The Richmond Wig on 4dairs ia East Ten
FORTRESS MONROE, Sept "a.
The flag of truce boat New York arrived
last evening, from City Point, with 500 prison.
ers OF war.
The Richmond Wing of the 23d inst. has
been received. In an editorial, it claims a
victory in northern Georgia for Gen. Bragg,
but says: we suppress eXultation at the
thought OF what yet remains to be done, and
the possibility Of losing all that has been gain
ed by falling to complete the work Situated
as Rosecrans is, the victory that does not dis
perse or capture his whole army, is lost op-
portunty. Ii he is permitted TO hold Chatta-
nooga, then our victory will be without profit,
and we have to mourn that SO many brave
men have died in vain, and chiefly, that the
gallant Hood has sealed his faith with his
blood.
Rosecrans must not only be beaten in battle,
but he must be destroyed or driven from East
Tennessee; otherwise the battle as well had
not been fought. If this stronghold is not
wrenched from him now, it will hardly be
hereafter. II he holds it, he holds a point
ddppui, from which he may, at any moment,
strike at the very vitas of the Confederacy.-
He holds region pestent with dissatisfac-
ton that needs only the presence of Yankee
army TO ripen into full treason. He holds the
country that must supply meat for our army,
nitre for our powder mills and coal and iron
for our manufacturing establishments The
possession of that country is of indispensable
necessity TO us; it is the prize for which Bragg
is contendlng until he has won it. We can
but rejoice with fear and trembling over what
he has done. Should he win, it will be the
superbest achievement of the war.
