The Colored Population. --The census taker in Washington county, Va., has found an old negress, named Peggy Gunn, 106 years old. She has a distinct recollection of events previous to the Revolution, of the Revolution itself, is in good possession of her faculties, and has always been noted for her piety and general good conduct. She was born in Eastern Virginia, and is now owned by a Mr. Scott. He also found a young negro woman, aged about twenty five, who weighs four hundred and fifty pounds! She is active and intelligent, and can get a breakfast or dinner as expeditiously as any woman of ordinary size.
