wer- sold; after deductng expenses 81 200 pass INTO
the exebequer Of the Company, the whole OF which
sum- Col Ellsworth assures us is to be strictly applied
10 such charitable purposes may seem most worthy
Of aid.
Thus the Zouaves display another sodierly quality.
Generous fellows they are well nobly disciplined
and brave.
1t was the Intention Of Companies A and Of the
Sixth Regiment to give grand supper to their guests
on the veung preceding the Cadets departure. Bot
this good purpose was overturned by the unlocked
for determination of Col Ellsworth to leave for Boston
Yesterday afternoon. On short notice, therefore,
collation. was prepared by the companies in question,
in the large drl-room of the Washington Gtays, and
at 9, D. H. yesterday the Zouaves sat down to their
last dinner in New.Yoik.
After the collation., Capt. Frank of Company A,
made brief speech complimenting his guests thank
netbem for tbis WRIT and closing with invocation to
bis own men for three cheers and tiger in behalf Of
the ilustrious departing. Three cheers were given.
Then followed q neat little thank you from Col. Els
worth and the sharp, exact, one-two-hree shout OF
the Zouaves. Then a little speech about Col Pinck-
ney; then little speech by Col Pinckney; then,
rising from the table, general shaking OF
hands, packing of knapsacks and unssack-
ing of nuskets; at last it was announced
that the coeseorts from the other regiments at
the door, awaiting the journey the Norwich boat.
The following detachments composed the escort: spe-
cial suard-6th Regiment, C ,mpany A, Capt Frank;
Company F Capt Eelspacber; general escort-6th
Regiment Capt Millers company; sth Regiment, Capt,
Bucks company; 18th Regiment, Capt MaIson's COM
pany. Proceeding down Broadway, the escorters and
escorted reached the Vanderbilt, which runs in con-
necton with the Norwich and Worcester line for Bos
ton, at a few minutes before o'clock. A sxpounder
was on the wbarf-tensguns were fired to signalize
their arrival the pier eleven at the departure of the
boat and the Zouaves we're fairly on their way to the
sister city.
At Boston they will be the guests of the hosptable
"Tgers' whose renown is commensurate with that
of the hub of the universe. Returning next week to
this city they viii be receir ed I'd Company of our
bobe Seventh and in unison with that crack corps will
make al exeursion to West Point. Ifthe Western ca
dets prove the superiority of their discipline to that Of
the Government boyr, they may then indeehsit down
and weep, like many Aexanders, that there are no
more rivals for them TO conquer. Another year, how
ever, may tel another story. The lesson taught by
the Zouaves has not fallen unheeded. Already the
btstdrled corps of the First Division moving to-
ward the requirement Of rhe taics. But, even if
in short time we should succeed in displaying whole
regiment of proficient Zouaves, to thu zouaye
Cadets Of Chicago must always be given the
credit of havog first taught the citizen soldiery of the
North that change is sometimes improvement.
