The lionoraigo &non Caaorran, Secretary of War
Ste more thigi thtdeliiiin I havelSeen
unable, from a knit, to mount a horse or walk
more than a few paces at a time, and that with
much pain. Other and new infirmaties—dropsy
and vertigo—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 protracted much beyond the usual space
of man. It is under such circumstances made
doubly painful by the unnatural and unjust re
bellion now raging in the southern - states of
our so late prosperous and happy Union, that
I am compelled to request that my name 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, lam entirely at liberty to say that
it is with deep regret that I withdraw myself
in , these momentous times from the order of a
President who has treated me with distinguished
kindness and 'courtesy, whom I know upon
much personal intercourse, to be patriotic, with
out sectional partialities or prejudices, .to be
highly conscientious in the performance of every
duty and of unrivalled activity and -persever
mice. And to you, Mr. Secretary, whom I now
officially address for the last time, I beg
to acknowledge my many obligations
for the uniform high conaiderationo I
have received at your hands and have the
honor to remain, sir, with high respect your
obedient servant, .
[Signed] Woman Soon.
A special Cabinet Council was convened on
Friday morning at nine o'clock, to take the
subject into consideration. It was decided that
Gen. Scott's request, wider the circumstances of
his advanced age and infinnititA, could not be
declined. Gen. McClellan was therefore, with
the unanimous agreemeni of the Cabinet, noti
fied that the command of the army would de
volve upon him. At four o'clock in the after
noon the Cabinet again waited upon the Presi
dent and attended him to the residence of Gen.
'On being seated the President read to the
General the'icillowing order
On the first, day of November, A. D., 1861,
upon his own application to the President of
the United States, Brevet - Lieut. General Win
field Scott is ordered to be• placed and hereby
is placed upon the list of retired officers of the
army of the United States without reduction in
his current pay, subsistence or allowances.
The American people willhear with sadness
and deep emotion that Gen. Scott has with
drawn from the active control of the army.
While the President and the unanimous Cabi
net express 'their own and the nation's sympa
thy in his personal affliction, and their profound
sense of the important publih services rendered
by him to his country during his long and bril
liant career, among which will ever be grate
fully distinguished his faithful devotion to
the Constitution, the Union and the flag when
assailed by a paricidal rebellion.

Gen. Scott thereupon rose and addressed the
President and Cabinet, who had also risen, as
follows :

and this Cabinet well. I know that the coun
try has placed its interests in this trying crisis
in safe keeping. Their counsels are wise, their
labors are untiring. As they are loyal and
their (*nose is the right one.
lir. President, you must excuse me. I am
unable to stand longer to give utterance to the
feelings of gratitude which oppress me. In my
retirement I shall offer up my prayers to God
for this administration and for my country.
I shall pray for it with confidence in its success
over its enemies and that speedily. ;
The.jytAllect then tookiaavoolf-fien't Soott
giving him his hard and saying he hoped soon
to - write him a private letter expressive of hip
gratitude and affection.
The President added : " General, you will
naturally feel solidtious aboutthe gentleman of
your staff who have rendered you and their
country such faithful service. I have. taken
that subject into consideration. I understand
that they go with you to New York. . I shall
desire them at their earliest convenience after
thakreturn to make their wishes known to
me. I desire you, however, babe satisfied that,
except the unavoidable privation of your coun
sel and society which they 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
his hand to the 'veteran and retired in profound
silence.
The Secretary of the Treasury and Secretary
of War will accompany Gen. Scott to New York
to-morrow by the early train.
The following is the response of the Secretary
of War to the letter of Gen. Scott ,
WAR Dmssmarr, t
Washisigkon, Nov. 1 , 1861. f
Gissastr, : It is my duty to lay before the
President your letter of yesterday asking to be
relieved under the recent act of Congress. In
separating from you I cannot refrain from
expressing my deep regret , that your
health, shattered by long service and
repeated wounds received in your coup-:
try's defence, should render it necessary
for you to retire from your high position , at this
momentous period of our, history. Although
you cannot remain in active service, I yet hope
that while I continue in charge of the depart,-
mints over which I now preside, I shall at all
times be permitted to avail myself of the bens-
Ate of your counsels and sage experience. It
has been my good. foqune to* enjoy a
personal acquaintance with you for over thirty
years, and the pleasant relations of that long
time have been greatly strengthened by yocr
cordial and entire co-operation in all the great
questions which have occupied the Department
and convulsed the country fos k the last six
months. In parting from you I can only
express the hopes that a merciful Providence
which has protected you amidst so many trials
will improve your health and continue your
life long atter the people of the country shall
have been restored to their former happiness
and prosperity.
I am, General, very sincerely, your friend
an servant.

To Geo. WIN/MILD Soon, present,
The steamer Resolute came up to the Navy
yard yesterday afternoon and went down to the
flotilla again in an hour or two. The Pusey
came up last night and leftthe yard again early
this morning. Both steamers report affairs un
changed down the river. The rebel steamer
Geo. Page is still cooped up in Quantico creek,
but has worked her way sufficiently far in to be
out of sight from the Maryland side.
The work on our batteries is progressing
finely and a number of guns and mortars have
been mounted.
A few oyster ;males 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 pounde of powder and an ele
vation of 45 degrees. A shell, not charged,
weighing 102 pounds, was projected to a dis
tance of 1,400 yeards ; the time of firing being
about 17 seconds. The firing demonstated that
considerable accuracy may be attained with the
old-fashioned mortars, and that at a distanCe of
from 1,000 yards to 2,500 yards, they are a
very effective weapon.
Information from the Congressional Investi
gating Committee, now in session at St. Louis,
states that Adjutant General Thomas has not
exaggerated the Fremont business.
The Treasury Department is about to issue a
notice for the redemption of the old twelve per
cent. two years's notes, issued by .the last ad
ministration.

To Captain George W. P. Davis.
Dear Chptain—l know that you are both a
pliant soldier and a courteous gentleman, and
therefore I address you thus publicly, to make
a request which I trust you will grant. The
tent you have erected in the capital grounds in
front of the Walnut and Third streetentance for
recruiting purposes, is a convenience which you
have a right to enjoy at the expense of the
state, but I submit to you, whether you think
it is right that it should be used at night by a
;twig of men and boys, who amuse themselves
'in beating drums to the annoyance of the neigh
bors and the danger of those who are compelled
Co ride or drive a horse in. that neighborhood.
I am certain that this constant drumming does
not secure you a• recruit, if it did, I would say,
"roll on your drums." I make these sugges
tions respectfully, and I believe that your own
good sense will see the necessity of abolishing
the nuisance.
The wife of a soldier makes this request.

The Conditionof Affairs in Meson=
The St. Louis papers of Tuesday contain sun
dry interesting items. Here is a statement of
the low of Fremont's body guard at Springfield :
`lt is now ascertained that the loss of Fre
mont's body guard in the brilliant charge at
Springfield was six to eight killed and some fif
teen to twenty wounded. A number of most
brilliant instances of daring were shown on our
side. One seargeant had three horses shot from
under him, and a rebel placed a pistol to Za
gonyle breast and was in-the very act of firing
when the Meier severed his arm from the shoul
der and laid him dead at the horses's feet."

was in Jasper county, and it is probable that
the two armies under Price and M'Culloch by
this time are united somewhere in the vicinity
of Carthage. Whether they will consider them
selves with their combined forces strong enough
to give ue battle, of course yet remains to be
seen. But be it as it may, it is probable that
an expected battle is by this retrogade
movement put some little way in the future.
The reports as to the strength of M'Culloch's
force are not positive, but it is generally sup
posed to be about 16,000. Price's effective force
is about 28,000.
The array of the latter is reported to be suf
fering severely from sickness, want of clothing
and shoes. It is said there are at least 2,000
men unable to bear arms on account of sick
ness, and that the entire force is greatly dis
couraged.
A
Thirteen negroes, all one family, had arrived
at a federal camp twelve miles from here. They
are the property of a rebel clergyman now in
Sterling Price's army, and are very anxious to
obtain their freedom, complaining bitterly of
bad treatment by their master.

Col. Devens' Account of the Lees
burg Battle.
The following letter from Col. Devene,of the
fifteenth Massachusetts regiment, was adressed
to A. H. Bullock, of Worcester, Massachusetts,
in reply to a letter making inquiry concerning
the wants of the regiment:
"Camp Emirs, Pootesroille, Ild.,
October 27, 1861. f
"Dear Sir:—l am exceedingly obliged to you
for your note of eympthy and encouragement,
received by Mr. Pratt. Although , the loss to
the regiment was perfectly terrible, my list of
killed, missing and wounded being three hun
dred and ten, while six hundred and twenty
five was the largest number I had during the
engagement, yet its courage was most nobly
brave and enduring. The battle was hopelessly
lost before Col. Baker was killed, yet the cool
manner in which the regiment, half an boar
after, marched over from the right of the line
to protect the left, would have won for it a
historic name if it had been done on one of the
battle fields of Europe.
"The men here lost almost everything in the
way of clothing and equipments, but I trust
that the government will make immediate pro
vision ; if it does not, I will.have no hesitation
i n a pp e aling to yourself and other patriotic ci
tizens to aid.
"The brave companions whom we hive lost
cannot be restored to us, but their number
m ay. The courage of the regiment is unshaken;
two nights ago, at an alarm, they turned out as
calmly as if nothing like this calamity had ever
happened, and the sick in the, hospitals would
be brought to the windows to see it march. It
brought its colors from the field, and be its
original members many or few, they will yet be
seen to wave high above the emblems of treason
and secession.
"Allow me to ask you to commmisiate this
note tohis honor the Mayor, to whom I tun
