THE s1ruArroS.-The profound gloom of

the army and its successful contest Of the
previous day. When the news was placed on
the journal of Commerce" Bulletin, the most
intense excitement prevailed Cheer after
cheer assembled from the immense crowd who
blocked the streets, aud the relief which the
public mind experienced was exhibited in a
multitude of ways, tending to show the terri
Bile strain under which it had been laborng for
some hours previously.
lst The Union cause depends at this mo-
ment on Major General Mcclellan and his ar
my. The insane business of the past few
weeks and months which has resulted in the
Gripping of that army, and which has prevent
ed its being properly reinforced. should stop
at once and forever. We charge this on the
radical men who have made the country ring
with their denunciations Of Mcclellan aud with
their Quaker gun stories. They denied that
there was any enemy at Manassas; they denied
that there was any large force at Yorktown:
they ridiculed the demand for reinforccments
for .McClellan before Richmond Senators,
Representatives, politicians innumerable sur

views on the war department The President
and Secretary Of War are human, and could
not but be Influenced to a certain extent by
this tremendous pressure We do not now
cite this matter for the purpose vi condemning
the past. 1t is too late for that. We recall it
for the purpose Of demanding. on behalf of
the people a different course i'm tAe futlrr.
We repeat, the hope of the Union Ga rests
on the army Of Mcclellan aud on that heroic
young General. The whole army, the whole
nation, the world knows Eis ability. and now
