PERSONAL APPEARANCE OF THE zouAvEs.
As they appeared last night, no class Of men
could be better calculated to 90 through the ia
tigue Of campaign than Colonel Ellsworth's
? Zouaves. Thick-sst, rugged, and tough fellows
they are, capable OF bearing any amount of hard
ship. For activity, bravery, and hardibood,
mono can compare with these very ine boys, and
n they do not give good account of themselves
10 battle, 1t will not be from q lack Of any Of
these qualities.
= Their uniform consists Of gray jacket trimmed
with blue and red cord, gray pants, aud red shirt,
red cap with bl q band, and regulation over
coat. They are all armed with Sbarp's breech-
loading rides, worth S67 apiece, and huge
bowie knifes which can be attached to the mug
ales Of their riaes TO answer the purpose Of bay
onets Their knapsacks are made of rubber
cloth, and in case Of rain they can be used SO as
to protect the entire body from the wet. A
blanket, tin plate knife, fork, and various other
articles, can be carried In each knapsack with
ont any Inconvenience. A fatigue cap Of gray
felt, and tin cup strapped on the outside of the
knspsack, and = stout pair Of shoes, completes
the outfit.
THEIR RECEPTION
The regiment not being expected until this
norning, there were very few persons at the de-
pot when they arrived. Those who were pres
ent, however, cheered most Justify, which was
. responded TO in true Zouave style. The regiment
then marched up 70 the Presidents House, and
then back TO the Capitol-some of them fling
OF at the quarters provided for them on the
way back. They all seemed extremely tired, and
very glad that they had arrived at their journey g
end, 20 that now . little rest might be afforded
them.
II there is any Sighting to be done, the
New York Fire Zouaves want to be counted in
for one chance, anyhow.
