A private in the Seventh Regiment writes to a New York paper that soldiering is no play in Washington just now. The routine of duty is as follows:—Reveille, at five o'clock A. M., roll call, at quarter past five; company drill from 6 o'clock to quarter before eight; breakfast at eight; liberty until one, when we dine, an hour allowed for meals; evening parade at half past four; supper at seven; tattoo at ten; taps, or lights out at quarter past ten. "Besides these, there are drills for recruits, guard duty or clearing of quarters, cleaning equipments, &c., &c. We are under the orders of the President and General Scott now, and there is no nonsense about it.—We cannot leave the Capital without a pass and only ten passes to each company are issued at a time, and they are only two hours."
