long and pleasant liz terview 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.
II is said the visit Of General Mcclellan and
Governor Randolph to this city is for the pur-
pose Ct putting the Stevens floating battery (of
which General Mcclellan is the engineer in
ehargel in use for the defence of New York
harbor. In the course of the day the General

Now, that the facts are developed, it seems
that Miss Kellogg Is MOTT blame for the 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.. Strakoech, and on his being informed
OF the fact, he heimmediateiy ION Thursday tele-
graPhed back that Miss Kellogg could not pos
sibly appear here on that night, she was en-
gagged to sing in New York on Sunday night.
By some inadyertence this message did not
reach the party to whom 1t was sent until Sat.
ter right before the public, had the proper steps
been taken. Miss Kellogg is a conscientious
artistic, who has never willingly disappointed
the public, and she should not be held respou-
sible in this case.
GEN. GEORGE B. MCCLRLLAN, of New Jer-
sey, accompanied by Gov. T. +. Randolph of

fast, leaving, about half-past nine O'Clock, in
company with Governor Randolph for a visit
10 some Of his friends in this city. HIS per
sonal appearance 10 somewhat changed since
he was last here, he being thinner and somewhat
sunburnt, though looking very we'll. The full
moustache and imperial which he then wore
are missing, and instead thereof he now wears
q close cut moustache.
THE CITY PosTMAsTERsHIP.-Noa appoint.
ment has yet been made to the City Post Ofice
in place Of Col. Alexander, though it is ex.
pected that a change will be made in the course
of week. The commission of L. q. Robbins,
Esq, T. 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 the President, it is stated. from
Mayor Bowen, and the commission with
drawn. Mayor Bowen, in this letter, IL is
stated, charged Mr.. Robbins with having acted
against the Republican party in the late num-
cipal contest, by voting against him for the
Mayoralty, and also acting to the detriment of
the party while member Of the Board of Reg.
istra,ion.
The friends OF Mr.. Robbins say that Mayor
Bowen has been msinformed in regard to Mr..
Robbins having worked against him. as he
voted for him and contributed funds to secure
his election; aAd they also deny the other alle-
cations in regard to Mr.. Robbins course in
the Registration Board. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Robbins has put in an answer to the
charges TO the above effect; but ii is not known
what course the President will pursue. Thus
tar Mayor Bowen has shown himself a pretty
formidable adversary, and it by no means i'm.
proves Mr.. Robbins chances that the Mayor is
enlisted against him.
THE COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE
has decided that where parties are engaged IN
the manufacture Of goods for furnishing ma
terial, paying for the work, or in any other
manner, though only engaged by conducting it
through agents. they are liable 20 the tax I'M
posed by act OF March 3lst 1865, upon manu-.
facturers.
