.,ee,,o,e or General Patterson.

Colonel Alexander Mcclure, OF the Phila-
deInhia Times, relates the following ancc'
dote concerning the late General Robert
Patterson, which is both interesting ana
instructive In 1861, when the war FEVER
ran high, II occurred 10 certain local politl-
clans that the old veteran was disloyal, De-
cause he was staunch Democrat. and they
sent crowd to bis residence TO compel him
10 hoist The stars and stripes over bis mousse
ton. Anumber OF friends got wind OF the
proceedings and rallied to the GeneraPs
house and placed themselves inside Tor de-
fence. The multitude came with noise ana
n clamorous demand that the flag should
be run I'D or there would be trouble. AS
soon az they became partially quiet the
venerable General stepped out upon the
porch OF his residence and boldly faced the
mob. telling them that he bad heard OF tneir
visit and that he was ready for them. Pro-
ceeding, he said have fought for my coun'
try and for the old fl ,g in two great wars,
and | shall do as much against the present
rebellion. But ] do not apologize TO you.
You will be sorry for this wrong to one OF
nv years. Before go | want to give you
little advice: Go TO the front yourselves,
and when YOU have shown the right KIND OF
patriotism you can come and teach 1t to
me-" AS the gray-haired old soldier ceased
spesking q solemn silence fell upon the
crowd and they skunk away good deal
more hastily than they had come.

The Herald of yesterday thus criticises a
play which was presented at the Biion,
John McCaulPs opera-house, on Monday
evening:
"Rooms for Rent by Edward Hoist
and Herman Lee, an alleged comedy in four
acts, was produced at the b iOu Opera
House last evening. The evenings pro-
ceedlngs we're peculiar, and the comedy
proved to be, TO put it mildly, OF charac'
ter which defies the ordinary rules OF criti-
cism Ia its dramatic construction, and baf'
fies any attempt, even il undertaken by the
most ingenious manager Of journalistic
rebus department, TO make plain its story
The title has something OF a real estate
favor about it, and its value in that dlrec
tien may be indicated by the suggestion thai
it is lust such plays that make not alone
rooms for rent at the Biou, but vii
make the entire house vacant II the proceed

SAN FRANCIsC0, August 15.-The Alaska
Commercial Compuny's steamer st. Paul,
which arrived here this mornings brings
adyices concerning the revenue cutter Cor
win, which have been mostly anticipated
by previous reports. The sledge party
which Captain Hooper sent out TO look
for relics from the lost wbalers Vigilant and
Mount Wollaston. fell 10 with party OF ma
tiyes about one hundred miles from Cape
gerdze, " no bad in their possession num-
her of articles taken from the. wrecks. They
consisted principally OF carpenters tools, &c.
The following articles were recovered and
have been brought TO San Francisco to be
forwarded TO the United States Treasury
DEPARTMENT: One wbalng-ron marked
.B. X. - possibly the initials OF the owner
Of the Vigilant, with five dots, supposed TO
mean boat No. 3; one pair OF silVer-bound
spectacIes and case; one pair OF marine
glasses, and one knife marked "V" on the
handle. II Is supposed the vessel was
wrecked as far back as 1879. The sledge
party, being unable to proceed further
westward on account OF the melting OF the
snow, proceeded 10 Cape SerdZe and were
picked up by the Corwin. They travelled
10 ell about 100 or 140 miles.
The last intelligence OF the cutters move
ments is up to July oh, when she sailed
from Norton's sound TO Goruloyil bay,
thence to proceed northward to katzebue
sound and Point Barrow TO look after reye-
nue. mstters, and thence westward to Wran-
gel Land before the ice closed 10 the search
for. the Jeanette. The mildness OF the
previous winter aud the thinness OF the ice
encountered by the Corwiu gave Captain
Hooper strong hopes OF being able to reach
end explore that land. Fears are enter
taIned that some whaler has been lost, as
early In July large quantities OF whale oil
were reported seen by natives and other
hunters on the sea about Suck lila nd. -Four
casks OF whale oil drifted ashore there about
