Letter from Camp.
A Leeds Point BOY writes of q
soldiers Life aud Duties.
Camp of the 2 REGIMENT.

Camp of the Regiment,
Pennsylvania Vol, Infantry,
PENNsGRovE, n. j :, Aug. 6, 1898.
To the Editor of The Press
AT 4.5O in the morning the first call
Is sounded from clump of trees at
the head of the camp, which is situat-
ed in a grove ON the banks of the
Delaware River. The second call is
the reveille, when the men fall in line
in front of their quarters for rOll-call,
after which comes mess call at $50
when there is wild scramble for
mess-pans and tin cups to get break
last, which is generally q cup of coffee
2 pieces OF bread (called punk" by
the boys), and sometimes a spoonful
OF bean soup. but it is enough, for the
men are not very hungry i'm the
morning, and it is a funny sight to
see them in line and hear the grum-
bling about the punk" as it is called.
After breakfast is done, police-call
is sounded, which is call for seven
men and a cOpOral to assemble in
their cOmpany's street to do the work
for their company, and perhaps help
to prepare the meals for their comp
anions. At 6.45 Hospital-call sounds
and the sick and injured men assem-
BILE in front of the hospital tent, and
pills and powders are given them. In
the mean time the men are airing
their blankets on the ridgepoles OF
their tents. At 7.30 am. the call
sounds for setting up exercises, when
the men are taken to the parade
grounds, and given a half-hour of
vigorous exercise. At O'Clock re
q & hn f17o r0f
to their quarters where they have an
hour and half reation, or they can
leave camp, if they are not found
more than a mile from camp. At $50
drill-call is sounded which means two
hours and a half of good hard drill
ing for the men. Recall liz sounded at
II O'Clock and the different cOmpan-
les return to camp for dinner and
rest. Some OF the men rest and some
of them don't, as they are nearly all
young, and prefer to have a good
time. At 3.45 drill-call is sounded
for another hour and a half of hard
drilling. At SIS recall is sounded
again. and the men return to get
ready for dress parade, which is a
fine sight, when over five hundred
men are in line. After dress parade
is over comes supper, after which
there is a general scramble to get to
town to see the girls, for there are a
great many of them in town, but it is
not like Pleasantville, for here the
boys cannot stay out all night. At
10 O'Clock "taps" are sounded and
the men must be in their tents or it is
case of getting caught crossing the
guard line and then being put in the
guard house. | must not forget to
speak about the guard house for it is
the place that every visitor to camp
wishes to see the first thing as soon
as they arrive. There are at present
about sixty prisoners confined In the
guard house, mainly for absence with
out leave, although there are several
more serious cases.
1t is now time for dress parade and
| must close. Wishing Good Luck to

The Worlds Wars.
since the Birth of Christ 4,OOO,-
100000 Men Have Been
Slain I'm Hattie.


Our civil war cost 100000 lives. OF
this number 90, 900 were slain in battle.
The vast army which succumbed to dis
ease was no less than 1S4 ,331, while the
remaining 10000 or SO died of wounds
received.
At this battle of Waterloo 81, 900 men
were killed or disabled. There were
145, 900 soldiers in that great struggle,
and it is estimated that one man was
either killed or disabled for every 400
shots fired, counting both the artillery
and rife shots.
In the Crimean war 95, ,615 lives were
sacrificed, and at Borodino. when the
French and Russians fought, rs 900 men
were left dead on the battlefield. There
were 250,000 troops to combat in that
engagement.
OF the 95, ,615 men who perished in the
Crimean war $4,000 were Turks and
Russians.
At Canea, however, where the Romans
suffered the worst defeat in their his
tory, it is said that $4,000 of their
soldiers were slain. The Roman army in
| this battle consisted of LAG, 900 men
| the picked Drawn and sinew of the
empire.
In the ErancO-Prus6lan war lI,UUU
Frenchmen were killed. The Germans
fred 3O,OOO,OO rife shots to attain
this result. During the same war the
Germans fired 1853, 900 artillery charges.
Since the birth of Christ A, 600, ,000, 900
have been slain in battle. Before the be-
ginning of the Christian era the losses
cannot be estimated, owing TO the very
indistinct and inaccurate accounts that
have been handed down. In none of the
battles mentioned was dynamite used.
| In the wars of the future this terrible
| agent of destruction must be reckoned
on. Men who have studied the mortality
statistics of the past shudder at the
| thought of what may be in store in the
wars that are to come. Only recently
has the use of dynamite in land warfare
been considered safe for the army using
IT. The modern-dynamite gun, however,
las seemingly solved the problem, and
the men who go to war hereafter will
face an agent of destruction beside which
| the charges of Napoleon's old guard were
child's play.-The Mercantile 4 Financial

Ten ub-AlIianccs were repre-
ScntcI and all were enthusiastic
over the work of the order. The
principal business before the body
was the fertilizer question for the
ensuing year, and quite number
of speeches were made fav0ring
home mixed fertilizers instead of
the ready mixed or commercial
preparation. AlIsecmcd to favor
the plan Of buying the fcrtilizlng
ingredients separately and COM
posting or mixing them upon the
farm. 1T was pointed out that
there are many advantages to the
farmer in this plan, aside from
the fact that it is cheaper, and by
th', J, not meant that the fer
tilizcrs SO manipulated upon the
farms will cost less money simply,
but fol the same per cottages of
the fertiIizing ingredients, it is
cheaper than the ready mixed.
While there was a strong senti.
ment in favor of pursuing this
plan, there was no vote taken
upon the question, but it was left
open after interesting discussion
upon it.
