Critical.
The Raleigh Register of the sth instant says
that the two British vessels which landed at
Beaufort, North Carolina, while the Yankee
blockading vessels were somewhere else, took
on cargoes for Liverpool. When they were
ready to sail, the blockading vessels were back
at the posts assigned them, and refused to al
low the British vessels egress. The Captains
remonstrated, but without avail. They sent
for the British Consul at Charleston, who came
in person, and urged upon them in the name
of his Government that, as they found no im
pediment in entering the harbor of Beaufort,
they had a right to depart unmolested. This
was also unavailing.
The Consul then proceeded toWashington,
and has laid the case before Lord Lyons. The
Register does not know but believes a portion
of the British squadron has been ordered to
Beaufort to give the vessels a convoy on their
homeward voyage.
Our own opinion is, and has been, that the
blockade cannot be long maintained.

Our Special Correspondence from Col.
Stovall’s Battalion.
Camp Davis, )
Lynchburg, Oct. 4th, 1861. j
Rear Confederacy: Since my last, informing
you of our order to lake up the lino of inarch,
wo learn that the department has counter
manded the original, and we are therefore still
here, literally tired with the inactivity and
monotonous routine of camp life. We heard
that Governor Brown had telegraphed the Se
cretary of War for several thousand troops,
including the battalion. At first we could not
comprehend this, but our Colonel has in the
meantime arrived, and gives us the startling
intelligence that our own coast will in all
probability bo attacked forthwith, and we
now see the force of this demand. The ques
tion with us is this: Cun we do more service
on the coast than in the mountains of Virgin
ia, or at other points in this State? If the
campaign closes in the western portion in
three months, as it necessarily must, we could
boos more real benefit in our own clime.—
Those troops will be compelled to seek the best
winter quarters, in place of seeking enemies,
as the cold is intense—the snow drifting to
the depth of 6 and 8 feet, and on level ground
it will average 3 feet. This, together with
northern winds and the various diseases ac
companying that climate, will close the cam
paign by Christmas.
Nevertheless, one of the beauties i f a good
war department is, that they never consult
the wishes of uuy body of troops, but act as
in their own judgment seems best: hence, we >
have no right to say what will bo our destina- {
lion. Some of the soldiers are opposed to re- i
turning to Georgia until we have gained some !
reputation as a fighting battalion, whilst oth- i
ers are willing to go wherever they are called, j
We are promised six companies if we go back >
to Georgia, but how can we aid Georgia if we j
are not sent by tho proper authority ? There
are men in this battalion that would fly to !
tho aid of their State without proper orders
not that they are undutiful sddiera. but their I
love of Stalo would overrule their duty as ;
men
Our love for the “ Empire State” is unbound- '
cd, and nothing would give us more joy than
to repel any aggression upon her borders : but
we fear that our destiny is farther on, over the '
m mntains and valleys of the West. We were
so confident that this time we would not be
disappointed, that we drew upon the s2l due
the men as their first instalment for clothirg,
and by this means got overcoats, blankets (a
few) and shoes. I will say, however, and not
in any boastful spirit, that if wo are ordered
to the coast < f my native State, ycu will find
no truer hearts, braver men, or better fighting
material than this battalion of four companies.
Their prowess can be relied on, and God grant
that we may be a safe body guard for some
portion of dear old Georgia.
There was great excitement here when our
C told the battalion that you were like
ly to be invaded, and he says that the same is
fell in Georgia. He is ordered to report at
Rschmoinl, and has left this morning to know
our fate. Now is the time for Georgians to
act, and not, like North Carolina, sleep beside
their camp fires. The Virginians, of course,
share iu your fears, and they confidently be-
Here that an attempt will certainly be made
SOUTHERN CONFEDEBACY
to destroy our property and commit acts of
violence unparalleled for atrocity. The Yan
kees hate the sight of a South Carolinian or a
Georgian; for the prisoners under my charge
some weeks since, here in the Fair Grounds,
openly declared that these two States were
mainly instrumental in bringing about this
rebellion, as they call it. They will not hesi
tate, therefore, to pillage and destroy, burn
and assassinate. We may expect a worse fate
on our coast, unless we repel them, than our
sister Maryland. How our hearts bleed for
, her ! Thousands are leaving the State as fast
as the Potomac can bear them over, whilst
even the sacred household, consecrated by the
presence of woman, is not respected. Daniel
E. Sickles, of Key notoriety, is in the South
ern portion, arresting women and children of
all denominations, whether for or against the
South, and a perfect reign of terror has been
instituted by the Union shriekers in the shape
of Dutchmen, Irishmen and a few of Lincoln’s
paid Congressmen. But the day of retribu
tion will surely come, for “I will turn far
from you the Northern army,’’ says the good
book.
Os course, we have not yet heard the result
of the election in Georgia for Governor. We,
too, like you all, had our favorites, and you
need not be surprised that we discussed the
relative claims of the two aspirants around
our camp fires, and Brown and Nisbet men
are found where you could hardly expect them.
We content ourselves, therefore, with simply
“ Hurrahing for Georgia!” Your paper is con
tinually looked and hunted up by all, and we
hope to have it mailed to us either at Bruns
wick or Savannah in a few days; ii not, tby
will be done, oh, my country ! T. D. W.
To the Voters of the Sth Congressional
District.
Camp near Fairfax C. 11.. )
Virginia, 3,1861. j
My Fellow-Citizens of the Sth Congressional
District of Georgia : I trust you will not deem
it improper in my addressing 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 fellow-citizens, I
consented to the use of my name for that high
and important trust. Iliad previously receiv
ed 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 Con
gress had been cut short by the prompt seces
sion of our State, an election to the new Con
gress was due me. Acting upon these repre
sentations, and believing that a majority of
the people of the District desired my services
again as their Representative, I agreed to be
come a candidate, with the distinct avowal of
my determination not to hold the place longer
than one term, as there were other gentlemen
in the District whose friends desired to honor
them, and who were equally as well, or per
haps better qualified than myself. It seems,
however, that I now have opposition—to which
I enter no complaint. One of my opponents,
Mr. Herbert Fielder, of the county of Polk,
has issued a long address to the people of the
District, and, without attacking my public
course heretofore, endeavors to show that I am
not eligible to a scat in Congress, and that the
people would be violating either tho letter or
spirit of our Constitution to vote for me. The
gentleman arrives at this conclusion by a
strange misapprehension of facts. He quotes
and relies upon the following provision of the
Confederate Constitution, viz:
“And no person holding any office under the
Confederate States shall be a member of either
House during his continuance in office.”
Aud then he makes the following astound
ing declaration: “He (meaning myself) is
holding office under tho Confederate States, to
continue twelve mouths from the time he was
mustered into service.” How, or from whom,
the gentleman learned I was “ holding office
under the Confederate States” is certainly a
mystery. I hold no office under the Confederate
States, but am commissioned by Gov. Drown, of
Georgia, as Colonel of the 7th Georgia Regi
ment. This fact, you will see, entirely de
stroys his whole argument. Upon the subject
of my eligibility, and the propriety of my
candidacy, I beg your attention to the follow
ing correspondence with the Hon. Robert
Toombs and Col. Thomas W. Thomas, (late
Judge of the Superior Court,) two gentlemen
distinguished alike for their great abilities as
Jurists, and their devotion to our Constitution
al rights. Upon tho reception of Mr. Field-
I er’s address, I wrote them the following letter,
[ to which theirs is a reply :

by virtue oi the 6th Sect'on and Ist Article of

j great confidence the people have in your opin

■ tution, which, with yourselves, I am readv to

■ and the propriety of my candidacy.
V ita the highest esteem, I am very truly
. your friend and obedient servant.

Gen. R. Toombs and Col. T. W. Thomas.
Camp Near Pine Creek. )
Fairfax Conntv, Va . v
Oct. 2d, 1861 I
' CM L. J. Gartrdl :
Dear Sir:—Your note, dated yesterday, has
been handed to us. In that note you in sub
stance ask us whether, in our opinion, your
holding a seat in Congress, while Colonel of
your Regiment, would be a violation of the
letter r spirit of the vth Section of the Ist
Article ot the Confederate States Constitution.
Upon reference to that Section we find the
portion in question to be as follows:
Ac I no person bolding any office under
the t. on federate States shall be a member of
j either House during his continuance in office.”
The facts in your owe are these You hold
the office of Colonel of a portion of the Vol
unteer Militia of the State of Georgia., com
missioned thereto by her Governor, to serve
in the defense of the Confederate States for
12 months from May last Your Regiment
(the 7th) was raised in Georgia from among
the militia of that State, armed and equipped I
by Georgia, and all its officers, field an’d com- I
pany, commissioned by Gov. Brown. In what !
sense it can b? reasonably contended that you i
hold an office “ under tke. Cons ederate States," >
we are unable to see. We are clearly of opin- i
ion, therefore, that it the people of your dis- i
trict elect you to Congress, you will not vio ■
late the letter of the Constitution by accept- ;
ing the trust and taking your seat on the 22d '
next February.
Would you, by so doing, violate the spirit of i
the Constitution ? Let us inquire briefly into
the history ol this clause. We borrowed it (as
we did most of the others) from the old United
States Const:titution "Why did our ancestors
Dut it into the old ? It was to guard against
a great evil that prevailed in the British Gov
ernment from which we had so recently sepa
rated. The King there was the fountain of
honor; he appointed all officers, and many
were removable at his pleasure. Our ances
tors believed that the representative of a peo
ple might be subservient to Executive power,
and not independent in his action, if he held
a valuable office dependent on Executive plea
sure. But in what sense are you dependent
on the President of the Confederate States ?
He did not appoint you, and could not appoint
your successor were you removed. He cannot
remove you at pleasure, nor even for miscon
duct, except by the judgment of your peers
and the laws of the land. We are clear, there
fore, that your accepting a seat in Congress,
while Colonel of the 7th Regiment, would not
be a violation of the spirit of the Constitu
tion.
These are our views; but suppose we are
wrong—the difficulty presented is very small.
The language is prohibitory 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)
that you could not hold the two offices, you
could, on the 221 February, resign your com
mission as Colonel, and then the objection
would certainly disappear. The Constitution
does not prohibit a person being elected to Con
gress. even if he held a commission in the
regular army, and he could take his seat if he
resigned.
We see therefore, no illegality in your name
being run and voted for as a member of Con
gress of the Bth District of Georgia, nor do
we see any impropriety whatever. If the
freemen of the Sth District,see proper to confer
upon you this trust, we think you ought to ac
cept it. Your military experience certainly
does add to your qualifications to represent
the people in the National Councils. You are
better acquainted on account of it, with the
wants and condition of the army, aud it may
be well for the 30,000 volunteers in the service
from Georgia to have one or more members of
their own class in Congress. If the freemen
of the Bth District choose to give us one of
these, there is nothing in the Constitution or
the proprieties of the case to hinder them.
Very respectfully yours Nc ,
THOMAS W. THOMAS.
R TOOMBS.
Having shown the utter fallacy of Mr. Fiel
deis objection to my eligibility I shall not s.op
to discuss with him the “enormities of Phil
lip 11, and Charles V,” nor what circumstan
ces “gave to Europe the Dutch Republic.” I
have neither !he time nor tne inclination to
consider those past events. My business now
is to help whip the Yankees and maintain,
against our infamous foes, the rights, honor,
aud liberties of the people of the Confeder
ate States and I call upon Mr. Fielder to come
and assist me. He would then be proving
“his faith by his works.” My competitor
seems to have a great horror for “ men iu
high military commission,” and intimates that ,
to elect them to high civil station might great
ly endanger the Constitution. Is the gentle
man afraid to trust men who are now risking
their lives on the tented field in defense of
of that same Constitution, while be is enjoy
ing ease and pleasure at home ? Surely he
cannot be so ungenerous. But, my Fellow-
Citizens, 1 deem it unnecessary to say more.
My name is before you. My position hereto
fore and now, as well as my efforts to defend
your liberties upon the battle-field, are known
to the country, I claim only to have done my
duty.
I shall not neglect the duly 1 owe the brave .
and gallant men under my command to go ■
home and canvass for office, but am content to :
trust my interests iu the keeping of the intel
ligent, brave and generous people of the Dis
trict. If it be your pleasure to elect me as |
your next Representative, I shall ever be j
grateful and shall strive to serve you faithful
ly and efficiently. For your past uniform kind
ness, confidence and support, please accept my ;
heart-felt thanks.
Hoping and believing that, under the guid
ance of a kind and protecting Providence, our
efforts for Independence will coon be crowned
with a glorious success,
1 am your friend and ob't serve,

Capture of the U. 8. Steamer Fanny
and Forty-Nine Prisoners, with a
Large Amount of Stores—Com.
Lynch Commanding—3d Georgia
in the Fight!
We are indebted to a friend of Madison, Ga.,
for the following letter, giving an account of
the brilliant engagement off the North Caro
lina Coast:
Elizabeth City, N. C , )
October 4th, 1861. J
Mr. Editor: Being thus far, returning from
Roanoke Island, and detained for a. few hours,
I propose a short account of the 3d Regiment
Georgia Volunteers. And first of all: on yes
terday, 49 prisoners from Hatteras were plac
ed on a barge in front of the camp, who, the
night before, had been taken by an expedition
commanded by Col. Wright, and composed of
the Dawson Grays, Athens Guards and Wil
kinson Rifles. The command were on board
the steamers Raleigh, Curlew and Juaaluska,
a part of Commodore Lynch’s squadron. These
steamers were armed with cannon. On Tues
day last, at 2J P. M., the whistles sounded, the
“tribands” of the Confederate States kissed
the rising breeze, and oil'the little army went
—Commodore Lynch commanding all the
steamers.
In two hours and a half, the deep mouthed
dogs of war, let loose, told us in camp the work
was going on. Presently, quicker and quick
er came the booming thunder, and soon sever
al together, and then, at regular intervals ; and
thus it was until the white flag went up on
board the steamer Fanny, a part of the U. S.
Navy off Hatteras, and she was ours.
She made all the resistance she could, but
was taken. Armed with two pieces (one a ri
fled cannon) and those 49 men, (one a contra
band of war in uniform,) she was carrying
immense army stores to the 14th Indiana Reg
iment, then establishing a camp about twen
ty miles from ours.
Y'esterday, the captured Fanny was unload
ed, and before now has, in all probability, done
us good service. For as we came away, the
the cannon, at 5 P. M., when we were fifteen
miles off, apprised us that the fleet and army
were again iu motion.
The Fanny’s cargo is very valuable, proba
bly worth $70,000 or SBO,OOO. One item is
1,000 army overcoats.
The prisoners are detachments from various
companies at Hatteras, and were commanded
by Capt. Hart, of the 1 Ith Indiana Regiment.
Twelve of them are from the New York 9th
Regiment, and were acting as artillerymen.
They are sa f e, in good hands, and treated
as prisoners of war. Lieut. Harris, of the
Home Guards, had them in charge when we
left, and all hands on the barge were desirous
to find all the coinforts its open decks afford
ed, in the bright sunshine.
This was indeed an episode in the life of the
regiment. Since taking quarters there, they
have worked day and night a good part of the
time, doing it more rapidly than the Engineer
could plan it. Three batteries of guns,
so far as the soldiers could finish them, were
completed in less than ten days, and the black
throated “ peace makers” now lie quietly in
their places, readyjo shake the very earth,
when an enemy shall dare to pass. It is not
right to say fully what, the work is ; it must
be sure to realize the labor these fortifications
required at the hands of our soldiers. Very
much of it was done without proper itnple
meats, in a burning sun, or rainy night, with
out a word of complaint or dissatisfaction.
Col. Wright told me I ought to see the boys
cleaning up the ground with their pocket
knives, and how they enjoyed the fun.
How to have Good Cider.—Prof. Hors
ford, of Harvard University, has recently
publisned a recipe for improving and preserv
ing eider, by means of which the progress of
the vinous and acetic fermentations may be
arrested at pleasure, and the cider preserved
in jus! such a state as may be desired. A cor
respondent of the Boston “Journal” says:
Put the cider in clean casks or barrels, and
allow it to ferment from one to three weeks
according as the weather is cool or warm.—
When it has attained to lively fermentation,
add to each gallon three-foui ths of a pound
of white sugar, and let the whole ferment
again until it possesses nearly the brisk pleas
ant taste which it is desirable should be per
manent. Pour out a quart of the cider and
mix with it. one-quarter of sulphite of lime
for every gallon the cask contains. Stir un
til it is intimately mixed, and pour the emul
sion into the liquid. Agitate the contents of
the cask thoroughly fur a few minutes, then
let it rest that the cider may settle. Fermen
tation will be arrested at once, and will not
be resumed. It may be bottled in the course of
a tew weeks, or it may be allowed to remain
in the cask and used on draught. If bottled it
will become a sparkling cider, better than
what is called champagne wine.
Prof. Horsford, ot' Cambridge, was the first i
to use the sulphite of lime for this purpose, I
and to him is due the credit of first calling at I
tention to its usefulness. It is in no respect I
deleterious, as to the sulphite, into which the I
sulphate is changed by the liberation of sul
phurous acid, is entirely insoluble, and re- I
mains at the bottom of the vessel.
The writer has cider prepared in this way
two years since, which has remained un
changed. and is now a beverage of unsurpas
sed excellence. The sulphite of lime, not the
sulpAa/et must be used.

Latest from the Coast.—The blockade is
being enforced off this harbor by two steam
ers and a sailing vessel off North Edisto. A
steamer has been observed for three or four
days standing in shore in the morning and
steaming off in the afternoon. Several ves
sels have also lately been seen off Port Roy
al. Some seamen have deserted from vessels
stationed at North Edisto. A few nights
since two seamen took a yawl boat and are
supposed to have gone out to sea, and possibly
to some of the blockaders. A schooner which
left a Southern port some time since with a i
cargo of rice, has been lost on the Bahamas.
Her cargo was but little damaged, and has, I
we are informed, been saved. Arrivals from ‘
foreign ports have lately taken place, having
on board articles much in demand— Charles*
