Retirement of GEN. Scott.

On the 3lst inst, Lieut.. General Win.
field Scott at his own solicitation, was hon
orably retired from active service. About
throe years ago the General accidentally fell
in one Of the streets in New York, and
hurt himself severely. Since then, though
physically unable to mount horse and per-
form active military duty, he has been
more pressed than ever with company and
sares. Since the outbreak of the present
rebellion, these cares have more than quad.
rupled, requiring about sixteen hours out
OF every twenty -four-a labor. sufficient to
tax the energies Of any man in the prime
Of life. This severe application within the
past month has developed dropsy and
vertigo, until it became apparent to the
old veteran that he could no longer do his
country service. .
On Friday morning special meeting Of
the Cabinet was called, At which it was de-
ctded that considering the Gen. Scott's ad.
vanced age and inirmities his request could
not be denied. General Mcclellan was
therefore notified that the command Of the
army henceforth would devolvc upon him.
In the afternoon of the same day the
President and Cabinet proceeded to the re.
sidence Of Gen. Scott, and the President
then read an order expressing regret that
affections Of disease had compelled him
10 abandon his position, and informing him
that he was placed upon the retired list of
sriny officers without reduction in current
pay. subsistence. or allowance. On the
conclusion Of the reading, the old General
rose and addressed the President and Cab
inet, who had also r;scn--thanking them
for the distinguished honor they had con.
ferrcd, end expressing his confidence that
the interests Of this country arc in safe
keeping.
The old General will probably 60 to Eu.
rope and seek quiet place to die. His
services to this country have been inyalua-
bic. and his name will ever BE- treasured in
be memory Of the American people.

led them to taboo all mere articles of lux

Our exports were in excess of our imports,
and the influx Of gold straightway began.
