at least $50 OF the old regiment In line in

train for Fredericksburg, and short dis
lance from Falmouth will go into camp on
their old camp ground
After long months in this camp the Dur
yea Zouayes went into the battle Of Antie-
tam. After that fearful struggle they
again took up quarters on the old camp
ground near the Henry House. From there
they went into the battle OF Fredericks-
burg, falling back again to the old camp
Ihey again went Into battle at Chancellors-
Vile, and after that sanguinary struggle
went back to the camp, where they re-
manned until June, 1858. when they finally
bade farewell to their home of a year or
more to go on the march to Gettysburg in
which battle they participated.
The zouaves will go into regular military
formation and Will have with them their
old regimental bugler, who will faithfully
give all the calls.

stands just as It did forty years ago, and

cook the beans for the boys"
I'VE could have done this to a nicety our-
serves forty years ago. said Col. Webb,
but we've rather lost the knack now
