NEW York, August 1O.-Ever since the
nomination of General Hancock, a steady
stream of visitors has poured in upon him
at his official residence on Governors Is
land. While the General has treated all
with uniform and undertaking courtesy,
and while he was doubtless glad to meet so
many friends and admirers, it has finally
become apparent that the strain OF his
official duties, with that of his necessarily
great private correspondence. has COM
pelled him to place somo limit upon the
time devoted to receiving the congratula-
tions of his friends. His official command
is a very large one. embracing the whole
of the Southern States, as well as the old
DEPARTMENT Of the Atlantic. In conse-
onence of these duties the following no
t;ce. comics of which were received at the
National headquarters last evening, have
been issued: In order that General Han
cock. without interrupting his official
duties. may be able to see the friends who
desire to call on him, he will be at home
from II A. IL. to Q P. NJ. or Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays.

number OF visitors, the most important
being Speaker Randall, who had quite a
lono interview, mainly in review Of the DO
litical situation. Two editors put in an
