cease to exist as a nation? Men of the North, now is the hour to decide that question. The Herald on the "Fresh Start." [From the New York Herald.] President Lincoln has the confidence of the country. No man doubts his honesty or his patriotism. Down to the recent seven days bloody battles near Richmond he may, perhaps,nd the war. Granted that it is an army of three hundred thousand men; we see no reason why it should be permitted to hold Virginia beyond the 1st of October. President Lincoln has the power and the means to put to flight and disperse this defiant rebel army within the next sixty days. Congress has invested him with absolute authori life and restore the health and integrity of the nation. With the free and full consent of our twenty-three millions of loyal people, Congress has given to President Lincoln these powers, means, and responsibilities of a temporary dictator; and our loyal people look to him with confidence for the most beneficent results to the co

There are here and there men who have stood out, at every sacrifice, (loss of property by confiscation and personal imprisonment,) protesters for Federal allegiance and recusant as to any recognition of Confederate sovereignty. But they are the rare exceptions in Eastern and Southern Virginia. There is a large class of m

McCall has been relieved of his command to recruit his health. Our disasters in Virginia — Wilson and Company Responsible. From the New York Herald.] The sentiments expressed by Senator Wilson, in his speech in the Senate on the 28th of last March, in reference to stopping enlistments and reducing the army, were also the views of Wade, Sumner, and Chandler. It is likewise clearly shown, by the speech of Mr. Wilson, that all our disasters in Virginia were brought about through the intercession and influence of this band of radicals at the War Department, with Wilson at their head. Says Wilson, "I have over and over again been to the War Office, and urged upon the Department to stop recruiting in every part of the country." In the same speech he also stated, "I believe that we have to-day 150,000 more men than we need, or can well use." With

his impudence and lies, cannot remove. They acted as a secret committee, and like the Jacobins in the French Revolution, undertook to control the entire action of the War Department and the Administration. It was through their importuning that Fremont was appointed to a department in Virginia; and then, in order to give him a chance to do something, they secured the transfer of the main body of Gen Banks's division over to McDowell, just as Banks was about to give to Stonewall Jackson the finishing blow, resulting in a raid of Jackson down the Valley, driving the reduced forces of General Banks before him. Fremont was ordered to cross the mountains and intercept Jackson in his retreat; but he disobeyed orders and took the wrong road, thus giving Jackson an opportunity to escape. Not satisfied with the disasters that they had caused in the Valley, they commenced their attacks on the army on the Peninsula, and did all within their power to harass the Commanding General and divert hi

ly those of one division) has exasperated at any rate — you may believe — and the intemperate exultations here of soldiers over victories in which sons, husbands, and brothers of those who listen have fallen, tends but little to soothe or to reunite. A chaplain, and one of our church, preaching in the open air in the heart of the town on a recent Sunday, after his service, announced to the assembled troops the recent victories in detail, and then called for "three cheers and a tiger and Yankee Doodle." He is not a great man, you will perceive; he meant it all as very well and loyal, but he knew not what he did, for the battles had been between brothers, over whose biers, and in presence of the mourners on one side, he asked wild soldiers to "give a tiger." As I thrank away into a corner of a church on that day, a stranger in my mother's house, and thanked God for the upholding of and offered myself a willing sacrifice on the of constitutional allegiance, "the victory was turne

general discomfort was but natural, but — Resignation — the word sounded ominous;. "If the people will not be satisfied, I have made up my mind I will resign, and let Mr. Hamlin try what he can do at it!" The response — from a Western man and an intimate acquaintance of the President's — was not less startling: "I wish to God, Mr. President, you would! " More astounding illustrations of the revolutionary spirit with which the air is charged could hardly be imagined. Letter of a Massachusetts Chaplain to his Bishop. The Boston Courier publishes a letter from a Chaplain to a Massachusetts regiment to Bishop De Lancey, of Western New York. It is dated at Winchester, and we give the following extracts from it: My Dear Bishop: How wonderful life is! I am writing this in the office and with the pen of our old friend, P. W.

Sard to get them. With this proof of his guilt staring him in the face, he goes before the people of his own State and denies ever saying any such thing. The truth of the matter is, this is but a small portion of the crimes that Wilson, Wade, Sumner and Company committed against their country during the last session. There is a long black list standing against them, which even Wilson, with all his impudence and lies, cannot remove. They acted as a secret committee, and like the Jacobins in

The work of this cabal was the more dangerous because it was secret and under the pretence of friendship. At every point their hate of General McClellan was made manifest, and eve
