THEY ARE DOING,
c,-respondence of The Alleghanian.
CAMP TENxELLY, 4ugust II, 1861.
Within the past few weeks the Cambria
cu,rds have dispensed with their Comp
Wright pastimes and amusements, and are
beginning to play the soldier in dead ear
nest. We are now eneamped about six
miles from Washington, up the Potomac
river, or an open, elevated piece of ground,
The location is quite pleasant one. a
small stream of water meanders by In
close proximity, furnishing us with the
Eherewithal to do our washing, etc. We
se also blessed with excellent drinking
water.
It is extremely warm here, but by no
means unhealthy The effect of the heat
in this climate is altogether different from
that on the mountain; for | find that the
hotter the weather the healthier it is.
The l1th regiment has had its turn on
picket. We started out on Friday even
ing. and returned to camp at Z. NJ. on
Saturday. Co. A. guarded about mile
and half of a road None of the pickets
we're in any wise disturbed, and we re-
turned without even sight of a secesher
We are frequently aroused from our soft
sandy beds by reports Of advancing foes,
and placed under arms for an hour or two !;
but they never amount to anything, and we
resign ourselves to our blankets again and
dream of the fierce fighting we didn't do
There are eight regiments encamped
here, almost within rife-shot of each 9th
eE and all Pennsylvanians.
This is delightful climate to live in.
Enough rain falls to keep up good sup
ply of water, and fruit of all kinds is abun-
dant.
The company, as general thing, enjoy
good health. Provisions are plenty, and
ola good quality.
| trust your readers will not cease to
remember us and write to us because we
have left the State Direct all letters and
other documents to Washington city, as
heretofore, and they will be forwarded af-
ter the regiment. K.

DIED-In this place, on Tuesday, 18th
inst, of diptheria, LAURA, daughter of
James and Mary Myers, in the eighth
year of her age.
Gone in her childish purity,
Out from her golden day.
Fading away in the light so sweet,
Where the silver stars and the sunbeams meet,
Paving path for her silent feet
Over the silent way.
Over her bosom tenderly,
The pearl-white hands are pressed
The lashes lie on her cheeks so thin,
Where the softened blush of the rose hath been, |
Shu ting the blue of her eyes within
The pure lids closed in rest.

haps the reason of our declination of its

strong enough-without doubt

ToURNAMENT.-Ato tourname Mt, in i'm

We notice that in many places the patriotic

lists of the traitors whose foul presence poll

be eminently serviceable for future use, and
its completion would be attended with little

Just so, and the quill-driver of that paper
is very small beer politician himself.
BUTTER.-This popular article of diet,
which has been exceedingly plenty all
summer, has suddenly grown very scarce
in this neck O timber. Perhaps the low

10 cents per pound-accounts for the milk
in the cocoa.
pATRIOTIC.-On Saturday afternoon
last, "a large Star Spangled Banner was
raised opposite the hotel of Joseph Cole,
