McCLELLAN, accompanied by Gov Randolph, visited the Executive Mansion about balf-past eleven o'clock this morning, and bad a long and pleasant interview with the Presi- dent. They also visited the Navy Department and had an interview with Vice Admiral Por- ter, who is an old friend of General McClellan. It issaid tne visit of General McClellan and Governor Randolph to this city is for the pur- pose cf putting the Stevens floating battery (ot which General McClellan is the engineer in charge) in use for the defence of New York harbor.

FEMALE CLERKS IN THE PATENT OFFicE.— Rooms are now being fitted up on the 9th street front of the Pat-nt Office for the use of the fifty- three female clerks of that Department anthor- ized by law. Heretofore all copying of this office has been given out by the piece to fe- males, and a large number have had empioy- ment on such work, but none were employed im the building. The late act of Congress limits the force of female clerks at fifty-three: fixes their salary at $700 per annum, and pro- t be employed in the build. ing, under the same regulations as male clerke, They will commence work on the ist of July vides that they mi next, the beginning of the new fiscal year. Now, that the facts are avveloped, it seems that Miss Kellogg 1s notto blame forthe disap- Pointment experienced by the public on Mon- day night. The engagement for that night was Made by an agent here without the authority of Mr. Strakosch, and on his being informed of the fact, heimmediately (on Thursday) tele- graphed back that Miss Kellogg could not pos- sibly appear here on that night, as she was en- gaged to sing in New York on Sunday night. By some inadvertence this message did not reach the party to whom it was sent until Sat- urdsy, but not too late then to have set the mat- ter right before the public, had tne proper steps been taken. Miss Kellogg is a conscientious artiste, who bas mever willingly disappointed the public, and she shouid not be held respoa- sible inthis case. Gey. Grorcr B. Mc been stopping there for some time. fast, leaving, about half-past nine o'clock, in company with Governor Randolph, for a visit to some of his friends in this city. His per sonal appearance is somewhat changed since he was last here,he being thinner and somewhat sunburnt, though looking very well. The fuli moustache and imperial which he then wore are missing, @nd instead thereot he now wears 8 close cut moustache. Tae City PosrMasTERsasir.—No appoint- ment has yet been made to the City Post Uffice in place of Col. Alexander, though it is ex- pected that a change will be made in the course of a week. The commission of Z.C. Robbins, Esq., ty that office was made ont and signed by the President a few days since, but before its transmission to Mr. K. a letter of protest was received by tie President, it is stated, from Mayor Bowen, and the commission with- drawn. Mayor Bowen, in this letter, it 1s stated, charged Mr. Robbins with having acted against the Republican party in the late mani- cipal contest, by voting against him for the Mayoralty, and also acting to the detriment of the party while a member of the Board of Reg- istration. The friends of Mr. Robbins say that Mayor Bowen has been misinformed in regard to Mr- Robbins having worked against him, as he voted for him and contributed funds to secure bis election; and they also deny the other alle- gations in regard to Mr. Robbins course in the Registration Board. It is understood that Mr. Robbins has put in an aoswer to the charges to the above effect; but itis not known what course the President will pursue. Thus tar Mayor Bowen has shown himself a pretty formidable adversary, and it by no means im- proves Mr. Robbins chances that the Mayor is enlisted against him.
