As this request is founded on an absolute right, granted by a recent act of Congress, I am-entitrly at liberty to say it js with deep regret that I withdraw myself in these momentous times, from the orders of a President who has treated me with much distinguished kindness and courtesy, whom I know from much personal inpartiality and prejudices, to be high seious of the performance of every duty, and of unequaled activity and perseverance.

A special Cabinet council was convened on Friday morning to take the subject into consideration. It was decided that Gen.

At’ four o'clock in the afternoon, the Cabinet again waited upon the President and attended him to the residenee of Gen. Scott Being seated, the President read to the General the tollowing order: : Qn the first of November, 1861, upon his own application to the President of the U. 8., Brevet Lieutenant-General Winfield Scott is ordered to -be placed, and hereby 1s placed, on the list of the retired officers of the army ofthe United States, without. a reduction in current pay, subsistence, or allowances. The American people will hear with sadness and from the active contrel of their army, white the President and the unanimous Cabinet express their own and the nation’s sympathy in bis personal afflictions, and their profound sonse of the important public services rendered by him in his long and brillant career, among which will ever be gratefully distinguished his faitnful devotion to the Conetitution and the ‘Unien, and the flag when assailed by fratricidal rebellion. (Signed) ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Gen. Scott then arose and addressed the President and Cabinet; who had also arisen, as follows: : Z “Mr. Pregident:—This honor overwhelms me; it over-pays all services I have attempted to render my country. If 1 earned any elaims before, they ate all oblitated by an expression of approval by the President, with the ananimous support of hie Cabinet. Well I knew that the country has placed its interests in this trying crisis in safe keeping ; their cougsels are wise, their Jabors are as untiring as they ere loyal, and-theircourse the right one. Mr. Presideat: You must excuse me; 1 am unable to stand longer to give utterance to the feelings of gratitude which oppresses me. In my. retirement I shall offer my prayer to Gud for this administration and for my country ; I shall pray for it with confidence for its success over all enemies, and that speedily.” The President then took leave of General Seott, giving him his hand and eaying he hoped soou to write him a private letter, expressive of hia gratitude and affection. Quincy, Ill, Nov. 2d.—The Louisville Journal, of Oct. 30th, has details of a skirmish between Federal rebel troops at Saratoga, Linn county, on Saturday night Oet. 26th. The engagement was between a company of rebel cavalry under Capt. W. D. Wilcox and a company of rebel infantry under R.W. Wake, and 200 Federals under command of Maj. Phillips, of the 9th Illinois regiment. Maj. Phillips took the traiters by surprise—killing from 10 to 20 of their number, including both Wilcox and Wake, taking 40 paisoners, 68 guns, two wagons, a large amount of provisions, a negro driver and 80 or 90 horses.

The Grand Jury, now in session at Nevada City, have in their possession the necessary information to find a true bill, which we hope will be done. Nothing farther of importance to communicate at present. My respects to all of our kind. Yours truly, Nick Dup. tw The Democrat, in attempting to reply to us on the subject of the liberality of the Republicans. gets itself into chancery with wonderful address. It says, for instance, that “in the election of United States Senator, last winter, the Republicane had their choice to vote fora Union man or allow a disunionists to be elected”’—which amounts to just this: thatif the Republicans had not come to the relief of the Union Democrats a few more of the latter would have turned traitore and voted for a disunonist, ae many of the saine stripe had-already‘done. This isa most melancholy confession. The Republicans chose to vote for the Union Democrat “and so proved themselves Union men,” says the Democrat. Yes, avd by so doing they saved the Union Demecracy from proving themselves disunionists, and traitors to their principles and country. Such are the virtual admissions of the Democrat. The facts cited by the Democrat of seme Republicans voting for divunionists in the last Legislature dees not disprove our position, that the Republicans, as a party, are liberal, but strengthens. it, as it ie certainly no illiberahty for one party toe support the nominees of another, though the Democrat may esteem it the height of illiberahty not to support its faction all the time. The action ot a few Republicans in voting for disunionists should visit no discredit on the majority who were true to the Union cause in every emergency. ; a The Democrat is again unfortunate in saying the Republicans could not elect their own partizans and, therefore, voted for their opponents as a matter of necessity, not of liberality. They could not, of themselves, elect their own partizans,,it is true. Neither could the so called Union Democrats. ‘The “ necessity” was, therefore, as binding upon one party as the other. The Republicans could have voted for their own man, but didn’t. The Democrats might have voted for a Republican, but they wouldn't. Thus the Republicans showed a want of bigotry, and ‘Ahe Democrats didn’t. Finally, the Democrat can see no particular evidences of liberality in seeking a man ca. pable of dving the business of an office, outside of the party. Perhaps there are no-such evidences; but we submit to our ueighbor, if the Union Democrats, in their last County Convention, had gone outside of the party to get an honest candidate for Recorder and Auditor, instead of a well known thief, would not the party have given “ particular evidences”” of honesty, if not liberality ?—hey ?

Yes, avd by so doing they saved the Union Demecracy from proving themselves disunionists, and traitors to their principles and country. Such are the virtual admissions of the Democrat. The facts cited by the Democrat of seme

Republicans voting for divunionists in the last Legislature dees not disprove our position, that the Republicans, as a party, are liberal, but strengthens. it, as it ie certainly no illiberahty for one party toe support the nominees of another, though the Democrat may esteem it the height of illiberahty not to support its faction all the time. The action ot a few Republicans in voting for disunionists should visit no discredit on the majority who were true to the Union cause in every emergency. ; a The Democrat is again unfortunate in saying the Republicans could not elect their own partizans and, therefore, voted for their opponents as a matter of necessity, not of liberality. They could not, of themselves, elect their own partizans,,it is true. Neither could the so called Union Democrats. ‘The “ necessity” was, therefore, as binding upon one party as the other. The Republicans could have voted for their own man, but didn’t. The Democrats might have voted for a Republican, but they wouldn't. Thus the Republicans showed a want of bigotry, and ‘Ahe Democrats didn’t. Finally, the Democrat can see no particular evidences of liberality in seeking a man ca. pable of dving the business of an office, outside of the party. Perhaps there are no-such evidences; but we submit to our ueighbor, if the Union Democrats, in their last County Convention, had gone outside of the party to get an honest candidate for Recorder and Auditor, instead of a well known thief, would not the party have given “ particular evidences”” of honesty, if not liberality ?—hey ?

The fact is, he must fight eonyewhere—either in Virginia, or along the farthest banks of the Ohio, or starve. It is contended, on the one hand, that if Virginia is abiindoned to the Federal troops they will find nothing but desolated fields and deserted homesteads; but those who argue in this wise should recollect that if Eastern Virginia is occupied by the Federal uitmy, there is a practical end to the iou will be as thoroughly beld in the iron vice of the Governm«nt as Maryland is to-day.” atl 4 Topacce.—A gentlem:n residing on the Mokelumme river, near Mokelumme City, informs the Stockton Independent that the farmers in his immediate neighborhood will next in tobacco.
