CAMP WRIGHT, Jsae l6, 1861.
...,oudence of The Alleghanian.
We arrived in camp at 2 O'Clock 2. NJ,
wednesday, 18th inst, after a journey
f,5ou. eight hours, during which moth
=, Of interest occurred.
. company OF Somerset boys, bound
| &, Camp wilkins, got on the train at
s,sepsburg. They were tine looking fell
'r. and appeared as if little bit Of
lining would come altogether in their
E1s.
After parting with them at Pittsburg,
=, took the cars on the Allegheny Valley
p.Iroad, and were soon in camp
p.re We dined for the first time, on crack
=, and pies. This operation over, we
.nmenced putting UP tents, and 10y or
is,ock had ourselves pretty comfortably
.,.i for camp sleep. We next partook
{ . regular old. supper Of beans, pork,
e,f potatoes, crackers ard coffee, served
:, oa pine boards-all but the coffee,
.f;.b was distributed in tin-cups. We
IT. minus plates for a couple of days,
Il. that didn't lessen the novelty Of camp
E:-on the contrary, it rather added to it.
What we stand most in need Of now are
|n1Lets. The first few nights after our
n,yal we're cold-rather cold, in fact, to
.sp On bare boards without covering
u. notwithstanding this, not a murmur
ra heard from any of the company. The
r,iority Of US have made arrangements
| ro5ide ourselves with haps, blankets,
IL, 50 that We will shortly be enabled to
| 70. ".iged natures sweet rcstorer, baImy
ap," without danger of getting our toes
m.jitten in the meantime.
Th. regulations OF the camp have been
| me Of the best heretofore, but much
scter orders were issued last night,
F I.ilh viii have tie effect Of producing
..s system in our midst
Today being Sunday, several ministers
tie Gospel are in camp. Divine ser
:t vas held in the quarters of the Erie
aginent, the sermon being delivered by
.:iT Chaplain.
We are all in good health and splendid
rH;s. We have plenty to eat, good
ping water to drink, and nice cool
;seao :, inv;gora:c us. The company
:; been called out several times to dis
alae crowds and quell riots Yesterday
rtliuS we were out on dress parade.
With regard 20 our officers, it is the
nasFa. sentiment of the company that
&ey c. more worthy set of men could
have been selected to Ell their respec-
7' o1ces. Should any Of our Cambria
MY friends pay a visit to Camp Wright,
l;! viii find Captain LitzinGer and his
lso:eaants where all good officers should
s-8ith their men.
The ladies' OF Ebcnsburg (God bless
zen have our heartfelt thanks for
F'aJ tavors. The havelocks, pocket ca
3 pins, needles, etc, with which they
a'i4ed US are very useful in our present
'a;ion. May the lot of each and every
tot them eventually be that for which
He fghting-L Union forever!
