FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, August 12.-The President
to-day had a general reception, admitting
without distinction all visitors having business
with him. He appears to be IN good health,
though excessively fatigued from the rush upon
his attention for several days past. Much OF
his time is consumed by the presentation OF
matter comparatively insignificant, but he seems
to bear the infiction with philosophic dignity.
The negro population of Washington con-
tinues to be increased by arrivals from Mary
land Entire families Of the new corners,
carrying en- their persons all their worldly
wealth, are frequently seen in our streets. A
census is being taken Of the colored population,
with view of ameliorating the condition of the
destitute and assisting the idle to employment.
The Freedmen's Bureau has commenced the
work Of establishing free schools for the colored
children. The Campbell Hospital, which is
now being divided into rooms, IS sufficiently
large enough to accommodate one thousand OF
such pupils.
The old resident negroes look on this influx
with disapprobation and jealousy, fearing the
demand for employment may have the effect OF
reducing the present rate OF wages Tor labor.
