FROM THE SOUTH. —— : The Great Conflict in Georgin—Dixsatis- faction of the Rebs at the Kesult—The Troublesin North Carolina—A Threat- ened Famine at Charleston. The Richmond Whig of Wednesday, 23d inst. claims a victory in Northern Georgia for Gen’) Bragg, but in conclusion says: «We suppres exultation at the thought what yet remains to be done, and at the po: bility of losing all that has been gain by ing to make the work complete. Situated as Rosecrans is, the victory that aves notend in the capture or dispersion of his whole army is a lost opportunity. If he is perinitied w hold Chatianoega, then our victory will be without profit, and we have only tomourn thatso many braye men have died in yun, and chiefly tar the gallant Hood has sealed his titi wird his lite’s blood. Rosecrans inust not enly be beat- en in battle, but he must be destroyed or driven irom East Tennessee, el: he battle had as well not have been fought “If this stronghold is nots now it will hardly te here: ot uny moment strike at the very vitals Confecerac He hoids a region pestilent with disaffection that neds only the preseace of a Yankee army to ripen it into tuli-blown trea- son. He holds the country that must supply meat for our army, nitre for our powder -nills, ul and iron for many of our aanufactu- a blishments. “The pos: ion of that country is indispen- sable necessity to us. Itis the prize for which Bragg is contending and until he has won it we can but rejoice with fear and trembling over what he has done. should be wia, it will be the supervest achievement of the war.” In an editorial, on the 23d instant, tue Exam- iner says “SING, FOR THE PRIDE OF THE TYRANT I8 BROKEN. “Ig it yet time to intone the anthem! If Gencral Bragg’s bulletin is to be receryed with full contidence, we might safely do so. ‘Our victory is complete,’ says theexultant General. Possibiy—but it would have been more pra- dent to have refrained from saying so till the week of battle was ended. Our victory cannot be complete unless it is consummated by the recovery of Chattanooga. The prize of the congueror is East Tennessee, The incomplete resultis yery glorious. Prisoners, cauuon, the burial of the dead, possession of the field, pur- suit of the enemy—ail the trophies and tokens of successful war are our own. But let us wait for the end before we announce the tri- umph of the Confederate arms in the Central West, Jt has become the settled system of the enemy to prepare, beiore. delivering battle, some strong pointin his rearon which he cau fall back alter defeat, and win by his own re- inforcements and our indiscipline what cour- age could not secure.” ‘The Enquirer, in an article headed “Victory in Georgia,” says: Charleston and Chattanooga are the only points where the enemy present the least ap- pearance of fight. Defeuted at Chattanooga und driven back upon Nashville, the Vallan- digham men in Ohio would carry the election next month with little difficulty. The peace men of the United States would once more as- ert their manhood, and speak out as they did before the late disasters had choked their utter- ance. But it is not among the peace men of the United States thata victory at Chattanooga would most tell upon the cause. Here at home, its effects will be the greatest. It will rean- imate our people. The army needs but little reanimation. But the people have not expe- rienced the hardships the army has, and they are more easily made desperate. The army never despairs of the Republic, because it is itself able to bear its fortunes and its misfor- tunes also. But some of the people are so busy discussing the probability of a financial bank. ruptcy that deteata overcome them. A victory is wanted by the currency. We hope that Gen. Bragg will gain a decided victory. Troubles in North Carelina. 4 PROPOSITION TO HANG TORIES. We have aleo copies of the Charlotte, N.C., Bulietin, of September 10, 11, and 12, from which we can obtain some insight into their State troubles, and the revolt that is breaking out against the rebel government. In an are ticle denouncing the “Tories,” the Bulletin of the 10th gays: Wetrust that the troops now entering North Carolina to enforce law and arrest deserters, sustained they will be by Gov. Vance; will soon silence forever the murmur of those bad men who have brought about the present de- plorable state of affairs. We most sincerely regret to learn that there are a large number of Conservative, (i. e.) Sup. missionists to Lincoln rule, who per fight- ing their friends and brothers, and even their fathers, with the deserters from the army, than meeting Yankees on the battle-field, now band- ed together, to the number of about two hun- dred, at “Fraileys,” twenty miles above States- ‘ville, resisting the constituted authorities. Yesterday, a8 we have been informed, a se- vere battle was fought by Lieutenant Roberts, with forty Confederate soldiers, at thut point, resulting in the capture of four and the killing of two or three of the traitors, who have sent to Trap Hill for reinforcements. Colonel Sharp, of the 70th North Carolina mihtia, having been called on to sustain the Confederate authorities is sending torward the militia to the support of Lieutenant Roberts, who expected a pitched battle yesterday. ‘We hope the authorities will send forward promptly @ large force, at least sufticient to ex- terminate the whole band ot tories. Let a de- cided example be made, and all sympathizers among journalists who have aided in bringing about theee disgracefal scenes be hung, as an example to others who have been poisoned by their damnable teachings. DESERTERS IN ARMS. The Raleigh Register of the 10th says:—The 2tst regiment North Carolina’ troops left ‘this. city on Monday for some point west of here.

Bulletin, of the 12th instant says: “We again sppes to the people ot North Carolina to give what help they can oward the starving population of Charleston. We dislike exposing the necessities of our peo- ple, but if our friends can furnish oread and avert starvation, we believe they will do it when they know itis absolutely necessary.

The Richmond Dispatch acknowledges the defeat of the rebel fcrces in the cavalry action at Kelly's Ford, and virious reverses to their urms in the Shenandoah Valley, among others a gallant and successiul dash’ of our cavalry at Strausburg on Tursday week, and another at Kingsport on Frid: y, when the Union Colo- nel Carter destroye* . larce amouut of Con- federate sicres.

ENGLISH OPINIONS OF AMERICAN® IRON-CLADS AND WARK VESSELS, The American navy and the constructiun of iron-clad vessels of war in this country is ex- citing the minds of tae Engli-) people to a great degree. Captain Cowper Qoles, ot the English Navy, in a letter to the London Times, claims very great power for the vessel< built on the revolving shield principle, over common iron-clads of broadside cons Capt. Coles also argnes that these ¢ yessels may be made elective sea-going y. well as powerful to te. Capt. C., in this the els coast Bud river war- onnection, uviices the cesstul voyage of the Rolt +8 turret ship builtin the Clyde tor Dani-h Goyern- ment, of 1440 tons, ed with 44 inch fron plates, ond with two turrets each with two 60-pounder: Dan The vessel proved quite seuWO on the voyage from the Clyde to Copenhagen, and the men in the cupolas expe- rienced no inconvenienc. Capt. Coles next tes the case of the Roanoke, another Amer- ai vessel, which is a wooden ship trans- Joimed juto & turret ship—in short, a smai} | Royal Sovereign carrying six 440-pounders. The writer ther refers at length to the fight between the Federal turret vessel Weehawken and the rebel ram Atlanta, to show the superi- ority of the turret over the mere broadside iron clad. The writer then says: *: Without supposing either of these iron- clads to be a perfect specimen of the class to which it belongs, we know thatthe Atianta was at least three times as large as the Wes- hawken, carried three times the number of guns, and that the Confederates had such cen- fidence in her powers that they felt certain of capturing two of these turret ships and doing great damage to the Federal fleet. Butinstead ci this she Wus captured by one turret ship in the space of lifteen minutes from the effect of cnly five shots. Then, does not this action prove in a manner beyond all controversy or doubt that a veseel that can carry these heavy eune (140-pounders, with which the turret ship wus urmed) must be irresistible against ships of the present broadside construction, that are re- duced comparatively toas helplessa state when. mstched against turret skips as wooden ships would be against ordiuary broadside-portiron- clads. If the Weehawken, with one turret, and two 15-inch guns throwing shotof 440 lbs weight took the Aulanta in fifteen minutes, how loug willittake the Roanoke, with three turrets and six guns cf the eame caliber, to capture or destroy any broadside-pert iron-clad that we have, armed with smooth-bore 69-pounders or breach-loading rifled 110-pounders (of profes- sedly interior power,) being at preeent the heaviest guns which we have for service in the navy !” Capt. Coles thinks this is a cerious matter, and a subject which should occupy the early attention of the English Government; so that in case of war they may have vessels sufficient- ly powerful to cempete upon the seas with other nations. The London Times, in an editorial, devotes considerable space to this same subject, and» atter noticing also the battle between the Wee- bawken and Atlanta, says: “Toreturn, however, to the general question, we find twogreat principles! steadily preserved in American practice. In artillery the calibre of tne gum and the weight of the tare made a8 greatas porsible ; in ship-building the turret pattern prevails over every other. These principles, too, would appear to bein some degree connected, if we are to assume—what has not yet been proved—that only turret ships ean carry very heavy guns. Bat neither one principle nor the other has yet been reeognised in thixcountry. We are builaing turret ships, itis true, among other models, but we have not given them any preference, while such a thing as 8 400-pounder or 500-pounder gun has not been conceived. Our artillerists, indeed, have Seti condemned the very doctrine on which the Dablgren system of ordnance is based—that of throwing heavy projectiles with low velocities—and prefer to rely on velocity rather than weight. It must be remembered, as explanatory in some degree of the contrast between the two syaierae, that the Americans are shaping all their efforts according to the exceptional re. quirements of a special emergency. They build their ships for coast work and harbor service only. Itis by no means certain that any one of the ironciads engaged in the siege of Charleston could be sent to sea with safety. They are intended only for such work as they have teen performing, whereas the conditionsof our experiments ure far mcre extensive. Never- theless, until our inquiries have been aided by further evidence, it would be unwise to assame that we are right or that the Americans sre wrong. * * If Fott Sumter were a good specimen of @ modern fort, we should say that forts had been fairly beaten by guns, but we kuow that the tort was only a piece of patch- work, and we are by nomeans sure tnat it was +fiectively armed. We therefore suspend our jndgment, and content ourselves with indie dicatung the successive incidents which this War produces tor our instruction and gni¢~ ance.” Frnanctal.—New York papers of yesterday evening say stock market is lower and has a downward tendency.
