FROM THE CHrCKAHOMlNN.
Tie White House boats taking each way
large number OF passengers daily, all OF whom are
fnt required to obtain special permission from the
ProvostMarsbal or other officers competent to grant
them. The down boat to-day arrived at an early
hour. From passengers / learn that skirnishing
goes on continually with unimportant results the
main body of our troops beyond the Chickahomlny
maintaining their position, while those not yet over
are preparing to cross. The continued rains have
imposed great obstacles, by rendering the river al
mosi impossible, and the road, almost equally so.
No important movement is looked for ri present.
The future approach to Richmond is not expected
to be rapid and will be Of the nature Of regular
nves ment and siege. The Rebels are known to
have been very much crippled and discouraged by
the result of the battle OF the LIT inst. notwithstand-
ing the boastiul proclamation by JEFF. Davis. Al
most all The available buildings in the city are re-
quired for hospital purposes. The serious, If not
fatal wolnding OF Gen. Johnston, had a very dis
conagrg effect. Among the other Generals there
il much i'll feeling. johnson and Magruder have
not for come time beer on speaking terms.
MORE or TIE WOUNDED.
The number OF wounded soldiers that have ar
rived al The White House by railroad in round mum
bers, is 1900. This includes, probably those
wounded at Hanover Count House, and the minor
engagements during the last two weeks.
GEN. PRIM.
Gen. Prim end Stat reached the White House on
Tuesday evening, from the Chickahominy. He OK
pressed the belief that, owing to the state Of the
weather, lac would not DO able 10 reach Richmond
for at least two weeks. and he neans H. intimate
thai tina, was the limit that the Rebels would be
able to hold out and that for certainty the forces
would have the city within that time.
GEN. BURNSIDE.
This distinguished officer returned from the White
House this morning. having passed six hours with
Gen. Mcclellan. Gen. b. will leave f,f Wash
ngton by the bost this evening. In regard to the
action of Gov. S,anly, Gen. -. IL understood TO
give IL lis approval, and it would seem that the
public has been mised concerning it.
# would appear tina. 20 far from closing the negro
schools, he only said that in North Carolina re-
turned % tie Union with tho anii-aclool law in full
iorce, he would feel called upon 10 enforce IT, and
close tie tchOo3 Of The kind in question. Msappfe-
hcudirg Gov. SANKEY'S remArks Mr. Coiyer closed

rtari,aliy aie ttc facts IN the care.
THE HYGEM HOSPITAL.
The Hygeia Hosii'al IL TO be closed as soon as
possible on account Of me unsuableucss Of the hotel
building for hospital purposes. Experience has
shown Ilat wounded men do 10, do well there, as
they seldom DO ~ plsslered rooms, as am assured.
IL ID contemplated to construct temporary buildings
in the neighborhood az Camp Hamilton or else
where, to which tie patients will be removed. The
occupation Of the hcsels at Cape May as hospitals is
also contemplated, ANA tie removal OF a large num-
Der Of patients to THAI fayore wateringplace is not
unlikely.
