Beside the regular guard which bas been sta- tioned in the vicinity of the Presiaent’s House for some time, a guard of sixty under the com- mand of Gen Jamwes Lane of Kansas, occupied the east-room and slept upon their arms jast night. “Lis company has been organized but a day or two, yet a lorve force is alreedy enrolled, and the corys increasing rapidly. Late in the evening the President attempted to enter the East-room, but as the sentinel at the door had received orders to admit none without the countersign, Mr. Lin- coln was forced to beat a retreat, to the no small amusement of the company.

CAMP LIFE AT THE CAPITOL BUILDING. = Last night we paid a visitto the Capitol, which | _ To Tax has been converted into temporary barracks for the Pennsylvania militia We found compan: EF, (of this city,) National Guard, the spirited vol- unteer company recently formed, on gurrd at the north wing. They were deilling and we could but notice the number of stalwart, soidierly look- ing man in thelrranks. They are quartered in the handsome room on Revolutionary claims Our first business was to find whereabouts in the huge pile constituting the Capitol building the Pennsylvania companies were quartered, a job of some difficulty, but pioneered by Lieut. Hitch- trons, the thing was done. Two of the Peunsylvauia companies we found uartered in the luxurious committee rooms of te north wing. The newly arrived soldiers had bere Brussels carpets, marble washstands, and all that sort of thing, but seemed to think they should prefer to all this to have a bite of something to eat, ag they had tasted nothing since a hasty early breakfast at Harrisburg. They had suffered, too, | {ers miserably from thirst on the way, and at one station where they stopped were glad to quench their thir-tata pool pe guar water standing inj ev: afield. This, with the bostile reception received at Baltiniore, gave them a pretty rude taste of soldiers’ life. They took all in good spirits ex- cept the failure in the commissariat department at their quarters. Some bacon sides had been served out in the basement, (Senate kitchen re- fectory,) where a fire had been started, and some of the soldiers were struggling with a dull knife to chip off 2 rasher, but nothing seemed to be in REMEDIES fees for the hungry men.
