They have deceived the people, and they know that the deception begins now (o bo detected.

SEWS FROM THE TIOGA BOVS. Correspondence of The Agitator. CaSip CfRTIN, ! Harrisburg, May 31, 1861, We are soldiers now.. Things have worked, and I have again something to write about.—• We were sworn in To-day, and have entered the State service as a part of the thiHecn regiments of Infantry, composing the reserve corps of the State. - Wo have taken the oath of allegiance to the State and to the United States for three years or during the'war, and are to be ordered to camp either here, or at some point thd 1 GoyV ernor may designate -within the State limits, subject to the order of the Federal Governments; The Governor visited the camp a few days ago, and told us that it was bis intention to supply ns with the best arms either for defense or do structibn that could ho procured, and that we were to have the best of uniforms. He also said that it was bis determination to make the fifteen regimehts (thirteen ofi Infantry, one of Cavalry, and one of Light Artillery) held in re serve the finest army lhat ever .trod the Amei ican soil.' These promises are very nice, and cosily made. We shall see whether-they will be as easily fulfilled. But the long agony is over njjw, and that for which wo have so long and so patiently (?) waited, has been accom plished, and, as was truly remarked to-day by one of; our company, “the first battle won.” We have now befen in canipjhere nearly five weeks, during which time we hijive learned-many things; We have learned that logo on a detail •to put up-a few tents, means-hut a. trifle less than a hundred, and that by (t few minutes, is meant a few hours. We have learned that to go to the commissary's department to move a few. barrels, moans to open aboiit fifty hogsheads of bacon, and place each piece separately," to prevent it- from spoiling; to move about a hun dred barrels of pork, beans, i potatoes, sugar, Ac., Ac., and that to go on guard for two hours on and four off, frequently means five hours on and dne off for the whole day, rain or shine, — It is [bought by some that the Quarter Masler, or sojue other officer gets pay for this work, and gets it done by the soldiers for nothing, and makes a “big thing” rf it. I This, of course, applies to erecting tents, “moving barrels,” Ac., and looks very reasonable. “Who would'nthe a soldier?" But so far, our work has been by no means kiliing, and our privations have been few as regards eating and sleeping. There is something peculiarly cheerful and attractive, in a long bed of straw, filled with a hundred jovial, fun loving fellows; cracking jokes at oth-' era’ dxpenso, and each with a song or a story, as gapics lag and we cuddle down afc flight.— The khouis of laughter, which are not few and numbered, might not please a cynic, but to one who has still tie feelings of youth, and to one hot qhite dead to the enjoymtSnt Of those around him, whom he must know will sohietime “have his dky,” il is art amusement not often found. Our living, consisting of bread; riicat, potatoes once (a day, beans or rice oneb a day, coffee •twice a day, is hardly as good as we have been accustomed to at home; and if wo can get dainties occasionally, such a's irtilk, chickens, geese, Ac., we ought not to be blamed; At! amusing and interesting incident oteured to fivle of our boys the Other night, the particu lars 6f which may not be uninteresting to their friends. A few days previously, Campbell’s Light Artiilefvarrhfed herefrom Cbambcrsburg, consisting of 84 horse, about one hundred men and live pieces. They had traveled all night, and had taken up duiing that time ns deserters, ten geese-and nine chickens. One of our men, who is] supposed to keep his eyes open at all times,.-jn-as not long in discovering the foitl play praclifeed upon'the farmer's along the road, and spoke to a friend concerning it. The considfcrod it would be ncnlndre than fair to re turn alpart of the chickens to the owners, and tboytsecrelly took possession of them. But they could not find the owner conveniently, and we had a chicken pot-pie for dinner the nest day. ! -'XVvas an evil day those fowls were stoic,'' because it only served to sharpen the appetite of five! of our best boys, who are naturally up right and honorable in their dealings. At all events' they liked the chickens, and thought that, milk in coffee would add greatly to its merits ay a beverage. . Accordingly, at night, having first “malie it on the square” with the Captain of the Guai'd, they went out of c imp just after dark, •‘to lakfe a walk,” as they called it, “and to get a, snrff of fresh country air.” For some reason nnkuJwn to the guard, one of them took a pail with him,.and ail took blankets albeit it was a warm night. On their way to the country they saw a few cows in the yard near a house, and thought that perhaps tl fe farmer had forgotten to milk them.' Thinkibg to do him a favor, and, being naturally of an accommodating turn, they mill;ed tlleir jinil full; 'hut just as they bad fin ished,'thejr heard a noise at the house, and im agining farmer might misconstrue their motives if ho satv them there, they left and for got .:o leave the milk, Df course that was all right, as the man might not.have seen it if they had left it. Dn their way,hack to camp, they did rot fceo any heu roosts that were likely to lireuk down on account of the load on them,, hud could not in any a man to get rid of a fcvr-hons that mlyhti if left alive, scratch up the seed in the garden, planted for early veg( tables. So they continued their way tb camp, reaching there, with all tffcir exertions, about half an hour after the tattoo had beaten and the sentinels furnished with the counter ing! . Not having that, they wore taken up by the "Corporal of the Guiard, Nor 28,” and po litely shown into the gurtrd house. But when the sentinel called for th& corporal of the guard, the bojys took the precaution to wrap the pail in their blankets, for fear the milk might get dus ty cr sour,-and took it to the guard house with them unnoticed. Had they seen the Captain of the Guard, they would have been all right, but he vas temporarily absent, and theji were re tail ed in the guard house until ho returned.— Tin hews was notlong in spreading that five of the Wellsboro boys vVefe in the guard house, and when they cariie but, the bhilding tvas al most completely Burrohnded by their comrades who were not sparing of their jokes and smiles, at the expense of their prisoners. But it was all forgotten the nest morning when the coffee waj S ;rved. It was a “good joke” on the boys, and f trust that it will learn theta a Useful les son, viz., never to be caught by the “Corporal of the Guard, Ku. 28 - ' y ’ The names of thd boys I hbvealmost forgotten, but it was noticed that Seudder, Hintndn,, Atherton, Webb, Und'‘a fel low that would he taken in a crowd for your humble correspondent, wefe very late in leaving their beds the nest morning. It was rumored down town that Pratt was in the guard house at the,same tiaie, but I not, believe it, as ho was complaining of the head-ache the morning be fore the hoys started. There are about 100 men camped near Har risburg, with.four hundred government horses and lOOlwagons. The horses, as a lot; are the finest I have ever seen, and Idonot think there poor one in the whole lot. Four horses hitched to each wagon, and driven with line by n man who sits on one of the wheel iea. 'TfTe horses are now being properly ie, and each one'is branded " O’.

White wo are aware that the State should have properly clothed us long ago (iind-I think it would have been done if the -State had had the right men in the fight places, we are none the less thankful for the renewed "assurances that we are not forgotten at home. There is a reality about dor position that wo felt nntll to-day. We now realize that we are bound by ties,dearer than life to be faithful W the teachings of our own hearts which broOght us here and all will be well.— Flie day for backing out has passed, and boy’s play is at an-end.

More about Caup Curtin. —-A Committee of the Pennsylvania Nurse Corps visited Harris burg on the IClhJnstant, and Camp Curtin on -the l?th. If wfSw they say is true, Camp Cur tin is now a model place, whatever may have been its character heretofore. The good ladies say: ■ x . ,■ “Wo visited the Commissary’s department, and found barrels of as good crackers as we have ever eaten, of every variety ; bag? of cof fee piled at least four feet high, barrels and bags of first rate rice, boansin large quantity, sugar, good fresh bread, of which we all par took"; hams and shoulders, pork as good as we c m purohase in market, a whole fresh beef, batter, and, in fact, everything calculated to promote the comfort of the men who are already or who may be sent there. We walked all roun 1 the camp, and found it in good order, every th.ng being remarkably clean and neat. There wa> no offal or rubbish visible. “We nest visited the hospital, a frame buil ding ; wo were informed that there were at that time thirteen patients—there had never been more than twenty-three—and but one death bad occured from sickness since the eamp had been established, and that was before the hospi tal was erected. Each man is furnished with a clean straw bed, clean sheets and pillow case, clean drawers and shirt when they are received into the hospital. They have three physicians, whose reputation for skill and kindness, as well as experience, is established beyond all donbt. “The kitchen we found in a model condi tion, the tins all nicely scoured, the crockery shining, and were strongly tempted to accept the invitations of surgeons to remain and dine afThcir table; but previous engagements bad prevented our accepting the invitations of some of the companies on the ground, who were proud of their Commissary and the Governor, who is almost worshipped by the sol diers. Of this we can assure you, the officers fare no better than the men, who are all happy and contented, and eager for the fray.” The statements contained in the above do not Correspond “at all at;aii” with previous report?; and we are inclined to believe that some little extra preparations were made for the reception of the distinguished visitors. Tho “puffing” is rather on tho feminine order, particularly that in reference to the soldiers “almost worship ping”—anybody. But wo hope it is all true. Carrying , tue War into Africa Sure Enough. —-A few days ago it was reported that three fugitive slaves had sought the refuge of General Butler’s camp at Fortress Jlonroe, and that in answer to the requisition of their master, the General had deulared them contra ban of war, and so had retained, them and set them to work. Next day, it appears, eleven more of these contraband niggers drop in, and' the day succeeding forty more, and the day-after that there is an accession of a hundred. Appre hending next a general slave stampede into his camp, General Butler appeals to Washington fur instructions concerning these contraband niggers. The President approves of bis con duct, and he is recommended to go on as begun. In this matter he has struck the South ern insurrection in a place wbich is as vulnerable as the heel of Achilles; and we dare say that, in receiving and sefeing tho slaves of rebels as contraband of war, this Southern confederacy will be substantially suppressed with the paci fication of Virginia. ' The Confederate armies may hold out for some time on short allowan ces of clothing, corn bread and shinplasters; but when it comes to the stampeding of their negroes by hundreds and by thousands, they willbeglad enough to submit to the sure pro tectiotf of the Union.— Herald.
