HESIGNATIOTT OF GENBBAX.
SCOTT
Our readers read the correspondence I
between the President and Gefi, Scott I
upon the occasion of the lattef’s resig
nation as Lieutenant Generali of the
United Slateß. After tb'e'fecefdion of
the resignation by the President, he and
his entire Cabinet called upon the Gen
eral to bid him a final adieu. Hiss aids I
And others left the 'room where the in
temew was to'.tak place, but what did
,take place is known only to those who
participated in the scene; the President I
was the first to emerge from the apart-'
ment, his cheek suffused with tears.— 1
The occasion was a solemn one : the I
voluntary resignation of , the highest I
military trust in the Republic, paused by
the infirmities ot declining years. On
Saturday the war worn ■ vetfran left
Washington for his home in New York,
there, in the bosom of his family, to spend
the remainder of his days. He is worn
out in the service of his country, and,
after half a century's labor, the hero of
Lundy’s Lane and conqueror of Mexico
resigns his office for the sweets>of priva
cy; having lived down detraction, his
few remaining days will be free from the
dartß of malicious censure. The people
of New York—the millions of the Em
pire State, will receive the infirtn patriot
with united affection..
4 *Tbe old man broken.with the storms of 6tala,
Comes to lay bis weary bones among iyou,” *,
The correspondence between General
Scott and President Lincoln is,very
touching and alike honorable tp both.—.
The [ General says: j
“It is with deep regret that I (withdraw
myself, in these from the
orders of a President who has treated me
with distingnished kindness and courtesy
whom I know, upon much person a 1 inter
course, to be patriotic, without) Beclional:
partialities or prejudices ; to pe highly
conscientious in the performance df every
duty, and of universal activity and perse
verance,” - !
President Lincoln, in roply'tdthjß high
tribute to his patriotism .and; solicitude
for our distracted country,
says;
“The American people will thesr with
sadness and deep emotion that Scott
has Withdrawn irom the active Control of
the army. 'While the President and the
unanimous Cabinet express theit own and
the nation’s sympathy in his personal af
fliction, and their profound .sense of the
important public services rendjred by him
to his country during his JpJslpM and bril
liant Career, among which wifi ever be
gratefully distinguished his faitijful devo
tion to the Constitution,the Union and tho
flag, when assailed by a parricidal rebel
lion.”
We trust that the old man may live to
see t.hig parricidal rebellion crushed, and
when his eyes shall close for .thp last
time it will be upon our Union te united,
“one and inseparable.” , j
Gen. McClellan has now entire com
mand of our forces and if left topureuo;
the convictions of his'<o'jrn judgment,
there is little doubt but: that he will be
eminently successful, jfhe Tresident
and Cabinet appeartoihave every confi
dence in his abilityarfif they are unques
tionably able, by this time, to measure
not only his resources,but the magnitude
of the great wo: k which they have en
trusted to him. The alacrity and una
nimity of the Administration , in select
ing Gen.MeClellan to.be the veteran
Scott’s successor, shows Kow mischievous
and absurd were the thousand rumors
and statements from Washington, indi
cating a desire upon their part to sup
plant him. He has now an undivided
authority and the greatest incentive to
successful, exertion ever possessed by any
soldier of ! his years, Be has attained,
without labor and at a single bound,
what his predecessor spent fprty years
toaohieve. We hope that he may'prove
himself worthy of the tremendous trust
and not become dizzy by the eminence
he has so suddenly attained.

extensive election fraud which! was about
to be practiced on the people! of Phila-.

phia politicians for the Republican can

strength of a dispatch from the Colonel,
that at the late election ohljy seventy
votes were polled in. his regitneht, and
that these seventy were givenjforqaiidir

says: . !’, . I

THE 6T,yLAWItENCE HOTEL,

may at the time happen to be in the
City of Brotherly Love. We refer to the
St. Lawrence Hotel, on Chestnut streeti
near Eleventh, which has long been a
general reaprj l Jor, i Pittsburghers, owing
to the fact that the proprietor, Wm. S-
Campbell,' Esq'., Brtce kept a hotel here,
and so well as to make his house in the

Interview UMween our own and (he
, . • Enemy’s Pickets.
Tnc fact baa been previously noticed
. that some" of the pickets of the Miehi
,gaff Second Kegiment, stationed near
Munson’s Hill, exchanged a friendly
visit with the rebel pickets. Tho de
tails, in a private letter from a member
of the Seoond, who was on picket duty,
are interesting :
“Friday (several weeks ago) the reb
-1 els came out of their breastworks and
asked us what we were doiDg—if we
• wanted to shoot our own brothers l' We
told them we would not shoot at them
if they'would not shoot at us." 'They
then asked us to come over and see
, them, and six of us went to their picket
posts, leaving our guns behind. They
all laid down their arms and yrere very
friendly when they saw that we were
unarmed. They declared they would
not fight any more if they could avoid
it. We traded tobacco boxes with them
and oanteens. Some of the iboys cut
buttons off their coats and gave them
to the rebels, and they gave us some of
their buttons to sew on in place of ours.
“One of them walked part at the way
back with me and whispered in my ear,
when wb got out of hearing of the rest,
that he was no more of a rebel than I
was. lie said . that more than half of
the rebel troops would run away if they
could be sure that we would juso them
half as well as‘our otvn s'ddiers. He
then t&!<f me that if we saw spy signal
lights that night we could rndke an ad
vance on Fort Munson without resist-,
anoe. I went immediately 'to bead
and'informed? the 1 Captain of
what I had heard. He directed me to
keep a good watch for signal lights. I
went baok and told the scodts at my
post to keep watch there, an|d I orept
up to the enemy so that I oould see ev
ery move they made. Sure, enough,
iiaßout midnight they sentup three splen
did rockets, in quick succession, and I
heard them leave their posts. The next
morning, Lieut. Edgerly and three of
Upstarted out and crawled on our hands
' and. knees, to the Fort, which we found
empty."

In the Memoir of Joseph Basbridge,
published in London several years ago, is
the following strange incident;
“A surgeon in Gough Square had pur

who had been hung at Tyburn. j The ser

The American Befcelliou.
Since I last wrote I fiavia learned several 1
things which convince -ifiorh fully than
evor before that there is not the slightest
danger that the Fngliah government will
deviate from theatricfccstlino of poulrality
in regard to the whr in A&er|& The
government of Jeff. Davis may do what it
pleases, and expend as much money as it
can command—Which, X do believe, will
bo very great in amount —to subsidize and
corrupt certain presses in Paris and Lon
don, but it will not be able to induce the
British government to attempt to break
through the blockade of .the Southern
ports. It 13 but a day or two agp that 1
had a conversation with a member of the
House of Commons, who is intimately ac*
quaintod with .Lord Palmerston and Lord
John Russell (or Earl Russell, as he is now
befonnb’g to'm called) on this subject,
and l aesure yon that he scouted the- idea
that ; the ’British government has any
thought of interfering with our affairs:—
The same view of the matter was taken
by an English nobleman with whom I bad
the honor to ppend last Monday night.—
He assured mo not only that the [govern
ment has no such purpose, bat also that
the nation would not, in his opinion, per
mit it to make the attempt, if disposed to
do so.
The Blockade Uuestioned
[From ih© London Shipping i.s- *t.e, Oct. 19.]
The question now tor the consideration
of out government and tha-t of France Is,
bow loifflshall the present state of things
be suffered to continue? How long is mar
itime commerce to bo embarrassed to suit
thi views of the Cabinet of "Washington ?
If wo are to acquiesce in the capture and
confiscation of British ships and their car
goes, which commit no offence except that
they happen to enter a port contrary to
a proclamation of which they may not
have hoard, or, if they did, which was un
supported by tho presence of any armed
forco—if porta like Charleston, ‘Wilming
ton and Beaufort aro to be under blockade
and not under blockade at the same time,
and at tbo caprice oi the federal govern
ment, or of those who do their bidding,
England may 1 as well at once reverse her
policy, and acknowledge once more the
validity of paper blockades.
Designs of European Powers on Mexico*
From the London Post, u»overnmenl organ) Oct. 9.
We believe we may slate that, Kubjectlo
tho of the convention between Eng*
land, France and fcipain, which is likely to
be concluded in tho course of a few days,
tho expedition which is about to be dis
patched to Mexico will consifet of three
squadrons, respectively furnished by the
ontracting parties. It is understood lhat
for the purpose of affording immediate and
ofliciont protection to tho lives and prop
erties of foreigners resident in Mexico her
Catholic Mnj sly and the Kmperor of the
French have determined also to dUpalch a
military forco consisting of aix thousand
meD, of which five thouebnd will be con*
tributed by Hpain and one thousand by
France.
No one can doubt that the course which
her Majesty’s government i 8 thus about to
pursue will bo in Hlrict conformity with
tho principles of public law. It is well
known as a matter of history that a load
ing ground ot the war between Lhe United
Stales and Mexico, in 18ii« was the non
payment of debts duo by Mexico to Amer
ican cidzens,and that after a comparatively
irglorious struggle she was compelled to
cede tho magnificent provinco of California
and other valuable territory to tho United
States,
Prince Napoleon Believes the Uuloi
Broken.
1 was not mistakon in the information 1
gave you in my last, as to the favorable
ropert Prinoe Napoleon had given to the
Emperor of what he conceived to be the
chances of success of the South. Tho iict
is now. notorious, and the language he has
hold to inoro than one of tho Ministers here
makes it evident that, in his belief, tho
Union is broken forever. It is easy to see
that the government journals have become
more Soulborn in their views since his re
turn. The CkmstUtili<ynnrl of this morn
ing insorts a iulUif from ilanassrs, flatly
contradicting all that has been said about
scarcity of food or difficulties of any sort
among the rebels.
Wo are all watching with the most in
tonso interest your military movements,
and wbatevor may bo the viows of tho
government. 1 a:n now mure than over sat
isfleo that all popular feeling is on Uin side
of the Union, l’rinco Napoleon told his
cousin that he did not believe—
1. In the power of tho federal army to
garn'Bfly important victory over that of
the confederation.
2. That, admitting tho possibility of the
laot, It would on the morrow of victory be
as far off its object as before.
3. That the whole Union, as comprised
by the North, was a rope of sand. He gave
h s voico in an okrly recognition of the
South. I havo not the slightest hesitation
in stating this, os 1 am sure my Informa
tion is authentic.
Tho government is very unoasy about
the harvest returns, and again and again
assurances are put forth by its snmiiofficial
organs that no effort shall be wanting to
lower the present price of bread, It is its
apprehensions on this head that renders it
so anxious about the cotton supply, the
assurance of which it sees only in a roco--
nition of the rebel States. A complete
understanding exists between Ungland and
Franco on the subject, and any disaster to
the Union army will be followod inßtanter
by an acknowledgment of the South. Nay.
I am by no means Bure that oven a victory
and roulo under the auspices of General
McClellan would alter the mattor.
The JUrleans I’rinoes have caused a great
oufcry’in'Europe. The English proas can
nos£ forgive them for siding with the
Northern 'Stater in the present struggle.
Such an exampio, it is felt, will have a great
moral effect on all Europe ; and the secret,
tho underhanded, the vile enemies of our
glorious country spit out their venom at
'those noble Princes those unfortunate
young men, deserving of praise and com
mendation, instead of the abuse that is
showered upon thorn. The London P oat,
the organ ot Lord Palmerston and organ
of M. de Persigny also, has had its fling at
them.
How to Get Along.’
"We have some suggestions to offer, which
will enable our readers to get through life
in the most easy manner. If a bee has the
audacity to sheathe its ating in your cuti

instantly upset tho hive wherein the
offender has his headquarters, and. extermi

in the calf of tho leg, Btorn justice demands
that you should bito the dog in the calf of

Leesburg, Oct. 22, 1861. * * *
You do not know what we have passed
through since yesterday —a fearful
battle, more stubborn than that of Mai
nassas, the soldiers say, though, of
course, not so extended. - Our men.
fought most bravely. I felt, perfectly
convinced that we could repel them,
until about four o’olook, when a wound
ed soldier arrived, and reported that
our army was whipped,* and that the
Bth Virginia Regiment was, out to pie
ces. Oh, what a terrible hour we then
spent! About five o’clook there came
in news that we had gained the advant
age, and soon the cheers of . victory
shouted in our ears; and though the
dead and wounded were coining in, and
though we knew the sorrow that would
be shed abroad, yet our hearts went up
n thankfulness to God who giveth the
victory. .
It was a glorious victory, gloriously
won. Many a noblo spirit was sacri
ficed on onr part; but we aro the con
querros ! We have about five hundred
prisoners. Their loss in killed, wounded
and prisoners is at least one thous
and.
Our court-house was full of Yankee
prisoners last night, who were sent off
at four o’clock this morning, and it is
now full again. They do not think the
attaok will be renewed again to-day, as
thei rioss is so heavy.
We did not fire a pieoe of artillery,
owing to the thicket on the Leesburg
side of the battle ground, by Jackson'si
house.
It really was an awful battle. We
saw the first of it from our garret win

late hour yesterday. As yet the river
is not cfiectually closed against small
craft, but the vigilant eyes of onr watch
ful men never permit anything to pass
without letting them understand that
“we are about.” At first the “small
fry” passed, but the practice of our
gunners is giving them much more
proficiency. On Satuiday, two schoon
ers, towed by a tug, came along, but
were no sooner in sight than our bat
teries opened on them. At the same
time, Col. Wigfall of Texas, aided by
Captain Martin and Lieutenant Car
rington, with others, went out in a
boat to make oapture, Ac. * * *
The tug, with tho two sohoonera, not
relishing the shots, litterally flew up
