Washington News and Gossip, ‘Tue New Cowmisstonar or Pexstons.— Hon. ©. ©. Cox, the new Commissioner of Patents, is a native of Maryland, and a gradn- ateof Yale College. He studied medicine and practiced his profession in bis nauve State with great success. He is & promineat menber of the American Medical Association, though be has retired from the practice of his profes- sion, having reaped a handsome fortune fro. the same. In IS61 Dr. Cox entered the Fede- ral army 2s Brigade Surgeon, and was assigned to duty as Medical Purveyor. In 1864 he was elected Lieutenant Governor of the State of Maryland by a large majority. In 1€5 he was acandidate for the United States Senate, but ‘withdrew from the contest. In 15.6 he was sent to Europe by the American Medical Assc- ciation as representative to the Foreicn Medi- eal Secieties, where he made many sirong friends. In 1867 Gov Cox received the degr-» of LL. D. from Trinity Cotleze, Hartford. He is a ripe scholar, and a gentleman of fine executive ability. H's confirmation gives gene ral satisfaction, and under bis administration the business of the Pension Office will no doubt be properly conduci-d SOUTHERN PArens just received here con- gratulate the'r people on the fact that the or- ders from President Johnson, substituting military departments for Districts, restores the old regime and makes him really as well as nominally Commander-in-Chiet of the army. Southern men betray uneasiness at the fast that the extraordinary powers vested in the milita- Ty commanders by the Reconstruction acts are at an end, and that the President’s hands are no longer so fettered that he cannot issue such orders as he chooses to Department Command. ers ‘THE ANNUAL STATEMENT of the Post Office Depertment for the fiscal year ending 30th June, will show a lerge deficit. In 1865, it wail be remembered, there was a surplus of £569.40. In 1566 there was a deficit, the first for several years, of $965,003. In 186: this deficiency amounted to $3,%%,455. In IS! at will prove to bein round numbers obout <£,0,0e0, This annuslly increased deficit is owing to -everal causes. Among them are the restoration of msil service on southern routes, and the subsidies for oeenic mail service. GEN. STONEMAN'’S Visit.—Gen.

PAYMENT FOR ALaska.—The warrant for the movey appropriated te purchase Alaska — $7,200,900 m goid—is now beiog prepzred at the Treasury Department, and the draft for that amount made payable to Mr. Edward de Stoeeki, the Russian Minister, will be signed to-morrow. The drait will probably be on the Assistan: Treusurer at New York, and payable on demand. Tee CHIvesR EmBASsY.—We hear from New York that the Chinese Embassy will not probably be able to fulfil all their enzagements in time to leave tor Europe om the 1°th of August, as was originally determined upon and will most likely be detained until about the Ist of September. They leave New York city on Monday for Auburn, New York, where they will be the guests of Secretary Seward for some days, Cursr CLERK OF THE PENSION OFrrcR.—It as thought that but few changes will be made in the Pension Office by the new Commissioner, though « strong effort is bemg mrde te have Dr. Lauck appointed chief clerk m place of James A. Morgan. A large number of the clerks in the office have refused to signa pe- tiem for the reappoimtment of Mr. Morgan, and deCiare their preference for Dr. Lauck, who ba" beem acting chief clerk since the resignation ot Judge Barre.t. Tre Waits Hovse.—The regular meeting of we Cabinet was held to-day; all the members present except Attorney General Evarts and Secretary Seward; but the latter was repre sented by Assistant Secretary Hunter. Pre- vious te the Cabinet meeting, Baron Stoeckl, the Rusrian Minister, called, in company with Mr. Hunter,and had au inuerview with the President.

POLITICAL.—The Boston Adeertiser gay: « Mr. Vallandigham’s statements may not be of much consequence, but we have the best an- thority for saying that his declaration that he did not meet with apy delegate from New York on the nigbt preceding Mr. Seymour's nomina- ton is untrue.” — Mr. Voorhees has accepted the nomination for Congress from his district im Indiana, and will make an active canvass. — Three of the Pendleton Escort are still ‘wandering in the mountains of Pennsylvania. A note from one of them, tied to a stone and eheeked on the platform of a sleeping-car, fal hot, but of course would be were it not for that there isn’t a single TF on the mountains. Our commissary stores, @ sour sandwich and s bott!eo! pop. gave out the first day, and we subsist for the most parton huck- leberries, culled by the side of the ratlrocd.

One stole my Pendleton badge white asleep under a tree, after dining rather heavily on slippery-elm bark, and another set his dog on us. I am writing this on s stump, while Jobn has gone to cull some sweet tlag for our frugal supper. John has his jokes, of course. He said to-day: ‘Tom, jet’s havea wine dinner to-day.
