Learnitli t skt the old veter 'lh7trienagirio t.t.e'bis leave in the morning, President Felton, of the Philadelphia railroad, sent forward his splendid private carfor the use of himself and suite, and before day , light it was in readiness for him, at the Baltimore depot. At four o'clock General Scott left his residence in a carriage aqcompanied by his staff— . Cols. anflom, Van Rensselaer, Wright, and Townsend—and proceeded to the depot. A drenching rain was falling at the time,-and this fact prevented :General McClellan .and staff, with an - •scort of cavalry, from accompany ing him on the route. A numerous assemblage, in view of the hour and ;unpropitious state of the weather, had gathered at the depot, among whom were nearly a dozen ladies.— As the-General alighted, be was re ceived -by Secretaries Cameron and Chase, _Assistant Secretary Scott, Governor Sprague, Senator Harris, Adjutant General Thomas, and other distinguished citizens. He seated himself •in the room at the depot., and soon General McClellan and stall ar- rived. 'General McClellan, at the head. of staff, proceeded to an inner room •occupied by General Scott, and "re moving his hat from his head, bowed before the veteran chief whom he 14as just succeeded. General Scott, -sitting, from inability to rise, extend ed his hand to his successor, and talked for some minutes with hands clasped. In this position, General 'Scott, drawing McClellan nearer to said:--"General, do not allow yourself to be embarrassed by men who do not comprehend this great question. Carry out your own ideas, act upon your own judgment, and you will conquer, and the govern ment will be vindicated. God bless you." The young chieftain's only reply was:—"l thank you, General, and will not forget your counsel.— May you be restored to health and live to see your prophecy fulfilled.- - God be with you. Farewell." A deep silence pervaded the place where this was transpiring. When the conversation ended, Gen Scott shook hands and bade farewell to each of his Meads assembled, and was conveyed to the car. At five o'clock the locomotive whistle announced the departure of the train, and in a moment it was out of sight. General Scott was accompanied by Secretkr es Chase and Cameron, Adjt. Gen. Thomas, and the members of his staff, except Col. Townsend, and his Assistant Adjutant General, who re main to close up the business of the offiee, and Col. Hamilton, who left on Saturday to prepare for the General's reception in New York. The train • went by the Harrisburg route, to avoid a° trouble of being transferred from one train to another. A brief account of the veteran's arrival and reception at Harrisburg will be found in our local columns.— The General proceeded from Harris - harg to Elizabeth, N.J., where it was given out that he intended staying some time. But he appears to have . changed his mind, for he took a late train of cars from Elizabeth and ar rived with his staff on Saturday evening, about 6 p. m. To those who were present to welcome him, General Scott gave a cordial grasp of the hand and a hearty benediction, expressing a wish, however, that no attempt at a reception should be • inade. When the crowd about the cars cheered him, he said, good na turedly, "Oh, go home, friends, and don't make a noise." He was assist ed to his carriage, and was driven to the Brevoort House, where arrange ments had been so quietly made for him that his arrival and presence there were not known even to his family, Owing -to the fact of his arrival not being known to any but the gen tlemen that accompanied him and the members of his family, but few visit ors called on the veteran General on Sunday. He remained indoors dur ing the whole day, engaged in con versation with the members of his staff and the few visitors who called on him, among whom was General Sanford. General Scott will remain at the Brevoort House for a short time, until he shall have decided on a suitable place for his future resi .denee. Important Order from General McClellan. Major Gen. McClellan to-night is sued the following order : GENERAL ORDER-NO. 19 HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY, WASHINGTOH, NOV. 1, 1861. In. accordance with the General Order No. 94, from the War depart ment, I hereby assume co mma nd o f the armies of the United States. In the midst of the difficulties which encompass and divide the na tion, hesitation and self-distrust may well accompany the assumption of so vast a responsibility; but confiding as I do in the loyalty, discipline and courage of our troops, and believing as I do that Providence will favor ours as the just cause, I cannot doubt that success will crown our efforts and sacrifices. • TM, army will unite with me in the'fiaeliag of regretfthat the weight pf many y ea rs, sod the effect of in creasing infirmities, contracted , ~and intensified in his country's service, tat snivel at New ew with General Gen. McClellan's '2oword--"The War cannot The presentation of a sword to General McClellan by a Committee of the Philadelphia Council, was the event .of Washington on Saturday night. The ceremony took place at the General's house, where an ele gant collation was provided. About fifty gentlemen, including Secretary Welles ' was present. The sword is a very beautiful and costly one. The scabbard is of solid silver, heavily coated with gold, and mounted with the arms of the city of Philadelphia and the State of Pennsylvania, heav ily worked in gold. The hilt is solid silver, but laid in a gold electrotype bath tbr 16 days, and has the appear ance of solid gold. It is surmounted with a solid gold eagle, forming the head. The grip of the hilt is adorn ed with thirty-four pearls, interwo ven with thirteen diamonds, the first representing the number of States in the whole Union, the latter the old original thirteen States. Outside the guard are the letters G. B. M'C., the initials of the General. Mr. Ben ton, on behalf of the city of Phila delphia, addressed Gen. McClellan in a very neat and graceful speech, and then taking the sword he handed it to Gen. McClellan. Gen. McClellan responded as follows: "I ask you, sir, to give my warmest and deepest thanks to the honorable body you represent for this entirely unmerited compliment. I could thank you better if I thought I deserved it; but Ido not feel that I do. Nothing that I have yet accomplished would warrant this high compliment. It is for the future to decide whether I shall realize the expectations and hopes that have been centred in me. I I trust and feel that the day is not far distant when I shall return to the place dearest of all others to me, there to spend the balance of my days among the people trom whom I have ' received this beautiful gift. The ?car cannot last long ; it may be desperate. I ask in the future forbearance. pa tience and confidence. With these we can accomplish all, and while I know that in the great drama which may have our heart's blood, that Pennsylvania will not play the least, I trust, that, on the other hand, she will play the highest and noblest part. I again thank you, and ask you to convey to the Councils my most sin cere thanks for the sword. Say to them that it will be my ambition to deserve it hereafter. 1 know Ido not now." The General's speech is said to have been received with great approba tion. His words, "the war cannot last long it may be desperate," are welcomed everywhere, and are in dicative of vigorous and decisive work. It is now partially denied in Washington that the General medi tates going into winter quarters, but everything indicates vigorous work ahead. A dispatch to the Philadel phia Press states that Gen. McClellan has, through means not made public, informed himself very minutely of the movements of the enemy, the number and strength of their batter ies at and in the vicinity of Manassas Junction, the number of guns they have mounted, and the strength of their army. He is guided in his ope rations by a full knowledge of all their important movements. Further Particulars of the Springfield fight. General Fremont and staff arrived here yesterday, and the Benton Ca dets, Col. Carr's Cavalry, Major Hol man's sharpshooters and Gem Siegel's command, at different periods during the same day. Our troops were re ceived with delight—the stars and stripes being displayed at the win dows, houses, &c., and men, women and children waving handkerchiefs from almost every door on the way. Major White, of the Prairie Scouts, whose command started with Major Zagoni for Springfield, had been quite ill, and was captured by the rebels while riding in a buggy, and after the fight was taken several miles out of town by a guard of twenty rebels, but was rescued by a party of the Greene vo. home guards and is now here; • • ' " • last Long.

It is known that a resignation of a commander of a Department arrived on Thursday, which was unsigned. From Missouri SPRINGFIELD, Nov. 4.—Our scouts bring us this morning definite infor mation that Price has left Sarcoxie and has moved via Neosho towards Caseville. Barry county. Opinions differ as to whether he will march North of that point on Springfield or continue - his retreat into Arkansas. A body of rebel cavalry was seen twenty-five miles south of here last night by a reconnoitering party. liens. Pope and McKinstry should be here to-day. Gen. Hunter is on the Pomme de Terre, ten miles south of the Osage. waiting for rations. The Fleet Arrived at Bull's Bay—Oharles- ton to be Attacked. It will be seen by important des patches direct from Old Point, that the great Naval Expedition has probably landed on the coast of South Carolina, preparatory, we have now no doubt whatever, to an attack on Charleston. This is a very bold and perilous undertaking. and to be at all successful the attack would have apparently to be made almost immediately. Bull's Bay. or the har bor where our fleet are now riding at anchor. and on whose coast our troops are safely landed. is about twenty five miles North of Charleston harbor. and probably about thirty miles from Charleston overland. Itlies between Bull's Island and Raccoon Key, and the bar at its mouth has at low water full two fathoms, or twelve feet. To the cast and north stretches a large swamp with the significant name of Hell Hole. The land south of this swamp, and between our army and Charleston is level with but few natu ral defences for the enemy to conceal themselves. The Washington Chron icle of Sunday states that it was ru mored at Old Point that Bull's Bay and Charleston was the destination of the fleet, and says: According to rumor, the fleet will land the greater portion of the troops at Bull Bay, distant thirty miles from Charleston. The army will then march on to Charleston, and if op posed by the enemy the city will be shelled by the land force while the fleet engages Forts Moultrie and and Sumter. Should Charleston be the destination of the fleet. the expe dition has reached it ere this, and until further intelligence can be re ceived, great anxiety will be mani fested to hear from it. Should the greater portion of the expedition land at Bull Bay but little difficulty wotild be experienced in reaching a point near Charleston unless the reb els appeared in overwhelming num bers. If, as is probable, the object of our Southern army be to capture Charles ton, it will be admitted by all that it will have to be done immediately to have any chance of success. For that city must have now within its limits, (in expectation of this attack,) from eight to ten thousand fighting men. Besides, it is the centre of a network of railroads, extending throughout all the confederate Sta tes, and an army of from sixty to a hundred thousand men could be as sembled there for its protection, or for assault upon General Sherman, within twenty days. It has direct railroad connections with Savannah. which is another railroad centre : with Augusta, and Atlanta, both cen tres, and with Richmond, Norfolk, and all the North Carolina cities, by several roads. We presume the de sign must be to make the attack on Charleston immediately. Should that be successful, it would be easy to maintain ourselves there until pow erfully reinforced from the North, and then, if pressed too hard, and forced to retreat, it would be com paratively easy to retire by water, since the capture of the city would, of course, involve that of all its forts, and a fbrced retreat would also in volve the destruction of that city, whose people have been the cause of this war. It would be useless to conceal from ourselves or -our readers that our little army has a very difficult and hazardous programme before it: It is environed by great and numerous dangers., but we trust that every thing has been forseen; that a well studied plan has been agreed upon, and that Charleston may be in our possession, even if it should be_ but for a week. For, if obliged to give it up, it ought to be razed to the ground and sown with salt. Charles ton is the very spot which'the whole nation would like to see most severe ly punished, ,but to accomplish it, or even to hold a position on the coast, speedy and very powerful reinforce ments will be needed. It is about as cheap, if not • cheaper, to winter our armrin . Carolina, with the sea oommuniestions open, than to winter it at Washington City with the Po tomac closed by ice or rebel cannon. Gen.

JOHN C. FREMONT, Major General IL S. A The feeling ran intensely high dur ing the whole of the evening, and there were meetings almost every where. Tlie various bands serena ded the General, and wherever he ap peared he was greeted with cheers. Though after notifying Gen. Hunter, as his order directed, he had no longer command over the troops, he spent several hours in making per sonal examination of the ground about the city, to be prepared for battle, and in accordance with a writ ten request from all the Brigadier Generals in Springfield,, he remained through the night to lead the army in case of an attack. All the troops slept on their arms. Many officers remained up all night, and an attack was hourly expected, but nothing more occurred than the firing on our pickets on two different roads. The enemy are now encamped on the old Wilson Creek battle ground. Dis patches state that universal gloom prevails throughout the camps. A battle is undoubtedly expected to occur ere long. The troops will meet the enemy firmly, but they are disheartened and have lost their en thusiasm. The body guard, who could not have been induced to re main, and who will now disband, as the terms of -their enlistment pen accompany General Fremont and entire staff, including General Asb commander of the - .First Division General Fremont would permit demonstration from the troops on departure.

Frem, with his staff and body guard, lef St. Louis ou the 31st, and was ex ed to arrive there to-day. The Fremont Body Guard. Was composed, says the St. I:, Republican, of men just fit for likely to engage in such a combat that which has been announced. Originally this Body Guard was posed of three hundred picked ni and better ones never went int' battle. Commanded by a Hui rian who has seen much service, company of a hundred was comp almost entirely of Kentuckians, the others made up of Missouri; German naturalized citizens others. They were, as we have picked men. The horses—bloodet bays—were in keeping with the men. But their armament, if we may so speak, was better still. Each man had with him two of Colt's six barrel navy revolvers, one five barrel rifle and a sabre They, could shoot these seventeen times without stop ping to load, and then resort to the sabre to finish up their work. Is it surprising that, thus armed, they created a panic among the badly armed troops opposed to them, and that a rout ensued ? Skirmish Near Leavenworth City, Kansas, LEAVENWORTH, Nov. 4.—A skir mish took place yesterday about six miles of this place, between a small force of militia under Maj. Josephs and 150 rebels: The rebels were scat tered with a small loss. A battalion of the Kansas 2d were collected in MMIM this city, and held in readiness to march to the relief of Josephs, but Were not required" This regiment `is 'being moriniigd.• V'ortionc of 'lan county, Kansas, have recently been pillaged by marauding parties from Missouri. The Expedition Against Jeff. Thompson. Major Wood of the First Indiana Cavalry, is in Indianopolis from Mis souri. He says that Major Gavitt had started 'home, and that after he had ridden five miles, heard that . an attack on Jeff Thompson had been determined upon. Whereupon he immediately returned to the regi ment and was shot in an hour after ward. The Major says they follow ed the rebels about eight miles, but could not overtake them. The day following, they buried three hundred and sixteen rebels. Most of them were shot in the head or cut with sa bres. They also took about twenty wounded prisoners, who are now in the hospitals at Pilot Knob. Col. Baker rode at the head of his regi ment in advance of Maj. Gavitt.— The engagement lasted about four hours. There were five Colonels but no Brigadier General on the field, each Colonel fought on his own hook. Had the attack been proper ly managed, the whole rebel force could have been captured. Forty-four Pbebele Captured. Captain Foote sends the following official dispatch, dated St. Louis, Oct. 30, to the Secretary of the Navy:— Sir—The Conestoga, Lieut. Com- manding Phelps, has again been up the Tennessee river as far as Eddys ville, sixty two miles distant from Paducah, with three companies of the Illinois regiment. under command of Major Phillips. and conjointly they have had a handsome and suc cessful skirmish, in which the rebels broke and fled in every direction. leaving seven dead on the field. Our casualties consist of two severely wounded and a few slightly so— among them a captain of a company. Forty-fbur prisoners were taken from the enemy ; also. seven negroes and thirty-one horses, eleven mules, two transportation wagons, a large number of saddles, muskets, rifles. shotguns, sabres. knives. &c. Lieut Commanding Phelps, and the officers and crew of time Conestoga. as well as Major Phillips and his men. are deserving of the highest credit for their bearing in this expedition. The Opposing Forces in Missouri A ltolla correspondent of the Philadel phia Bulletin writes as follows on October 2fith :—A member of my company ar rived yesterday direct from the camp of General Fremont. He reports that there are now at chat point—Bolivar—about thirty-seven thousand men, all well armed and in good condition. Price and Mc- Culloch have concentrated their forces at Carthage, where they will have to make a stand, as their retreat is now cut off; Siegel, Totten and Sturgis being South of Springfield, Lane and Montgomery to the West of it, and General Hunter to the Northeast of them, the aggregate of the Union troops being about 130,000 effective men ; while to oppose this vast force there are but from 35,000 to 50,000, the rebels say 90,000. At all events they are poor ly armed, about half starved and misera bly clothed. We now have between seven ty and eighty prisoners working for the public good ou fortifications. They were captured at Linn creek, and brought in about ten days ago. More miserable specimens of the human race I have sel dom seen. They were all dressed in rag ged home spun, which accorded well with their arms, which were shot guns and old rifles. Their captain that accompained them was rather an intelligent looking The General Hospital Burned Down. WASHINGTON, November 4.—At one o'clock this morning a fire broke I ' out in the lower story of the general Hospital, on Judiciary Square, orig inating from a furnace. The com bustible parts of the main building and of the right wing, together with the roofs, were destroyed. When , the flames were first discovered hur ried preparations were made for the removal of the sick and wounded soldiers, about fifty in number. This was effected in good order and with safety to the patients, who are now comfortably cared for in the neigh boring City Hall and other buildings in the immediate vicinity. Most of , the chamber furniture was saved.— "The antiquated and insufficient city fire apparatus prevented the entire dOstruetion of the Hospital. The employment of a steam apparatus teaillie 'a public necessity. For tuna telf thirty of the patients were On Thursday removed to Annapolis. Important About the Expedition. . We are yet without any further evidence than the assertions of the officers of the Monticello, erroneously written Savannah in an article yesterday, that the naval ex pedition has gone into Bull Bay, with the ulterior intention of attacking Charleston. Indeed, we believe and hope that it has not been sent there, since we gee that it was expected in the South to land on the Carolina coast, and that preparations were being made to receive it, and since we have reason to believe that the expedition is by no means so powerful as it has been represented. A Richmond paper of late date says: The Peninsular reinforce ments ordered to General Magruder have been countermanded, it being now known that th e nava l expedition is designed to operate on the tairolina coast." Again, the Washing ton Republican of Monday says:—"We have good reasons for believing that the accounts in the New York papers greatly exaggerated the magnitude of the expedi tion which left Hampton Roads last week. The number of ships is not more than half of what. has been represented, and we doubt if the number of Soldiers taken on board exceeded fifteen thousand. If we are correct in this, no attack can be in tended upon New Orleans, or any other place capable of a strong resistance, but only such a lodgment upon some part of the Southern coast as may be made the base of future operations." Federal Losses at Leesburg. ('ol. Hink's report of the Leesburg battle. just published, creates some excitement in Washington. His es timate of our loss, over nine hundred men. is greater than the War De partment has acknowledged at any time, but officers who were engaged in the battle, and understood all the facts, assert that Col. Hink's esti mate is under rather than over the mark. It also appears that the troops tinder Col. Baker were thrown into a temporary panic by the death of their leader and the ambush into which they were led, and retreated precipitately towards the river.— This, says the Post's correspondent, agrees perfectly with facts long ago in the hands of newspaper men, but which were withheld from publica tion for fear that the government would eomplain. So far as the con duct of the government is concerned in the temporary suppression of the facts of the affair. it seems that at the very outset the President awl Cabinet and our leading military men were fully acquainted with the worst facts. but as they came by telegraph and were gathered in a moment of excitement they were not credited. It was therefore not so much because the government wished to conceal the facts from the people that the or der was given prohibiting the trans mission by telegraph, as it was that the government did not believe the statements made by the officers at Edward's Ferry to be true. The official reports which arc coming rapidly in will show that the wildest reports were scarcely exaggerations. Southern News about Ball's Bluff—Cols Lee and Qogswell Safe. The Memphis Appeal. of the 26th ult., contains the fidlowing dispatch es in reference to the battle and the disposition of the prisoners ;—Ricti moNn, Oct. 24.—Five hundred and fifty-two prisoners arrived this morn ing from Leesburg battle. Among them are Colonel W. R. Lee, of the Twentieth Massachusetts regiment ; Colonel Cogswell, Twelfth N.

Men never fought with more daring chivalry. No oti-i -d information has been received of occupation of Leesburg by the !derals. Gentlemen who left there four o'clock Wednesday afternoon .eny the statement. In official cir cles the Federal occupation of Lees burg is regarded as very probable, even thoug not yet accomplished. Several gentlemen who were en gaged in, and witnesses of the battle near Leesburg, on Monday last, say the rout was complete—that the panic exceeded that of Manassas plains. When they took to the river, their heads appeared almost as thick as blackbirds. It is impossidle to describe the scene or estimate the number drowned. Hundreds were shot while swimming and strug gling in the water. Many left their clothing of all kinds, and they drowned each other. Most of, our wounded are expected here to-mor row. The Federal prisoners are ex pected to-day. A son of Governor Pettus, of Mississippi, was among our killed. Capt . . .Bnit, of the 18th Mississippi, was 'badly wounded.

If the liver is diseased it cannot purify the hl I. and if that is sent back through the lungs, brain and other parts in a morbid condition, it must cause jaundice, biliousness, obstruction of the kidneys. gravel and many other complaints, more or less painful and dangerous, but the least of them quite enough to make a Male suck and uncomfortable, and unfit for the performance of any of the duties of life. This unhealthy state of the system very often ends i■ pulmonary consu mption. The circulation of the blood is conducted in this manner: The heart sends the vital current down thro' the arteries, it passes through the flesh, taking up all impurities in its progress, then the stream of blood flows backward through the veins and Names to the liver to be purified. It is impossible to cure consump tion, scrofula, scarcely any oilier kind of ulceration, while that Loportant organ, the Liver, is diseased. It is far that reason that regular physicians rarely cure consumption. They usually begin their treatment with the use of some cough medicine, the base of which is morphia or opium in some shape, which locks up the liver. instead of relaxing the secretions, giving a tone to the Stolll3i'il, at. cl producing x healthy low of bile. DR. tiCIIENCK•S rULMONW SYRUP, Seaweed 'rank and Mandrake Pills, Will strengthen the systetn, purify the blood, and ripest and heal ulcers on the lunge. in tunerculous consumption, where the stomach and liver is gene. ally in a tolerably healthy condition, the Pubonnie Syrup alone will root out all impurities of the blood, and restore the patient to health, if the cavities in the longs are not too deep. But where con sumption originates, as two-fhirds of the cases do in this section of the country, sympathising from a torpid liver or disordered - stomach. it requires the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, in connection, to bring them in action- -then the Pulmonic Syrup seems to go or dissolve into the blood, and thus throw out all im purities; then consumption and scrofulous diseases must yield to those medicines if properly taken. They have cured thousands, and other thousands are now being cured by them. SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE ('ILLS arc doing more to regulate the stomach and liver than any other medicine invented. Thousands are 'isnot them now, in this city and elsewhere, and every one is astonished at their" good effects. When the diseased state of any part of the body requires purgatives, these Pills always reach the seat of the disease. They are as harmless as bread, but far more powerful than ealotnel or any other mineral poison in their curative etft cis. Almost every day some person, who has been cured by them, comes to Dr: Schenck' office and relates the wonders they have performed. From some persons they have expelled large worms; from ,iiiters morbid matter, and from others again, clear bile. WONDERFUL CURES In certain eases, tiers:me who had been ill for a long time with diseased liver—skin shallow, tongue coated, bowels costive, breath offensive, &r., were restored to health and the perfect enjoyment of lite, by the use of this medicine. Some who were thus relieved had be come so dull, drowsy, or lethargic that they scarcely had energy enough to move hand or foot. In such cases, the ailment is often caused by worsts. By using SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS. the stale bile and corrupt inatter which constitute what are called tl.e "worms' beds" are worked 41,aad the worms themselves pass off with them. Sbme weeks ago a lady told Dr S'chenck that she had taken the Ihlls f.mr liver complaint, but to her surprise, the medi cine brought away several worms, each about ton inches in length. An old gentleman, of Baltimore, who had been in a wretched condition for a long time took the SEA WEED TONIC and MANDRAKE PILLS, after which he passed thousands of small worms (ascarides,) and he is now perfectly well. A lady caine . to Dr. Schenck at the Marlborough Ito tel. Boston; she was supposed by her physicians to he afflicted with tape worm. She had severe pains and sensation of something moving and twisting inside of her. These feelings. at times, almost threw her into convulsions. It would creep up into her throat and appear to bite; the only way to quiet it was to drink milk, when it would settle down and go to sleep. She would nave to take a quart to bed with her every night Mr that purpose. She was vary costive, skin yellow, and dried up to a mere shadow. Dr. Schenck gave her four at A N DRAKE PILLS every night fora week, and the SEA-WEED TONIC according to the dine. Dons, which only moved the bowels slightly once a day, and which in ordinary persons would have phy sicked severely; but it sickened the animal, and she (Mind she did not crave any ,more milk. At the end or a week Dr. S. gave her a double dose, say eight or ten Mandrake Pills, and soon after she pealed a large quantity of mucus and slime, in which was im bedded a large lizard. Front this time she began to recover, and is now perfectly well. This shows what can be done with proper medicine and proper treat ment. Any person that imagines that they have got tape-worm, or any other kind of worm, if they will take sufficient Mandrake Pills every day for a week or ten days to relax the secretion, hut not to purge, then take a dose large enough to physic severely, it willcar ry off* all morbid matter in the system, and if nothing of the kind should be there, it will cleanse the system, and leave the patient in A healthy condition.
