The Photograph Gallery of camp undev charge
of Mr.. Jones, an old and experienced hand at
the business, is visited daily by the soldiers hav
ing their bronzed faces taken to send to families
and friends. The pictures taken in that estab-
lishment can compete with any in our principal
cities, and the charges moderate. Mr.. Jones,
always obliging to the soldier allows no room
for complaint on the part of his work. He is a
regular pluribus Erin ga brath.

Corps-the detachment under command of Col
Woolworth-perform the guard duty of camp.
Col. Wolworth has always been found prompt
and efficient in the discharge of the duties of his
command. Ten barracks for the guard are near
ly finished Gust outside of the camp,) capable of
accommodating one thousand men.
The Sanitary Commission has established a
branch in this camp, their agent being Miss Amy
M. Bradley. Miss A. M. Bradley is one of the
noble ladies of the country whose voluntary SER
vices has done much good to the soldiers having
connection with Convalescent Camp. Articles
of clothing not allowed by the government
always be obtained from Miss A. M. Bradley
In many cases where soldiers We're unable to
draw their long due pay, on account of wrong
fully being accounted for as absent without
leave, through the exertions of this kind-hearted
lady, the sufferings of soldiers families were
greatly relieved by the replttances OF their back
pay. To the discharged soldier, in saving him
from the hands of scheming agents in Wash

ed. Miss A. M. Bradley be truly styled the
:" soldiers friend.'
THE SOLDIERS LIBRARY.
A Soldiers Library has been established in
camp, the building being large and well adapted
for it's use. From twelve to fifteen hundred
volumes of reading matter are issued to the SOL
diers daily. The Library is under charge of Mr..

CONCLUDED FROM LAST wEEK.)
Attached to the camp are two large kitchens
and dining rooms. The kitchens capable
of cooking rations thoroughly, for ten to fifteen
thousand men. The dining rooms fitted up
with cups, plates, knives and forks, which are
retained in the rooms. The men eat their rations
in the dining rooms-marched thereto in two
ranks under the charge of their wardmaster.
No cooking is allowed outside of the kitchens
cooks being detailed for that purpose. By that
means good and substantial rations are given the
soldier and much labor saved the men.
The mode of receiving men in camp-as fol-
lows Men arrive in camp daily from the Sol
diers' Rest, Washington, by railroad-a branch
of the track having been laid inside the lines of
camp. The men are drawn up in line in front
of the receiving office, under charge of the Ser
geant Maor they are surrounded by guard,
when Surgeon examines each man. Those
whom he thinks yet unfit for service are retained
in Convalescent Camp, their names recorded in
the Sergeant Majors book, and then distributed
to the various divisions according to the regi-
ments which they represent, or hospitals, as the
case may be- Those fit for duty--their names
are Ju0 uuty OOOl> stIo JileL lOI
to Camp of Distribution, to await transportation
to their respective regiments in the manner ndi-
Gated hereafter.
The post-office of camp, under the charge of
Captain Thomas III. Marston, SD Penna. Vols,
receives and delivers on an. average, each week,
fifteen thousand letters for the soldiers-many of
the letters containing money received and for
warded to families and friends of the soldiers.
The amount of uncalled for letters sent to the
Dead Letter Office, is, on an average, three hun
bred and fifty per week. The mail is sent out of
camp daily at o'clock each morning, and re-
ceived at ii o'clock the same day. The arrange
ments of said office complete that mail
of from two to five thousand letters can be
delivered to their rightful owners inside of two
hours / think the postal arrangements can
compare safely with many post-offices in large
cities. , 1.
Adams Express Company has established an
agencyin camp for the delivery of all packages
addressed to soldiers in camp, and for the for
warding of monies to the families of soldiers.
A vast amount of money is sent per express
monthly from this camp. -r II r,, II

MUSINGS.

Far away in the NOrthland,
Around the homestead hearth,
Is gathered the group of loved ones,
The dearest to me on earth;
And while the chill wind RACES,
Then sobbing, dies away,
love to think of their safety,
On this bleak Winters day.
know that thousand hearth stones,
AS dear as mine to me,
Where erst group would gather
In innocence and glee,
Now echo but the football
OF strangers on the floor;
Or wait in solemn silence
For those that come no more.
Ten thousand hearts are blighted
Their hopes in ruin lie;
Ten thousand souls in anguish
Send up their wailing cry;
"When, when, oh God of mercy!
Shall thine avenging arm
Be stayed-the bow of promise
Succeed the raging storm.
But though their anguished pleading
Ariseth night and day,
No dawning light appeareth,
Not cen a cheering ray
Stern Justice, yet unbending
Still guides the awful car,
And still the nation rendeth
With internec1ne war.
Amidst the grief and sadness
Wrought by this tide of ill,
Why is my home unblighted,
My heart unburdened still?
Save in sympathetic sorrow,
l weep with those who weep,
And think of the many noble,
Who sleep their last long, sleep.
Thou knOwest, and Thou only
Why, in Thy chosen way,
Some wait a longer season,
Some early pass, for aye,
Grant only, Heavenly Father,
Our work be nobly done;
Then welcome be the Angel,
Thou send'st to call us home
Whether on field of conflict,
Amidst the lannon's roar,
Or by the quiet home-hearth,
We gently near the shore;
Let but voice from Heaven,
Whisper the words, "well done,''
Unmurmuring We will spare them,
Unmurmuring we will come.
