A "CRACK" MILITARY CoMPANY-The
Chicago "ZouaYes,'' numbering 100 men, and
attirsd after the fashion of the French Zou-
ave, are in New York. They are coming rs
far South as Baltimore, and so home via St,
Louis. In their excursions, they always oc-
cupy military quarters and sleep on blankets
on the floor At Rochester, n. Y, Tuesday,
they created 4 sensation by their drill, The
Express says:
AS soon as the field was cleared, and the
Fifty fourth Regiment osted as guards TO
maintain the lines, the ZOuaves entered the
arena and proceeded 10 go through the Man
uai of Arms Then came the flank move
ments in quick time, followed by movements
Xecuted Ia double quick time; wheeling in
company ana platoons breaking in sections,
obllque marches, counter-marches and the
various movements Incident thereto Next
followed the bayonet drill, and then the skir-
mizhing drill, and afterwards a repetition of
these various eyolutiOus directed by the tap
OF the drum ins lead OF the word of command.
The men here dispersed, arms stacked,
when in response to a signal, they again took
position and executed the various movements
wi h the same precision that chdraC terized
their eyolutIOEs when controlled by the oral
command. The fancy movements embraced
the formation of so udres, crosses, pyramids
revolving circles, the stacking of arms and re-
moyal of knaDsacks. The skIrml lSnlng and
bayonet drill elected much applause. The
deplOying of platOonS by Hank, marching, Ie-
treating, firing alta halt, relieving skIrmish-
er., advance firing, rallying by forms, were ali
executed with the rapidity and precision that
challenged the unqualified admiration of
every spectator. The bayonet exercises, the
parry, lunge, thrust and passade, the striking,
clubbing arms, leaping 10 the rear. deploying
kneeling, retreating and firing kneeling, rally
ing by fours couchanL dropping to the ground,
loading While lying upon back, craving to

charge each and all, were xecuted in every
conceivable style OF position, aud with sucn
perfection OF movement as TO send frequently

the eli tire assembly, and draw forth rapturous
expressions of applause.

drawn from the canal scarcely an hour has
passed that scores OF lads and men have not
been engaged in gathering coal from the ex-
posed bottom, and securing old iron and cop

account. One old negro, it is said, has raised
from five to eight bushels of coal each day, by
his industry, and the hogs have made lots of
pocket change by gathering up metals OF ali
sorts and disposing of them cheap for cash.

THE SAN JUAN AFFAIR.-It is asserted
that the statements in the London Times con-
ceruing the San Juan affair erroneous and
exaggerated in most important particE!ars.-
Gen. Harney obtained leave of absence saye-
raj months ago, for one year, to travel in
Europe, and with no expectation of res inning
the command on the Pacific. Col. Wright
succeeds him in that department. When 1t
was ascer tanned at the War Department that
Gen. Harney had reinstated Capt. Pickett to
the position which he occupied when the San
Juan affair occurred, and from which Gen.
Scott had displaced him, with the official APP
pToval OF the authorities here, he (Harney)
was ordered to report in person at Washing
ton, Notwithstanding his previous leave of
absence, and he is probably now his way
to answer for that breach of discipline. Con-
sequently all the charges OF the Times, that
Gen. Harney has been retained with a view
10 trouble, and Capt. Pickett replaced
means Of provoking q collision, are wholly
unfounded. Col. Wright is authorized 10 re-
move every just cause Of complaint. So far
as the title Of the island of san Juan is con-
cerned, 1t is believed 10 rest exclusively in the
United States, and the report OF our CJmmis-
sioner Campbell renders it clear and CoEclu-
siye. As England asserts her claim with
equal pertinacity, and as the whole territory
is not worth a dispute between two such ma
tions. the question ought to be settled by arbi-
tratiun.

PoLITICAL-A Democratic meeting was held
in Fincasue, Va, Monday, at which resoiu-
tioDs were adopted pledgIng support 10 the
Presidential candidate selected by the State
Convention. The effort to commit The Democ-
racy either to Breckenridge or Douglas was
negatived by the meeting. Senator Brown, OF
Mississippi, having read Mr.. Brecknridges
letter Of acceptance, now declares his purpose
TO take part in the fight. as there is no prac-
teal difference in the positions taken By the
two Democratic candidates. There was large

On the 9th. Eight newspapers, some Of them
leading journals, in Alabama, have raised the
flag of Douglas and johnson. Two hitherto
independent pa pers in \. Carolina have hoisted
the names of Bell and Everett. The Macon
(Ga) Telegraph learns, from a source which
It considers altogether reliable, that Hon. A.
II. Stephens has declared for Douglas and
johnson, but on account of his feeble health
may be obliged TO decline to canvass the State,
or 10 accept 4 position On the Douglas j ohm
