We regret that one who possessed so largely the con fidence of the loyal people of the Union, should be compelled, at this time, to retire from his high position.' Old age and its infirmities have called away from active duty the “ Hero of a hundred battles,” who, after serving his country nobly and patriotically for a full half century, amid the trials and hardships of the service, the danger and thick drifting hail and shot of the battle-field, and filling the post of honor second by position, but first in the counsels which pertain to tho nation’s safety, retires to his home, there in the bosom of his family, to seek the repose and qniet of private life, to which he has so long been a stranger. Though the nation will receive this in telligence with sad ness and regret, yet wo have cause for joy that he still .remains in our midst, a living monument of Ameri can history and American glory. Wind field Scott is a connecting link in the chain of the past and present events of our nation’s existence. There is no other individual whose whole life has been so intimately connected with our govern ment. Seventy-six years he has been among us and fifty-three has been a sol dier. At the battle of Lundy’s Lane he dis- played the characteristics which betokened the military chieftain, and his subsequent ' campaign in Mexico will ever be looked upon as a perfect type ;of the art of war. But it was when our nation’s honor was assailed, and our country’s flag so igno miniously insulted at Fort Sumpter, that the true character of the noble old hero ahone forth with such brilliancy. Know ing no North, no South, but Lis country “ one and inseparable,” respecting no flag but the banner of stars and Stripes, and receiving an insult to it as an insult to himself, he entered with his whole soul into the efforts inaugurated to crush out this wicked and unholy rebellion. For the last six months he has stood nobly at his post, and endured an amount of labor, under which many a younger frame would have tailed; and it is to his wise and ex perienced counsels, perhaps more than to any other man that we may attribute our present security. We sincerely hope that if the govern ment be not again permitted to enjoy the benefit of his u wise counsels and sage ex perience/’ that the measure of his days may be lengthened out, and before he en ters on the long journey of Eternity, he may have the satisfaction of knowing that the difficulties which now disturb and distract the country which he has long and faithfully served, have been settled, the supremacy of the Constitution estab fiabed, and the glorious ensign of the Rc- public floating from every fort and for tress in the Union. The best wishes of the nation will fol low our great captain in his retirement, with sympathies for his suffering—its prayers for his welfare; A Million of Meta Wanted for the War. The President is engaged upon his mes sage to Congress. With a view to an eco nomical prosecution and early termination of the war, it is understood in the best in formed circles, that an increase of the vol unteer army will be called for. We are now in a position, telegraphs Colonel For ney, to estimate the strength of the force to be met in the field, and to meet chat force effectually, we will require a million of men. The rebellion has hitherto been under-estimated ; now the veil has been removed; our work is presented before us; it is not of small magnitude, but it is not beyond our control. We are more than equal to this duty ; our resources. in men and means are fur more than equal to all that will be required of us. If there is a deficiency in any one thing it is patriot ism—the very clement which gained for us our liberty and our Government. Are we ready to acknowledge that we have lost the patriotism of our fathers, or are we prepared to maintain and perpetuate those glorious principles of government which they by their blood and treasure purchased for us, and bequeathed to us, in trust , as our inheritance and as that of our. children ? A prisoner, taken at Ball’s Bluff, was astonished to learn that our army was not almost entirely composed of Abolition ists and radical Republicans, and that our main object was other than to emancipate slavery throughout tho South. He said, if the fact were generally known to the working people of the South that our solo object was to sustain tho Government and preserve the Union intact, there would be a revolution in the rebel army, and peace restored. He was surprised beyond mcas-. ure to be assured that Breckinridge Dem ocrats constituted a large component of the army. B"sr TELEGRAPH. THE VERY LATEST. Official Sews from the Fleet.

Fabsoh Bbowslow’s Farewell. —The Knox ville Whig has been at last suspended. The is sue, of Saturday October 2Gth, was the last one, and in it is contained Faison Browntow'a fare well address. The old patriot is as firm as a rock and dies game. His address is, as bitter and sarcastic as ever, and he pitches into the Confederate government in the most refreshing manner. He says he is to be imprisoned, but that he will march to his prison with as much pndo as the old martyrs’ marched to the scaf fold. Wht tret Opesed Them—A Hibernian, in describing a famine in the old c untry, said that hundreds had octually starved to death, and on opening their bodies, they had been so presag ed by hunger that they had actully filled them selves with grass. \« Why," asked a bystander, “were their bodies opened after death'”— “Why,", replied he, “to find out what thev stayved to death on, of course."

A Uorrirle Confession. —lt may bo recol lected by many of our readers that' about four years ago, an account was published of the burning of the house of the Perkins family at Milburn, M. Y., at night, when all the family, including father and mother, grandmother and eight children, eleven in all, perished in the flames! A Scotchman, by; the name of 'Walter Mitchell, who lived in the neighborhood at the time, and who had a dispute with Perkins as to the property, was suspected of the murder, but no proof could be found against him. He left soon after for the West.- Before the burning of the house ho warned Perkins off the premises, and threatened if he did not leave to burn the house over his head. This Mitchell recently died in Illinois, and on his deathbed confessed that ho committed the horrible crime! lie sta ted that ho threw'into tbe house a bottle of li quid, which set fire to it and stupefied the in mates—that Mr. Perkins aroused himself and came to the door, when he: knocked him back again, killing him. This is a most revolting story, disclosing a depravity which was too hor rible to die with the murderer. If there he in the infernal regions one place deeper and hot ter than another, this eleven-fold murderer will find it. ! A Cool Avekoeb. —A mysterious murder took place in a train on the Grand Trunk Rail way, between Detroit and Ridgeway, on the night of the 84th ult. While the cars were under full headway a gentlemanly appearing individual came up the aisle, and without saying a word drew a revolver and fired three times at a stranger sitting on the seat with a Mr M’Lcod. Of course be was instantly killed. The mur derer then inquired of Mr. M’Laod if ho was a friend of the victim, to which ho replied that he was the friend of a dying man. The revolver was then laid down, and the conductor coming along, asked what he did that for. He said—“ There lies my revolver with three more balls in it; take it and do what yon please with it” The assassin called himself M'Donald, and said both himself and the man he had killed were Scotchmen. He appeared to take the mat ter very coolly, producing,a cigar and lighting it as if nothing had happened. The conductor and another person took charge of him after wards, while on tho cars. What became of him In the end is not stated. i [LATEST WAR NEWS. Battle Wear Columbus, &y. 7,000 REBELS ROUTED BY 3,500 FED ERAL TROOPS. REBEL LOSS VERY HEAVY.

Gen. Price’s rebel army had fallen back eight.miles from Cassville, near the State line, and was still moving South. It was believed to be his policy to lead our army on, pot to fight, but simply to keep a large force so as to draw them into the Missis sippi valley. The general belief in the rebel camp was that St. Louis would soon be in the hands of the rebels from Colum bus, Kentucky. There had been a good deal of trouble about slaves escaping, in General Lane’s and other Federal camps, and Gen. Hun ter had given permission to the owners to search our camps, and reclaim them if they could find them. The ten missing members of Gen. Fre mont’s body-guard bad returned to Spring field, from Cassville.

Capture of the Pirate Sumter iu Her Own Trap, Washington-, Nov. 12— A family let ter received here, dated on the 25th ol October, on board the U. S. frigate San tee, off Galveston, confirms -the report of the capture of the pirate Sumter. The writer says she was caught in her own trap. It Seems that she mistook one of U. S gunboats for a merchant vessel, and started in .pursuit. When the gunboat had drawn her out'far enough, she turned and chased her ashore. Her officers and crew arc prisoners on board the United States steam frigate Niagara, BSBo. A new kind of artillery is proposed a baflallion to consist of six hundred men with one hundred guns, the guns to have the capacity of carrying two pound balls two and a half miles, and to have steel barrels, rifled, of supe rior workmanship. They are to be light, of metal, two wheeled carriages, each carrying its own ammunition box. Instead of horses, with the trouble and time of-hitchiug and unhitching, the men will draw their own carriages, which considering their extreme lightness, is less toil some, than carrying a musket and knapsack. There are six men to each gun, who, in addition o. course, carry pistols and other small arms- A battallion of this kind is now organizing at Richmond, Indiana. SPECIAL NOTICES. To Consumptives.
