Calhovn — Dear Sir: As one of your old political and personal friends, permit me to inquire, in behalf of many of your friends of this county, whether you intend to allow vour name to be put before the people ot the Eighth Congressional District for Repre sentative. Yours, Ac., A. W. HAMMOND. Atlanta, Ga , Oct. 27, 18G.L Cot.. A. W. Hammond —Dear Sir: I received your communication this morning, in which you ask, that in behalf of many of my friends, you be permitted to inquire whether I intend ed to allow my name to be pat before the peo ple of the Eighth Congressional District for Representative, and for answer. I have to say that sometime since I declined being a candi da la at the present time, though the fact lies not been made public ; and take this occasion to retnru thanks to my friends who solicited me, by letter and otherwise to be a candidate, for their confidence and friendship thereby shown iu and for me. Col. Gartrell, who is now a candidate, was our Representative in the Congress of the United States. His term was cut short by the dissolution of the Union. He is now absent in the service of his country, and recently lost a son in that service. He is not here to defend his claims before the peo-. pie, and I am not disposed to raise any ques tion with him in regard to his eligibility un der the circumstances. These are some of the reasons which induce me to decline a candidacy at the present time. But, as your inquiry only relates to the fact as to whether I will be a candidate myself, I need say no more. With high regard, I am yours, Ac., JAS. M. CALHOUN. —♦- • The Leesburg Fight—Gen. Evans. Our men fought’ desperately and covered themselves with glory at Leesburg. Never before lid men fight against such odds, under such disadvantages, and achieve such a gio . rious victory, such magnificent results, with such small loss. But notwithstanding this almost unparal leled victory obtained by a handful of men without arms equal to those of their oppo nents, who ye re more than four to one, we are of opinion, with all the light before us, that it is one of the most unfortunate occur rences of the campaign. We are more than ever convinced that our Generals on the Potomac understand what they are about, and know belter how to con duetthiscampaign than all thecroakers among ihe dissatisfied newspaper editors and corres pondents, who are nothing more than ignor ant iutermedilers and common disturbers of the Peace. Gen. Evans, '• who -eceived bis commission us such but. a day or ,-vq before,) if we are correctly informed, was oru rgj to fail back, if the enemy appeared in f orce , did not fall back, but fought them v. his owu judgment, contrary lo orders. Il was a.-. er _ mined that McClellan Lad resolved to make a general attack on our lines, and only wanted to secure a position on our left flank before Laud, which our men were disposed to let him have, hence, this order to relreat. This is our information ; and if it is correct, and had been obeyed, the great and decisive bat- SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY tie would have been fought, and the victory won, before now. As it is, our plan of draw ing McClellan on, and his intention to attack us, are completely frustrated and put off in definitely. The Yankees are taken all aback . al our success with our little handful against such odds. They ate discouraged. and many days will elapse before their courage can be wrought up to the sticking point again. They have received a severe check on a smal scale—not enough lo be decisive, but enough to make I hem hesitate long before they attack us again, or place themselves in a position where we can attack them. If this information be correct, it shows the ; fruits of rash impetuosity—the value ol the senseless cry of “ on to Washington.” We see it stated, that Gen. Evans has been Court-Martialed for disobedience of orders; but we know’ not how tine it is. .. _ • Badly Skeered. In another column will be found the letter of Secretary Seward, to the Governors of the Northern States, advising them to forty their coasts. On its appearaoe in New York, Wall street was thrown into a terrible commotion, and Federal stocks went down 21 to 3 per cent. The “ Herald” says that the letter made its appearance upon the heel of the announce ment that the steamer Nashville had escaped through the blockade at Charleston and had gene to Europe with Messrs. Slidell and Ma son on board —ministers to France and Eng land respectively, from the Confederate States —“both wily diplomatists, and well adapted to their mission.” The “ Herald” also states that the Nashvtlle sailed from Charleston on the night that Capt. Hollins so disturbed the Lincoln fleet off New Orleans ; and carried a dispatch announcing the result of that ’>ril liant affair, to Europe Its a pity to spoil such a scare crow of a picture, manufactured by the “Herald” which is frighting the Yankees out of their wits It is having i*s effect, fertile Her.il 1 says it is (be cause of Seward writing that letter; but it is proper to state that the Nashville is now lying at her wharf iu Ctiarles'on not having left or attempted to leave there lately. ♦ ♦ ♦ - . Tennessee Senators. The Tennessee Legislature have eltcied Landen C. Haynes, and Gustavus A. Henry, Confederale Stales Senators. They are both able and true met; One of them was a se cessionist before the fall of Sumter, and the other was not, but they now are both as true to the Confederacy as any body. The Legis lature did right, and by their action, have shown that they are in earnest in supporting the Government, and putting down ali dissen tioit among (he people at home. This is the true spirit that should actuate our people everywhere. ———_—— « —♦ —■ [For the “ Confederacy.” “ Gwinnett”—Col. Gartrell. Messrs. Jddilors: Please bear with me in a tewwordsof reply to that last article of “Gwin nett.” Allow me, respectfully, lo deny that I have raised the question of whether Col. Gartrell loves his country. 1 made no such insinuation even; and it was unfair and uncandid in “ Gwinnett” to say so. I only stated what I conceived to be his duty as a lover of his coun try. “ G winnett” thinks the next Congress will be the “ most important of any that has as sembled on this continent for the last half century and that, therefore, Col. G. ought to be in it. I admit that it. will be an important Congress; but by no means so important as the present Provisional Congress. If its im portance is any reason <vhy Col. G. should be in it, the Georgia Convention, when it chose members to that Congress, was very direlict and strangely overlooked his merits. I have no idea the next Congress will bo any more important than the one next succeeding it will be. These issues are raised by Gwinnett— not me. Col. G. is asking for the office. “Gwinnett’’ tries to represent that it is his duty to accept it if the people confer it on him ? and, in this way, tries to conceal from public view, the important fact that he is energetically seeking the office, and using every exertion to secure it. My point is this ; If he is efficient and use ful as an army officer, he should not seek or accept an office out of the army till his term of service has expired, and the people should not confer on him such an office; and if they, without his asking, give him an office, he should decline it. He is under prior and more sacred obligations to the brave men in his reg iment, to serve them in an office which they have conferred on him by their unanimous suf frages, at his own solicitation. His obligations to these brave men arc the highest, most sa cred and above all. They honored him with their confidence, and the authority to com mand them when he solicited the honor at their hands, and he should not now leave them for a place of case. His lot should bj with them, and while they are in the field, suffer ing toils, privations and hardships, and yield ing up their lives to death, alike by disease and the bullets of our enemies, he should share their sufferings and toils. The brave Captain of a sinking vessel is always the last one to leave the ship. He always remains on board till she goec down, unless he first succeeds in removing every soul from it. When the term for which his regiment volunteered shall have expired, the obligation which be is under to remain with them wi 1 have ceased, and not before; and until that time, no demands of the “ dear people” can either discharge his obli gations to his regiment, or create any that are paramount to, or more imperative, than the high and sacred obligations of honor which he •founder to remain with his brave men and shaX their toils and sufferings, victories and honors? if he them, solely for the pur- P°s® o- o fj| ce o f on y ki n d it will be, in my humX. , ■ . , c , „ "*» opinion, an act of bad faith, as well as exhiK , ■ . ~ , ~ , , Nk desire to shirk the responsibilities and (•».<* hi. «W. safety to blm..lf' if h„ h.j '' V ? f eaM I al any idea of being a candidate for Congress when he was seeking the office of Colonel of the Seventh Regiment, he should have lotd the mon so al the time.— If he had done this, and if they then had chosen him Colonel, wt’h an understanding that he would be a candidate for Congress and > resign his Colcnelay rs elected, it would then I and now have been fair; but he did not When his men elected him Colonel, they expected him to remain with them to the end. If he is an efficient Colonel, he sh<mb> stay with his men If he is not. he should have ‘ resigned l"i>g ago, and not have waited for a ehaiioe to get a civil office, in order to resign. “Gwinnett” says a sent in Congress is more ! suited to his -taste" ond ‘ qualifications” than the office he rmw iq Ids H his taste and quali fications are rmt suited to his present office, he should not have sought or accepted it. “Gwinnett” cia's an imputation upon my patriotism, because I stay at home and write against Col. G. who is in the field fighting the i battles of his country. I will say that I would i not have written a word against him if be had . not laid himself open to just and severe, eriti ! cism. as well by his own course as that of such 1 friends as “Gwinnett;" but this imputation upon my patriotism is of a piece with the bad taste and impoliteness of Col. Gartrell iu mak ing the same charge against Col. Fielder, when he knows Col F is physically unable to un ; dergo the toils and hardships of the camp. It i is of the same school of mendacity a lopted by | the Richmond Uxamincr, in saying that Vice ’ President Stephens should enter the army in j order to entitle him to the respect and conii i denee of the people, when the editor of that j paper knows that Mr. Stephens weighs only 90 pounds; that lie could not lilt a weight of i 50 pounds, if his life dvnended on it; and that j from infancy till now, he has been and is, the I most frail and fragile mortal that over lived to ' attain the age of maturity. i Such is the character of the argument by ; which Gwinnett tries to east an imputation j upon my patriotism. A man with any argu- I moot at hand—any other ground to stand up i on. would not use such as this. OBSERVER. !-*oi- the ” Cviiftaleraey.” Combining Civil and Military Position*— The Soldier Office-seeker in time of W a r. It said that we have :< new government, and i therefore ought lo h.ive new rules. It cannot : be dc-nied that- we have .. plentiful crop of ! would be statesmen and legislators, who have ’ qualified themselves to fill impolT-iiit -tatious ; by a system of education altogether novel i For the first time in the history of thi9*eoun try, it has been discovered that a service of three or six months in the eamp, titsone, how ever inexperienced or iguorai;!, for the dis charge of the delicate functions <>f legislator or governor. Those who enlist and go to the tented field, avow that they are actuated by a desire lo serve their country; but from the Subsequent career of many of theiu,<me would suppo-e that they are ready to lay down their lives for ciiiee rather than country. That the soldier who has fulfilled the term of his enlist • merit is entitled to the gratitude of his country none will deny, and other th ig- being upta! ; that he will be preferred by emtntrymen ■ for civil office, is equally clear and proper But it is not apparent that either officer or pri vate, while engaged in the discharge of his military duties, should be called to till a civil office. Indeed, it is most clear that one posi tion at a time is as much as he can till effici ently, and in attempting to discharge the du ties of both, he will perform those of neither. He cannot, in the military profession, do his duty by proxy, and still less is this the case in his civil office. Merchants and traders seem anxious to monopolize and wring a fortune from the necessities of the people, but politi cians and soldiers should not certainly imitate an example which, on all occasions, they loud ly condemn. Toe policy, if indeed it can be called policy, of uniting different and distinct offices in one person, is denounced by the Con stitution of this State, and neariyevery other State in the Confederacy, and for the most ob vious reasons. Notwithstanding this, we see numbers holding high military positions, and | also seats in Congress and in the various Leg islatures, and others holding such military po sitions, seeking seats in Congress ami in the Legislature. Is this consistent? is it right?— We opine not, for iu that event nearly all our Constitutions are wrong and public opinion is i sadly iu want of a radical and thorough re : form. But there is another class who serve a I portion of their enlistment, and cither resign i their military appointment, if officers, or pro ! cure their discharge, if privates, and are at ; once brought forward as candidates by their i too partial friends lor office. Were these the j grounds upon which the people delighted to i promote and honor such heroes and patriots as i Jackson and Taylor? Were the claims of eith er of these illustrious men urged lor office un til they had fully discharged their duties to their country in the field? and what reason is there for any different rule iu the present case? Arc those offering themselves for office more worthy than these illustrious men? No oue will venture to set up the claim for them, then let the lion’s skin be stripped from them —let them pass for what, they are really worth, and not be permitted to take to themselves credit for services at best only partially ren ! dered—let them be made to feel their assumed I •* title hang loose about them.” 1 Thia experiment has been tried in some por tions ot the State already, and it is a matter : of congratulation to know that it proved a I signal failure. PINEY WOQDS Howards Letter. Department of State, ) Washington, Oct. 14, 1861. j To his Eretdlcncy the Governor of the State of New York. Sir : The present insurrection had not even revealed itself in arms when disloyal citizens hastened to foreign countries to invoke their intervention for the overthrow of the Gov ernment and the destruction of the Federal Union. These agents are known to have made their appeals to some of the more important States without success. It is not likely how ever, that they will remain content with such refusals. Indeed, it is understood that they are industriously endavoring to accomplish that disloyal purpose by degrees and by in direction. Taking advantage of the einbrassments of agriculture, manufactures, and coimuercc in foreign countries, resulting from the insur rection they have inaugurated at home, they seek to involve our common country in con troversies with States with which every pub lic interest, and every interest of mankind, require that it shall remain iu relations of peace, amity, and friendship. I am-able to state for your satisfaction that the prospect of any such disturbance is now less serious than it has been at any previous period during the course of the insurrection. It is nevettlieless necessary now. as ii has hitherto been, to take every precaution that is possible to surest the evils of a foreign war io be superinduced upon those of civil com motion which we are endeavoring to cure.— One of the most obvious of such precautions is. that our ports and harbors on theseasand lakes should be put in a condition of complete defence; Cor any nation may be said to volun tarily incur danger in tempestuous seasons when it fails to show that it. lias sheltered it self on every side from which the storm might, possibly come. The measures which t he Executive can adopt iu this emergency are such only as Congress has sanctioned, and for v/hich it lias provided. The President is putting forth the most diligent efforts to execute these measures, and we have the great satisfaction of seeing that these efforts, seconded by the favor, aid, and support of a loyal, patriotic, and self-sacrifi cing people afc rapidly bringing the military and naval forces of the United Slates into the highest state of efficiency. But. Congress was chiefly absorbed during its recent extra ses sion with these measures, and did not provide as am) ly as could lie wished for the fortifica tion of our sea and lake coasts. In previous wars loyal States have applied themselves by independent and separate activity to support and aid the Federal Government iu its ardu ous responsibilities. The same disposition has been manifested iu a degree eminently hon orable by all the loyal States during the pres ent insurrection. In view of this fact, and relying upon the increase and eontinnancy of the same disposition on the part of the loyal States, the President has directed me to in vite your consideration to the subject of the defences of the State over which you preside, and to ask you to submit the subject to the consideration of the Legislature when it shall have assembled. Such proceedings by the State would require only a fempoary use of its means. The expenditures ought m be made the subject of conference with the Federal Gov ernment. Being tbus made with the concur rence of the Government for general defence, there is every reason io believe that Congress would sanction whsit the State should do, and would provide for its i -imbursement. Should these suggesiious be accepted, the President will direct the proper agents of the Federal Government to confer with you, and to superintend, direct and conduct the prose cution of the system of the defence of your State. ’ have the honor to be your obd’t servant, WM H.
