ianeous.
A gentleman named Dean, from Apalachi-
cola, Florida arrived in this city, yesterday,
having been driven from that place for being
"traitor." He is a New Yorker, and has
been employed in Florida for a considerable
length Of time as a teacher; and during that
period, he had made many influential friends,
and It was to their exertions in his behalf
that he was indebted for his safety.
He bad managed TO escape observation for
q considerable time; but fear Of an attack
had made the construction of Notifications
necessary, and a son Of the Mayor waited
upon him, and demanded his assistance; but
he refused, stating at the same time that he
was a "citizen of the United States" The
next day he received the following note, on
behalf of a self-constituted committee. We
give the letters Uerbdtim ct iterdtim:

LETTER FROM A zoUAvE.
We were yesterday shown a private letter
from a Zouave attached to the Second Regi-
ment at Washington, from which we were
permitted to publish the following extract,
which needs no comment:
Yesterday the three-years' service was
proposed by our Colonel, and but one hun
dred and twenty.fiv enlisted. When he
cam to our company, he said; snow here is
the best company in the camp. Let US see
how many feather bed soldiers we have
among you" This was said in q very sneer-
ing manner, simply because we had stood up
for our rights at the Oommissary Department
a few days since. The Lafayette Guards,
GERMANY of Cincinnati, turned out forty
men, and the other companies ranged from
hive to thirteen. The officers will throw up
their commissions, and we intend going
home, where we will get up a regiment under
the direct control of the Government. We
will not enlist under Ohio, for we have been
most shamefully treated. You would say so
if you could see us with our uniforms and
the rations we receive.

regimental officers of the Second Regiment
now at Camp Clay, was held yesterday, and
resulted as follows:
Colonel-Wm. E. Woodruff, of Louisville.

tain M. G. Jackson, composed of the citizens
o~fPendleton and vicinity, had a benefit given
them on last Saturday, by the Home Glee
Club and Field Band of the First Regiment,
Camp Clay. The ladies of the place made it
the occasion to present the company with q
beautiful silk flag.
The exercises commenced with field music
by the band. The Glee Club then sung the
song entitled 'The Spirit of '76;" after which
Miss Mary Thomas delivered a very appro-
pirate address in presenting the flag to the
company, which was responded to by Cap
tain Jackson in excellent style.
The exercises were alternated by singing
by the Club and music by the band, which
was highly satisfactory to the audience. Miss
Price, Of the city, sang "E Pluribus Unum,"
which ELECTED great praise. The solo on the
fife by Major HOke drew forth loud applause.
The concert was a complete success, every
