The most absurdly ludicrous instance
of "presence OF mind ever recorded, is
that Of Portland, Ne, man, who was
awakened from his slumbers by bur-
glar, the other night. He went to the
door and coolly informed the impudent
fellow he might have ten minutes in
whick to leave. The rogue took excel
lent advantage of the liberal offer, and
secured many valuable articles which he
must have left on any shorter notice.

ST. CHARLEs.-The drama " Pioneer Patriot,

Gratis. There are good many thrilling tsbleaux
in the piece, and we thought that Mr.. Watkins,

representation Of his own designs. The piece will

Major General Commanding.
Gen. Hancock had another interview with the
president on the 3lst ut., relative to arranging
the details for the military department OF the At
lantc. The statement to the effect that Gen.
Grant had written letter TO the president, rela-
tive to the assigning Of Hancock to this district,
seems 10 have arisen out of the fact that Gen.
Grant wrote letter to the president asking his
opinion as TO the appointment to be made in the
fifth military department, in place Of Gen. Han
cock. The president suggested that Grant name
an officer; vhereupon he gave it as bis opinion
that for the present Gen. Buchanan was amply
qualified to take the command. Gen. Grant, bow
ever has said nothing to the president relative to
the appointment Of Hancock.
