From the New York Herald
The sentiments expressed by Senator Wilson, In
his speech In the Senate the 2eth Of last March,
the army, were also the views OF Wade, Summer,
and Chandler. 1t 10 likewise clearly shown by the
speech Of NJ. WILSON. that all disasters in Vir.
ginta were brought about through the intercess

Department. with Wilson II their head. Says Viii.
son. Il have over and over again been to the War
Office, and urged upon the Department to stop re
cruiting in every part of country" In the
speech be also stated. Il believe that we have to-
day 5000 more men than we need, or can well
use" With such representations ~ these at the
War Department they succeeded In stopping on
iistments; and now, when we want men, 1t 10 hard
to get them. With this proof Of his guilt staring
him in che face, he goes before the people of his
own State and denies ever saying any such thing
The truth of the matter ia, this il but small por
ton Of the crimes that Wilson, Wade Sumner and
Company committed against their country during
the last session. There is long block list standing
against them, which even Wilson, with all his i'm
pudence and lies, cannot remove. They acted as
secret committee, and Hike the Jacobins in the
French Revolution, undertook to control tie entire
action Of the War Department and the Adminstra
Sion 1t was through their importuning that Fre
lnout was appointed to a department in Virginia
and then. Iii order to give him chance to do some
thing they ssciled the transfer OF the main body
Of Gen Bankss division over to Mcdowell, lust a.
Banks was about to give TO StOneweli jackson the
finishing blow, resulting in q raid of Jackson down
ne Valley driving the reduced forces Of General
Banks before him. Fremont was ordered to cross
the mountains and intercept Jackson in his retreat:
bat 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 tteir attacks ON the
army on the Peninsula and did all within tLeir
power to harass the Commanding General and di-
vert him from tits real work that he was thers to
accomplish
The work OF this cabsl was tie more dangerous
because 1t MAS secret and under the pretence of
friendship. At every point their hate OF General
Mcclellan was made manifest and every represeu-
tation made and every scheme devised that could
be to destroy him and build up some officer who
would become their tool and be controlled bv
them. Like the Jacobins with Robespierre at their
head they endeavored TO build up their faction
at the peril Of the Union cause add We now see
the result From the brilliant victories in the early
part OF the season we have now to turn and wit.
ness the darkest hour Of the Union cause since ths
rebellion commenced Our forces reduced by dis
ease and battle and no men ready to ill up thsr
ranks, because, forsooth, Wilson and his asso.
ciates stopped enlistments The rebels on tho
other hand, have been all the time swelling
their ranks and increasing their army, and are
leaving no stone untarned to improve the op-
portunity now offered Unless reinforcements
are immediately forwarded. and the thinned
ranks Of our army filled up, events will show that
We have seen but the beginning of the disasters
that will ult from this Interference and imper.
tuning at the War Department by Senator Wiisoa
and his radical associates. They have, through
their UefnicioUs influence done serious fr;urv IN
the Unioa cause, and 1t now depends upon the en-
erEy Of tee Administration and the response of the
people whether this injury viii be fatal or tempo
rary. Every thing now depends upon the reinforce
ments to our army, and that, too at once There
is not day hour to be lost. The President ,s
determined not to be deceived any more. Our army
is to be kwellad to Its proper size. Men sre to be
thrown forward with vigor. Ths rebellion is to be
crushed. The country expects every Union man
to do his duty. Shall we be the greatest power OF
the world. shall We cease TO exist AZ ma
tion7 Men of the North. aow Ia the hour to dc
eide that question.
