Wise Convalescent. when, a few days since, we heard from Gov. Wise, he was in the hands of his medical man taking his pills and potions with a perseverance and a punctuality which seems to have been rewarded; for his Excellency is now clothed at least, if not in his right mind, and is making speeches with all that lunatic force which has always, in the day of his bodily health and strength, characterized his frenzied eloquence. He took the field in his finest fulgurant style at Richmond, Va., on the 1st inst. though it is only lately through The Charleston (S. C.) Courier that he reaches us in red-hot report. He followed Jeferson Davis, and in the matter of fuss and fire, he floored that official completely. In pure, unmitigtatd and sublimely inventive mendacity, we are inclined to think that Mr. Davis can give the Virginian any odds, and then vanquish him; but in the beautiful art of saying nothing and of seeming to say a great deal, Wise is still unsurpassed, nay, unapproac

Both orators upon this occasion-both Davis and Wise — seem to take it for granted that Virginia has been dreadfully injured by the mugh they may not be able to define it — must always be taken into account. Governor Wise says that he is a civil soldier --he is not, certainly, a soldier military them ; but when a man or State or army has none, what then is to be done? Governor Wise tells his soldiers to get a spear — a lance! Manufacture your blades from dle, so that it be strong — ash, hickory or oak. This looks desperate. When Gov.

In pure, unmitigtatd and sublimely inventive mendacity, we are inclined to think that Mr. Davis can give the Virginian any odds, and then vanquish him; but in the beautiful art of saying nothing and of seeming to says the beginning of it, and hurry — was its consummation! Both orators upon this occasion-both Davis and Wise — seem to take it for granted that Virginia has been dreadfully injured by the militarylves selecting the field, planning our campaigns, and directing all our movements. For example, Davis, who has made Virginia the battle-field quite as truly as we have accepted it as such, says: Upohat the foot of the invader has been set upon the soil of Old Virginia. That is to say this General Davis has transported his forces — horses foot-soldiers and artillery, to Virginia, to menace, and<

vis has transported his forces — horses foot-soldiers and artillery, to Virginia, to menace, and if he can, to capture the Federal Capital, and when we meet him nothing daunted, he tells the Virginians that we have invaded their State! There is an incoherence about this which can hardly be referred to the utmost possible saturation in whisky. We should have permitted the unmolested concentration of one or two hundred thousand men upon this sacred soil of Virginia — we should have allowed Washington. to fell an easy prey to the Confederate Army--we should have gone on considering a hostile State as neutral, while she was forging weapons for our destruction; but as we did not do this, as we saw fit to meet the enemy upon his own soil before he could by his presence pollute ours, we are invaders, we are mercenaries, we are assassins, we are incendiaries. Why do not the fire-eaters of Virginia, instead of complaining, thank us for giving them so large a provision of their favorite diet
