The London Times says the influence
of the success at Charleston can hardly
be exaggerated. The moral effects cans
not but be most powerful on the con
duct of the war. 1t is seem that the
population of the Southern States is not
able to oppose the march Of the Federal
armies. The advance from Savannah to
Charleston seems to have been as easy as
the march from Atlanta to Savannah.
The Star regards the fall of Charles
ton as premonitory of the utter over
throw of the rebellion.
The Army and May Gazette says the
evacuation of Charleston and Columbia,
aud the concentration Of garrisons, will
strengthen the hands Of Beauregard.
Hardee and Hill; but the Confederates
are placed in position of exceeding
danger, from which it will require greater
genius than ever Lee and Davis have as
yet exhibited to extricate them.
The purpose of Grant becomes more
obvious as the campaign proceeds. He
holds Lee fast, and thus paralyzcs the
strongest arm and neutralizcs the greatest
force Of the Confcderacy.
The news was published too late on
the Sd for the Live, pool and Manchester
markets. But the first effect was one of
depression, and cotton declined. J..
The rebel ram Stonewall continues az
Ferrol, watched by Union vessels. The
truth Of the report that she was leaking
is not confirmed, as she continues to take
on board large quantity of coal.
In the House OF Commons, on the Sd,
Mr.. Shaw Lefevre asked whether the at
tention of the Government had been
directed to certain minute of instruc-
tons alleged to have been issued by the
Confederate Government with reference
to the seizure and disposal Of Confede-
rate cruisers, of neutral vessels, without
adjudication by prize court, whether
such instructions met the approval Of the
Government; if not, what measure would
be taken to prevent their being carried
out.
Mr.. Layard replied that the attention
of the Government had been given to the
instructionsia question, and they were
entirely disapproved. 1t would not, how
ever, be consistent with the interests of
the public service to state what steps had
been taken regarding them.
The Liverpool Post, in an editorial
contending against probable war be-
tween England and America, says: "In
a note from a member Of the Govern
mcnt, received in Liverpool on the I'd,
occurs the following passage: 1 hear
the city is uneasy about America. We
have, however, more pacific and salts
factory declarations from the United
States Government than for long time
past has been the case.'" =.
The Post thinks the new Minister goes
out to rsciprocate the words Of amity
recently Transmitted across the Atlantic.
The London Times says the fall of
Charleston is victory which Nill re-
compense the Unionists for many labcrs,
and encourage them to pursue with res
newed vigor the conquest of the South.
1t believes that, although the South is
now virtually shut out from the world,
it will continue to show undated OBJ
stinacy in defence.
The Duly NeMs contents itself by
edi.orially detailing the operations of
General Sherman in a strain Of eulogy.
The Morning Post argues that Charles
ton was evacuated as = strategic neces.
sity, and says: General Sherman's
movements have been characterized by
foresight and accurate calculations, which
have obtAined results which place him in
the foremost rankOf the generals of the
present day" I
