CAMP Lirs AT THE CAPITOL Last night we paid a visit to the Capitol, which has been converted into temporary Dirracks for the Pennsylvania militia We found company (of this city.) nnl Guard, tbe spirited volunteer cotncanv recently formed, on pc-trd at the north wing'. They wer? drilling and wo could but otic the number of stalwart, soldierly looking man In thslr ranks. Ttev are quartered la the handsome room Revolutionary claims Our first business was to find whereabouts lu the huge pile cor tilting the Capitol building the Pennsylvania companies were quartered, a jab of some difficulty, but pioneered by Lieut Hitchcock, for whose courtesy we are under obligations. the thing was done. Two of the Pennsylvania companies we found Guarter-d in the luxurious committee momi of the north wine.

Tne newly arrived soldiers had herA niarhU -11 that tort of thing, but teemed to think they should prefer to all this to have a bite of something to rat. as ttiev bad tasted nothing since a hastv early breakfast at Hr.iriibqrg. Tbey bad suffered, too, mlierably from thirst on the wjv, and at one station where tbey stopped were jjlsd to their thir-t at a pool ot muddy water standing in field. This, with the hostile reception received at Baltimore, gave them a pretty rude Uste of life Thev took all in good spirlis except the failure in the commissariat department at their quarters Home bacon sides had been srrved out In ths basement, (Senate kitchen refectory,) where a fire had been started, aud some of the soldiers were struggling with a dull knife to chip off rasher, but nothing seemed to be In readint-ss for the hungry men. Col Talt, and other of onr local military, on bearing the state of things, exerted themselves effectually to hurry up the cakes for the starved l'ennsylvanians.

the three Pennsylvania companies stationed in the south wiug of the Capitol were faring better, we found, as some of the Capitol employees had been laboring to get things in readiness In the House refectories, we found th- work of brelll na and frvinir fresh and aaJt going on "briskly, while numerous and containing oiber edibles were bel'ig depleted of their contents. Ascending to tbe Hall, we found nearly every seat and all tbe sofos of that big room occupied with soldiers In the center of the room the Riugold Artillery located, and the wings were occupied by two othei Pennsylvania companies. Tbe ij ugcupauw ui win were Wiling roUlfertable and those tn the chairs were ahnovt tn a man engaged in writing. We dirr say that not than live hundred letters wt re penned last night from the Capitol building to the ves ard sweelhrarfs the soldiers '-left behind in Pennsylvania. The Riujjold Artillery is a thoroughly drilled, handsome cusnpany It has four twelve pounders, which follow tbein by tbe cars Tbe other companies are mostly unarmed, being hasty levies of volunteers jastarrived at Harrlsburgand awakened at midnight of night before laat, by order of Oov.
