CAMP RUcKER,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9Th, 1861.

CAMP RUCKER,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9Th, 1861.
We wrote you short time since
from this city, giving you a partial sum-
mary of the incidents of our journey
bither, together with hasty sketch of
our situation here, and what was going
on around us. AT this writing, after
giving you limited insight into mat
ters pertaining to the grand army of
the Union-we shall endeavor more
particularly to delineate the main,
though perhaps not the most attractive
feature of camp life. To attempt to
give anything like an accurate delinea-
alton of the latter would require more
fertile Imagination, and far more
ready pen than your verdant cores
pondent is possessed OF.
In regard to the magnitude and
strength of the immense army now in
the field in defense of the Union, it is
beyond the power of one not immsdi-
ately connected with the War Depart
ment, to give anything like an ac-
curate statement. Its numeracle
strength is greater than that of any
army heretofore accumulated on this
continent, and may possibly be super
rior to that of any army ever brought
together i'm the old world. In this view
of the case, of course we include all
the available force now engaged in this
war, or held in readiness to assist in its
prosecution. The expenses accruing
to the Government for the maintenance
and support of force so formidable in
number, must of necessity be enormous;
and in order to give your readers a
faint idea as to the legitimate expenses
thus accrued upon the Government, we
will simply give you the amount al.
lowed daily according to the " Army
Regulations" for the sustenance of an
army of 25O,oOO men, and leave them
to deduce for themselves the grand
total, after having included their equip.
ments, clothing, pay, &c.
The army of 25O,0OO men is allowed
daily-l56,250 pounds of salt or fresh
beef; o373 barrels of pork; 1,4s4 bar
rels, ls4 pounds of -four; 6o5 bushels o

rice; $4,000 pounds of coffee or il
lieu therefor, $3.50 pounds of tea; 81,
500 pounds of sugar; $500 gallons o
vinegar; $500 pounds candles; 10.

NEAR CAMP RUcKER,

WASHINGTON, ID. e., Nov. a. 1851
This letter you will see bears date at
its commencement, about the first of
this month. In consequence of having
about so much to do in each day, and
there being only about SO many hours
to do it in, we found it necessarily con-
venient to lay our letter " on the table"
which according to Parliamentary u.s.
ages, wonld be understood as T" indefi-
nitely postponed" While it was thus
lying entombed between the lids of one
of our company books, we were taken
sick, and made our way to a private
house near our camp, where we now
are, seated at the little round centre
table, drawn up before the fireplace,
from which emanates an occasional
spasmodic flicker, indicative only of the
dying condition of the few fragments
of fuel composing the Gre. We looE
upon those few smouldering embers
and how suggestive! and what signifi
cant inferences may be drawn! Webe
hold the firm wood enveloped in flames
and the lurid blaze darts upward in th'
| full vigor and strength of its might
seemingly glad to perform its allotet
part, until finally, its vital force is spent
and it gradually sinks lower and lower

The Great Review...7O, 900 Men in Line
All Washington has Holiday.

Wednesday was day long to be re
membered by the Army of the Poto
mac, and the tens of thousands of peo.
pie who witnessed the grand review oi
10000 men at Bailey's Cross Roads.
The distance was about ten miles from
Washington, via Long Bridge and
Hunters Chapel. From an early hour
of the morning the road was lined with
carriages and pedestrians, and Wash
ington was quite stripped of people
and horses. There was free 6 go" to
the review, but sentinels were sta
taioned all along the road to prevent
persons from turning off the direct
course. At Hunters Chapel the line
was turned to the right to Balls Cross
Roads, and thence past Upton's Hill to
Taylor's tavern, where, turning to the
left again, the crowd were brought
upon Munson's Hill, below which wa.
the ground for the review. The scene
along the route beggars all description.
Every man, woman, and child in Wash
Iington and the vicinity, who could get
away was en- route for the scene of ac-
ton. The crowd all passed near Falls
Church, about two miles from where
the rebel cavalry made the dash at eur
pickets at Brush's Farm two days
before. Wherever the eye could re ach,
there was nothing to be noticed by the
strangers but tents, forts and soldiers.
No fences remains, but few houses, and
wars declaration is everywhere visible.
Ten forti6cations, with siege guns
bristling bayonets of the guard, met
our gaze on the way ont. Upon the
peak of Munson's Hill was obtained a
view that, perhaps, can be seen bat
once in a lifetime. Washington, in the
distance, can be plainly seen, with its
white doom; and in the valley towards
Bailey's Cross Roads, or directly east
lies the Army of the Potomac. The
cavalry, artillery and infantry marched
in all directions in space two mile,
long and one wide. All the fences ant
houses had been ruined, and the grount
happened to be very dry in the field
which were so holly contested by th'
pickets of the contending armies las
summer, and where so many of ou
pickets were shot. The rebel forts OF
Munson's and Mason's Hills wer'
lsources of much attraction.
At twelve o'clock, noon, cortage
consisting of President Lincoln an,
