The Zouaves of New Orleans.

A friend remarks to us that he thinks if the daguerreotypes of the French Zouave regiment now in this city could be taken and sent to Gen. Butler, he would immediately evacuate his present quarters. Heaven help his Vermonters or Ellsworth's so-called Zouaves when these fierce-faced and genuine sons of Mars come after them! The New York firemen will find a conflagration the like of which they never witnessed in their combustible city, and which they have no machinery for putting out.
