A Battle near the Atchafalaya River

New YORK. Octobur ll.--The Now Or
leans correspondent Of the Herald gives the
following particulars of tho engagement
near the AtchafaIaya. General Heron, on
account of illness, having received leave Of

in his place. This change occurred about n
week ago. Hf"
AS the oEemy was found to be in great
force and position on tho opposite side of the
Atchatalaya, the commanding General
thought it advisable to throw % eutrench
ments. and, whilc tie larger portion of the
troops wcrc fortifying tho lcveo, Lieutenant
Colonel Leake, of the Goth Iowa, was or.
dored to proceed somo ve or six miles in

Mor,on's and Mainr's Brieadcs, succeeded
in quietly crossing tho river and passing be.
tween tho main body and Colonel Leako's
company, outhanked and cut it off before
tho movement was discovered. '@'
Lieutenant Colocol Leaks drew M his
men in line of battle, and prepared to give
the advancing foo warm reception. A
sharp fight of balf an hour occurred, In
which our troops fought bravely agains,
overpowerng numbers but, at tho end OF
that time, they were compelled to surren

The London Times and the Rebel,
Mason. -

The London Times, referring to the
withdrawal Of Mr.. Mason from England,
sug fests the grounds which have proba.
bly, prompted the Government at Rich.
mond TO address themselves at last Who'll
" and exclusively to France. The infer.
ence is that the Withdrawal OF Mr.. Mason
is preliminary to some action on the part
OF France. Messrs. Mason and Slidell
were always associated in mems minds,
and so were also lhv Cabinet OF Paris and
London. as regards American affairs.
The presence OF Mr.. Mason in London
typifying the unsuccessful appeal to an
Ang lo.French alliance, has no doubt been
considered by the Confederates as n shack.
lie to the South. 1t appears so to two
powers, and it would not be matter OF
surprise that one OF them should hesitate
10 decide what course TO pursue wi,hour
the other. Now, things have changed
One OF these powers has taken position on
the American continent, which actually
enables this poor, harassed, unrecognized
Confederacy 10 confer favor. The South
a new neighbor to the distant neutral
States. to which Mr.. S!fdell was sent two
years, is now a sort OF neutral ally, with
a common antasonism to Federal power
Can it be wonder, then that the Confed
crate politicians desire to free the French
Emperor from any shackle that may re
PRESS his liberty of action? The appeal o.
the confederates is to France, also as pro.
prie,or Of the Mexican Monarchy, and a
bold challenger OF Federal supremacy on
the American continent.

Hear General John A. Dix.

The Democracy Of Gen. John A. Dix,
OF New York, has never been questioned
save by The Woods and Vallandighams in
sympathy with treason, and his ability and
pa,riotiom never in any quarter. He has
been, and is still, earnestly engaged in aid
ing to overthrow the gigantic rebellion
which has for more than two years threat.
ened the destruction of the Union, and in
letter Of September 3oh, General DIX
says: s,. ..

imputations brought by the people of the
North, particularly the speech of Senator
Sumner.
He also replied TO the complaint Of the
South in regard to the recognition Of the

break it, she prefers the course Of honor,
as i! would have been Infamous 10 break

Responsibility Of Northern Democratic
Leaders.

Northern politicians who coured favor
with Southern men, Northern aspirants to
the Presidency who wanted Southern
votes, caefully concealed from the South
the true state public feeling in the North.
eru States, and thus the South was led
into the erroneous belief that the North
would never attempt to coerce them,
should they conclude TO raise the stand
ard of disunion. TO this extent the Dem.
ocratic leaders in the North from pure
/ selfishness, have been aiders and abettors
of the rebellion, tho | am willing 10 be-
/ leve that some Of them did not know then
what they were doing. JeG. Davis was
evidently one Of those deluded men who
was thus made 20 believe that the North
would never fight, and he mus, now hate
and dcspise those Northern Democrats
whom he accuses Of deception and lying.
For lie said, when speaking of the means
Of cocrcing the South:
"Where will you 90 for volunteers TO
engage in this fraternal strife? Is it you,
or you. who will enls, in such war? or
who is it? In what State, or county, or
town, or ueighborhood, will you go for
recruito You must raise foreign army;
you must havea Swiss guard, when you
attempt with sword and bayonet TO enforce
your laws on the citizens Of the United
States. The free born soldiers Of our
country would disdain the task, for they
have grown from the cradle with convic-
ton that thisi il aonfederacy OF brethren
which rests for its authority on the con.
sent. md for its support upon the union
and harmony and good will OF its mem.
hers. This Union can never be preserved
by force"
jeff Davis, on that occasion, and on
others, was crammed--crammed by the
Northern Democratic politicians, ,crammed
by Northern Democratic asprants TO the
! Presidency. Some of these Northern
Democrats never dreamed of keeping THEN
promises to the South; some OF them kEew
they were unable to accomplish them,
and some Of them, 10 doubt, were foolish
enough to believe that they would never
be called upon TO make them good. This
is the way the rebellion was gradually pre-.
pared and matured. and whether Mr.. Lin.
coin or any one else were elected Presi-
dent iE 1864 Republican or an un.
Welding Democrs--the drama which had
been rehearsed SO long was bound 10 be
performed though the actors were most
gricvously disappointed in The audience.
