-L’t/ Fell -w-Citizens of the Sih C >ng ee
sional District of Georg'a: I trust ytm
will not deem it improper in my address
ing 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 fel
low-citizens, I consented to the use ol
my name for that high and important
trust I had previous'y 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
mv term in the old Congress had beer,
tui sh-Tt by the prompt secession of
our State, an elec ion to the new Con
gross waj due me. Acting upon thest
representations, and bel.eving tint a
majority of the people of the ihstrict
desired my services again as their Rep
resentutive, 1 agreed io become a can
didate, with the distinct avow 1 of my
determ.nation not to hold the place lon
ger than one term, as there v’ere other
gentlemen in the Di-trict whose friends
desir 'd to honor them, and who were
equally as well, or perhaps better qu di
fled than myself. It seems, however,
hat 1 now hive opposition —to which
I enter no complaint. One of mv o| -
ponen’s, Mr. Herbert Fielder, of the
county of Polk, has issue I a long ad
dress to the people of llie D.strict, ami,
without at'acking my public course
heretofore, endeavors t" show that I am
not eligible to a seat in Congress, and
that he people would Ite violating eitli
<-r the letter or spirit of our ' 'onstii at ion
to vote for me. Ihe gen leman arrives
4 this conclusion by a strange mts.ip
pii'hei.sion of facts, lie quotes a d
relies up >n the foil iwing | revision <»!
the Co federate Constitution, viz :
“And no person holding any ollie,
under the Confederate Sites shall be a
member of ci het II ms 1 during his con
inuance in office ”
And then he makes the following as
toun ing declaration: 14 e (moaning
nvself) is ii tiding ofli *o under the Con

nontlis from the time he was mustered

Dear Sir:-—Your n )‘e, dated yest< r
day, has been handed to us. In that
note yon in substance ask us whether.in
>ur opinion, your holding a seat in
'ongress while I’olonel of your Regi
ment wonLl be a violation of the letter
>r spirit of til 1 Cotife 1 crate States Con
stitution. Upon reference to that Sec
tion we find ihe portion in question to
be as follows.
“And no person holding any office
under the <’onfederate States shall tie 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
Hon of the Volunteer Militia of the State
>f Georgia, commissioned thereto by
her Governor to serve in the defense of
die Confederate S ates for 12 months
from Miy last. Your Regiment (the
7di) was raised in Georgia, from
among the militia that State arine I and
equipped Ly Geo-gia, and all its offi
cers, field and company, commissioned
by Gov. Brown. In what sense it cm
l>c reason ably contended tha’ you hold
an office l 'ande<- the Co 'federate S'a’e.if'
we a e unable to see. We are clearly
of opinion, therefore, th it if the people
of your district elect you to Congress,
you will n't violate the letter of the
•’institution by accepting the trust and
taking your scat on 22 1 next February.
Would you, by so d >ing, violate th”
spirit of the Constitution? Let us in-'
• jaire briefly in o the history of .this
(Titise. We borrowed it (as we did
mos’ of the others) from the old United
states Constitution. Why did our an
cestors pul it into the old! Ir. was to
gu ird . igains a great evil that prevail
ed in the British Govei nmei.t from
wh ch we had so recently separated.—
i'he King there was the lonntlin of
; h m >r; he app lintea all officers, and
| many were rem ivable at. his pleasure.—
! our ancestors believed th it the repre-
I son tat ve of a p'ople might be subser
i - i n to Executive power, and not in
j d.']>en lent on Executive pleasure. But
I if what sens * are you d 'pendent on the
: P.es Ii nt o| the ■'onfederate States?
' .le wml I not app tint yoir* successor
i w re y m removed, lie cann -t remove
-y m at. pie isure, n>r even f>r iniscon
• bi :*t, rxri'pfby i+»u of y.iHh
l peers and lhe laws of the I tnd. We
■ are clear, therefore, that your accop'ing
. a seat in Congress, while < oloiicl (rs the
! 7 h R 'gimont. would not be a violation
of thespiritof the Constitution.
These are our views; but suppose

Having shown the utter fallacy of
Mr. Fielder’s objection to my eligibility
I shall not stop to discuss with him ’ho*
‘ enormities of Phillip 11, and Charles
v,” nor what circumstances “give to
Europe the Dutch Republic.” I have
neither the time nor the inclination to
consider those past events. My busi
ness now is to help whip the Yankees
and maintain against our infamous foes
the rights, honor, and liberties of the
people of the Conf'derate States and I
call upon Mr. Fielder toconicand assist
me. He would then be proving 1 his
f.ith by bis works.” My competitor
seems to have a great horror for “men
in high military commission,” and in
timates that to elect them to high civil
station might greatly endanger the
Constitution, Is the gentleman afraid
to trust men who are now risking thier
live on the tented field in defense of that
i sa r.e Constitution, while he is enjoying
i ease and pleasure at home? Surely ho
eminent be so ungenerous. But, my
Fellow-Citizens, I deem it unnecessary
to say more. My name is before you.
ly p-si ion heretofore and now, as
i my < ft’ >rts to defend your liberties upon
lhe battle-field, are 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
e nrnaiid to ( go borne and canvass for
ffiee, but am content to trust my com*
m Hid i<) go home and canvass for office
But am content to 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 Representative, I shsll ever
be grateful and shall strife to you faith
fully and efficiently. For your past
uniform kindness, confidence and stip
oort, please accept iny heart-felt t.tanks
Hoping and believing that, under tho
guidance of a kind and protect Provi
dence, mir efforts for Independence
will soon be crowned with a glorious
success.

i Mjssrs. Gaui.dixg and Whitaker:
I never was the ;x>Zt77eaZ friend of Col,
Gartrell ; 1 mv t voted for him. But,
; il his name continues before tho voters
I of the Eight Coi)gj-e.«<j(;i;;>J-R;sUict of
| ilid*~'»Ure, 1 shall vote for him ; and
whether he can hold heo offices at one
tim-' or iioi.it should make no difference
wi h any of those whose friends, or re
latives are under his command, know
ing how nobly he had sustained himself
in tim B ittie of Man issas, and how liu*
' inmely he treated soldiers under his
command >n their match from Harper’s
Ferry to Winches er; and when his men
were fainting with heat and fatigue, by
pulling such on his horse and himself
inking the march on f)ot, until another
sob 1 ier, being overtaken fainting by the
way-side, was put upon his horse after
i the other had been rested. Why should
not such a man bo honored with the

Extreme tbi'*st is one of the -most se—
v re trials the active soldier has to en
counter. During a long march andon
lhe field of a long and hotly contested
Bat le he is often almost overcome with
f itigng • ami thirst. An old frontirs
m m who has had much experience on
the W estcrii borders and on the
! plains suggests t o us the fol
lowing a s tli e best remedy
tnd pr ventive of (hi st that has ever
been discovered: After a meal take the
i-otfee grounds boil them over again and
pour it off into your canteen and let it
cool for your next march. It is not only
mi ritive and stimulating, but it will
I i- ii 'li the thirst more effectually than
water. It will go two or three times
is far as water. Also, take the Cofle
gr uin-ls, as er b- i.ig thus used dry them
■ aiei put them in your pocket ami chew
it interval-, on the march, or during any
ardu in.' s ‘rvi'.'e, and they will likewise
r< ir s■ thirst ami satiate greatly the
cr-ivrags of hunger. This course has
been ’.i-'(' witii the most gratifying re
sults and is worthy of a trial by every
s•! iier in the service. Nashville Pat-
