skulkers and Burglars in Richmond
The Richmond Dispatch says

Skulkers are said TO be numerous about
Richmond, Notwithstanding the vigilance
of the conscript officers and the assistance
of the detectives Many of these men,
captured and parolled on the Mississippi,
but long since exchanged and ordered to
report TO their commands, are lOunging
about the capital, some only leaving their
hiding-places by night, while others bold
ly show themselves in public places, as If
defying arrest. Our armies need every
able-bodied conscript in the Confederacy
at this time, and might be greatly strength
ened from the various departments, where
cripples, old men and ladies could readily
perform the clerkships. When Congress
meets. new levies will be called for, and
strong efforts will be made to relieve the
various departments of all conscripts, and
TO put into the field the thousands of
Young men who heretofore have beensub-
iected to the hardships of indoor labors
at fifteen hundred year, while the more
favored class in the field have been allow
ed the privilege of marching about the
country, sleeping on the cold ground,
fighting for honor and glory, and being
required to spend only eleven dollars per
month of deprecated currency.
The same paper has the following:
Burelaries are so numerous that our cit
izens will be compelled to form patrolling
parties, and thus aid the police in detect
ing and bringing to justice the gangs OF
thieves that now nightly depredate upon
private citizens in all sections OF Rich

How lhe President Spends Hia Time

la one OF his recent letters from Wash
ington 10 the Boston Journal. ''Perley'
gives some details OF the daily life of the
President. He says: ..- .
Mr.. Lincoln is an early riser, and he
thus is able 10 devote two or three hours
each morning TO his voluminous private
correspondence. besides glancing at city
paper. At nine he walks
over TO the War Office TO read such tele-
grains ss they give him, occasionally some
are withheld, and to have chat with
Gen Halleek on the military situation, IN
which he takes great interest. Return
ing to the White House. he goes through
the mornings mail, in company with n
private Secretary. Some letters are in
dorsed and sent TO the Department-oth
ers are entrusted to the Secretary, who
makes a minute of the reply which he Is
to make-and others the President retains,
that he may answer them himself Every
letter receives attention, and all which
are entitled to reply receive one, no mat
ter how they are worded, or how inele-
CANT the chirography may be.
Tuesdays and Fridays are Cabinet days,
but on the other days, visitors at the
White House are requested to wait in the
anti chamber, and send in their cards
Sometimes. before the President has fin
ished reading his mail. Louis will have
a handful of pasteboard, and from the
cards laid before him, Mr.. Lincoln has
visitors ushered in. giving precedence to
acquaintances. Three or four hours do
they pour in, in rapid succession, nine
out of ten asking offices, and patiently
does the President listen tO their applica-
tions. Care and anxiety have iurrowed
his rather homely features. yet occasion
ally he is reminded of an anecdote. and
good -humored glances beam from his clear
gray eyes, while his ringing laugh shows
that he is not used up" yet. The simple
and natural manner in which he delivers
his thoughts make him appear to those
visiting him. like an earnest, atiectionate
friend. He makes little parade of his le-
gal science, and rarely indulges in specu-
lative propositions, but states his ideas in
plain Anglo Saxon, illuminated by many
lively images and pleasing allusions, which
seem to flow as if in obedience to a resist
less impulse of nature. Some newspaper
admirer attempts 10 deny that the Presi-
dent tells stories Why. ii is rarely that
any one is in his company for fifteen min
utes without hearing a good tale, appro-
pirate to the subject talked about. Many
a metaphysical argument does he demolish
by simply telling an anecdote. which ex-
actly overturns the verbal structure.
About o'clock the President declines
seeing any more company, and often ac-
companies his wife in her carriage to take
a drive He is fond of horseback exer-
else, and when passing the summer at the
Soldiers Home, used generally To 90 To
and fro in the saddle.
The President dimes at g. and it is rare
ahat some personal friends do not grace
the round dining table, where he throws
off the cares of Office" &c, &c.
