The Richmond Whig says that the last reliable intelligence represents that Old Abe had been beastly intoxicated for the previous thirty-six consecutive hours, and that eighty Border Ruffians, from Kansas, under the command of Lane, occupied the East Room to guard His Majesty's slumbers.
It is broadly hinted in a Washington paper, that his guard exerts a despotic control over the Presidential inmate — that all his decrees are of its inspiration.
