The Zouaves jot conceal all their dissatisfaction;
they said that sy did not receive any pay during The
time of their service that they were nearly starved
and expressed their determination not 10 leave this
city bef re they had received teir pay and promise
of better treatment They said that the South was in-
carable of carrying on this war for good officers
for most Of those in service were utterly ignorant OF
military aflas. You may imagine the feelings OF our
firC -eaters.
Our city, generally go quiet on Sunday, was very
lively that day. The stIeets were filled with soldiers
who discussed freely the state OF affairs, of them

and night Five Of the Zouaves were killed
and more than one hundred were dispersed in the
woods, most Of whom We're aftervard caught, and
sent 10 Virginia by the express train.
The newspapers were ordered not to make these dis
graceful proceedings public and of course they obeyed
instructions.

If it is prOverbial that thieves talk most glibly

Gen. Beauregard may be pardoned for appealing
to sentiments which are of the past history of
Virginia, but not in present occupancy or use.
1t is the highest phase Of honor, according to
tIeir interpretations, to give solemn parole on

ratification and the restoration Of the ndly feelings
which prevailed among the happy and prosperous
people Of q common Government would bis whole en-
ergies be devoted If IL should be tho pleasure Of the
people to confer upon him the responsible trust Of
representing them. To war Of subjugation he was
opposed; and while he was satisfied that the Govern
ment did nothing than its duty in the preparstion
il had made TO defend the National Capital yet hs
would be prepared ut any moment 70 lend helping
hand 70 the further progress Of ts unnatural
conflict. Dir. Lincoln, he declared, not the Pres-
dent Of his seloction and he neither responsible
for nor prepared to sustain the policy OF that function
ary. Lincoln, however, was not the Government,
although charged for the time with ts administrative
functions; and while he rpudated all allegiance to
him or his creed he was, as he had always professed
to to- loyal to tho Constitution Of bis country under
which the nation had been Prosperous the people
