SIGNS OF LEGHT.-Yoices arc begin
ming at last to be heard in the North, with
.he true ring in them. Words are be-
ginning to be uttered, to which our soul
can respond. Hands are being extended
which we can grasp. a party begins to
be formed upon clear, consistent, bold
foundation, which will accomplish some
result, after the peace democrats of the
Fallandigham style foat away and are lost
in the fogs Of their own Inconsistencies.
These words we now hear have sense aaa
logic, and the men who utter them do
not shrink from the conclusions to which
their own reasonings lead N the speeches.
of men like Long Of Ohio, and in papers
like the Metropolitan, we find open, bold

Immediate recognition. Gcd speed them,
The following extract from Mr.. Longs

''The very idea upon which this war is
foundsd-coercion of States-leads to
despotism. To preserve a republican
form Of government under any Constitu-
ton, under the prevalence of the doctrines
now in vogue, is clearly impossible. These

that any peace is attaiuable upon the basis
of Union and reconstruction. If the

'Gen. Hampton occupied prominent

HEALTH OF LEES ARMY.--According to
!, Richmond letter.writers, there is as much
sickness in the army Of Northern Vir-
sinia, in proportion to numbers, as there
has been at any time since the first year
or the war the sickness is not of q
malignant type, however, being chiefly
intermittent fever. and disorders of the
bowels. The terrible campaign in which
the men have been engaged, the recent
slnlost unparalleled term Of drought and
hot weather, constant duty in the
trenches, absence Of vegetable food and
fruit, rs well as the lack of good waiter,
and the chill an 1 fever producing district
in which the tft ops are encamped, have
all conspired to impair the health Of the
army.
