How Col. Greusel Obcyod the Order TO
Quarter His Men on the Sidewalk.
Among tho list of delegates in attendance
at the convention of veterans of the Mexican
war appears tho name of Col. Nicholas
Greusel, of Iowa. He recruited company
at Detroit, which formed part of the first
Michigan volunteers, serving under Gen.
scott. After peace was declared the regiment
returned home via Chicago and the lakes.
OF course after the long campaign aud tho
longer journey the soldiers did not as respects
noatness of attire, present as good an appear
ance as whom they left for tho field. Col.
Greusel while in Chicago bought outfits of
shirts white gloves, shoe backing, &C. and
when the steamer was near Detroit the boys
stripped, washed, and donncd their clean
| clothes The late Gen. Alphous $. Williams
was colonel Of the regiment, and when ho
saw tho neat appearance of Greusers men
ordered him to take the right of the line in
tho street parade home, though company
d was not otherwise entitled to it, Col.
Greusel served during the late war,
first as major of tho 9TH Illinois and
subsequently rs colonel of the 36th Illinois
He was temporarily sent in command of
Davis's division from tho field in Mississippi
to the protection of Cincinnati against Bragg.

quarters. Gen. Wallace, under tho msap-
| prehension that itiwas reinforcement of
squirrel hunters" by whom he had been
much troubled, answered hastily that they
might quarter themselves on the sidewalk.
| The answer was conveyed to Greusel, whose
voice, then one of the most sonorous conceiv-
able, rang out with tho sharp commands
which at once set tho entire division on the
march for the railway station again. Gen.
| Wallace heard it in the reccsses Of his head
quarters in the second story Of the old Bur-
nett house, and at once hastened an orderly
to convey his regrets with an invitation to
Col. Greusel to halt his troops. Tho result
was that they were comfortably quartered
and had q royal supper furnished them. Next
day they paraded tho streets, and taking
| position on the surrounding heights soon
caused the people OF Cincinnati to feel secure.

OF the youn ycr FRY there were as

girls, whose ages may have ranged
from IL to II, and they were worse
clad even than the two women, nor
were the growing boys better covered.
As for the little children. whose skins,
poor little wretches, for lack OF wash
ing, were of the color of light mahog-
any, several of them were naked as
they were born, and there in the midst
of an atmosphere pungent with the
odor of onions and misty with the steam
of the stew, they were all huddled hig-
gledy piggledy on the ground, some re-
clining at full length, others squatted

their supper with an appetite only to
be obtained by a days toll in hop

The tent contained no single article
of furniture in the ordinary sense of the
term. An empty barrel, that appar-
emily had once contained flour, stood
in the center with board across the
Top of it, and on this stood shallow
brown pan, which contained what had
been cooked in the large kettle, and be-
side il were several loaves of bread.
Two of the women presided. The
three men squatted cross-legged, with
large zinc wash-bowl filled with the
savory mess on the ground IN their
midst, and n four-pound loaf, from
which, with their clasp-knives, they
hacked chunk as they required it.
Plates and spoons there were none.
They thrust their wedges of bread into
the bowl, and 50 extracted the broth.
and they helped themselves TO meat
with their dirty fingers, tearing il
asunder with their teeth when the
pieces were too large to put at once N
the mouth. In gallon stone bottle
they hal beer. which for convenience
of drinking was tilted into yellow pint
basin.
Even less ceremony was observed by
the children in eating. The female il
charge of the bread cut substantial
