The Election in Cass.
GOT IT RIGHT AT LAST.
A friend informs us that there was an error
in the result of the vote in Cass county, as fur
nished to, and published by, us a fe.v days
ago. He has furnished us with a correct
return, as follows:
Akin 699
Sheatssso
Milner 523
Sims49o
Ryalsloo
We beg our friend, who kindly furnished us
with the above, to excuse us for declining to
publish his remarks about the political ante
cedents of the candidates, and the further re
mark he makes about those who heretofore
acted with one of the parties of the day.—
Though we. know his motives were good—for
he includes himself in the strictures he makes
we, nevertheless, beg to differ with him, and
think it were best unsaid. We have been in
fluenced alone by honest and patriotic mo
t.ves, to have forever hushed in the silence
of oblivion, the last smouldering spark of old
political issues ; and we prefer to keep every
tliing out of our paper that we think calculat
ed in the least to revive such feelings We
hope our friend will excuse us.
Another Georgia Regiment.
On the 21st instant, another regiment was
organized and mustered into the Confederate
service for twelve months, at Fairburn, and
will soon leave that place for active service.
David J. Bailey, of Butts, was elected Colo
nel; Al. M. Tidwell, of Fayette, Lieutenant-
Colonel ; and ——— Tharp, of Bibb, Ma
jor
Lieut. John Lindsay was elected Captain of
the Company, which had been commanded by
Col. Bailey.
“ Gwinnett.”
The second article of “ Gwinnett ” is inad
missible. We gave notice that our columns
were open to the discussion of the eligibility of
Col. Gartrell to a seat in Congress, and to the
propriety of his running under the circum
stances. Is it right, is it proper, for Col. Gar
trell to leave his command to serve in Congress ?
If “ Gwinnett ” thinks it is, or if anybody else
thinks it is not, we will give them a hearing
in our columns on this point, as well as on the
score of eligibility.
In the article now before us, “ Gwinnett ”
discusses the qualifications, abilities, <fcc , of
Col. Gartrell, and compares them with those
ot the other candidates. It is exactly such an
article as we have heretofore stated we could
not admit, unless paid for as an advertise
ment.

From the LaGrange Reporter.
Card from Hon. B. H. Hill.
LaGrange, Ga., Oct. 17th, 18G1.
Mr. Editor:—For several weeks I have
been asked by various friends, in person and
by letter, to consent that my name be announ
ced for a seat in the House of Representa'ives
of the first Confederate Congress, under the
permanent Constitution.
For a longer period, and without any agen
cy of mine in word or act, directly or indi
rectly, my name has been suggested by oth
ers in different portions of the State, for a
“eat. in the Senate of the same Congress.—
For the many expressions of confidence ten
dered me, voluntarily, by gentlemen of both
old political parties, I return my grateful ac*
kuowledgments. Such expressions, in them
selves, largely reward one, whose great pur
pose in all this revolution, has been to pur
sue such a course as would tend, however
humbly, to unite in cordial harmony all our
people. Truly such happy unity at home,
compensates for many of the evils of that
wicked war which we are compelled to resist
fr om abroad.
Unalterably, fixed as is my purpose, never
to seek any office, it would be still more im
proper to consent to be supported at the same
time for two offices, whose terms co exist for
at least two years. I, therefore, respectfully
decline to consent that my name be announ
ced as a candidate for Congress, from the 7th
District; and hope the people will unite on
some one of the many gentlemen in the Dis*
trict, who are so able to represent them.
With earnest hopes for the future of our
imperiled new Confederacy.
I am yours, very truly,
B. H. HILL.
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
Our Special Correspondence from Colonel
Stovall’s Regiment.
STILL WAITING MAKING A REGIMENT DE-
RATING SOCIETY OVR PAPER, AC., AC.
Camp Davis, Lynchburg, Virginia, )
October 17th, 1861. j
Dear Confederacy: I have not burdened your
readers with the perusal of a letter in some
time. We are still waiting and expecting or
ders to move, but they have not come, and I
am not able to give our future address. I will
inform you and your readers when we DO real
ly emigrate. We have had the question pro
pounded to us time and again, “ When do yon
go, and where?” The only answer we can give
is, that “we will go when and where we are
ordered.”
W’eareready to move at a moment’s warning.
Our health is good, and our confidence increas
cd thereby. When we heard that, there was
likely to be a brush at Manassas, our spirits
rose to an exulting pitch, in the hope that, be
ing only a few hours by rail from the spot, we
might get there to see the second grand defeat
of the Grand Army. So far we are disappoint
ed, but we try to hide our disappointment by
telling all sorts of yarns and all sorts of—well
I will not say what
Our drill is fast approximating, as near as
can be to perfection. Day by day our Colonel
has us out in the field practicing in the school
of the battalion. Nothing interrupts this daily
routine of three hours, two in the morning and
one in the evening. We have now a good bat
talion, for a very valup.ble addition has been
made by the Secretary of War of two more
companies from Georgia: One from Columbus
—the “Jackson Avengers,” Captain Bradford,
and the “ Baker Volunteers,” Capt. Rudler, of
Augusta. This last named Captain, I presume,
your readers are familiar with, having been
one of the few brave men that stood side by
side with Gen. Walker of Nicaraguan fame.—
These companies are quite an acquisition to
our corps. There will be danger to the enemy
wherever they are met. The artillery compa
ny has been ordered to rejoin us. With this
efficient arm of the service we predict our suc
cess. We number now seven good companies,
with the promise of the Secretary of War to
turn us to a regiment shortly.
The boys all say that the order for us to
go to N. W. Virginia was only intended as a
feint to make Rosencranz retreat, and yet the
very day we were last ordered to go, he (Ros
encranz) quietly withdrew over the Gauley.—
If the Yankees are so frightened at us over
100 miles distant from them, how or what will
be their feelings if they should see our can
vass whitening the crests of those monuments
of nature! with our rifled caxnon ball whiz
zing all around and about them, whilst grape,
shell and canister are dealing out death in
their ranks ? Will nobody be hurt, then, think
you ?
The great ’eature of our encampments now
is our Debating Society. It is a novelty lor a
camp, but it is a fixed institution, with a Con
stitution and By-Laws, and about 40 members.
Capt. McDowell, of Company D, is our Presi
dent, Sergeant-Major Turner, Secretary Our
question is, "That the interference of foreign
powers, in the war between the United States
and this Confederacy, would be dangerous to
free institutions.” There! behold us around
our camp fires discussing this great issue which
is agitating the whole of Europe 1 I believe
our decision will be a good one, and Europe
will be thrown hors dv. combat when it is made
known.
Your paper continues to come regularly—
hope you will still think of us, and that our
friends will write; for a line from home is
truly gratifying to a poor soldier, When any
of you write tell us all about the old home
stead—the farm, the stock and the crops—all
about the marriages and deaths; and don’t
forget Miss so-and-so; tell all about home, with
its changes ; and if Susan Ana, or Kesiah got
the ambrotype or ring, and if she thinks of us
often, and what she says ; besides, tell us how
grandpa and grandma are, and wind up by
sending a bushel of kisses from mother and
sister? More anon. T. D. AV.
[For the “ Confederacy.”
Free Trade.
In addition to what has been already said
of the effect of the tariff on the price of goods,
it may not be unprofitable to hint to the mer
chant, that free trade will save him time and
money.
Under the tariff system, he purchased his
stock in Liverpool, or Havre, took it to the pet
city of the government (Nev; York) because
there, and there only, he could be certain to
obtain specie to pay duties.
To get the specie, he had to resort to a com
mission merchant, at a cost of two and a half
per cent. The commission merchant then be
comes his business man, and charges him two
and a half per cent, more for receiving and
foi warding; add to this a tax to the State and
city of New York, and you have six or seven
per cent, to pay, which could and would be
saved under a system of free trade.
The merchant buys his stock in Europe,
comes to Charleston or Savannah withit, drays
it to the railroad depot, puts it aboard the
freight cars, gets aboard a passenger car, and
receives his gooes by the time he has collect
ed money to pay the freight, without being
out a single cent for advances, receiving and
forwarding, taxes, freight to coasters or steal
age—which last charge, being undefined, some
times amounts to more than all the others.
In my first letter I think I proved that the
tariff depreciated the price of produce to the
full amount of the tariff—l think much more.
Before the tariff - act of 1819, when commerce
was unobstructed by wars, embargoes or non
intercourse laws, cotton ranged from 20 to 33
cents, and never was less than 20. Since the
passage of that act, cotton has never been as
high as 20 cents but once, (1825) and that was
in consequence of a mammoth speculation by
a combination of large houses in England,
France and Germany, which broke every
Am erican firm that touched the article. Now,
seeing that the demand has been encroach
ing on the supply for the last twenty years,
no good reason can ne given why, if the Con
federate Government will open our ports free
to the trade of the world, and resort to direct
taxes, by which therich will be required to
pay their fair proportion of taxes to support
the government, and the poor man required
to pay no more than his just proportion, and
by which every tax payer will be induced to
watch the government, curb its extravagance,
and keep it honest; —I say, if this is d ine, no
reason can be given why cotton will not range
from 20 to 33 cents, as it did before the act of
1819, unless, as many say, it is too good to be
true.
Again, Gen. James N. Bethune took from
the report of the Secretary of the Treasury of
the U 8 , tables extending from 1822 to 1856,
by which it is proven that, no matter wheth
er the crop was a large or a small one, when
ever the tariff was high, cotton was low, and
whenever the tariff was low, cotton was high.
My next proposition is to prove, that to put
one dollar in the treasury, by means of the
tariff, it e sts the consuming people two dol
lars.
I assume the people are the sovereigns, (the
Government) the President and Congress are
the administrators of the government select
ed by the people —the rich and the poor—to
administer the government honestly, justly,
fairly and equally between the rich and the
poor. I have shown that the tariff bears 100
times heavier on the poor man than on the
rich man. What can induce the Congress to
resort to such a system ? Is it because, as
Judge Wright says, “ the capitalists will not
submit to have their capital taxed ?” Are the
members of Congress afraid to tax them, lest
they turn them out, that they resort to a sys
tem that costs their poor, confiding constitu
ents two dollars to collect one ?—as I now will
proceed to prove.
Suppose the administrators of the govern
ment want 30 millions to carry on the gov
ernment. An importer says, I will pay you
30 millions if you will let me import all the
goods. Agreed. Now, everybody knows, when
the importer sells the goods, he sells the tar
iff with them, and at the same profits.
They say the tariff costs the impor-
ter $30,000,000
He charges job’rs 15 'p* cent, for it.. 4,500,000
Tarifl’ costs jobber .‘14,500 000
Job'r charges retail merch. 15 p ct. 5,175,000
Tariff costs retailer 39,675,000
Retailer charges consumer 30 p. ct. 11,902,500
Cost of tarifl’ to consumer 51,577,500
Add increaseed price paid for do
mestics, and all the custom
house expenses, low at 10,000,000
And you have the enormous 5um...561,577,500
which it cost the people to get $30,000,000 in
the treasury ! Look at the figures, my poor
countrymen ! Will you submit to it because
your Congressmen tell you that capitalists
will not submit to have their capital taxed ?
Very respectfully,
JOHN A. JONES.

[For the “Confederacy.”
The Stay l.avv-“-An Amendment.
Messrs. Editors: Some are in favor of the
abrogation of this law. They, however, are
few —consisting of those who owe nothing and
want to collect what is owing to them.
I apprehend the Legislature will not only
not repeal the act, but couiinm- it till the end
of the war, ami for at least two or three years
afterwards. Should the wai last one, two,
three or four years, which is quite probable,
the country will, at its close, be exhausted,
and debtors would be in a worse condition,
pecuniarily, and less able to meet their liabil
ities than they would be now, were the act
repealed. Suppose the act had not been pass
ed at the last session, what would now be the
condition of the people ? Seven-tenths would
to-day be bankrupted and their property, the
result of long years of toil and self-denial,
would be in the hands of a few capitalists
and sharpers, who are always on the alert to
help themselves at the expense of the poorer
classes of the laud. To repeal the sot at this
time would reduce to a state of absolute in
solvency one-half of our people, owing to the
hardness of the times and the utter impossi
bility of raising money from the sale of any
thing they have to dispose of in the way of
property.
I suggest an amendment to the act Let
the law be amended to prevent suits for the
recovery of debts, while the war lasts. As the
law now is, a creditor can enter suit and ob
tain a judgment against a debtor’s property—
though he cannot execute the judgment.
Thousands of debtors are in the army, and
have no chance to communicate with their
families and friends at home. Creditrrs com
mence their suits frequently on notes and
accounts that have been paid off or settled,
and there being no defense to them, a snap
judgment is the consequence. If the debtor
had been at home, such suit would either not
have been instituted, or, if instituted, success
fully met and defeated by counter testimony
by such debtor. Your readers are aware that
a citizen of Fulton County, absent on service
in Virginia, can be as well sued as if he were
at home with his family. The officer serves
process by simply leaving a copy of it at the
deiendant’s “most notorious place of abode.”
This done, the suit is legally commenced, and
progresses as if the party had l.een at home
and were present in Court. 1 know instances
where plaintiffs have taken advantage of the
absence of defendants, and run fraudulent,
paid-off notes and accounts into judgments—
the defendants in Virginia knowing nothing
of the saits against them, until their rights
were concluded by the judgment—and you
are aware that a judgment is conclusive, and
cannot be set aside or a new hearing had on
it, unless it be carried to the Superior Court
for a new trial upon a writ of certiorari—ap
plication for which must be made by the debt
or within three days after the judgment is ren
dered ; and the soldiers in Virginia can’t do
this. The case is forever closed against them,
and they will have it to pay.
This injustice, to my knowledge, has been
inflicted on men now in arms, by a class of
patriots who refuse to fight the battles of their
country, rest in ease and comfort at home,
and always ready to lick up and voraciously
swallow the hard earninigs of men more wor
thy than themselve. The wails and tears of
the poor, the widow and the orphan have no
influence to move them to compassion and an
indulgent generosity. They are deaf to the
cries of the destitute, the starving and the
suffering, and are never satisfied until they
have gulped down the last farthing due them.
The Legislature should attend to the craving
appetites and capacious maws of these gen
try, and restrain their depredations on the
community within reasonable bounds.
A CREDITOR.
Col. Gar'trell.
Messrs. Editors: I was really amused this
morning on reading the article of “Gwinnett,"
in advocacy of Col. Gartrell’s eligibility to a
seat in Congress; and I was astonished that a
man pretending io be the friend of another,
would put such a trenchant weapon in the
hands of opponents.
He confesses that there are men in Gartrell’s
regiment who are better qualified to take the
command of it than he is. If this is really
the case, he, as a patriot ought to resign at
once, and rot wait to see if he, ctn first ba
elected to Congress If he is well qualified
and efficient in the office he now holds, he
ought not, as a man who loves his country, t »
resign it, for the s.<ke of a civil office It
seems to me that it is in the highest degree
improper for Col. Gartrell to seek to rid him
self of the toils and responsibilities of the
field, if he is of any use where he is. If he
is not useful, he ought to resign at once, with
out trying to secure anotbej office.
OBSERVER.
—• • -
Fun in the Army.
The Fail fax correspondent of the Charles
ton “Courier” wriiing on the 11th instant,
says ;
Speaking of Bourbon, it is positively dis
tressing to one with a syspathizing nature, to
see the straits to which the soldiers are oc
casionally reduced by the want of their ac
customed stimuli. Liquor of any kind is a
rarity, and the more difficult it is to obtain,
the greater is its abuse. Speculators among the
the ssldiers are selling rifled stuff, which is a
cross between sheet lightning and North Car
olina turpentine, at three dollars a quart,
while the Provost Marshal has confiscated a
lot which, at auction, would not bring fifteen
a gallon. Now and then some sharp captain,
while foraging, secures enough to last himself
and comrades one drink around, but this is
the exception and not the rule. Even private
packages are not exempt from examination,
and the presence of half a dozen straws from
the crevice of a box is evidence on which of
ficial wedge or axe is brought into requisition,
to discover the liquid iniquity, Smuggling is,
therefore, again coming into vogue. Several
days ago, a terrible rumpus wrs created iu
one of' the camps, by the developemeut of
twenty or thirty men so intoxicated as to be
unable to engage in the evening dtill. An
examination was at once set on foot to ascer
tain where the liquor had been obtained, but
without success The next day another par
ty were also drunk, and for neatly a week the
occurence was repeated, it spite of the utmost
vigilance. Finally, one of the delinquents, a
royally happy Irishman,,was brought to head
quar.ers, where the perplexed officers were
holding a consultation over the s'range pro
ceedings.
“ The top o’ the mornin’ to yez gintlemeu.”
“Silence 1” thundered the Colonel—“ You’re
drunk, sir.”
“ Dhruuk, is it share ; begorra, its only de
lighted (hat I am to receive a letter from me
swateheart.”
“ Tell me where you got your liquor, in
stantly sir.”
“ Whisky dy 'e mane, Kern’l —1 hav’nl had
a smili of the craytbur for the lasht six
wakes.”
At this juncture one of the officers called
attention to a little stream that was trinkling
down the Paddy’s ear.
“ What’s that ?” demanded the Colonel.
Mike slipped his hand up to the delinquint
auricular, and drawing his finger across his
month to taste the drop be now felt, an ex
pression of comic guiltiness took possession
of his face, as if he had discovered something
going wrong, and he replied.
“ By the powers, Kern’l, but its a warrum
day. I belave I’m prespiring.”
“ Take off your cap, sir.”
“ That I will, sur, to any gintieman like
yer honor,”
Mike’s head was as wet as a soaked dish
rag; and it was now observed that his cap,
ussually so pliable, was stiff and unruly
with some suspicious contents.
“ Hand it to me sir.”
“ Indade, Kern’l, but its nothing but me
handkerchief.”
He had to pass it over, however, and much to
the mortification of Pat, the officers drew
forth an object which at first puzzed the cred
ulity of every person present,and which would
be an equal puzzle to yourbestguess. It was
about eighteen inches of the entrails of an ox,
dried and prepared for this novel use, filled
with a pint or two of ‘‘torch light possession,”
and tied at beth ends. Unfortunately, for
Mike, one of these had become loose, and his
extraordinary “ prespiration,” led to the long
sought discovery. The‘ milk in the cocoa
nut” of the Regiment being thus accounted
for, the delinquent was dismissed for extra
duty, and to give the Colonel and his brother
inquisitors an opportunity to let out the broad
“ guffaws,” wiiich had been accumulating
during the strange examination. Others of
theseintestinal arrangements were subsequent
ly found, and I need not add that no further
trouble has been experienced there from sur
reptitious drinks.
Not long ago we had a greased pig race ;
the porker to be the prize of any man who
caught him by his slippery cauda, but unfor
tunately the appendage came off and the game
was “ blocked.”
Then there are sack races, blindfold at
tempts to stick a hot pocket- in a certain tar
get, with any quantity of immense practical
jokes.
You see, therefore, that our men will not
all die from inanition. Fun, life, and joylli
ty, are written in every camp, and no one
could pass by at certain hours, when the mer
cury of happiness is at fevet heat, without
feeling satisfied of the supreme content of
the Army. PERSONNE.

Gen. *cott-—Mrs. S cot!---Virginia..
The Richmond correspondent of the Mem
phis “Appeal.” writing on the sth instant,
says ;
Mrs. General Wingfield Scott., it is said, de
signs a visit to Richmond at an early day, in
the hope of saving certain property inherited
by her from her father, old Col. John Mayo.
Mrs Scott is represented to be a very ardent
Secessionist, but whether this political bias
has been given her by the act of sequestration
or results from a spirit of natural antagonism
to her husband, or whether indeed the whole
story may not be fabulous, I pretend Jnot to
say. The General himself would doubtless
gladly furnish her with a passport, if he
thought he should never see her again, for he
has two mortal hatreds in his military bosom,
first for Mrs. Scott, second for Virginia; ha
treds equally deadly, but the lirst of longest
standing, and yet the old wretch feels com
punctions for his base and parricidal conduct
towards his native State. A few days since,
he behaved with almost overpowering polite
ness towards a lady on her way to Virginia—
the daughter of his illustrous preceptor in the
law, and had the audacity to send his regards
to a lady in this city, by whom his recent con
duct is regarded with prqper contempt and
abhorrence. More than two months ago, it
was stated that lie had written to a relative in
a. neighboring county desiring that he might
be buried in Virginia soil. Perhaps this re
quest may be granted. Some unknown hand,
you know, strewed flowers upon the tomb of
Nero.
