CAMP WALLACE, May

CAMP WALLACE, May q, 1861.
We have fully appreciated the judgmen
of our officers within the last three days il
their wise choice of camp grounds. HaG
we remained at the old camp, we must have
suffered excessively from the heat, whereas
now, with so many trees with their luxu-
RANT foliage to defend US from the melting
rays of the sun, together with the cool
breeze, which seems to blow continually,
we manage to live as comfortably as other
people. --.. -.-.
Many came from the city yesterday out
to camp, to attend divine service, and to
take a look at u.s. The-steamers Orr and
Gillum made paying trips all day At di-
vine service there were at least thousand
visitors crowded within hearing of the
speaker, and as many more about the
grounds. Rev. Mr.. White preached to the
Regiment yesterday. His sermon was
upon the preparation for death, exhorting
the soldiers, many of whom were probably
to face death soon, to see to it that they
were prepared TO meet their God. The
Sabbath was further observed by the Co.'s
emitting Battalion Drill, much to the salts
faction of the boys, although to the disap-
pointment of many visitors.
The question now agitating the Regi-
ment is who shall be our Major. In the
regular service this office would be filled
by promotion, the senior Captain receiving
the appointment, being next in rank
Should this rule be carried out in the
volunteer service, (Which is not required),
then Capt. Rugg would receive the position |
being the ranking Captain ofthe Regiment. !
He would fill the position, with becoming |
dignity and would do credit to himself if |
elected Capt's Foster, Hamill, and Robin
son, are also spoken of for the position |
Judging from the "signs of the times" |
Capt Robinson stands pre-emineutly the |
best chance, and have no doubt but that
shall record his election in my next.
Mr.. Harper, whowas shot yesterday, keeps
ID brave heart in his misfortune, and is

sincerely trust that my future conduct, IN
der whatever circumstances may be placed,
will be such as to give my friends no cause
to regret this among the many other kind
favors they have bestowed upon me, or the
confidence they have reposed in me. Such
kindness on your part, gentlemen, will tend,
. if possible, to make me love my country
better, and battle the longer in her defense

so many hard fought battles,o on the land and
