Brown, Governor, <j*c: Sir:—I take my departure lo-day with my Company, the Oglethorpe Light Infantry, for Virginia, under the orders of the President of the Confederate States. It is a source of pro found regret, that any question of controver sy should hate arisea between you and my self. Uuder ordinary oircumstances, I should never question the propriety of any orders emanating from your department. The situ ation in which 1 have been placed by the ac oeptance of my tender of service to the Gov ernment. at Montgomery, in my judgment, leaves me no alternative but to take the arms and military equipments now in possession of my corps. Should I leave them, I must lake one bun., dred of the youth of Georgia, under orders for the war, without the means of offence or de fence, to a country where war is already acta ally commenced. This I cannot do in justice to them, to myself, and to the State I repre sent. 1 have endeavored, by ail the means in my power to comply with your wishes, but I have found no method of extrao ion, except in the course I have thought proper to pursue. I protest that I intend, and never intended, any disrespect to the authorities of my State. It is to me a question of honor and of fidelity to ths important trust confided to me by the Government and the gallant men I lead to the service of the country. I go to illustrate, if I can, my native State; at all even:*, to be true to her interests and her character. I hud hoped that the blessings sod commen dation of every soo and daughter of Georgia, would follow me in this expedition, undertaken for her and her confederate associates, and I still cherish the hope that a common danger, -and a common cause, will put to flight contro versies which should never exist among those whom & common patriotism should constantly unite. I have the honor to be, your ob’l serv’t, FRANCIS S. BARTOW. Atlanta, May 29th, 1801. Col. Fbancis 8.. Bartow: Dear Sir: Your letter of the 21st instant, is received, by whiob I am informed of your re fusal to obey my General Ordern to the Vol unteer Military Companies of ibis State, for- biding them to oarry the arms belonging to the State beyood her limits, without the con sent of the Commander-iu-Cbief. When you reflect, you will doubtless feel that there are good reasons why this sot of insubordination and disobedience to Orders, by one professing to be a military man, aspiring to command, should meet my unqualified condemnation. You commence your military career by set ting at de6ance the Orders of the officer upon whom the Constitution of your State has con ferred the right to command you. What may be the efleot which yeur example may produce upon those whom you are to command, is not for me to determine. 1 trust, however, that each offioer under your command may lake a soldier’« view of his duty, and that none may follow the example set them, in this respect, by their leader. Y’ou are at present beyond the reaoh of State authority, and “State lines,” •o far as you art concerned, have been “oblit erated.” How long this may remain so. de pends upon the developments of the future. It may not he amiss to refer to the circum stances connected with your departure, for the purpose of understanding more correctly the responsibilities you have assumed in leaviug your home aud your family, for others unac customed to the climaie, to protect, while you serve the common cause, in a more pleasant summer climate, where there is a better pros pect of glorious distinction. You doubtless remember, that some weeks sinoe, you tendered to me your gallant Compa ny for service in Virgiula, and 1 refused to ac cept the tender. This refusal, on my part, was not prompted by any doubt, as to the pa triotism, or the valor of the Oglethorpe Light Infantry , but by a sense of duly to the State, and especially to the city of Savannah. If the common enemy should invade the State of Georgia, we have every reason to expect that attuck would be made upon that city.— Yours was a well armed and well drilled corps, residing in Savannah, accustomed to its cli mate, and acquainted with every approach to it, and every inlet in its vicinity. It was in your power, therefore, to do more with your Company, for the defence of the city, than could probably be done by twice the number of troops sent there from other parts of the State, who are equally brave, but with worse arms and less drill, unaccustomed to the cli mate, and unacquainted with the approaches to the oity. Under these circumstances, telieviog that true patriotism requites each citixen of the State—at the sacrifice of personal ambition— to remain where his services are moat needed by the State, I did not doubt that it was the duty of yourself and your Company to remain at your post and defend, if need be, your wivee and your children, your fire tides and your altars, now guarded by others, against the assaults and the desecration of the ene my. It is true, the invasion of the Confederacy is now made upon the soil of Virginia, and it ia the duty of Georgia to tend as many troops as may he neceeaary to meet the invaders up on the border and drive them back. To the accomplishment of tkieobject, I shall in future, as I have invariably dons ia tbs past, respond promptly to every call for troops, mede on me, as the Executive of ths 8late, by ths Uovero- sasot of the Confederate States. Wert it dif ficult to get troops io elbor parts of ths Stats, not exposed as Saeonosh is to sttsek, for ter ries in Virginia, yon might bo justifiable is leaving Savannah, foot now attacked,) and going to the point where the first sttack it cx pectvd. This, however, is not Iks ease. Oo ths coetrar/, there are thousands of troops, from parts ef the State sot likely te be attack ed, whs tee ready and anxious te go to Vir ginia. Indeed, I may truly say, there are made mere them oaa he aeee^ted Year M off letnberdinetitn finds no just Men tion, therefore, in the pies of necessity. Neith er the honor nor the dignity of the State re quired you to goto Virginia, or that you car ry the arms away from Savannah. Soon after I had refused—for reasons above mentioned-to acospt your tender, you pro ceeded to the Confederate Congress, of which you are a member, sod a bill was passed, I suppose, chiefly by your influence, a* you are Chairman of tbs Committee on Military Af fairs, which authorises the President to accept the Military foroee] of tbs States over the bead, and independent of Stale authority.— Under this act, yon were accepted into service without my couseut, and permitted to leave Savannah, and go to Virginia. As long as I have meu and guns, I shall re spond promptly to ev^ry call for troops which the Seoretary of War makes upon me, ae the Executive of Georgia; but I shall arm no troops who disregard State authority, aa you have done, and leave the State without the consent of her Executive. i consider tbs act of Congress, under which you go, a palpable encroachment upon the rights of the Stales. If my conclusions, as to the character of this act, in its effects upon State rights are]doubted by any, the conduct of the Chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, who must be presumed to have been the leading spirit in proouring its passage ; and who was probably the first to avail him self of its benefits by accepting a high com mand under it, (it is said be is to have a Colo nel's commission,) and then, immediately set ting at defiance the constituted authority of his State, in the very commencement of his career under the sot, must, it seems, diepel that doubt from the mind of every reasonable man. Had President Lincoln been invested with the power, under the laws of the United States, to accept troops from the border States, with* out the consent of tbs Governors of those States, he would nevsr have made his requisi tion upon them, and reosived tbs stern, uni ted rebuke which they administered, and which gave such lone to publio sentiment there, that few, if any Companies, have dar ed to tender themselves to him, to aid in the accomplishment of bis wicked designs; but he would have passed by the Executive auth orities and called for Companies from the strongest Union sections of those States, to ral- to defend the Capital, and having received oo rebuke from State authority, would probably have obtained as many Companies as be desir ed. It was to maintain the great doctrine of State rights, and State sovereignity, that we hazarded all on this revolution, aud we should be careful in the inauguration of the new Government, that we do not disregard State rights and trample Stateautbority underfoot. While the President of the Confederate States has my highest confidence and warmest sup port, ard while I am entirely ealisfiod that be has no unholy ambition to gratify, and will never subvert the liberties of his country, by the arbitrary exercises of Executive powers, I am unwilliog to establish a bad precedent, by plaoing power io bis bands, which may he used by some future Napoleon, whose unholy ambition may prompt him,’under the plea of necessity, to place his heel upon the Con stitution, and ascend the Throne, by the use of the military power, without the consent of the States. Were 1 to arm Companies tendering direct ly to the Secretary of War, 1 must leave un armed those who recoguize State authority, and make their tenders to roe, as the Execu tive of the State, as I could not have arms sufficient to supply both. The result would be, that Companies from weak points which ought not to be taken away, would frequently be accepted by the Secretary of War, without knowledge of 'the locality from which they tender; and Companies from localities, not exposed to aeeauit, which make late tenders to the Executive, finding other Companies from their own ooumiee already tendered and accepted, would at once change their applica tion to the Secretary of War, and if accepted, would oall on me to arm them, and enable them io this way, to obtain an unjust prefer ence over others, who tendered to the State and are entitled to priority. The result would be constant embarrassment, confusion and dif ficulty, as there would he neither system or fixed policy la the State, in receiving and arming troops. In your letter, you refer to the State which "you represent,” and you say “you go to il lustrate,(if you oaa, your native State'; at all events, to be true to her interest* and her character.” I am not aware of the State auth ority by which you have been called to repre sent Georgia in Virginia ; nor do I admit that a military man. in the act of insurbordi- nation to* State authority, properly illus trates Georgia; nor that aoy on* is true to her past character, who undertakes to trample down the great principles of State rights, so long and so ably maintained against euoroach • ment by her Jackson, her Irwin, her Craw ford, her Troup, her Berrien, her Gilmer, her Colquitt, her McDenald, and a host of other departed statesmen, (to say nothing) of the living whose nemos are the common heritege of her people. In your concluding remarks, you state that you “bad hoped that (he bloasings and com mendation of every son and daughter of Geor gia would follow you in this expedition.’* You have earned away from Savannah, uu der eircumetenoes above mentioned, some of her hreveet young men, who leave moihera and sisters behind. Should the oily be snook- ed or destroyed In your absence, 1 fear you could not receive the commtndetion of moth- era and sisters, who** eons and brothers you took from that city to fill places ia Virginia wbleh thousands or others would gladly have oocopied. Again : it may be that many of our brave- set young men, oalled from other parte of the State, to fill|your places may not babble lo>n- dure tkeclimete, end live through the turn- mer. In thateeoe, I fear, your course ooold net receive the commendation of those daugh ters of Gworgia dear te them. * Fearing that the example set by you may have a had influence upon the Militia of the State, ae iaauhnvdlnatiett teade to anarchy, and desiring that my petition In this matter be properly endorses od, I shall take the lib erty of publishing this i !
