John Ennis' Card.
A very amusing and highly indignant card
appeared in the Intelligencer of the 16th inst.,
signed John Ennis, denouncing the editors of
this journal as "malicious falsifiers,” &e., in
locating the late stabbing affray between Thur
man and Pat Ennis at his doggery on Decatur
street —charging us with an attempt to injure
his business, &c.
Our informant was Mr. Henry B. Latimer,
an old and highly respectable citizen, whose
mistake was in the name of the man who kept
the doggery. He got the impression that En
nis kept the establishment where the difficul
ty occurred. Mr. Latimer is not familiar with
the localities of such establishments or the
names of the men who keep them, as he is not
a frequenter of drinking saloons. One of the
parties to the difficulty was named Ennis—a
brother, and an old bar-tender of John, the
"saloon" man. His mistake was a very nat
ural one—such as most men would be most
likely to make under similar circumstances.—
We gave no particulars of the affray. We
stated its occurrence only. We presumed its
cause to be liquor. The place where it occur
red —a drinking establishment— sufficiently in
dicated that. The mistake in the name of the
man who kept the place was the error of our
informant. We did nothing extenuate, or set
down aught in malice; and no man in this
community will accuse Mr. Latimer of know
ingly making an incorrect report—let alone
with a design to injure any one.
We consider this explanation due to our
readers and the public, who do not know Mr.
Ennis. We consider the delectable epithets
which he applies to us unworthy of notice
where he is known—especially do we consider
the man who penned his card as beneath con
tempt.
Slight Discrepancy.
Gen. Henry R. Jackson, in his Official Re
port of the Green Brier fight, on the 3d inst.,
says be had seven killed, thirteen missing and
thirty wounded. He says his own force was
2,500. He estimates the force of Reynolds at
5,000, and the loss of the enemy at upwards
of 200 killed.
But Reynolds, too, has made a report, which
has found its way into the Northern journals.
He says he obtained a glorious victory. The
rebels were routed and pursued. He says he
only lost ten killed and eleven wounded ; his
force was 5,000 and Jackson’s 15,000; and he
says he killed over five hiindred of the rebels.
What must be the reflections of a disinter*
ested man, a foreigner for instance, who has
no means of knowing the truth ?
But we know that Reynolds has lied in some
things—about routing and pursuing Jackson.
A man who is such a liar as this, will not hes
itate to tell any other lie that may suit his
purposes.
Judge Bull's Sentence of the Wil
sons, Convicted of the Killing of
Thomas Terry.
PRISONERS AT THE Bar :
You have been placed at the Bar of this
Court to receive the fearful sentence which
the law prescribes as the penalty of that crime
of which you stand convicted by the solemn
verdict of your peers.
Few more revolting scenes have ever been
witnessed within the walls of a Court of Jus
tice than the one now presented here. A father
and a son ’. standing together before the seat
of a judgment to hear the doom which the vi
olated law demands as the punishment of their
unhappy deeds! I would that I could have
been spared this scene, and the performance
of this painful duty. I would that the evi
dence had shown your hands unstained by the
blood of the unfortunate victim of your evil
and uncontrolled passions. And I doubt not
that those good men and true, would, had the
proof allowed them, have gladly rendered such
a verdict as would have restored to you your
liberty and your good name. But the stern
obligation of an oath was upon them, a true
verdict to find, according to the evidence, and
the same stern obligation is now on me to
pronounce the judgment in accordance with
the verdict. I may, and do, sincerely com
miserate your unhappy fate, but I have no
power to avert it. Here, Justice is implaca
ble and its demands imperative. It calls for
the last scruple of the pound of flesh ‘‘nomi
nated in the bond.” But I can, even in dis
charging the stern duties of the Magistrate,
direct you to another and far higher tribunal,
where the ears of Mercy are never closed to
the cries of true penitence; to that Being
whose wisdom and power were alone adequate
to devise a plan by which justice may be re
conciled with the pardon of the guilty.
It requires no supernatural ken to compre
hend the causes which have led you both on
in the dark and downward road which has ter
minated in your ruin. The very instrument
by which you sent your victim unbidden to
to the presence of his Maker, too clearly in
dicates the fatal agency which has brought
you to the Bar of this Court, and will send
you hence to your appointed doom.* It is the
foul fiend of intemperance, who has so long
desolated this earth and filled the dark cham
bers of Hell with his shrieking victims.
I say not these things to lacerate your al
ready harrowed feelings, but that others who
may be entering on the same fearful pathway,
may take timely warning when they see the
signboard which you have erected with its in
dex pointing to that deep abyss into which
you have fallen.
Although you have been convicted of differ
ent grades of homicide, and will, therefore,
be doomed to different degrees of punishment,
yet, all the fair prospects of this life are as
effectually closed to the one as the other. —
You, unfortunate old man! though you will
be permitted to linger out the few remaining
years that decaying nature and growing in
firmities may allow you, yet the best of these
will be languished out in wasting labor and
confinement. And should there be a remnant
left after the expiration of your sentence,
they will be years of slow, consuming blight,
cursed with the goadings of remorse at the
reflection that you have brought misery and
disgrace upon your own gray hairs, and by
your unhappy teaching and example, igno
miny and death upon 3 our own son. For upon
your devoted bead, unhappy son of a wretch
ed father, must fall a sharper and more ap
palling doom than even that which awaits him.
The sentence which I am now about to utter,
will consign you to an untimely end and a
felon’s grave. It behooves you. more especi
ally, therefore, to turn your thoughts from
this world, where not one ray of hope beams
upon your short passage to the tomb, io that
brighter one where sin and sorrow and death
are unknown. Your eternal destiny bangs
upon your employment of the few fleeting
golden moments yet intervening between you
and that dark bourne to which you are has
tening.
Let no delusive hopes of escaping the de
mands of the law cause you to procrastinate
your efforts to prepare to meet your God in
peace ; for a preparation for death is the best
preparation for life, even should you escape
with life.
And now, after this brief and kindly meant
admonition, it only remains for me to pro
nounce upon you both the dread sentence of
the law.

IT FROM SIR JAMES FERGUSON GEN.
STUART.
Army of the Potomac, 1
Fairfax Court House, Oct. 10, 1861. J
There is no change to report in the position
of affairs. I have heard of nothing to change
the opinion expressed in my last letter, that
the Confederates would fall back at an early
day behind Bull Run. On the contrary, ma
ny things have come to my knowledge to con
firm that opinion. Os course, much depends
upon the movements of the enemy; for we
are ready to receive him here or at Bull Run.
A line of pickets is stretched from Fortress
Monroe to Kansas ; yet, we manage now and
then to procure Northern Newspapers byway
of the underground railroad. The last batch
received brings us news that McClellan has
been ordered to St. Louis in place of Fremont
lately called to Washington for trial; and
that Gen. Wool, who has been superseded at
Fortress Monroe by Gen. Mansfield, will suc
ceed McClellan in the command at Washing
ton. Such is the rumor in Washington, Balti
more and New York. Private advices are of
a similar tenor. That such rumors are afloat,
and that they have created no little excite
ment beyond the Potomac, there can be doubt;
but I am unable to say how much foundation
there is for them, especially in regard to Mc-
Clellan.
We hear further, that much dissatisfaction
exists among the bankers in Wall Street and
throughout the North, on account of the hesi
tating policy of McClellan. It is reported
that they frankly admit, that neither they
nor the country can stand a long war; and
they claim that when they agreed to furnish
means for the prosecution of the war, it was
only on condition that short work should be
made of it. These accounts are confirmed in
substance by Maj. Gen. Smith and Brig. Gen.
Lovell, who lately arrived here from New
York, where they enjoyed the best possible
facilities for getting reliable information. They
represent the distress prevailing at the North,
growing out of the derangement of commerce,
the stagnation of business, the shortness of
the grain crop, and the uneasiness of capital
ists, to be almost incredible.
Five days hence (the 15th of October) is the
time by which the second instalment of SSO,-

SOU THE RN CONFEDERACY
000,000 of the federal loan is to be paid. It
may be that Wall Street is availing itself of
the exigencies of the Government to extort
from it greater vigor in the future prosecution
of the war. And it inny be that Johnston and
Beauregard have lain idle along the Potomac,
in part at least, for the reason that an active
campaign here might have stimulated the ef
forts of Northern capitalists to assist their
Government. It is evident that Mr. Lincoln
can do but little without their cooperation.
The money kings are not the least powerful
potentates iu the land. Indeed, we hear they
went so far on a recent occasion as to demand
an early movement forward, and that Gen.
McClellan replied that he would resign rather
than undertake it. Sensible to the last.
We are sorry to give up Fremont in the
West; for his brutal policy and incompeten
cy were of incalculable benefit to the Confed
erate cause, in uniting the people of Missouri
and Kentucky. We feel somewhat reconciled
to the change by the announcement that Gen.
Wool has been transferred to Washington. He
and Gen. Scott, between whom there is a quar
rel of long standing, will not be able to get on
in harmony.
McCllellau is the best officer, after General
Scott, the enemy has. He has conducted the
the campaign since his advent into Washing
ton with great skill. He has managed to set
rumors afloat in Richmond and the army of
the Potomac, that he had an army of 150,000
men—that he would soon cross the river and
attack us with a force of 100,000 troops—and
that large fleets were about to sail from North
ern ports to ravage our coasts and burn our
cities. The object of all this bluster was to
distract our councils, to divert from the Poto
mac, Kentucky and Missouri the reinforce
ments intended for those points, and to alarm
the people along the whole Southern coast.—
The affair at Hatteras was admirably planned
to effect his purpose. That naval expeditions
will be sent southward, there need be no
doubt; but the season has not yet arrived for
them to sail. The men who will go upon
these expeditions cannot be spared until the
campaign in this quarter lias been closed by
the ice and snows of winter.
How far McClellan has succeeded iu his
plans, it is not for me to declare. I can on
ly say we have good reason to conclude that
be has no such force about Washington as he
would have us believe. Since the battle of
Manassas. 67,000 troops have passed through
Baltimore on their way to Washington and
points in Maryland. Nearly all the three
months volunteers have returned home, and
the regulars are scattered along the line from
Fortress Monroe to St Louis. The forces,
then, at and about Washington, cannot ex
ceed much, if any, 75,000 tnra, many of
whom are disabled by sickness. I cannot
now give you my reasons for speaking so pos
itively as to numbers.
I have said, and still believe, that, an ac
tive and offensive policy after the battle of
Manassas, would have been the best; yet I
am frank to confess that the opposite policy
pursued by Johnston and Beauregard has not
been without, its good results. If what we
hear through the Northern press be true,
then we are whipping the enemy by standing
still. Their expenses are enormous, being
about $8,500,000 per week. No nation cau
stand such a drain as this long. Hence, the
clamors of bankers and capitalists against
McClellan. The prospect of the most fright
ful suffering among the poorer classes this
winter, only complicates the difficulties of
the Government. Ships are rotting at their
wharves, factories are idle, mechanics are
out of employment, the poor are clamoring
for bread, and bankers are restive and unea
sy. The whole country groans and staggers
under the mighty load which now presses its
bended back. Meanwhile, our march is on
ward in Kentucky and Missouri.
But let us turn from these speculations to
the events that are transpiring around us.—
You will remember the account 1 gave you
of the voluntary abandonment of Munson’s
and Mason’s Hills by the Confederates. The
evacuation took place at. night, and without
the knowledge of the enemy. And yet the
New York Herald and Tribune speak of it
as a great Yankee victory, and say that a
few more such affairs as that at. Munson’s
Hill and Hatteras will bring the rebellion to
an end. To what a straitened condition must
these mendacious prints and people be re
duced, when they thus catch at every pass
ing straw to buoy up their sinking hopes !
We had a visit yesterday from Sir James
Ferguson, a member of the British Parlia
ment. He was an officer iu the Crimean
War, is about thirty five years of age, and
possesses great intelligence. He is a friend
of Mr. Gregory, and brings letters to Gen.
Toombs, Gen. Beauregard and others. I sus
pect that bis visit has been made for the pur*
pose of examining for himself into the actual
condition of affairs in this country, with a
view to the question of the recognition of
our independence and the raising of the block
ade by the British Government. He expects
to return in time for therassembling ofPar
liainent this winter. He seems to understand
the difference between the Yankee and West
ern man, and between the Southerner and
both of them. He expressed himself with*
out reserve and in the most friendly terms
towards the Confederate States, and says he
has been most favorably impressed with the
bearing, the spirit and the intelligence of our
volunteers. He represents that a large ma-.
jority of the English people, and of Middle
and Lower Canada are animated by the most
friendly sentiments towards us. Western
Canada, the refuge of escaped negroes, is
more or less hostile in its feelings. Lord
Lyons gave him a passport to cross the Po*
tomac, which Mr. Seward countersigned, on
the written condition that he should not vis* |
it the insurrectionary States. This aroused
his British spirit ; whereupon, he returned
the passport to Mr. Seward and came around
by the Western route.

General, has been appointed to the command

addtd to the Committee on Finance and Corn
tnerce.
Mr. W. McL. McKay made an interesting

The Standing Committee reported the fol
. lowing resolut'ona on the Sequestration Act.
Whereas, By the law of Nn'ionsdebis due
to alien enemies are suspended, and bear no
interest during the continuance of war.
Resolved therefore., That in the opinion of
this Convention, the Sequestration act adopt
ed by the Confederate Congress at its recent
session, should not require the payment of
debts due by our citizens to alien enemies
during the existence of the war ; but that it
should require only the evidence of the in
debtedness to be returned, and placed upon
record by the receiver.
That in cases, wherein the debtor to an alien
enemy is also a claimant of indemnity for
damage sustained by the act or acts of the
government of the United States, or of the
people thereof, the balance (when against the
citizen of the Confederate States) should alone
be the amount demanded.
That the Sequestration act should take effect
at. aud from the date of its passage, and not
from the 21st of May as now provided.
That the Government of the Confederate
States having assumed the place of the alien
creditor of the Confederate debtor, should
stand on the same footing with all other cred
itors.
The Committee also reported the following
for the action of the Convention :
Resolved, That the Insurance Companies
throughout the Confederacy be respectfully
recommended to insure the Cotton stored by
the Planters in the towns of the interior, or
on their plantations, to the extent of three*
fourths of the market value of the day.
Mr. Trenholm, of Charleston, recommended
a modification of the usary laws. This was
postponed indefinitely.
Mr. Bibb, of Alabama, offered a resolution
that the State Legislatures be requested to le
galize the suspension of specie payments by
ths banks for two years after the close of the
war, provided the banks would advance to the
planters five cents per pound on cotton.
Mr. Palmer, of South Carolina, offered a res
olution that the Confederate government be
requested to advance the planters three fourths
the value of their cotton.
Mr Fowlkes, of Tennessee, offered a resolu
tion,-that Congress make an advance in Treas
ury notes to those planters who have subscrib
ed to the Confederate loan, of one-fourth or
one half the arm unt subscribed.
A lengthy discussion ensued, participated in
by Messrs. Palmer, Trenholm, Lamar, Lee,
Green, Deßow, Gray, McKay, aud others.
All the resolutions offered by individuals
were then laid on the table, and the original
resolutions of the Committee adopted with
great unanimity.
We have a grand concert to-night at Rals
ton’s Hall, in which your man, W. H. Barnes,
Esq., figures largely. He is announced in the

Messrs. Editors: —ln your paper of loth inst,
appears a lengthy article over the signature
of “ A Private Citizen,” discussing the eligibil

propose to ask your correspondent a few plain
and simple questions : First, What is the dif

old one relative to this question ? Second,
Does holding a military office prohibit a man
from being a candidate for any civil office?—
Third, Who, under the Constitution, are the
sole judgesof the eligibility of members elect
ed to Congress ?
