Washington, Oct. %.
Gen. Scott will voluntarily retire from
rank and duties within the next ten days,
solely on account of lhis physical infirinl-
ties The recent act of Congress provided
that there should be no reduction in his
pay, subsistence or allowance In the event
of his withdrawal.
1t is we'll known that Gen. Scott has
had an unsettled account with the War
Department since the Mexican war. Sec
rotary Cameron has recently given care
full examination of his claims, now iAir-
teen wears old JEFF. Davis malignity
brought him in debt on account of his
expenditures and receipts in Next
co, and so far as the Secretarys report
could do il discredited him as hnanciai
agent of the Government Mr.. Cameron
has reported that Gen. Scott was not only
entitled to money he claimed of the Gov
eminent, but that he saved to it millions
of dollars, which, by the laws Of war, he
could have pocketed under the settled
principles regulating the distribution of
prizes and contribution money. This OPP
portunty of personal advantage Winfield
Scott generously diverted to the founding
of home for invalid soldiers. One of
the monuments, long after he is dead,
will be the Soldiers Home near Wash
ington.
On Saturday last, the order of the COM
mander-in chief that Gen. Fremont should

Of the Potomac III pitched battle and as
near Bull Run rs possible, and from thence
roll the tide Of war steadily southwark till
it meets the waters of the Gulf.
The Tribune states that one Of our cor.
respondents with the great naval expedl-
ton writes from Hampton Roads, Friday
evening last, that he had just been in
formed on good authority that the private
secretary of Com. Dupont, tie command
or Of the fleet, had abscondcd, carrying
with him the maps and charts. and then
the sealed orders Of the commodore. We
do not vouch for the truth of the report
but only for the fact that the writer ii

is erroneous.

a,,ui.b view Of the san-JHcintO-Trcnt
Affair.

A dispatch from Charleston 10 The New Or
leans Deita. dated the 9th instant, says
We are in receipt here Of intelligence to a late
date from Havana. The papers OF that clty TEEN
vitH animated comments ON th" San Jacinto-
Trent. affair.
Tie Havana Diario, of the 2lth November
discusses at great length the seizure OF the Con
ieJSfate Commissioner Mts5rs Mason and 5h-
dell.
Il says the news Of their arrest produced uni
versal excitement and Indignation, both among
natives and foreigners.
The captain of the Trent violated 40 law OF
neutrality, the Diari0 contends, in giving to
Messrs. Mason and Shdell passage on ms
steamer.
The Diario comedies that Capt. Wilkes had a
right to visit and search the Trent, but denies hs
ri0bt To- seize the Confederate commissioner ul-
der the given circumstances, because the Trent
was still in neutral waters, viz: IA the narroweSt
part of the old Bahama channel, and was saliing
as a packet between neutral ports.
The same journal remarks that II the captain
Of the Trent had possessed usual seamanhke
knowledge, the world would have been amazed
at behOlding a neutral vessel either captured or
sunk while defending neutral rights.
The Diario concludes by expressing the opIn-
ion that England will %solemuly disapPTove and
resent the act. aud that the Lincoln government,
At the peremptury demand Of England, will make
tie amplest repaTation.

j the statement Of the Sc. Louis Democrat can
be relied upon, HENRY WARD BEECHER's ser
mon ou thanksgiving day was a direct contra
dicliou of all his previous poIticaLreligious
teachings That paper states that he " took
ground very decidedly against any emancipation
Of slavery by act Of Congress and insisted
that the war must be carried on within the lim-
it's of the Constitution II this is so we cannot
account for the change. It isa complete aban-
comment Of the higher law position lac and other
abolition teachers have so long been e%nuucia-
ting The only reasonable conclusion is that
the pulpit agitator has discovered that even the
North IS becoming tired Of negro philanthropy,
as l- has heretofore eZpouuded il, and conse-
queutIy be is trimming his course TO suit
The Republican also notices the sermon, and
queries: What has produced this sudden CONVEX

an evidence Of change Of heart-a constitutional
