| GUARD AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Besides the regular guard which has been sta
toned in the vicinity of the Presidents house for
| some time guard of sixty men under the COM
mand of Gen. James Lane, of Kansas, occupied the
east room and slept upon their arms last night.
This company has been organized but a day or
two, yet large force is already enrolled and the
corps 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 no one without the countersign,
Elr. Lincoln was forced to beat a retreat to the no
small amusement of the company. This company
goes on duty at the Executive mansion every night
at SO O'Clock, and will continue to guard the
White House until there is danger of an attack
upon the city.

The same train also brought Company F. Fourth

Capitol building for quarters.
| CAMP LIFE AT THE CAPITOL BUILDING.
Last night we paid visit to the Capitol which
| has been converted into temporary barracks for
| the Pennsylvania militia. We found company E.
(of this city, National Guard, the spirited voluu-
| teer company recently formed, on guard at the
north wing. They drilling, and we could but
notice the number of stalwart, soldierly looking
| men in their ranks. They are quartered in the
handsome room Revolutionary claims. Our
first business was to find whereabouts in the huge
pile constituting the Capitol building the Penn
sylvanla companies were quartered job of some
difficulty; but pioneered by Lieut.. Hitchcock, for
whose courtesy we are under obligations the thing
was done.
Two of the Pennsylvania companies were found
quartered In the luxurious committee ROOMS of the
north wing. The newly arrived soldiers had here
Brussels carpets marble wasii-stands and all that
sort OF thing, but seemed to think they should pr fer
to all this bite of something to eat as thew had
tasted nothing since hasy early breakfast at
Harrisburg. They had suffered. too, miserably
from thirst on the way, and at station where
they stopped were & lad to quench their thirst at
pool of muddy water standing in a field. This
with the hostile reception received at Baltimore
gave them pretty rude taste Of soldiers life
They took all in good spirits except the failure in

ed at midnight of night before last, by order of
Gov. Curtin, and despatched here by the O'Clock
train that left Harrisburg yesterday morning.
Many OF these volunteers are quite youthful in
appearance, but thew look to man as if there was
eight in them" The spirit which animates them
is shown by the fact that some of the compaDies

} hours sleep since the time they volunteered on
Monday, FASTENED to Harrisburg, and on their arri-
val there, almost Immediately aroused to start for
this point
Their orders were in passing through Baltimore
yesterday to pay no attention to the taunts and
provocatons heaped upon them by the secession
rowdies, and TO avoid collision in every possible
way. Some of the Pennsylvania recruits, how
) ever, who had brought along with them few
hint-loc6 muskets, could not resist the impulse
club their guns in rather demonstratiye manner
when the assaults ''came leete too thick" and
this had the eect to keep their assaiIants back
One of the Pennsylvanians had couple of his
teeth loosened by blow from a stone thrown at
him, and another received compliment OF the
same nature upon the bridge of his nose. They
seemed to think the same treatment by the Balt-
mOreans to the "Minersville boys" who will come
through armed with rifles, will result in row, as
said bows are not particularly sweet-tempered when
"sassed."
