this cltN on Monday morning, arriving

At two o'clock, the zouaves partook
Of Il bountiful repast ut the Exchange
Hotel so Literally provided by that
prince of good fellows, Hon. John A.
Weart, ex chief of the Fire Depart
ment, proprietor of the hotel.
The Zouaves CHARTERED at the State
street House, the headquarters of the
Governor, Gen. Runyon and other dig
nitaries
At O'Clock in the evening, the Zou-
ayes, escorted by their full brass band,
and the America Hose Company, pro
ceeded to Bechtel Hall, where the lar
gest and grandest ball ever given in this
state came Off The grand march was
most skillfully devised and executed by
Brevet Corporal Isaac Van Hart of the
Zouayes, who led about 100 couple
in a hundred different tigures-the full
band performing meanwhile.
The large hall, gallery and even ante
rooms being filed with ladies and gen
tlemen, and dancing being utterly i'm
possible, the Zouaves fell in for
drill. The vast crowd were forced as
far back as possible, TO the great detri-
ment of crinoline, and the drill COM
menced From the moment the move
ments commenced the applause began.
The Zouaves we're in earnest, and did
not move an eye TO the right or the
left, feeling greatly encouraged with
the applause which greeted them. The
Trentonians were more than pleased,
and 50 testified their appreciation. AT
ter hard drill OF half an hour, sets
were formed and dancing commenced
and continued till daylight-not the
slightest disorder occurring to mar the
pleasures of the place.
At II o'clock, the Zouaves, with their
fine band, proceeded to the residence
of Senator Stockton, where the Cover
nor elect with his family, was stopping.
After the rendition of several airs, Sen
ator Stockton appeared, and in few
brief remarks, introduced Mr.. Ran
dolph, who after bowling his acknow-
Judgments, invited the party into the
parlors. An hour was very pleasantly
passed, and after partaking of refresh
ments, the party returned to the ball
room.
During the parade of yesterday, how
ever, the Zouaves fairly eclipsed their
marching of the day previous, and were
the "cynosure of neighboring eyes, !"
being greeted with applause from the
thousands who lined the sidewalks.
We had almost forgotten to mention
that our townsman, Capt John G. Rose
visited the Zouaves at dinner yesterday,
and after doing several very nice things,
he made speech, complimenting the
Zouaves in the handsomest manner,
and giving it as his opinion that the
Zouaves are the best disciplined, best
drilled company in the State" He felt
proud of them. and he rejoiced that
they had so splendidly sustained their
reputation at the capital. He said in
conclusion that wherever he went he
heard brakes Zouaves" spoken of in
the highest terms. He was prepared
to stand by the Zouaves, to the extent
of his "pile" Capt. Rose was wildly
cheered
The excursion of the Zouaves will be
long remembered by all who participa,
ted. No company ever received great
err honors--no company behaved better.
