TIIURSDAT HAY 10 Letters from Camp TJenniaon. Camp Dknhisor.i Monday, Mat 6. Mr. Editor JSir.I purpose giving a brie f description of our camp, quarters, fare, etc I presume your renders are already ae quainted with our election of staff officers- and position in the regiment of the Mt' Vernon companies, but it will take only a few words to repeat tbem. Our com panies are A, and B, of 4th Regiment of Ohio Volunteers. While in Columbus, Capt. (President,) Andrews was elected Colonel of the regiment, Cantwell Lieut. Colonel, and Qodman, Major, Underwood was appointed Quartermaster. Th a vacancies of commissioned thus occasion ed In company A, were filled as follows: Captain, Jas. Irvine; First Lieutenant, Mr. Carpenter; Second Lieutenant, Mr Coats. Our fare while in Columbus wfs all that soldiers could reasonably expect, though not as good as might be furnished for sixty cents per day. On Thursday we were informed that we should leave in the afternoon for Camp Denniton, this occasioned considerable exultation to the boys of the 4th regiment. We left Columbus on a special train at about one o'clock. We arrived at Camp Dennison at eve fall. The weather was cold, the guards at the camp informed us that we should hare no lodging quarters till we built them for ourselves, and had they known what they were coming to, they would not have come here, and I have no doubt but all who volunteered for ensy living, have come to the same conclusion since arriving at Ciimp D -nnisnn. We found cord wood on the ground and cars loaded wlh lumber. Willi this material the boys fell to work in constructing lodgings, camp fires were built at short inter vals without regnrd to economy of fuel For beds, cord wood whi thrown by the side of tho fence and a ft or nf boards aid over tiicm, wiilcii was covered by boards leaning against the fence, Ibis with two blankets constituted our sleeping ac. fommodlions durin g a cold rainy night. having supped of an allowance of two "mail slices of bre ad and a piece of linrn. At a tather late hour W3 bunked in, and being somewhat f itiued soon fell aslee p, htforo the rain commenced. Etrly in the morning we awoke bein- vary cold nd heard the rain ptttering on our shelf ers and dropping through. We got our rations late for breakfast, then went to wtrk carrying lumber near an eighth of a miK through mud ankle deip, h r building shanties. It rained the greater part of the day and many of the boys pre- erred staying in their badly sheltered quarters, to wirkinj in the rain. Not withstanding the locth'y had become a pond of mud and slush, most of those who worked, worked with a will; and we had three shanties nearly constructed by night; very few stopping for dinner, and at night we found that those who had worked least at the shanties, had worked hardest at the rations. I found my quota of bread and meat, and some coffee grains this was no more than enough but! divided with a fellow who had been deprived of all. Our quarters when com pleted. consist of six sleeping shanties and a kitchen; the dimensions of each be-ing twenty-one by fourteen feet, and six feet high to the eaves, with rather flat board roof, all standing in a space of le s than seventy feet square. Tnese constitute the habitation of each company. On Friday, the day above alluded to, we worked ankle deep in tho mud, and in the rain; by night we we re saturated. In this condition, with craving stomachs and wet clothes, we bunked, being tolerably supplied with straw. We completely covered the floor like a nest of pigs, only we were covered with wet blankets. B-fore morning we were intolerably chilled. I proposed to inarch in close order, and lay-spoon fashion, bo that one blanket might extend over two men; this was seconded I then extended my blanket over a German neighbor, and attempted to get under his; buf-V"'' repulsed with the announcement, "You must not have my blanket, I freeie too." I accomplished my object and found spoon fashion the most comfort able way of sleeping of a cold night when clothes are wet and scarce. On Saturday the weather was more propitious, and we got our quarters pretty well fitted up This day we were duly mustered into ser vice by a United States offioer. At night we slept very comfortably. On Sunday there was work required to be done, which employed many of us a portion of the day. We had considerable rain wl.ich thoroughly drenched the guards. To-day (Monday) it has been raining steady sinee ' morning. I write m a crowded shanty, and the rata occasionally drop on my paper. Since we have been here, we have not had near enough to eat, we have I. ad bul two meals per day, and most of us have left the table (pine boards) hungry every time. Our rations have not been rogu 'arly given out till to day. Thus far the company's provisions have been cooked all together, and those who were mos1 skillful at grab fared best. I saw a man (?) take about a pound of meat on his plate at supper last night, while some got scarcely a taste; the rain droTO me from the table before I had the salisfao lion of seeing whether he could devour it all, but I heard him grumb le about the defects in its cooking. Many companies made loud complaints about their board nt Columbus, but it is hard now to find a man who will acknowledge that he was dissatisfied with it. The reason of our hard fare here is partly on account of the weather and partly because reoruits have been sent on 'aster than provisions were ordered, con sequently we have been kept on abort allowance, that all may have a share. From physical symptoms I should judge that some of the boy's stomachs have not suffered nearly se much as some of the farmers' chicken roosts, or even pig pens if reports are true; but I will tell no more tales on the boys. There is considerable dissatisfaction throughout tho camp, .but we are assured that our grievances shall be removed in a short time. There is ome mention of colds in the camp, other wise, nothing of importance has happen ed to the health of our boys, we are all in good spirits and enjoy soldiering hugely with very few exceptions. The only frar seems to be that they will not get a shot at Jeff Davis. Camp Dennison ;s on a level tract ef ground surrounded by beautiful hills, It is tbout fifteen mile from Cincinnati on the West side of V;e Little Miami railroad and one mile above Mil ford. It is about a mile long by nearly half a mile wide. About five thousand men are encamped here who were sent within a weeks time, within this time a lino ol llllTJO roi of oltnntl.io ,Lt-oivli hllUtlCUM, have been constructed, extending tl ree- fourths of a mile or more. Various conjectures are made as to the length of our sojournment in this camp. The opinion of many is that we shall spend our term of three months service here and then be sent home. Perhaps this may be the case, for there are men enough to do the fighting in the East and I do not think the seces ionisls will be foolhardy enough to make an attack in the West, if they do we shall be on hand to tight for Uncle Sam with a will despite of bad weather or scanty rations. I will conclude for the present, but by another week I will endeavor to give you an ac count of the discipline, pastimes, morals; etc of th camp. Respectfully yours. Rob't Lukkiks, M. D. Camp Dkhsison, May 8, Mb. Editor I have a favorable opportunity ol dropping you a line relative to our condition in camp at present. Da not think me at all selfish; I shall endeavor to state facts as near as T possibly can. Ru mors have been going around that the troops from Mount Vernon are starving, and some sixty laying sick In the hospital, and this morning I heard that the news had gene to Columbus that some of our company was dead. Now, sir, this is posittvtly a falsehood from beginning to end. I hope you will not credit, such reports through your editorial columns, - unless you have some reliable information that such is a fast, I think lor my own part that it is a propos terous idea for any one to send such news to oar t-wn. If such was the fact, I would think it hard then te bear that oneofqur MountVernon boys should reveal such things in emergencies like these. Itis true, how. ever, that on the evening of the 2d we land ed at Camp Dennison without any prepara tions being made for our entertainment. It is also true that our provisions were scarce on th evening we arrived. We found plenty of railroad wood, and pine lumber noar with which we made ourselves at home the best we could. But, when our thoughts turn back to the history of our patriotic fathers o' the revolution and think ol their sufferings w cannot for a moment complain of our suf- -erirgs at present, even if wt should go with out twelve or even twenty-four hou rs. I am satisfied for my own part that it is not through any wish or neglect of our contract ors, (hat we have been without the necessaries of life: for any man that has crosssd the line of accountability aught to know that everything cinnot be dene i,i one day. Ther bave been four of our men in the hospital since Monday morning, complaining of had colds, resulting from exposure on last Friday while engaged in putting op our barracks, (I for one) but to-day we are considerable better. I went there on Sunday evening last, when ther were five in th hospital up to this time. There is probably thirty in ill from the different regiments in camp. The rain is over now, and tbe prospect of good weather is very favorable. Our Captain returned home laH evening. We are in good spirits, add all ready te light. We have not got our arms yet, but are expecting them every day. Tours, with respect,' J. B. Betass. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. Important Information from the Ilcbel Army. GEN. PATTERSnXIMOVIXO FOUNT.
