37?/ Fell >iv-Citizens of the Sih Congres
sional District <f Georgia: I trust you
will rot deem it improper in my address
mg yon briefly’ upon the subject of my
candidacy to represent yon in the next
Confederate Congress A short time
since, after mature deliberation, and
upon ih''*rcqU‘ i st of ni.'.ny <;f your fel
low-citizens, I consented to the use ot
my name for that high and important
trust I had previously received 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 Congress had been
cue sir rt by the prompt secession of
our State, an election to the new Con
gross wa , due me. Acting upon thes(
representations’, and believing’ that a
majority of the people of the District
desired my sei vices again as their Rep
resentative, I agreed to Leconte a can
didate, with the distinct avow 1 of my
determination not to hold the place lon- j
ger than one term, as there were other I
gentlemen in the District whose friends i
desir ’d f t honor them, and who were j
equally as well, or perhaps liet ter quali- j
tied than myself. It seems, however,
that I now have opposition —to which
I enter no complaint. Otte ol my o| "
ponen‘B, Mr. Herbert Fit. Ider, of the
county of Polk, has issue 1 a long ad
dress to the people of the District, and,
without attacking my public course i
heretofore, endeavors t'> show that I am ;
not eligibli l to a seat in Congress, and ;
(hat the people would be violating eith
er the b-.'icr or spirit of our Constitution
to vote for me. The gon leman arrives
at this conclusion by a strange misa.p
piehecsioit ol facts. He quotes and
relies up m the following- | revision ol
the Co .fwlorate Con dilution, viz :
“.tii 1 no person holding any office
under the (’onfeder it<* Sales snail be a
member ot ei liei II mse during his con- ,
tinuancc in olliee "
And then he makes the following as- i
toun ing' <]('< laratiou: “He (meaning
myself) is holding oil] - e un ia - the Cmt
((•derate States, to con inue twelve ■
months from the time he was mustered >
into service.’’ flow, or from whom, the
gentlemen learned I w-is “holding o'liee

taiulv a mystery. I hul lnn r .

Fairfax County, Ya. L
Oct. 2d. 1861.)
Col. L J. Gurtrell:
Dear Sir: —Your n i'e, dated yester
day, htra becn handed to us.
note you in substance ask us whether,iii*
our opinion, your holding’ a seal in
Congress while Colonel of your Regi*
inent would lie a violation of (Tie letter
>r .-spirit of th i Coufe 1 erate States Con
stitution. Uponwrc sere nee to that Sec
lion we find the portion in question to
bo as follows.
( “And no person holding any office
under th- 1 Confederate States shall be a
member of either House during his con
tinuance in office.”
The facts in your case are these: —
You hold the office of Colonel of a por j
tion of the Yolr.nteer .Militia of the State |
of Georg’ia. commissioned thereto by I
her Governor to serve in the defense of
the Confederate S ates for 12 months
from May list. Your Regiment (the
7th) was raised in Georgia, from
among the militia that State armed and
equipped by Georgia, and all its offi
cers, field and company, commissioned
by Gov. Brown. In what sense it can
be reasonably contended that, yon hold
an office l ‘antle<- the Confederate States, v
wo are unable to see. \Yc are clearly
of opinion, therefore, that if the people
of \mur district elect yon to Congress,
you will not violate the letter ol the
Constitution bf accepting the trust and
taking your seat on 22 1 next February.
AVonld you, by so doing, violate the
spirit of the Constitution? Let us ins
quire briefly into the history of this
clause. \Ye borrowed it (as we did
most of the others) trom the old United
"t iU‘s Constitution. \Yhy did our an
cestors put it into tl.e old! Il was to
guard agains’ a great evil that prevail
ed in the British Government from
which we had so recently s ;i paraled.--
d’he King there was the fount tin of
honor; he appointed all officers, and
many were removable at iiis pleasure.—
our ancestors believed that the repre
! sentat’ve of a people might be subser
; vien’ to Executive power, and not m
i dependent on Executive pleasure. But
if what sense are you dependent on the
Picsbh n! o| the ( <>nfederate Stales.'’
He would nit appoint you'' successor
were you removed, lie cannot remove i
vou at pleasure, nor even for miscon I
duct, except by the judgement of your I
peers and the laws of the land. We i
, are clear, therefore, that your accepting |
1 a seat in C'Migress, whde Colonel of the I
7th R -giinent. would not be a violation .
! ol thespiritof the Constitution. i
These areour views; but suppose I
we arc- wrong- the difficulty presented '
is verv sm til. The language is prohib-j
torv 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) tha f !
vou corld not hold the two offices, you j
<• cild on 22 1 EcLrn try, resign your (
commission as Colonel, an 1 then the ob
ii’cti'Hi would <■ ■; ( iitil\- disappear. Ihe
(* Histitii'i ’ii does not pronibit a person ■
from Ii- iag 'Ji’i'/'-'/ to Congress, even il |
!be he] | a'• >m nission in the regular i
1 armv, ami he could take his seat if he j
i I
resigned.
Wo s -o h Ti-f >ro, a » illegality in your
name being run and vo’ I I>r as a
iniqiil'cr <>! ('■ >: i j re' l s of the Stu I)is!ii< t
offie.-.gii, nor do w 1 see any impro
priety w h H<-ver. If th ■ free ..on of the
Bth Di -trh-’, see pr -p'-r to c infer tipou

R. TOOMBS,
Having shown the utter df
Mr. Fielder’s objection to my eligibility
1 shall not stop to discuss with him tha
‘•(hiormities of I’hlllip 11, and Charles
V,” nor what circumstances “gave' to
Europe flic' D itch Republic.” I have
juHther nor the inclination to
consider past events. My busi
ness nowAif. to help whip the Yankees
and niaiutJtiii against our infamous foes
the rights, honor, and liberties of the
people of the Cons derate States and I
call upon Mr. Fielder tocomeand assist
me. He would then be proving ‘ his
fkith by his works.” My competitor
seems to have a great horror for “men
in high military commission,” and in
timates th 4 to elect them to high civil
station might greatly endanger the
Constitution, Is the gentleman afraid
to trust men who (ire now risking thier
live on the tented field in defense of that
same Constitution, while lie is enjoying
ease and pleasure at home? Surely he
cannont be so ungenerous. But, my
Fellow-Citizens, I deem it unnecessary
to say more. .My name is before yon.
My pesition heretofore and now, as
my (ffirls to defend your liberties upon
the battle-field, arc known to the coun
try, I claim only to have done my
duty.
I shall not neglect the duty I owe
the brave and gallant men under my
c m-nand to go home and canvass for
office, but am content to trust my com
m Hid to go homo and canvass for office
but am content Io trust my interests in
the keeping of the intelligent, brave
and generous people of the District.—
If it be your pleasure to elect me as
your next Repi’esonlaiive, I shsll ever
be grateful and shall strife to you faith
fully and efficiently. For your past
uniform kindness, confidence and sup
port, please accept my heart-felt t.iauks
Hoping and believing (hat, under lite
guidance of a kind and profeet Provi
dence, our efforts for Independence
will soon be crowned with a glorious
sue c css.
I am your friend and ob’L serv’t.

Messrs. Gai i.ding and Whitaker :
1 never was the political Irici.d ol Col.
Garlrell ; I never voted for him. But,
il his name continues befoi’o the votC”S
of the Eight Congressional District of
this Stale, 1 shall vote'for him; and
whet her he can hold two offices at one
time or not,it should make no difi’erence
widi any of those whi.se friends, or ro
I itives are under his command, know
ing how nobly he had sustained himself
in (lie Battle of M tn issaH, and how hu
manely lie treated soldiers under his
command on their ma: ch from Harper’*
Ferry to Winch' s er; and when his men
wore fainting with heal and fatigue, by
putting such on his horse and himself
taking the 1 march on foot, until another
sob ier, being overtaken fainting by the
way-side, was put upon his horse after
the other had been rested. hy should
not such a man Le honored with the
vote of this District.

Extreme thi'-st is one of the most se

mait who has had much experience on
the Western borders and on the
plains suggests to us the fol
lowing as the best remedy
and pr ventive of thbstthat has ever
been discovered: Alter a meal take the
collee .a oiinds boil them over again and
p mr it oft' into your canteen and let it
cool for v nir next march. It. is not only
nurrii’ve and stimulating, but it will

as far as water. Also, take the coffo
