Laukanuk, Hov. 8, —Kdi. Appeal; I Bad In
your isau* of this morning a telegraphic dispatch
iinftill frsm jsitenfcfljfr extra of the Avalanche,
which floes injustice alike to Gens. Folk aud
Pillow. To Gen. Polk, because, although the
superior officer in command, be in mud* lo play
the part of a subordinate; and to Gen. Pillow,
because a brave man Is tv at wounded by thul
which would place on bln brow the laurels of a
comrade.
No man fought more g .Unfitly than Gen. Pil
low in the sphere appointed to him, while Gen.
Poljt was a very Napoleon on every part of the
field—direeting every movement, crushing the
foe, and driving him with resistless energy, un
der powerful combinations, from the field.
Allow me, then, in sheer justice to review the
movements of the day, quorum par /', end if
I cannot “render a battle in music,” I will at
least give you the truth
At an early hour In the morning Gen. Polk
threw over the river two regiments under com
mand of Gen. Pldow, whore another was alrea
dy encamped, giving him about two thoueand
men and Waterin'* Battery. While this move
ment progressed, Gen. Polk with lifs staff was
passingfrom battery to battery on the hills, ad
rislag bis gallant officers In command,and pour
ing a tremendous fire on the enemy’s gun boats,
which threatened to make m point, from which
they could destroy Ocn. Pillow's troop* n tra*-
titn. Gun. McCrtwn was the sole genius of the
Van keen at this Juncture, and excited the admi
ration net only of Gen. P<ilk, but of the whole
army, by the skillful use of hil better!*;*. The
bow of n gunboat, which had .nearly attained the
desired point, was shivered, and away she went
limping buck to the transports. Another was
racked dreadfully on the side end scum followed.
Gen. Polk now returns to the landing and sees
the gallant Pillow ascending the western hank
-hit line is formed And soon disappears.
Gon. Polk, with W.iriiingtiin's precaution,
now forwards additional ammunition to Gen.
Pilow's rear, and commends tiro regiments and
a battery to hi)hi tliemselvc - in readiness for
transportation. Pillow’s brave hoys are moving.
The enemy,Out) mtroog, are meeting him. The
hustle and tumult on the wharf subside, and
thousands on the •■intern ban k of the river arc
breathless, to catch the first sound of the conflict.
At this pause Gen. Polk espied your humble cor
respondent and placed him protein on his staff.
Bang, bang, hang. Another, him! another vol
iy/ *)ur picket* are driven in. Horses, with
empty saddles, are dashing in wild diorder along
the western hank of the river. Gen. Polk order*
another regiment to croaa, and ere they land one
of the most desperate buttles ever fought on the
continent is raging.
Pillow in an open corn hold challenge* the
foe to an equal contest challenges uah bis
pealing musketry and Watson’a battery -they
answer spitefully, but slick to thu woods and
an unseen toe, doubling us in number, pours
his deadly volley on our brave boys an th*-y

incessant fire is unking havoc with their ooui- ,

have seen them ou u gait day. Put courage

Now they waver, tailback witat, flying! Yes,
1 umet tell the truth, flying ill fearful disorder.
But Gen. Pillow rallies a sufficient force to
pour upon tbuir left wing a torriiio volley. Our

from above, and open < a these thunderbolts,
which our eagles burl down with remorseless

Gen Polk now orders lien. Cheatham forward
to flank, and. if possible, cut off the foe, to land
higher up, and thus gain a mile or two on him

Pama, October 18, 1861.
If we may judge of the feeling against the
North among the commercial people of England
by that manifested by the English commercial
people located at Paris, U must be terrible in
deed. No slander w too absurd to be told, none
too gross to be believed. Whether from Com
mercial rivalry, from the menacing growth, t or
from what they call the impertinence of the
Yankee race, we seem to have no friends ieft in
this particular class,of English people. Not
that they love the South or slavery, but they
sre furious at the idea that the North should
cron attempt to avert the threatened rupture of
the great Republic, and will be more furious If
the North should be succMsful. The doctrine
of free trade wbicb England la forcing on all
Europe, and which sbe bae failed to force on the
United States, has turned away the sympathies
of the coin tnereia! classes from the race to wbicb
they are allied by blood, and directed them into
Fiew find strange channels. The Morrill Tariff,
fulling upon English commerce, at a moment
when France was opening her ports to this same
com in area, formed a contrast too striking for
even English tenacity, and to-day we see the
unnatural and unusual spectacle of Frenchmen
and Englishmen joining in a common deprecia
tion of America and her institutions.

The Lincoln papers represent the “rebel army”
now in the field as five hundred thousand in

SUP R KBCKEIt, it.
We liHil r< areely finished our article upon tho
Yankee tleet, written on Monday, a die
patch wae received at the Adjutant General’*
olQae, coiuuiuuicating the fact that the Yankee
steamship “l : nlon” had been wrecked near Fort
Macon, and all onboard of her taken prisoners,
There primmer*, seventy-ono in number, arrived
here by the Eastern train of Monday evening,
and wore marched to the Fair Grounds to enjoy
the rocirly of route of their brethren, who have
foraome mouths paat been partaking of the hos
pitality of North Carolina. The “Colon” stranded
on Uoguo Island, about twelvo miles from Fort
Macon, during the gale on Friday night, and
the Y ankees, with great ditUculty, succeeded in
saving thimselvea from a watery grave. When
the ship struck, and wee evidently going to pieces
a boat, with a-line, sent on shore and the
lino made lest.
Thm w.is i% ticklish operation aud the boat
was in an act of being swamped several times.
After the line was made fast, the boat wae by
means of it pulled backwards and forwards to the
‘hip until all of the prisoners on board were safe
ly landed. This was a sort of triumphant en
trance upon Southern soil which the Yankees
did not bargin for, After recovering their mind,
the Y ankees marched to Fort Macon and sur
rendered to the officer in conunaud. The pris
• >nr* stole that the ship was anew one and on
her first voyage. She was intended for a packet
to ply between New York aud New Orleans.-
Her machinery worked beautifully until the gale
commenced on Tuesdny, on the night of which
day the “Onion” was separated from the rest of
the fleet. There were sixty four horses on
board. All hut twenty, which are now in our
possession, were lost. The gale is represented
by the prisoners to hare been of the most terrific
nature. The prisoners had nothing to eat from
Wednesday morning until they reached Fort
) Macon on Saturday. Three men who bad
reached the -lo re were, from shear exhaustion*
left on the beach: and no doubt have since died.
The ship had two powerful engines in her
which will be saved, as they are now visible in
I tbe water. The prisoners know nothing of the
! file of the rest of the ficet, but expressed the

ratify the nominations of the party lender*.
Mr. Chatfie'd, in the course of his remark*,
observed :
This meeting to night, this room filled to it*
utmost capacity with the freemen of their
country, admonish me that as yet these people
have not forgotten that they have rights to guard
nnd interests to protect, and that they live un
der a Constitution, and are under obedience to
lawa formed under thut Constitution. Thank
| (od, gentlemen, we have yet a county to care
for. We have yet a Constitution that is the
supreme law of the hind.
j I believe that yet, although the aspect ol
j thing* are daik enough, the principles of that
I party will bring this country out at its peril.
! 1 ain not prepared to say that they will re
j store this country to its prosperous condition
| before these troubles began . because 1 am not
! so blind as not to sec that the termination ol
our present difficulty may be that our country
I may be left prostrate, loaded with debt, and
| desolate with the death of our loved one* who
have gone to the wars t> protect in.
* a * • •*
1 am uot here to inquire into tbe causes of
this war. I have the -‘utifurii .q of know in t
that the great party to which 1 belong has nev
er been Abolitionist in it* sentiment*
I have the satisfaction of knowing that no
one of that great family has ever thought more
of the black man than the white man.
None of us, gentlemen, not one, i* respon
sible for tbe utterance and predominance of
those sentiments which lie at the flnindtnion
1 of this great Secession movement.
| 1 know thst during the,campaign of hist fall,
in tbia spot, and elsewhere all over the country,
we admonished those who have precipitated this
country into its present perils, that if they car
ried into effect the principles that vere uttered
at Chicago that civil war must neeesstrllf fol
low. But the spirit of Abolitionism seemed to
prevail. They said to us “Oh they dare nut
| tight.” And a gang cf men paraded
- streets night after night, preceded by totches;
they were called “Wide-Awakes. “ In answer
to these admonitions of the Democratic party
they said to us “what If they do fight.” “We
, can whip the South before the breakfast bell,
and all creation after dinner.” Gentlemen,
where are these “Wide Awakes” now Go
search your army. Go to the van of that army.
Go to the situations most exposed, nnd most
dangerous. Go to the Navy -and you will
search in vain for ary of these valorous “Wide
Awakes.”
I do not say this by way of discouragement.
If the war is necessary, and It is now upon us,
in God's name, let us ] it. Instead of
that, what is the spectacle 1 ’ What will be the
history of the next six months? M’e will com
mence with the glorious victory of Bethel, from
whence we will go to Vienna, and from thereto
Bull Run. thence to Chirnmaccmac, and from
there to the last place, the name of which I do
not remember, aud there you will find all these
; splendid vietoriee that not only will make us
renowned at home, but renowned abroad.
What did I hear to-day as coming from the
Commander-in-Chiff of the l nited States forces
-from Gen. McClellan? That he dare not fight
on the Potomac. £o that we shall have no
more battles, I trust, this fall. We have now
’ got in the field seme five hundred thousand men.
j who have congregated about Washington and
I vicinity, and this array has to be supported at
an expense of two tnilli<>*>s and a halt aday, and
yet we are to have no battles thi* fall ‘ Why ?
Because the Commander in-C'Lkf say* he dare
not light. Now, gent t-men, whet is the Eng
lish of all thu? Why, that thi* country will, in
the first place, be placed under a heavier load
of debt than any country on the face of the
earth. And, in tbe next place, gentlemen, there
ii nothing more sure in my mind—the sun is
not more certain to rise to-morrow—than that
tb independence and naftonality of the Confed
erate Ht*e* if America will be recognized by
England and France and other European nations
in les* than six months.
