all the doors bebiud him. The telegraph

received upon 1t up TO noon that related TO
the President. The guard Of soldiers still
continued on duty this morning. Their
tents were still M, but they would only
serve their present watch out, and then
leave. There are no bulletins and
no buIletin-snatchers about. A rejected
sping-bed lies on the White House
porch. Otherwise there are no signs that

place. The bulletins that came from the
outside telling Of the Presidents progress
10 Long Branch were read with interest and
satisfaction by the few in the house. The
