This excellent company, under command of Capt. Fremaux, Lieuts. Gusman, Lewis and McGimsey, marched through our streets yesterday evening in fine style, with fife and drums and colors flying, on their way to Greenwell Springs, to go into encampment for the purpose of undergoing the strictest military discipline. They will remain at the Springs until their regiment, the Sixth, is organized and ordered to the scene of action. The Creole’s are a fine body of men, numbering about 80. They were dressed in blue flannel trimmed with yellow, presenting quite a fine display.
