AMUSING INcIDENT.-The Philadelphia Ledger
tells the following story:
San amusing incident occurred at the starting
of the train from Camden, on Wednesday, with
General Pierce and his Cabinet officers Mr.. Blu
chanan was present, taking leave of the Presi-
dent, when the admonitory whistle of the locomo-
tive announced that all was ready for starting
Still Mr.. B. fingered, having few more last
words to communicate to the President, and cor
daily shaking his hand, bidding him repeatedly
good bye The reluctance to leave, combined
with the reported doubt of his acceptance of the
mission, chimed 80 well, that one Of the Cabinet
officers, in his hurry, loosely cried out, WELL
you go,' The effect was irresistible; the accept
ing minister made up his mind and left mmedi-
ately, amid burst of merriment, in which he
heartily ioined.'
