The dtfeplay of gleaming muskets, and brilliant green uniforms of f&e^*$§p$ofv §«£$ Anna, were -the theme^of general admlratiow, and their movements' into rine- were supetb. But still, the roughly dres^rd volvnlur&ts

The writer oftho T'^cs ihe right place for the Superiority of the American over the Mexrran troops. He ought to have hooked into the unquawijl||y9. Qf,Mthe Yankoe"—his firm, slep—his erect Carnage —hissmall, perhaps, hubhardycompact -iaus cular frame. But all these,signs mightfoil Tho great superiority df tlie North AmeriCans is in the inside man—the superior he reditary, inbom courage—the superior intel ligence, self*possesion, and steadiness—in a^ort, in the^ruperbr predominance of mind over the ward anmial. Whether you olotha such men in rags, or in silk and gold lace, il matters but little onlf we suspoct they wll fight belter in your Kentucky jeans than in

Freaoh or English broadcloths. The troops of the United Siatss are not dressed for a hoi iday parade, but for hard service—nat for •how—Jor battle. They are well fed, and theyftpt well but it,does appear to be-the fact that tbe more ragged and hungry they become, the more dsogerons they are in the handling! Your blue jackets and cloth caps are equul to any emergency {and the scull armor of the British Queen's dragoons would be found as vulnerable as the heel of Achilles in a set-to with tie "rough and ready" American vdtanteert.'
