From our own authorities we hear nothing as regards tba movements of our Army in Northern Virginia. The Yank-o news must bo taken emu grano viii ; tho wretched Doodles are so terribly frightened, they know not what they ?aar. We earnestly hope though that in the midst of tbuir terror, they have so far forgotten themselves u. to tel! theVuii, If the rebels are not already at work among them, they toon \cill be; so wo will Uko their late despatches as whisperings of their M prophetic souls." As the Chronicle said of Ylt jki!*DTUHAH wheu he sot sail from Wilmington: The prayers of th? oongregatiou are desired for thom ! To all Who llave nut lteen Eye-Wit liesses. Off and on for two weeks past, we bavo bad copious showers-often very violent rains. Streams ?re much swollen, add grass (or as our late Editor used to express it. Geni. Green) is making ? raid equal lo Grierson'!. Another wounded Soldier come Home. We are bappy to state that Sergeant Ton. CABWILB has at length arrived at boute. This y?ung gentleman wa? severely wounded at Chan cellorsville, and ha? since suffered much in Rich mond from the eoajbined effects of the wound and Erysipelas. Hi.' friends in the army and elsewhere, will be glad to b?ar that he is now on the high road to complete recovery. T Fernando Wood. This gentleman wh* kos boen known at the Beatle in former years aaa Democratic politician of New York city, has ju-tly distinguished hhn self more recently as a man of remarkable bold ness ?nd werai courage by a fair and fearless dis cussion of tba present relations between the gov ernment! and people of tho two sections of the cuntry. ' Mr. WOOD has fully oui most feorless'y committed himself against .tho prtsent Federal Administration, and tb? further prosecution of J the war. On the 7:h of April, a vast audience assembled at tho Cooper Institute, New York City, to inaugurate formally, a political party, sjlety ?nd professedly for peace; peuoa by roan IUD, |f the Confederate Staten will upon, any terms ro-uaito witk that people who have wasteland dosolated eur land; and if not, then peace anyhow, upon thc basis of two Independent governments. Mr. Woo? was tho principal speaker, and right ably and powerfully did ho -represent his part}. The speeeh boa appeared in some of our publie prints ; and our purpose is now simply to notice seme of tho more noteworthy points made by Mr. WOOD. The speaker was very honest and very fair in stating tbs full strength of tbe warparty at the North. Tibia party, ai shown by him, is Composed of various classes and various interests, ?Il of whom, ?nd all of which, are prompted, ex cepting the abolitionists proper, by the single mo tive of moory. Contractors, employers, manu facturers for Government, banks and bank officers, stockholders and stockjobbers, railroads, their officers, shareholders and creditors, the debtor ?lass of the community-who want to keep money plenty, ano* get out before the crasA-the President, cabinet and office-holders-all these desired the prolongation of the wur, and not its termination on any account, or any terms, Ucaute very Urge disbursements of Oovernment credit would enable them to make large gains; whereas a termination of the war would either curtail their profits, for feit their occupations, or involve them in the com mon financial ruin, which seems inevitable in any ovent More than twelve hundred thousand men, not tn the army, Mr. WOOD affirms, are thus bribed by the government:, and for government, to clamor for tue prosecution of tho war. Tho President and cabinet, be further suggests, desire the con tinuance of the war in order to wield a power whieh will secure them in powor for a time-or for life, if they dare to try it. In addition to this corrupt horde, there are tho real Abolitionists who hate the South and ber in stitutions, and waut.the wholo people ?nd proper ty of tke South annihilated. Notwithstanding this formidable array of num bers and of influence, Mr. WOOD bravely declares tke people of the North, whose liberties and hap piness Ut ?t stake upon the ii sue, aro ticenty times ?tranger if they will combino to pat down* this miserable faction which is driving on wildly ?nd madly to ruin and despotism. Mr. WOOD (rankly* and defiantly affi ms thxt tho Lincoln Government is lar beneath that ol the Confederate Stales; thal it is seeking lo con vert a free republican Government intu a military despotism; that ji" would not listen to terms o j puCi?eation if such were offered; that its maio objects e^n only be acooinpliihed by the evutimi .tore ?/ (Aa tear; that h< could demon? trate, that, froiu the military conduct of the wat, the Lincoln Cabinet did not intend, had not sought, the during of the war. Again, so late as the 3rd of June, Mr. WOOD has boen the principal speaker at another such meeting in New Tork City. We prophesied two weeks back that nothing would come of this con vention, but after noting^ its proceedings, marked by energy, directness and enthusiasm, we are in clined to think differently. The bold, open, straight-forward, statesmanlike speech of Mr. WOOD, on this latter occasion, aU-bave doubtlos road; it speaks for itself and needs no distended comment. We are much pleased upon the Whole with these speeches of Mr. WOOD, lie is now the leader of the party at the North, which aims at peace, either with, er loifA?fff reconstruction or re-union. Tnis language is intelligible. Thero is no mistaking the purpose of this party. We can most effectually aid Mr. WOOD, and th? men who are working with him in every one of the United States, by abstaining from bitter and abusive words of him and hie* party; and by speedy cruthing and deciding victories over the Yankee armies now invadimf and desolating thc land. Effort-action-result ! Should we be Discouraged ? Our fortunes are incomparably more promising and bright to-day than they wcro just twelve mouths ago. The prospects of the foe are far less flattering than they wero at tho sam* period. Our army never was so numerous-so well equipped-so well disciplined-so well clothed and fed-so well commanded-so healthful and so confident of success ns at this moment, lt is ap parent to tho dullest mind that the enemy is dread fully afmid of us. They plan, and scheme, and proclaim what ii to bo done, but they du it ut t, nor attempt it. Gen. LEE, after baring most nally defoated HOOKER at Chancellorsville, is now sweeping OB Northward, or, for all we-koow, West ward. Why may he not go into Kentucky as well as into Pcnnnylvanin ? Already wo beor of his brilliaut successes ; Winchester bas fallen, and Harper's Ferry (so say Northern papers) been evacuated without a blew being strurk. What may be tho ulterior designs of Gen. LEE, no pri vate citizen kuows. ile is one of those sagacious military men, who iustead of being controlled by circumstances, avails himself of them to carry out his own designs, which, at the samo time in volve the honor and interests of the Confederacy. Of one thing we may rest satisfied, if hehaa with drawn tho larger portion of his large army from tho heights of Frederic ksburg, and has murcbed them te some post hjgbor up the river, or even beyond the river, that be bu? oert?inty not left Richmond unguardod against any and every con tingency; and if he proposes to penetrate the enemy's country, disposing of any opposition that he may et.oounter from Gen. HOOKER or any other Yankee General on the way, that it is because be is a brave ard skillful man, ?nd thinks that the time for offensive operations, and perhaps for in vasion, has arrived, and, relying on the God of battles, means to venturo oe them, nome what may. . In the meantime, our own despatches ?You; Vicksburg, via Jackson and Mobile, meagre and indefinite though they be, continu? to bo favora bio, and derive at least par'ial confirmation by intelligence received from the North. All the assault* upon the fortifications &t Vicksburg have been most disastrously unsuccessful; thc Yankees bare now sent for spades, and hereafter the work of reducing Vicksburg will be done more by dig ging than by charging. Dut in that bcrenfter, Gen. Jos. JOQX.'OM, Gen. KIKBY Sunn, the bad water aud bad climate of the lower Misi-Lt-ippi, wiil all play important roles. After the crushing repulse at Charleston, ul', the boasta and hopea of the foe teem to hare "van ished into air-into thin air," and they have col lapsed into distrust of their monster iron-clads, and acknowledge Charleston impregnable AD MIRAL FOOTE has succeeded the unsuccessful DU PONT In command of tho South Atlantic Squad ron j bo wilt come, will " cut a caper," and thea "go down." Tho little success rocontly aohioved in Louisiana ia on a small rc alf, and can have little to do with the ultimate issues of the war. The Yankee? havo learned that it is not overrunning territory, but eonquerintj armies thut alone can give them the mastery. Se far Pf?rn destroying our great armies, they aro afraid to engage them in conflict. Muan while tho Yankee government grows into disrepute und contempt with its own people, and among the nations of the earth. Opposition to the war grows in strength sud intensity daily, and a party .f^r peace promues to sweep over the States of tho North. Meanwhile Europe manifest* Its conn J on oe In our permanency in the most unmistakable manner by the test of credits advanced in geld. Meanwhile the sickly season advances-that same arm of Providence which dismissed forty thouiand men from Halleck's army a year ago. Meanwhile, if we may believe what we read, a steel-clad fleet of war, equal to all tho tasks boforo it, ia being prepared, which wiH open our ports, restore our commerce, roliere our aoaports, and send their garrisona into the fioid to drive the Yankeo to his own seil. It is all going right. Courage and action now; patienoo and hope, and all will be well.' ?gj- Mrs. Mary Hampton, relict of tho late Gen. Wade Hampton, died in Columbia on Fri day, aged over 80 years. ?S?""
