AN AMERICAN CITIZEN THREE YEARS IN THE
PRussIAN ARaY.-We have been informed,
upon good authority, that a man named Krecker
has recently returned to this city from Prussia.
where, during the last three years he has been
doing military service in the army of Frederick
William.
Twenty-one years ago. he left his native coun-
try and came to Cincinnati, where he located
and soon, by industry and economy, saved
enough OF money to purchase some property
which he still owns. After a residence of
sufficient length of time, he became natural
ized and for twelve years enjoyed all the prv
leges of a citizen of the United States. At this
time he determined to return to Prussia, partly
upon business and partly for the purpose of Wis
iting his relatives who were still there. Imme-
diately upon his arrival, his service was claimed
by the Government; he was imprisoned and
compelled to perform military duty for the space
of time we have named, all this time having
family and owning real estate in this country

ANECDOTES OF THE ZOUAyEs AND TURCos.-
The newspapers, correspondents from Italy, and
Paris stOry-tellers, give us all sorts of reports
and anecdotes about the Zouaves. the Turcos.
and other new species of troops, now in Italy.
The Zouaves at Palestro, they tell us, got their
bagged trouser legs so wet, and therefore so
heavy, in crossing some low lands, that when
ordered to the charge they cast off their trou-
sers, and ran to the Austrans, bayonet in hand,
bareleggedl The corps has been so wild, it is
also added, and so little regardfnl of n,eum and
t,tua, that the Emperor summoned certain
number of them, and told them he would order
them back to Africa and to France, if anything
OF the like occurred again; whereupon, it is
sald they cried like children, and promised
good behaviour.
The Turcos are new race of men upon the
European field of battle, or, at least, not there
seen or known since the days of Hannibal who
led their ancestors into Italy. They are Ma
hommedans under French officers and sub-of
hcers, natives of Africa about Algiers, black
or woolly headed We have the first account
of them on the field of battle in the cores

june 4. McMahon's division is made up of
these troops, and others from Africa.
The correspondent had then just heard of
this division at Magenta, where they attacked |
the Austrians, protected by their cannon. |

one of the strangest and most terrible specta-

the enemy like the savages of Cooper, without
mercy or quarter. Soon a horrible melee oc-
