The Fall Of Charleston in England.

Tho oews, per the Australia, of the fall Of
Charleston caused much sensation. Is i'm
mediate tff, ct was the advance of United
States bonds and a decline of / per cent, in
the Confederate loan.
Tho Times says the fall of Charleston is
a victory which will compensate the Feder-
ais for thoir many labors. 1t believes tho
South now virtually shut up from tho world

The London Times says Tho Influence
OF tho success at Charleston can hardly be
exaggerated. Tho moral effects cannot but
ho most powerful on tho conduct of the war
Ii seems that tho population of the South.
eastern 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 Charleston
as tho premonitOry of tho utter overthrow
of the rebellion.
Tho Army and Nary Gazeue soys tho
evacuation OF Charleston and Couih 5a and

to extricato them. The purpose of Grant
becomes moro obvious as tho campaign pro
'ceeds. Ile holds Lee fast, and thus para
lyzcs tho strongest arm and neutral'zes the
greatest force of the Contederatcs.
The Times says: Tho next operations
are expected. The Foberals have recovered
their military reputation, but if the South
is stall resolved to stand ont till the end
they have mado but lttlo progress towards
the conclusion of tho war.
In another editorial tho Times saws: The

The Times argues that tho Washington
