A special Cabinet counsel was convened
on Friday morning to take the subject in
to consideration. 1t was decided that
Gen. SCOTS request, under the circum-
stances of his advanced age and infrmi-
ties, could not be declined Gen Nc
Clellan was thereupon, with the unanimous
agreement Of the Cabinet; Notified that the
command of the army would be devolved
upon him at o'clock in the p. M. The
] Cabinet again waited on the President and
attended him to the residence of General
Scott. Being seated, the President read
to the General the following order
On the LIST day Of November, 1861, up
on his own application to the President Of
tho U. s., Brew. Lieut.. Gen. Winfield
Scott is ordered to be placed and hereby
is placed upon the list Of retired officers of
the army Of the L. s., without reduction
in his current pay, subsistence or allowan n
ces. The American people will hear with
sadness and deep emotion that Gen. Scott
has withdrawn from the active control of
the army, while the President and the
unanimous Cabinet express their own and
the Nations sympathy in his personal af-
i fictions, and their profound sense of the
important public services rendered by him
in his long and brilliant career, among
which will ever be gratefully distinguish
ed his faithful devotion to the Constitution
and the Union and the hag when assailed
by parricidal rebellion.

The Hon. S. CAMERoN-Sir For
more than three years | have been unable,
from hurt, to mount a horse, or to walk
more than few PAGES at a time, and that
with pain Other and new infrmities,
dropsy and vertigo, admonish me that re-
pose of mind and body, with the applian-
ces of surgery and medicine are necessary
to add little more to life already pro.
tracted much beyond the usual span of
man. 1t is, under such circumstances,
made doubly painful by the unnatural and
unjust rebellion now raging in the South
ern States of our 50 lately prosperous and
happy Union, that am compelled to re-
quest that my name be placed on the list
of army officers retired from active service.
As this request is founded on an absolute
right granted by recent act Of Congress,
am entirely at liberty to say it is with
deep regret that ! withdraw myself in
these momentons times from the orders
of President who has treated me with
much distinguished Kindness and courtesy,
whom know upon much personal inter
course to be patriotic without sectional
partiahties and prejudices, to be highly
conscientious in the performance of every
duty, and of unrivalled activity and per
severance. And to you, Mr.. Secretary
whom | officially address for the last time
beg to acknowledge my many othga.
tons for the uniform, high consideration
have received at yeur hands, and have
| the honor to remain sir, with high re
spect, NlNflELD SCOTT.

Visit to Suffolk and Norfolk.

We have just returned from visit to Suffolk and|
Norfolk but not in time to say much we desire|
about what heard and saw, near one Of the seats
Of war: In our next we will go more into details.
The 4th regiment of North Carolina volunteers isl
at present eneamped near Suffolk. With the ex-
ception of some cases of measles and pneumonia,
the health of the officers and men is excellent
This regiment is commanded by Col. Junius Daniel,
who is in every respect admirably qualified for his
place.
The Sd regiment commanded by Col. Pender, had|
left just before we reached Suffolk for Smithfeld,
on the southern side of James River.
The I'd regiment, commanded by Col. Solomon
Williams, of Nash, is encamped IN pleasant grove
near Norfolk. The general health Of this regiment
is also good.
Weheard Colonels Daniel, Pender and Williams
and their subordinate officers spoken Off high terms
These regiments are in fine spirits, and ready to
meet the enemy at any moment.
Norfolk is thought to be entirely secure against
assault We visited Craney Island, and found it
already we'll fortified. The is true as to Sew
ellis Point, and other points on the river.
We heard rumor on Thursday, that several fed
eral war steamers were menacing Pigs Point, some
twenty miles below Suffolk, at the mouth of the
Nansemond. 1t may be that the enemy will attempt
to land at this point at other points on this side Of
the James River. They will meet with warm re-
ception whenever the attempt is made.
There is fine company Of dragons, from Peters
burg, at Suffolk but some horse artillery is much
needed there. We trust that Maj. Ramseur may
be ordered there soon. But the press is waiting,
and we must omit further details until our next.

Major C. E. LishtfoOt.

We learn that this excellent officer is winning
golden opinions from his entire regiment. He is
Major of Col. Fishers regiment, and upon him, We
understand, has devolved mainly the duties of the
lcamp, until recently; other duties having claimed
the attention of the other officers Maj Lightfoot
lis represented to US as accomplished scholar and
liable tactlcan. We learn that the officers on the 1st
inst, manifested their high appreciation of his SER
vices and worth, by presenting him that noble bay
charger, called Henry Clay, we'll known in Wake.
THE presentation on behalf of the officers was made
|by Capt. Richard W. York, of company I, in neat
address, and responded to by Major Lightfoot in an
eloquent speech.
