intense enthusiasm was manifested by our
citizens. Upwards Of ten thousand persons.
old and young, thronged the streets between
the armOry Of tho ZouaYes and the depot Oh
the Michigan Southern Railroad, while the
jam at the latter place was indeseribable'-,
Along the line Of march the house tops and
the doors and windows were alive with the
futtering Of white handkerchiefs. At eight
O'Clock the train moved of, receiving part
ing benediction in tho shape Of three times
three lusty cheers and a salyo Of artillery
Amid the huzzas Of the assembled multi
tude, among whom we noticed many of our
most prominent and respectable citizens,
with their wives and families amid the con-
gratulations and adieus of those who could
not get near the centre Of attraction the
waving Of handkerchiefs by the ladies ON
the balconies the music Of the band, and
the firing Of cannon, the gallant young men
entered their cars, their champion stand oil
colors was handed in, and with a last round
of cheers by the attendant Light Guard and
Highland Guard, three cheers and a tiger
by their ZouaYes from their cage, the cars
moved at eight o'clock and the challengers
of all the military in the Union were on their
way 10 Detroit, where they drill tomorrow.
They are attended by the Light Guard Band.
THE ARRIVAL,
The Zouayes arrived here at 3:05 yester-
day afternoon. The Light Guards, headed by
the Hecker Band, were drawn up in line to
receive them and a vast concourse of people
gathered to witness the arrival of their dis
tinguished guests. As the train arrived, The
Zouaves filed out and the line of March was
taken up town, Artillery Co. E., Capt. Heck
man, firing salute from the brow of the
hill.
The splondor of the ZouaYes uniform and
the perfection of their movements was the
subject of universal remark. The process
sion moved up Water street to St. Clair up
St.. Clair to Wool; up Wood to Superior
down Superior to Bank down Bank to
St. Clair; down st. Clair to Water; down
Water to Superior; up Superior to the
Guards Armory. Here the Zouaves were
welcomed by Capt. Sanford and Col. Els
worth replied in brief and pertinent speech.
The Zouaves by the way have peculiar sys-
tenn of cheering, by counting simultaneous
ly from one to nine, the effect Of which is
novel. At the Armory they dOffed their ac-
coutrements, and stacked their muskets and
marched to their quarters at the Weddell.
The Zouaves wore a red cap Of the Ordin-
ary style of military fatigue dress, a blue
open jacket with yellow trimmings, light
er blue embroidered close fitting body jack
ct, red loose pantaloOns gathered midway of
the calf into leather leggings or high CATERS,
and English hunting shoes. The prominent
officers wore a dark blue frock coat, and their
pantaloons outside of their leggings.
Arriving at the Weddell, this dress was
changed for fatigue dress very neat and
elegant.
Their officers are: Conmandant, Col. E.
f. Ellsworth lst Lieutenant, J. R. Scott
ID Lieutenant, II. D. Laplin Orderly Ser
geant, J. R. Hayden; I'd Sergeant, E. B.
Knox; Quarter Master, R. B. Wetherell.-
The staff consists of Surgeon, Chas. A. De
Williers Commissary, J. R. Scott; Quarter
master General. R. Blankall Paymaster-
General, ]. B. Taylor. There are forty Ca
diets, five sergeants, one guide, one bugler, Q
band of Is pieces, and six walters.
The most Of the company are small and
boyish in stature, but muscular and compact
Their arms and knapsacks are heavy, and nc
puny frame could perform all or the half Of
their arduous drill.
Col. Ellsworth is mere boy in size, but i
ever there was a man who was every inch &
soldier, he is one. He has a voice that rings
out the word of command like the report o.
pistol, and an eye that refractory mem
Der would not care to encounter. He has the
corps most perfectly, under his control, anC
to show his spirit the Chicago Journal pub.
fishes the following paragraph:
IA few evenings since after drill, Captain
Ellsworth called the members together, anC
standing in their midst asked them if the
understood the nature of an oath. They re
piled in the affirmative. We'll, then,' saiJ
he, 'by the Eternal, if one of this compan,
violates single rule, will strip his uniform
from him and send him home in disgrace
With such commander and with such
company, we have no fears of the Zouave
during their absence
The ZOuave Cadet Band is a very fine on'
They played a number of tunes upon tn
Weddell House balcony previous to the boa

J the street, and all testifying their appreciation
of the splendid music.
