Brigadier General John Eaton, Assistant Commissioner of Refugees, Freedmen, &c., for this District, after recounting the difficuiuies waich the Bureau had to contend with, reports Operations as follows: Titles to property have been examined and determined where freedmen have wished to purchase. Cases of destitution becoming known by apy means are at once investigated, and proper measures taken for their reliet,—and a general supervision of the interests of the Ireedmen, business and social, is being exer- cised with a satisfactory degree of success. The number reported as having found employ- ment through the Intelligence Office, in this city, from July 20 to October 31, is 773; this includes only those who have contracts regis- tered helped to situatiens; 729 applications for labor bave been tilled, many of which were for fam- ilies. Several hundred dollars bave been paid by employers for labor thus obtained. Several calls for labor have been received from rail- road and mining companirs at the North, by which the mtroduction of a large element of colored labor is desired. For various reasons, these calls have not yet been answered. An Intelligence Office has seen lately opened at Alexandria, where there is a large amount of surplus labor. There are now three hospitals for freedmen im this District—one in Washington, one in Alexandria, and one at Freedmen’s Village; having in all a capacity of 300 beds. It is estimated that 6,veu, or about one-fourth of the entire colored population in the cities are now receiving instructions in tae schools, Of the improvement of the pupils, the super- intendent remarks :—“ My visits always en- courage me to persevere in this good work. The progress of the scholars is remarkable under the circumstances. They are learning very rapidly, and often surprise me by their ready and correct answers to difficult ques- tions.” I bave endeavored to have a complete cen- sus of these counties, and of the District of Columbia; but owing to the difficulty of secu- ring soldiers for this duty, have been only par- tially successiul. Returns have been received from Fairfax county. which show a total colored popula- tion of 2,941—1,562 males and ib, 21 Ti i:S are able toread, 1,121 are children under fourteen years of age. The estimated colored population of the en- tire Dastric’ BA Aiming steadily at the securing of justice, simple justice, for the negro, in spite of the re- maining dissbilities and prejudice of slavery, thoroughly convinced that this fairly done, the long-disturbing negro question was settled, I have more than anything else watched and tried to reach ail incidents and influences which should prompt this among whites and blacks, and especialiy in the administration of justice. Some of the police of this city and Georgetown at first were not disposed to be questioned in regard to their mistreatment of blacks; but that bad passed away under the alerts and faithful attention of Mr. A. © ichards, Superintendent of the Metropolitan Police: Lieutenant S. N. Clark, my efficient Acting Assistant Genersl, made repeated examina- tions in Maryland. in answer to complaints, taking affidavits, and gathering trustworthy testimony. These reveal an antagonism be- tween capital and labor hardly to be expected im a State where emancipation came by the voice of the people, and where the greatest present complaint is scarcity of labor. A lin- gering feeling of disloyalty to the Government led many otherwise respectable people to countenance the misdeeds of those prompted to personal abuse of the negro, by their ignorant rejudices and their powerlessness to secure too redress. Cases of personal assauit were numerous, the punishment of any assailant, if white, by the law, was unknown. Heeding al! the privileges of Maryland, as a State which has respected its constitutional! obligations, my endeavor has been to act not su much by direct authority, as to secure the best poesible administration of bad laws, and ex- ercise an influence in favor of their speedy amendment, to aid, as'far as 1 might, in en- forcing order, exacting good faith between em- Liaw! pad and employee—preventing injustice and fraud, and promoting ibe best interests of all classes. It is gratifying to find the num- ber of complaints steadily decreasing. PROTECTION OF LOYAL CITIZENS. In obedience to General Orders No. 3, of 1866, from the War Department, the following order bas been issued by Gen. Augur: HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT oF WASHING- tos, Washington, D. C., Jan. 15, 1866.—General Orders No. 2.—Pursuant to instructions in (#en- eral Orders No.3, from War Department, of January 12, 1566, the State and municipal courts of that portion of Virginia embraced within the limits of this department are pro- hibited from instituting proceeding againstany officer or soldier in the service of the United States, or any agent or employee of the same, for acta done by them while in said service or employment in pursuance of their military duties, or by order of their superior officers. This applies also to those who baye been at any time in the United States service or em- ployment, and since discharged. Loysl citizens in like manner are exempted from prosecution in said Virginia courts for any Scts done by them during the rebellion against any of the rebel forces, directly or indi- rectly, or by their agents and empicyees, charged with the care of abandoned lands or lantations, or the possession or custody ot any kina of property used or possessed under the aathority of the President of the United States, or of avy civil or military department of the Government. Nor will any prosecution be permitted against colored persons for any offense for which white persons are not, in like manner. prosecuted and punished. All ms of the class named are absolved from any and ali damages and penalties in- flicted by said courts in violation of the pro- visions of this order, and all suits pending of this nature will be discontinued. Commanders of posts and provost judges will be vigilant to prevent any violation of this order, and to this end they will arrest all offenders under it, and report the facts immediately to these head- quarters. 2 By command of Major General ©. (. Angur. J. H. Tayior, Ass’t Adyt General. OUR ABMY. The Secretary of War, in compliance witha Senate resolution, gives information of the officers and men of the regular army, how many and where stationed, with a similar list of General officers of volunteers. It seems that there is yetin the volunteer service 47 Major Generals and 161 Brigadier Generals. Of the former, 3 are commanding districts, 17 com- manding depsrtments,5 are on special duty, 1 is op leave, and 21 are ordered to be mustered out. Of the latter 23 are commanding districts and departments, 6 are on courts martial, 6 are Assistant Commissioners in Freédmen’s Bu- | reaus, 10 on other special duty, 4 on leave, and 102 are ordered to be mustered out. This leaves in the service 26 Major Generals and 49 Briga- | duer Generals. ‘The Highest in rank in the regular army ate as follows: Lieutenant General, Grant; Major Generale, Halleck, Sherman, Meade, Sheridan | and Thomas. The Brigadier Generals, Irvin McDowell, W. S. Rosecrans, Philip St. George Cooke, John Pope, Joseph Hooker, W. 5. Hancock, John M. Schofleld, Howard, A. H. Terry and J. A. Rawlings. The total nom- ber of officers and men in the regular army is 1,124 officers and 21,79 men, an aggregate of 25,919. Of the officers, 100 cavalry are absent, | 113 artillery and 363 infantry. Of the num. | | ber, 5472 are recruits, assigned since Iast re- turn. Ail the regiments except the 17th are aseigned to military departments, and as fast as recruits are received the unorganized com- panies are formed and put en route for place of service. Companies already organized are receiving recruits. About 3,000 men Per month | are being enlisted Prrsowat.— We sre assured from good sources that our “Personal” of a day or two since, on Walt Whitman, is in its tone anjust to that gentieman. Mr. Whitman was dis- missed from a Department office here for being tbe author of a m, “Leaves of Grass.” One of hie friends has written a pamphlet, «The Good Gray Poet,” criticgising that dismissal for such a reason. That is, in brief, tbe amount of probably as many more have been | thecase. We learn from those who knew him well that Mr. Whitman's character 4s & man is of the highest type, and that, at any rate, bis intentions, in his ms, are unexception- able. --- Why is President Johnson like Chim- berazo?

THE DIFFICULTIES ON THE RIO GRANDE. We doubt not our Government will promptly notify the United States military officers on the Rio Grande that the neutrality laws must be strictly observed, so far as it is in their province to ensure it. 1t would seem by the accounts. both from Imperial and United States sources, that the «fillibasters” are using our soil with no little assurance as a point from which to make raids into Mexico, and that they are also using our territory as a place ef repository for their plunder taken in their raids. Our Government has its own policy for dealing with the question of Mexico and French occypation, and will not be apt tosuffer its dignity to be compromised by the sinister efforts of parties essaying to embroil us nolens volens in difficulties with the French.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT ARREST AND Re- COVERY OF STOLEN Goops.—On the Zid of De- cember last, the residence of Senor Don F. 5. Asta Bureago, the Chilian Minister, on I street, near Vermont avenue, was entered and rob- bed of a large quantity of valuable goods. The case Was reported to the police department, and since that time Detectives Clarvoe and McDevitt, with their usual vigilance and ac- tivity, have been working to recover the prop- erty and arrest the thief. Yesterday their plans succeeded, and they arrested a young negro named John O. Butler, who for several years past has been serving in the families of various Wealthy gentlemen, and has had opportunities ot robbing his employers and their acquaint- ances, of which he has taken advantage, as ap- ge by the result of the detectives operations. he officers went to Butler’s house, on Isth. near L street, and to a pawn office, where he had been dealing, and recovered a cream jug, liquor bowl, slop bowl, tea pot, all silver, a set of tools, & yaluable marble clock, a rosewood box, a Smith & Wesson pistol, a box of paints, a gold coin, a thermometer, three tdies, one Japanese box, a large album, a book, “The Herdes of Europe,” talued at $167—identified asthe Chilian Minister's prop- erty.

Townsend, who arrived here on Saturday night last, by way of Annapolis, were paid off at the Soldiers’ Kest. This regiment was made up in this District abont three years since and numbered about £50 on their muster out. In consequence of their arrival rents went up quite suddenly in the neighborhood, and little shanties by 10 feet, or less in dimensions, commanded over $60 per week rent, and every place about was occupied, but we hear that the dealers did net reap as great aharvestas they had expected, most of the men sending their money to the Freedmen’s Saving Bank. Besides dealers there was quite a number of colored girls of loose habits about to ply their vocation, some of whom did not confine themselves to the neigbborhood of the barracks. Yesterday morning a genteelly dressed and rather respectable looking white man sopeees to be smitten with a mulatto girl, and after walking about the Depot he escorted her into the Refreshment Saloon where they were in- formed that they could not be accommodated and they left. pee eae Cee CHARGE oF SwinpLine.—This morning, a colored man named Barnard Lipscomb went to Justice Morsell and complained that he had been swindled out of $500 “ Another colored man namea Caleb Brown. ipscomb stated to Justice Morsell that about seven weeks ago he was at Brown's bouse and told him he had the money. Brown asked him to let him (Brown) keep the money for him, and promised that if he lost it he would make it good. Brown said he owned the house he lived in and besides that had $1,600 in bank. Lipscomb, who is from Virginia, says he Jet him have the money to keep for him. About a week ago he went to Brown and asked for the money. Brown took 8 gun and told him if he did not leave he would shoot him. Last night he went to Brown again with a policeman and asked for the money, and Brown replied that he had lost all of Lips- eomb’s money and his own too. After bearing the statement trom Lipscomb, the Justice told ey that he (the Justice) could do nothing in the case. ——— SMALL-Pox 1N THE CiTty.—The numper of cases of emall-pox among the egret megs tion of Washington, it will be gratifying to know, is daily diminishing. There can be little doubt, hewever, that the disease, if at all ne- glected, would seg cass ina ee type; but through the timely precautions o the eurgeon-in-chief of the Freedmen’s Bureau of district, Dr. R. Reybarn, in ordering the vaccination of the colored people, and the diligence of the subordinate surgeons, who take pains to search out cases that are kept concealed, and who adopt rigid sanitary meas- ures with those tamilies which have been vis- ited by the disease, the smali-pox has been kept under control. ee ATxurer Cxase.—Last night, about 9 o'clock Superintendent Richards, Assistant Superin- tendent Reed, with detectives Claryoe and McDevitt, were taking observations in the vicin- ity of H, between 17th and 18th streets, and met & negro with a barrel of flour on a child’s snow sled, carrying it off. As soon as he recognized the officers he let go his sled and ran; the offi- cers pursuing through the snow ard mad in the alleys of the neighborhood. The fellow might have been taken several times by parties he passed, but they did not seem disposed to catch athief. The officers fired several shots at him, but he escaped. The flour remains to be identified. ES GOVERNMENT Sates.—The sales of public buildings, &c., under the direction ot Lieuten- ant Colonel James M.
