A "SENsATIoN" IN ST. LoUIs-One of the
New York IIeralds "sensations'-the Chica-
go Zouave Cadets--visited ST. Louis on Sat
urday last, the nth instant, and went thro'
their drill about three miles from town, at 5
T. NJ, in the presence of ten thousand specta-
tors. Literally, "they came, they saw W, they
conquered" These Cadets have been in Bos-
ton, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore
Washington and Cincinnati, before coming to
st. Louis. They left Chicago a month ago
and arrived there on Wednesday, on their
return. Their drill may be Inferred from
their title though well informed authorities
state that it is no more like that of the French
Zouaves than a self-boiled egg is like a brick
bat. What they do, however is well done
nay, surprisingly well done
They who were present and Leheld the
wonderful movements of that body of men
saw the startling precision of their strange
evolutIons- witnessed The rapidity wich the
various commands were given, and the
promptness with which they were obeyed-
observed the bewildering changes, the aston
Jsbinp lpoas onI bo /
contrivanees TO thwart The designs of and de
feat the enemy. We say they who were on
the ground and saw all this, can very well
understand how lame would be the effort to
convey to the distant reader correct and
Just description of the display made. There
they come, now-that little band of soldiers
In their unique dress-active as the Ravel
Fanily-straight as arrows--quick as light
ming. Now the march; off again they run at
the top of their speed then into line they
fall, and blaze away at the rascaly enemy
''in the deep distance" Another command
and they are all in a heap-still another, and
they fly like madmen now over immense
bitches Ito the minds eye, of course) then
fairly leaping with their guns, over one an
others shoulders-now again they fall on
their knees and wait the enemy's approach.
Close quarters now, and the Zouaves are
equal TO the emergency, with their shouts
and yells and glittering bayonets stretched at
full length. But another commond and down
90 the boys flat on their faces Ready
lake aim-tire!" Over they go now on their
backs In the twinkling of an eve the guns
are reloaded. On their faces once more
bang again goes their guns And thus, bv
falling on their faces, rolling on their backs,
leapng pell-mell over bitches, rushing now
in squads, then in sold column, at one moment
in the best of order, the next in the worst of
confusion-shooting and running, running
shooting-with hops, skips, jumps and somer-
saults-now in solemn silence, then in the
widest upro0r--kicking up like old Toe, "be
hind and Notwithstanding and plunging
and yelling-by such tactics the Zouaves, as
matter of course, chased the imaginary en-
cmy to the "other side of Jordon. st. Louis
letter.
