Adams enattv way well be proud of Ler share :<i the Eleventh; The celebrated Eleventh In.liana Zouaves, who hive re-enlisted as veterans, arrived here yesterday from New Orleans on the steamer Charles Th mas, en route for Indiana, on furlough. This regiment has the reputation of being one of the m st excellent tn the manual of arms, bayonet exercise and school of battalion o' any of the Western regiments, and has passed through, probably, as many great battles. It was originally, organized at the commencement of the war with Major General Lew . Wallace as its Colonel. in three month- sen ice. It was first under McClellan in Wes tern A irginia, a J then under Patterson. Its first battle was the second <■: the war, at Romney. Va, where it marched fifty miles over the mountains in one day. suprising and vanquishing an enem- twice its number. Its next engagment was that of a detachment of only thirteen scouts of the Zouaves, under Corporal Hays, who attacked two companie- of rebel cavarly near Kelly’s Island killing twcnt' -three of them and inortaliy wounding seven losing bit one man, iho was baj .. after being taken prisoner, By a forced march of twenty-five, miles per day they joined I’attcrecn At the first engagement at Falling Waters a mai . • ed with his arnivt .ward Winchester, thence to ChardsH vn and; Harper's Ferry. Theirerlistment having expired and th; capitoi being in danger, they gciier us<y nroftered to r.main ten days, or longer if need th >u_;i 'h re were but three < th r r< g 1 ; all the three months tr ops who followed their example. The regiment, alter reen’i-tn g f r th ?<■(> was,, at the expiration fth ir thru; month; serve?, were or Itred to Missouri to rq rt to F; but a sb .rt time after ’ hey r_ ported to Grant and moved to \\ stern Kentucky. After the battle of Belmont, having marched over and reconnoitered W stern Kentucky, with LcW. Wall ICC and C, F. Smith, they t- ok part in the capture ot Fort Henry. Crossing over to Donelson, they made an enviable reputation io th; daring charge upon the enemy s works, with the Eighth Missouri, on the 16th of February 1862. Moving up the Tennessee river with the rest of Grant's victor-»us army at ( 'rump's Landing they drove the enemy's cavalry from Adamsville to Pur.lv. At the battle of Shiloh they formed the left of 'A allace s divison, which was the light ot Grant's line of battle. After the siege of Connth the y marched acr jss to Memphis, then into , Aikansas, travelling over almost the whole of the State: male two expeditions into N rtbern Mi.-sis sippi, skirmishing at Ccldwater and various o.her places.
