GIBLE TO A SEAT IN CON JRESS »
It is insisted bv Col. Fielder, and by
a correspondent of the “Sou/wn Con
federitci/” over the signature * f “one of
the people,” that as Col. Gartrell holds
the position of Colonel of the Seventh
Georgia Regiment, now in the service
of the Confcdera e States, he is ineligi
ble to a seat in Congress, for which he
is now a candidate, before the people of
tie- Bth District. The objection to his
eligibility, is- founded upon that clause
of the C-mstif ntion which declares, that :
“no person holding to y office under the
Confi’d'-rate States, sh ill be a mem
her of either Hons", during hiscontinn
mice in ofii -e.” iL>w does this clause of
the Constitn ion, apply to Col. Gartrell’s
condition? Is he bolding any office,
Ui'd'-r the Confetlerate States? It is
said, that because he is in the service
of the Confederate Government, and is
subject to its control, therefore, he is
holding office nud'-r the Confederate
States. Is this time? When, ami
where, d’d the Confetlerate Stales con
fer upon him the office of Colom 1 ? I
nswer, at no time, and nt noplace
From whom did he derive his authority
to lead, and ♦<> command his gallant
Ib-giment ? Who issued ami signed
his commission? I answer, hat the
Co federate Government bad nothing to
do with it. I lie President had nothing
to do with it. Congress had nothing to
do with it. Ihe War Department had
nothing to do with it. Then it it he
rm-, that Col. Gartrell’s office was not
eoiif- i'ied upon him, by ti e Uol.federate
Government, or any of its Departments,
or any of its officers, how c' n it lie said,
that he is hold.ng nn office under th,nt
Government? If it be true, that the
Confederate- States, did not put him in
office, and did not commission him, and
caiinoi remove him, or supply his place
if there was a vacancy, is itrnot pass
ing strange to say, that he holds his of
fice, tuder the Confederate States ?
What are the facts in relation to Col.
Gartrell and his Regiment? His is a
Regiment of Georgians- raised in Geor
gia, -and organized, armed and equiped
ny her Executive Col. Gartrell was
called to tip eommaml of the Regiment,
by the free sufliagesof the men who
composed it, and pursuant to hat elec
tion, the Governor of Georgia issued to
him, his Colonel’s commission, liis of
fice xfas conferred upon him by the
Regiffient, and he derived his authority
to e i.nmnnd the Regiment, fr_m the
Governor of Georgia. He and his Regi
ment, are a part of the Volunteer Mili
ia of the Btate, and armed with the
guns of the State. How then, T repent,
can it be said with either propriety or
truth, that he is holding office tinder ‘he
''’onfederate St* tes ? As well might it
he said, that the guns which p overnor
Brown placed in the hands of the 7th
Goghnen’, and wi‘h which they made
nanny a Northern Vandal bite the dust,
at the battle of Manassas Plains, be
'|!'ngod to the Government of the Con*

People of lie Bth District, Col. Gartrell
is ;i candid ite before you for Congress.
Justice and gratitude require that wo
should elect him, by an overwhehnimr
majority. He ought to have been per
muted to run without opposition. His
character no one even attempts to as
sail. His talents and bis qualifications
all admit; licit he is a tine and devoted
friend of the South his political career
abundantly shows. He and his brave
mon, have now boon absent for months,
and have endure 1 untold hardships and
privations, in order to maintain the
honor and freedom of the South. They
have gone through forced marches, —
slept without shelter—endured hunger
and thirst—suffered hard ships and fa
tigue--met the foe on the battle
field, and covered themselves with im
perishable renown , all for us, and our
homes, our wives and our children.—
Shall we then, who have remained a'
horn", enjoying comfort and plenty,turn
our backs upon tLc gallant Colonel, of
the immortal 7th Regimen*, w en our
suffrages are asked in his behalf? Let
the people <>f every county in the Dis
tinct go to the p ills, and answer by
their ballots, never, never. He has
suffered for us, now let us vote for him

let us selec. him *i member of the firs!

THE JD INGER. OF REBELLION' IN
]THE NORTH—T II E TIMES DE
NOUNCES ABOIAI'ION AS TREA
- SON, AND DEMANDS THE ARREST
OF THE TR UTORSi-
The symptoms of a mutinous and se
ditious spirit against the Government
are daily and hourly developing them
selves tit the North, in the radical wing
of the Republican party and among the
\boli.ionists of the true blue stripe.—
Both f ctious, having been sep:ar;ited
by only the breadth of a hair, or the dif
ference between tweedle-dum and twee
dlc-dee, are now cordially united in op
position to tin President, whose manly
letter to Fremont is the occasion for
the opening of a g’em’ral fire upon him,
from the big s’xty-four pounders down
to the popguns Even the ek-graph at
St Louis is used to spread mill iny thro’
he North. Under these circumstances
it is the duty of the couserva ive ele
ments to come forward ami sustain Mr.
Lincoln and denounce the Aboli ion
traitors, who arc he prime cause of
the present misfortunes of the country,
and arc doing their worst to tender per
manent the mischief they have wrought.
The Government itself, consulting its
own salt ty, ought to seize and incarcer
ate the leaders, who are a tlioiiSvUnd
times more dangerous than the editors
of Northern papers symp ithizing with
the Bon)hern rehelion, and opposing the
war for the Union, lhe cession
heresy never had any sl e . : .1 at the
North, and it is now completely sqm-1-
clied hcic by the vigorous action of the
Government ; but a more formidable,
and a far more extensive disunion ele
ment openly defies the President, spits
u ion am! execrates the Constitution,
wliich is the bond <>f the Union, and
threatens t subvert our whole politi
cal system, turning it ei her into a con
solidated military despotism or into a
Mexican anarchy, in which niiinerous
petty chieftains will each play an inde
pendent part.
When the Southern Secessionists
were forming their plans against, the
Federal Government, we warned Mr.
Buchanan of the danger and culled on
him to act with energy. V» told him
th il his foes were of Ins own household;
that leading members of the Democratic
party meditated tiie destruction of the
Government. Our almon.lions were
unheeded, and the consequence is a
bloody civil war. We new warn Mr.
Lincoln that there is a d s flection to his
Goveriiinent in his own party at the
Nor 1 ; that it .s every day gaining
s length, and that unless he speedily
crushes it, it is very l.kely soon to
•.-.rush him and betray the cause of the
Union into the hands of its Southern
foes. This is now the real danger of
tiie country, and it should be promptly
met by the ]>oweif’nl arm of the Gov
ernment, before it consolid ites its
strength and matures its plans.
If tin' policy of he ted revolution re

ment were weak enough to succumb to

Fremont’s, or issue others to the same
effect, the North would become a d:vi
ded instead of 1 united people, and ti e
South would become so thoroughly uni
ted that it would be as easy to find a
white crow as a Union matt beyond the
Delaware and the Ohio. When the war
commenced, m> sane, well informed man

in the Southern States which would be

malignity of abolitionism seeks to des
troy that element stud convert it into
one of hostility, ami if it is only sue
eessftil, the men of the present genera
tion will not live to see the end ol’ the

Already great evil has been done by

it in any I'ilier way would be an act of
usurpation and rebellion,, equalling, iiv
criminality the course of the Southern
rebels.
The President has been denounced by
the radical organs because he did nut
ox’erride the act of Congress relating to
the confiscation of slaves and other pro
perty. These reckless revolutionists
thus call on the President to perjure
himself. He is sworn to maintain tiie?
Constitution and execute the laws. It
was upon this ground that the Herald
ami s he conservative press of the coun
try called on President Buchanan, and
after him on President Lincoln, to put.
down the rebellion in conformity with
the oath of office. Unlike the mon
archies of Europe, in our Government
it is not the Chief Magistrate, but the
N itional Legislntuie, that is the war
making power, and therefore controls
an 1 defines the oljects of war. When
the present war broke out, and before
Congress hud assembled, the President
had a discretion, subject to the revision
of Congress ; but as soon as that body
met and pa-sed an act limiting the dis
cretion of the President on the very
point raised by Fremont’s proclamation,
the President, who is sworn to carry
out the laws of Congress, was bound to
conform to that policy himself, and to
cause all in authority under him to do
likewise; and the fact of the aboli i oil
journals expecting hi u to do the con
trary is an admission of their infumom#
designs—that when they voted for him
as President they exp .‘cted him to use
his power as President to abolish sla-
V'. rc, and when they supported tin war
in the commencement they abv? hoped
that such was its object ; and now,
when they discover the contrary, anil
that ho is not willing to play ihe part
of usurper, they are filled with all the
rae’e of disappointment.
ihe patriotism of the President has
so far baffled their scheim.'s, and he
ought to be warmly supported by the
wl )le country, without regard to party
politics. But, meantime, it will lie only
nn net of prudent precaution on the part,
f Mr. Line >ln\s Government to arrest
the leaders of a conspiracy equalling in
atrocity that of Cataline and his Con
federates in ancient Rome.
THE RETREAT OF ROmENCRANZ—
FUUT, PARTICULARS.
Vfc have at length received a full
and authentic account of the 1 etreat
of Roscncraiiz and bis Federal army
from Big Sewell Mountain. On the
morning’ of Sunday, the Gth instant, it
was discovered that the enemy, who
had been encamped about a mile and a
half west of our forces at the Sturge 11
farm, on the top of Sewell, had remov
ed liis tents, and, so far as appearances
indicated, retreated. Colonel Savage,
of the 7th Tennessee Regiment, instant
ly made an advance with three compa»
nies of his command and lhe Fayette
Dixie Rilles, Captain Jones. The gal
lant Colonel deployed two companies
upon tlx; right al>d left of the road to
stir up 'he enemy, should lie be con
cealed in the underbrush with the ob
ject of ambuscading, while with Capt.
.Tones company and another he advan
ced cautiously along the pike. No
enemy was found however.. In due limo
Colonel Savage, with his little c in
tnand, elumbered up the declivity into
the centre ofthe Yankee encampment.
Roreneranz (to use a common expres
sion) had “smelled a mice,” and de
par cd with al! possible diligence, un
der cover of da 1 kness, leaving several
wagons, horses, a large lot of cooking
utensils, and vamp equipage of every
escript ion.
Looking to the westward, some sev
en or eight miles away, the enemy was
discovered in full retreat, making, Jn
II probability, for Dogwoo l Gap or
Gauh’y river. He was evidently much
Banned, as—besides the wastage in
his c imp-llour. sugar, coffee, and other
stores were strewn from the summit 1)
he foot of the mountain, a distance ot
five miles, 'i he enemy bad thrown up
■io f"rtificatioiis arrounl his cam;), but
lay for two weeks within cannon shot
of <mr force and completely exposed.—
Had this been known in time, the Fed
eral army would, ere this, h ive been
on the way, as prisoners, to Rich
m >nd
This a rem irkab'e fact, inasmuch as
’‘.’osem.-rauz has enjoyed a considerable
reputation as a General; but no milita
y man would be guilty of the blunder
.il'lear ng his ca np exposed, for such
• I -iigth <>f time, to any attack that
might be made ii’ion it, and the enemy
const-.mly in sight.
After ranging through the Yankee
et c impmcnt for an hour, Gen. Lee, who
arrived soon after Col. Savage, ordered
tl e troops to return; and thus ondi d*
the ptirsni , of which magnified rumors
have in" etofore reached us. Our forces
it l ist advices, were lying in the rain,
behind breas! works that could avail
mulling, ami wondering wiiitliei they
would next be ordered—East or West.
