Il MEMPHIS, TENN: SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 80, 1870

during the course of single night; while
another insisted on appropriating to his
own use the hearts and other viscera of
his dead companions On the other
hand, many refused to touch the flesh of
those who had perished until the very
last and then partook of it sparingly,
and with evident feelings Of horror.
Thirty-six of the company had per-
ished and many of the remainder were
on the point of doing SO. Amid
devastation and woe, there we're CLEANS
of heroism that almost seemed needful
to show that these afflicted souls shared
a common humanity. Donner, the
leader, was too far reduced to be taken
forward by the rescuing party. His wife
had her choice to be saved with her chill
dren, or to stay behind and die with her
husband. With wonderful fortitude and
devotion, and in spite of his earnest en-
treaties, she chose the latter. Another
man, one Keisburgh, was also too weak
to be removed. The rest were taken in
safety to California. In the following
April another small party repaired to
Donner's Lake, to see if by chance
either of those left behind yet survived.
They found Keisburg living, he having
subsisted for several weeks upon the
body of Mrs. Donner, who had died
soon after her husband. The story is
almost too shocking to be repeated, but
as remarkable and trustworthy in
stance of the behavior of mankind,
under the most trying circumstances of
which it is possible to conceive, the mar
rative has an interest and Importance
that justify its recital and preservation.

FRANCES SPECIALS.
The ZOuaves Their Organization
a and style OF Eighth fs
p. VI. u.-Il1

France possesses several special OF
extra corps entirely distinct from the
regular army, the National Guard, OF
marines. One of them, and perhaps the
most peculiar and eccentric, are the
Zouaves. There are two kinds of Zouaves
the African or original Zouaves, who
in time of peace are always stationed in
Africa, and whose strength is about l2,-
600 men, and the Zouaves Imites or Imi-
tation Zouaves, who are armed, equipped,
and drilled like the original corps, but do
not possess the same perfection in ma
neuvering, etc. These latter are only
stationed part of the time in Africa !;
the greater part are stationed in various
parts of France. In their armament the
Zouaves differ materially from the regu-
lar infantry, particularly in their bayo-
nets, which have the shape of scythes,
and their sidearm, which is the Alge-
rian yataghan-that is, the peculiar
short sword of the Kabyles. Also
in so far that they prefer to use their
own private revolvers. No one can be-
come Zouave who is not a born French
man, and very large number of them
are recruited amongst the Paris loafers
and gamins. Their drilling comprises,
besides the usual military evolutions,
more particularly also gymnastics, and
no one can serve amongst them for any
length of time who is not an accom-.
plished and perfect swimmer, jumper
and climber Their style of fighting
differs accordingly from that of the reg
ular infantry. They make no bayonet
attacks in close lines, but spread them
selves out so as to have more room for
striking about with their bayonet, and
they enter the enemy's lines on the full
run with large bounds.
One oftheir eccentricities is their love
for cats, and they prefer as pets the large
gray and black cats of Algeria. The
training of these cats is admirable They
know not only all the soldiers, but also
their four-footed comrades belonging to
the same battalion and easily pick on
their own masters under all circum-
stances. They are very obedient to
them, and, not only on the march but
also in battle, take up their positions on
their knapsacks; from which positions
they participate in the fight according to
their own peculiar style, by jumping
into the face of the enemy and scratching
and biting in a furious manner. During
the Crimean war the wounds in the faces
of the Russian soldiers from these cats
were so serious and numerous that they
had to establish at Odessa a separate
ward in the hospital for the better heal
ing of them. alH Haf
In climbing up and attacking a rocky
hight the Zouaves command their cats to
the front to lead the way, and carefully
watching the way the cats take they fol-
low them closely and take advantage of
every foothold pointed outby their trusty
and agile comrades.

/ The Chances for privateers.

From the New York Tribune.
( The extensive Misunderstanding that
prevails in regard to privateering is
shown by the fact that we find several
papers referring to the opportunity that
will be furnished for fitting out priya-
teers in this country to "prey on
English commerce in case England
should become a party to the present
European war 1t is mistake. A pri-
vateer is a legitimate naval belligerent,
carrying letters of marque from an es-
tablished government, or at least from
de fdcto government, and authorized to
prey on the commercial marine of the
enemy. Now, none of the European
governments which are parties to the
Paris declaration Of 1856 can issue let
ters of marque, or authorize priva-
teer, or countenanee in any way a
vessel engaged in the business of pri-
Watering. How, then, can there be
any privateering on British commerce
in case Great Britain should become
involved ip the present European
complicationsf There is no doubt
that all the signers Of fba Paris
Declaration will respect its provisions
and enforce its terms A vessel attempt
ing to prey on the commerce of bel
ligerent without regular letters of marque
would be pirate, and would be dealt
with by the naval ships of all powers as
a common enemy of the human race"
Even if England we're at war with a
power which had not signed the Paris
Declaration-say Japan or Venezuela
and if her adversary we're to issue letters
Of marque to American priyateersmen,
they could not be made available with
out violation of our own laws, which |
the Government would not permit, even |
though i should be shown that England
allowed her own laws to be violated in
the case Of Che Alabama. There is but
one contingency 10 Which American
privateers could be Iegitmately smEloyed |
against English commerce-that Is q war |
between the Governments Of the United 1
States and Great Britain.
