Day after day, week after yveek the same. Civil iansperhaps wonder why the men in camp are so eager to risk their lives in liattle, but the soldier, who has endured for mouths the unending sameness, is willing togive anything for a change of scene. Men did not volunteer extecting to encamp for any length of time in one place. They extected to go directly to the front. And, of course, a irrindinir bitter disappointment is the fate of those who expected to smell Spanish powder immediately. For the recruit, however, all is interesting. During the first month or more some novel phase of camp i : e i i i . 1 me join army nwipimc presents it self daily. New scenes around and alwut this historic! battlefield, where our lathers fought and died a jrein-r- ation ago, are tube visited. Drills, marches, duties combine to make the life of the "rookie" one unending round of novelty and interest. And to the man with ambition and high aims this interest in Ins work con tinues, despite the dreary round of passing in. nit lis, for he striving all the while tor something higher and can well afford to leave it to the sluggard to sit dissatisfied in his tent. The camp of the Fifth Pennsyl vania is located at the extreme east of Camji Tlioiua:-. We arc alto gether "out of the world." To the noitli-ws! ol ns lies t!:e camp of the Twelfth Minnesota, a regiment of giants; and to the we-t is liiiiml the (!es( l led camp of the Kir.-I Sinill Carolina which was recent I v ordered to I'orto Uieo.

Asa rc-iilt the sick rale h s been great, and a niinilier of deaths have iiceiirrcn. i-,vervtliing eousidenil, our camp is on the least desired plot of ground in ( 'hickaniauga l'ai k. This, however, will be righted within a few days. Preparations arc now being made for a change of lo cation. In our new (inarlers we will be at the intersection of two travel ed roads, the ground is reported to be dry and well drained, and we will be w ithin a mile of the village of Eytlo with its renowned Midway end many allurements which work havoc to the lean pocket-book ofthe 1 1 MM 1 111 soiuicr. l ne iniys are an nappy at tho prospect of a change. Uncle Sam lakes good care of his soldiers. Compared with the ul- clad and poorly fed army of Sain, .some, eminently superior in many ,K imieiy oruercu about by men, without doubt their inferiors. But Military discipline demands oliedienee, and so we find the private, the non-eonimissionml ,.n;,... i... IieiiU-nant, the captain, the major, the colonel, tin- general, all subservient to Home superior. Violations of ndo mid disoU--diencc of orders is punished in vari ous ways. For minor offenses the men are rcouired to do "O..I;,.,." duty. Police duty in canip is cn-fni-ly different from pulhv duly in towns and cities. Soldiers sentenced to that duty do not fatten on the public purse lazily swinging a club on some street corner. They are obliged to perform all the menial tasksaliout thecamp ; digging sinks, sweeping company streets, hauling away refuse, and other pleasant (?) tasks are the fide of the petty w rong doer. Fop the graver offenses more severe penalties are inflicted, forfei ture of pay, reduction to the ranks, (in the ca.se of officers), and dishonor able discharge areaiiioinrili,, iwmlJ.- incuts which are dreaded by the man committing violations of "the law. One poor devil who fellaslcep at his st of duly was sentenced to for feiture of all pay, two years in the penitentiary and, at the" end of his imprisonment, a dishonorable dis charge. A too severe punishment for die boy," you will say. P.ul, the United Slates wants men tin- soldiers who are always wide-awake :it tin post of duty. Promptness is another element of camp life.

He is well fed, his rations being plain and good ami of suffic ient variety. H c hear now and again of some worthy who registers a complaint against army diet. But, mark von, the very fellow who does the most grumbling is the man whose own larder is not overly well buj- phed. Ihe men are all well cloth ed, an allowance of sixty dollars a year beinggranted toeaeh man. The quarters are comfortable, that is, as comfortable as circumstances will iiermit. Each five men are allowed one tent, and although the quarters are a trifle crowded, the soldier can congratulate himself that he fares as well as he docs. i " There is one principle which per vades the camp obedience to the superior. ''There is no man in ' the field who acts upon his own free will. Men who have lieen accus tomed to live a free and easy life, affording obedience to no one, are compelled, to learn this the first duty ot a soldier. It ,' eems ' hard for Lincoln 1 lulli'vo sily.
