MISCELLANEOUS READING.
THE ZoUAVEs OF THE REVOLUTION.

AT this time it may be interesting to your
numerous readers to know that there were
Zouaves in the war of Independence. The
extract OF letter, written by young sol
dier in the Connecticut army to his parents,
which follows, states the fact:
"Dear Parents: Our Company arrived here
last night very late, hungry and tired
Training is good deal harder than old Squire
Fell tells of. If he'd marched fourteen miles
aday for three days and carried his prog,
besides fathers old French war fussee, cal
culate he'd not been so encouraging to US
boys. Idon't find fault, mind: Tonly wish
to let you know that We are not on May
party. .rg.s t.>
"At Milford tavern we were Joined by two
companies of soldiers from New Haven and
a company of queer fellows as Jake calls
them, from the Southern colonies. They
are rihemen, and are commanded by Colonel
Cresap. They don't use any beds, as we dc.
but sleep right on the ground, all in row,
like Indians do. But their antics in militia
ry exercise are of the curiousest kind. They
load and fire their rifles lying fiat on their
bellies. After that they tangle themselves
all up ina knot, and look just like a porcupine,
with their guns sticking out all over them.
But the wondermost part Of their actions is
their hitting mark. Any one of them can
hit small potato at forty rods distance
You never say anything likeit. When We
get to campI will write more about these
rflemen, who would amuse the girls if they
could see them cut their antics"
The rest of the letter is of private ma
turc. and uninteresting to the public. If it
is agreeable ! would like you to publish
the extract, and oblige descendant of the
writer }. 5. PRATT.
The company described in this letter is
also alluded to in Moore's Diary of the Revo.
luton, as follows: oo ss.l -.
AUGUST !, l775.-On Friday evening
last, arrived at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on
their way to the American camp. Captain
Cresap's company of riAemen, consisting of
one hundred and thirty active, brave young
fellows, many of whom have been in the late
expedition under Lord Dunmore against the
Indians. They bear in their bodies visible
marks of their prowess, and show scars and
wounds which would do honor to Homer's
Iliad.

from the tent host of angry fellows to
