OUR ARMY CORRESPONDENCE. Camp Scott, ) ' York, Pa., May 12, 1861. j Messrs. Editors: —l take occason, to day, after an interval of one week, to ad dress you a few lines by way of “posting” you aud the readers of the Tribune in regard to affairs at Camp Scott'. In my ibrpier letters I believe I in formed you tluit we were all enjoying very good health, especially the members of our company, indeed, when we take into con sideration the exposure to inclement wea ther that we have been subject to since our entrance into the afuiy, and also that a large number of us have heretofore been strangers to such exposure, the wonder is all the greater that we escape so well.—- But, by way of explanation as to this ex traordinary good health, I would remind you that cheerfulness and lightness of heart are great promoters of good health, and not one company in the camp e:joy this blessing to a greater extent than the “ Rifles,” commanded by Captain Lloyd. Not a man ot us, I beiievc, has yet been under; the advice of the physician; altho’ some of us arise from our downy beds of straw, at the call of the reveille, complain ing somewhat of pains in the head (?) Our company continue to exercise the drill every day, and since our arrival here I can, perceive a grcat improvement in our different manoeuvres on the field.— Had we the privileges, and experience of older companies I\ believe we could com pete with any in the army. A great many of us—(l speak knowingly)—have become’ unconcerned iu regard to excelling in the drill, from the fact that wc .conceive our selves scurvily treated in being compelled to use “ those horrid muskets.” I, for one, would not, have joined the company had I suspected anything of this kind, and a largo number are of the same opinion; the cause, however, is beyond the control of our captain, whom we believe to. have done everything in his power for us. Yesterday (Saturday,) we received the lasp Of our clothing, and now patiently await our accoutrements, in order that we may be enabled to enter more fully into active service,, and do justice to the de-' inands of our country. Orfr dress consists .of jean pants, blue blouse, (fitting like a coat on a yard-stick,) a blue cap, two pair of drawers, two undershirts, two pair of woolen two pair of the [independent in everything.] roughest-made coarse shoes you ever saw. These articles were all dealt out to us irrespective of size or fit, and it became us to suit ourselves afterward as best we could. I received a pair of shoes large enough for the largest man in Blair county, with plenty of room to spare for corns, and a number 4 sets free and easy on my foot. Not a man in the camp could wear them! I went to town in hope of exchanging them for a smaller pair, but found the stores overstocked with Uncle Sams’s ware, so I sold them for enough to pay for half soling my own. Another member of bur company, Harry B , has been busily employed changing the pants and coats to fit the wearers. We present rather a fine appearance in our new dress, especially when on drill, and when we get our car tridge-boxes, knapsacks, belts, etc., we shall no doubt look quite warlike. 1 have heretofore despaired of our pro ficiency in the use of the clumsy musket, but indeed' we arc all doing finely under the instruction; of Lieut. S. Potts. This officer superintends all our drills, in com pany with the captain, and seems to take pleasure in learning us all he can;—pleas ure or not on his part, he certainly takes great pains to instruct us. This gentle man is certainly winning many friends in the cafnp, by his kindness and sociability to tie members not only of the “ Rifles,” but those of the camp. When on drill ho sustains the dignity and firmness of the commanding officer, and on fatigue he is a fellow soldier and a gentleman. Some of us have hoped that his merits might be suitably rewarded; indeed some have hinted at captaincy in case our captain should receive a higher appointment.— There is one thing certain—he is a great favorite with the company. I hope the gentleman will pardon this candid expres sion of an honest opinion. To-day the “ Rifles” went to town cn masse, for the first time since our arrival in this place. We marched down to the creek, ground our arms, and soon plunged into the placid waters of the Godorus.— After exercising ourselves in the most health-inspiring art of swimming and bathing, the company re-formed and went through the drill more successfully than ever. Yesterday we made our first ap pearance on dress parade, and also to re ceive Gov. Curtin. Notwithstanding this was our “ first appearance in public,” and in presence of the highest functionary of the State, it was remarked by outsiders whose lot has been cast with the atmy, that “the ‘Rifles’ were coming out." There is some little excitement among s the soldiers in regard to the late proclama tion of the President, calling out troops for three and five years. Some here are of the opinion that all the three months volunteers will be called on to, serve for that period. The subject has been pretty well canvassed by the men of the camp, and the uni vernal opinion expressed is, that they will first serve their three months enlistment, and, at the expiration of that time, should their country need their services, they will not be found lack ing in courage qj willingness. The men here are kept pretty close within the camp, and many are the schemes resorted to by some of them to pass the guard. In consequence of ma ny of the men not having received their uniforms, they present the appearance of citizens to those who do not know them. They step up to a strange guard and pass for a citizen ; and not unfrequently they return intoxicated. This plan is destined to be destroyed as soon as the troops all become uniformed. Another is, they get a bucket and pass out to the camp, and when out the bucket is left at a house or sent in by a soldier, and thus the guard is deceived We have been nearly drowned out of camp during the last week or two. The rain has been almost incessant, depriving us not only of the necessary drills, but causing us great inconvenience iu the way of cooking and sleeping. Some of the companies were compelled to take up quarters in town.. In some of the messes the water was three and 5 four inches deep. We have got all the men in camp now, making about or seven thousand ac tive soldiers. There is a small battery of flying artillery here, commanded by Gapt. Campbell. They are nearly all new men, but appear to be pretty well drilled. They do not exercise with their arms as much, as the infantry, owing, I suppose, to the fact that theyvequiro the whole camp for drill. *We are all lying here ih anxious ex pectation of being ordered off, .and many are the reports relative to our destination and time of departure. 1 have been told several times that we would leave in the course of two or three days; and also that we would be sent to Baltimore, and by others that we go to, Norfolk. I have ceased to place any reliance iu any report .1 hear. While I write, therein is pouring down, and our boys are enjoying themselves hugely in consequence, no doubt from the fact that we are prevented from drilling. Some are singing, others dancing, some writing, some debating, (most miserably at that,) on the Hect of the war, and others again are ging in a weak quarrel The men in the camp frequently amuse'lhemsctvea with foot-ball when the weather and drills will permit. Indeed the amusements and oc cupations qf the men; whon off drill, are most varied—everything of a boisterous dr riotous character being presented. Every day, almost, Some of the men re ceive boxes of luxuriesji rook as cakes, pies, butter, etc; such articles being deemed too good for soldiers by tjnol| Sam. They also receive letters jfrom /their which, you may depebd, arc relished as highly as the contents of their boxes.— Your bumble servant Is deprived of both these luxuries, for the; reason that stran gers only are aware of Bis whereabouts. I will pndeavor to inform yon of our mext place of destination, at the earliest opportunity; however, I think that fact will not be knowti in sufficient time to in form you before we march. Should we leave here before your, next issue,* I shall write you; as early as possible on our arri val at the next place of destination. Please accept my heartiest wishes for your prosperity, and believe me Yours very respectfully, W. LB. Camp Scott, 1 York, Pa.j May 13, 1861. j Messrs. Editors the earnest so licitation of a number of our company, I take (or rather ask) the privilege of cor recting some statementsmade in last week’s Tribune, by a correspondent signing him self J. A. B, Company 8., 8d Begiment. la the first plaee, he states that “there are some 9,000 troops stationed here;”— The gentleman is certainly laboring under a great mistake ; the greatest number of troops that have been in Camp Scott since its organization, amounts to" 1,700 all told. In the second place, he states that “ there has been, and still are, a great many of onr troops sick, and some have :died.” It is universally remarked among the surgeons, that the number of sick is; exceedingly small, considering the inclement weather, the disadvantages in cooking, and camp life in general. Thirdly, “there hast been a number of frays. ’ Of course that is to be expected, but from good authority we have it, that we have as good if not the best regulated camp in the State. We are anxious that the people at home should ait all times know what is going on in camp, but we do not Want plain facts so largely- misrepresented.

All feel-as firmly devoted as ever to the good cause ; the tide still swells, and millions of true Americans are wait ing for their country’s call, willing to red den the Pgtomac with their blood, rather than see Ashland, the home of Henry Clay, Mount Vernon, the homo of Wash ington, or Monticello, the resting-place of Jefferson, lie in an encSby’s'country; yes, rather than see the rebels take our national capital by storm, we wifi bathe the rolling hills in crimson with oiir blood.

Select PfettUanj. “Jes One Bite.” —While walking down State street recently, “thc-sUbscriber” came up with two. negro boys,; aged respectively ten and fifteen years. The younger one carried an apple in his hand, and the el der one was using all his eloquence to ob tain “jes one bite” of it. ** Well,” said the yohnger one, firmly, “ I’ll give you jes one b|te, but don't take no more’n jes one bite.’’ The larger boy took the apple, opened a mouth that would have been creditable to a hundred-and-fifty-oound catfish, and brought it down on the fruit, leaving a very small share on the other side. “Jim.! ’ said the little one, looking up at the operation with astonishment, “ you take the apple, and give me the bite I” A Noble Mothsb.4-A I lady residing in Portsmouth, N. fc* nays ranee received a letter from her only son, now in Massachusetts, requiting her permis sion to enhstiin the defence of the Gov ernment.

Army Bkvkuoks.—-It has be«& die covered by experience, that soldiers on field and camp duty require some cheering beverage* and since it has been ascertained that alcoholic beverages are injurious, the question arises, “Whatcan be substituted for them f” We have very useful and practical information on this head, from Col. Dawes, an experienced Indian officer. He recommends that coffee and tea should' take the place of liqnors, and says, “ care should bo taken to nave good coffee and tea provided regularly in each troop and company, and every man should have some offered to him the first thing in the morning before doing duty, and also some in the evening. When properly managed, this practice is alike beneficial to health and morals.” A very distinguished sur geon in the Indian army states that from long experience in tropical climates, with soldiers in barracks and in the field, ho observed .that “ a cup of warm coffee,taken in the mqrning tended to prevent sick ness.” 1 During the Crimean war, it was found that when the soldiers obtained warm oof fee they sustained fatigue and were com paratively healthy; but when they were in the trenches, and could not get warm tea or coffee, they were subject to dysen tery. Politically Dead.— -McG., an Ala bama Marshall, arrived at Cleveland about two years ago, in scarchxof a fugitive from justice. Ho put up at the Wendell House, and, during his stay there, had a difficulty with a person who roomed with him, one ■evening, on which McG, shot three times at his antagonist, slightly wounding him the third time. He was immediately ar rcstecjjhand put in jail. In the morning, the following scene took place in the prison: A friend of the Marshal entered his cell and found him ■ seated, his head rest ing on his hands, and looking like one who had entirely given up in despair. “ Como Mao,” said the friend, “ cheer up; the man is not hurt.” “ Ruined, ruined, ruined!" groaned the Marshal, without even changing his posi tion. “ Ruined ! bah!” returned his friend; ‘‘don’t be a child. I tell you the wound is but slight; besides, it id an aggravated case, and had you killed him you would not have been ruined !’i\ ■ “I know.it," said tlio Marshal, and dcnly starting *np; “but three times!— only think of it I—to shoot three times at a man, and not'kill him! lam politically damned in Alabama!" , Fertile is Resources.— When the New Fork and Massachusetts troops first took possession of the depot at Annapolis, they found that the steam engine which plies between that city and the junction with, the Baltimore and Washington rail road had been taken to pieces. A mxm oer of them accordingly set to work, under the direction of a comrade, (who recog nized the locomotive as ini part his own work,) and soon put it in running order. The railroad from Annapolis to the Junc tion haying been greatly injured in oirder to obstruct the passage of the volunteers, these same Massachusetts troops immedi ately set about relaying the track, and in less than a day restored it in good condi tion. Three companies from- the same Massachusetts regiment, consisting of sail ors from Marblehead, were left behind at Annapolis, in order to man the United States ship Constitution. We doubt whe thcr any other single regiment in the country could furnish such a ready con tingent to reconstruct a steam engine, lay a railroad track, and bend the sails of a man-of-war. It will be remembered also that these Massachusetts troops restored to their masters in Maryland some slaves who had fled to them for protection. ‘I ®. 1 ,? tVAT J ON *”— correspondent of a Nashville paper tells a story which may possibly be untrue, about a person who was going to Chattanooga on the railroad.
