A large Steamer Burnt in the ARqafir-

ing:
Much anxiety has been evinced in the civ for
the last few days respecting the loss of first class
steamship, which is reported to have been totally
destroyed by fire in the Atlantic. The following
details were furnished by Mr.. Barras, captain Of
the WlIllam from Quebec, who communicated the
loss to the authorities at Loyd's. The William

the 9TH ut and on the evening of the 18th a Iaroa
steamer, with three masts was observed in latituI

west, steering to the northwest. The mention of
this circumstance is more necessary in order that
she might not be contounded with the one that was
subsequently fire, as she was proceeding in
quite different direction. Towards dusk on the
following day strong lurd glare was noticed
about fifteen miles to the southwark, and Mr. Bar
ras, concluding that it was some unfortunate shin
IN flames, very promptly bore down towards her
with view Of picking up the crew. He directed
good look out to be kept, it being thought that
those on board had left in the boats and were
shocking about on the ocean. During the period

BACKING OUT OF THE Observation-Disclosures
OF Discussion BEFORE THE PEoPLE.--If any,
thing were wanting to show the utter indefensi.
blcness OF the cause of the submissionists. the
following correspondence will supply the def
cheney most completely. Notwithstanding the
Southern rights men hare, apon all occasions, in
vited those who differ from them in opinion, to
discuss these questions--(this invitation was
particularly extended at the Barbecue and Mass
Meeting given here in September last)-and not
withstanding that the submssionists did appear
mt one of our meetings, to wit: the one at Pine
Level, at which one of their speakers made a
long speech in favor of submission; yet, to a
formal and respectful request from our side to
meet them in debate before the people, they
have sbruuk and declined. The reasons must be
obvious to all; they are afraid Of discussion be-
fore the people-and We'll they may be, for when.
ever or wherever these questions are fairly ex-
amined or understood by the people, inevitable
and overwhelming defeat awaits the tame sub.
missionists. r
Well, if these poor devils are so hard pushed
and are afraid to meet us in open, fair, and man.
ly debate, and are so desirous that their little
jollitication squad should rejoice solitary and
alone, and as it is likely to be very slim affair
at best, of which they themselves ere long will
feel ashamed, perhaps it might exhibit want of
that mngnanmity and generosity, on the part of
the Southern rights men, of which we feel proud
to appear at or to interfere with this meeting
We have driven them to the wall they have
cried for quarter, and declined to meet us in ar
gument; we could not achieve greater victory
by going to their meeting and vo.ing them down,
as we undoubtedly could do Speaking alone
for ourselves, then, such is our opinion. We
need not say that, in contest, where great in.
terests are at stake, no one wages, or Is willing
to wage, more fierce and vigorous war than
ourselves; but in all this there is courtesy,
urbanity, and even generosity and charity due
our opponents, however widely and radically we
may dilfer from them. This we are ever willing
to observe most promptly. The gentlemen who
are getting up This barbecue and meeting, and
those who may attend it, are our countrymen,

ny. Far be 1t from US to question their patriot
ism, however much we think them mistaken and
misguided, They do not think so, and in this

GENTLEMEN We have Just received yours
of the 18th inst, requesting the "lberty of ap-
pearing through speakers" at the public bar
becue to be given on Saturday. the second day
OF November next, 'that The friends of Southern
rights, and OF the Union, may meet together and
give public and united expression of their feel
Ings and sentiments on the passage Of the re-
cent acts OF Congress, rs calculated to- give
peace and quiet to the country, and their con-
sequent acquescence therein" a,7
In reply we have to say that the meeting to
which you refer, was called at the instance Of
that portion of our citizens, who see nothing in
the recent acts OF Congress to justify the people
OF the South in such resistance, to what has
already been done b. Congress, as they under
stand to be contemplated by those who are OPP
posed to them, if they are to Judge from tie
declarations OF their public speakers, and their
neWspapers-such as must necessarily in their
opinion lead to secession and disunion.
We desire to set forth to our fellow citizens
the notions which impel us still to cling to the
flag of our common country The measures TO
which you refer, have already been fully dis
cussed and the object Of the meeting is to give
to the public united expression Of our feelinos
and sentiments on these subjects Such benp
