Ret;reu,eutof General scott.

The event of the week has been the resigna-
ton. spd retirement from public life of Lieut.
General WINFIELD SCOTT. We publish IN
another column, the letter of Resignation ana
the order of the President accepting It,
Physical infrmities and the weight OF years
have compelled the old hero and patriot to leave
the post he has so long held, and SO honoraoly
filed. as Commandcr-in-Chief Of the armies OF
the United States, and seek in retirement that
rest and quiet which could not be found III MS
responsible and laborious station.
Gen. Scott has borne the American flag hon
orally through two National wars, ana hao
health and strength held out, no one doubts put
that he would have carried it through the pres
ent struggle, without blot or blemish to tarnisn
one of its bright folds. Few men have hVeo
more endeared to the hearts OF the American
neople. than the old Hero of hundred bat
tlees." who now takes leave of office and re-
sponsibilities, returning the power which he has
n ever abused, back to the people who gave it.
Gen. MCCLELLAN has been invested with the
supreme command which Gen. Scott has re-
signed. We have every reas on to believe that,
the mantle of the old Hero has fallen upon
worthy shoulders The people OF the loyal
States look with confidence and hope to The
future of Cen. Mcclellan. They believe him
actuated by pure and noble patriotism, coup
led with superior judgment, breadth of compre-
hension and true military genius.

The Great Naval Expedition

Fort MONROE, Nov About O'Clock
this p. M, the steamer Monticello, from the
block aiding fleet off Savannah, arrived and re-
ported that she passed the whole feet on Sat
urday, night, within thirty miles of Bull Bay
The storm had nearly abated, and the officers
have no doubt that they entered Bull Bay, ear.
y Sunday morning and landed within twenty
five miles of Charleston. This point of the coast
is but slightly fortified.
A Norfolk paper of Monday says the destina-
ton of fleet is known to be Port Royal, which is
60 miles south of Bull Bay.
Sixty contrabands came into the fortress and
fleet on Monday They report that many of the
troops have been withdrawn from Great Bethel,
Yorktown and the vicinity of Norfolk, but don't
know where they have gone.
Passengers by flag of truce say no informa-
ton had been received at Norfolk relative to
the feet at ten o'clock on Monday morning.
The Dan Book OF Norfolk mentions rumor
that Gen. Beauregard has resigned, and also
published dispatch from Richmond mention
ing similar rumor there.
New YORK, Nov. 5.-The bark Honduras
reports seeing at daylight on the 2nd inst, be-
tween Cape Fear and Charleston, large feet
of naval vessels, consisting of small steamers
and large ships The WIND had abated.
PHLADELPHIA, Nov. 5.-The steam gun
boat Florida, one of the naval expedition, has
returned to the Navy Yard disabled. She left
the expedition on Friday night off Cape Fear
She reports that the feet encountered heavy
gale soon after leaving Hampton, but it died out
on Wednesday and again revived on Thursday
from the southeast. On Thursday night the
machinery of the Florida was disabled, but not
seriously, and can be repaired in three days,
when she will resume her voyage. She had no
troops on board.

CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK.


Agreeably to notice, a Meeting was held at
the Congregational Church of Paris and Bris
toll, on the Both ult, to consider the condition
of Sabbath Schools in our county, and the ex-
| pediency of organizing a County Sabbath
School Association.
Mr.. G. NJ: Fowler was called to the chair and
G. I. Van Arsdale appointed Secretary.
Short and earnest addresses were made by
several persons, urging the necessity of devils
ing some means by which Sabbath School
could be increased aud those in existence made
more efficient Each speaker thought that we
could accomplish more by uniting our efforts.
Therefore it was resolved that we organize an
association to be known as the Kenosha County
Sabbath School Association.
The following persons were elected officers
for the ensuing year:
President--J. D. FOWLER of Bristol.
Vice Pres.-A SPENCE, of Somers.
Secretary.-G. T. VAN ARSDALE, of Ken.
Treasurer. e, G. DURANT, of Kenosha.
Secretaries were appointed for several WINS
but as the list is not full, they will not be pub
lished until completed.
The duty of the Town Secretaries is the Su-
perintendent of Sabbath Schools in their re-
spectiYe Towns, to establish Schools in local.
ties where there is none. to provide teachers for
such Schools and to report to the County Sec
rotary from time to time, as may be necessary.
The duty of the County Secretary is TO take
general supervision of the Sabbath Schoolin-
terest in the county.
Thus has an association sprung into exist
ence from which think much good will result.
1t is not Sectariau, but is designed to embrace
all who love Christ and his cause; its efforts
will be to train children in the fear of God. and
to throw around them a guard that shall shield
them from the vices that beset them on every
hand. l said to train children should have
said to urge the principles of the Gospel on all
old or young that hear them. Sabbath Schools
are not designed exclusively for children, but
for all of every age that wish to know more of
Christ and the truths he taught
Let me appeal then to the Christians of this
county to aid US in tAis work the Master has
something for US all to do, and shall we not do
it? There is no duty more pleasant and no
work more certain of success than this.
The next meeting of the association will be
held the first Wednesday of May next, when we
hope that the Secretary will be able to present
a report showing the true condition of Sabbath
Schools in this County.
With your permission, Mr.. Editor, will in |
form you from time to time, what we are doing. !

A QUESTION OF VERACITY. I'VE stated a
couple of weeks since, that Mr.. o. S. Head had
given his patronage to The Kenosha Democrat,
an acknowledged secession sheet, as long as it
was published in this city. To this statement
though made in no Immature, nor in any fault
finding spirit, Mr.. Head took EXCEPTIONS and
through The KenoSha Times, aud in his speech
es in the city and county, at various times has
charged us with fasehood and all sorts of ms
and wickedness
In our article, we asserted that Mr.. Head was
a good Union man, and that we would have
willingly supported him had he been nominated
at the Republican Union Convention. We did
say that he was an inconsistent Union man in
giving his patronage to The Democrat. That
he bad done so was no secret to the people OF
the city or county. For year past they have
seen, or saw up to the time it was discontinued
the legal advertisements of o. S. q F. H Head :,
constantly, in the columns of The Democrat. and
not one in THE TELEGRAPH At the legal
rates, those advertisements must have amount
ed to over 500 This we call giving patron
age and supportto a secession sheet, aud incon-
sistent for a protested Republican and Union
loving man. Without denying our statement,
Mr.. Head land Mr.. Webster and Tie Times for
him. charges us with falsehood, and to sub
stantiate the charge, says that his papers show
that he has heretofore paid THE TELEGRAPH
some $500 or over, while he had paid The Dem
ocrat but $4S. That amount paid or claimed
to have been paid. and which should have been
paid, was for advertising for period extending
something over two years Nearly the whole
of that sum was for legal advertising, the price
of which is established by law. The bills were
made out in every case for the full legal rates,
and collected one-half of which Messrs. O. s.
S F. H. Head put into their own pockets, and
paid the other half to the printer, Thus only
one-hal of what Mr.. H. claims to have paid,
was ever paid to the publishers of THE TELE-
GRAPH In other words the publishers of THE
TELEGRAPH had to pay Mr. Head one dollar
Tor every dollar of patronage he gave them dur
ing mat time When the present publishers
took hold of The TELEGRAPH they declined to
accept any more of such dear bought patronage.
ana 1t was therefore given to The KenosLa Dem.
0crat.
Such are the facts in the case. We submit
it to the candid, Union-loving citizens of Keno
sha whether we falsi6ed anything in reference
to Mr. Heads course. We remarked that his
course was inconsistent for protested Union
man and Republican, and we still think SOL
Mr.. o. s. Head, further claims that he did not
control the advertising. The other member of
the firm, was elected last fall, Prosecuting At
torney for the County, on the Republican tick

A SOLDIERS WIFE
The atrcnstl, Of nEnunssns.

From the Louisville Journal.
To attack the Confederate forces at Manas-
sas with vast army of even the best troops in
the world, would be mighty undertaking. -
The Richmond papers boast, that in that strong
hold, a hundred men can successfully resist and
repel a thousand. Perhaps they coul5 if the
attack were as rash and precipitate as some of
our Eastern civilians evidently think that it
ought to be. The greatest Southern Generals
and civil engineers selected Manassas as the
strongest position by nature in Virginia, and
such it undoubtedly was. For six months they
have, with all possible resources at their COM
mand, been adding to its natural strength by all
the modes of tortIfcation known to military
science. From the two thousand heavy cannon,
many of them OF monstrous size seized by the
Confederates IN the Gosport Navy Yard, and
from the many hundreds Of columbiads and guns
of all calibres manufactured at the Tredegar
Works in Richmond, they have received lust as
many and Just such pieces of artillery as thew
could plant to advantage. If they wanted fl
teen hundred pieces of heavy artillery to be
placed in a hundred batteries. they have had
them, and placed them according to their pleas
Ure. At several points Of necessary approach
to their main positions, they have placed mines
Of gunpewder to be sprung at any moment,and
carry horrible slaughter among their assailants.
These are facts, and although thoughtless edi-
tors, writing to create a sensation, may ignore
them, the commanders OF our armies will scarce
ly do so.
We have confidence, strong confidence that,
in spite of all obstacles, however tremendous
they may be, Gen. Mcclellan will accomplish
the great purpose for which he stands at the
head OF the mightiest army in the world but he
must accomplish it, if at all, in lis ows time
and way.

BassetI, His little Hand uiIi and The
Telegraph.

Ordinarily matters Of personal character III
an election canvass, are not drawn into news
paper discussions after the cay of election But
Mr. Bassett having spread about through the
county, few days before the election, little
hand bill, charging THE TELEGRAPH with ut
tering ''coCardty tatsehood;" it seems but
proper that we should let the public know o0ho
is the falsifer. We will briefly Iecapitulate the
facts -
Two weeks ago the present issue Of THE
TELEGRAPH, it was stated in an editorial ofthe
paper that Mr.. Bassetts neighJOrS regarded MIN
as a sympathizer with Secession. A few days
after this statement appeared in The TELE
GRAPH, Mr.. Bassett had an interview with one
of The editors Of this paper, and stated that he
felt aggrieved with what had been said in The
TELEGRAPH respecting his secession proclivi-
ties We assured Mr.. Bassett, what was said
in The Telegraph was strictly in accordance
with what had been told us; that some of his
neIghbors as long ago as the carly part of last
summer, had represented him as being sym
pathizer with secessionists, and at the same time
gave him the names Of persons in the western
part of the counry, who SO represented him.
Mr. Bassett was not understood to deny, that
the persons we named to him, had called him a
secessionists, but proceeded to explain how it
came to pass, that such a charge had been
brought against him. his explanation was in
substance as follows -
After the war broke out, in his discussions of
the war question, he had taken the ground, that
if this war was to be prosecuted for the sole
purpose of maintaining the supremacy of the
Government, then he was in favor of the war !;
but if on the other hand. the object of the war
was to abolish slavery, or interfere with slavery
in the States where it existed then he was OPP
posed to the war. Because of his having takent
this view of the question, Mr. Bassett said he
supposed the charge of his being inclined to Sc
cession must have originated. His explanation
failed to satisfy others may regard it as they
please. Subsequently Mr. Bassett probably
thinking it the best way to extricate himself,
published the hand bill before referred to- charg-
ing The Telegraph with "co1cardIy .falsehoOd,"
in stating what his neighbors had said of him.
We beg leave again to assure Mr.. BasSett, that
what we said of him we believe to be strictly
true; there are substantial citizens in the west
ern part OF the county who know whereof we
speal1-Mr. Bassett himself knows Il.
AS for the political orators who just prior to
the election, seized upon Mr. Bassett's little hand
bill and blow unite a trunnet we have onlv to
say, if they could find no more truthful prem
lses on which to base an argument they must
have been hard pressed.

Robert Bunker, an ex-Mayor of Mobile. on his
way to this city from Europe, and believed to
be In possession of dispatches for the rebels
Accordingly, on the arrival of the train at ten
o'clock MIR. Bunker was promptly taken into
custody and removed to the Burnet House,
where he still is, under guard. His baggage
was detained at Cleveland, but is expected to
arrive this morning, when it will be overhauled
He denies that he is in possession of any docu-
ments whatever for the rebels, and says he has
Just returned from Paris, whittier he went to be
treated for a troublesome disease. Should any
reasonable papers be found in his trunks, he
will be sent to Fort Morgan, in Boston harbor;
if not, he will probably be released, but not I'M

Secretary of State. Mr.. Bunker is an elderly,
