ante room, dressing, room &c, leaving :
Hall 40 by SO feet as the main room fol-
the lodge. The whole splendidly carpet
ed, furnished, &c.
The new Hall being finished, last Wed
nesday evening was set apart for its dedi
cation, on which occasion the fraternity
, determined to have a good time generally
/ by having a supper, music, speeches, DC
and inviting their uninitated friends with
their wives and daughters.
The proceedings of the evening were
/ opened by the impressive ceremonial OF
the Dedication, IN which the following Of
ficers took part, by special dispensation
from the Grand Lodge;
r. j. Wade acted as Grand Master.
Dr. D. D. Thompson as d. Grand Master.
Rev. F. P Cleveland as CIR. Chaplain.

GRAY, Esq, in accordance with the pre-
vious arrangement, delivered brief ora
ton adapted to the occasion. 1t was a
gem in its way, crowded with pleasant
and happily turned thoughts.
The dedication being concluded and
congratulations exchanged, next in order,
the following newly elected officers were
installed of the knights Templar of Ot'a-
wa Commandery, o C. GRAY, Esq, acting

Then followed the supper prepared by
Batchelder, Of the Exchange Coffee House,
in his best style, which is saying all that
is needed to prove its excellence. Some
80, including the fraternity and their
guests, surrounded the tables, and what
with music by Hunts Band as an accom-
paniment, and the gay talk, and the more
substantial business of supplying the inner
man with the choicest viands, it is easily
guessed the time passed off pleasantly
enough until the hour of low twelve"
at about which the company dispersed.
The occasion was one full Of pleasant
incidents, and will be long remembered
in delightful association with the ancient
an honotable order of Freemasonry.

 Rosencrans, in Western Virginia, has defeated Floyd's army of 1000, and, it is thought, got them so as to capture the whole force.
 There is report in the Norfolk, Va. papers that Gen. Beauregard has resigned Gen. Fremont is deprived of his command. Gen. Hunter is commander of the Western army. Yesterday, Nov. 2, small bodies of rebels came within 12 miles of Springfield, and news of their advance, 28oOstrong was received; preparations were being made to attack them, when Fremont received an order from Washington relieving him at once of his command, the news spread like wild fire, and created great indignation and excitement through the camps. Many officers offered to resign at once, and many companie es laid down their arms, declaring they would fight under no one but Fremont.
 Gen. Fremont made an address to the officers and troops, urging them to remain patriotic and continue on as they had begun, but his staff and body guard will dsband. No more news from the fleet. Election in New York State has gone Union as far as known.

me Retirement of Gen,l Scott.

The Retirement of Gen,l Scott.
 fhe Retirement of Winfield Scott from the Hssd c tie Army is an event which at any time s,,-a esIs forth wide expression of feeling and Ssyexs and which at the present iuncture elicits uussersal comment
 CoupeIIed by age, advanced beyond the time .IIoss.d to man, and by infrmisies of body arising num wounds received years ago in the battles of his country, ke withdraws himself from the active serviee, and the Country loses his vast military experieace, his undoubted skill in military strat- esv. and the force of that counsel in which he u.s unsurpassed by any living chieftain.
 He extent of the labors and task devolving upo1 the veteran General for the past few months kw Of our readers can understand or appreciate The whole plan and conduct of the War against tAe rebels has necessarily been drafted and adopt ed by himself alone. The whole engagement and organization of the troops, pouring in from every stnae, tho in detail performed by his assistant Generals, yet nearly or all necessarily came hoa him. The various and perplexing minutiae even of each department, and the great de- psxsments themselves, were all under his i'm mediate eve and governed and arranged by his dicsun. Nothing has been done by President or Corporal without Gen'l Scott's knowledge and ap- proval
 It is hardly wonderful then that the old man oi sesenty-six should have become worn down and exhausted by such arduous work-and the coun ty win appreciate none the less his worth and glory because he has been compelled at length to iag down the armor he has so gallantly worn in tAree great wars, and forever in the hearts of his eoantryuen and upon the topmost pinnacle oi tkeir regard and affection will he graven the name ofthe veteran Hero of a Hundred Battles.
 The country has reason for the universal con- Rrstnlasioa which halls as successor of the re- novned General, his youthful brother-in-arms Gxo B. MCCLELLAN.
 No 1an has more possessed the entire conf. 3ezce of Gen1 Scott than Gen1 Mcclellan since hls association with him in the Department o tAe Potonac- The industry and efficiency he has sxhihised has been equalled only by an ability and skin which has called forth the highest en eo@iums from the Commander-in- Chief-and it a xlfh his hearty advice and at his earnest wish 8at Gea7 Mcclellan has been chosen to fill his paaissoa as Head of the Army.
 wkze VIC firmly believe that everything has Azs sr been done as well as could be done un- t<< she administration of Gen1 Scott, and while ve belseve thai the veteran Generals plans will nly be carried out by his successor, yet we look vsA the sane confidence for a vigorous prosecu- zsa ef the var, and for speedy overthrow oi he reAellioas hosts under the newSleadership.
 We shall certainly have no more Bulls Run sHAirz-we trust VIC shall have no more Ball. BlussL We look now for renewed vigor and ac i've wurk-and we believe we are not doomed te be loag kept waiting for a decided advance o CT arms and glorious victory.
 May Heaven speed the day.

n%A painful rumor was in circulation in Winsted on Wednesday last to the effect that MT. Samuel W. Scovill of Salisbury had been arrest ed for setting fire to, causing to be set on fire the Ryan Woo.en Factory at Norfolk, which was burned sometime last winter or spring. Mir. Scovill was heavy stockholder or creditor of the concern, which never had been prosperous. The mill st the time of it's burning was insured. He has always borne high character, and his friends believe his innocence will be established.
 The above, which appeared in the Winsted paper of last week, we are happy to say is wholly without foundation. The "rumor" rose proba- bly, from the fact that at the trial of case be- fore the Superior Court, last week, which involv- ed the burning of the Woolen Factory at Nor folk, one of the parties claimed that the fire was caused by the carelessness or intent of Mir. Sco- will. The Judge however, summarily disposed of the claim, as not at all sufficiently founded upon evidence, and the decision rendered was in favor of Mir. Scovi, and against his assaiants from Norfolk.
