subjugation. Have they failed in that? They undertook to hold and maintain a line of defence which would render the capital of Virginia secure. Have they failed in that? They undertook to hold the important key of Manassas, and has that been wrested from their hands? They never did undertake to capture the city of Washington, or to do more than compel the enemy to "let us alone," to prevent them from striking a fatal blow at our independence, and from bringing us under the dominion of Lincoln. Have they failed in that? A failure! Was Bethel a failure? Was Bull Run a failure? Was the battle of Manassas a failure? Were Carnifax Ferry and Greenbrier River failures? Was Leesburg a failure? Is the possession of Norfolk and its immense Navy-Yard a failure? Look back at the hour when the Pawnee was expected to come up the James River, and could have come up without passing one fortification; when the York River had not a gun upon it: when five hundred men was the extent of our
Resignation of Gen. Scott. We publish this morning a full confirmation of the report of Gen. Scott's retirement from active service, with the superannuated traitor's letter and address on the occasion, and President Lincoln's reply. The reason alleged for this step is increasing infirmity, and a thoroughly diseased carcase, which, even in its last throes, emits and odor of hatred and vituperation against its native South. Yet he does not give up his hold upon the Federal Treasury, and doubtless the whole plan was pre-arranged. His pay goes on, as a condition of getting him out of the way; and, we infer, the Federal Administration was glad enough to be rid of him on these terms. It is said that Scott will pass the brief remainder of his existence in Europe which we deem a prudent course on his part, for he will thus place himself beyond the reach of those towards whom he has, in his declining days, shown such base ingratitude. Gen. McClellan takes Gen. Scott's position,

The only fact in the entire report, so far as we can learn, is that the distinguished Lieutenant General has been placed on the retired list at his own request. Lincoln's Cabinet.

Fremont and the War. We continue to receive reports from Washington that Fremont is organizing a rebellion in the West against Lincoln, but have nothing confirmatory of such a movement. We have no doubt of his disposition to look out for Number One, and if his aspirations are checked by the managers at Washington, there may yet he trouble in the camp.

A Federal View of the War in Kentucky. advance of Gen. Rousseau--incidents of the march--Hon. Humphrey Marshalls' Escapes — some Peculiarities of the War, &c. The New York Times, a blatant champion for Lincoln and his unconstitutional acts, publishes the following letter from its correspondent in Kentucky. Though glossed over to suit the Federal side of the question, yet the account will afford some interest to the Southern reader: Camp at Nolin Creek, Ky., Oct. 23, 1861. Last Saturday afternoon, Brig. Gen. Rousseau, at the head of the Louisville Legion and the First Kentucky Cavalry, took up the line of march towards the enemy's lines. --Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm and spirit of the men as they marched out of camp with bands discoursing and banners flying, and filed beneath the overhanging maples and across the long, narrow old bridge that spans Nolin Creek, and past the clattering old, red, moss- grown mill, which in all its quiet, gray old life, n
