MeClellan was notified that the command of the army devolved upon bim, on the retirement of Gen. Scott. Whether be isto be placed in chief command of all the Federal forces, or of the army of the Potomac only, we are not informed. Practically he has been in command of the forces in the neighborhood of Washington, for the past three months, and that is as much as any man can well attend to, how ever great his abilities. The public place great confidence in McClellan’s militury talents; and it must be admitted that he bas thus far proved himself equal to every position assigeed to him. But to commaod upon the battle field an army of 100, 000 or 200,000 men, to intelligently direct, amid the smoke and carnage, the movements of the different divisions, to have the proper forces in the right place and at the right time, requires the very highest kind of intellect, such asthe world has seen only atrare intervals. We have as much confidence in McClellan as we possibly can bave inany man who is untried ; but until bis abilities are fairly tested, we shall bave doubts as to bis being the great military genius thatis now required to command the armies of the Republic. Tax Transcript, finding itself cornered in its assertions of Republican liberality starts out on a new tack, and endeavors to show that Republicans are as liberal as Democrats, and endeavors to make some capital from the fact that the late Democratic candidate for Recorder proved to be a rascal. There was no question that we are aware of about Demooratio liberality; the party is an old one, and never pretended to that species of liberality that elects its political opponents to offices. In fact, it is one of the cardinal principles of the Democracy to eleet their own candidates if they can, As to the instance referred to, of the late Publie Administrator, it is sufficient to remind the Transcript man that there are black sheep in every flock, and he can find some in bis own party if he will investigate the accounts of Thompson’s predecesors. Gex. Scorr.—The public has learned with sorrow that Gen. Scott, in consequence of his great age and bodily infirmities, bas been compelled to retire from active ser. vice, By bis letter to the Secretary of War, and his remarks to the President, his health is mueh worse than has generally been supposed, and his retirement was evidently necessary. His mind still retains its aecustomed vigor, and were he able to take commandof the army in person, we should have more confidence in bis ability than in that of any or all of the new generals appointed since the commencment of hostilities. Gen. Scott entered the army in 1808 as a captain, and regularly rose in rank until 1841, when, on the death of Gen. Macomb, he was advanced to the cbief command of the army.

Such paragraphs as the above have done and are doing more to prevent the filliag up of the California regiments than the Express and all its supporters can do. The writer knows fall well that there is not one particle of sympathy between Union Democrats and the Express, yet he classes them altogether, endeavoring thereby to create a feeling of distrust among Union men, We care pot how much you berate us on our disloyalty, for we have no fears of your being able to drive us from our allegiance, however much you may wish to do so; but thero are those who from these constant flings and insinuations become disheartened, an] from mere madness turn against their country, rather than be ranked among the followers of such selfish intrigning demagogues, We leave it to candid men to say who has exhibited the most “fear” ia being called upon to do their country service,Republicans or Union Demoerats.

Wasutxatoy, Nov. Ist. The following letter from General Scott was received by the President on Thursday afternoon: Heap Quarters, Oct. 31, 1861. To the Hon. Simon Cameron, Secretary of War:—For more than three years 3 have been unable from a hurt to mount a horse, or to walk more thao a few paces ata time, avd that with pain} otber and new iofrmities—dropsy and vertigo—admonish me that 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 spao of man’s, Itis under such circumstances, made doubly painful by the oonatural aod unjast rebellion now raging in the Southern States of our 90 lately prosperous and happy Union, that I am compelled to request that my name be placed on the list of army offiAs this request is founded on an absolute right. granted by » recent act of Congress, I am entirely at liberty to say it is with deep regret that I withdraw myself in these momeotous times, from the orders of a President who bas treated me with much distinguished kindness aod courtesy, whom I know from much persooal intercourse to be a patriot without sectional partiality and prejudices, to be highly conscious of the performance of every daty, and of anequaled activity and perseverance. And to you, Mr. Secretary, whom I now officially addrees for the last time, I beg to aeknowledge my many obligations for uniform bigh consideration I have received at your bands, and bave the bonor to remain, sir, with bigb respect. (Signed) WINFIELD Scott. A special Cabinet conncil was convened on Friday morning to take the subject into consideration. It was decided that Gen, Scott’s request, under the circumstances of his advanced age and infirmities, could not be declined. Gen, McClellan was thereupon, withthe onanimous agreement of the Cabinet, notified that the command of the army would be devolved upon bim. At four o’clock in the afternoon, the Cabinet again waited upon the President and attended him to the residence of Gen. Scott. Being seated, the President read to the General the following order : On the lst of November, 1861, upon bis own application to the President of the U. S., Brevet Lieutenant-General Winfield Scott is ordered to be placed, and hereby is placed, on the list of the retired officers of the army of the United States, without reduction in current pay, sabsistence or allowances. The American people will hear with sadness and deep emotion, that Gen. Scott bas withdrawn from the active control of their army, while the President and the unanimous Cabinet express their own and the uation’s sympathy in his personal afflictions, and their profound sense of the <2 public services rendered by him in his long and brilliant career, among which will ever be gratefully distinguished his faithful devotion to the Constitution aud the Union, and the flag when aseailed by fratricidal rebellion. [Sigaed.] ApranaM LincoLn, Gen. Scott then arose and addressed the President and Cabinet, who had also arisen, as follows: “Mr. President:—This honor overwhelmg me; it over-pays all services I have attempted to render my country. If I earned any claims before, they are all obliterated by an expression of approval by the President, with the unanimous support of bis Cabinet. Well I know that the country bas placed its interests in thistrying erisis in safe keeping; . their counsels are wise, their labors are as untiring as they are loyal, and their eourse . the right one. Mr, President: You must excuse me; I am unable to stand longer to give utterance to the feelings of gratitude . which oppress me, In my retiremeut I shall offer my prayer to God for this administra. . tion and for my country; I shall pray for it . with confidence for its success over all ene. mies, and that speedily.” The President then took leave of Gen, . Scott, giving him his hund and sayiog he. hoped soon to write bim a private letter, expressive of his gratitude and affection.

The London Times, ix a leade?, says the blockade of the Soutbern ports is now ef fective, and reminds the Washington Govervment that foreign nations are domnd to recognise the blockade. It also shows that the cutting off the cotton sepplies ie the work of the South a# we] as the North, and it also seems quite true that alb cotton ex portation bas been forbiddew by tbe Confederate Government, in order that foreign nations, especially Wogland, may be forced to take sides in the Ameriewn quarre).

The body had not been found, and it was supposed to have been burned. Hypolite’s riding mule had been found, and the halter on it waa bloody. It was thought he was shot in the back while riding, and falling forward had struck the halter, thus aecounting for the blon . onit.

And to you, Mr. Secretary, whom I now officially addrees for the last time, I beg to aeknowledge my many obligations for uniform bigh consideration I have received at your bands, and bave the bonor to remain, sir, with bigb respect. (Signed) WINFIELD Scott. A special Cabinet conncil was convened on Friday morning to take the subject into consideration.

The American people will hear with sadness and deep emotion, that Gen. Scott bas withdrawn from the active control of their army, while the President and the unanimous Cabinet express their own and the uation’s sympathy in his personal afflictions, and their profound sense of the <2 public services rendered by him in his long and brilliant career, among which will ever be gratefully distinguished

his faithful devotion to the Constitution aud the Union, and the flag when aseailed by fratricidal rebellion. [Sigaed.] ApranaM LincoLn, Gen. Scott then arose and addressed the President and Cabinet, who had also arisen, as follows: “Mr. President:—This honor overwhelmg me; it over-pays all services I have attempted to render my country. If I earned any claims before, they are all obliterated by an expression of approval by the President, with the unanimous support of bis Cabinet. Well I know that the country bas placed its interests in thistrying erisis in safe keeping; . their counsels are wise, their labors are as untiring as they are loyal, and their eourse . the right one. Mr, President: You must excuse me; I am unable to stand longer to give utterance to the feelings of gratitude . which oppress me, In my retiremeut I shall offer my prayer to God for this administra. . tion and for my country; I shall pray for it . with confidence for its success over all ene. mies, and that speedily.” The President then took leave of Gen, . Scott, giving him his hund and sayiog he. hoped soon to write bim a private letter, expressive of his gratitude and affection.
