THE SENTIMENT OF A PATRIOT.
From Judge Nisbet’s Letter of Acceptance.
“IF I HAD BEEN CALLED OUT BY A CONVEN
TION, HAVING IN VIEW THE REVIVAL OF OLD,
OR THE ORGANIZATION OF NEW PARTIES, I
WOULD, WITHOUT HESITATION WITHHOLD MY
NAME. I COULD NOT LEND IT TO SUCH PUR
POSES. FORTUNATELY, PARTIES IN OUR GREAT
STATE *RE EXTINCT, AND HE WHO, UNDER EX
ISTING CIRCUMSTANCES, WOULD SEEK TO DRAW
ANEW THE OBLITERATED LINES OF POPULAR
DIVISION, OR OPEN ISSUES CLOSED BY THE SE
CESSION OF THE STATE, OR AROUSE PREJUDI
CE ■> AND ANIMOSITIES LAID TO REST BY THE
WAR, IS SCARCELY LESS A TRAITOR THAN THE
MAN WHO WOULD APPLY THE TORCH TO THE
STATE CAPITOL, OR, DWELLING AMONG US,
WITH THE REPUTE OF A LOYAL CITIZEN, GIVE
AID AND COMFORT TO ENEMIES.”
.
Mr. Baylor.
In our issue of the 17th instant we indu’ged
in some strictures on this gentleman. On the
same day we received from him the note which
appears elsewhere this morning. We would
nave published it earlier, but have been so
crowded that we could not. We cheerfully in
sert it—not because it. or the interviews we
have had with him, has, in the least, changed
our views concerning him, except in one unim
portant particular, which we will not mention
because it does not, in our judgment, place
him before the community in a more favorable
light.
Mr. Baylor, iu all that he says in his card,
takes issue with only two points in our strict
ures, one of which he greatly distorts; and
deals unfairly with, and singularly fails >n
both.
We stated that Mr. Stephens had never given
him the encouragement “that he thought him
self entitled to" He replies that Mr. Stephens
was one of his earliest friends, and has given
him the “ ir,fluence of his name in a greater
degree than Mr, Mason ever did.” This may
be true, but docs not effect the truth of what
wo said, that Mr. Stophens had not given him
the encouragement Ac thought himself entitled
to. That is what we said, and we adhere to it,
and shall do so till we are convince 1 that we
uro in error. When wo penned that sentence
we did not ‘'guess" nor “reckon "
If Mr. Stephens has given him the influ
ence of bis name—was one of his earliest
friends, Ac.; and if Mr. Stephens also has the
high integrity and capacity which Mr. Baylor
accords, we submit to a discerning and candid
public if it was right—if it was characteristic
of gratitude for favors in the past, thus, either
to make or join in a most uncalled for and un
just attempt to lower him in public estimation
and destroy his usefulness. There was no “live
ly sense of favors to come” in his remarks
about Mr. Stephens. Il is evident he expects
nothing from him in the future. It is also ve
ry reasonable to suppose that a man engaged
in a scheme, such as Mr. Baylor now is, would
want the influence and good offices of such a
man as Stephens in the future, and that if he
had been the recipient of such favors in the
past in furtherance of his schemes, he might
reasonably calculate on them in the future;
and that if he had any hope of them for the
future, he would bo the last man to say, through
a public journal, that Mr. Stephens was not
the man for the Vice-Presidency especially
weald he not assert that there was in Georgia
a ‘ formidable nucleus” of a parly to recon
struct the Union, and so shape his complaints
against Mr. Stephens as to leave the impress
ion on the mind of the reader (withootexactly
saying so) that Mr. Stephens was connected
with such a treasonable movement.
Mr- Baylor’s attempt at justification don’t
screen him.
Again: He represents as stating that Mr.
Stephens bad “opposed Lun in bis views and
aspiration* *’ This is incorrect. We said Mr.
Stephens had not given him ths “encourage
meut he thought himself entitled to.** We did
net say hew much or how little—only that
more was wanted ; and we dtd not say or inti
mate that Mr. Stephens was orjwcd to bis
einca Ou the contrary, we stated, distinctly,
that the rets >n of Mr. Stephens for not giving
turn »* touch en courage me nt as be “ thought
h.mtaif euliUed to,” was not because ha (Mr.
Stephens) was “ opposed to such measures”—
for he ia not. and never was. The position in
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
which Mr. Baylor tries to place as, is not fair.
He complains of our saying that he had not
a “legal residence amoug us. We say this:
that he is not a citizen of Georgia and never
was. A man in a certain sense has a, residence
wherever he has his “washing” regularly done;
but he has not the privileges and franchises of
a citizen—he has not a legal residence—till he
can vote. This, Mr. Baylor cannot do—or, if
he can, he has acquired such a residence with
in a very few days.
Another complaint which Mr. Baylor ver
bally made to us about our remarks concern
him, was that we called him an adventurer.—
We did not mean to say that he was a loafing
street vagabond, or indulged in base habits—
the sense in which he seems to fear the people
will understand and apply it. We meant no
such thing as that; for Mr. Baylor mixes in
good society, keeps sober and clean, and ap
pears to be always busily engaged; but we did
mean to call him an adventurer in the strict
and proper sense of that term, and as the learn
ed world generally understands it. Webster
says an adventurer is “One who seeks occa
sions of chance, or attempts bold, novel or ex
traordinary enterprises.” That is what we
understand by the term, and we again say that
he ia an “ adventurer,” and that it is unbecom
ing in him to be meddling in political matters
of such moment as he has —especially when
every time he says anything on such matters,
it is full of mischief, doing no earthly good and
calculated to do “ only evil, and that continu
ually.”
In our judgement, the boasts he makes about
what his kinfolks are doing is ia bad taste. With
us, he must be measured by his own merits.—
If every kinsman he had on earth was in the
service of Lincoln, it would not lessen him in
our estimation, if he were true to us, and dis
creet at the same time.

THE FIGHT AT HAND ORDER OF GENERAL
LEE.
Camp Bartow, )
Pocahontas county, Virginia, )■
Sept. 11, 4 o’clock P. M., 1861. J
Editors Southern Confederacy: We are just
on the eve, we think, of a great battle. Or
ders were received here from Gen. Lee this
evening, for Gen. Jackson to march his column
forward to Cheat Mountain. We will leave
this camp at 11 o’clock to-night. The attack
is expected to be made early to morrow morn
ing, and, from what we can learn, will be con
ducted as fillows: Gens. Lee and Loring on
the right flank and iu the rear; Gen. Jackson,
with the force now here, iu front; while, it is
thought by many, that the force which left
hereon the night of the 10th instant will at
tack the left flank. The attack of these four
divisions if we are right in the supposition
that they will be thus divided, will, no doubt,
be simultaneously made. All the b >ys are
busy getting ready for the march, and seem '
most eager for the fight.
NESTOR. 1
P. S.: The annexed letter from Gen. Lee was
received and read to the troops here this ev
ening. No doubt, all are deeply impressed ‘
with the importance of a victory in the North-
West, and are determined to come off'conquer- '
ors in the anticipated contest, or die in the ‘
struggle. We give an exact copy of the let
ter above mentioned and hope you will give it ’
a place in your columns. N. 1

The forward movement announced to the 1
Army of the North-West, in order No. 28, from 1
its headquarters, of this date, gives the com
manding General the opportunity of exhort 1
ing the troops to keep steadily in view the
great principles for which they contend, and '
to manifest to the world their determination
to maintain them. The eyes of the country ■
are upon you. The safety of j our homes, the 1
lives of all you hold dear, depend upon your I
courage and exertions. Let each man resolve I
to be victorious, and that the right of self-gov

a defender. The progress of this army must !

teen, AC., AC.
It was believed, for a long time after the
Western A Atlantic Railroad was commenced,
that Chattanooga must be the terminus of the
rail in th's direction from the seaboard. Here
the Cumberlands, with all their boldness, con
fronted, and with the broad Tennessee and the
overhanging Lookout, it would appear to the
untraveled observer that the end was surely
here. But no; the word is “Onward;” and
the locomotive has doubled the Lookout, run
through the “ Raccoon,” crossed the Tennessee,
and thus, getting beyond the mountain range,
has joined issues with Nashville and the Great
West.
It is not probable that there is any more
grand and picturesque scenery in the Confed
erate Sta'es than is found upon the Nashville
and Chattanooga Railroad, in its passage over
the Cumberland Mountains. A few miles
from Chattanooga the Lookout comes down to
the river with a precipitous bluff, and for a
long way the road bed has been made by cut
ting the rock and filling out into the river.—
At some points the rock has been cut to the
depth of 75 to 100 feet upon the upper side,
and, at times, seems to hang out over the road
bed. The crossing of the mountains has been
accomplished at a very great outlay of money
and by the exercise of much engineering skill.
The gradients are of necessity heavy, even then
making deep cuts and high embankments—
the road winding along the escarpment of the
ridges and threading the hollows and moun
tain ravines to their summits. The repairs
upon this road have heretofore been an expen
sive item, and I noticed one cut that had been
covered in, making a tunnel—the material be
ing of such nature that it was constantly sli
ding and filling up the road bed. Permanent
bridges have now been made, and the tempo
rary trestles filled up, making solid embank
ments; so that from this the road will be both
safe and profitable. The Tennessee is crossed
at Bridgeport, upon an island some half mile
wide, probably, and thus far the route has
been closely shut in by mountains, showing
comparatively but little tillage, unless it is an
occasional view of the bottom lands of the
river. Arriving at Cowan, the country opens
out, and thence to Nashville the road passes
through an excellent farming region for the
most of the way.
Nashville is very properly called the “City
of Rocks.” Nearly all the way from Mur
freesboro’ the formation is apparent, and I'me
stone is seen upon the surface Just before
reaching Nashville you pass through a long
rock cut, and when you arrive, you find the
city built upon a rock bluff - . It is not only a
city set upon a hill, but it is founded upon a
rock, and is eminently a Rock City. The stay
in Nashville was too short to attempt any de
scription of the city. What was particularly
noticed, however, was the difference between
the present appearance of the city and what
it was the 22d of February las’. Then, five
hundred flags for the “Union” might have
been counted, fluttering from every window,
upon every street; now, the “ Stars and Bars”
are alone to be seen, and the preparations to
defend them. There is, of course, a great deal
of excitement and anxiety, and especially
since their neighbors over the line have de
termined to remain in statu with the North.—
It is likely to bring the “Seat of War” a little
too near for perfect tranquility.
There are many features about Nashville
worthy of notice, as the Wire Suspension
Bridge, the State Penitentiary, the Capitol,
Ac., Ac. There is not probably so fine an edi
fice in the Southern Confederacy, in an archi
tectural point, as the Capitol of Tennessee. In
many respects it is superior to the Capitol at
Washington.
It is well worth the while for a person visit
ing Nashville to take a peep into the Peniten
tiary. There are at this time upwards of 400
convicts, all of whom are hard at work for
the public good- The building is a hollow
square, the yard of which is used for stone
cutting, as that is, I believe, a favorite occu
pation for convicts. The first room I entered
was the cabinet shop and bucket factory. The
red cedar abounds in this part of the country,
and a great number of buckets, tubs and oth
er ware are constantly being manufactured
here, and distributed over the country. In
another hall were one hundred shoe makers at
work, stitching and pegging with all their
might upon shoes for the army. In another,
they were making saddles and harness, all for
the war, and in another, still, fifty men were
at work repairing old muskets. They were
rusty-looking fellows, (the muskets,) and had
apparently lain in the hold of some vessel for
a month or two; was told they had lately
been landed in New Orleans, and were the
same style of gun used against us in the first
revolution. The last look I took was at the
cells, which reminded me only of the grave—
so narrow and so cold. Alas ! no doubt many
an occupant has wished it was the grave in
deed !
Returning, made a short visit to Shelby
ville, the terminus of an 8 mile branch of the
N- AC. Railroad, in Bedford County. It is a
very pleasant town, and has a population of
three thousand, 1 suppose, and apparently
thrifty in peaceful times. Here is an excel
lent flouring mill, putting through some 125
bushels per day, and not able to fill all the
orders of the market.
The Backet Factory of Mr. J. H. O’Neal, a
half mile from the city, is an establishment
of much importance, and now the Northern
I bucket has been “ kicked,” the enterprise will
| most surely be appreciated. Mr. O’Neal can
easily turn off 100 buckets per day, worth
from $4 to sl2 per dozen. He manufactures
; besides, tubs, charns, lard and butter stands,
and a variety of wares, all of which are done
in the best style. The most of these are made
|of cedar—but the Lynn is also a favorite wood
I for these articles. It is white, very light when
| seasoned, close grained, and has not the ob-
I section that cedar has in giving a bad taste to
[ whatever is put in it- Mr. O’Neal is about
| commencing the manufacture of a wooden can-
I teen for the army. It will be made of cedar,
I and hold somewhat more than the ordinary
tin canteens. The fact is, tin is getting rath
er scarce in the country, and should not be
put to uses where wood may be substituted,
especially when it is better and more econ
omical. This canteen is patented by A. Fitz
gerald, Esq , who has a large contract from
the Government. It will no doubt soon be in
general use, as it has many good qualities to
recommend it besides economy.
Connected with the above establishment is
a Gunsmith Shop under the charge of Mr. L.
J. Marbury, an enterprising mechanic. He
has been at work only a short time, and can
easily turn off 50 Minie Rifles per month, and
will soon enlarge the business. Mr. M. has
invented an iron-breeched gun, which is likely,
to come into use and do good service. These
institutions will spring up in every part of the
land, and should be encouraged heartily ; for
it seems as though the Llock he-ade was going
to shut us up completely to our resources.
DIRIGO.
Sept. 14th. 1861.
Note from Mr. Baylor.
I notice in the “Confederacy” of to-day,
an article in which you have done great injus
tice both to myself and Mr. Stephens. I take
this occasion to say, that Mr. Stephens has al
ways seconded my efforts in what you are
pleased to term my one-idea Direct Trade
movement. Mr. Stephens was one of my ear
liest friends at Washington, and he has given
me the influence of his name in a greater de
gree thah was ever extended to me by Mr.
Mason.
My labors have in the nature of things made
me Cosmopolitan. lam glad you think me a
one-idea man. I have given twelve years of
my life to the one-idea of Cotton in its indue
trial and commercial relations to Southern
power and Southern independence. By the
blessing of Providence, I expect to dedicate
my life in that field of usefulness where 1 can
best serve the Southern cause.
The idea of my “ putting down Mr. Ste
phens, the suggestion is, allow me say, ab
surd. The “ Examiner” correspondent sug
gested what a great many Southern men think
should be done, that it is to give the border
States the Vice-Presidency. The suggestion
was made in terms of respect and considera
tion for Mr Sephens. Mr. Stephens does not
need the Vice Presidency of any country in
order to perpetuate his reputation. While I
have always differed with him iu politics, it is
needless to say, that for his private integrity
of character and honest convictions of public
duty, I have the utmost confidence. I cannot
imagine upon what authority you state, that
Mr. Stephens has opposed me in my views or
aspirations. When I was in Montgomery my
intercourse with Mr. Stephens did not disclose
any opposition on bis part in regard to my
plans. And I take this occasion to say, that
the distinguished gentlemen whom you sup
port for Governor (Judge Nisbet) has been for
years my personal friend, and exerted all of
his influence to induce the Confederate Gov
ernment to give developement and effect to my
direct trade policy with Europe.
You also state that I am without a legal
residence among you, a roving cosmopolite,
&c. Now, sir, I was a resident of Georgia at
the time of her secession from the late Union.
Ten years ago the Legislature of this State
did me the honor to confer with me in regard
to the matters upon which I am now engaged.
At the request, of the late Gov. McDonald and
other leading men of Georgia I have pursued
my investigations down to this time. Three
years ago the Cotton Planters Convention of
this State appointed me their Foreign represen
tative in regard to Direct Trade. I discharged
tny duty to the satisfaction of all parlies and
organized a practical working company the
shares of which, to the amount of $2,000,000,
Georgia guaranteed 5 per cent. upon. I ex
pended out of my own pocket nearly five thou
sand dollars. The Georgia mission to Europe
is the result of my labor, a mission which has
accomplised at least something for the good
cause.
My kindred are to be found on every battle
field of the Confederate States, and I think,
therefore, sir, that there is a certain measure
of injustice in your remarks.
I have said enough to show that you are in
error, and trust that you will so far make
the amende honorable as to inserting this let
ter. C. G. BAYLOR.

Hon. D. F. Hammond :
Mr Dear Sir: The late Convention at Mil
ledgeville, over which you presided, honored
me with the nomination for Elector for the
Sth Congressional District. This expression of
the confidence of that body is duly appreci
ated.
It would interfere with my candidacy for
Congress to accept the position. In declining
it, I express my willingness to canvass the en
tire District in support of Davis and Stephens,
if there should be opposition to them. The
honor was due, at first, to the distinguished I
| citizen of Coweta, Col. John Ray, whose name
. was proposed, atthe same time, as Alternate.

the next Legislature. J. J. THRASHER.
Atlanta, Sept. 11- tde.
To the Vo'.ers of Cobb, Fultou
Kjg*" and Clay ton Counties: As the time
for the election of members to the State Leg
islature approaches, and there seems to be no
one enough interested in the subject to bring
it positively before tbe public—nearly all eyes
being attracted towards the battlefield— and
being physically unable to enter upon the ac
tive duties of tbe soldier, and being further
unwilling to allow the great events of the pres
ent struggle to pass by without taking some
humble part therein, I have concluded that
the demands of patriotism would, in some de
gree, be subserved by volunteering my services
for tbe humble duties of civil life, and, there
fore, place my name before you as a candidate
for Senator of the District composed of the
counties of Cobb, Fulton and Clayton.
