Stouffer, which ar
rived at New York on Wednesday from Ant
werp, reports that on the Ist instant, in lati
tude, 49 21, longitude 31 04, she saw the Bek
gian steamship Congress, from Antwerp, Au
gust 24th, bound to New York, under canvas
alone, her machiavry being apparently disa
bled.
An Incident of the War—Two brothers,
one living in I’ourismouth, N. IL, the other
in New Orleans, owned four ships. The South
ern brother hoisted on two of the ships the
Confederate flag, and the vessels were cap
tured by the United States Navy. The North
ern brother hoisted on two of the ships the
Stars and Stripes, and those vessels were cap
tured by the Southern privateers.
Grand Jury Presentment.
We, the Grand Jury, chosen and sworn for
the first week of the October Term of Fulton
Superior Court, beg leave to make the follow
ing presentment :
We have, through our several Committees,
examined the books of lhe Clerks of the Su
perior and Inferior Courts, and the Ordinary’s,
and find them neatly kept; but we could not
make such an examination of them as we
think should be made, and we recommend the
Inferior Court to appoint some suitable person
or persons to make such examination as shall
be satisfactory.
We find the County Treasurer has re-
ceived $2306 70
And has paid out the sum of 131 S 65
Leaving balance in his hands 0f..988 05
We find that the Tax Collector for
1860 should have paid into the
Treasury $13658 98
But has.paid over only 6536 34
Leaving bal'uce still due the County $7122 64
We regret to see at so late a date so much
money remaining in the hands of the Collec
tor, and recommend the proper authorities to
give the subject their special attention.
Through the report of our Court, and the
Superintendent of the Poor House, we find
that
The amount expended for the first
three quarters of the present year
amount to $939 47
The supposed income will amount t 0... 550 00
Leaving a defect of $439 49
The Court report the premises in good con
dition and under good management.
We find, in the hands of the Ordinary,
for school purposes, the sura of. .$4,963 00
And that there has been paid out . 4,863 00
Leaving a balance on band 0f........ 5100 00
In our efforts to relieve the families of the
soldiers, we offer the following resolution :
Resolved, That the Inferior Court appoint a
treasurer to receive and disburse the funds
raised by county tax ; and that a commission
er for each Ward of the city, and two for each
militia district in the county, be appointed to
receive applications for relief, and draw on the
treasurer for such amounts as in their judg
ment will give present relief, and that each
commissioner be required to make a return of
the name of persons and the amount appro
priated on the first Tuesday of each month.
There is a general coinplaint of bad roads
throughout the county, and we earnestly call
the attention of the Inferior Court to this sub
ject.
In taking leave of the Court, we return our
thanks to his Honor, Judge Bull, for his uni
form kindness to this body; also, to N. J.
Hammond, Esq., Solicitor-General for his po
lite attention.

To the Voters of the Sth Congressional
District.
Camp near Fairfax C. IL. I
Virginia. Oct. 3,1861. )
My d'cllow-Citizens of the Blh Congressional
District of Georgia : I trust you will not dec tn
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. I had previously receiv
ed many assurances, inducing me to believe
that if I would become a candidate there
would be no opposition to iny 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 seat and that the
people would be violating either the letter or
spirit of our Constitution to vote for me. The
gentleman arrives at tliis 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.”
And then he makes the following astound
ing declaration: “He (meaning myself) is
holding office under the Confederate Stales, to
continue twelve months 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. Brown, of
Georgia, as Colonel of the 7th Georgia Regi
ment. This fact, you will see, entirely de
stroys bis 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 lhe Superior Court,) two gentlemen
distinguished alike for their great abilities as
Jurists, and their devotion to our Constitution
al rights. Upon the reception of Mr. Field
er's address, I wrote them the following letter,
to which theirs is a reply :
Headquarters, )
Ith Regiment Ga. Volunteers,
October 1,1861. J
My Dear Sirs : 1 have authorized the use of
my name as a candidate to represent the Bth
District of Georgia, in the next Confederate
Congress. Some of my opponents are insist
ing before the people of that District, that I
am not eligible to a seat in Congress under and
by virtue of the 6th Section and Ist Article of
the Confederate Constitution. Knowing the
great confidence the people have in your opin
ions and your great abilities, and not wishing to
uioZate either the letter or spirit of that Consti
tution, which, with yourselves, I am ready to
defend upon the battle field, I ask you to fur
nish me with your views as to my eligibility
and the propriety of my candidacy.
With 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 Countv, Va.. )
Oct. 2d, 1861. J
Col. L. J. Gartrell :
Dear Sip.:—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 or spirit of the 6th Section of the Ist
Article of the Confederate States Constitution.
Upon reference to that Section we find the
portion in question to be as follows:
“ And no person holding any office under
the Confederate States shall be a member of
either House during his continuance in office.”
The facts in your case 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 fronf* May last Your Regiment
(the 7th) was raised in Georgia from among
the militia of that State, armed and eauipped
by Georgia, and all its officers, field and com
pany, commissioned by Gov. Brown. In what
sense it can be reasonably contended that you
hold an office " under the Confederate States,”
we are unable to see. We are clearly of opin
ion, therefore, that if the people of your dis
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
the Constitution ? Let us inquire briefly into
the history of this clause. We borrowed it (as
we did most of the others) from the old United
States Constititution. 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 cither House. If the House itself
should determine Quid it is the sole judge)
that you could not hold the two offices, you
could, on the 22<1 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
gross, even if he held a commission in the
regular army, and he could take his seal 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 sec any impropriety whatever. If the
freemen of the Bth 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 ou account of it, with the
wants and condition of the army, and it inay
be well for the 30,000 volunteers in the service
from Georgia to have one or more members of
their own class iu 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 &c.,
THOMAS W. THOMAS,
R. TOOMBS.
Having shown the utter fallacy of Mr. Fiel
ders objection to my eligibility I shall not
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 the time nor the inclination to
consider those past events. My business now
is to help whip the Yankees and maintain,
against our infamous foes, the lights, honor,
and liberties of the people of the Confeder
ate Slates 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 in
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 he is enjoy
ing ease and pleasure at home? Surely he
cannot be so" ungenerous. But, my Fellow-
Citizens, I deem it unnecessary to say more.
My name is before you. My position hereto
fore and now, as well as ray efforts to defend
your liberties upon lhe battle-field, are known
to the country, I claim only to have done my
duty.
I shall not neglect the duty 1 owe the brave
and gallant men under my command to go
home and canvass for office, but am content to
trust iny interests in 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, 1 shall ever be
grateful and shall strive to serve you faithful
ly and efficiently. Foryour 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 soon bo crowned
with a glorious success,
1 am your friend and ob’t serv’t,
LUCIUS J. GARTRELL.

are being made to convey them forward ; but
the insufficient railway power, the washing
away of bridges, and perhaps other causes,
has produced delay.
