Mahoney, editor of the Dubuque (Iowa) Herald, has been arrested for "discouraging enlisting." Gen. 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.
