MY DEAR SIR :-The lapse of another year
enables Inc to speak more decidedly as to the
merits of your system of education and 1t
is no less my duty than my pleasure to say
that both as to literary culture and moral
training / do not believe there Is q better
school within the limits of Virginia. You
have evidently the happy talent of stimulat-
ing q fondness for study in your scholars,
whilst you lose no opportunity Of quicken
ing their sensibilities for all that is high or
honorable in life. 1 continue to congratu-
late myself that my son was placed under
your charge, as his progress in all respects
has met my warmest hopes, and feel that
it would be unjust in me to withhold this

The French Zouaves-Their Organiza--
tfon and Style OF Fighting.

The French Zouaves-Their Organiza-.
tfon and Style OF Fighting.
France possesses several special or extra
corps entirely distinct from the regular army.
the National Guard or the marines. One of
them, and perhaps the most peculiar and &C.
centric, 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 there is about IL, 600 men, and the
zouaNes imites, or Imitation zonayes, who are
armed, equipped and drilled like the original
corps, but do not possess the same perfection,
in manauvering, &c. These latter, are only
stationed, "a part of the time. In. Africa,
the greater part they are stationed In
various parts Of France. In their 'arnar
ment the zouaves differ materially nom
the regular infantry, particularly In their
bayOnets, which have the shape of scythes,
and their side-arm, which is the Algerian yata-
Kabyles. Also, in so far that they prefer to use
their own private revolvers. No one can be-
come zouave who IS not born Frenchman,
and very large number of them are recruited
amongst the Paris loafers and gamin: 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 accomplished and
perfect swimmer, jumper and climber. Tner
style OF fighting differs accordingly from that
Of the regular infantry. They make no bayo-
net attacks In closed lines, but spread them
selves out so as to have more room Tor striKing
about with their bayonet and they enter the
enemy's lines on the full run with large
bounds.
one of their eccentricities is their love for
cats, and they prefer as pets the large gray
and black cat Of Algeria. The training, OF
these cats are admirable. They know not only
all the soldiers, but also their f0ur-footed com
rades belonging to the same battalion, and
easily pick on their own masters under all cir
cumstances They areTery obedient to them,
and, not only on the march, but also In battle,
take up their positions on their knapsacEsE.
from which position they participate In the ngnt
