minneapolis in Arms.

The patriotism Of the whole Northwest,
and particularly of Minneapolis, has for a
number of years been source of much
qualification to everyone in this portion of
the United States, and the remark that
when the war broke out no one went to
Canada from this territory is heard on every
hand, and particularly in the South. The
hundreds and hundreds of men who went
from Minneapolis as privates and re-
turned as colonies, ajors, generals and
the like is living proof of this. Since the
trouble in Mexico and Texas over the im-
prisonment of Editor Cutting, wild spirit
of unrest and fierce longing for gore has
been noticed among our citizens. and ru-
mors that numerous companies were form
ing to go to the scene of the troubles were
heard on every hand. Such men as
Col. John T. West, Adjt. Ward,
Col. Chase, Lieut. Col. Hill, Capt
McKiernan and others were not in
sympathy with this warlike movement, and
so stated at meeting held early IN the
week. Since that time other meetings
have been held and the result is that no
less than dozen companies have been Or
gained and are nearly equipped for war.
In addition to these companies. there have
been fully 1000 men to offer their services
III case any trouble should break out. Inc
names of the companies already organized
are as follows:
l. Bridge Square dragons.
2. Battery band.
3. Calhoun Park mounted infantry.
4. Suspension Bridge sharpshooters.
8. Nicollet Avenue heavy artillery.
6. Washington Avenue Fuseers.
Z. Swamp Rangers.
s. Lowry Hill cavalry.
s. Exposition Zouaves.
10. Chestnut Street Flying artillery.
IL. Prohibition Siege Light cavalry.
These are the companies that have
already purchased uniforms and gone to
drilling. The organization is fully CON-
pleted, but the commanders have hesitated
about making it public for fear of creating
petty jealousies, which they think would
have a tendency to disorganize the COM
panies and weaken the fighting ability
The Bridge Square dragons is one of the
finest companies on the list, and is com.

The men composing the company are
nearly all iaborers who have been employed
at the Exposition, where they were selected
by the general. The rumor that he would
invite them all to banquet at his residence

of the members OF the company. This conf

said he did not feel warranted in accepting

Col. West commanded the English

The swamp rangers are all men noted for
courage and strength. Most Of them have
been baseballists or base ball umpires, and
so are aware of the great perils they are
about to undergo. Lieut.. Leavitt Rand is
one of the principal officers of the company
and has been studying up on military tao
tics for nearly two weeks. He is in fine
physical condition and declares that he will
plant the stars and stripes in all the MeXi

The Lowry Hill cavalry, under command
of Lieut.. Cavour Langdon, is one of the
most handsome companies in the city. The
lieutenant has made preparations for secur-

and will give an exhibition drill in front of
the Exposition building Monday morning at
| l1:30 o'clock. Some of the company OBJ
sected strongly when this plan was made
| public, but withdrew their objections when
| the lieutenant assured them that they might
wear dress suits. high hats and kid gloves.
The war song of their company is as fol-
| lows:
Oh, take US down to Ell Paso ,-
And point US out your Mexico;
And a carmine path and a cory row
The Lowry hill boys will bravely hoe,
Killing Mexicans where they grow
From Ell Paso to MeXico!
The Exposition Zouaves is a company
composed of those members of the EXPOSE
ton board who are as yet without titles. 1t
may be remarked parenthetically that all
the members expect to be nothing less than
generals when they return. In organizing
this company there was some dispute as to
whether Col. Hibbard or Commissary Sergt
Palmer should take first place. but the lat
ter finally withdrew, leaving the
portly colonel in command. The zouaves
embrace some of the best material for SOL
diers in the city, and with the benefit of
the Mexican correspondence that has been
made by Capt Gilmore, will no doubt add
greatly to their ability.
