But Bobby was in great danger of his neck down in Mary- land—the people there being decidedly down upon him.

ILITARY B TRE RETIREMENT OF = scoTT War Department, Adjutant Genrral’s * — Washington, Nov.}, Fo General Orders, No The following order from the President of the United States, announcing the retirement from active command of the honored veteran Lieuten- ant General Winfield Scott, will be read by the Army with profound regret: “Executive Mansi Washington, Nov. 1, 1! f “On the Ist day of November, A. D. 1861, upom his own application to the President of the United. States, Brevet Lieutenant General Winfield Scott is ordered to be placed, and hereby is placed, upon the list of retired officers of the Army of the United States, without reduction in bis current pay, subsistence, or allowances. “The American people will bear with sadness and deep emotion that General Scott bas with- drawn from the active contro! of the army, while the President and a unanimous Cabinet express their own an@ the natior’s sympathy In bis pire sonal effiiction, and their profound sense of the important public services rendered by him to bis country during bis long and brilliant career, among which will ever be gratefully distin- guished bis faithful devotion to the Constitution, the Union, and the Flag, when assalied by par- ricidal rebellion. Apranam Lincoin.” The President is plessed to direct that Major General Geotge B. McCirlian assume the command of the Army of the United States. The beadquar- ters of the Army will be established in the city of Washington. All commonicstions intended for the Commanding General will bereafter be ad- dressed direct to the Adjutant General. The du- pifcate returns, orders, and other papers hereto- fore sent to the Assistant Adjutant General, head- quarters of the Army, will be discontinued. By order of the Secretary of War: L. Tuomas, Adjutant General. “NO NEWS Goop NEws.’? The old sdage that “no news is good news’? may apply very properly to the fact that the Old Point boat this morning brings no further intel- ligence from Fortress Monroe of the doings of our fleet off Beaufort, although a flag of truce bad rived from Norfolk. Good authorities bere deem this a very significant and hopeful indication, as had any disaster befallen our fleet it would have been loudly trumpeted by the Confederates. ARMY AND NAVY ACCOUNTS HAVE PRECEDENCE. We learn that the Tressury Department has been expeditiously settling, during the past week, the accounts of the army and the navy, those branches of the public service requiring the earliest attention, as may at once be perceived, owing to the present hostilities. The claims of private individuals are necessarily postponed, but these will be attended to as soon as the public exigencies will permit, and as they may be aud- ited RESIGNED. Lieut. Frederic Mears, 9th infantry, U.S. A., who has been acting as Lieutenant Colonel of the Berdan Sharpshooters, has resigned bis place in that regiment, and bas been ordered to report for duty in bis company. The Sharpecoters have made excellent progress in drill under the in- structions of Lieut. Mears, and are only waiting for arms (Sharpe's rifies) to take the field. THE REVIEW. To-day, Gen. McClellan and staff have gone over the river for the purpose of reviewing the division of Gen. Fitz Jobn Porter. President Lincoln designed witnessmg the review, (which promises to be a remarkably fine one,) but in consequence of the disagreeable weather did net go over. THE RESOLUTE. We apprehend that it was the steamer Resolute, and not the Rescue, (as stated in the telegraphic dispstches elsewbere,) that was concerned in the gallant little affair up the Reppahennock. ON THE STREET. Ex-Mayor Berret appeared on the avenue to- day, looking in good condition and spirits, despite his late Fort Lafayette experiences.

A flay of truce was sent to Norfolk, but brought back no passengers, and no news whet ever of the fleet. Yesterday, the U.S gunbost Rescue went up the Rappabannock as far as U;bana Creek. When off the mouth of the creek, she captured « large schooner, took off all ber stores and movable property, aud burnt ber to the waters edge. The Rescue was fired upon by amasked betiery onshore. The fire was returned, and the rebels completely shelied out. The commander of the Rescue occupied the entire day in shelling every spot where there were indications of the presence of rebel troops. Subsequently, a small boat was seen crossing the river with three men. The Rescue’s boat, sent in pursuit, captured the boat and two men; but the third managed to escape by jumping out and wading ashore with a bag of ietters. The Rescue and Cambridge — would return to the Rappahannock to-dey and shell the woods where the rebel force is supposed to be posted.
