She manages the affairs of the White House (I do not mean State affafederate authorities must look with alarm to what will probably turn out to be a violation of the Monroe doctrine; and Mr. Lincoln's administration in particular cannot occupy the position attributed to it, if it be true that Mexico has authorized t indications that the boy enlisted with the consent of his parents, he was remanded back to his company.

M. on Saturday, a portion of Beauregard's force, consisting of at least, three regiments in sight, made their appearance near Minor's hill, a considerable emins, however, plain, from the efforts of the enemy to hide themselves as much as possible, that no attack was designed by Beauregard that afternoon, while the signs indicated that he might venture one by daybreak yesterday (Sunday) morning. Princegencies of the anticipated engagement, might possibly require them. By daybreak, however, the different detachments of Beauregard, previously seen in front of our lines, had disappeared. It soon became evident that they had retired from so close ju hours before. Before noon yesterday they retraced their steps and were again quietly in camp. It is evident that Beauregard's movement of the day before was a more reconnaissance in some force, to ascertain our precise position on the re

The session of the city council this evening attracts visitors, as the resolution passed by the aldermen for going into an election for Mayor on Thursday next, at 2 P. M., to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Berrett's resignation, sent in since his release from Fort Lafayette, comes up for consideration. It seems that the corporation attorney, Mr. Bradley, in his opinion declaring it unnecessary to go into a new election now, in view of Mr. Wallach having been heretofore chosen Mayor pro tem. during Mr. Berret's " disabilty," admits that had the pro tempore selection taken place in consequence of "disability" arising from sickness of the actual Mayor, and the latter had subsequently died, a new election then would be necessary.

l of the colored Population of the United States to Africa. The annual report of the Pennsylvania Colonization Society considers the practicability of the removal of the colored race from America to Africa. We make the following extract: The census of 1860 gives the number of free colored persons at 499,709, and slaves at 3,972,343, making a total of 4,440,052. By the official returns obtained from the State Department at Washington, it appears that from Sept. 31, 1843, to December 31, 1860, there arrived at the ports of the United States, by sea, from foreign lands, 4,386,441 passengers. The greater number that arrived in a single year was 400,474. From this it is evident that the free colored population of this country might emigrate to Africa or elsewhere, within a little more than a single year, and that the entire body of people of color, with the increase, might remove in less than twenty years.--Two-fifths, or $200,000,000, of the amount recently voted by Congress

Our pickets had been driven in from that point on the night before, and such demonstrations had been discovered (in the way of increased picket guards, &c.,) in that vicinity, in the course of the forenoon, as caused dispatches to be sent here that induced Gen. McClellan to hasten over there some what earlier in the day than usual. These demonstrations were the discovery by scouts from the respective commands of Gen. Smith and Gen. Fitz. John Porter, of signs of three or four strong bodies of the enemy, stretching along a line mostly concealed by woods, only four miles distant from our advanced entrenchments, from Lewinsville on the right, to nearly opposite Munson's hill on the left.
