Winfield 111-in til*-* iiwlire duties u! lits as Coinniander-in-chief of the American arm}'. This important event is alluded to elsewhere, but the following record of his official career will, be found interesting • General Winfield Scott, born in Petersburg, Vir ginia. 13ih of June, 1776, was appointed Captain of .Light Artillery on the 3d of May, 1808, Lieutenant Colonel Second Artillery 6th July, 1812; distin guished iu assault on Queenstown Heights, Upper Ganndn, lS'h October, 1312; Adjutant General (rant of Colonel) 18th of March. 1813; Colonel Se cond Artillery, 12th March, 1813; led the van, and was distinguished in capture of Port George, Upper Canada, 27th Mny, 1813; Brigadier General oth March, . 1814; in the division of Major General Brown on the Niagara, and commanded one brigade which fought the battle of Chippewa, 6th July, 1814; brevet Major General “ for his distinguished service in the successive conflicts of Chippewa and Niagara, and for his uniform gallantry and good conduct as an officer in snid nrmy.” 25th July, ISI4 (September 1814) in the latter severely wounded; received a gold medal “ with suitable emblems and devices,” presented “in testimony of the high sense entertained by Congress of his distinguished services in the successive conflicts of Chippewa and -Niagara, and of his uniform gallantry and good conduct in sustaining the reputation of the arms of -the United States,” 3d November, 1814; retained Bth April, 1815; Major General, and General-in - Chief of the Army, 25th June, 1841; took com mand in perron of the army in Mexico DMombee, 1846, and made llio conqueßf of Mexico, from the capture of Vera Cru7., 29th March, 1847, to the cap ture of the City of Mexico 15th September, 1847; received tie “thanks of Congress” of March 9 th, 1848, for “ uniform gallantry and good conduct conspicuously displayed at the siege and capturo of the City of Vera Cruz asd Castlo of San ,1 nan do Ulloa, March 29th, 1847; and in the successive bat tles of Cciro Gordo, April 18th, Contreras, San An tonio, and Churubuseo, August 19th and 20th; and for the victories achieved in front of the City of Mexico, September Bth, 11th, 12th, and 13th, and the capture Ilf the Metropolis, September 14th, 1847, in which the Mexican troops, greatly superior in numbers, and with every advantage of position, were in every conflict signally defeated by the Ame rican arms;” with the presentation of a gold medal “ with devices emblematical of the series of bril liant victories achieved by the army ” —“ as a tes timony of the high sense entertained by Congress of his valor, skill, and judicious conduct in the memo rable campaign of 1817; and subsequently appoint ed Lieutenant General of the United Army, the highest military rank that, under our institu tions, can be conferred on any citizen. ' Late Southern news confirms the indica tions afforded by the recent circular of Secre tary MI.MWXfiKIt, the financier of the Tchcl movement, that the cotton planters of the South are becoming heartily disgusted with tlicir Secession conspiracy, and that practical experience is beginning to demonstrate to them that the manufacturing and com mercial world can do without their cotton -quite as well as they can dispense with the princely revenues they have heretofore derived from its cultivation. These are important pre monitions of the joy with which they will sooner or later hail the conquest of a cotton-exporting American citv by our Government, from which they -can send forth their products, even if, instead of the restrictions and impediments to commercial exchange they have experienced during the dominance of the rebel leaders, they should find, as a just penalty for their compli city with the rebellion, a heavy export duty imposed upon them, such as the Spanish Go vernment imposes upon the planters of Cuba. We publish on onr first page further par ticulars ot the charge of Major Zagosyi’s guard upon the rebels at Springfield, Missouri, a military exploit which, for intrepid gallantry, finds few’ or no parallels in the military annals Of anv age or country, and our readers will be glad 'to learn that several Philadelphians shared the glory of this daring exploit. In a few days we expect to hear important news from opr great naval expedition, and that the attack will be made almost simultaneously on two poiuts, both between Beaufort and Cape Sable. Late Southern news informs us of the death of General Sam Houston, of Texas. His ancestors emigrated to America from Ireland, and he was borafn Rockbridge county, Virginia, on the 2d of March. 1793. At an early age he emigrated to the then frontier regions in Tennessee. In 18us ho -enlisted as a private in the United States army, and by gallant service attained the rank of lieu tenant. After the close of the war, he resigned his lieutenancy and commenced the study of law, establishing himself, when admitted to the bar, at Lebanon, Tenn. In 1821, he was elected major gene ral of the Tennessee militia; in 1823, he was sent to Gongress, and in 1827 he was elected Governor of Tennessee. In 1829, he resigned that office, and on account of domestic afflictions and other causes he deserted the haunts ofcivilizatien, and sought a residence among the Cherokee Indians, with whom he remained for several years. Then wending his way to Texas, he became actively identified with the rebellion of that State against the ■ Repub lic of Mexico, and in 1835 he was elected its first President. After its annexation to the United States General Houston was chosen one of Its first United States Senators, and his career in the Senate is familiar to every politician in the country- A few years ago a younger politi cal aspirant gained the good will of the Texas Le gislature, and prevented his re-election, but by an appeal to that- people in a Gubernatorial canvass, he proved that his ancient popularity had not been undermined, and he was elected by a large majority. At the commencement of the present rebellion he was bitterly Apposed to Secession, but the latest authoritative exposition of his views that has reached the North intimated that he had been unable to resist the pressure of the conspirators, and that recently he had becoige an advocate of tbeir infamous cause. The Retirement of General Scott The news by telegraph this morning is of a highly novel and important character. The Lieutenant General of the United States Army, whose life has been devoted to its re nown, and whose history is inseparably con nected with the prominent military events in our national existence, has at length, pressed by the infirmities of well-spent years, and wounds received in honorable battle, been compelled to resign his_ position to a younger but not less worthy commander. At no period has the genius of General Scott shown so efful gent as during this rebellion. In the begin-, sing of the struggle his name was a tower of strength ; and it was generally believed that, had he decided against the Union, all efforts would have been fruitless to rally an army to defend the capital andto maintain the Govern ment. Not unmindful, however, of the nationality, with whose career his own wag identical, the venerable warrior stood firm to the Union and the Laws, preferring to suffer ignominy from the people of his own section and native State, rather than surrender his loyalty to the Go vernment that had elevated him to the highest jnilitaTv position in its gift. His efforts during the war have been of the most ardent and self-sacrificing character. No duty was too. great for the crisis, and no burden too heavy in view" of his immense responsibili ties. The nation looked up to him, and he felt strengthened by their faith,. These later days have witnessed a glorious consummation to a heroic life, and the Lieu tenant General, having outlived the most memorable events of the rebellion, retires into private life to spend in quietude his few de clining days. There is something stirring and yet mournful, satisfactory and yet regretful, in this final act. It demonstrates the disin terested patriotism of General Scott, and forever puts at rest the doubts that hare lat terly been suggested by captious tongues as to the spirit that prompted his conduct. With the whole Cabinet and the President of the United States congregated to do him honor, the old Chief bade bis last farewell to active military-life. - We can surmise the flood of feelings that welled upon him—the thousand memories that a grateful nation cannot forget—hard fought fields, where his form, was foremost in the thickest of the fight, and blessed returns of peace when,-under the shadow of the Capi tol, the whole land tendered him ovations. Let us hope that the mantle of the old chief has descended upon the new, and that tho spirit of i<.(‘y patriotism which prompted Winfield Score through fifty-three years will Still inspirit our young veteran, now that he, with the best wishes of his countrymen, lias succeeded to the most arduous and respon sible position in their gift.

LETTER FROM •• OCCASIONAL.’* IYasiMxoi'ua, November 1, 1861 The first regular session of the Thirty seventh Congress of the Uni'ed Stages will fiSSCmhlc under very interesting auspices. Since the close of the special session, on the 6ih day of August, many things have hap pened that will require the supervision of the representatives of the people in the Na ional Legislature. The ba'ttG of Manassas was decided dnring the sitting of the called ses sion, and the lesson taught by that terrible reverse was practical and useful. It unUcd the friends of the cause in Congress, by lift ing them up to a full comprehension of the surrounding dangers, and their consequent imperative duties. It impressed the. people with a sense of the magnitndo of the struggle in which our troops are engaged, and of the fact that this struggle cannot be carried on without vigor, determination, and entire harmony among the soldiers and citizens. Military blunders have indeed been commit ted, and much suffering and much complaint have been the result. Some grievous dissensions have grown up among the chiefs in the army, and indiscreet politicians have magnified and stimulated these dissensions; hut we ought to take into account the great good.which has been accomplished since the close of the special session. The demoralized and panic stricken anny of the Potomac has been re modelled, re-formed, and disciplined. The great naval expedition has been prepared, completed, and sent forth upon its mission. The immense loan authorized by Congress, in regard to which so much solicitude was enter tained, has, in great part, been subscribed by the hanks and the people, without the aid of .foreign capitalists. The Federal Government has asserted and established itself in Kentucky, crushed treason in Maryland, expelled the trai tors from Western Virginia, and is rapidly pre paring to open the way into Eastern Tennessee. In spite of spies and disaffected men in the loyal States, the people of these States have come forward with glorious promptitude, in response to the call of their respective gover nors, furnishing not only thousands of new troops to the army, but contributing immense supplies of the necessaries and comforts of life to their gallant connections rallied under the American flag. It is to be hoped that as little partisan feeling as possible will be exhibited during the coming session. We ought to re collect that Congress, unlike the rebel cabal at Richmond, is a public body, the proceedings Of w hich are at once made known to the whole world, and that any divisions or criminations among those who should bo a unit, will be hailed with exultation enemies, and carry despair to the hearts of our friends. Yet, while the example of harmony should be set by this Congress, the public honor and the public safety alike require tlmt the most rigid 1 scrutiny Should be exercised in regard to tho expenditures for tho prosecution of the war, and the discipline, protection, and welfare of our troops. We shall miss, in this coming session, the patriotic gentlemen who consumed so much of the public time last July and Au gust, in attempting to show their fidelity : to the Constitution of tho United States, I and their anxiety ihat this war should be ! brought to a speedy and honorable close. As I anticipated in one of my letters, after the , final speech of John C. Breckinridge, that | worthy young man hae followed tho logic of i his treason by putting himself directly under the banners of the Confederates, and by giving the lie to all his declarations, public and pri : vate, during his last sojourn in Washington, i He deplored and denounced the act of his own son, when that hopeful offspring of an ingrate ; father enlisted in the ranks of Davis, and yet i he is now at his side, giving him counsel j and support. He cried out with aloud voice in favor of State Bights, and yet he is : now in arms against the voice of his own ; native Kentucky—trampling under foot the ! decrees of her regular Legislature, and re fusing to follow even the reluctant example of , his friend, Governor Magoffin, who yielded to : a destiny he could not avert. Alter having done all in his power to demoralize the Fede ral Administration, he goes over to help the rebel Administration. Of course, his col league in the Senate, Mr. Powell, will not be hero to take his seat; and the same is pre dicted in regard to the two Senators from Missouri, Johnson and Polk. I am gratified to be able to state, however, that the Senators from little Delaware, Messrs. Bayard and Salisbury, Will continue to represent their people, and I am not without faith that, inas much as they have now seen where secession has landed their late leader, they will cordially sustain the constituted authorities of the ■ Union, and so faithfully carry out the wishes of their constituents, A good deal of specu lation is indulged as to whether Senator Bright, of Indiana, will hold his place. He is a bold man, and as he is the owner of some property here, and has many warm and de- I voted friends, he may probably resolve upon ; the experiment of remaining a member of the : United States Senate. In the House, Bur nett, of Kentucky, will doubtless he absent j i but, with this exception, every other Kepre sentative will be on hand. Grave conse quences and great achievements depend upon the doings of the forthcoming session of Con ! gress. Occasional. Public Amusements. i . Arch-street Theatre.— “The House on the j Bridge at Notre Dame ” was produced for these ! cond time last evening, and the theatre crowded in | every part. If public approbation bears any rela -1 tion to the merits of a drama, the “ House on the | Bridge” will meet with a long and enthusiastic ca ■ reer. It has been prepared for representation with 1 great bare, all the details of costume, Scenery, find : mechanism being perfectly arranged. The drama, : itself, is remarked by stirring incidents, and a plot, j in many respects, above mediocrity. The incidents, , however, are not new, and no attempbhasheen made to individualize the characters. The old dramatic resort of one performer representing two characters, constitutes the main interest of the play. The-plot is not throughout plainly delineated, and the zfe nommmt is Arnpt, and, so far as the minor cha racters arc concerned, unsatisfactory.. Too much is left to bo inferred, and too little is explained.

Cameron, Secretary of T Var: Snt: For more than three years I have been un able, from a hurt, to mount a horse or walk more than a few paces at a time, and that with much pain. Other nnd new infirmities, dropsy and ver tigo, admonish me that a repose of mind and body, with the appliances of surgery and medicine, are necessary to add a little more to a life already pro tracted much beyond the usual span of man. It is, under such circumstances, made doubly painful by the unnatural and unjust rebellion now raging in the Southern States of our so-late pros perous nnd happy Union, that I am compelled to request that my nJme be placed on the list of army officers retired from active service. As this request is founded on an absolute right granted by a recent act of Congress, I am entirely at liberty to gay that it is with deep regret that I withdraw myself, in these momentous times, from the orders of a President who has treated me with distinguished kindness and courtesy whom I know, upon much personal intercourse, to be patri otic without sectional partialities or prejudices, to he highly conscientious iu tho porformanee of every duty, and of unrivalled activity and perse verance. And to you, Mr. Secretary, whom I now officially address for the last time, I beg to acknowledge my many obligations for the uniiorm high considera tion I have received at your hands, and have the honor to remain, sir, r With high respect, your obedient servant, A special Cabinet council was CTOYCU9d on Fri day morning, at 9 o'clock, to take the subject into consideration. It was decided that Gen. Scott's 'request, under the circumstances of his advanced age and infirmi ties, could not be declined. Gen. McCleli.ax was thereupon, with the una nimous agreement of the Cabinet, notified that the Command of the army would be devolved upon him. At four o'clock in tho afternoon the Cubinet again waited upon the President and attended him to the residence of General Scott. On being seated the President read to the General the fol lowing order; “On the Ist day of November, A. D. 1861, upon his own application to the President of the United Stntos, Brevet Lieutenant General Winfield Scott is ordered to be placed, and hereby is placed, upon the list of retired officers of the army of the Uni ted States, without reduction in his current pay, subsistence, or allowances. ” The American people will hear with sadness and deep emotion that General Scott has withdrawn from the active control of the army, while the Pre sident nnd the unanimous Cabinet express their own and the nation's sympathy in his personal affliction and their profound sense of the important public services rendered by him to his country- durimr long and, brilllftht 4&MtAAj£”*mroiz]£ WffivA will ever “ ImreraUy ditmgnishcd bis faithful devotion to the Constitution, the Union, and the flag, when, as sailed by a parricidal rebellion. Abraham Lincoln. Speech of General Scott. General Sooty thereupon rose and addressed the President and Cabinet, who had also risen, as fol lows : President : This honor over,whelms me. It overpays all services I have attempted to render to my country. If I had any claims before, they are all obliterated by this expression of approval by the President, with the unanimous support of his Cabinet. I know the President and this Cabinet well—l know that the country has placed its in terests, in this trying crisis, in safe keeping. Their counsels are wise. Their labors are untiring as they are loyal, and their course is the right one. President, you must excuse me; lam unable to stand longer to give utterance to the feelings of gratitude which oppress me. Iu my retirement I shall offer up my prayer to God for this Adminis tration, and for my country. I shall pray for It with confidence in its success ever its enemies, and that speedily. Remarks of the President. The President then took leave of General Scott, giving him his hand, and saying he hoped soon to write him a private letter expressive of ids grati tude and affection. The President added : General: Ton will naturally feel solicitude about the gentlemen of your ttaJl, who hare ren dered you and their country such faithful service. I have taken that subject into consideration. I un derstand that they go with you to Hew York I shall desire them, at their earliest-convenience, after their return, to make their wishes known to me. I desire you, however, to be satisfied that, except the unavoidable privation of yonr counsel and society, which they have so long enjoyed, the provision which will be made for them will be such' as to render their situation as agreeable hereafter as.it has been heretofore. Each member of the Administration then gave hi 3 hand to the veteran, and retired in profound silence. Response of Secretory Cameron. The following is the response of the Secretary of War to the letter of General Scott : War Department, •Washington, Nov. 1,1861. • General : It was my duty to lay before the President your letter Of yesterdajiaskiDg to bo re lieved under the recent act of Gongress. ' In separating from you. I cannot refrain from expressing my deep regret that yonr health, shat-' tered by long service and repeated wounds, re ceived in your country’s defenoe, should render it; necessary for yon to retire from yonr high position at this momentous period of our history. ' Although you arc not to remain is active service, I yet hope that while I continue in charge of the Department over which I now preside, I shall at times he permitted to avail myself of the benefits of yonr counsels and sage experience. It has been my good fortune to enjoy a personal acquaintance with you for over thirty years, and the pleasant relations of that long time have been greatly strengthened by your cordial and entire co-opera tion in all the great questions which have occupied the Department and convulsed the country for the last six months. In parting from you I can only express the hope that a merciful ProTidenco, which has protected you amfdst so many trials, will improve your health and continue your life long after the people of the country shall have been restored to their formor happiness and prosperity. • 1 am, General, very sincerely your friend and servant, Simon Cameron, Secretary of War.

Headquarters of the Army, Washington, D. C., Hov. 1,1861. In accordance with General Order Ho. 91 from the War Department, I hereby assume command 'of the armies of the United States.

The Thirty-sixth Pennsyl vania Regiment, Colonel James Miller, are now encamped at Good Hope, about two and' a half miles from the nnvy ynrd bridge. Mr. Bonsall. the hospital steward, informs me that they captured n rebel spy yesterday. He destroyed some valua ble papers he had in liis possession. Movements of tlie Enemy. General McClellan has, through means not made public, informed himself very minutely of the movements of the enemy,, the number and strength of their batteries nt and in tho vicinity of Manassas Junction, the number of guns they have mounted, and the strength of their army. He is guided in his operations by a full knowledge of all their important movements. General McClellan with his staff and body guard. now increased to two hundred, went over the river to-day to attend a review and drill of a' large division of the army on Hall's Hill. The army is now, (noon,) as the telegraph intimates, drilling with blank cartridge' along the linos. General McClellan is closely'inspecting tho clothing of the soldiers, And ennsing each regiment, company, and man to be provided with comfortable winter shirts. The paymasters have commenoed their labors, and to-day_thousands of soldiers will be paid off in full up to this dato. Paymasters are prompt ex cepting where delays are caused by errors in the pay-rolls sent in from the regiments. The Navy Department have nothing to-day from below.

Members of Congress, who undertook to dictate to the President, the commander of the army, and members of the Cabinet here, hare received a cheek that has silenced their importunities, at- least for the present. Arrest of a Traitorous Guide, Dr. Lloyd, of Vienna, Va., who has for some time been acting as a volunteer guide for the Fede ral Loops In' that vicinity, was arrested yesterday by order of General Hancock, and conveyed to Washington, lie is accused of giving information to the rebels. Indications of an Advance of the Rebels. A contraband who came within the lines of Gen. Hancock, to-ilay, reports that he loft Manassas Junction ou Wednesday night; that the rebels hare extensive fortifications at Centreville, nnd an army of 50,000, and that their camps extend with in two miles of Fairfax Court House. At Ma nnssns they have about 10,000 troops. -I'ho outer pickets of General McCall's division were driven in last night, indicating an advance of the rebel nrmy. A large party was sont out to meet them, when thoy retreated. Their object was evidently to capture the men on the outposts. Signal lights were plainly visible last night in the direction of Leesburg, and Also toward Centre ville, Winfield Scott. The intelligence received this morning from the lower Potomac represents that all is quiet, though the rebels are still, making strongei fb?hr batteries on the Virginia side. A report prevailed at an early hour this morning that the rebol steamboat Tage bad succeeded in running the blockade of our vessels, and was again safely anchored in Ac quia creek, but it was flatly contradicted at the navy-yard at noun. It is reported that the rebels purposely allow somo of the oyster boats to run up, as they give them facilities to tend spies to Washington From certain matters which have been developed during the past few days, there is 89 doubt but that there ie some4ruth in this. The steamer Resolute onme up to the yard yes terday afternoon, and went down to the flotilla again in an hour or two'. The Fusty camo up late last night and left the yard again early this morning. Both steamers .re-' port affairs unchanged down the river. The rebel steamer George Page is still cooped up in Quantico Creek, but has. worked her way suffi ciently fur in to be out of sight from the Maryland side. The irnvb -.-.-Laltorieoas -J1 and a -number of guns and- mortars have been mounted. A few oyster pungies run the blockade now and then, and yesterday a schooner is said to have passed down. Experimental firing with a ten-inch mortar was made at the navy yard, this morning, with a charge of three pounds of powder and an elevation of forty-five degrees. A shell, not charged, weighing one hundred and two pounds, was projected to a distance of 1,400 yards, the time of flight being About seventeen seconds. The firing demonstrated that considerable accuracy may be attained with the old-fashioned mortar, and that at a distance of from 1,000 to 2,500 yards thoy are very effective weapons.

I, therefore, by virtue of tlie authority vested in mo to arrest all persons in rebellion against the United States, require you to take into cuatody all such persons in any of the election districts or pre cincts in which they may appear at the polls, to effect their criminal attempt to convert tho elective franchise into ail engine for Ihu subversion of the Government, and for the encouragement and sup port of its enemies. In furtherance of this object, I request the judges of election of the several districts and pro einets of the State, in case any suoh person aboil present himself and offer Ms vote, to' commit him until he can be taken into, custody by authority ot the United States. And 1 I call on all good' and loyal citizens to support the judges of election, the United States marshal and his deputies, and the provost marshal of Baltimore and his police in their efforts to secure a free nnd fair expression of the mice of the people of Maryland, and nt the smut: time to prt*\out the bidloi-buxes lium being' polluted by treasonable votes.

Syrincfield, Mo., Oct. 20.—The total number of killed, wounded, nnd missing of the body-guard is 51. The killed and wounded of the rebels, according to their own account, Dumber* 80. The Homo Guard appear to hare come eut strongly of late. /They captured and brought back Major White, who wns a prisoner, and the fourteen rebels who were taking him to Gen. Price's camp. Last night about twenty of them charged on Lieut. Gel. Jehu H. Price and twelve other rebels, killing one of them twelve miles south of here, and bring ing all the rest in, and they are now prisoners' in our camp. The rear divisions of our army are coming up. to us by forced marches. General Pope and General Hunter’s commands are expected hero this ev-en ipg, and General MoKinstry’s to-morrow. All our troops are in the best of spirits, and lull of enthu siasm. General Fremont has taken possession of tho flouring mill in this county, and is rapidly gather ing,supplies for the army. General Price is near the Arkansas line. It is doubtful whether he will give us battle. The rebel officers thought that the body guard that made the attack upon them was 2,508 strong, and on their retreat swore at their men for acting like a peek of cowards. We got about sixty of thdr muskets, which they dropped in their flight. Our advance is at Ozark, fifteen miles south of Bpringfield. Fifteen of the body guard were buried yesterday afternoon with military honors. The Burton Cadets, Holman’s Sharpshooters, General Fremont and.staff, all the surviving and unwounded guards, and a large number of citizens, hath male and female, followed in the precession. The bodies were buried in one grave, into which General Fremont cast the first earth. Release of the Gallant Colonel Mulligan.

From stealing chips at a neighboring shipyard, he advanced to the s&te of bogus theatre tickets. For an indiscretion, in attempt ing to victimize a venerable gentleman by the latter means, be was brought before n police magistrate. His natural cunning and hypocrisy alone saved him from committal, and so impressed was the aged gentleman with bis lugubrious expression and pitiful tale of life’s experience, that he withdrew the complaint, and Gama liel W#>s eet free. Hie aged benefactor had still a living Interest In Ida welfare, and, tired with honest zeal, he had Gamaliel ap prenticed to a son-in-law, engaged in the Bible-publteh* ing trade. He invariably ate meals with a Bible opened before him. The Book of books was constantly in his hand, the 6tand-by of his consummate hypocrisy. ■With such a pious youth in charge, sums of money were nevertheless frequently misßingfrom tho draw er. In CUUITC of timethe mystery grewpMnfull}'inexplicable, and one cheerful morning in September, the Bible student was called aside and questioned. In spite of tears and pleadings, the choice was presented of an entry to the Tombs, or the cancelling of his indentures. The last al ternative was eagerly embraced, and at the age of nine teen, with twenty-five dollars in his pocket, and the will ing promise from his employer that the affair should never be divulged, be found himself friendless, but at liberty. Young next ingratiated himself into the confi dence ofßodptv in .Buffalo*auJ, ala Kin«n u-aui-u-. compenwjHfo, was engaged as tract aiitri&mor. Iu this capacit£he became well acquainted throughout W ©stern Mew Ifcrk, andjit* meek, deportment, and a small stock or scriptural maxims that he hod amassed, gave him a certain currency and a passport to the graces of the people. Before ft month had passed, a donation of five hundred dollars, made to the society by a wealthy maiden lady, was most mysteriously spirited away. It was noticed, by worldly-minded people, as rather a striking coincidence, that Gamaliel was ascertained to be missing on the very same day. The only souvenir he had left behind was a faded and empty carpet-bag, that for months thereafter possessed ft most painful interest for an irate landlady, “ Gammon” (such was his youthful nickname) turned up a six months afte#in £fc. Louis, whence be wrote a most affecting letter to his first employer. Iu that epis tle (which was chiefly remarkable for its untrammeled sys tem of syntax and orthography, and which totally ig nored the dogmas ox punctuation,) Gamaliel professed the <!e?P?gt penitence, A law associate, ho said, named Hfirdftn (or Harlan) had taught him gambling, and lured him on to ruin. His great desire was once more to see bis aged parents, as he had contracted a fatal disease, and felt assured that life and the things of this world were not long for him. He wound up with a plaintive request for the lean of thirty-five dollars to pay his fare back to New Tork 1 The letter probably received no answer, for we next bear of him begging a pass to Pittsburg, The ticket agent hearkened to the specious pica that he had ex pended'his last cent in part payment of a deceased brother’s funeral expenses, and wilted into tearful sym pathy. The pass was written, and with it a letter of in troduction to a well-to-do storekeeper in the Iron city. Here, had he as strongly! represented and urged his case, he might doubtless have found employment; but bis knavish instincts clang to him with deadly tenacity. Somehow or other, in hla etrAhge, ih*»i*pi>6h4kid{b!6. way, he made the acquaintance of a widow, of some means, named McN- ■— e. As far as the lady was con cerned, the acquaintance seems to have ripened into a confidence and affection which remained unshaken. An only son of Mrs. MuN—c had, much against his mother’s wish, enlisted in the army service, the war of 1812 having just commenced. At length intelligence came, that tie absent on© had boon severely wounded in bofctid. Gamaliel was the first to offer consolation. He volunteered to proceed to the Government hospital, and either to bring home the suffering youth, or, in cose his wounds were so serious that he could not be moved, to secure the profes sional services of a first-class surgeon. The generous proffer was embraced, and Gamaliel was furnislibd with $l6O to defray expenses. Mrs. McN—e never saw him afterwards; but in the next week came another letter from her fi6h. Ho hod no knowledge whatever of An en gagement having taken place, and was dying with impa tience for such an event, as he was anxious te win him self a captaincy 1 Thereafter, Yan Cott with groat industry pursued the profession of swindling. He embraced it with enthusiasm, and in course of time became renowned as the discoverer of lost sons and fathers, forgotten wills, rusty household furniture, and bones of relatives, ancestor*, and llftroog. No bloodhound became so keen on tho scent of a secret. If some* prodigal but revered boy had stolen away and perished under the sea, Gamaliel could restore him. He. learned the day of bis birth, the hue of his hair, and all facta by wliich recognition could be made plausible. The Quantities of bequests, farms, and children that be pro mised to restore'vrould*have peopled a small planet: and be was seldom detected, and always received abort terms of imprisonment. * Ignorant prison agents, sbollow-pated prison visitors, gullible jurymen, were wrought upon.

Another Victih of Bale’s Bluff.—The body of John Johnson, aged 18 year.?, a member of com pany P, California Begiment, who was killed at tho bat tle of-BaU’sßlnff, was expected to arrive in this city last evening. Hlb parents reside in Second street} below Dia mond, Nineteenth ward, from where the funeral will take place. On the day of the* fatal affair Johnson behaved all tlirough like an old veteran. A braver young man was not on tho battle-field. After be ing shot three times he Btill continued to firo on, when he was conveyed over the river by his corporal, Lewes Peze, who states that the deceased had only six rounds out of forty left in his cartridge-box. He died as became a soldier, the last words uttered by him, “ the stars and stripes forever.” Johnson, while nt Fortress Monroe, was also distin guished for his attentiveness and bravery. It is related of him that, one night, while posted as sentinel, the grand founds, consisting of General Butler and staff, came OlObg, and, on pretence of net knowing the countersign, would not give it. Johnson was the only man of the gu&Fd that would and did slop him, and ho compelled the General and his staff to remain until the corporal came up and released them. General Butler the next day spoke in the highest terms of Johnson to his captain— that he was one of the best guards in the regiment. Cor poral Peze, who assisted in conveying his body over the river, also behaved with grunt bravery during the en gagement, for which be received a furlough for two weeks. He is now* at his residences In tills city, at the southwest corner of Second and Diamond streets, where be-is willing to give any information to the friends of • those who are in the regiment.

The durability of it, moreover, is fully equal if xfot superior to any others in use; and for baking and general cooking pur poses it is prwun?94 utj equalled by all who have given it a trial. We have also examined a celebrated Combiuattou Cook Stove, for which Mr. Clark has the exclusive agen cy. Although essentially different from the stove above referred to—being more elaborate and massive—there are doubtless many who will find it difficult to decide bo tween the merits of the two, so admirably aea they both adapted for popular use. The peculiarities of this “. Combination” article—which is entirely new, this be ing the firetseason of its introduction to the public— may be briefly referred to. In the first place, it is pecu liarly well adapted for the use ef farmers, as it consumes coal and wood equally well, and is oabablo of performing a very largo amaunt of work, baking, cooking, ct cetera, Ono of its groatmorttß Uln tho formation of Its grate, which is novel in its construction, and at least double the weight of the ordinary grates in use, as we saw by com parison, The bars of it are hollow, and the air circulating between them, becoming heated by contact with the hot surface, is passed direct ly around the oven, thus securing a much greater amount o f heat Gian could otherwise be obtained from the same quantity oF fuel. This circulation of air also has a direct tendency to protect the bars of the grate from burning out, making the stove more durable on this account. Immediately under tho fire-box there is a double plate, forming an air chamber, which Mi* • effect of preventing meats routing la the oven from burning at the upper surface, or cookiog irregularly, which is the fault of many other cooking stoves. The flues of tliis stove can be cleared of any obstructions by simply removing a plate in tho bottom of the oven—a process which, in cooking stoves generally, U exceed ingly difficult* .$0,877,555 30,470,351 But we must not conclude this notice without a brief allusion to Mr. Clark’s world-renowned Silver's Air tight Gas-burning Parlor Stove. The sale of these stores is of an Almost incredible extent. It will be borne in mind that this stove has been greatly improved by Mr. Clark's several important patent additions, of his own invention* among Which wo may name tire self-acting door, atad his ingenious how Patent Raker. Tlliß stovo has become so popular that, with &U Mr. Clark’s great facilities for manufacturing it, ho is scarcely able to keep a supply on hand. So complete, in fact, has been the success of this houso during the present season, that its proprietor remarked to the writer that he actually knew netting, from experience, about the tl hard times," and that If It were not for the newspapers ho would have nothing to remind him of the troubles which are now prostrating so many business establishments in this city, and throughout our country. 537,347*906 *...532,928,571 ..... 310,675 33,239,147 SlflffQß JiiJTZ performs this afternoon and evening at the Temple of Wonders, N» K» corner of Tenth and Choctnut, where ho intends introducing some of his moßt amusing feats in Magic, which, combined with the Ventriloquism, exceed anything of the kind ever attempted.
