PEACE MOVEMENTS.

The Ersning Post persists in Its condemnation
of tho late Hampton Roads conference, but de-.
cines to lot its readers know tho ground
whercon VIC commended it-this, namely: that
it had all but silenced the Opposition, and
brought thousands to the active support OF the
Government and the National cause--as witness
the recent demonstrations of Messrs. +, Wood,
s. s. Cox, The National Intetigencer, &c, &c.
Says The Post:
THE TRIBUNE has been childishly looking for rea-
scnable propositions OF peaco from the arcatraitof
Hunter II Virginia"
Now, we certainly were not without hopes
that the Hampton Roads conference would lead
to Peace; and those hopes are not yet dis
PEELED. But the position We took last July, aud
nave reaiIirmed until our readers must be weary
of it, is this: Our Government cannot hold
Peace Conference with the Rebels without
strengthening the National cause; for either
the Confodera,es will agree to some reasonable
terms, and so restore peace to our ong-suffering
country; or they will evince spirit which VIII
rally thousands to the National standard. and
thus greatly invigorate the War for the Union.
On this simple view Of the matter we have been
insisting for months; and we point to facts now
transpiring which demonstrate its soundness.

fedoIacy by the Emperor Napoleon Immediately @ssr me

Such being the case, why do the Rebel chiefs

that they ore fighting not fox Slavery but Inde-

THE FINANCES.

We do not, as is known, agree with those
who hold that our country is growing rich be-
cause or in spite of the gigantic War wherein 1t
is involved. On the contrary, VIC think 1t.
wealth and productive capacity arc rather
diminished thereby, Notwithstanding its peer.
less industrial energies and its immense natural
resources. individuals are amassing riches; but
the country-and even tho loyal States-are in
process of gradual impoverishnent.
Nor do We account vast National Debt
nor any Debt Of ala National blessing. Such
q Debt, like any other burden noby incurred
end nobly endured, is not without its mitlRa-
tons and compensations; but it is essentially an
evil, and only justiiably incurred TO oeyiate
atill greater evils.
Nor are we Of those who believe in pros
ccuting this or any war To the achievement OF
political or social millennium. We have grave
doubts Of the feasibility Of fighting this mulish
world into condition of mlenial purity aid
happiness; We apprehend that there will be
wrongs to redress, grievances to consider, woes
to mitigate, and sins to deplore, long after our
present struggle shall have terminated.
Of course, We sometimes differ with old friends
who, having all their lives been nOn.resistants
and unconditional peace men, have recently
come to regard War as the indispensable condi.
ton Of human progress II not Of mundane fe-
betty. and whose latest ideal Of The True
Grandeur Of Nations seems to involve bound.
less and interminatle carnage.
But, being forced into war. constrained to
fght for its existence or its essential rights We
hold that O nation should mako war Its business

NAVY ORDNANCE REPORT on TIKI
FAILURE OF IAE PARHOTT

This Report reyeals some remarkable facts,
which deserve serious attention and the widest
Publicity. TO enable the public to judge Of them

latiye action, designed to correct the alarming
evils which they indicate.
We find that, Of 703 Parrot guns supplied to

wise injured; and the Board attribute thin al
most exclusively to the premature explosion Of
shells inside tho bore Of the guns. This is one Of
the two stereotyped reasons invariably offered by
tho Ordnance Bureaus and authorities for the
burdting of ell guns which they have adopted aud
become officially responsible for-thc other rea.
son being that "the shot was not rammed home. "
These excuses have been offered for series Of
years before the war; and in nearly every case
since. Notwithstanding this extraordinary
state of things, neither the Army nor Navy Ord
nance Bureau has thought it worth while to
order practical experiment to settle this i'm
portant question, which could have been dis.
posed of in few hours by simply exploding q
few shells In gun at different points along the
bore. While IL IL 3 common md acknowledged
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1865-02-08

The country will hear with interest that the
Army of the Potomac is once moro in motion,
and will wait with patience to know where 1t Is
going. The dispatches this morning published
afford no clue to the movement. The Second
and Fifth Corps are mentioned as in advance,
and the whole army has marching orders with
four days rations. An evacuation OF Peters
burg by the Rebels is limited at, and the demon
stration by Gen. Grant would follow naturally
npon such an attempt. As for the rest, readers
may draw their own conclusion.
Simultaneously with this activity, Sherman
is advancing in South Carolina. He was re-
ported yesterday thirty miles north of POGO
talgo and menacing on Branchville. That was
Rebel news. The real direction Of his march is
not yet automatically reported. But the move
ments in South Carolina and in Virginia are
manfestly related. II Lee is evacuating Pc
tersburg, he contracts bis lines in order to send
of forces 10 oppose Sherman. If he is not,
Gen. Grant is operating to make sure that no IL
not. But we shall be by no means surprised 10
hear that Petersburg is given mp and that the
defenses Of Richmond are heldby agarrison only.
