a uHujfecat. Frllay Horning, August 28. 1*63. IM PORTANT CORRESPONDENCE—-AW EXPO SURE. . (COPT.) Griffin, O.a , Aug. in, 1863. ' '< >L James M. Smith Dear 8ir—We arc beginning to look about for somo one on whom to bestow our votes for congressional honors. Your name ia mentioned and strongly urged in some quarters in that connection. We therefore propose to propound to you certain questions and j f our answers, though they will be held ns strictly confidential, will determine our luturc course. We desire an early answer, that wo may go to work. We see the peo ple of North Carolina are running candi dates for Congress upon the question of the appointment of commissioners by Congress to negot iate with the U. 8. Oort, for peace. It they should succeod in electing such members, and they move in Congress for the appointment of such commissioners, •vill you favor or oppose the more? and for "'bat reasons V Arc you in favor of a prop osition for peace being made by the South? or arc you for fighting on until the proposi tion comes from the North? A conserva tive meeting will he held in Clayton county "ii Saturday next, at which something may b‘‘ sai l about u congressional candidate. Wc are tired of the war, and want it stopped ou some terms, and if your answers suit us von may calculate upon our support if you m». 1'lease answer as soon as you can make it convenient, and oblige, Yours truly, A. O. MURRAY. (.Copy.) Camp 13th Ga. Reg., near Orange ) Court-house, Y.v, Aug. 18,1833. ) Mr. A. (). Murray : 8rn: Your letter of the 7ih inst., stating that my name is mentioned, and strongly urged in some quarters, in connection with i ho approaching Congressional election in the Seventh District of Georgia, and pro- pounding certain questions and requesting my answers thereto, has been received. I icivo little time to give to the preparation of hi answer, and must be brief. 1 have been absent from Georgia over a v< ii, and during much of the time have been i> -i mated as uot to be able to hear from my i tiuily even. 1 am entirely uninformed as io the questions which will entei into the < mv r i for members of CCongrcss, in my Hate hut believing it to be one of tg <>f the voter, to bo informed of the opinions ■ i-.indidatca who ask the people to elect them t<» ofllce, upon all questions involving the public welfare. 1 unhesitatingly send you iho following answers to your questions, Hy way of inducement to your questions’ you say that, “Wo see the people of North (’aroliua are running’candidates for Congress upon the question of the appointment of Commissioners by Confess, to negotiate with the l . 8. Government for peace.” I was not aware, until I read your letter, that such an issue as that mentioned had been made before the people of any State in the t -onfederacy. You fail to say how the ques- tion has been presented in North Carolina, whether the candidates you state to be run ning there hold that in the present aspect of <mr a fairs Commissioners ought to be ap pointed, or whether it is supposed that some contingency may arise be tore the meeting of Congress which will render it proper to ap point Commissioners. 1 infer, however, from your letter, taken altogether, that you desire me to say whether I am in favor of the ap pointment of Commissioners to negotiate with the V. 8. Government for peace in our jmsrut situation? My answer to this ques tion is, I am not in favor of the appointment «.i such Commissioners, situated as we are •it present. You desire that I should give my reasons. They are briefly as follows: The wflT is arjyremce upon tho part of the North. lletbre its commencement, it was authoritatively made kuown to tho Lincoln < lovcrnmenf, that we desired that our sepa- ation should ho peaceful, aud that we were ready and anxious to make an amicable ad justment of all matters out of which ques tions might arise to disturb the friendly re lations of. the .wo countries. Our proposi tion was treated with silent contempt. I will not stop now to demonstrate to a Soutli- ern-born man that the North is responsible lor the lirst blow. Since the war began, our Government lias, in all honorable ways, made known to the enemy’s Government that wc are anxious for peace; that all we desire or ask of them is to be left alone, in the enjoyment of the right of self govern ment. Oar enemies kn&w before a blow was ..truck, ihnt war would not be made by us upon them except in self-defence. Their Government has known all tho while that Hostilities would cease upon the instant it should appear that the war was uot intended to be an aggressive one upon the part of the North. Notwithstanding all this, their ar mies have invaded our country, and still oo- i upy large portions of it. Their brutal sol. diery with the full approval of their Govern ment, have destroyed the property of our ■peaceful citizens, stolen our slaves and mur dered our people. In many cases women !i ivc been violated, and feeble old ago and Helpless infancy have alike been driven from 'he shelter of home to be fed, clothed and > ;red for by strangers. As the war lias progressed, the unjust and '“-holy purposes for the accomplishment of •■• aich it was waged against us, have been IJy developed; aud we are advertised that " v ran have peace only upon the condition I unqualified submission to the Waahing- n Government. As Jesuits from this sub- we are notified that our slaves are ' ’ he emancipated, our principal citizen# ined over to tho executioner, and our s '-ales reduced to the condition of Terr it o- if Commissioners were appointed by >3 to treat with the enemy for peace, what ** Proposition could we make through them which would be accepted ? Clearly none, except unconditional submission. I am not ready for that, and more I intend never to be. I may live to see my country conquered. I will not live to consent to its degradation. Just here permit me to ask: Are you ready to submit to Lincoln ? Are there Georgians ready to crawl to bis feet, and with less than the spirit of whipped hounds, to pray for such mercy to their viie bodies, as he may see fit to grant ? Are there those who would be willing to see their proud old common wealth degraded—stript of its sovereignty and converted into Yankee plantations un der the control of “American citizens of African descent” who had proved their loyalty to “the best Government on earth” by the murder of their former masters?— I trust you will answer—there are none such in Georgia. If there be such, let me say to them that, they have no sympathisers in the army. Georgia has beon more fully represented, in the bloodiest battles of the war, than, perhaps, any other State. Every battle field is red with the blood of her children. We have seen our comrades fall by scores and hundreds, always with their faces towards their country’s enemies, and the shout of defiance upon their lip3. They knew well how to die in defense of Georgia’s honor—they did not know how to submit to her vile oppressor; and by God’s blessing their survivors shall grapple the foe wher ever they meet him; and will -nraerprove falso to a cause baptized with their brothers blood. While giving my reasons, it may not be amiss to state that I can never be brought to consent to a “reconstruction” of the Union, I will never consent to take to my bosom tho men whose hands are red with the murder of my kinsmen. I feel that an ocean of blood separates us from them. 1 cannot love them. But what, you ask, do you propose to do ? Iritis brings me to answer your second and third questions. You desire to know wheth er I am in favor of a proposition for peace being made by the South ? or am I in favor of fighting oa until the proposition comes from the North ? The first of these ques tions has been already fully answered, answer the last by saying that I am in favor of fighting on, and on, forever, unless the North withdraws its armies from our coun try, and leaves us In tho quiet possession of all the rights of a free people. While we have one acre of ground to stand upon, or one platoon of men; or wo men either, to lire a gun, I would fight in such a quarrel. And let me say that this is the spirit which animates the soldiers of the Confederate armies. We know more of the horrors of war than you do. We have suf fered more than you have. We have stron, er reasons than you have, to be tired of the war. We expect in the future, as we have in the past, tc Suffer from hunger and thirst, from heat and cold, from fatigue and naked ness, and think it altogether likely that we shall fall in the carnago of battle, at last; but we know what wo fight for, and we are willing, if need be, to purchase our coun try’s liberties with our own blood. If the timid or treacherous are tired of the war, or would submit, let them go to lands where submission to tyranny is no dishonor. There can be no peace here so long as one arm.ed abolitionist is upon Southern soil. This is no empty boasting. The men of our armies are in earnest. They intend that their coun try shall be free, and they do not intend that the counsels of wily politicians, nor the timidity of faint hearted patriots at home, shall divert them from that purpose. I trust you understand me. If yourself, and those you seem to represent, are in favor of submission to Lincoln, then permit me to say I would not be your fit representative in Congress. If you desire a policy inaugura ted which would result iu the abatement of one jot or tittle of our utmost efforts to se cure olir independence, then I am not your man. You should vote for some else if you can find him. You say my answers “ shall Xi e held in strict confidence by you.” Per mit me to say that I cannot become a party to such a confidence. It is tho right of all to know the opinions expressed by me to you, on the subjects briefly touched upon in this letter. I shall, therefore, send a copy of this letter, together with a copy of your letter, to the “ LaGrange Reporter,” and “Atlanta Intelligencer,” for publication. 1 am, sir, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, JAMES M.
