Victory in Arkansas--Confederate iron-clads — Plans of the enemy.

Atlanta, Sept. 4.
--A special dispatch to the Appeal, from Senatobia, says that Gen. Price had an engagement with the enemy 15 miles below Little Rock, and obtained a victory over the Yankees.--The Arkansas army had been rapidly reinforced.

The Chicago Times, of the 29th, says that a Yankee messenger, lately sent to Europe, reports that six Confederate iron-clads are to raise the blockade of Charleston. Thirteen others are in a state of completion, with all the modern improvements, and appear designed to operate against the Yankee seaboard.

Gen. Halleck excuses the present inactivity of the Union forces. He says they are waiting for the culmination of the siege of Charleston, and that in three weeks he will have full three corps, under Gen. Banks, to move on Mobile from Pascagoula.
