ceives two barrels twice day. Howev
er, ! understand that arrangements ar,
making for plentiful supply Of water
by means Of pipes. The situation Of the
camp, under the hills, will render Il YER,
warm, when hot weather comes on
Perhaps, however we shall fnd warmer
quarters on the plains Of Virginia, before
the troops at Camp Dcnnisop experience
the broihng heat Of July sun.
ROMANCE rs elMr.
ltwould not be expected tha, so many
individuals could be assembled, without
Ga romance in real HGc." Camp Denni-
son, not behind, will not fail to Furnish
its quota Of food for the conversation Of
sentimental ycung ladies and susceptible
young men. II seems that a discovery
has recently been made, in the eleventh
Regiment, which has resulted in dmin-
ishing the number in the ranks. The
circumstances are Rs follows; A young
man enlisted, some three or four weeks
since, in tic Hamilton Guards. A day
or two amer boyish looking young fell
low (D applied and was enlisted into the
company. II was observed that the two
were well acquainted and seemed to enjoy
each others society very much. No no.
tico was taken Of this, however, and the
boyish (ond by the way handsome look
ing) recruit kept place in tho ranks, do
ing duty as a soldier, and submitting tu
the severe experience 70 which volun-
teors have been subject in Camp Dcuni-
son. But, day or two since, said re-
cruitreported himself (l) at Head Quar-
tiers and asked for private converse
ton with the Colonel Of the Regiment.
The interview being granted, il is sup
posed some interesting conversation
trunspiref. As this is an 'ower true tale
| will not attempt 10 relate the convcr-
sation. Suffice it to say, that at the con-
clusion of the conference, there was one
less soldier and one more ,roman In camp
Dcnnison. The lady is young and han6-
some, and said to be respectfully connec-
ted. She had read some Of Mrs. South
wor this novels, and undoubtedly consid-
cred herself Opropcr subject for hero
inc. She discovered, that such things
are pretticr to read about than to do
She will have a fr rce passage on the ruil
road, to some place where she can
await quietly the event of the war
Her lover will undoubtedly fight more
valiantly, when he thinks Of her dcyo-
tion.
THE TIFFIN BOYs.
The health of the gallant Tifn Boys"
is generally good. They have passed
ihr- r h.rlsb;n L,,,
they have stood Il liRe me- ,s'l'" ~ mn
only two men sick. One ofthese (Hcn-
ry Briner) has the Rheumatism but |
think he will soon be up again. Fran
cis Bubcock has slight attack of the
ague. Several have colds, but none are
seriously i'll. The hospital of the camp
is but poorly organized. There is not
very large number sick. / visited the
different rooms this morning, and found
about forty in. / doubt if any town of
1000 inhabitants in this State could re-
port less number on the sick list
This damp weather is very unfavorable
for the sick. Hospitals will be rapidly
erected for each regiment. At present
an old barn is used for that purpose.
Letters have been received here from
reliable sources, stating that II ls repor-
ted in Tifin that the TAin boys com
plaincd bitterly of the citizens Of that
place, os being deficient in generosity
and bentvolencc, for failing to provide
for the wants and necessities Of the com
Pany. Nothing could be farther from
the truth. The TiAin boys do not hold
that thepeople Of your town are under
ANY obligations whatever to furnish them
with comforts Of any kind They IRE
not suffering only in their feelings-as
the Government do not give them hght
soon enough.
They are very thankful for the interest
manifested in their wolfhre. The boxes
Of provisions were duly received and
"thoir contents notod.p
In conclusion, let mo invite those who
wish to know our condition TO visit our
camp, We will furnish them with the
best bean soup we have in the house
with plenty Of good bread and pork and
at night or in the rain we win give them
a corner Of soldiers blanket.
We had he happiness Of a visit from
some Of our lady friends of Tifin and
were highly rejoiced to see them. A
few doys since silas ST. John paid Us a
short visit, and promiseJ % long one in
a few days. Letters to Tifin boys should
be directed in the 1of the Captain,
Company A. 9Th Regiment Excuse
this long and disconnected letter. The
rain has ceused me 70 shin my quarters
several times, and | have written it in
room where fifteen persons were con
versing and moving about. aaals.al Il
