The retirement of Gen. Scott, occurred on
Saturday. The resignation was accepted by
the'| Cabinet at a special meeting, 'and that
hodi, with the President, called upon the old
Geiyeral to inform him of their action, and to
express their sense of his great services.—
General' Scott replied briefly and with" deep
feeling. The command of the army has been
given to Gen. McClellan, who in his general br
derp, issued upon asssuming his new duties,
p-tyi a glowing tribute to hi* honored prede
cessor. It is not yet decided, or, if decided, it
is r|>t made known," who is to he the, successor
of 4e n - .McClellan. Gen. Ilalleck. now on his
waf hither from California, is confidently
nstied for his post.
Affairs nn the Potomac remain unchanged.—
Thp rtavagntibn of th|e river is still virtually,
closed, although a small vessel now and then
posies by the Rebel batteries. The ‘work on
ourf own batteries is! progressing finely, and
gmis are daily mounted ; the Rebels will per
bans soon hear of their being daily fired.
A negro who ha|s -Just come within' our
at Alexandria reports that 50,000 Rebels
are! at Centerville, and that Gen. Bonham’s
command is two miles beyond Fairfax.
Jt is stated.tbat the Great. Naval Expedition

the Potomac bt> that it whs impossible for Gen.

patient, and remember that 500,000 - men must
be armed, clothed and disciplined, before they
are prepared for battle; and to accomplish all
this requires time arid labor—and Ist them also
remember, that 20f1i,000 of our soldiers, have
crossed the Potomac, and are slowly but,surely

■ There was a grand review here last Satur
day, and another this fnrnoon. The one'Satur
day, was Gen. Smhh’s division, before McClel
lan, and the one to-day, was tboPa. R. C. V„
under McCall. That on Saturday, under Mc-
Clellan, was grand. There were 12,000onthe
field, and as they went their rounds, it was a
splendid sight. I stood upon an elevation where
I could look down upon them ns they .marched
by their young chieftain, and as regiment after
regiment passed with their bayonets glistening
in the sun-light, and band after band struck up
some old national air, I could see the eagle eyes
of'that noble hero sparkle with delight, which
spoke in language l< 0 plain'tabe misunderstood,
that it was|an army in whom he could risk the,
safety of our country.
Gen. McClellan is a man about 5 feet G inch
es in (light, weighing about 180 lbs. lie has
light, brown hair, with a heavy mustache, and
short whiskers under his chin. He is as 1
straight as; an Indian, well proportioned, with
and eye large and fiery. His motions are easy
and quick ; his head resembles very much, inj
shape, that of Napoieon—he is a man that
knows his own business. He rude w little iron
gray full of 1 Jife, and knew every motion of his
rider. He was dressed very plane, and wore a
long, green sash around his waist.
When the review was over, and the infantry,
artillery and cavalry had all gone to their diff
erent encampments, he smiled his approval;
then burying bis.spurs deep in the aides of his
fiery steed; he Went dashing from the field, fol
lowed by his Staff, and I went slowly back to,,
my little tent, with 1 a stronger determination
than ever to live and ' fight for my country, or
die in her cause. 1
The on* to-day, under Gen. McCall, was
also grand, but as I was in the ranks, I had not
the opportunity of seeing, that I had before.—
There were 15 regiments on the field—all well
dressed, well armed and equipped. I think they
are as well drilled ajS those of any other State,
and when they fight, they will fight to Win; or
,dio on the field.
There is to be what is called a grand review
to-morrow, before- McClellan, Scott and Old
Abe; I will give you that in my next. ;
One would tljink, to see the destruction of
property in thiVseetion of the country, that ' A
destroying flood- bad passed over the land ; bat
it is different from the one wbiclr lately passed
through oiir Northern valleys.; For them; af
ter has dried up, a little gold and
bard work, will make all right again ; butjicre
it is nut so, there will be ruined plantations,
and dsaolate homes, lonely grave-yards, and the
emfaaUiemenU of war, “long after its thunders
are hushed in peace."
I have frequently seen accounts of the scar
city of very many articles of food in the South,
but have often thought, that perhaps it wa* ex
aggerated, until experience-baa taught trie that
it is true. Our last tiip, one week ago, was
through a-cuuntry which showed a sad, deplor
able state iof affairs; Wo went farther into the
enemies’ land than any Northern army had
been, and all that tre saw, showed that the
‘huine hud been plundered to supply the wants
of a hungry army.' There was no salt, no tea,
no coffee, no meat, no candles, no matches, nor
flower to be found, i There was but very little
butter and corn-meal, for those who were left
behind. The only pars that still remain, are
those too old to walk—the lame and tie blind.
We traveled three days, and did nut see a young
man, during the whole time that was able to
carry a gun.' The most of the homes were de
serted, and the buildings fast going to destruc
tion.- Every thing looked melancholy and for
saken, and as we traveled from point to point,
I could And no language so appropriate to ex
press my thoughts, ns that which fell from' the
lips of one in whose veins curdled the dark
Etbiupean blood, when he said.
“Is this the land our fathers loved ?
The freedom which they toiled to win ?
Is this the earth whereon they moved ?
Are these the graves they slumber in ?

Editor or the Agitator—Dear Sir. —This
is one of (he finest Autumnal days that I have
seen for along time. The sun pours down its
genial rays, which Seems to give hew life to
everything around hs; but there is a cool breeze
stirring, that reminds us all of the coming win

I am sitting by a'hny-stack that is nearly fed
out, which the “Secesh” (through their kind
nos.-) left fur us, nhdT am surrounded by eve
rything that would animate the spirit of people
not accustomed to such scenes. On every side,
thousands of tents rear their white heads above
the surface of the earth, and in the center of
every group, the Stars and Stripes proudly float
in defiance of 4 the traitors,: that are not very
far distant ; while on three or four different el
evaliohs, is stationed the artillery, Commanded
by Col. Campbell, who is one of the bravest
men we have. Often he approaches some of
, the pieces, sights across them in the direction of
(he enemy, and then utters corses, because they
dare not come within reach of bis bull-dogs;
but this is not all—while we are surrounded
with implements of distraction, we are also sur><
rounded with scenes of pleasure. Yesterday,
there was a grand review' here, the bands

the Buck-tail Regiment is made up mostly of

beenjaccustomed to chasing'the deer, elk, bear;
pndiall kinds of nnimals that abound in the

hard crackers than any other regiment in the
service; but ns'for their fighting,Twill hot say
anything about that, but I hope that if they ev-,
err get into a fight will win a name that
will be an honor to the “Old Keystone State,”
and; to the “Banner i County,” also. We ni

After a protracted silence, I embrace the
present oppottnnity to write yon a few lines.
Knowing the,interest and solicitude; the peo
ple of Tioga take in the bold lads who did not
hesitate to shoulder the musket in defence of
their homes and firesides, word ,tp them from
the camp-fire, will not be oDWeJcorood. . -
I suppose you havi already been informed
that we have left Canjp Curtin, and are now in
tli,e great “Metropolis!” of the free States.
Speaking of Camp jCurtin, I have si word or
two to 'say of Capt. Tarbutton, and Lieut. Bad.
our drill-masters. Tb their -good treatment,
and kind attention, wte are much indebted, and
thankful for the same; Their instructions have
not been in vain, butltell nobly with the boy*.
Our bid friend, Mrj Jacob Hyatt of Harris
burg, has our sincere thanks, not only for his
kin 1 and fatherly con loot toward ns last spring,
but for the many fevers' bestowed upon us at
our recent arrival at Camp Curtin. A true pa
triot and benefactor of the soldiers, can- never
.be forgotten. Oneircidentl will here men
tion which occnred the night .before; we Ibft
Camp Curtin. In th-e afternoon at dress pa
rade, we received marching orders—the boys
were all in a humor for going to town, but is was
impossible fur them to‘get a pass. About half
past eight they gathered near the Guard House,
some sixty of the Charleston Rangers. In a
Jew moments, I saw coming what we all sup
posed to be the New Relief; on they came, re
lieving post after post, and in less time ihenjl
can write it, they cleared the fence and were
in full run for Harrisburg. “Sold by Thun
der 1” was the only ejaculation uttered by tits
amazed seot nel, as hej turned and watched them
leaving on “double quick,” after relieving some
dozen groen ones. They returned, 'however,
in 'the morning, with squalling chickens, and
the’r canteens filled with warm milk. 1
We are stationed ib Camp near and opposite
Bladensburg. Company G,, the Charleston
Eapgers, are all with!the exception of one or
two, enjoying good health and in excellent spir
its, and every day preparing themselves to try
their skill and couragie with the “Chivalry of
the. South," and the “deciples of Benedict Arh
old,” Tioga may well fell proud of ber repre
sentatives in the 45thj Regiment, under the su
perintendence of; a brave and skillful officer
like Col. Thomas Welch. ' ;
Captain Whitney, Rs may well be supposed,
is very highly esteemed by the boys, for the
easeful and just administration of his command.
Our first Lieut., 'Vi r illiam T. Fitzgerald, an
experienced soldier, fresh from the'battle-fields
of the “Sunny South,” is held in as high esti
mation by the Charleston Rangers, as ever Na
poleon was by his “Old Guards - ” He is also
well drilled in the exercise of the pen, as well
as of the sword. ;
Our Second Lieut.,l John J. Rees, is, as we
have always known him to be,, a free-hearted
and well-disposed son of “01d Tioga." In the
selection of commissioned' and non-enmmis
sioned officers, the'company is well satisfied. -

The election retort 8 (how that all over Penn

leaders of the Demieracy. Whereier there
was'a certainty or a reasonable pi aspect of a
