Cincinnati daily press. [volume] (Cincinnati [Ohio]) 1860-1862, 1860-08-09


yesterday morning about FIVE o'clock, by the
Little Miami Railway. They were received
by quite large delegation of our military,
among whom were Major General VIM. H.
Lytle, Brig. General Bates, Of the staff of
Gen. Lytle, Major Burke and Capt. Neff, of
Gen. Bates's staff, Quartermaster Gloon and
Major H. G.. Kennett. Capt. Guthrie and
Lieutenant Wilmington were on hand from
the Guthrie Grays. Col. King of Dayton,
aud Quartermaster Gen. Wood, Of Columbus,
were among the guests.
The company was escorted to their head
quarters at tho Melodeon Hall, where they
stacked arms and proceeded TO the Burnet
House, where they partook of an excellent
breakfast
At nine o'clock they repaired to their
headquarters, where they were formally re-
ceived by Major General William II. Lytle
who, in q short but eloquent and elegant
address, welcomed them to our city. He
alluded to the fact that the citizens Of Gin
cinnati had watched with the deepest interest
the triumphal march of the Chicago soldiers
expressed an earnest desire TO witness thor
ough organization of the militia, compli-
mented the splendid drill and military bear
ing Of the Zouaves; spoke especially Of the
qualification which, as Western men, We all
experienced in reading and hearing of the
| distinguished attentions paid in the great
| cities of the East to the military talents dis
played by the Chicago corps; AMI closed by
| extending cordial and most hearty well
come TO our guests.
Col. Ellsworth replied in very happy
| strain; thanking the citizens and military Of
| Cincinnati, and expressing warm desire
that the corps which he represented would
| ever merit the kind attentions everywhere
received. He stated that the regular drill
of the Zouaves would not take place until to-
| day, but that in lieu of any further remarks
| lie would give a squad-drill. Their evolu-
| tons were remarkable for precision and
| rapidity, aud for versatility and grace have
never been surpassed, perhaps never equaled
| at least, in America. The company was then
| dismissed until nine o'clock this morning at
| which time they will proceed 10 the Orphan
| Asylum Lot, and drill until eleven o clock.
| The following are the officers of the
Zouaves Col. Z. E. Ellsworth, Commandant;
| J. r. Scott, First Lieutenant II. D. Lapln,
Second Lieutenant J. X. Hayden, Orderly
Sergeant; L. B. Knox, Second Sergeant,
Charles A. Dc Villiers, Surgeon; j. II. Scott,
Commissary; Il. Blackall, Quartermaster-
General, and ]. B. Taylor, PaymasterGeneral.
The Zouaves have two or three uniforms,
but wear when on duty loose scarlet pants,
tucked in below the knees, CATERS, with
leather leggins, blue jackets embroidered
and trimmed in front with bell buttons and
jaunty red caps. The jackets opened in
front and displayed light blue vest. Above
their knapsacks they carry scarlet blankets.
They left Chicago about five weeks ago,
numbering nearly fifty men, now they have
about thirty Of the rank and file, and the
officers above-named. They are all small
young and 1.-the, and we have no doubt
Judging from their appearance, will prove
'o-day their right to the reputation they
lave attained by their skill as soldiers and
| gymnasts.
We presume the display to be given by the
Cadets ut the Orphan Asylum Lot will be
about the same as they have given in Boston
| New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Balti-
more and other cities in the East, and vet to
be given at st. Louis and Louisville, on theiI
! way home. 1t comprises, besides numerous
regular movements from the Scott and
| lIardee tactics executed in the double quick
time, or "trot," for which the Cadets are sc
| celebrated, drills somewhat as follows:
