1t is pretty hard to beep the run of the
New York notions: but it will not do to
neglect Col. Wilson's band Of warriors.
List w, dnesday evening, the "Unlou
Battalion OF Zolaves. as they are called,
which Col. Wilson commands, held for E
NAL muster and roll call at their had
quarters III Tammany Hall There were
SCI men Of the battalion present. The
occasion was made sirikingIy impressive
by the extraordinary proceedings which
were had. The m-n were ranged around
the h.ll three deep, with OIL. wilson
and the other officers in the center Of the
room. Tho men had all clad themselves
in the grey shirts and pants which have
been provided Tor their uniform, which is
completed by common brown felt hat,
brogans and leather belt. They carry a
short knife, about seven inches in length,
between a sort Of a bowie knife and
butcher knife in shape. Many also have
revolvers, of which it is intended that
each shall be armed with one or two, as
well as sIung. shot and Mimic rifle. Ali
the men being ranged against the walls,
Col. Wilson with drawn sabre in one
hand and the American flag in the other,
stood forth uncovered and addressed his
m,n amidst dealening cheers.
After short duration to the flag, for
which lie declared his devotion, he called
upon Nll 10 kneel and swear with him.
Waving the banner and aourishing his sa
bre, he knelt on one knee. All present
knelt with lin, and repeated the oath
which he'put to them TO support the
flag, AMI never finch from its path
through blood or death. He said he would
lead them through Baltimore, aud they
would march through it or die, at which
they all arose with a tremendous yell,
flung up their hats and brandished their
glitlering knives amidst prolonged and
frantic cheers. He then denounced death
to the Baltimore traitor secessionis!s and
Plug Uglies, aud said they would leave a
monument Of their bones in the streets OF
Baltimore. Amid yelIs OF death 10 the
Plug Uglies." ko illustrated with his
sword how they should hew their way,
and said, though he would be the first
man slain. he had but one thing to ash,
which was that each Of his followers
should secure his man and avenge his
blood. That they would do this. he again
called upon them to swear, and marching
