The camps. --Our freshly are used sympathies for the wounded must not make us forget that the demands for the camps are still as urgent as ever, and in many respects unsupplied. A fund might easily be raised of small subscriptions and placed at the disposal of the head physician or matron at each camp, for the purchase of country delicacies for the invalid soldiers.

The mess of which I am a member, (the "Spotswood") has just finished its evening meal, and "the boys" are passing away time in different pursuits: one is completely enshrouded in smoke from his Bethel pipe, others are chatting of by-gone days and their pleasant associations, while Pigyoke, "the most ethereal of all, is singing "Then you'll remember me." There is no news of importance on the Peninsula. Our scouts and pickets are extremely vigilant in the performance of their arduous duties, and if fall positions were as safely guar
