ANOTHER ENCAMPMENT.-The first Pennsyl

from their quarters at the Capitol, yesterday
morning, to the neighborhood Of Kalorama,
where they proceeded to pitch their tents for
an encampment As they marched up the

with their baggage, they attracted much atten.
ton.
COMPLAINTS hear much mplaint
among the soldiers arriving in the city with re.
gard to the manner in which the duty Of re-
ceiving and assigning them to their quarters is
performed. Half the time, when the soldiers
arrive during the night, there is no one at the
depot to receive them, and they are obliged to
wander all over the city sometimes before they
can find shelter. The noble manner in which
these men have come forth in defence of their
country deserves better treatment at the hands
of those whose duty it is to attend to these mat.
ters.

firing of guns in or about quarters, or in the
