pels tho volunteers enstpatro,ism or the eleven
dollars month?


confess that have not seen enough volunteer reg
mens TO hazard an opinion on that point Tie opinion
those who look upon the worst side Of things that
contrast with tho personnel Of the militia, which repre-
sn's the middle, Industrious, honest but not very
iiKeclss OF the population the volunteer army will only
present the scum Of emigration, and will be recruited
among that floating mass Of adventurers whom Europe
senns 10 the United States, and whom work dsgusts
well IN the New in the Old World 1t Is certain,
one side that It is not the millionaire bankers Of Phia
depa ana New York that become simple Zouavcs and,
gu inc oiher hAt foreigners prevail N the ranks OF the
new corps.
Hence the tendency which you must have remarked to
nationaze companies, and even regiments France,
Scotland, Ireland Germany and Italy have given their
names, varied in thousand shapes, to great number
OF corps, the elements Of which have been furnished by
lnose countries respectively Ia the clashng Of warke
natonaes thai which eclpses all others IL the French
nalnaly personihed of course in the Zouave. Every
thing at New York in the Zouave stycfashions hand
bis, theatrical speciaclcs More Zouaves (the uniform
Of the Imperial Guard) are met in the streets
Of New York than In tho streets Of Paris. Whole
companies are really composed Of Frenchmen, who
have served less more, and who seem
TO look down upon all other soldogs-Amercan English
Germans, &c.from the top OF the tower OF SoerinQ
the Malakof should be sorry 10 pass rash Judgment
on brave compatrlos, who appear TO me very careless
what series OF adventures have been able to bring these
Parans from the Place Mauber the shores Of the Po
President Incon the Of eleven dollars per month
Seriously do not believe that the eleven dollars tor
everything AT rst with c'earness Of vision than
Americans English and Germans, they appeared to me to
reckon little the eleven dollars but what certify
III that they are quite insensble 70 the glory of tho flag
with the thirty four stars and the fate of the unfortu-
nate negroes You see by this what the weak side OF nil
this organ zaon is; il ia not an affair OF appreciaiou il
Is affair Of arithmetic The weak side The very weak
side Is the eleven dollars Tor 100 GOO men and ON hat
footing the expeuse IL Ave and half mions az rrancs
per mouth or sixtysix millions per year. For 100000
men the expense quadrupledtwo hundred and sixty
four millions per wear And rocolect that this enormo1a
figure represents only the soldiers pocket money thatho
provision ne of American soldiers Is more abnndan, and
