Simos Camerox Dear Sir: For more than thrco years I hove been nimble, from a hurt, to mount a liorso or to walk more than a few paces nt a time, and that with pain. Otlier new infirmities, dropsy and vertigo, udmonisli me that re pose of mind nnd body, with the appliances of surgery and medicine, are necessary to ndd a little more to a life already portract cd much beyond the usual span of man; it is under such circumstances, mndo doubly painful by the unnatural and uijust rebel lion, now raging in Southern States of our so lately prosperous and happy Union, that I am compelled to request that my i, iB-,.,i it, i;t r.r nrmv nfTiwrK immo m i f iv ..w. j granted by a recent Act of Congress, I am entirely at liberty to say it is with deep re gret that I withdraw myself in these mo mentous times from tho orders of a Presi dent who has treated me with much dis tinguished kindness and courtesy whom I kuow, upon much personal intercourse, to be a patriot without sectional partiality and prejudice, to bo highly conscious of the performance of every duty, and of unexcell ed! activity and perseverance; nnd to you, Mr. Secretary, whom I now officially ud dress for the last time, I beg to acknowledge my mnny obligations for the uniform high consideration I have received at your hands, and have the honor to remain, sir, with high respect, Wixfiki.d Scott. A special Cabinet council was convened to tuke the subject into consideration. It was decided that Scott's request under the circumstances of his advanced age and in firmities, could not be declined. Gen. Mc Clcllun was thereupon, with the unanimous agreement of the Cabinet, notified that the command of the Army would devolve upon him. At 4 o'clock r. Friday, the Cabinet waited on tho President and at tended him to the residence of Gen. Scott; being seat ed, tho President read to the Gen , the fol lowing order: On the 1st of November, 1 SCI, upon his own application to the President of the United Stutes, Brevet Lieut. Gen. Win Geld Scott is ordered to bo placed, and hereby is placed upon the list of retired of ficers of the army of the United States without reduction in his current pay, sub sistence or allowance. The American people will hear with sad ness and deep emotion that Gen. Scott bos withdrawn from the active control of tho army, while the President and unauimous Cabinet express their own and nation's sympathy in his personal ufllictions, and their profound sense of the important pub lic services rendered by liim, in his long nnd brilliant career, among which will ever be gratefully distinguished fnithful devotion to the Constitution and Union and the Hag, when assailed by parricidal rebel lion. (Signed) Auraiiam Lincoln. Gen. Scolt then arose and addressed the President and Cabinet, who had also arisen, as follows: Mr. President, this honor overwhelms inc. It overpays all services I have nt templed to render my country. If I had any claims before, they arc all obliterated by an expression of approval by tho Presi dent, with tho unanimous support of his Cubinet well I know that the country has placed its interests in this trying crisis in safe keeping their counsels are wise their labors arc os untiring as they ore loyal, and their courso the right ono. Mr. Pres ident you must excuse me, I am unable to stand longer to give utterance to tho feel ings of gratitude which oppress me. In my retirement, I shall offer my prayer to God for this Administration nnd for my country; I shall pray for it with confidence for ils success over all enemies, and that speedily. The President then took lenvo of Gen. Scott, giving him his hand, saying lie hoped soon to writo liim a privato Idler, express ivo of his gratitude nml affection.
