A letter Of unusual interest will be
found on another page Of this paper from
our Kentucky correspondent. The re-
trca. of Gen. Zolicotter from Camp Wild
Cat to Cumberland Ford was a prolonged
and terrible slaughter of the rebels from
the rifles Of the Union men of the coun.
try through which he passed, who fired
upon them from every stone heap and
clump of bushes on the roadside. Ov, z
thousand Of the lop cared invaders bit
the dust before the army reached Cum
berland Ford. The affair occurred on
the same day as the battle of Balls
Bluff, Cor Lecsburs Hcights,) and may
be said to compensate in some measure
for that lamentable affair - Chicago Tri-
Lume.

FROM WARRINGTON,
WAsHINGToN, Oct. 90.


Gen. Scot. will voluntarily retire from
his rank aud duties within the next ten
DAYS on account of his physical iufrmi
ties. The recent act of Congress provi
ded that there should be no reduction of
his pay, substance or allowan ces, in the
event of his Withdrawal. 1t is we'll
known that Gen. Scott has had an unset
tied account with the War Department
since the Mexican War Secretary Cam.
cron has recently made a careful cxami'
milton of his claims, now thirteen years
old. JEFF Davis malignity brought him
in debt on account Of his own expendi-
lures and receipts in Mexico, and so far
as tie secretary's ,report could do 1t, dis.
credited him as fiuanc ial agent Of the
government. Secretary Cameron has re-
ported that Gen. Scott was not only en-
titled to the money he claimed of the
government, but that he saved to it mill
ions of dollars, which b. the laws of war
he could have pocketed under the set
tied principles regulating the distribution
of prize and contribution money. The
opportunity of personal advantage Wind
field Scott generously devoted to the
founding Of home for invalid soldiers.
One of the monuments, long after he is
dead. will be the Soldiers Home, near
Washington.

partment.
The charges against Col kerrigap are

Since the publication of Mr.. Cam
eron's letter to Gen. Sherman, we may
without improperly relate an anecdote
Of Gen. Fremont A few days ago a
Mlssour'an came to him with ample Ger
tflcates of his fidelity to the Union, ask
ing permission to search through the
camp for three slaves whom he believed
to have been taken into the service of
one Of the Illinois regiments. The Gen
eral politely declined, saying he could not
allow any one to examine his camp for
any purpose, except by regular authority
OF law, and then the applicant went away.
After he had gone, Fremont turs cd to
the gentleman with whom he had previ-
ons'y been talking: II dare say" said he,
these persons may be here but if they
are they have come expecting to find a
refuge, aud | will never violate the con.
tldencc they have reposed in me, so long
as my maine is John G. Fremont ".

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5

An official received to day. states that
Floyd's force is 1000 and Benhsm aud
Schcnk's Brigades were following him on
the new road. The dispatch is extremely
hopeful Of a brilliant victory, and the
prospect is cheering. Another telegraph
from Clcaveland last night states that
the Kanawha boat had just passed
Msysville, and reported that Gen. Rosen.
Grams had repulsed Floyd and at last ac.
counts Gems Benham and Schcnck had
got in his rear, aud it was thought
Floyd's force would be captured by them.
