The Iron rams at Nantes. "Happy are they who expect little in this world, for most assuredly they shall not be disappointed." The six rams which were being built at Nantes for the use of the Confederate Government have been stopped by order of the Emperor. It was hoped that the French monarch would manifest some what more of an independent spirit than Russell has done; but hopes are, beyond everything else, deceitful, as to the objects of this life. Minister Dayton gave the order and the rams were suppressed. So, at least, says Seward, and we suppose it is true. We must hereafter look only to ourselves and our own interior resources for our protection. It is vain to tell us that the English people, or the French people, or any other people, are in our favor. If such be the fact, their love is of the coldest and most abstract description which it is possible to conceive. It consists not in outward symptoms, but is confined to their own bosoms.

e skilled naval architects who already pronounce the idea visionary and the attempt a failure, as impenetrability brings with it the sacrifice of speed and safely--two essential requisites. We shall know more about this by-and-by. Iron-clad gunboats and rams for smooth water, for harbor defence and in land service β€” these depend for succession wholly different considerations, and their value may be regarded as established. We annex below extracts from the reports of the officers. Captain Dayton, who commanded the monitor Passaic, says: At the fourth shot from Xi-inch guns, I was struck in quick succession in the lower part of the turret by two heavy shots, which bulged in its plates and beams, and forcing together the rails on which the Xi-inch carriage worked, rendered it wholly useless for the remainder of the action, several hours being necessary to put it again in working order.

Affairs at Chattanooga. --Vigilance of the Yankee--The editor of the Atlanta Register has had as interview with a gentleman who has had occasion to frequently pass the Federal lines at various points. He informs the Register that he spent last week in fruitless endeavors to pass from Dayton into Tennessee. He says that it is utterly impossible to get beyond the Federal outposts. The main mads are not watched half so closely as the hidden paths through the woods and mountains, and sentinels are more numerous at night than in daylight. Such watchfulness has never been expressed by any Federal commander as by General Grant. Our friend says that surely some movement is contemplated by the enemy, the concealment of which is of the utmost importance. He says that great numbers of Federal troops are being brought down the river on steamboats from Knoxville while very few go in that direction by railroad.

Mr. Dayten expresses the opinion that the recent course of the French Government in permitting Confederate vessels of war to be repaired in French ports, and allowing them to depart freely when ready for sea, foreshadows the recognition of the Confederacy. The correspondent of the New York World reports that, soon after the arrival of Gen. Grant at Washington, a council of war was held, at which it was determined, on the advice of the new Lieutenant General, to make the capture of Richmond the primary object of t

Journal. Northern opinion of the "Backbone" of the Rebellion.
