Cameron: Secretary of Wa: For more than three years, I have been unable to mount my horse or walk more than a few paces at a time, and that with much pain. New infirmities, dropsy and vertigo admonish me, that mind and bo- by with appliance of surgery and medi- cine are necessary to add a little more life already protracted to the span usually allotted to man. It is under such circum- stances, however painful by the unnatu- ral and unjust rebellion now raging in the Southern States of our BO lately happy and prosperous Union, that I request that my name by placed on the retired list of the army. As this request is grounded on the recent act of Congress, and I have to regret the necessity in these times, and if the President, who haA treated me with so much kindnessund courtesy,and whom I know from much personal intercourse to be patriotic without sectional prejudi- ces, to be highly conscientoiiH in the per- formance of every duty with activity anu perseverence, and to you, the Secretary, I officially address for the last time. I beg to acknowlcpge my many obligations lor the uniform kindness I have received rtt your hands. With lii^h retard*, yourolxwliont servant, WINPIttlJl 8i:i>TT.

Scott is ordered to be placed anil is hereby placed on the retired list of the army of the United States without relation to pay and sustenance.

The President and Cabinet express their profound sense of the services rendered by him to his country during his long and brilliant career, among which he display- ed, his faithful devotion to the Union and ling when assailed by the parieidal re- bellion. (Signed* Ann AH AM LINCOLN. (Jen. Scott, thereupon rose and ad- dressed the President and Cabinet as follows : President: —this honor overwhelms me. It overpays all attempts to serve my coun- try, if I had any claims. It obliterates .ill claim, 1 know the President and this Cabinet well, I know that the country has placee its interests in this trying cri- sis in safe keeping. Their counsels are wise and their la- bors untiring, ami their course the right. President excuse me, I am unable to stand any longer to give utterance to the | feeiings of gratitude which overcome me. In my retirement I shall offer up my prayers to God for this Administration and my country. I shall pray for it with conn* icnce iu its success over the country. I hope soon to write a private letter. The President added: \General you will naturally feel 'solic- itous about tlie gentlemen on your StafV who have rendered such service to the country. I understand they po with you to New York. I shall require, at their earliest convenience, their wishes to be. made known. A provision which will be made for them will be such as will re- main agreeable. 11 The Secretary of the Treasury ami the Secretary of War accompany Gen. Scott to New York to-morrow, by early train. The following is the response of the Secretary of War: WAH DKI'AUTMKNT, WASHINGTON, NOV. 1.—General:—It is my duty to lay be- fore the President your request asking to be retired, under the recent act of Con- gress. In separating from you, I cannot help expressing the wish that your health, shattered by long and repeated wounds received in your country's defence, ren- ders it necessary that you retire from your high position. Although you are not to remain in actual service, I hope I will continue to lie permitted to avail myself of the benefits of your counsels. It has lM*en my good fortune, to enjoy a personal acquaintance with you for over thirty years, and it has been strengthened by a cordial feeling on the great questions which have convulsed the country for the last six months. In parting from you I hope that the Providence which has pro- tected you in so many trials will improve your health and continue your long life after the people of the country shall have been restored to their future happiness and prosperity. 1 am, respectfully, your ol/t scrv't, SIMON CAMERON, Secretary of War.

Fremont from any connection with his purchase of blankets. He says that when the report of the Board reached General Fremont he ex- pressed great displeasure,, and requested the blankets to be returned. They were not condemned as worthless and rotten, and the only fault that could lie found with them was in the purchasing them. The price was $ 1 40. Assistant-Quartermaster Davis made the purchase in his official capacity. He can only account for the misstate- ments by the fact that while Adj.-General Thomas was in St. Louis he was confined to his bed, and that the Adjutant-General presumed from the reports he heard that lie had the whole truth before him. NKW-YOHK, NOV. 1.—The Massachu- setts tMd and Connecticut 10th regi- ments, and a New-York battery, passed through here to-day for the seat of war. ports in case of blcekade of its coast.

Mr. Phillips himself was thus arrested an*I was confined for sixteen days in Toronto, when he had not ex pressed, either by word or deed, the slight- est possible sympathy with the rebel cause. England acted then upon the law of self-defence, and neither habeas corpus, treaties, laws, or anything else, was per- mitted to stand in the way of whatever was essential to her own safety. She must allow us to follow her example now. A Quaker was asked by a purchaser if his horse would draw. \ Thou wouldst bless thine eyes,' 1 he said, if thou couldst see him draw.' 1 On this implied warrant the bargain was effected; but on it being found the horse would not draw, the Quaker was remonstrated with, and made this answer: \I told thee, friend, k would delight thine eyes to see my horse draw. I am sure it would delight mine, for I could never make him draw an ounce since he has been in my possession/, U
